3:03 pm

3:04 pm
school year. yeah. all right on the 1st alert weather now some of us will be feeling a warm up as we start off the week. meteorologist darren peck is in the virtual view studio tracking our forecast. daryn, the micro climates are in full >>effect. a are and there's kind of a battle going on right now, actually, liz, there's a little bit of offshore flow that's happening if you're inland, and then there's a little bit of onshore flow that's happening near the coast, and the result is where they're meeting. there's not much flow at all. so things are really stagnant out there. high pressure is in place keeping us relatively warm and as a result, it looks hazy out there were not really mixing this up much. let me show you another vantage from oakland near the airport, looking back towards the city, you kind of see that inversion layer just kind of capping. whatever hayes there might be quality is fine looking at air quality centers across the bay. we're good, but the visibility has gone downhill as a result of this pattern. the main impact from this, it's going to feel warmer
3:05 pm
if you're inland, we're really started warm up that's going to be felt across the next 2 days. really. here's another example of this. that's the view today. on high resolution satellite. we don't have any marine layer really, that's built in off the coast. there's a little bit in the morning that builds in, but it's very rare. you get such a crystal clear view off our coast. the marine layer has gotten pushed way down here and it's for the most part clear, sunny and relatively warm. we won't see a whole lot building tomorrow, either. maybe a little over the city and near the coast. but for the most part, it could be another very sunny day. and tuesday is going to be the warmest day of the whole 7 day forecast. and you can see those micro climates list was talking about going to be in the mid 80s tomorrow for some of our warmer inland valleys. you're like low 80s today. meantime, we'll be doing low 60s out here. for the coast and san francisco should be near 70. expect tomorrow to look identical to today as well. sky is going to look hazy. as this pattern stays in place, but we're going to start mixing this up by the weekend.
3:06 pm
that's saturday. look how different this is. by the weekend have come down in some cases as much as 15, or 20 degrees. you're not getting out of the 60s for many inland valleys by saturday. and the marine layer will build back in by saturday. that's the satellite today you don't see what's driving this until you look at the water vapor. and now you can see it. there is a trough right here. that just moved in across the entire west and that trough is kind of act. like a plow, and it's scoured out the marine layer. look at everything is getting chased away. but by wednesday comes back now that looks different. that is our wednesday morning by 7 a.m.. it's not going to be like a total gray out. this is not going to be a return of full force may gray in fact, for wednesday morning, it's just like the interior of the bay. we're going to wake up with more marine layer will be a lot more off the coast. but what this does is it starts a stronger onshore flow, and this will start bringing the temperatures down for us by the time we get there, so if you look at it in the 7 day forecast, look at oakland, you can chop out in the mid 70s here. by saturday. your down to
3:07 pm
60. the clouds will start increasing even here in the city after doing 70 tomorrow. san francisco will be down in the upper 50s. by the time we get to saturday microclimates, really show this change low 80s here for the next few days, 68 for the north bay valleys by monday, same story story for san jose here in the south bay numbers on here showing you that and when we finish up the micro climates inland east bay doing that same deal. i think the beaches you probably don't notice much of a difference at all, except for 1 item, right now. it's a sunny day at the beach. make the most of these because by the middle of the week we'll go back to more typical mayweather, where the marine layer will re establish itself off the coast and you'll start to get more grace guys there. that's where things stand for now, liz back >>to you. all right, darren. thanks so much. this afternoon. our conversation centers around the upcoming election now less than 6 months away. can you believe that? we know california has historically been a blue state in presidential elections, but that didn't stop some of the biggest names in the gop from

3:18 pm
biden and former president trump's campaign strategy? at this? >>well, if you look at their strategy so so far, you're seeing a couple different things. one is your seen that joe biden has to put together what's called a base plus >>election. >>he has to get out the democratic >>base. >>he has >>to >>grab or if you will push a little bit higher than that to get base >>plus >>for donald trump. he's kept out at about 4647. 47%. so that means he has to have what's called a conversion >>election. >>he's got to convert some of those >>voters >>because of that overall number. obviously, it's you get to to 70. that's the place you need to be 276. liberal >>votes. >>but if you're tapped out at 4647 and you're in a conversion campaign, then you have to go negative. so expects negative. that's not a surprise for your viewers, but nonetheless we have 93 0 people who are eligible, devoted to vote in 2016, who didn't show up at the polls, so that will be an important element again for joe biden, though it's a base plus election so different strategies moving forward one reason that you see such early debates slated for next
3:19 pm
>>month. yeah, i want to talk about those debates because it's interesting that they have committed now. nothing is official. quite yet for to 2 different debates. i'm curious how you feel like that. helps or hurts their campaigns. >>yeah, i mean, look. june 27th that 1st debate, is an important date because that's the last date by 5:00 pm that california sets its ballot so in the lead in here you're talking about, you know, potential recall of a dea. you're talking >>about >>a ballot measures and things going to the ballot. we're going to be a huge set of ballot measures that will spin up >>turnout >>in california. and across the country. you had abortion rights measures qualify in 2 states over the weekend. colorado and south dakota. and you're going to see this even across the country potential. another 4 or 5 states, so that means that this is about what potentially could be the largest turnout election in american electoral history. it is the most important election since 1860. but let's see what that actually spends out because usually we entered the summer doldrums and nothing >>happens.
3:20 pm
>>the months of june all the way >>to labor day. well, there's something very big happening right now, and that's trump campaigning while the hush money trial continues. how are his legal battles impacting his run right now? do you think there actually helping him? >>well, i mean, look, the campaign from the courtroom. it doesn't seem to be affecting his >>base. >>no surprise >>there. >>if there's a conviction that will have some impact on those marginal swing >>voters, >>those purple people that we often talk about, however, there has been a push. for those kinds. of pesty. nikki haley voters that have remained in gop primary similar to what democrats have had with younger voters of those voters had voted uncommitted, for >>example. >>in michigan so each party has a base problem and an enthusiasm. problem coming down to just a small set >>of voters >>and a few small set of counties not even states. that will decide the presidential election in >>november. now, before we go, i want to talk about a congressional special election.

20th. 20th district special election to replace former house speaker kevin mccarthy now republicans vince fong and mike wardrobe. oh, in the front in the runoff tomorrow. this is 1 of california's few solid red districts. republicans hold a narrow majority in the house. only 4 seats and there's 5 vacancies right now how significant is the outcome of this particular election? >>all right, so you nailed it right there. and here's >>why >>look, this is a red district. it's no surprise that a republican is going to win. it's probably going to be vince fong. he got 42% and 2 previous elections here, but it also brings republicans to 218 seats with those 5 vacancies. republicans are sitting at 217. so to 18 gives them the magic majority number that >>they need >>if they stay whole on votes, they're not staying whole on votes. thanks to marjorie taylor green >>or >>folks like paul goes. czar and and others that have been kind of tilting at windmills within the republican caucus, beginning to to 18 matters, so
3:22 pm
tomorrow, may not matter in terms of california. and the balance of congressional congressional delegation or with republicans representing bakersfield. it's a big deal for mike johnson and nationally, so that's what makes that race particularly >>important, all right, we'll be watching professor david mcewan from sonoma state. thank you so much. always a pleasure. >>thank you very much pleasure >>to be with. all right, still ahead, sparking change in their communities. how asian americans are commanding attention from
