Starting next year the minutemen will become the bears. That decision, as tim johns tells us, does not come without pushback. Tim the concorde high minutemen are no more. By a vote of 41 district voting to approve a new mascot for the school. Starting next year they will be the bears. What i support is making sure our students feel connected to our schools, that students have a voice, and students go through a process. Tim the district superintendent says discussions over the change have been happening for years after district decided to replace human mascots with nonhuman. The goal was to make them more inclusive. It is time for new attitudes. If changing your mascot will make students feel welcome, embraced, and empower them to participate more at their school, i will support this. One of the concerns is the minutemen holding a musket at a time where School Shootings are top of mind for many students. Other issues come from the use of the word men. With the term men, what our female students . They are not represented. Tim not everyone agrees with the changes. Matthew is a recent graduate who is on the committee involved with the change. Even though the student body voted to become the bears, that was only because the status quo was not an option. They never ask us if we like our current mascot. We were just told it had to change. Tim the cost to change the mascot is estimated around 200,000, money he believes could go around student life in other ways. It is kind of the identity of our teams. When the odds are against us we fight. Our country was created with the minutemen. Jobina for many of us our moms are biggest cheerleaders.

It is one day after he defended his decision not to sound warning sirens as wildfires swept across the island. The abc 7 news iteam has learned that San Franciscos emergency sirens are coming back after sitting silent since 2019. The city took the sirens offline because they needed an upgrade and they were vulnerable to Cyber Security threats. Funding to fix them never made it to the top of the citys agenda but after what happened in hawaii, that has changed. A supervisor voted no the last time there was a funding request, saying he thought the city should be spending money on planning. Now, he is supporting bringing the sirens back. I think l taught us this should be higher up on the priority list and is the reason that i am moving forward with a funding package for it this year. There are 100 19 sirens throughout San Francisco. He estimates it will cost 5 million for all of them and that will be paid for with money the city has set aside for laguna honda hospital. Another california town is now using sirens to warn of approaching wildfires. It is the town of paradise. This is what it sounds like if a fire is approaching. This is a test of the paradise Early Warning sirens.

Lawenforcement particularly concerned that the personal information of the grand jurors who voted to indict trump is being shared online. The sheriff vowing that anybody responsible for making threats will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Trump on fox again attacked prosecutors, calling them very sick people. President trump its a witch hunt, a continuation of a witch hunt. The sheriff reminder all defendants they can turn themselves in at any time. The jail is open 24 7. I think this is the first jurisdiction where he is getting a mugshot. At a press Conference Trump scheduled for monday to address this indictment is now canceled, sang on social media his lawyers with prefer putting this in formal legal filings.

Jobina we continue to track hilary as the storm heads for Southern California. First we, are going to check on spencer its going to get a lot more humid as the storm gets closer to us but we have fairly calm conditions, as you can see on the live doppler seven. Those patches becoming more widespread. Heres a view from the exploratorium,. 62 in San Francisco, mid60s at oakland, mountain view, san jose, palo alto, Half Moon Bay.

As we get laid into the morning hours, you will see the low clouds still with us pulling back to the coast and there will be fewer and fewer patches of drizzle. It will get drier and sunnier in the afternoon. Lets take a look at high temperatures today, 64 at Half Moon Bay. Some coastal locations will be even warmer, closer to 70 degrees. Close to 70 in San Francisco as well. North bay highs, upper 70s to low 80s. Inland bay will be upper 80s, close to 90. Here is the accuweather 7day forecast. The huge returns this weekend.

Across some of the desert areas, we could see a years worth of rain in places like palm springs, las vegas. The storm is expected to make landfall in mexico on sunday and we can aken as it approaches the u. S. Border. Its precise path will determine how dangerous the system will be. A move just a little bit more offshore and disorder of a more glancing blow, it might not weaken quite as much. Hilary set to make it reaches Southern California as a Tropical Storm. This would be the first potential tropical system to make landfall in california in more than 80 years. Warm waters west of mexico are partially to blame for supercharging the system, which is also a concern in the gulf of mexico and atlantic ocean. One expert calling the record 88 degree water in the gulf freakishly hot. Others warning that coral reefs, a vital part of the underwater ecosystem and a line of defense against hurricanes, are bleaching and dying across the caribbean.

We are looking at much calmer and not quite so humid conditions. Temperature readings around the bay area from the low to mid 60s, so we have a rather narrow range of temperature readings, a uniform range we call that.
