seventh and this is a live look outside in berkeley, where we are making our final push to clear the shelters this weekend after our month long effort, we have some surprise guests coming up in just a few minutes. thank you so much for starting your saturday morning with us. i'm kira klapper cinthia pimentel has a quick look at our microclimate forecast, and you say we finally get a break from that heat. we've been experiencing. i think we're going to do much better over the coming days. and we start this morning with a little bit of some sleeping in weather. we usually this week been waking up with the sunshine already blasting, a little bit different to start our day down here in san jose, golden gate bridge socked in with that cloud cover. if you see the sign right there telling you wet roads and those changes in visibilities that we also notice into parts of santa rosa. so just be careful as you're starting your saturday for saturday of the month here with us. but look at our microclimates. all of that

beautiful, stunning sunshine. people already up and at em out there towards 580 in dublin. now listen, it is still going to be a very warm day out there for the tri valley in the 90s. we'll do upper 90s for the south county as well, 70s and 80s by the bayshore, and we'll gradually cool things down in the coming days. so i'll be back with those details in a few minutes. back to you. kira. all right, cynthia, thanks. we begin with the search for a san francisco woman wanted in connection with a hate crime near the city's alamo square park. but the woman's family says they reported her missing two weeks ago. 67 year old april martin chartrand is wanted by san francisco police for making racist threats against this man. terry williams. we've reported on williams. he's a well known dog walker in the alamo square neighborhood. back in april, williams reported receiving two packages with racist messages, including a doll with a noose around its neck. a month later, a fire destroyed his home. williams tells us after seeing

photos of chartrand, he realized they had interacted not long before he received those threatening packages. i still can't grasp the whole idea of her doing this, attacking me like that, you know, like what was her end game? so maybe they can. find out when they question her and get her in custody. find out what's going on. so i don't know. i don't know, but i know she's missing. so i know it's out there now. so i'm just going to be a little careful. williams says he also saw chartran spreading shards of broken plates around the base of some alamo square trees. he thinks to prevent dogs from relieving themselves there. meantime, police are looking for chartrand. if you see her, call san francisco police. the driver accused of causing a deadly wrong-way crash that claimed the lives of a bay area mother and her son, made his first court appearance. 39 year old duncan mcquarrie was charged with multiple charges, including two

counts of murder and two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter, while intoxicated. investigators say the florida man drove 100 miles an hour the wrong way on highway 85, in san jose. he somehow sped down the highway for nine miles before crashing his rented pickup truck head on. he's charged with killing rebecca olson and her 14 year old son, charlie. prosecutors say mcquarrie had close calls with other drivers before that deadly crash. the santa clara county district attorney says mcquarrie was driving under the influence and acting recklessly. we don't know the answer at this point as to why he got out of the car at one point and then got back into the car and continued driving at excessive speeds against traffic. that's something that will investigate and try to get an answer for. i don't know if we ever will know that answer. mcquarrie appeared in the hallway next to the courtroom in what appeared to be

a wheelchair. he is due back in court in november. now to san francisco, where a large window fell onto a busy downtown street from atop a high rise. miraculously, no one was hurt. a crane was lifting the pane of glass to the rooftop of the 30 floor salesforce east tower. but something went wrong and it plunged to the ground. the falling glass cracked a street level window of the millennium tower across the street. it also shattered the window of a nearby parked car. there was glass all over it, literally just shattered everywhere. it was like an explosion. i mean, it came from the top, right? so yeah, but it was it was it was pretty big, loud. and it was, it was hitting the windows and hitting the building on the way down. that window actually was being pulled up to replace another window that had cracked during a windstorm last winter. in fact, dozens of windows in seven downtown buildings broke or fell during previous windstorms. as a result, city

supervisor aaron peskin began a push for mandatory inspections of all high rise windows. turning now to governor gavin newsom, who vetoed a bill that would have helped undocumented immigrants get home loans. the california dream for all program gives down payment assistance to qualified first time homebuyers, including immigrants. today in the bay jocelyn moran explains why that's no longer a possibility in the last couple of weeks, i've been getting so many calls. lizbeth alarcon is a bay area realtor who often helps undocumented immigrants buy their dream homes. she says some of her clients were excited about assembly bill 1840. they were waiting and hoping that this would kind of help them get, you know, their their home finally. the bill would have expanded the california dream for all program, which provides financial assistance for first time homebuyers. in june of this year, the program began providing qualifying homebuyers with money for down payments and

closing costs. it was so popular it ran out of funding after just 11 days. ab 1840 would have allowed undocumented immigrants to apply for first time homebuyer assistance, too. but governor gavin newsom vetoed the bill, citing the cost in his veto message, he said in part, quote, given the finite funding available for calhfa programs, expanding program eligibility must be carefully considered within the broadened context of the annual state budget to ensure we manage our resources effectively. assemblymember joaquin arambula from fresno county wrote the bill and said in a statement he's deeply disappointed, adding that quote, i have always believed this bill is about fairness. the veto doesn't change the fact that many people, including undocumented immigrants, dream of owning a home. so that generational wealth can be passed to their children. this comes after former president trump vowed, if elected to ban mortgages for undocumented immigrants in california. as it stands now, alarcon says buying a home as an undocumented immigrant in the golden state is not easy. it is definitely a lot

harder because rates are higher for them. down payment is also larger than, you know, we somebody who has a social. but she says for many, buying a home is still part of the american dream. jocelyn moran, nbc, bay area news. the new san francisco fire chief is making history in her own backyard. san francisco native chief sandi tong is the first asian american to run the city's fire department. today, in the bay's gia vang sat down with the new chief, bringing us this report. hello. nice to meet you. nice to meet you, too. this is san francisco's interim fire chief, sandi tong, for the city and county of san francisco. the city and county of san francisco. congratulations she's just a few days into the job after her historic appointment by mayor london breed tuesday. how has it been going? it's sort of a whirlwind. tong is the

department's first asian-american chief. there's you know, a pride there to be able to represent my person as a chinese woman and somebody who has really close ties to the city. born in the city's chinatown, graduated from uc berkeley, and then getting a phd in psychology. tong is also the first chief to ascend in her 25 years with the department. from the emergency medical services or ems side, not firefighting, with tong noting about 80% of calls come from the ems division. being able to see if we have the appropriate staffing to be able to meet that need and then wanting to kind of look overall in terms of the way that the call volume, how that rises, the types of calls that were going on, well, how are those things changing or how can we better address what's happening out there on the streets? her background in ems has raised some concerns in her new post. if there's a large scale event, will you have the intimate knowledge to lead in that moment? what do you say to that

criticism? i'm not here to run a fire, nor am i here to run a multi casualty incident as a rescue captain. so my job is to make sure that they have what they need and should there be a conflagration or some other thing like that. my job is to make sure that i have the people with me that are able to help address those issues in the moment. tong says she has an experienced team around her, and spent the last five years on the command staff of her predecessor, chief janine nicholson, who announced her retirement in july. tong says she's continuing the work the department has already been doing. it really starts with the people, right? so it's who we hire and then how we maintain them. and so that is and we always are wanting to increase the diversity of our department because it does it helps us better serve. her appointment also comes just months from election day, where mayoral candidates like breed are working to capture asian american votes. it is an election year. some people say that you are a political pawn. how do you respond to that? you know, it's her choice. i am here

to do the best job that i can. i do feel that i am prepared, i understand how this organization works, and i also understand what's happening from the administrative side, from the much more, yeah, from the organizational side of what's needed for this department. the fire commission and mayor will work towards finding a permanent chief gia vang today in the bay 710 right now, we have much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up, we catch up with some bay area kids helping people in need. we'll tell you about their unique fundraiser. plus we're live here in berkeley with just a few of our friends because we are out

i came to bayview hunter's point, where there was only one pediatrician to serve more than 10,000 children. daniel lurie said, i'm going to help. we opened a clinic for our most vulnerable children.

i have worked shoulder to shoulder with him as we have brought solutions where people thought the problem was unsolvable. daniel doesn't take excuses. he holds himself accountable. and i know that he can do it for the city of san francisco.

cloudy skies as we look across the bay towards san francisco. cinthia pimentel will be along in just a bit with a slight cooldown, which should make for a lovely weekend. touchdown! starliner is back on earth! boeing's starliner spacecraft back on earth. as you just heard, the capsule landed safely last night in the new mexico desert. as we've been reporting back in june, starliner launched two nasa astronauts into space on its first crewed test flight. the mission was expected to last

eight days, but nasa decided to leave the astronauts at the space station because of safety issues on the starliner. the two astronauts are expected to ride back to earth on a spacex capsule in february. we have new details this morning on that humpback whale spotted swimming around half moon bay. it was first spotted thursday afternoon in pillar point harbor. we returned yesterday and the young whale was still there. marine biologists tell us it likely took a wrong turn and is now lost but not stuck. the experts tell us it's common to see humpbacks along our coast this time of year, often looking for food. they're advising boaters and others on the water not to try to guide the whale back to sea. they predict it will likely swim out when the tide is high. now to some young soccer players in the east bay giving back in a big way. the team is collecting shoes to be donated to people in need across the globe, as today in the bay's pete suratos

explains, the good deed is also a unique fundraiser. it was a busy friday night for the dublin united. 2013 green team loading up bags filled with shoes. all of them were donated by community members and will head to people around the world who desperately need them. we're at about 2,500 pounds. ken marshall is a parent of one of the soccer players and helped organize what's known as a shoe fundraiser. these gently worn and new shoes will go to the nonprofit funds talks, which sends the shoes to developing countries where vendors can resell for profits, helping to boost the struggling local economy. in return, the nonprofit will pay the soccer team per pound of shoes, which at this point is around $1,000. i like the idea that we're, you know, keeping shoes out of landfills. we're helping developing countries. we're helping people, you know, grow their micro-businesses and gathering thousands of pounds of shoes. the past six weeks wasn't an easy task for these soccer players. it was hectic some days because it was like 100 degrees.

we didn't want to go outside. but knowing it's benefiting those in need made the process worth it. everyone has seen someone like ask for money because they don't. they can't afford it and well, now we're giving them free shoes. and despite collecting a hefty amount of shoes, the ultimate goal is to hit 3,000 pounds by the end of next week. but more importantly, is providing the kids a chance to think outside of the box when it comes to fundraising and giving back to those in less fortunate conditions. there's a lot of people that. like what we're doing, there's a lot of families that are soccer families as well, so they can appreciate that there's a lot of costs involved with soccer in the east bay. but also, you know, they recognize that it's helping people in need. pete suratos today in the bay all month long nbc bay area has been working to clear the shelters this year, we are proudly celebrating ten years of finding forever homes

for pets in need. this weekend we're helping out at some adopt a thons one bark and meow around the block at berkeley humane, where we find our own laura garcia and marcus washington there this morning with some friends. hey you guys, great to see you. thanks for coming out this morning. hi good morning. kira. guess who we have here? a double dose? yes, a double dose, for sure. this is laura and this is marcus washington. yes. we're here helping to clear the shelters, and we thought we would, you know, hold our respective namesakes here. oh, yes. look, they are cute. these are just a few of the animals that you're going to see out here today and really across the bay area, because they all need a loving home these two just three months old. so look, if you're looking for a little pet, maybe you have small kids. this is the perfect time to come out and make a forever home for these little pets. there you go.

we've teamed up with shelters across the bay area, and of course, we're out here at berkeley humane, where can you believe it is our 10th year of helping to clear the shelters? let's bring in jeffrey. he is the executive director here at berkeley humane. i can't believe it's been ten years. it's flown. it's wonderful. and boy, has this event grown. it has grown. we are so excited. this year we will have 25 rescue groups and shelters, some of the best in the bay area we have animals from ten counties and hawaii, and we're also launching a free vaccine clinic for owned animals. so there is so much going on today. it's so exciting. and the thing is, is that they shut down the streets here because it is. i mean, they've got music. it's a street fair. they've got so many different groups and these dogs are from not only just the area, but outside of california. yeah, that's right. we have animals here from the park fire in chico. we have animals that have flown in from hawaii to the overcrowding conditions there. but mostly we just have the most amazing animals that are looking for new loving homes. and today we hope over 200 of them go home. and the great thing about

this year is at this location particularly, you all have something that you're not going to see anywhere across the country, and that's free vaccines. yeah. we are so privileged to be the premiere location for clear the shelters in the san francisco bay area. and this year we launched a free vaccine clinic in order to help owned animals as well. but you're absolutely right. it's a fun it's a street party. adopting is fun, and we want everyone to come down and celebrate with us and hopefully take home their their new family member. that's right. you certainly want to get on line. you can see all the animals that are here and get out here early. the event itself is going to start about 10:00 this morning. gives you your best chance to maybe take home marcus and laura. all right. and laura is excited. laura is a little squirrely and marcus is a little whiny. they're both hungry. i think they're hungry. yeah, we're going to send it back into you, kira. all right, guys, thanks so much. we'll see you again soon. so cute. let's check

in now with cinthia pimentel for a look at our microclimate forecast. looks like good weather out there to get out for a street fair and maybe adopt a pet. definitely great wilk weather. i can't say that word out loud in my house, so let's go out and check on the forecast for berkeley right there to join laura and marcus. temperatures, of course, starting a little bit of sweater weather, some patchy fog here and there. but then into the afternoon, a lot of sunshine and temperatures in the upper 70s there in berkeley. so go out, maybe find your forever friend. and if you are taking them to other parts of the bay area, like down here into the valleys, we're going to get very warm through san jose once again in those upper 80s 91 for los gatos, and we get even warmer as we move into the south county. 99, in gilroy. so our microclimates will be out and about on this saturday as well as we take it from upper 70s in oakland to mid 80s there through fremont. it gets even warmer out towards the east bay. not as hot. i think we're getting a little bit better as we've gone

through this heat wave. we'll do 97 in antioch, one of our warmer spots, and then start to see a little bit more of that breeze influencing our numbers through daly city, upper 60s to 84, in redwood city for today. but if you find yourself in the city microclimates there as well. 70 for the mission, 65 in the marina, and we continue with some gorgeous weather up in wine country, too. it's the sun hats. it's a lot of water. also, sunscreen will do 90 in napa for today, 86 in santa rosa, and even a stunning day out there towards point reyes. but for the coming days, we're going to drop those temperatures just a little bit as we start to track a system of low pressure to the pacific northwest that could bring some rain chances back in the mix. after this heat wave, we're talking about the rain chances once again, it'll really be starting to feel the changes there as we go on into tuesday and wednesday. but then that should sort of settle out our temperatures as well. so look at the 7-day forecast, a warm weekend transitioning back down into those 80s for the rest of the week, we'll watch how close those rain chances get to the bay area. but overall, san

francisco should also be seeing some nice weather 70s for the weekend seconds as we go through our workweek. all right cynthia, thanks much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up, one broken sewing machine sparks a new joy for one local woman. the story will make yo ok, 500 deluxe garden gnomes. wow. i only meant to order five. there's not enough money in my account for these. i'm gonna get charged. two things i just can't deal with. overdraft charges. and garden gnomes. but your bmo smart advantage checking account

gives you an extra day to avoid an overdraft fee. nice to see a bank cutting people some slack. mistakes happen. and we give you time to correct them. so, you don't like gnomes huh? what about that one? that one i like. a lot. ♪ bmo ♪

this vietnam war army nurse has found a new calling, and her story will make you bay area proud. here's garvin thomas story. this is where the magic happens. the spare bedroom in pat van der mullin, sunnyvale home is no longer a place where anyone sleeps. obviously not anymore. it's a space where things are being repaired. this one was completely bound up. the easiest of those to spot are the sewing machines. i've got two, four, five, six on that and another two. over the past two years, pat has fixed up more than 50 old broken sewing machines so they can be given to immigrant families as part of jewish family services of silicon valley's refugee resettlement program. i'm kind of retired, but now i have finally found what i want to do be in in my life. you know, it's a sewing machine repair woman, you know. a sewing machine repair woman. it should be said,

who not long ago didn't know how to repair sewing machines. this is andy tube, but people on youtube did take something like this. and so pat learned by watching them. you know, if you if you stop learning, if you stop growing, then you you stop. this was really dusty in here. and you can see all the crud. but at 77, pat isn't just learning. she's also healing. oh, there we go. you see, pat herself is the other thing that's being fixed in this room. more than 50 years ago, pat was sent to vietnam as an army nurse. she ended up spending two tours and two years of her life there. i wasn't prepared for what i was going to see, and i don't think any 21 year old and any, any anybody should have to see the things that i saw. pat says she dealt with the trauma by not dealing with it and getting on with her life, or at least doing her best. even

though the war is over 50 years or 60 years ago. you know, for me, it's the war is still there. you know, and it will come back. but somehow pat discovered the process of resurrecting the sewing machines was helping her process what lingered in her mind and was putting things back in, working order. this is from 1949, perhaps pat theorizes, it's knowing that with the help of these machines, families will begin to craft new lives in their new country. this is going to actually going to turn out to be a really good machine. and she, in a roundabout way, will be accomplishing the goal she set for herself. so many years ago when she shipped off to war. more than anything, i wanted to be a part of our history. wow. she is incredible, garvin. thanks for that. we have much more ahead for you on today in the bay. coming up, we are

clearing the shelters notice online. so who's that? i don't know, and we are taking things to new heights as we celebrate the ten year anniversary. that's right. we're going to be out here live at berkeley humane. stick around. wait

bounced from one doctor to the next. did they even send my lab work...? wait, was i supposed to bring that? then there's the forms. the bills. the 'not a bills.' the.... ”press 4 to repeat these options.” [chaotic music] [inspirational music] healthcare can get a whole lot easier when your medical records, care and coverage are in one place. at kaiser permanente, all of us work together for all that is you. then the 731 a live look. outside you can see the sun trying to shine through that cloud cover in downtown san

jose. good news that hot, hot heat from the last couple of days is cooling down. just a bit. thanks so much for starting your saturday morning with us. i'm kira klapper cinthia pimentel has a quick look at our microclimate forecast. sounds like a good weekend to get out. definitely. and we have the weather for all kinds of events. of course that's what we love about the bay area. good morning kara. good morning everyone. how about we go out towards the coast and maybe do a little bit of a hike there? we are starting the morning watching that dense fog on the roadways into about mid morning, about 11 12:00. we should see the sun starting to peek through and temperatures there in the upper 60s. maybe you want to go out shopping to the outlets in livermore. you're going to find yourself looking for that ac in the stores as temperatures. they're still going to be very warm in the upper 90s. so as we go throughout this weekend and into about monday, temperatures are going to come down just a little bit. a slight cooling. still very warm as you move further away from our coastline, but then into next week, we're looking at a system that could bring about some windy and

possibly chances of rain in that seven-day forecast, so we'll talk about it coming up. kara, back to you. all right. cynthia, thanks. we begin this half hour with two teenagers now under arrest in connection with an attack on a high school football player in the east bay. it happened two weeks ago at dublin high school. today in the bay's jodi hernandez spoke with that victim's mother about how he's doing and finds out how the school district is changing its plans for protecting schools. his head was bashed into the locker and he had a concussion, but his whole face was just, like, severely swollen at the time. sherri barfield describes the beating her 14 year old son, dasani, endured when four young men wearing hoodies and masks chased the freshman football player into the boys locker room at dublin high school, two weeks ago. the attack came moments after a girl and her mom confronted dasani after school on campus. the school says the mom and girl entered the locker room during the attack. there's no reason for a child to ever be

beaten, or anyone to ever cause physical violence to another person. there's no reason for a mother to ever bring a perpetrator on campus to harm another student. if she feels her student has been wronged. dublin police announced they've arrested two people. 18 year old gerald kountz, who faces trespassing and felony assault and child abuse charges, and a 17 year old boy who was related to the girl. police say so far, there's no evidence the mother coordinated the attack. it was horrific and it was unacceptable and uncalled for. district superintendent chris funk says surveillance cameras captured the men entering the campus, providing leads to police. he says since the attack, more campus supervisors are monitoring the locker rooms, and he's now proposing adding fencing around the entire school campus. for us, our number one priority has to be the safety of our students, our staff and our families that come on to campus. because if you don't have a safe environment, it's hard for teaching and learning to take

place. dasani's mother says she's glad to hear about the changes and hopes everyone involved in the attack is held accountable. we need to do better. we need to do better, period. keeping our children safe. the school is the one place they should be able to go and be safe. she says dasani, who suffered a broken nose and a concussion, hopes to get cleared to get back on the field. he's hoping to play in next week's game on thursday. the parents say they miss his leadership. they need dasani. in dublin, jodi hernandez, nbc, bay area news. we just want to turn to breaking news right now. this is a look at our seismograph. just about four minutes ago, a 4.4 earthquake hit in cobb, california. that is in lake county just about 100 miles north of san francisco. we are awaiting word on whether there was any damage. we will bring you the latest as we learn it. we turn to new details now in this week's deadly mass shooting at a georgia high school. the 14

year old suspect appeared in court yesterday, and so too did his father, facing unprecedented charges. four people were killed in the shooting at the atlanta area high school on wednesday morning. the victims were two students and two teachers, with many more injured. the teen suspect, colt gray, is being charged, tried as an adult. he is being held without bond. he will be back in court december fourth. his father, colin gray, also was in court. he is being charged after authorities learned he gifted his son an ar 15 style rifle, the same weapon used in the shooting. that father now facing involuntary manslaughter, second degree murder and cruelty to children. there could be more charges coming for the teen. we don't know if new charges will be brought against his father. a big turn now to decision 2024. we are 58 days away from

election day. the presidential candidates are preparing for their high stakes showdown next week. as the debate about gun violence is now shaking up the campaign. here's nbc's gabe gutierrez before that highly anticipated debate, vice president harris is hunkered down in pittsburgh, where she's expected to hold mock debate sessions through the weekend after getting new support from an unlikely source, a former republican vice president, dick cheney, will be voting for kamala harris. that announcement from former republican congresswoman and frequent trump critic liz cheney, who says she's also voting for harris. one issue that's likely to come up in the debate crime. former president trump, speaking to the world's largest organization of law enforcement, the fraternal order of police, after getting its endorsement. kamala harris and the radical democrat party have led a war on law enforcement in america. they're against you so strongly. while the harris campaign is releasing this letter, signed by dozens of law enforcement officials endorsing her, that comes as the

issue of gun violence has once again rocked the country. and the campaign following this week's mass shooting at a georgia high school. trump's running mate jd vance, calling for increased school security. the kamala harris answer to this is to take law abiding american citizens guns away from them. i don't like to admit this. i don't like that this is a fact of life. but if you're if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines, you realize that our schools are soft targets and we have got to bolster security at our schools. the harris campaign, writing on social media. school shootings are not just a fact of life. it doesn't have to be this way. vance then responding instead of addressing her own failures, she lies about what i said. written statement. dick cheney explained he was voting for vice president harris because, quote, in our nation's 248 year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than donald trump. that was nbc's gabe gutierrez reporting for us. back here locally,

governor gavin newsom has vetoed a bill that would have helped undocumented immigrants, among others, become first time homeowners. it's known as assembly bill 1840. it would have allowed undocumented immigrants to apply for first time home buyer assistance through the california dream for all program. newsom says he vetoed the bill because the program doesn't have enough funding. back in june, the program provided 1700 first time home buyers with money for down payments and closing costs. but the program was so popular it ran out of funds within 11 days. so far, it has not received any additional government aid. turning to seven good samaritans being called heroes for rescuing a man who fell down mount whitney. it happened on labor day. this past monday. these are pictures from the inyo county search and rescue team. they say they received a call from someone who saw the climber fall. rescuers say when they

just want to begin really quickly talking about this before we get to our weather forecast. it was right around cobb, the geyser. so people reporting it, feeling it up into parts of clear lake as well, up into the north bay. parts of solano county as well. it's being downgraded to a 4.2 and we're going to keep our eyes on it. you notice there are smaller aftershocks, a four point, you know, one, two, three, four is still pretty light on the category, but definitely something to watch. always very

mindful of us to create a little bit of an emergency plan if need be. we'll follow that throughout the morning. but how about talking about the rest of our forecast here as we start the day? so a few patchy clouds, areas of some dense fog. then we should start to clear things out as we get into our noontime hour 80s and a bit of some 60s by the coast. but then we get into in a warmer afternoon, not as hot as we've dealt with. of course, with this past first week of september. but the valley still seeing some low 90s out towards concord and livermore, upper 90s for parts of morgan hill and gilroy, we'll do 88 in downtown san jose and get more into a breezy picture as we climb up into parts of the peninsula. now, as we talk about the rest of the weekend, temperatures are still going to be pretty moderate. we're in a bit of a gradual cooling trend in the next couple of days. and how about we take it out to oakland for tomorrow's pride parade and festival? temperatures in the 70s there. we're all awaiting, of course, monday night football, where the tailgating there in santa clara for the 40

niners will be stunning. temperatures very warm. so remember to bring the hat and the water bottles and it should be a nice afternoon as well. what you're noticing on your screen there, just to the left, will be a low pressure system. that's developing and could bring us some rain chances up towards the north part of the bay area. we'll watch that into tuesday and wednesday, and that should also level out our temperatures a little bit after a warm weekend. still dealing with the remnants of the heat wave will come back down into the 80s and see a little bit of a cooldown as well. in through san francisco. we'll bring those temperatures back down into the 60s and watch the winds out of the pacific. all right, cynthia, than so much.ks
