Californians seem to be split on Governor Newsoms proposition 1, the 6 billion bond measure still too close to call nearly two weeks after the primary election. The latest numbers show the measure is at a deadlock with about 20,000 votes separating the yes and no sides. The measure promises to build more treatment beds and housing for those dealing with Mental Illness and addiction. Now with the race so tight opponents of the measure withdrew their concession and are now reviving their campaign efforts. The group against prop 1 and Governor Newsom recall both scrambling to get voters whose ballots may have been rejected to fix their signatures. The states mailin election system requires voters to sign the outside of the envelopes containing their ballots. If there are some irregularities with the writing or if envelopes are missing signatures, election workers have to flag those ballots. Theres still some races up in the air from this months elections, including a congressional seat representing the south bay.

Well track that as we head through tonight in the first alert forecast. Welcome back. Heres a live look at oracle park right now. Baseball season is almost here, but a familiar voice wont be there to great fans. Yeah. Renel brooksmoon will no longer be the p. A. Announcer. Vern glenn is here with whats behind that move. We were surprised by this one. Iconic voice. Absolutely. I texted her about an hour ago, known her since i started working in this market back when we were kids. Now the words are contract dispute. The official statement, mutual parting of the ways, but that is a tough one to swallow. Theres two fan bases you dont mess with here, the 49ers and the giants. People do not like change. With renel out the door after 24 years, she opened that ballpark. So when the as and giants preseason series hits here next week, we will miss this. Tim lincecum we may never really know what happened. I do think the giants, theres no way they expected this much blowback. She was the p. A. Voice of the giants since 2000, baseballs first black female public address announcer. The booth will be named in her honor later this season. Next week is the annual giants play ball luncheon. Renel is always the emcee. So that will be the first weird thing to, see be in else behind that microphone, legend, treasurer, pioneer, she did it all. It wont be the same. It wont be the same. Any word whos going to replace her at all . Crickets. Its going to be so strange not to hear her voice. San jose is asking the state for more than 12 million to buy tiny homes. It comes as Governor Newsom is touting efforts to bring tiny homes to communities across california to fight homelessness.

So far san jose and sacramento are the first two cities to team up with the state for a tiny home development. A live look now at the State Capitol where one state Assembly Member is trying to find what makes us happy. Anthony rendon created a group called the select committee on happiness in Public Policy outcomes. They had their first hearing last week and heard from experts last week what makes people heal, what role state and local governments play in peoples happiness. They plan to release a report the end of august on their findings. Lets check in with paul. Palm, what makes you happy . Sunshine. Yeah. Sunshine helps. It really does help. It does. Those backtoback weekends of having rain and have it be gray and cloudy and if people who are at work, thats the only time they can really enjoy the outdoors and that was robbed from us. I think we need to have a committee and discuss this and have a meeting and another meeting. Need a planning committee. And two more committees. To plan the committee about the committee. Ill send the zoom link. There you go. Please, no. No more. That does not make me happy. Let me tell you that much. Plenty to be happy about today with the morning fog backing up to the coast, dry and mild for now. There are some changes looming farther into the workweek. Lets look at the evolution of the big picture weather pattern as we wind the clock forward on futurecast and the map appears to be stuck. This is fun, live tv, a monday in progress now. Im going to step out of the screen. The l on the left side of the screen will give way to a storm system that will push towards the bay area with a good chance of rain by the end of the workweek on friday. Thats the next chance of rain. The next three days still looking like its going to remain dry. We got the maps to move. Lets see if we can get them to advance and no. This remote is entirely dead. This is fun. Okay. Youll just hear me talk about the map. As we head through the next several days, well be looking at 60s and 70s, but also only 57 degrees downtown San Francisco. Weve got low 70s in livermore and concord, some of the warmer temperatures farther inland. Later on tonight temperatures will drop off as the fog spreads out. Well track that with futurecast. All that bright white is the fog and low cloud cover making a big push into the inland valleys early Tuesday Morning backing up to the coast as we head towards midday, might be tough to shake the fog a little while longer in some of the valleys, but by noon everybody should be seeing sunshine breaking through. Temperatures tonight upper 40s to around 50 degrees. The pollen count through the next several days will remain high. I think we might knock it back a little more friday as the next wave of rain moves in, but tomorrow, wednesday, thursday towards the top of the scale. Lets look at tomorrows forecast high temperatures. Well zoom around the map without me to guide you since im behind the scenes, hitting the space bar to advance maps along, low to mid70s inland, close to 10 degrees above normal. It wont be nearly that warm along the coast. 58 degrees in half moon bay, farther inland 16 degrees warmer, 74 degrees in antioch, low 60s in San Francisco, mid60s for oakland and the north bay topping out mostly in the upper 60s to around 70 degrees, not quite as warm as other inland parts of the bay area because fog will take a little bit longer to dissipate. We have rain chances back in the forecast by the end of the workweek into the weekend and they linger in place for a while all the way through the weekend into early next week. You add up all those rain chances, four straight days, were not talking about a lot, generally a quarter to 1 inch of total rainfall with a little bit more in the santa cruz mountains. Lets check out the sevenday forecast. Well start with inland parts of the bay area where temperatures top out in the low 70s tomorrow, wednesday and thursday and the rain arrives friday and cools things off, back to the low 60s for highs by saturday, sunday and monday. Around the bay temperatures wont be quite that warm, but a pleasant pattern the next few days. The same general pattern will repeat itself morning fog, afternoon sunshine and then the rain back in the forecast, especially by friday and saturday. I think sunday looks like the drier half of the weekend, but theres a chance for scattered showers lingering into early next week and the whole last week of march does look generally unsettled. Thats beyond the scope of the sevenday forecast. We got plenty of time to worry about that. Hope you can return from the matrix void.

She tells our Shawn Chitnis she wants to see more representation in books. Reporter kylie joa born and raised in sing bore came here to stanford to get her undergrade and masters degrees and she decided to start working in the Tech Industry and that is the setting for her new novel with her main character showing a similar background. Even as a published author who has already written more than one book, its still a little weird for kyla jao to read her own words, but theres pride in the story shes telling for an audience kyla believes needs more like them. I was living by myself in california. I was very homesick and lonely and also really frustrated with the rising a race. Going on at the time. Reporter she had just graduated and taken a job as a data analyst. A few months into that career path, she was flying home to singapore unsure what she would be able to share with her family and friends about her new life. I took out my laptop on the plane and typed out the first line, zoe zhang was having an absolute blast and thats what i try to portray about myself to the people around me. Reporter kyla says she wasnt being honest and neither would her main character in the new novel valley verified. Zoe zhang was having an absolute blast. It was a balmy summer evening. Reporter but her main character zoe decides to give up that life in new york, working in the fashion industry, for a job with an app startup in Silicon Valley. Its her second novel. The first was about characters in her home country of singapore. I wanted to see asians like myself being portrayed in a more positive manner as the start of something fun and vibrant and joyful instead of being labeled as the villains. Reporter kyla said her characters are based on many people shes come across in real life and shes not afraid to take on serious challenges of the Tech Industry, including how women are seen and treated. She already does not feel that sense of belonging and every step of the way she feels like its an uphill battle, the odds are stacked against her. No one believes that she belongs there and as a result, she starts to believe that she does not belong there. Reporter as well as the fashion of the bay area, which comes up in this passage from the book as zoe heads to california. Youre going to be the best thing thats ever happened to Silicon Valley. Just promise me you never lose your style and become part of the patagonia group. Reporter while she still may be a little shy speaking her own words out loud, kyla hopes others enjoy reading this story just as much as she did writing it. Kyla says its important for her books not only to be about women, but specifically women helping other women and not put that focus on women who are forced to compete against each other. She also says that the trend is headed in the right direction when it comes to publishing. Shes seeing more diversity not only in authors, but the stories they tell.
