touting some promising numbers. the city comptroller's office reported to jump in new restaurants and bars opening in the city 99 new businesses open in february, 147 in march. the mayor said. the city is trying various strategies to cut red tape like getting rid of the entertainment license fee for new businesses in their 1st year, and when you go out to eat, tipping can be a touchy subject we've seen some san francisco restaurants do away with tipping entirely replacing them with service charges automatically tacked onto your bill, and there's still lots of debate about whether that's fair. well those extra charges that are as high as 20% of your bill are about to be illegal as our lauren toms reports, some industry experts say this might not translate to cheaper dining bills and, in fact, could be bad for both customers and restaurants. >>diners in san francisco often

conditions to match it all up and speaking of gusty conditions, our inland areas are under a wind advisory, at least near solano county until 5:00 today with that in mind, we could see wind gusts close to around 30 to 40 mph at times, but we'll also notice that along our coastline despite the fact that we're not under wind advisory there, so if you live near bodega bay or half moon bay keep in mind. those winds are going to last into the evening hours tonight. at least it's dry, though. once we head into our friday night early saturday morning forecast, that's when that cold front approaches bringing in a series of showers for us all throughout the bay area, and then we dry up quick as we head into sunday, we'll talk more about that in just a 2nd. let's take it a step back and let's talk more about today, though 70s are expected for us today up into the north bay near napa and vallejo, and we get so close to the 80s opened those communities, but we actually hit the 80s once we head off into the east bay near concord in antioch, without for 70s stretching down into the santa clara valley, but i can't forget the coastline too 60s in the forecast near those micro climates today upper 60s near san francisco, let's take a quick look at what we can expect in our inland areas real

fast and then we'll head to the bay 80s 80s and more 70s, at least as we head into our friday forecast. it's not until saturday where that cold front comes in and really drops those temperatures fast. into the 50s. but then we have a nice recovery into sunday and monday we go right back up into the 70s for our inland areas. that's going to be a beautiful forecast for us as we head into next week, but if you live along the bay closer to oakland or san francisco, holding on tight to the 70s for now, we'll cool down into the 50s as that cold front approaches and then averaging out into the 60s as we head into early next week, with partly cloudy skies in the forecast. >nicole>well, it's something we all do the mindless scroll on our phones, but how mindless is it really coming up in our wired wednesday report will speak to an expert live on how being glued to your phone can have an impact

>nicole>yeah. it is wired wednesday. what we all know. the feeling. of being born. scrolling. through our phones on social media, whatever it may be, it's called doom scrolling. and today we're talking about the negative impacts that doomed scrolling can have on our mental and physical health. joining us is seen at video host and producer abrar al hedy. welcome a bra. so let's 1st talk about the why why do we doom scroll as the security blanket? what is the psychology behind being a drone, so to speak? >live>yeah, absolutely. sometimes you're in a situation where you feel uncomfortable. like if you're waiting at a restaurant for your friends, or
9:21 am
if you're on the train, and just your natural instinct is to say, ok, i want to connect with people. how do i do that? i do that through my phone or it's a good way to procrastinate too, because if you have this endless to do list, it's a lot easier to scroll through tiktoker instagram and watch entertaining videos, and it is to tackle that to do list. >nicole>it's almost like an addiction, though, and no addiction is actually good for you. so how does scrolling through your phone without any stoppage lead? the harmful consequences. >live>yeah. i mean, it's essentially it's a dopamine hit, right? so if you're getting these notifications or if you're scrolling through and you watch a really good video, and you say, i'm going to keep scrolling until i get that next video, you become hooked on it. and your brain really says this is something that's that's really enjoyable to me, but then you look up and it's been an hour. it's been 2 hours and you've wasted all this time and also impacts your real life relationships. you know if you're absorbed in your phone while being with friends and family, you're not really reaping the full quality of that time. >nicole>i worry about that with the youth in my own kids. ok, so now we've talked about the negative effects. what are the steps to recognize and stop the
9:22 am
doom scrolling? >live>yes. so the 1st thing you're going to want to do is use your phone screen time tools. this will tell you how long you spent on your phone. sometimes it's a startling number. so that's a good reality check and then you can utilize the focus modes on your phone, whether you have an iphone or an android. what this does is it can block certain notifications during a certain window of time so you can set a focus mode for work. i'm not going to get notifications from social media while i'm at work, but i can get calls from loved ones right, so that's really helpful, but another really good tip is to buy a physical alarm clock. because if you >nicole>are using >live>phone as your alarm, it's the 1st thing you see when you wake up in the last thing you see when you go to sleep, and you're probably going to check your social and getting social media notifications while you're at it, right. >nicole>that is a very helpful hint and tool. i appreciate abrar al hedy. thank you for your time today. well, it's time now. for our money watch report today. the federal reserve meeting on interest rates, and experts believe that the central bank will leave its benchmark rate at a 23 year high inflation continues to dog
