>> those fog fingers, lawrence, to get longer. yeah. stretching well onshore right now. they're going all the way inland overnight. i kind of interesting to see how the season works. not only here but around the world. of course, we watch things calm down here. other parts of the world both starts to get very, very active. in fact, today is the beginning of the eastern pacific hurricane season and we're already seeing things getting active out there right now. no or canes just yet. but there's about a 40% chance that we might see a little tropical disturbance develop there. you can see panama, salvador, mexico, not too far away, but things are going to be heating up now as the waters get warmer. we're going to be tracking some majo hurricanes as we head throughout the season. so somethi twatch out for their locally. what we've got the beautiful sierra nevada looking good toward half dome, a lots of sunshine there right now, but not far away. we've got some strong storms. in fact, starting to see some lightning strikes now just south 70 there you can see shaver lake, some thunderstorms begin to pop up again. and if you're traveling in that direction, really got to watch out the taller and not bad at all. you're just
5:38 pm
seeing some snow capped mountains, but dry conditions. no, a thunderstorm activity there. if you're headed that direction, nothing but sunshine coming your way with temperatures in the 70's. so very comfortable in the high sierra about at least in the tahoe area. but further south got to watch out. if you're headed for south. watch the forecast here now as we head through time and you watch each afternoon, we get these pop-up thunderstorms just like today. again, likely see it again for tomorrow. i think things really probably pick up as we get into all the weekend. so if you've got some camping plans may be headed toward the south. the tahoe area, maybe down toward mammoth lakes, trees, 70, be very careful. likely to see some big time thunderstorms, especially the afternoons throughout the weekend. thank you, lawrence. >> san francisco, mayor london breed dropping out of next week's mayoral debate hosted by nonprofit together as seth breed confirmed her participation before several changes to the schedule and format were made ceo of together sf releasing a statement to kron 4 saying, quote, it is unfortunate for san francisco voters that mayor breed has pulled out of
5:39 pm
our debate and chosen to out ally herself with another longtime political incumbent. aaron peskin, who also has controlled the direction of our city for many years. they went on to say it is telling that the mayor, like supervisor peskin, have chosen to try and tarnish the reputation of together instead of joining the other candidates and explaining why our 100,000 community members, all san francisco voters should trust them to run the city for the next 4 years. and quote, staff will be hosting the debate with other confirmed candidates on monday. may 20th. it is official now president biden and former president trump will be facing off in to debate stage showdowns. one is set for june. the other for september kron four's catherine heenan is in the newsroom now with reaction from our political analyst catherine, we are talking about 2 candidates. we already know plenty about, but debates can sway some voters.
5:40 pm
>> and then a tight election that could mean a lot. this all began with a fiery social media post. >> the sense that he had showed up for debate now he's acting like you want to debate me again. what makes my day joe biden taunting donald trump. trump responded with a post in whikh he called biden worst debate or ever saying let's get ready to rumble. aside from all the big talk from both sides, analysts say both candidates need the debates by denise these debates. the recent new york times poll >> shows him down significantly in the battleground states. and who needs to get traction that pulls basically the same it was 6 months ago. so he obviously needs to get traction. and for trump, he's thinking he can deliver a knockout blow because people will the watching biden money. biden will be able to perform so it could be very interesting and probably more
5:41 pm
important to biden, then the trump. but if you're in the biden you're pushing donald the former president. >> because the former president has been talking joe biden someone who doesn't want to debate that. he's scared that he's checking to do this. but at the same time, he's not capable of doing that. that's been kind of the elephant in the room, if you will. and so the biden team believes they want to call the former president on donald trump himself. he wants to move the campaign out of the courtroom. it's unclear what things look like at that point. and he wants to take on joe biden. the difficulty there is that you're speaking to voters who were not sure if they're going to show up because the voters that decide this election are in those proverbial swing states that the protocol people are always talking about and then may not paying attention when they'd rather be thinking about their summer vacation plans. biden performed well at the state of the union. so is donald trump blowing it by setting expectations of the biden debate performance so low?
5:42 pm
>> tom del beccaro is not so sure i would look to the state of the union model that is essentially reading a speech and even when he live at the state of the union, he didn't do that. well, he doesn't add live. well. >> he has twice said that inflation is at 9% when he came in. it was at 1.8. if he does similar things while he's in an unscripted debate without cue cards, he could be ina lot of trouble. >> meantime, the debates are happening a lot earlier than usual and could set the tone for a dramatic lead up to this. this is striking because we believe that this will be a heavily polarize negative race by by a set of candidates that people know a lot about aren't a lot of undecided voters so can deter or move people if you will position one way or another. that is important. we do see that with debates. >> meantime, rfk junior, the
5:43 pm
independent candidate is arguing he can still qualify and participate in the debates. the biden campaign, however, has agreed only 2 to one on one debate. so it's not clear yet, but that could really shut the door on any third-party participation. grant and noelle, catherine, thank you. >> the big winter snowpack is making a difference in the sierra. the sun. the summer activity making a comeback activity making a comeback this year. network is no network for business.
