7:18 am
and sunny. 49 in the tri-valley, south bay at 51 degrees. it's clear and check out san francisco, this is a nice shot. what's happening is we're seeing a couple of low lying clouds and that's bringing us that patchy fog. the north bay 43 degrees right now. nice and cool, 50 degrees for the east bay and here's a look right now at doppler radar. you can see fairly quiet out there. we have a ridge of high pressure that's still building over the bay area and keeping us dry and keeping the rain away and bringing us warmer temperatures. but we are tracking what's going to also be a cooldown as we head to the middle of the week. before i get to the cool down, look at the daytime highs, 82 degrees for san jose, east san jose 83. morgan hill 82. east bay, check out the east bay, for oakland, a high of 73. walnut creek 82 and antioch 82 and combination of lower 70s and san mateo, 70 degrees.

7:20 am
temperatures. by seasonable, i mean 70s. as we head towards the later portion of the week, this is a long range outlook look ahead, if you notice by friday, we have the low pressure system that's going to be just offshore and that's going to bring the possibility of maybe seeing a couple of showers as we head in towards next weekend, friday into saturday. now for the next seven days, here's a look what you can expect. we'll keep the 70s and dry conditions and really all week long. we start to notice a cooldown as we head towards tuesday. the reason for that is because of that system that's sitting off the gulf of alaska right now. if you notice inland spots, we go from 80s back down to 70s on the map. and then that low pressure system moves in on friday, which could bring some light showers off to the north but we're still on trend to keep 80s on the map for a couple of days longer. i think folks will be happy about that. are you happy? >> i'm happy and i'll give you credit this time. >> no ridge of high pressure to thank for that. >> still ahead, when the flames

election, voters will decide the nominees to statewide offices, the state legislature, congress and voters will decide the nominees to statewide offices and state legislature and congress and numerous local content but the governor's race will be particularly signific t significant. >> what exactly is at stake, larry? >> a lot. when you're talking about the governor, the governor presides over the nation's most populated state, 40 million residents,
7:46 am
more significantly, the governor presides over a state which if separated from the rest of the united states, would have the sixth largest economy in the world and here's another point because california's 55 ee lectors amount to 20% what it takes to win the presidency in the electoral college, the governor automatically joins that small list of nominees downstream, case in point, president ronald reagan was california's governor before election to the highest office. >> that takes us to this election. what do we know about the candidate? >> let's start with the fact that 27 people, 27 people qualified to run for governor. you probably don't know them all but the candidates include democrats and republicans and libertarians and green and peace and freedom party members and along with a few not running with any party affiliation. some of the names are pretty familiar. others are known to their families and friends and few more. among the lesser known candidates are self-described

7:48 am
through 12 public education alone accounts for 40% of california's state budget. it's the largest state funded policy of all. newsom favors traditional schools that respond to all students including those with special needs, critics argue traditional public education is out of touch with the times. and building up charter schools which critics say enroll students selectively and not transparent in their operations and don't perform well on state tests as public schools and cox, cox wants every student to be eligible for a voucher which could mean public subsidies tore private schools or even home schooling. critics say public funds should not support private schools. there you have it. >> we don't have a whole lot of time before the election. what can we expect between now and june 5th? >> look for tens of millions of dollars to pour in from independent expand tour groups on all sides of the educational issues, teacher's unions and
7:49 am
those groups supporting public education will point out the importance of well qualified students, those that favor charter schools or vouchers will focus their appeals to individual students and their families. so often voters have a hard time, we know this, have a hard time distinguishing between candidates positions on key issues. this time there are stark differences on what to do about public education and that will give voters something to think about. thank you, larry. and still ahead on "today in the bay," pushing out footballs or corps sajs how the san francisco 49ers put smiles on pt faces in bay area teens in need of in cheer. this is how you want to start your sunday. beautiful clear skies, 50 degrees right now, we'll talk about your daytime highs and who will see 80s once again. details coming up. you could save energy
