12:36 pm
provoke a violent reaction. and what i saw from our security detail was himself identified himself as a police officer verbally asking the individual to step back a couple of feet because he was very close to may. and then he will. my security detail was assaulted multiple times. and so it did happen quickly. but he did his best to go through those de-escalation steps. and even despite being repeatedly hit in the head you know, did not use force. he he really kept the situation under control as best as he possibly could at risk to himself. >> do you feel like you need a second security guard because some believe was the police officers association was saying the mayor needs more than one officer. >> you know, that's really a security protocol that is determined by our police chief, the department of the professionals who decide how to keep elected officials in san jose safe. that's their job. i'm not going to question

12:39 pm
where we have to keep everybody safe. but we want people to be able to celebrate. and i appreciate that. our police department heard complaints, frankly, from the committee last year and have gone above and beyond this year in communicating exactly what the plan is. so people know what to expect. and i hope everybody is able to celebrate safely this year. >> and since you taking on this new role here in the city trying to help the unhoused has been a big priority for you. the latest project at the salvation army is promising over 100 homes. we're wondering how that projects going. and if you think that this is the solution and are these interim housing projects? providing you the success that you want to see in the city to helping people who live on the streets. >> yeah. mean, all of the above approach in the last week i've been doing opening of a new affordable housing development, a sober living environment and expansion of a sober living environment with the salvation army and some tiny homes that were opening up down in south san jose on private land. we need to keep

12:47 pm
expected rain. the parade planning committee says the weather what creates unsafe conditions. so sunday's festival, though, is still scheduled as planned. the parade is going to be postponed until september all right. let's talk about that rain a little bit more and see what's going on in the weather department with a live look outside at a sunny shot at the golden gate bridge. beautiful out there today. it's going to look a lot different this time tomorrow. yeah, crutcher to mayo is not going to be a whole lot of fun outside. to myers to be looking pretty good. >> you can see what's happening here. are high pressure still here. it's just kind of migrated further offshore. and then we look at our low pressure that has started to press and that's where we're going to start to see the action. that brings us some rain ahead of that front as it tracks through you can see those clouds and even a little moisture. well to the north of us at the moment, which means we have a beautiful day on tap today. looking out for above average temperatures, gorgeous blue skies. you know, the drill and a little bit of a breeze out there. in fact, is we look here at the golden gate. you can see a little bit of that breeze at the flag blowing there on the right side of your screen. temperatures pretty nice here. san francisco about 58. 64 in
12:48 pm
oakland, 69 in san jose. but we're 70's livermore, concord, santa rosa, half moon bay sitting in the mid-fifties, ok? so here's what's going to go down today. we're still under the influence of that high pressure, sunshine and warm temperatures. but there's the front ahead of the front will have showers behind the front. very and i do mean very cool air rushing in behind it. this is a classic low pressure system in a frontal passage and it means we get quite a cool down. so let's talk this through. we go through and we get to tonight. we start to see some clouds showing up the overnight hours. we've got the showers starting roll in the north bay. that's about 05:00am. so when we wake up tomorrow morning, we've got some of these heavier downpours are going to making their way through the bay area about a 10 to 20% chance of one of them popping into a thunderstorm celso keeping iran did eye out for that. that's about noon time. so the afternoon things do start to lighten up. but remember counter clockwise circulation. so we see as this pulls away, it kind of throws a few little blips on the radar as it departs. but i think by the early afternoon we'll start to see things improve a bit. this is how much rain we're looking
12:49 pm
out for. so it's pretty significant between a half an inch and an inch of rain could be some higher totals up at at the mountains of our peaks like in the santa cruz mountains, north bay mountains. i want to talk about the temperature drop and taking nap and as an example, 75 that your average high today will get about their right about 76 degrees. but the high tomorrow, the highs in the 50's. now check this out below from today. the higher going to be, you know, a couple degrees from each other. now, notice you do see a rather rapid rise. we are going to see all of this turnaround after we get past this frontal passage and then we'll see that high pressure that's still out in the pacific. actually move back into place and allow us to warm up. so take a look at your extended forecast today. we'll see the clouds move in later at the rain is tomorrow. the very chilly temperatures accompany it. we get to cinco de mayo. we get the sunshine back, but we're still going to be cool on your sunday, but no problem if you're going to be outside for activities starting to warm up a bit on monday. but we really rocket up as we get into wednesday and thursday and up way back above average again with lots of sunshine. by the time we get to the end of next week. back to you. all right. thank
