further and further south, we did have reports of a few scattered light showers around the bay area, not much, but it was very, very active in the high country. look at that. numerous thunderstorms, dozens of lightning strikes in the high country, though, settling down as the sun began to set today on the energy up there. the storm, though, not done. it looks like it's going to drive all the way down into southern california as it does still spinning up some more moisture. so we've got another winter weather advisory. this is the second one this week in the southern sierra nevada, looking as much as maybe one, maybe 4 inches of snow. we'll see some video of some snow total past today. getting a nice dusting of snow there. more on the way. southern california. of course, they've got the fires down there. so the good news is it looks like they're going to get some rain. the downside is mia. they're gonna get a lot of rain and well possibility of some flooding there as well. so some flood watches have been posted in southern california had their watch out for that. they are, though going to start out a few clouds early on tomorrow morning. and then i think as we head toward the afternoon, little more sunshine, the temperatures are still be running below the average for comfortable many spots about 79 degrees in san jose. much

change is confusing. travelers and travelers at the airport have also chimed in with their own issues, known of individuals who book flights to sfo, intending to travel to oakland and undoubtedly oakland airport is experiencing similar confusion. we know on social media that a number of travelers have questioned. >>the relationship between the 2 airports and a number of folks have tagged the wrong airport. very confusing for my lyft driver. >>we almost certain to san francisco and he kept saying san francisco ongoing oakland and he was thinking san francisco, san francisco, oakland airport. >>judge is expected to rule on the preliminary injunction within the next few months. >>coming up, a much anticipated rate cut from the federal reserve. what one expert says this landmark decision means for you. stay with us. the federal reserve

cut interest rates today for the first time in 4 years. >>this decision expected to have a big impact on americans, mortgages, loans and savings to break this down. further kron four's justine waldman spoke with family wealth advisor with morgan stanley george and chatty. >>so what do you think? this was highly anticipated and a bigger rate cut. then what people were anticipating? >>well, i believe it's a happy >>because the federal reserve's job is to manage the monetary system. if economy gets, you know, too hot, they've got to make rates really, really high. if the economy gets to call the have to make it really low to stimulate the economy in this case, without inflation, they've had no choice. but

these rates now. >>we all know that if you keep rates high for a long period of time, it will kill an economy. it will put us into recession. so so the fact that they're lowering, but lenny rate to banks is really a very, very, very very, very positive thing for consumers also for the economy. >>so they were saying the experts in that story we had before you, it's going to take a series of cuts for us to really feel the effects. powell saying we're not saying mission accomplished, but they are encouraged by what's happening. so there will be other cuts in the future. >>well, the fed is very cautious. and so they've been we've been complaining that they've been delinquent lowering the rates allot sooner. so this you know, well, excepted well appreciated question is now the markets will be looking at, you know, what will they just again next month and the month after we think likely well and will probably be, you know, about a point less than what we are right now. how does it affect the economy? there's always a lag factor. >>for the for the bigger part of economy, for the consumer. but there are some things that directly affect the consumer

today because when the federal reserve lowers the lending rate, the banks, the banks will also make adjustments and auto loans, credit cards, mortgages, savings, student loans. >>so if i'm someone that wants to buy a house, i've been looking in, i'm trying buy a new car. should i like try to do these things now or wait for these other rate cuts to come? >>well, i was hoping you would start with mortgages because there's not a direct correlation to the federal reserve lowering the rate by 50 basis points and the mortgage rates going down. but actually of the mortgage rates today are the lowest level they've been since february of 2022, but the rates don't move in tandem with the federal rate. so right this month we're seeing rates probably about the well, actually may. they were averaging about 7.2, 2, and now they're averaging 6.2 and you can find many rates below below 6%. but the consumer. do, you know, don't be frozen. the consumer has to reduce their total debt because the banks when they

when they when they loan money to you, they look at your total debt, including mortgages and student debt and its ratio of debt to income. so now's the time to really get an otter, you know, lower your debt as the rates come down and you lower your debt. more people are going to get qualified. so, you know, with rates below 6% more people will. but it still, you know, out of out of touch, really, for, you know, just your common everyday person trying buy a home. now today. >>so all in all, though, you think that this is a move in the right direction. well, it sends a signal. this is that we're getting inflation down. the federal reserve's been very cautious. the stock market has really fought the federal reserve thinking they're going to do this. they're gonna do that. you have to listen to jay powell, the fed chief. and today, i think you mentioned this earlier, a quote from shape how he said the labor market is actually in solid condition. that's important. and our attention with our policy move today is to keep it there. so then reserve chiefs agreed to this except where there was one to center. so it's a positive sign.

>>so that the next move here that they could make their fight to more meetings one in november and december with the vision here to have 4 more rate cuts in 2025 and to then in 2026, that's according to the associated press. but one of these meetings is happening like right after the election. like what do you think this will do for the economy and politics? if you can weigh in on that, i'd be curious. your thoughts? >>well, i think, you know the politics, i'd put that aside. fact is we have had high inflation. started about 4 years ago. the federal reserve's been working on, you know, getting it down. i believe the federal reserve is not motivated by politics, even though we do have an election in november. so, you know, maybe it is but likely not. they have to worry more about getting inflation down in the economy. but it's a good sign that inflation isn't out of control it and what they have to start working. of course, you know, aunt on the core inflation, like, you know, buying food and those sorts of things that consumers actually use on a daily basis, which are still quite high.

and that could be for a number of reasons, not just inflation, but also, you there's been a lot of consolidation providers of a lot of these food products. and so they can kind of manage their costs and they can have higher rates and so maybe the rates are bit high. maybe shouldn't be that high. when we go buy food, they should be lower. so that will be the administration, you know, current or the administration coming in. we'll have to deal with after the common person. >>wait and see. george, thank you for joining us. appreciate you. taking some times. we could talk about these historic interest rate cuts. appreciate it. pablo youth base

that's a pretty smooth process. so we demonstrated to you can strategically deployed those types of systems with labor agreement that the port of oakland. and we've grown pretty significantly since that time. we put that agreement in place. and lastly here, if a strike gets resolved, if they don't actually go on strike, consumers probably really won't notice anything. >>but if it does happen, what would be the impacts on a consumer, especially as we are starting to get in all these like holiday goods. well, i'd be in for us in the bay area, actually. i think your assessments, correct. we won't see a lot of changes. >>to trade patterns. but what happens is we're going to be worker creative about how we move cargo in order to accommodate more volume. so folks that are in the rest of the country, we want to capture that cargo here. we want to move in on the west coast. clinton and other ports to make sure that we're

getting all the jobs economic activity associated with those. so you won't see a lot of impacts here locally. but nationally, the more we can move through u.s. west coast ports. >>the better the better the bizzare will be by jacob, who is the president of the pacific merchant shipping association. thank you for joining us this afternoon. thank you. >>the coalition on homeless in san francisco is asking for more public restrooms in the city claiming that the city has money in the budget. for more 24 hour pit stops. but those funds are going on used from 4 as robin has. this spoke with the executive director about the complaints of human waste in the streets. >>you may have seen a pit stop in san francisco, a white trailer with public restrooms inside the coalition on homelessness wants to see more added in the city to provide dignity to the unhoused community. we have a humanitarian crises where we literally have thousands of people who are out on the streets who don't have access to basic sanitation. it's been several years since san
