california air resources board also known as card approved the measure. the new policy officially makes changes to what's known as the california low-carbon fuel standard or lcfs program put in place more than a decade ago aimed at reducing transportation emissions. supporters of the latest update including governor gavin newsom say it will protect the environment and reduce emissions by an additional 30% in the coming years. a low-carbon fuel standard is allowed us to transition now almost half. >> of our dirty diesel, diesel and a diesel's created thousands and thousands of jobs. but on the flip side of this very analysis from the air resources board found the proposed new policy could increase gas prices by $0.47 per gallon in 2025. and potentially even more in future years. another analysis found increases could jump as high as $0.65 per gallon. the analysys came to that conclusion noting the new policy could lead to higher costs for refineries cost that then could be passed down to

consumers. >> while air resources board staff members say their report was never intended to be an end. be all prediction of gas prices and of since walked back to forty-seven sent analysis. jones says he does not buy it. he's concerned gas prices will go up. it's the everyday california. >> he's trying to make it here and stay here in california. it's going to feel and he's not the only lawmaker expressing concerns last month. all republicans in the state senate and assembly wrote this letter to resources board urging its members to hold off on the policy until more information could be released about impact on gas prices around the same time, democratic state senator melissa hurtado and democratic assembly member esmeralda soria wrote their own letters dpexpressing concerns. >> jones hopes they will join him and supporting his bill to repeal. the latest regulation were being too burdensome on the taxpayers and the residents of california. i think we'll get some some bipartisan support in this bill. and i'm hoping we get enough to get a pass up on the governor's desk. but even if

his bill makes it to the governor's desk, newsom has implied he will veto it. when asked this week if he's concerned resources board regulation could lead to an increase in gas prices. this was new sums answer completely reject that premise. >> as it relates to your concern around gas prices, which i think they're one of the most important issues in this state and this nation you have in place by the oil companies. big oil is been schooling. and if you think big oil has your back, you got another thing coming. >> and jones will formally introduce his bill when lawmakers return here to the capital in the coming weeks reporting at the state capitol. eytan wallace kron. 4 news. >> we hope this morning. the cdc says less than 20% of americans have received the latest covid-19 vaccine. they say only about 18% of us adults have gotten this latest shot just under 35% got a flu shot in a survey by the pew research center about 60% of americans said they probably will not get an updated vaccine this year. it's

few days, but not a lot. that's the key issue. half moon bay actually see some blue skies trying to work in here as well. back to the radar. we were just up the santa rosa there. we see that red indicating if they're under a flood warning as we speak for about another hour or so tracking the rain, as you can see, starting to fill out a little bit here. we've got the peninsula little in the east bay, but most of it up here in the north bay, closer inspection with some of the cells when they hit some of the higher elevations, you get a little bit closer to maybe a spurt of some moderate rain. but for the most part, the should be mostly light. as far as the rain showers are concerned. there you see it starts to feel a little bit. the very end. this loop here for greater coverage. but still patches of open sky. developing with this at the same time. so that's what you get experience for the next several days on and off. rain comes and goes skies open up, close up, open up, close up. so putting it all together for you. today is variable clouds, early shower with all of that. there little bit better by the afternoon. up tomorrow, variable clouds with a late they shower thrown in here,

too. the next week we've got showers monday and tuesday, just like we've been talking about. so it's the same kind of drill. and then there's a break into wednesday, which, by the way, we've been talking about the models. they pretty much all agree with wednesday and pretty much on thursday, but a little bit of disagreement heading into the end of the week here. now the one we're going with here is going to say maybe a little shot of rain on friday. nothing real heavy. and then we've got a dry weekend in store for us with all of that will definitely take that. so few showers early with some partial clearing. then we got some showers for the sunday afternoon here a little bit. mostly in the north bay and mata showers for in out monday. tuesday zone looks pretty good again for the holiday shopping. this coming next weekend. actually. and we'll be on the dominance of high pressure by that point. back to futurecast. now, kind of underscoring all of this and notice how things open up for the most part, little bit around the carquinez strait there in the early afternoon, little late shower down there in the peninsula. just a touch. we start off sunday. okay. but then as you can see,

mid morning, we start to develop some rain. i know it looks pretty intense out to see here, but that actually will lose a lot of its punch by the time it gets onto land. winds are going to pop with this a little bit, too. again, nothing like we experienced already except to say was saturated ground. even a modest breeze. however, a good stiff breeze may still cause some problems, too, because you don't have much resistance from the ground can still knocked things over. that's a possibility. it has been known to happen sunday. you can see in a little pop happens with all of this as well. again, not intense winds, but we don't have a lot of resistance here from all the rain. all right. might see some lower 60's going on here for high temperatures. but not much more beyond that point. i'm gonna walk a little bit more into that longer range forecast kitchen. the thanksgiving holiday weekend. again, still watching some rain showers as we get to friday, but an improved weekend, stephanie. >> in the south bay, a manager of a san jose boxing gym is charged with sexually assaulting 3 women while on the job. prosecutors say

also known as card approved the measure. the new policy officially makes changes to what's known as the california low-carbon fuel standard or lcfs program put in place more than a decade ago aimed at reducing transportation emissions. supporters of the latest update including governor gavin newsom say it will protect the environment and reduce emissions by an additional 30% in the coming years. a low-carbon fuel standard is allowed us to transition now almost half. >> of our dirty diesel diesel and a diesel's created thousands and thousands of jobs. but on the flip side of this very analysis from the air resources board found the proposed new policy could increase gas prices by $0.47 per gallon in 2025. and potentially even more in future years. another analysis found increases could jump as high as $0.65 per gallon. the analysys came to that conclusion noting the new policy could lead to higher costs for refineries, cost that then could be passed down to consumers.

>> while air resources board staff members say their report was never intended to be an cpend. all be all prediction of gas prices and of since walked back to forty-seven center analysis. jones says he does not buy it. he's concerned gas prices will go up. it's the everyday california. >> he's trying to make it here and stay here in california. it's going to feel and he's not the only lawmaker expressing concerns last month. all republicans in the state senate and assembly wrote this letter to the resources board urging its members to hold off on the policy until more information could be released about impact on gas prices around the same time, democratic state senator melissa hurtado and democratic assembly member esmeralda soria wrote their own letters expressing concerns. >> jones hopes they will join him in supporting his bill to repeal the latest regulations were being too burdensome on the taxpayers and the residents of california. i think we'll get some some bipartisan support in this bill. and i'm hoping we get enough to get a pass up on the governor's desk. but even if his bill makes it to the

governor's desk, newsom has implied he will veto it. when asked this week if he's concerned resources board regulation could lead to an increase in gas prices. this was new sums answer completely reject that premise. >> as it relates to your concern around gas prices, which i think they're one of the most important issues in this state and this nation you have in place by the oil companies. big oil is been schooling. and if you think big oil has your back, you got another thing coming. >> and jones will formally introduce his bill when lawmakers return here to the capital in the coming weeks reporting at the state capitol. eytan wallace kron. 4 news. >> and more details this morning in the ongoing controversy surrounding san mateo county sheriff christina corpus supervisory mueller announcing thursday an independent investigation confirmed text messages using a homophobic slur were sent from sheriff corpus a cell phone earlier this week. the supervisors voted unanimously to pass an ordinance calling for a special election to remove and replace the sheriff. a scathing report released last week detailed the sheriffs alleged

picture from i forget what i had it set for. but let's jump over here now if we can. so we can i got a sweet than that to about that action. all right. little bit of a breeze going on to this downtown san francisco bay bridge off towards the background and the cloud cover. but the blue skies appearing on through mount tam picture. well, it's still leftover rain drops here, but you can see the wet pavement in place. sierra forecast could see the return of snow still today and to monday, taking a breather tomorrow. notice the cool temps, a slight recovery a little bit as we get into monday stormtracker for this. what's left over with the heaviest stuff to the north's remaining in the north bay marine. but it extends all the way to solano county little bit along the east bay shoreline. and then we do have that flood warning that's in place now. that will be another half hour to about 9.15, or so. meanwhile, we put it into motion. you see again, the breaks in action. this is not like they're atmospheric river of before because it's run out of a lot of moisture with that. the pattern is still there. so we get daytime heating, as i mentioned earlier is like racquetball

and evaporates hits the sky condenses again. and we have showers yet again. also, we'll get that happening from the ocean, too. but it's not the deeper moisture we've experienced. so a few showers and a breeze to without partial clearing goes on here. then showers evening for sunday and mostly in the north bay. it looks like and we start to get into modest showers in and out monday, tuesday, as i talked about with a breather on wednesday, thursday. and it looks like it's dry into the weekend. we might revisit some of this a little bit on your friday. here's the short term forecast for today. opening up the skies pretty good for most of places for today. however, late this afternoon evening, we do has see the return of some light rain to the south of looks like we go over this again tomorrow. i know that looks pretty intense on the futurecast lose a lot of its punch. by the time it gets across the bay. and so that should be light rain showers. but again, the system's pretty much filled. so we could have some flash flood warnings that pop. but as far as the watches are concerned, most likely

that won't be reinstated. but watch out for those little warnings localized. so there we have that hit on sunday. we talked about we take on a breather on tuesday. wednesday with looks nice. and then a little balding up temporarily. as we talked about earlier on tuesday. so we might have some rain. showers still linger as late as that friday looks pretty good. this is again, that chance of rain on friday. then it dissipates. and i like this particular model run here because that really clears us out nicely for the weekend as high pressure starts to build rainfall totals. give you a general idea from now until sunday evening. maybe san francisco getting about a quarter of an inch of bumping that up to half of an inch. by the time we get to tuesday morning and not really adding much more to that as we go forward all the way through wednesday. a look ahead in your 7 day forecast. again, rain jumping in and out. looks like it's dry as we head on tc the weekend, although friday got to watch out for maybe some return showers going to some grub. what's going on? 70? >> all right, dave, thanks so much. november is indigenous
