Going to have to get new selfies reed in the care because i have so many with the painted ladies behind me. Im Gianna Franco by the way and sometimes you know, when you see different changes. You got to update it and share it. Well its going to be nice and warm this weekend. Right there the park across there in painted ladies. So darren peck. Take it away because apparently i swallowed a frog the morning with my tea. Good morning friend. Drum roll please. All right, the good news, theres a change in the temperatures coming over the next few days. Today, some of us are really going to feel it. By sunday, everybody will. Look whats different today. Marine layer is back. So this is one view of this. Thats from the camera on top of sutro tower. And you are looking back at the towers and Golden Gate Bridge, this could be little bit of an issue from a fog standpoint here. But its really the much bigger issue here is that were starting to see a change in the pattern. Watch what happens if we time lapse that. Were going to leave behind the live view in go to the exclusive view in top of Salesforce Tower and watch it another day. This is the last hour thats all coming on shore and thats cooler affeldters in. This doesnt get everybody today and were going to say goodbye to the real pretty pictures and what were going to do is put the numbers on here. For todays daytime highs, and then i will show you how some of us are actually going to be like ten degrees cooler today. If you are near the coast. But if you are inland, its going to be a little warmer today. So pick out your numbers. Santa clara valley, you are going back to near 9 today and you are going to be in the low 90s for numbers that are on the inland parts of contra costa county. And the temperatures out here are a little better. Anywhere near the city, anywhere down the San Mateo County coastline. You are feeling the benefits of whats known as a southerly surge. The marine layer out here has already started to redevelop and its coming up from the south and squeezing in through the Golden Gate Bridge. Look at the impact this is going to have today. On daytime highs. If we use the virtual map, and instead of looking at where were actually going to be today for the number, look at the drop. Halfmoon bay, you are 11 degrees cooler today than you were yesterday. San francisco, your number is five degrees cooler today. You were 81 yesterday. You are probably only going to 76 today. Thats still kind of warm but you have already started to cooldown. However if you are inland, not yet. You are about four, five degrees warmer today for all the inland valleys. The improvement coming up in a few minutes by the second half of the weekend. Gianna, hows the drive looking . Its busy this morning unfortunately darren i was hoping for friday light but a couple of spots to get to this morning. Making the ride south 101 into Mountain View. Stone road. Heres the update. Lanes are opening up slowly but surely. Only two left lanes are now blocked and this is for a crash involving a pretty large truck and a couple of other vehicles. So a lot of activity there. Looks like though theyre traying to push everything over to the shoulder and traveling through there you are going to notice the cms signs, 280 a good alternate route. Look at this. The Golden Gate Bridge really sacked in with some fog this morning. Visibility will be the issue as you commute into San Francisco. And b. A. R. T. Dealing with some issues this monomorning on the red line. No service. All right, g, the president of the United States wakes thumb morning at the fairmont hotel. Against his support of israels war in gaza.

Apparently of the home of a billionaire. The former ceo of yahoo Marissa Mayer is hosting that event in palo alto. In fact between 6,000. 100000. The biden teams know this is going to be a recordsetting time in term of raising dollars for this president ial election. The most important president ial election since perhaps 1860. You nother going to raise a lot of money. In the process recordsetting events and they come and and they drop in very quickly. And then try to get out with those checks. They want to set records. Thats because what matters in the california atm is money cash dollars. So after the receptions President Biden will make his way up north to seattle. For another fundraiser tonight at 7 00. President biden has traveled to the bay area by the way multiple times over the last year. Antiwar payments continue to call on universities to be transparent with any money they spend. All this while graduation is just days away. Our chopper over these three areas. Uc berkeley and sfsu and stanford. But despite all of the conversation, University Officials are doing here. What theyre not doing in other parts of the country. Commencement ceremonies here will still go on. We know as of now berkeley, stanford and sf states ceremonies will remain on schedule. Now meanwhile as israels military pushes closer to rafah. Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is pushing back against President Bidens warning to not launch their invasion. Biden says he wants to avoid mass casualties. And paused bombs last week. Netanyahu said quote, if we need to stand alone we will stand alone. I have said that he said, if necessary, we will fight with our fingernails. Gianna . All right, time now for a look at this mornings other top stories. Its official. Oakland International Airport is changing its name. Let get a live look right now at the port of oakland where commissioners voted unanimously to rebrand it as San Francisco bay oakland International Airport. But the fight isnt over. Theyre countersuing San Francisco after they filed a lawsuit against them for the name change. City attorney david chiu said it infringes on the trademark. The call letters will stay the same. The name change will cost about 150,000. Now the main reason for that is to update the signage. But that estimate apparently doesnt include possible legal fees. The San FranciscoUnified School District is facing a budget crunch. The district is projecting a 420 million budget deficit within the next year. According to the San Francisco examiner, theyll need to lay off more than 300 employees and close down schools. The district tells us its taking steps to repain financially secure for now.

A discussion is set for today in sacramento to talk about proposals to help close in monegap. Schools could be hard hit. The meeting is set for 11 00 a. M. And well continue to deep you updated with that outcome. Reed . All right, listen up folks. Depending on who you are and how you live, your pg e rates are about to change. Amanda hari breaks it ail down. How many households are going to see a significant bill increase . Almost 4 million households. Reporter a controversial change to utility bills. A new fixed fee after many customers have already been hit by a series of rate hikes. Josh plaisted is the president of flagstaff research, a company that creates and distributes products in the energy market. He also rents an apartment. He says hes the type of person who will be negatively impacted by this change. A significant amount of renters are going to pay more. A significant amount of Single Family detached homes high usage are going to pay less. Reporter on thursday, the California PublicUtilities Commission approved a two part strategy to restructure residential utility bills. For many pg e customers, it would be a fixed charge of about 24. But for low income households, theyll pay either 12 or 6. People are already paying these fees to some extent, but it was charged based on kilowatt use. Basically, you paid for the energy you used and theres no fixed charge. It was like pulling up to a gas pump and you paid by the gallon. So now theyre proposing putting in place a fixed charge thats unavoidable and you have to pay it. Reporter plaisted says for people with smaller spaces who are not low income like him, theyll likely end up paying more for the fixed rate because they dont use as many kilowatts. Its the big energy users who will benefit most. I live here in a just under 1,000 square foot apartment and my bill would go up 225 a year. The house in rock ridge would break even and the larger house, say go out in walnut creek with a swimming pool, something that uses twice the bay area average, would be saving a little almost 400 a year. Reporter but uc berkeley professor and the director of the Schools Energy institute, severin borenstein, says its not a rate increase and the amount the average bill will go up is a lot less than 24. For the average customer, it who the not on the low income program, its going to be an increase of about 3 per month. Reporter borenstein says this fee wont be going towards one thing, but many. Paying for things like the extra investments we need to make to underground lines. And to insulate lines. And to put on the fast Trip Technology that will shut off a power line as soon as it has a fault. So it doesnt start a wildfire. Reporter it can also be used for research and development of new technologies. Plaisted says in general, a flat fee is a way of encouraging people to use more kilowatts of electricity. Like by purchasing electric vehicles or an induction cook top as opposed to using fossil fuels. We used to actually encourage conservation by giving discounts for lower energy use. Were flipping that on its head and now saying were going to give you a discount for increased energy use. Reporter pg e says the fixed fee will go into effect in early 2026. Time right now 6 11. Tougher than you think to recycle the right way. How one bay area city is flipping the script to help the people find the right answers. Gianna, not one but two different flight markets celebrating aapi culture and heritage. Coming up, were [announcer] our world is constantly changing, and every day Stanford Medicine advances our understanding. Our World Class School of medicine and adult and Childrens Health systems work together, expanding what we know and sharing what we discover, to make breakthroughs both possible and accessible. Stanford medicine, advancing knowledge, improving lives. gentle music tonight you have the chance to see San Francisco come alive with not one but two night markets within the aapi community. So weve already seen the popularity of the night market in chinatown this year. Now bhangra and beats is back celebrating south asian culture with local vendors ands and food and of course dance. Shawn chitnis is live at downtown San Francisco this morning with a preview of whats to come for the festivities and its going to be a lot of fun. Shawn. Reporter hey gianna, absolutely. Theyve got a Great Program and its going to be really impressive to see them take over this space right here. This is battery and clay. Right now, not too busy but in just a little bit of time, it will pick up as a main thoroughfare to get on to the bay bridge. So they are proud of the fact that they get to take over this part of downtown. They did it last year, three times. Altogether 30,000 people came through for the program and they will do it four different times this year beginning with one tonight. Vicki virk loves every chance she gets to share her culture. Shes been performing and choreographing for two decades in the bay area. Bhangra is a folk dance from northern india and one of the styles she likes to showcase. I love it because its really beautiful and its very graceful. Its colorful. Reporter this particular dance is a combination of folk dances from punjab, india and will be a part of the bhangra beats night market on friday. Back for a second year in 2024, it will take over three city blocks in downtown San Francisco for a night every two months until november. You know, this is a beautiful city. And yeah, its had its down time and obviously every city goes through that. But San Francisco is truly a remarkable city. Its full of community and culture and music and arts and i think if theres anything that can bring life back to something, its the arts. Reporter and on its first night of the year, it will share the stage with another night market in chinatown. Part of a growing trend to get more people into San Francisco with special events. I think theres space for all of it and i think its amazing to see arts and music being celebrated and then just, you know, bringing people back into the city of San Francisco to remember that this is a very vibrant, beautiful city that we all live in. Reporter vicki hopes people will come for the music, food and live performances. Celebrating not just her south asian heritage, but cultures from around the world in honor of aapi heritage month. You can even join in on a Group Dance Lesson during the night market. Dances that she says captures the mood of the night. Joy and celebration. The world needs music. The world needs the arts. The world needs community. And the world needs culture. Reporter true to the traditions shes bringing to battery street on friday night. So it starts at 5 00 p. M. Right here in downtown San Francisco. It will go until 10 00 p. M. And then of course whats so cool, this is really just a coincidence. It is falling on the same night as the be chinatown fight market that starts at 5 30 and you know, now that the sun is up gianna, im looking. I think you almost might be able to see one night market from the other. So very cool. Very exciting but also important to note that this is going to create quite the mix within the city tonight. Yeah, and i mean, it might create some traffic troubles as well. But what a great opportunity for the community to come together. And two different areas. Shawn, thank you for that. And you know lets talk about the traffic implications of this. Just to kind of give you perspective and shawn is right. As i zoom in here, those night markets are very close tooth each other and in fact you can walk to each of them and enjoy both of them if you choose to. The first one battery street and that will be closed between sacramento and washington. Grant avenue where the chinatown night market will be will be closed between california street and pacific avenue. With that said maybe consider using Public Transit. Maybe some reroutes from muni as well. Always use b. A. R. T. Too. Speaking of though tonight we have a giants game at oracle and first pitch 7 30. Lot of people headed out there as well. As they take on the reds. Here at home. And it gets pretty busy in and around the embarcadero and king street. Golden gate bridge, look at that fog. Just kind of hanging out this morning for commuters working their way over into San Francisco. And speaking of all that fog, darren is in today for jessica. And you know, for a friday, darren not really busy out there on the roadways and i know were going to have warmer temperatures but always really surprised to see the fog but not this gorgeous view as we take a look at the sun coming up over the bay. That fog you were looking at on the Golden Gate Bridge is hugely important in terms of how things start changing today. If you are anywhere near the coast, the bay, the water, today you start cooling down. Weve got a little bit of an increase in the onshore flow today. And what started last night was something called a southerly surge. That is usually how you break heat waves around here. Not to say were in a heat wave right now. But you are definitely well above average over the last few days. What started yesterday afternoon out here along the coast was a little bit of the marine layer sta
