Were in great shape, tested totally negative and really in good shape. Reporter but the white house physician has not reported the president tested negative for covid. In a memo late saturday, dr.

Several streets in the area were shut down. L. A. County has the largest population of armenian immigrants and protests have been held all week. The march remains peaceful. More evidence tech salaries are going down. Thats according to reporting from the wall street journal.

Today was the last day of business for sunny doughnuts. The line for a sweet treat stretched down the block. You can see it here in a minute.

Proposals for new business and Residential Development are now being considered. This is something a lot of families have been waiting months to see. San francisco is getting ready to reopen playgrounds. It is going to happen on wednesday. There will be changes to keep everyone safe. Food and drink wont be allowed on the playgrounds. Masks are a must for anyone over the age of two. The city is also installing hand washing stations. Playgrounds are already open in other counties. Well, we can all feel it, the conditions outside. They are improving. Take a look at this side by side image here. These two photos, kind of makes us all feel better. On the left is what california looked like one month ago. Thats the big difference. You can see it was even vin smo. Thats what it felt like if you were outside, rob. So we can thank you for that. Yeah. We havent had many good news stories, at least in terms of the weather. But this weekend was pretty nice. Clear skies in terms of the air quality. Still looking pretty good right now. Here is the issue as we head to the middle of the week. It all has to do with the offshore wind we will start to see pick up by the middle of the week in addition to our temperatures climbing back into the 80s and 90s inland. 61 degrees currently. A high of 72. Now, later this week, there is a chance we could see some 80s closer to San Francisco as we take you over towards the east bay right now. It is 83 degrees for a high in walnut creek. Most locations add five degrees to your temperatures today. Still in the low 60s in walnut creek. San jose 64 degrees. So Anoushah Rasta brought this up. Look at the air quality. Still green across the board. A little bit of moderate closer to richmond, but overall a much improved picture. But with the change in the wind, might see more smoke creeping into the north bay, something we will be watching closely. The fire intensity has dropped off. For the morning, it will be chilly. 40s around the north bay. Dress in layers for the morning as we got those 40s to start the day. And temperatures for the afternoon going back to summerlike numbers. Mid80s around san jose. Closer to 90 degrees. Climbing closer to 90 degrees. 80s oakland and freemont. Low 80s down towards pal low alto. Up from 72 today. Closer to 75 degrees tomorrow and north bay temperatures for tomorrow in the mid to upper 80s. So here is the culprit. And typical pattern for october. Storm passes to the north. High pressure behind it. And thursday we are pinpointing this day. The estimated wind gust speeds up around napa county, the hills of the north bay where we will probably see some fire weather watches being issued as early as tomorrow. The timing will be wednesday night into thursday morning. Obviously the north bay. There is your high fire danger window. You see the highs flattening out. Hopefully that means it should weaken slightly. That will allow for cooler temperatures mid way threw next weekend. Looks like as early as wednesday, thursday and friday, those temperatures staying pretty warm and valleys likely getting into the 90s as early as tuesday and then staying as warm as the mid90s by friday. A roller coaster ride as we start to cool off. While we had mostly highs in the 70s, as you can see these numbers starting to rise back to summerlike levels, we have to watch those gusts though wednesday night into thursday. Its an unfortunate pattern we often see in october. Storms not quite Strong Enough to bring us rain just yet, but reset the wind pattern. Back to you. Rob, thank you. Still ahead, after a brief hiatus, bali is back in the city. Yeah, a lot of changes, but its back. We will show you the only in San Francisco scene. Plus the morning drive leads to an unbelievable effort. The owl stuck on a fence that rallied a whole community in east bay. The unfair money bail system. He, accused of rape. While he, accused of stealing 5. The stanford rapist could afford bail; got out the same day. The Senior Citizen could not; forced to wait in jail nearly a year. Voting yes on prop 25 ends this failed system, replacing it with one based on public safety. Because the size of your wallet shouldnt determine whether or not youre in jail. Vote yes on prop 25 to end money bail. Traffic and air pollution will be even worse after the pandemic. Thats why we support measure rr to keep caltrain running.
