The sun valley mall in concord was evacuated yesterday after a man entered a store with a gun. Police say the man went into a Jewelry Store just around 03 00pm saying he had a firearm and that he threatened to shoot anyone who came near him.

Talk a bit about our forecast now as we take a live look outside at mount tam looking into the San Francisco skyline. One of my favorite views from our cameras and top prop for meteorologist kyla grogan. Here shes a shes got more on what the weather situation is like kyla. From one of my cameras behind me, those going a little crazy. Blue skies fortunately see that. Yeah, the full screen isnt really with us, but its one of show air quality are going to see in the east and the south bay today. A little bit of moderate air today. Nothing too bad. The of the air quality index right in between 0 and 50 is considered good. And were talking about just 51 to 52 today. So not bad for use in south bay, but just to let you know, theres a little haze out there. High pressure is building in. And of course, thats been happening over the last 24 hours or so. Were going to see that continue towards the weekend. And thats why were going to stay warm inland, least through saturday that we see those temperatures in the upper 80s and even a few low 90s out their inner east bay and inner north. A little bit of that, too. So here is one of the spots that will not be getting to our were at Half Moon Bay where you can see the clouds have definitely been hanging on. So that ocean influence is certainly going to keep those of you at the coast. A little bit cooler these next few days. And you wont really feel that warm up. We could get a few breaks in those clouds today. But i think for the most part, theyre going to stick around currently right now about 60 to 3 degrees in palo alto. Just 54 at Half Moon Bay. Were just looking 64 in San Francisco, but notice concord already up to 78 degrees. 84 in saint helene, a word about 73 in santa rosa. And if you look outside beautiful blue skies as we take a look here, so today, mostly sunny skies unless youre at the coast, were going to be a little warm inland. As i mentioned, clouds increasing tonight, a bit gusty as we get later into the afternoon with some westerly wind. If you are coast or bayside and then a pattern change coming our way as we head towards the weekend. Were going to start to see a little bit cooling in the latter part of the weekend. And then much more of that as we head into next week. But today about where we should be in San Francisco, looking after 71 degrees. 74 in oakland and notice as we get inland spots like san jose livermore, concord, santa rosa getting up into those 80s. Well above where we should be this time of year. So in some spots like concord, you know, should be about 82 were looking for about 89, but we will see those clouds hang out at the coast and just to show you future cast, we get to 5 oclock tonight starting to see those move back in. So certainly going to see some of that patchy fog as we go over the next 24 hours. Get into tomorrow morning and then well start to get some clearing as we get into the afternoon. A look at your sunday forecast really quickly shows you that that pattern does start to break down as we get to next week and notice that cooling will be looking at inland valley, a 20 degree drop between now and when we get into say next tuesday and wednesday. But for the weekend looking good. Weve got the blue angels in town. I think well have some great skies to fly and stefani. Back to you. Yeah. Great conditions for the air show. Thanks so much, kyra.

So a quick check in with you. You know, how are you feeling now . You can track the covid late september. So first of all, we just want to ask how youre doing. Thank you. You know, it was rough. And, you know, it took down almost our whole family, but i am back at work, i would say are 90 . I do have a little bit of that lingering fatigue that that you hear everybody talk but i am absolutely 1000 for the people of oakland. Right now. We are glad to hear that. And this morning you announced a new 5 Million Dollar investment from the state to help oakland teachers find affordable housing. Can you tell us a bit more about that and how teachers can apply . Church a couple years ago we launched trio teachers rooted in oakland to address not only the representation gap, but the affordability that teachers are struggling with that in many ways are driving the Teacher Shortage here in the bay area. And what it means is that we basically subsidize the housing costs, part teacher residents that are giving their masters are giving their masters degree was student teachin our Public Schools. What was great is this last budget from the state of california included 5 Million Dollars to continue this incredibly successful demonstration project. Port than that. Today we announce very innovative expansion that actually can potentially reach hall 2000 Oakland Public School teachers. And thats real plus. Its an online platform. A virtual marketplace that matches Public School teachers with landlords that are willing to discount their rent just to help out in this moment where we know our teachers are underpaid but certainly not undervalued. All right. Very in interest of time. Were going to turn to a topic thats also very top of mind for a lot of people. We were just talking about this, the shooting at the kings, the states campus of we know that the schools are back open this week. Have you had a chance to speak with the families affected by this . You know, ive talked to the school our sympathy goes out, not just the people directly impacted, but this tom entitles the whole community and we are busily trying to wrap our arms around these School Communities and ensure that they feel loved and supported and we can help begin to restore a sense of safety. Now our Oakland Police department has responded very visibly with increased hot spot deployments. I want to appreciate our officers who have canceled their days off that are working extended shifts to ensure that there is visible presence, particularly in the locations that we think are most vulnerable to potential retaliatory violence. Were also staffing up some areas that have long needed more officers. Thanks to our successful acadeies. Were at 8 new officers in investigation so that we can hold these people accountable as well as bringing back the Traffic Division to stop the reckless driving. But also they play a big role in taking illegal guns off our streets. Now, the city of oakland had its 100 and first homicide victim just this week. And youve called for more federal regulation of firearms. We know that attorney general rob bonta was in the east bay this past week or rather this week talking about his new office of gun violence prevention. What kind of conversations have you had with his office about addressing the issue of gun violence . Well, attorney general bonta has just been a great leader on this issue for a long time. And one thing that we are talking with him about it better utilizing a restraining order or kind of take away border. And thats something that has been very successful in san diego that oakland has not adequately deployed. We also are continuing to be grateful and wants to speed up the installment of security cameras on our freeways. And that is something that was in the governors budget that the attorney general support it. But i know we both agree that best of all, we want to stop violence before it happens in the first place. And im so thankful to a huge grant from the state of california that is going to our department of violence prevention and its going to expand not only family based behavior modification work, but also work in our schools, which could not be more timely. Okay. And before we let you go here we are hearing the city and the as are getting pretty close to a deal on the Howard Terminal project. Is that true . It the negotiations have been very active, very positive. We dont know if this will actually end up coming for a final vote this year. It is really important. We get this right and that the deal not only safeguards, oaklands longterm fiscal health, but also delivers all the Community Benefits that we know this project can and should, including those parks, those good jobs and that transitoriented housing that the bay area so desperately needs. Alright, oakland, mayor libby schaff, thank you so much for your time this afternoon. We hope you have a fast and full recovery soon. Thank you so much. All right. As we talk about the city of oakland, lets take a live look outside at the bay bridge coming from the city into San Francisco. Checking in with on our forecast as well on how conditions are looking like kyla. Yeah, were ready to get for a very nice day. I did want to start 70 with the Drought Monitor because that was released this week. Every thursday we get the new one. No real surprises here. You can still see exceptional drought in the center. Part of california and here in the bay. We are in what is considered severe drought. So this is the time of year when starting to look out for that storm that could kind of start to change things, right . They would let us know that our pattern is going to be changing live. Look right now and you can certainly no rain in the forecast today, but certainly a few clouds out there at the coast, keeping us cool. And as we zoom out, you really have to go to the desert southwest, a fine, any rain right at this point. So right now, nothing major in our forecast. However, this is the month that we do keep an eye out for that kind of big soaking rain hopefully will come in by the end of the month. Here we are taking a live look outside a little hazy out there today. Were getting a little bit reduced air quality in our east bay and south bay today. 57 degrees right now in San Francisco. 62 in oakland, but were warming up inland as expected. You can see some 80s there in antioch, in livermore, 72 in san jose. Napa. City about 69 degrees. A nice day today. If youre heading out to see the ship tours for fleet week, pretty cool. Theyve got that going on until 4 oclock today. Well see some upper 60s topping out today in San Francisco at about 71 degrees. But as we head towards the weekend, notice were going to stay warm as you get to friday and saturday. And then by sunday we start to see the sunshine stick around. But the temperatures start to break down. Thats going to be the beginning of a bit of a pattern change. Thats coming our way as we get into next week and what that could mean for us, of course, is that we could start to see the possibility of a little offshore wind and even the potential as we get further into the love that i think will necessarily get it. Next week, Southern California looks like theyll get a little rain possibly next week. But for us, its just be those clouds like you see right now hanging out at the shore here at Half Moon Bay. Ill be back in a little bit. Extended forecast. Stephanie, back to you. All right. Thanks very much. New at noon ubers former security chief has been found guilty in federal court of covering up a massive data breach at the company. A jury convicted joe sullivan of one count of obstructing justice and one count of concealing a felony. Uber was investigated back in 2016 about a hack that took place 2 years earlier. And during that investigation, the company was hacked again. Data from 57 million riders and 600,000 drivers was stolen. Sullivan did not notify the ftc of that second data breach leading to criminal charges and his conviction. A judge still has to decide when he will be sentenced. And after several delays due to the pandemic, we now have an official count of Alameda Countys Homeless Population as kron 4 Sarah Stinson explains the number has risen significantly over the past 3 years. Account of the homeless in Alameda County from this year shows a 22 spike since before the pandemic since 2019. And theres a lot of data that came out this week. But for people who live here, this is stuff they see every single day. What you do see our families living out there in their cars. There was a 62 increase in People Living in their cars. 16 of the Homeless People being surveyed say they lost their homes during the pandemic. This data was just released from the point in time report where officials go out and survey to find out how many people are homeless and it showed nearly 10,000 people in Alameda County are homeless. This is usually reported every 2 years, but it was delayed due to the pandemic. The communitybased organization, everyone home releases these reports, the acting executive director says there are many economic factors that drive homelessness, including the fact that a resident must make 44 an hour to afford a 2 bedroom apartment in Alameda County. And thats 3 times minimum wage. Tim damron has lived in alameda for 7 years. Hes even volunteered to help the homeless and this is what hes seen. Ive seen people washing in the bay of seeing people taking their infants to watch their infant in the bay. People sleeping in their cars to cross the bridge to hope. And much worse. Theres thousands of people sleeping and dismembered vehicles. More than half Alameda Countys Homeless Population is in oakland rising 24 . Oakland mayor libby schaff says theyve made progress and housing the homeless. In fact, the number of sheltered Homeless People doubled in the last 3 years. She says most likely due to more money from the state and federal governments and the challenge for the city council is to not only hire qualified Police Officers but have sworn volunteers that can manage this crisis because it is a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions. This month, Alameda County is applying for 15 Million Dollars in funding that they will use if they get it to combat homelessness. Im Sarah Stinson reporting in Alameda County. Back to you.
