desert southwest from some of that monsoon moisture. what's ever left the body to sometimes get caught up in the upper levels of the atmosphere. we saw that a little bit and august 2020 when it drifted up our way. 4 zone forecast comes in like this. 63 san francisco. we'll see the upper 50's to lower 60's hugging the coast. meanwhile, bayside mid-sixties to be found 70 for foster city palo alto. 71. these are highs, not current. 72 san jose. 75 for morgan hill is 68 for milpitas mid 60's east bay shoreline out to a livermore valley, 70 ish. 72 going on for walnut creek. 73 for concord. 66 in lee andrus. we have the decoupling still even with this weather pattern. 73 for concord. 63 vallejo, obviously an onshore winds. 75 for fairfield. 72 napa in 76 for santa rosa. pretty typical pattern will see remaining the next couple of days will be a minor warm up by tuesday, as you can see. but we hover around 80 ish until friday and

into saturday. boy, we start moving to more that typical some some summertime weather. stephanie. >> yeah, i am looking forward to some sunshine. thank you, dave. a big move in college football to tell you about as usc and uc la announced they're leaving pac 12. what we're learning about the conference shakeup. >> i've got both sides represented here and one good thing about what's going on is that both of these teams are leaving together. so nothing changes when it comes to the crosstown rivalry. but both have been a part of the pac 12 for so many years. and this is going to take some getting used to. >> you know, i think it's kind of the end of tradition and in college football. >> i guess you don't care that you know, all the tradition of the pac 12 >> i grew up in the midwest. so i'm i'm partial to the big 10, but i can understand you're coming from. to me. it's weird to hear the big 10 made it out to the coast usc and uc lay will exit the pac 12 for the big 10 in august of 12 for the big 10 in august of 2024, tha and trojans will play football games against teams like

michigan and ohio state instead of oregon state and arizona. the move will affect all sports except for some volleyball and water. polo teams. and it means much more exposure for student athletes. the big 10 has a tv deal that could be worth a billion dollars. it distributes twice as much money to its members compared to the pac. 12 that tv revenue, especially from football and basketball, supports other sports and even academics at these universities. switching to the big 10 will help with recruiting big-time student athletes are essentially getting paid now. they can sell their names, images and likenesses and playing in the big 10 is worth more because it has a national footprint. those are the positives, but there are some downsides. fans are going to have to travel to the east coast more often to see the bruins and the trojans play away games get used to having to go to ann arbor in frozen december weather to see the teams play michigan and it will also be a challenge for student athletes too. you

think it's harder for the student athlete staff to travel? i mean, is a very rigorous schools, athlete or not. so and professor understanding, but at the same time, so to get the so i'm sure that that's going play a role and schoolwork stuff like that. so now what happens to the other pac? 12 schools like oregon, cal and stanford. >> how will their programs survive without usc and u c l a? that's to be determined in westwood, eric spillman. >> we'll be right back.

afternoon we're going to mostly sunny, but temps will remain muted. upper 50's over the region. 60 going on for antioch. 54 is that it showed you half moon bay. 58. meanwhile, 4 san jose so cloudy in the morning hours in the afternoon, looking good inland, although cool for july 3rd, 78 by 3 o'clock. expected, although some of those inland spots may start to venture well through the 70's today, a mixture of 50's to lower 60's for the 4th of july activities. here we've got partly cloudy skies, some coastal fog to deal with. so unfortunately doesn't look great for the 4th of july forecast in order to get these skies cleared out play. be plan on some fog rolling on in going to have that 4 zone forecast for you. coming up next. step. >> thanks very much. day looking forward to it for your health. the overturn of roe v wade is raising concern and questions about the future of contraceptives already this week, we know a movie, a leading health provider in missouri stopped offering emergency contraception with no exception for rape or

incest and rite aid and amazon limited the amount of plan b pills. women can buy because of a surge in demand. here to discuss the options on the table is doctor sophy am founder of pandy a health. he's also professor at the stanford university school of or icine. thanks so much joining us live here today. thank you so much for having me here. so, doctor, what are the options right now for women seeking contraceptives? can they still get a hold of birth control? yes, you absolutely can get a hold of birth control and all 50 states right now. however, there are some particularly radical states. >> that are defining that life begins at one, the egg and hook up and that could theoretically affects the iud. the pill, the patch, the ring, however, with plan b and soon, eric's, there's been research and it shows and has no effect once the egg and hookup. so the fact that this pharmacy is not willing to fill it because they think it affects

implantation is not based on science. the fact that a physician is not willing to prescribe it is not based on science. and the key is number one. don't horde plan b, just get one pack. don't pull a covid toilet paper thing okay. and number to know that there's a better he'll emergency contraception, then plan b at penn be a health. we recommend l a i don't get paid by them. it just works. better works better. every time period and works up to a bmi of 35. so one tip on plan b is please check your body mass index. cool it. throw down your height and weight and if your bmi is 26 or greater, plan b is not going to work so well if your bmi of 30 or greater not going to work at all and under the affordable care act, if your doctor writes a prescription for ella emergency contraception prescription in advance of need, it should be free. no co pay. no deductible. thank

former president obama and current president biden for passing that as part of the affordable care act. and so you mentioned the plan b pill there. you know, one of the differences. and i think it's important to clarify this where the differences between the abortion pill and the plan b pill. this is such important question. if you have a positive pregnancy test and you want to terminate a pregnancy, you need an abortion. and that is either medication, abortion, which is mifepristone and misoprostol or surgical abortion. if you have a positive pregnancy test, if you take plan b and its generics or l a not going to work plan b in its generics and l a r if the condom popped, if you didn't use any contraception, if you are sexually assaulted, if you missed your pill patch ring for 3 days in a row, you can then take it within 5 days of this air. but as i tell my patients, if the condom pops

at 03:00am i want the medicine in the person's uterus at 3.10 know cuddling snuggling waiting to the morning after. but technically you do have up to 5 days. it's just not going to work as well. so if you want to prevent pregnancy, get some emergency contraception on hand preferred lee, the prescription to tight ahead of me. you don't need plan b, you can get ella. and if you want plan b and its generics know that there are generics and those are much cheaper, the name brand plan b, a doctor. you and your company offers women birth control by mail. you walk us through how that works and have you seen an increase in demand sense the overturn of roe v wade? since friday, the overturn of roe v wade. that horrible event where these politicians are playing. doctor hashtag i know titian they are not physicians. they don't understand science. they don't understand the implications of what they're saying and how that puts women's lives jeopardy. and doctors livelihood in jeopardy.

doctors don't know how to interpret what they are saying in the context of medicine because this is medicine versus law. and so we have seen an increase of 3 x our customers were x and now it's 3 x since friday, every single day consistently increased as women are concerned and good are, you know, taking birth control to prevent unplanned pregnancy the way our company works as we bring birth control, where internet in a mailbox, we're about access care, convenience confidentiality and all you have to do is fill out a questionnaire. 24 7, everyone in your pajamas and pay us $20 once a year to use our expert physicians. we only have positions and they have at least a decade of experience, if not 2 decades compared to others out there. and then you have unlimited follow-up questions for a year about birth control. we pass it or doctor looks at it if it looks good. we write the

prescription. we bill, your insurance shipped to your door and under the affordable care act, no copay, no, not the ball ak free. if you have a prescription, just tell us where it's at will move it to our delivery system. we, bill, your insurance. no insurance. no problem. most birth control. the good stuff. it's $15 per pack for a month. that's less than $0.50 a day. but if you want to save money, there are some $7 tax if you get a year's supply. but if it were me, my daughter, my friend, my patient, i wouldn't go for that one because it has maybe slightly more side effects. so be careful and don't skimp on your health care shoes. the only women founded women lead. the only doctor lead birth control delivery company. handy a. all right. doctor sophy am with candy, a help. thank you so much for your insight this morning. thank you for having me. all right. we'll be right back. despite the challenges
