and the smoke out to the east, but we still have some smoke over the ocean. that's why the hazy conditions will stick around. highs below average in san francisco, 63, oakland, 67, san jose, 75, and our warmest spots will be in the 80's. overnight lows with the cloud cover pushing and once again, it will be mostly in the upper 50's around the bay, 57 in oakland and san mateo, city of san francisco as well and some cooler spots in the north bay, coverdell and santa rosa at 51 degrees. here's a look at the week ahead. air quality will improve tonight into tomorrow, but get ready for a big warm up. in livermore, your average is 88 and look at thursday and friday. at the end of this week, temperatures will heat up as high pressure builds inland. here's that seven-day forecast. a hazy start today,

the expenses. >> the spending started four months after pg&e committed the crime that sparked the campfire, destroying the town of paradise and killing 84 people. pg&e filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection because it said it couldn't pay the cost of the damage. in february 2019, a team of investment bankers boarded flights at taxpayer expense to help the governor's office find a way to help pg&e turn its finances around. payment records show a single investment banker at financial firm guggenheim buildm buildm taxpayers $9,000 of air travel in the first 10 days of the firm's cont's cont governor newsom's office. we want to know if he flew first class, but our questions were not answered about that. the financial office has no receipts of flight records to backup the charges for any of

guggenheim's travel expenses, which totaled close to $190,000 over seven months. almost 80,000 of that was air travel, a full $50,000 of expenses were not itemized at all. more than 21 grand on hotels and thousands of dollars on meals and other expenses. receipts don't exist for any of it. guggenheim's investment bankers participate in the crafting of a new state law that gave pg&e unofficial state safety certificate and an access to a 21 billion dollar insurance funds to protect the company from the cost of future wildfires it causes. the plan offends some of the people whose loved ones died in the felonies pg&e committed. >> i don't know why this is allowed. that they get this safety certificate and they get to set up the rules. they don't benefit anybody but themselves. >> the governor's press office portrays newsom's response

as "tough" on pg&e. they read in a statement, "the governor was absolutely correct in ensuring california had the best possible representation to take on pg&e's legal team and financial team." if you go to firepower money.com, this is our latest investigation into pg&e's wildfires, in the third year running. you'll also find the spending records we just reported so you can see the facts for yourself. liz: new more chevy bolts are being recalled because of a battery problem that could cause a fire. this adds on to a previous recall of 69,000 older bolts. general motors they owners should limit charging to 98% of

it's my life and this is my journey. i've found a way to do things differently with ocrevus, an infusion treatment that's 2-times-a-year. for adults with relapsing or primary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis, ocrevus is proven effective in reducing relapses in rms and slowing disability progression in rms and ppms. don't take ocrevus if you've had a life-threatening allergic reaction to it, or have hepatitis b. tell your doctor about vaccinations or if you've had hep b, as it could come back. a common side effect of ocrevus is infusion reactions, and some may require hospitalization. it can increase your risk of infections, which can be serious, and may decrease certain types of immunoglobulins. while pml was not reported in clinical trials, it could happen. an increased risk of cancer, including breast cancer, may exist. sorry, ms. you don't get to control every part of me ms can't own us. ask your doctor about two-times-a-year ocrevus.
