7:47 am
today. 58 or so with some morning showers and all that generally speaking, partly cloudy as we get to monday into tuesday and much cooler. if you notice those temperatures as well. all right. future cast for back to this. now. this is the the kind of local view regional view. and there you see a couple splotches kind of appear. this is through the midafternoon a little bit. there along the coast or not completely done with this. but nice opening up, as you can see, inland happening for some sunshine. nice opening up overnight and into your monday morning. and it looks like maybe some showers potentially along the peninsula and along the coast there. what nice little juicy sell up there and it misses us. okay. and it clears out earnest as you can see by tuesday. by this point, we're starting to see moisture levels drop offshore. winds will become very apparent. the next map here very apparent with offshore winds and the surge of cooler temperatures. here's the big, big, big view of all of this. right now. we're kind of sandwiched inbetween the colder stuff that's up to the north. that's going to win and the southern
7:48 am
stuff that's giving some of kind of subtropical moisture and influence that kept temperatures nice and mild overnight. that's why we've been having all the 60's this morning because that milder air from the south. so playing this out, this is what's left over from this first system. and it also looks more impressive here than what we're getting. but again, enough to dirty up your car. then by monday. notice this nice big happening here. this is not the surface. this 500 millibars but still the nice little dig happening. and that's the touchstone hallmarks for the northern hemisphere. at least to see that surge of cold air coming down and more importantly, drier air. and that's going drive some offshore winds. so when we get to monday afternoon through maybe about wednesday or so. that's we want to watch out for maybe potentially some offshore winds. they're going to drive some drier air here then sunday. think of the national weather service statements with this. it just potentially something may start popping a little bit later on something look out for. alright. middle the week is the next thing. we're kind of waiting for something to happen. looks like there's some hope timing on this. maybe thursday morning. it looks like maybe wednesday, thursday morning, that type of zone. then we're

8:15 am
and and maybe into wednesday as well. stormtracker 4 we got going on is some of that warmer air is bubbling up from the south incorporate in this temporarily before the cooler air winds out, particularly into the balance of the week. futurecast, what we have opening up the skies a little bit this afternoon. however, at the coast different story. so probably going to see a lot less sun to the coast. then you'll see inland that somewhat typical. again, milder, cool on those temperatures. now into monday. still can't rule out this kind of almost nuisance type of light rain showers here and there are thrown out again enough to kind of dirty up the car and that nice juicy sell their goes way. and then we clear out by monday this is going to be drier air moving in here with a little bit of a pop of offshore wind. so they're the onshore winds. so kind of breezy today to the carquinez strait coming the right direction from the west. then there's a flip that develops as we get into monday night into tuesday, particularly there you see him and at a pretty good clip with all of that as well. and that takes us until the next event
8:16 am
by the middle of the week. let's check out the moisture levels. we got him well in the 50's even lower 60's at that throughout the day today. not a major drop tomorrow morning in the 40's. it shouldn't be dropping overnight, but that it is because the wind pattern is changing now. and through tuesday, the day proper, you can see it continues to fall to the 40's, even for example, in the 30's up and back of that, we start to get much lower than this. that is a little problematic. so even though this kind of a nothing burger, what we're getting, it's enough to moisten up the atmosphere. that's a good thing. 65 a couple sprinkles that the in the west as we talked about santa cruz mountains a bit course they could use that there, too. 68 for oakland, 75 san jose on the big board. here's what we got going on here. plenty of 70's littering much of the tri valley, maybe up to about 70 or so hayward. 75 vacaville, but you see the cooling trend. it's starting to build to get to the west and there's going to be more of those 60's fanning out throughout much of the rest of the bay take a closer look at the longer range forecast for you coming up in a bit, stephanie. all right, dave, thanks a lot.

8:18 am
about. representation and inclusivity. especially in stem. and that has really taken it's it's one of life kind of commitment that you make, even though you don't realize it at the time and the exploratorium has equally on that journey in terms of really thinking about what does it look like to to kind of spark that curiosity in science, technology, engineering and math. and i would add also the in that as well. so us through. >> the kind of exhibits and displays at the exploratorium that you worked to incorporate that specifically work to engage minority hispanic groups. >> yes, yes. thank you. so over time we have created lots of different exhibits and programs as well. >> a lot of a lot of one of
8:19 am
the what you will notice and see, especially we invite everyone to come. >> especially if you have an intended is that you would find very interesting hands-on exhibits that that really show lots of compelling phenomena, content areas around stem. and but it's done in a very interesting way. a way that basically draws everyone in as long as you are curious and you can ask questions, you know, you're able to really access the experience. and really, that is what we're trying to show concrete base learning is very exciting. and and and it's really one ofrthe major levers in terms of thinking about different stem careers and pathways. and so we hope to be that spark through our exhibits through our programs in currently right now. we have a festival
8:20 am
of exhibit happening. and so we have, but it's through november. 1st, it is a partnership with the mayor gold project, which is a community-based arts organization in san francisco. and one of the things that we're trying to always make connections around is also the the relevance here. the cultural aspects of stem in order to really also because stem part of culture. and that is one of the things that we're really trying to make some direct connections for folks. so then they could see themselves in this experience also would wait. we hope to always be responsive in relevant. yeah, in on programming. >> yes, an in your words. why is fair representation in the stem fields so important? we know that there are certain groups that are still underrepresented in these fields. and you think we're ever going to get there. >> i am an optimist. and so i do believe that we will eventually get there, but it's going to really take the
8:21 am
efforts of of many you know, systems right? so so the exploratorium given that were informal learning environment. you know, that is a place that we know from from the different information that's out there. in terms of that, you know, place, informal learning places in addition to school, right are very important to spark. thank city and the reason why it's so important is that we need a diversity of. experiences. you know, ideas because we know that this is what is going to really help us solve the very challenging, you know, dilemmas that are ahead of us. you know, global warming, you you know, technologies, different technology, emerging technologies. we're going to need to have all of those voices and ideas be part of creating those solutions. so
8:22 am
that means that we need to start early, meaning like in you know, when when students and youth are in school in order to sport that curiosity and also to provide those opportunities also to be able to learn about? well, what what what does a stem career look like an engineering or what does it look like? you know, to technology, for example, yesner about flask. 30 seconds here. what would you say? >> are some existing challenges that exist for certain groups that are preventing them from entering stem and what needs to change there. >> i think some of the barriers are. accessibility. >> to 2 different programs. 2 different experiences. there's you know, thinking about how to how to be more relay double. also in terms of how stem were these careers or are showing communicated. and
8:23 am
that's another reason why informal learning environments like museums like the exploratorium are so exciting because they could be gateways for more participation for for exposure for accessibility and also for future opportunities as well to be thinking about about about what a stem pathway might look like because stem is for everyone. it is not an you know, endeavor. it is for everyone. so we hope to explore time is a place for for all folks who want to come and start to kind of explore that for themselves. >> veronica garcia, luis director of diversity, equity and inclusion at the exploratorium in san francisco. thank you so much for your trailblazing work. we appreciate your time this morning. thank you so much. we'll be right back. bay area

8:46 am
typical. then it really picks up. starts to shift more northwesterly. this is up by tomorrow evening. doesn't last really long. but this lowe's digging in our backyard, driving this. and when we have these passing systems, it tends to be an offshore wind and that can be problematic. moisture levels, dew drop off here, but not for too long. and there's some more moisture coming our way by midweek. here it is on future cast for all media traffic for right now. there's that low digging in its the offshore colder air mass plummeting down. here's our next hit of rain. potentially midweek. this would be wednesday night into thursday morning after all the tricks and treats and the ghosts and goblins and everything. we should be okay for them. but then after that, we're okay. and then there thursday, here's that hit. and then into the weekend, there was some hope. that seems to be just that. at this point that may change because these models are always moving all the time. but still put a little pin in that to check it out as we get closer to the weekend. what's going on in your backyard for today? about 66 for san francisco will do it 60's along the coast with

8:51 am
out flowers and blue areas. flowers are those flares that you often see in hawaiian leis. he had a tree in his yard. he kind got interested now. little plumeria farms is reportedly the largest collection of rare areas in the world located on oahu's north shore. the 20 acre farm is essentially run by 3 generations. visitors get to kind of wonder through the acreage. they learn all about the flowers, the fragrance, the varieties available. it's just fun to something a little different than the beach. now, if you are the type of traveler that doesn't like booking reservations prefers to do things on the fly. my neck suggestion is really for you. green world coffee farm offers free tours. you don't need a reservation. they operate on a first come first serve bases when you arrive. you just let staff know you're
8:52 am
there. you can also just kind of going on your own and wander around, of course, along with the farm, there's coffee bar. what i love about this is you'll see locals buzzing in and out to get their caffeine fix. so it's not just for tours. and if you're not a coffee drinker, there are some wonderful tease worth trying here. so a little bit of something for everyone. and this is really just the beginning. but ideas to take it be on the beach things to do while you're in town from things that you might not have known. >> yeah, absolutely. i'm definitely a fan of the scuba program. the area flowers gorgeous and that little monk seal just take me there. let's go diving. stephanie. i'm with. that's fantastic. thank you so much. to our travel enthusiast. dana redmond for joining us live this morning. we appreciate it. absolutely. always on top of epic. all always on top of epic. all right. we'll be right back.

9:14 am
>> all right. welcome back. 9.13, this beautiful morning. a live look outside at the san francisco bay where we could see the city out there. it almost looks like it's floating up in the clouds does like largest rustic city or something we need to see. this is how we're gonna look like 1000 years or something. capital ships going by and >> and the air. so, yeah, it's a it's a little bit low level moisture step and that's all that stuff you see in the above. obviously clear patch. but there's still some stratus to make note of today. so expect those kind of variable clouds working all day today. sun cloud mixture here. and as far as any rain when a little patches of drizzle here and there maybe just a nuisance than a of the car. good morning, everybody else a half moon bay. now. >> little hazy on the lens, but a good general idea here. nice blue skies trying to make
9:15 am
its way. but still that lower level moisture still working on that a little bit. they get a direct clean that up a bit. ok, stormtracker, what's going on? we're actually between 2 major systems to the south. some of that subtropical moisture coming up here. and then to the north is our major player from the gulf of alaska. the pathway is open. we're going to see more coming down throughout the whole week. the question is, are we gonna get any rain out of these things? it still looks hopeful for wednesday. kind of have a date for that wednesday night thursday and then maybe in the following weekend kind of big question mark on all of that. but in the short term, what we will get is a pop of some offshore winds will get to that in a bit right now. future cast for today. again, nice opening up at the skies inland, less so for the peninsula particular the coast. not that unusual, but we do see here some again, sun and clouds mixed or not a lot to see in terms of radar. but tomorrow, maybe a little patch of some showers kind of stream on by. but that's the point stream on by. we're not going to have a lot of action in terms of rain there. and then
9:16 am
we open up in earnest by monday afternoon, monday night in through your tuesday at this point. now what develops is the winds from that low. it will be kind of more of an offshore wind event to look out for. that will bring down those humidity levels to cause a very high. now. thank you. onshore flow will be an afternoon breeze and all of that. then here comes offshore wind try to work in here by monday night. and that's a key issue for tuesday morning. in other words, if you're in or windshield in the area as the air dries, you get cooler temperatures to cause you get that radiational cooling factor with higher winds. that's hard to do. but you can see the winds kind of settle down a little bit overnight on monday by tuesday morning. not too much left there. let's step over to the moisture level here. you do see them drop during the day today, actually and all the way through monday morning. we're in the 40's. you can see well inland for again, for those dew points that starts to get into a little bit of a drier phase thursdays, more alarmist here. we don't see that popping up too much a little bit around vacaville. so doesn't look too bad. and this was good to get some of this moisture in here. i know it
9:17 am
didn't do much, but at least that moisture at the ground level helps out. give us some defense checking things out for today. we got 65 san francisco, an isolated sprinkle clouds on and off for oakland. 75 san jose and the big board for temps. we still have 70's leftover. that's for today inland. you see the mid 70's. meanwhile, 70's and 60's cover the east bay shoreline coming up in a bit. we'll take a look at that longer range forecast as we hunt and peck looking for spots of rain, 70. all right, dave, thank you. >> we've just wrapped hispanic heritage month, but the work continues year round at san francisco's exploratorium to reach and inspire diverse audience is in the bay area and beyond. earlier this morning, i spoke with veronica garcia luis director of diversity, equity and inclusion at the exploratorium. watch this. of course, we know that you have more than 20 years of experience researching developing programs that work to increase access to stem learning opportunities. tell us a bit about what inspired you to do the work that you're doing today. yes, yes.
9:18 am
>> it's interesting that kind of started a little bit with my own origins story. i am of of mexican american heritage in background. i'm the first person in my family to have gone to college. and i just realized a lot of things. well, i was in college, especially around thinking about. representation and inclusivity. especially in stem. and that has really taken it's it's one of life kind of commitment that you make, even though you don't realize it at the time and the exploratorium has equally on that journey in terms of really thinking about what does it look like to to kind of spark that curiosity in science, technology, engineering and math. and i would add also the in that as well. so us through. >> the kind of exhibits and
9:19 am
displays at the exploratorium that you worked to incorporate that specifically work to engage minority hispanic groups. >> yes, yes. thank you. so over time we have created lots of different exhibits and programs as well. lot of a lot of one of the what you will notice and see, especially we invite everyone to come, especially if you have an intended is that you would find very interesting. hands-on exhibits. that really show lots of compelling phenomena. content areas around stem. and but it's done in a very interesting way. a way that basically draws everyone in as long as you are curious and you can ask questions, you know, you're able to really access the experience. and really, that is what we're trying to show concrete base learning is very
9:20 am
exciting. and and and it's really one of the major levers in terms of thinking about different stem careers and pathways. and so we hope to be that spark through our exhibits through our programs in currently right now. we have a festival of exhibit happening. and so we it's to november. 1st, it is a partnership with the mayor aold project, which is a community-based arts organization in san francisco. and one of the things that we're trying to always make connections around is also the the relevance here. the cultural aspects of stem in order to really also because stem part of culture. and that is one of the things that we're really trying to make some direct connections for folks. so then they could see themselves in this experience also what we we hope to always be responsive in relevant. yeah, in on 10 programming.
9:21 am
>> yes, an in your words. why is fair representation in the stem fields so important. we know that there are certain groups that are still underrepresented in these fields. and you think we're ever going to get there. >> i am an optimist. and so i do believe that we will eventually get there, but it's going to really take the efforts. of of many you know, systems right? so so the exploratorium given that were informal learning environment. you know, that is a place that we know from from the different information that's out there. in terms of that, you know, place, informal learning places in addition school, right are very important to spark curiosity and the reason why it's so important is that we need a diversity of. experiences. you know, ideas because we know that this is what is going to
9:22 am
really help us solve the very challenging, you know, dilemmas that are ahead of us. you know, global warming, you you know, technologies, different technology, emerging technologies. we're going to need to have all of those voices and ideas be part of creating those solutions. so that means that we need to start early, meaning like in you know, when when students and youth are in school in order to sport that curiosity and also to provide those opportunities also to be able to learn about? well, what what what does a stem career look like an engineering or what does it look like, you know, to technology, for example, yesner about flask. 30 seconds here. what would you say? >> are some existing challenges that exist for certain groups that are preventing them from entering stem and what needs to change there. >> i think some of the barriers are. accessibility to
9:23 am
2 different programs. 2 different experiences. there's you know, thinking about how to how to be more relay double. also in terms of how stem were these careers? our our shown in communicated. and that's another reason why informal learning environments like museums like the exploratorium are so exciting because they could be gateways for more participation for for exposure for accessibility and also for future opportunities as well to be thinking about about about what a stem pathway might look like because stem is for everyone. it is not an you know, endeavor. it is for everyone. so we hope to explore time is a place for for all folks who want to come and start to kind of explore that for themselves.

9:46 am
get up the kind of the winter gear in the morning hours will be a bit on the chilly side to 30 tuesday morning. there's another hit for your morning commute on monday. that's a peninsula. santa cruz mountains, mostly. but you might get hit by a little shower with all of that. after that said and done, it's pretty much into the earnest clearing mode and then afterwards we look for offshore wind to start to develop into tuesday. and that means some drier air temporarily onshore winds today. so little breezy in spots and look at the arrows. the new little flip job here as we start to get to monday night. offshore winds at work. they're not real intense for very long, but we do see the moisture levels to start to drop off. all right. in the big board here we get through this traffic right now and that looks more impressive on this, that not what will probably end up getting. this is the next one look out for. that will be after the trick or treaters on wednesday night. it's cool for them. thursday morning is a shot maybe of some rain showers. there is a hope maybe in the weekend we might see something but it is looking less likely in the latest model runs. so
9:47 am
it will probably come up high and dry. but if we get to sleep, keep some moisture in place. there. hopefully it doesn't develop offshore wind in its wake. all right. what's going on around the neighborhood? 65 san francisco with 60's and breezy conditions at the coast coupled with this is where it's going to be a fog. trapper cloud trapped 2. so you're not going to see as much sunshine today as you did from yesterday, though. that's the one spot that the clouds are kind of linger a little bit. 65. meanwhile, for burlingame foster city, 69 palo alto at 70 in the south bay mid 70's. so we're still hanging on to 70's here, east bay shoreline, even to the south's freeman at 71 tri valley. lower 70's the bat. i got a 71 walnut creek, concord, 70 to 66 berkeley vallejo at 69, 70 for fairfield now at 70 and a 66. meanwhile, 4 santa rosa, but it's a 60 story as we go forward, breezy conditions tuesday, that will be an offshore pop. now there's our shot of rain thursday and then maybe another one in 2 the weekend after that. so even
9:48 am
though we're not getting a lot from all of this, we really raises humidity level. so that's a plus cat. and there might be a little passing little shower by tomorrow morning. that's going up your car. so okay. all right. well, you know, good to keep in mind if we want to just have the umbrella handy in case they were going what season soon. so definitely have the vaccine to get out. yeah. all right. thanks a lot. >> well, like dave mentioned, it is starting to feel like fall around the bay area. and while some folks to welcome sweater season, others may already be missing. those warmer summer days. earlier i spoke with travel enthusiast in a remnant. she explained what might be your next hawaiian getaway. you might some inspiration from this. check this out. >> good morning. will we know? i don't usually have to work very hard to convince people that a wahoo is a nice vacation spot. everybody wants to be warm. everyone wants to enjoy that sunshine. there's just more to love on this hawaiian island than most people can fit in to one vacation oahu's iconic waikiki

9:52 am
