6:19 am
as quickly. and then we will have added cloud cover that will help with the overnight lows, but that also will bring some sprinkles and eventually some rain on monday. potential for more rain for the end of the week. so a system offshore pushing to the north. it's the one behind that. that will bring us a little bit of rain and rainfall amounts are looking better than what we've seen with past systems, but hopefully enough to get everyone a little bit of a tip in the rain gauge there, instead of how it usually goes with more in the north bay and practically nothing elsewhere. 51 is the mildest reading in san francisco, 48 in hayward. so the bay shore is in the 40s, but that 39 at the coast awfully cold. and from our sutro tower camera already light out there with 34 in petaluma, 36 santa rosa. those longer nights, the radiational cooling and that chilly 37 by the delta 40 in livermore. so our forecast headlines for the week ahead looking at more cloud cover a

6:35 am
>> the purpose there is to just give consumers and homeowners some breathing room to kind of to recover and to make sure that they have that peace of mind that their insurance policies are still there. >> but that would not apply to anyone trying to get new insurance in these areas. companies have already stopped issuing new policies at this point. >> we're getting moratoriums. obviously, insurance carriers are closing those zip codes, so we can't do any new business there. so if somebody is buying a new home, that's going to cause them some major grief. >> i asked the department of insurance today what should homeowners do to prepare in case they do have to evacuate? >> take an inventory of things in your home. things like different possessions, whether they be furniture, jewelry, other types of things, and even if possible, if you're able to take a video record of this. >> over the last two years, a number of insurers have left the state. californians are already dealing with high premiums, and now they could go even higher. >> insurance companies are being pummeled with these losses, these natural disaster losses and they're in business to make

educators in california are wondering what schools might look like under a trump administration. abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey looks at what state leaders are now saying, as all candidates do, president elect donald trump made many promises throughout his campaign, including, i want to close up the department of education, move education back to the states. >> now that he's been reelected, trump may try to put this into action, but california state superintendent tony thurmond and other leaders are not waiting to protect the students. >> we are ready for california versus trump round two. >> we are going to champion the line that defends our most need, and we call on president elect trump and the members of congress to reaffirm their commitment to public education. >> dismantling the department of education could impact programs like title one that help educate children from low income families. an idea for students with disabilities, including special education. california would also lose federal funding
6:38 am
without the doe. nearly $8 billion lost for students and educators like jeff freitas. >> our messaging was to provide funding, which is what we do provide a safe and welcoming environment for all students. and now that's under attack by the president elect. >> trump supports school choice programs and content restrictions on curriculum like critical race theory, and he wants to move the power over education from the federal level to the state level. uc santa cruz professor nolan higdon says trump has not made a plan fully clear, but this follows decades old republican ideals that democracy works best when it's local. the federal government is a necessary evil, as so many conservatives have often called it, where they think government should just do select things, and we should keep government as small as possible. >> and they think something like the department of education is overstepping where the government should be. >> trump cannot act alone on this. it would take an act of congress to remove the doe. thurmond says he's already started to reach out to representatives to support public education. and should the
6:39 am
worst happen, he would sponsor legislation to make up for billions lost in funding that would call on the california state legislature and the governor to backfill that funding to preserve and protect that funding for the students of california so they can get the education. thurmond says they all deserve. dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> californians voted on ten statewide propositions, and so far, half of them have passed. they include prop two, the $10 billion bond for public schools. prop three about marriage rights protections. prop four, the $10 billion bond that is climate focused. prop 35, which provides permanent funding to medi-cal and by the widest margin, prop 36 increased sentencing for certain drug and theft crimes. prop five to lower the local approval threshold and prop six to ban forced inmate labor are all likely to fail. two props are too close to call. that
6:40 am
includes prop 32 to raise the minimum wage. it's at 52 to 48% against. also nearly tied prop 34. the revenge initiative, which targeted the aids foundation. it's 51 to 49% in favor. now, one proposition has failed prop 33, which would have expanded local rent control. a reminder for all the election results for races across the bay and the country, you can head to our website, abc seven news.com/elections. still ahead this morning, the purchase of the oakland coliseum. why? a group of investors say they are withholding payment. and we'll take you outside for a live look from our pier 39 camera. you see the beautiful sunrise this morning and just a few sleepy sea lions there in the back. it's 639

6:48 am
want to focus on the one we're pretty sure of, and that's that level one on monday, what have you. here from pier 39, you can see a few sea lions there in the distance, 51 downtown is 48 and hayward 47, in san jose and a few clouds with some very light winds, the golden gate bridge and with the clear sky and dry air mass in place, pretty easy to drop off into the 30s again. petaluma just last hour was down to freezing. 36. santa rosa 37, fairfield, 40, in napa and livermore. and our last stop here from our roof camera with the sun there. so a few more clouds and sprinkles over the weekend, but we'll get in a good deal of sun each day. wet and breezy for monday. the holiday, veteran's day, and then by the middle of the week, still some opportunities for rain. some drizzle at the coast and temperatures back into the 60s. our level one system. it arrives on monday after the morning commute. if you're working light to moderate rain, the slippery roads, the winds will increase from breezy to gusty. they'll be light over the weekend and as we
6:49 am
go through your afternoon, this is 1:00. plenty of sun. we'll call it partly cloudy, then for the evening hours. those clouds, perhaps keeping the temperatures in the upper 30s to near 40 in our coolest locations. and then by sunday we're bright, we'll see more sun a few clouds drifting by, and then early monday, some drizzle. this is 6:00, but notice this model has the front still well off shore. it's the first half of the day where the north bay gets wet and the second half of the day the front pushing through the city into the east bay and winding up in the south bay by about 3:00. so it has cleared the east bay still hung up in the south bay. the evening commute, though, looks slick but dry and rainfall amounts fairly uniform from a quarter of an inch to a third of an inch for most of us. and as we get into the latter week time frame, one system, it's a pretty progressive wet one that wants to bring more rain. late wednesday, thursday, and even into friday. so we'll see if
6:50 am
that verifies between now and then. we've got partly cloudy skies with upper 60s on the peninsula mid 60s in the north bay, low 70s in livermore. the accuweather seven day forecast so partly cloudy, 60s to low 70s. warmest locations. level one system monday the holiday we're dry tuesday and then the second half of the workweek could see a little bit more rain, but too early to tell yet. stephanie, all right. >> lisa, thank you. on the court now, the warriors made a stop in cleveland last night to try and extend their five game winning streak, but it did not go well. here's abc seven news sports director larry beil. >> good morning everybody. after beating the defending world champs in boston, the warriors continued their road trip facing old friend kenny atkinson, who has the cleveland cavaliers undefeated coming in with a90 record. and the dubs walked right into the buzzsaw in this game. atkinson, in his first season in cleveland, and the cavs just look great. less than five minutes in darius garland pull up three. cavs up 20 to 2 at the start. second quarter ex-warrior ty jerome nothing but the bottom of the net. cleveland
