create a level playing field. officials say the days of baiting and switching are over. the governor also signed sb 253. it requires more than 5000 businesses in california to reveal how their companies may be contributing to climate change. companies that make more than $1 billion every year will have to report direct and indirect emissions. that includes everything from shipping products, emissions from buildings and stores and business travel companies will have to start to disclose direct emissions by 2026 and indirect emissions by 2027. >> simone biles tacoma. total of four gold medals and a silver medal at the artistic gymnastics world championships. the event just wrapped up in belgium. this was biles first world championship since 2019. she took a two year break to focus on her mental health and just got back into competing this summer. she is the most decorated gymnast of all time. she's won a total of 37 medals across the olympics and world championships. >> taylor swift's new concert

tuesday? tuesday you know. sounds great outside this morning, we have big changes compared to last week. we have cloudier skies, cooler temperatures. it feels a lot more like autumn on the forecast . so we are much cooler the next few days. today and tomorrow, we have the chance of some showers in the north bay as one, one and two, two and three. we have actually a couple of cold fronts we are tracking moving through here over next couple of days and then we'll find drier and warmer weather by midweek. we're dry out there right now. here's live. doppler seven sweeping around the region. it will try and track some showers later on today. here's the cold front just beginning to move onshore near eureka. again with these early season cold fronts, most of the moisture falls apart when it approaches our neck of the woods, but the north bay has a chance of a light shower. here's future weather by 930 this morning, probably cloverdale points to the north and along the coast having a chance of a shower. but watch as this system really falls apart. i don't think it's out of the question. let's say the city even parts of the east bay, could see a quick sprinkle. but for the most part, we're not tracking any organized steady rain throughout the day

punch in our neck of the woods. so we will find some isolated showers today. i think the best chance is in the north bay. we're not even attaching a number on the storm impact scale today. that's how limited in nature these showers are and how light they are outside of the north bay, we're dry. it's just mostly cloudy. and you look at those temperatures today for a lot of us will stay in the 60s, a more mild locations inland and in the south bay. we will go into the 70s. so the three day forecast still a chance of a shower in the north bay tomorrow with another front. and then by wednesday. kumasi, we're brighter. we're drier and we're warmer in the afternoon. all right. >> thank you, drew. new at six. why running might be better for your mental health than certain prescription drugs. >> then the 49 ers flex their muscles and their largest ever win over the cowboys and the shocking death of a local celebrity chef featured on food network shows. but first, this live look outside. it is 557
