Some developing news from the east bay, the search for a new Oakland Police chief keeps getting a little bit more complicated a committee thats part of the Oakland Police Commission Says it has narrowed down a list new candidates to 7 people. It does include the former police chief armstrong. But that committee did not follow the proper process and the official finalists have not yet been determined and it did turn out that the committee jumped the gun by releasing a list of candidates because the application process isnt even over yet. The candidates havent even been interviewed. Regina jackson is on the Oakland Police commission, but is not part of the committee that released the finalists. And shes very critical of the committees process. I do not know how you can come up with final candidates before the end of an application process. That is election. The application deadline is not until friday. Then an executive search firm will forward the names to the Police Commission and then the commissioners will conduct interviews and hold a town hall meeting before submitting a list. At least the top 3 choices to the mayor. So the question remains this afternoon.

All of that helps us during fire season. Right now, it looks a little hazy we look a little bit of a distance there in San Francisco. Want to talk about the rain that we got last night. It wasnt a whole lot right, but it does help to keep some of our brush that is out there. Thats very dry. Maybe not quite as dry as it was. We got a little over a 10th of an inch point raise mill valley just under that law. Honda 7, 1, 100 get the idea. It wasnt a lot of rain. Just a trace at the Oakland Airport than at the airport, too. That is giving way to blue skies yet again. And you can see as we take a look at the flag over here, the wind is definitely starting to kick and were going to see that throughout the night tonight. As i mentioned, mostly clear skies tonight. Those other than the wind is going to be relatively quiet. We do have a little shot of rain friday night to saturday. It looks like at mote might be more of a north bay thing than anything else. Again, not a whole lot of rain and then maybe another slight chance on monday. Temperatures right now we are cool. We are below average. Kind of nice. 66 in San Francisco are looking at some nice low 70s as we head inland. We should be about 80 degrees this time of year. Just to give you an idea of kind of where we are and how cool we are. So i wanted to look through futurecast and show you the systems, the kind of keep rolling right . They come towards us and then they start to fall apart a bit. So this is thursday evening. You start to see a few clouds rolling into the bay area friday. By the time we get later into the day. Thats when this next system is trying to bring a few showers. You see what i mean. Its it kind of falls apart. It doesnt really keep itself together enough to give us anything significant. Having said that, we get maybe a little drizzle. Maybe we get a little bit of a wedding of some of those drier grasses and things that are out so thats a good thing for us because why . Because were still very much in fire season. And you can see thankfully on the west coast, our numbers are 1, 2, 3, as far as fire risk. This kind of takes into account how dry we are, the wind that were experiencing and you want those numbers to be low, meaning less danger. Having said that with the wind kind of happening in the next 24 hours, please be very careful. Help of firefighters out by being smart about it. You can see as we head towards the weekend that chance of showers overnight saturday into sunday. Back to you. Thank you so much. The United Auto Workers strike is now in its 4th weekend.
