fog out there. that marine layer kind of disrupted. and boy, we got a lot of sun earlier yesterday. i think that's going to be the same case once again today. live doppler seven picking up on a little fog on the peninsula, but visibility reduced just a quarter of a mile up in santa rosa. and current numbers are ranging from the low 50s where it's certainly much cooler up in the north bay to 63 in hayward, 59 around belmont there. so this morning, it is five degrees colder in santa rosa. and we are looking at that fog for a couple of hours before we break out into some partly cloudy skies. say 8 or 9:00 and then temperatures climbing through the 70s. not a whole lot of change here. we're looking at 60 to 70s around the bay shore and then the temperatures still a little bit below average, but mostly sunny throughout the afternoon. good morning, jobina. good morning, lisa. >> thank you. hi, everyone. we're starting here with a live look from the richmond-san rafael bridge where we do have a stall reported. it's going to be at westbound 580, just past the toll plaza. so be aware of that . but you're not seeing much of

vindicated. and today is that vindication. >> oakland mayor shengtao released a statement defending her decision to fire armstrong. oakland is still without a permanent police chief since armstrong was fired in february. last night, the city's police commission voted to extend the tenure of interim police chief darren allison until a permanent chief is chosen. they also determined that the search should not exceed another six months. mayor tao has threatened to declare a state of emergency if the commission doesn't give her three candidates by the end of this year. the looming police chief decision comes as oakland residents continue to express concerns about crime. >> this week, several oakland business owners are planning to hold a protest by keeping their shops closed for a day. president of the oakland chinatown chamber of commerce, carl chan, made the announcement during a news conference yesterday. >> we want to send a strong message to our city. enough is enough. things got to be done. >> chan says. between 15 to 20 small business owners are going

to join this strike. it's not clear if they're in chinatown or in other parts of the city. he says those business owners also want to keep focus on the city's failure to secure millions of dollars in crime prevention funds. oakland city leaders confirmed last week dr. events were missing from their proposal for the retail theft prevention grant. when the deadline passed in san francisco, some people believe getting more police officers on the streets is the answer to solving the city's crime issues. today, supervisor matt dorsey is reported set to introduce a plan to make that happen. abc7 news reporter lena howland live at san francisco city hall this morning with how much the plan would cost. lena. >> come on. city supervisor dorsey is asking the city to set aside $30 million a year for the next five years, all with the goal of replenishing the city's chronically understaffed police department. now at today's board of supervisors meeting, dorsey is expected to introduce a proposed charter amendment that

would reestablish a minimum police staffing requirement of 2182 full time officers. right now, they have just under 1500 officers, not including those on short term leave, which means the department is short more than 32% of officers, according to the chronicle. they would have a goal of hitting graduated targets over the next five years before becoming fully staffed by 2028. he says this amendment would come with a pool of funds that could be used for recruitment efforts like advertising or signing bonuses. they're trying to keep up with surrounding agencies like the alameda police department, now offering a $75,000 signing bonus . supervisor dorsey told the chronicle. all we can compete on retirement benefits and salaries and things like that. but we're in a new and different environment. i think this gives the police department an opportunity to buy its way out of this just as other jurisdictions are buying their way out of it. now, the proposal

does not say exactly where this funding would be coming from, but the chronicle is reporting that dorsey would need the support of six other supervisors in order to put this on the march ballot. today's meeting starts at 2:00. live in san francisco, lena howland, abc seven news. lena thank you. >> a vote is expected today on a plan that could displace dozens of families living in rvs in san francisco. the sfmta board will decide whether to limit weekday parking to four hours along winston drive and lake merced boulevard. that's for construction of a bike lane. that's part of a quick build pedestrian and bike safety project. supervisor myrna melgar represents this district. her office says it's been working to find permanent housing solutions for these families. the sfmta board meeting is at one later today. a debate on how to manage the opioid crisis in homelessness on san francisco streets is set for next week. manny's in. the mission is hosting the debate. it's going to be between resident and business owner adam resnick and advocate jennifer breidenbach

passage of a bipartisan bill. it's called melanie's law. the measure from south bay senator dave cortez would give educators the tools necessary to save a child who overdoses on campus. >> the bill mandate daetz. it mandates that our current school safety plans incorporate strategies to prevent opioid overdoses. and by doing so, we're taking a significant stride toward safeguarding the lives of our youth. >> the bill is named after 15 year old melanie ramos, who died of an overdose in a bathroom at a high school in hollywood last year. her mom was at yesterday's event and urged the governor to sign the bill into law. >> a disturbing story from new york is shining the spotlight on the immense toll the fentanyl crisis is taking on our country. this time, boy at a daycare lost his life. jobina police officers, doctors and community activists are now trying to raise awareness about just how quickly the drug can kill. >> yes, reggie, so clearly this can happen anywhere. you all may

remember here in the bay area, a san francisco father says his baby barely survived after ingesting fentanyl at a popular park in the marina district. and that happened back in december. and now a family in new york is grieving after the loss of their child. one year old nicholas died and three other children got seriously sick after a suspected fentanyl poisoning at a home based daycare facility in the bronx. all of the children were taken to the hospital and treated with narcan and opioid reversal drug, which we've talked about extensively here. three of those children survived, but unfortunately, nicholas could not be revived. the boy's father says the family has been given no answers as to how the overdose happened. and police say they found a kilogram of fentanyl in the hall and traces of the drug near where the children had eaten lunch. and beneath their sleeping mats, police have arrested the daycare operator and her husband's cousin, both are charged with murder, a 10th of a size of a fingernail can kill an adult.

>> so imagine what it could do to a child. >> unfortunately, we have seen cases involving kids in our emergency department. the real risk is ingestion. but as you know, kids walk around and are curious and then they put their hands in their mouth and pediatric deaths from opioids are skyrocketing. >> in 2018, 381 children died of opioid poisoning in 2021. that number more than quadrupled nationwide. and drugs from marijuana and to and to heroin as well are being laced with the drug. law enforcement is also dealing with rainbow fentanyl. they say it's fentanyl made to look like candy, to target children and young people. kumasi that's terrible. >> thank you. jobina a state law aimed to protect minors online has been blocked by a federal judge. >> the law would limit the information companies could get from users under the age of 18, and it would also require businesses to report the state to the state on any product that

they offer that could be used by minors. this was set to take effect next year, but a us district judge in san jose said it interferes with the company's freedom of speech. in a ruling, they wrote that the state has no right to force private companies to act as government censors is keeping drivers behind the wheel of an autonomous trucks. that's the goal of a rally happening in san mento today. teamsters union members are demanding governor newsom sign assembly bill 316. that would require a human trained human operator to be inside self-driving vehicles that weigh more than 10,000 pounds. a rally in la yesterday brought out union leaders who say thousands of jobs are at risk. nobody is going to make us pick between innovation and good jobs and health and safety. >> well, guess what? we want it all for autonomous vehicle companies are arguing that self-driving trucks would increase safety on the roads. >> according to those numbers from the companies, there were

more than 5700 fatal truck crashes in 2021. good tuesday morning to you. >> 654 the official sunrise lot going on in the pacific, but but we're going to stay quiet. we will see a system visit us wednesday night into thursday. getting to that in just a moment. 56 in sunnyvale. good morning mountain view, it is 55. numbers are cooler up in the north bay with some fog, 51 up by santa rosa. it is in the upper 50s half moon bay and from our roof camera it is cloudy but the fog will be breaking up. so we'll look for the dense fog at the coast then partly cloudy for the rest of the morning hours. minor fluctuations in the temperatures this week with the gusty winds coming into play wednesday night into thursday, elevating our fire danger. so a system dropping out of the north come wednesday night to the east of us is going to bring up those northerly winds. so you can see it right there. so from sacramento to the sierra nevada , there, higher elevations of the north and east bay will be a little bit on the breezy side,

not enough to bring us a fire weather watch, but still enough to heighten our fire danger. so we'll keep that in mind. as for today, little change out there. 80 in concord, 74. in fremont, 78. in san jose. and the accuweather seven day forecast out looking at a couple degrees up tomorrow down a few on thursday fall arrives on friday with pleasant numbers right into the weekend back to you. thanks lisa. >> a new trend has couple mixing romance couples mixing romance and finance. coming up, we'll tell you about money daetz and x, formerly known as twitter, could soon be going behind a paywall. >> why owner elon musk says a move would help with bots. >> and the new feature is available on your iphone this morning. we made it! bmo has arrived. hello? you said it. hello to more ways to save money, grow your wealth, grow your business. just what we needed, another big bank. not so fast. how many banks do you know that reward you for saving every month? he's got a good point. did i mention bmo has more fee-free atms

techcrunch's disrupt sf 2023 kicks off at moscone center and the city is hoping to capitalize on this packed schedule of major conferences. the event starts in just a few hours at 8 a.m. the big focus for disrupt sf will include topics on startups, tech trends and artificial intelligence. nba champ shaquille o'neal. instagram co-founder kevin systrom will be headline speakers tech experts tell abc7 news the conference will bolster the city's advancement in technology. >> pg just having around 10,000 people in that area talking about, you know, technology at san francisco in person is really a very good sign for san francisco. and it's basically just confirming that we are the ground zero for new technologies . >> the asia-pacific economic cooperation conference, apec for short is next up for the city. it happens in november and the president is going to be a host. >> all right. so the hype over the barbie movie continues. we saw this. it found its way into the giant clubhouse photos of

the teen that posted on social media show the rookie players dressed up as kins. the caption reads, k, can you feel the energy? so apparently when the rookies dress up in costumes like this, it's an mlb tradition in for an away game toward the end of the season. >> i mean lisa picked it as her most important person in the world and you want so some help, i have to admit. and if you don't know what we're talking about, watch abc seven and seven. yeah, that's cute though, right? >> it was really cute. okay. okay all right. bringing it for a nice tuesday. in fact, we're going to see very little change. if you liked our weather the past couple of days. i wish i could mix it up. but even into the weekend, when temperatures are going to get a little warmer, it's not that big of a change. so live doppler seven right now. we do have an elevated fire danger that is a concern that we need to talk about for wednesday into thursday. but other than that, low clouds and fog, not really totally solid across the bay

area, but you can see it there from pacifica to half moon bay up towards santa rosa. visibility down to a quarter of a mile, low 60s hayward into fremont and san jose. but the pattern remains the same. the fog wants to make its way inland, then it pulls back, bringing mostly sunny skies into wednesday. not quite as solid as a deck. then we get more sunshine on and then into thursday. this is the system riding over into the sierra nevada that is going to kick up the north and easterly winds wednesday night into thursday. so far, they look to be maybe 30 to 40 miles an hour. so that's certainly strong. everything is totally dried out in the bay area. so we need to watch that. but as for temperatures, we're going to stay really where we have been. low 80s is the average. and notice in livermore we're going to stay in the upper 70s to near 80. even today. so in the bay shore area, 74 in fremont, pleasant little breezy, 77 san rafael and on the coast low 60s. yeah, i kind of dare you to try to pick out the day

that stands out because really they're just pleasant with afternoon sun, some breezy winds and morning fog. oh, beautiful. >> thank you, lisa. hi, everyone. so for the most part, things are looking nice on your commute so far this morning. so we're going to start here with mass transit showing you that bart, muni and ace are all on time right now. our live camera here, oh, it looks a little jumpy, but this is our san jose 87 camera where traffic is moving even though our camera doesn't appear to be so. we'll look if we can move that along. okay. the san mateo bridge here, everything is off the limit as well. where you see those tail lights or people traveling towards the peninsula. and then we will end with a look at our drive times, because for the most part, it's smooth. and yes, it proves to be the case. green across the board. reggie and kumasi, thanks, jobina. >> coming up, the seven things to know this morning, plus bay area economics, including new data revealing a major moneymaker in the east bay. >> and the one

that led to the mayor firing him earlier this year. >> number two, if you want to see more officers on the streets of san francisco, it's going to take $30 million a year. so that is what supervisor matt dorsey is saying, telling the chronicle something needs to be done to replenish the city's chronically understaffed police department. the money could be used for signing bonuses or other recruitment efforts. >> number three, san francisco based instacart going public today. it's going to be traded on the nasdaq under the ticker symbol cart. >> number four, oakland based clorox is warning of product shortages after a cyber attack. the company believes the attack has been contained, but operations are slow as the it infrastructure is repaired. >> number five, partly to mostly cloudy skies to start out. then 60s and 70s across the coast. the bay, a few low 80s inland. >> number six, for the most part, your commute is looking great this morning. we're starting here to show you a live picture from walnut creek and 680 where everything is at the limit.

>> number seven, macy's saying it's planning to hire about 38,000 full and part time workers for the holiday season. but that is down a bit from last year. and about half as many positions as 2021. a new study released by the port of oakland shows the port and its entities remain an economic force in the region and a source of good paying jobs. the study found job growth related to the port has grown by 14% since the last report, which was five years ago. representing nearly 100,000 jobs created in the region. the port is the fifth largest employer in the region and the second largest in oakland. it contributes $970 million in state and local taxes, and it provides a total economic value of $174 billion to the region. local officials say the port is the engine that drives the east bay economy. >> we have found that you are standing side by side with us in promoting a prosperous and a beneficial future for our area.

>> that same study found that businesses at oakland international airport, which is a part of the port, have returned to nearly pre-pandemic levels. >> i didn't think i'd be talking about toilet paper today, but here we are. apparently, the city of san francisco spends a lot on it. according to a new report by mission local in 2011, the city spent an estimated $811,000 on toilet paper. but by 2017, that number went all the way up to 1.2 million bucks. this year, it looks like they're using less. data from the city shows they spent just $550,000 on toilet paper for the first six months of the year. and that's that on that ap. apparently, there's a hot new trend that involves dressing up, going out, having a romantic dinner and then jumping right into the excel sheets. date doesn't seem all that romantic, but i guess couples are now using dates as a chance to discuss their finances. the

idea is to carve out time for the sort of conversations couples often dread by making it an event to look forward to. advisors and relationship counselors say couples who go on regular money dates can better manage their spending, savings and investing, since disagreements over money can strain marriages. having regular , open discussions about financial decisions in a fun and intimate way can help address any problems before they become a source of resentment. this seems like a very made up trend to me, but wow, you know, you know, sometimes we do stories that people like wish were happening but aren't actually happening. i'm going to put that in that category. >> yeah. yes. well, it's part of our efforts here to build a better bay area to abc7. we're always looking for people that are making a difference in their communities. so i recently went to old school cafe. it's an at risk youth run supper club in san francisco that provides job training and support.

>> we are an international soul food restaurant. >> happy hour, dinner, live entertainment. we also do catering and private events. >> just as the food component. but it's also the fact that you can mentor and nurture to a group of youth. >> the old school is targeted for at risk youth, meaning youth that have been of course, formerly incarcerated, going through foster homes. so old school is here to break up that cycle. they could find a way to earn money legally and in a safe way. >> it was really about how do we showcase all that these young people can do and who they are instead of only looking at them for the worst thing they've ever done. >> i think it's really important to just have community in general. there's always a place for somebody and being here has shown me that. >> and that was just a little quick snippet of what you can see because the full story will air on our streaming newscast. abc7 at seven that starts here at 7 a.m. on the abc seven. bay

area app. but have you all been before? >> no, i'm ready to go. >> okay, let me tell you, you will love the greens. they hit. i love the greens. >> they hit when you said soul food. i'm like, they're yes. >> and it's like soul food, but also some twists on it, too, because all of the youth come from all over. so as ages 16 to 22, some formerly incarcerated, some coming just from maybe some trying backgrounds and teresa, the woman that founded it many years ago at this point, used to be a correctional officer. and she just saw the recidivism rate and was like, you know, the big thing that i'm seeing is that these kids don't have money and they don't have money because they don't have jobs. so if we can give them some tools, some training and maybe they like this and they stay in the restaurant industry or maybe they go and do something totally different afterwards, which has been the case. but the food is great and the people are really awesome. so i'm happy for them and we just want to show them some love. yeah yeah. >> and working in a restaurant. >> yeah. >> once you do that and you survive that, you survive almost anything, you know, that's the

consistent feedback i've been hearing because some do the kitchen, some do the serving. >> and what's also really cool is that none of them have cooking backgrounds or anything. so chef eddie is like, you know , it's a training ground here and if something gets burned, that's cool. we're just going to do it again. we're going to do it again. >> so yeah. thank you. >> jobina yeah, thank you to the whole story. yeah, it's not even ordering yet, but the united states postal service is already looking to the winter holidays coming up at 530, the kick the kick off of operation santa and protesters ready when the prime minister of israel made a visit here in the bay area. >> their calls for democracy in israel and what he said about it during his meeti

hour winds keeping the city in the upper 60s with plenty of sun and we even get some sun here at the coast. so it's been nice. we'll let you know if we mix it up at all. we're getting close to the weekend, but before that, we have some breezy offshore winds to detail for you throughout the middle of the week. jobina. >> thank you, lisa. good morning, everybody. so we do have a wind advisory for the antioch bridge, but as far as the golden gate bridge, golden gate bridge, you are in good shape, even though it does look like we're seeing some fog blowing through this area. we'll see how things turn out once the sun comes up in the south bay. check this out. san jose and 280, incredibly light right now. no blocking issues. i of course, we'll let you know if that changes. and the commute for our super commuters tracy to dublin has increased just a little bit. you're at 41 minutes. everything else on time. >> thank you, jobina. last night oakland's police commission voted to extend the tenure of interim police chief darren allison until a permanent chief is chosen. they also determined that the search should not exceed another six months. mayor

shengtao has threatened to declare state of emergency if the commission doesn't give her three candidates by the end of the year. oakland is still without a permanent police chief since leronne armstrong was fired in february, that vote by the police commission came just hours after the former police chief made a public demand for his job back. an independent investigation into armstrong's firing found that he should not have been terminated. and abc7 news reporter gloria rodriguez joins us live in the newsroom with reaction to the report and what comes next. >> good morning, reggie. that report is largely in favor of former oakland police chief laurent armstrong. he is saying this is clear vindication that he wants his job back, his supporters are calling on mayor shengtao to reinstate him. a new 55 page audit criticized the report that led to the termination of chief armstrong earlier this year after allegations that he mishandled misconduct within the department. the report calls for the city to consider his reinstatement and some community leaders believe that oakland

should bring him back. >> chief armstrong, he knows oakland. you know, he has seen many years of our experience when it comes to public safety. he was part of the cease fire, the gang, the gang injunction and dealing with many other law enforcement actions that we currently need today. >> everybody makes mistakes. that's why they put erasers on the back of pencils. point of it is to say that she made a mistake and ask him to come back, maybe even apologize. >> that is bishop bob jackson of acts full gospel church, who believes the mayor made a mistake and can do it. mayor shengtao released a statement saying while the law prevents me from publicly discussing the details of the report, neither my administration nor the federal court agreed with mr. armstrong that the findings could be written off as mistakes. oakland needs leaders , including at opd, who will stand up and make tough decisions in the name of

accountability and community trust by immediately and prematurely standing up for himself personally. mr. armstrong failed to stand up for accountability at opd and at the next oakland police commission meeting. they will add a recommendation to reinstate the former chief or include him among the name of finalists. armstrong's attorney has reached out to city officials about being reinstated and several people say that legal action could be taken against the city if the chief is not re reinstated. reggie. >> all right. thanks so much. was it an accident or intentional? there's a war of words in oakland over the city, missing. the deadline to get a critical grant to help fight crime. the state just awarded dozens of cities and counties with millions of dollars to help crack down on organized retail crime. as we've been reporting, oakland got nothing. state officials say the city blamed their late application on a technical issue. now, members of the naacp are suggesting that it

might have actually been intentional, a decision not not to seek the funds. >> why would they not seek the funds? because the money was going to crime prevention through oakland police department. and there are people in town who would prefer that that money go to social programs . >> i'm infuriated and frustrated that, you know, city staff had missed the deadline, but to assume and put out false information that somehow we didn't want to apply for it, that's that's utter bs. it is absolutely not true at all. the mayor called it a personnel issue and said that there will be consequences as more money, millions of dollars actually, that's what one san francisco supervisor says is needed to help boost the city's police force in today, he is set to unveil the plan to improve recruitment. abc7 news reporter lena howland live at san francisco city hall with how

much the plan is going to cost. lena carmassi in order to help stay competitive in the bay area market and become fully staffed, city officials say they need more money for things like advertising and signing bonuses, but it's going to cost them. >> supervisor matt dorsey is asking the city to set aside $30 million a year for the next five years. at today's board of supervisors meeting, the chronicle says dorsey is expected to introduce a proposed charter amendment that would reestablish a minimum police staffing requirement of 2182 full time officers. right now, they have just under 1500 officers, not including those on short term leave, which means that the department is facing an officer shortage of more than 32% of their police force. so they're trying to keep up with surrounding agencies like the alameda police department now offering a $75,000 signing bonus just to get in the door.

supervisor dorsey told the chronicle, we can compete on retirement benefits and salaries and things like that, but we're in a new and different environment. i think this gives the police department an opportunity to buy its way out of this just as other jurisdictions are buying their way out of it. dorsey told the chronicle that he would like to see the department fully staffed by 2028, but he will need the support of six supervisors in order to put this on the ballot in march. live in san francisco, lena howland, abc seven news. >> lena, thank you. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is getting ready to address the un general assembly and meet with president biden in new york yesterday. protesters gathered all over the bay area as he paid a visit here. it was netanyahu's first visit since his new government was formed about nine months ago. shame shame, shame! >> shame, shame! >> netanyahu's netanyahu's visit to the bay area comes amid rising unrest in israel. >> that's over his effort to weaken the power of the

judiciary by giving elected lawmakers greater autonomy from unelected judges. critics say it's making the government unaccountable. yesterday, netanyahu met with several silicon valley leaders, including elon musk. he spoke about his support for democracy during a talk at tesla headquarters. >> what's a good opportunity to tell people who are protesting israel was, is and will always be a robust democracy? tsay elon musk says he got flak for hosting the talk, including from tesla employees is new this morning. >> the five americans released from iran yesterday are back on us soil jobina this deal to get them home is really causing controversy for the biden administration. yeah. >> coomassie so those americans touched down in washington dc earlier this morning. video shows them getting off a jet after a long journey from iran to qatar and back to america where they were freed as part of a wider deal that includes the us unfreezing $6 million in iranian funds. republicans call it a ransom payment and war in

iran will use the money to fund terrorism. iran's president has said iran will use the $6 billion. however it sees fit. but the biden administration insists the us officials will approve each transaction in any reasonable person would conclude that tehran is going to learn from this lesson that there is an incentive to taking more americans wrongfully and using that to get payments, to get relief from sanctions. the white house says this deal does not signal any change in relations with iran and iran's president is scheduled to speak today at the un. so we will continue to watch that. coomassie. >> thank you, jobina former president donald trump says he will be skipping the second republican debate in southern california next week. instead he is planning a primetime speech from detroit. the republican frontrunner says his speech will be delivered to a crowd of current and former union members. his announcement comes as the united auto workers union

enters its fourth day of strikes. two major national polls this week showed trump with 60% support among republican primary voters. president joe biden's campaign released a written statement responding to trump's announcement. it called out the former president's anti-union policies. the statement says donald trump is going to michigan next week to lie to michigan workers and pretend he didn't spend his entire failed presidency selling them out at every turn. >> governor newsom has faced relentless questions about whether he is going to challenge president biden or if he is going to be as a vp on the ticket. so this was his answer last night on cnn. >> you and vice president kamala harris go way back. you say that you came up together in san francisco, knew each other. you were in politics before you were in politics. i'm sure you saw that former speaker, speaker emerita, nancy pelosi, she heaped praise on kamala harris. but she declined to say whether or not she thought that the vice president is the best person to

be on the ticket with joe biden in 2024. do you? of course she is biden harris administration masterclass in terms of performance, bipartisan deals on infrastructure, a bipartisan deals on guns and debt ceiling, on the chips and science. she's the best choice. >> i mean by definition if i think this administration the last two and two and a half years been one of the most outstanding administrations the last few decades, and she's a member of that administration, she gets to lay and claim credit to a lot of that success. the answer is absolutely. the governor, they're showing support for kamala harris, seemingly pushing down any speculation that he's eyeing the role of vice president. >> when asked about a presidential run in the future, he claims he's never even given it a thought saying, quote, no, i'm not that guy. i'm just not. >> still ahead, returned to the negotiation table. writers in hollywood preparing to meet with studios for the first time since last month. plus country bear jamboree, but make it real, an

actual bear visits the magic kingdom in walt disney world and shuts part of it down for a time. >> but first, we'll check on the weather with lisa. >> all righty. good morning to you. tuesday morning. and looking at some patchy fog that is going to give way to a lot of sun. you can see the fog from pacifica to half moon bay, 56 there in belmont. and there is less than a quarter mile visibility. only 51 santa rosa. we're watching some breezy winds that will bring elevated fire danger come wednesday night into thursday. the mountains of the north and the east bay. so this is where things get a little bit dicey because of course, this is september when we get those dry offshore winds. it's a quick event. we're not expecting an excess of 40 miles an hour, but somewhere between 30 and 40 miles an hour. and then another stronger system looking like monday and tuesday. it could bring a little bit of precip our way. we'll wait and see. it's way out. we have to iron out the details. but as we get into late in the weekend, we're still enjoying some pretty nice weather. but this is what

happens monday, september 25th. so things getting active in the pacific and looking at some changes as we get towards the end of the workweek. first with that offshore flow as for today, it's going to be pleasant. we'll have the sea breeze, the winds out of the west. so mid 60s downtown, about 70 in oakland, upper 70s in santa rosa and looking at about 80 today, inland. so we have had this pattern in place and it's going to stay with us for the next several days before we get those breezy winds come the middle of the week. and that is still the final days of summer. friday we usher in fall and the weekend looks pleasant, but we'll be watching for perhaps some acvity into the following

a good old fashioned cold front, 80in los to 75. and sunnyvale today, a sunny afternoon, beautiful day on the way, 71 san mateo looking at 73 in mountain view. so those 60s remain. but we'll get some sun at our beaches mid 60s downtown. so about four degrees shy of average upper 70s in santa rosa. this is about 5 to 6 degrees cooler than you should be. so you're certainly not where we would be. but this summer has been cool, hasn't it? 70 in oakland. so you would expect the warmth, the offshore winds. we are going to get just a little bit of that. so heads up, if you're in the upper elevations of the east bay, the north bay, as we get into tomorrow night into thursday. but as for today, 80 in concord, 79 in pleasanton. so pretty nice out there. the accuweather seven day forecast a quiet few days and then we get those breezy offshore winds for wednesday night into thursday looking at fall arriving on friday bit of a warming trend before we could see some bigger changes next week. good morning , jobina. >> good morning, lisa. thank you. hi everyone. we're
