Were going to take a look at what theyre doing. And the fbi is keeping an eye on disinformation as the midterm elections are approaching. Well take a peek at the security concerns for this election. How the president s decision to pardon people for Marijuana Possession could impact the country. Im Hannah Brandt in washington. Ill have that story coming up. With midterm elections fast approaching, the fbi is warning about possible election interference. We spoke with a security agent about foreign influence and disinformation campaigns. Kron fours justine waltman reports. I believe that the 2022 elections here in the state of california will be the safest in state history. A confident statement from the San Francisco office of Cyber Security on the upcoming midterm elections. The fbi has election crime coordinators who work to protect the sanctity of our elections. Theres no credible cyber threats, no credible Cyber Attacks that were seeing right now. Nothing that isnt out of the ordinary. However, we are anticipating that Foreign Countries and i want to highlight 3 of them. Russia, china and iran. Their governments may be trying to sow disinformation to interfere with our elections. The number one place that will happen, social media platforms where the disruptors will try to discredit the American Democratic process. Agents without accounts that spread false or inconsistent information and share that intelligence with the social media platforms, those companies then decide how to handle the fake content. We provide them with information. Ministry is attached, they can develop algorithms. They can use their detection methods to find like the russian trolls are the chinese trolls and then what they typically do is they take down the accounts and they take down the misinformation. The fbi wants voters to check where their news is coming from. Make sure its from a credible source. And report anything they see suspicious either online or at the voting polls in the newsroom. Im justine waldman. Kron. 4 news. Time now is 5. 16, talking about the weather and the blue angels and the blue and big deal they say. A Million People might over the course of this fleet week. A Million People coming into the city and all eyes are going to be looking up, john, will they be able to see anything this thats the huge question, right . Because weve had these foggy mornings in every time weve seen one of them. Its like, oh, no. Is this a sign of things to come on friday and saturday and consistently of seen those clearing skies during afternoon hours. Yesterday, it stayed pretty foggy at the coast. Some neighborhoods of San Francisco even held onto the fog, but importantly, so are right around the air show. It cleared out really nicely. Now, the good news about this morning is even though we do have some fog expressed really into the bay and its very spotty. So some neighborhoods of San Francisco are already clear while others are holding on to that dense marine there, which is really pushed in, its going to burn off fairly quickly and should set us up for a good dose of afternoon. Sunshine similar to yesterday, if not even clear and good news for fleet week as well as the air show itself. Right now, we dont really have a lot going on. A couple of missed the spots near the coastline, especially burn off occurring fairly quickly afternoon hours. Look good to go tomorrow morning. Another dose of fog followed by some more afternoon clearing. Now the big picture shed set up does show signs of some big changes around the corner. This High Pressure ridge may be in place for now. Thats about to be nudged out allowing us quite the cooldown into next week for inland areas. So today and tomorrow are really the last of the 90s will be seeing for a while, not the 90s. For San Francisco, though, just some upper 60s to low 70s for fleet week activities 60s at the coast and mostly 70s along the bay shore.

Well, valais in the low 80s, some upper 70s for you towards mill valley, down around timber on in sausalito to if you want to catch the air show from that perspective, looking ahead, temperatures will gradually cool down after tomorrow. Look at our inland areas from the low 90s to just the low 80s by early next week, bayside cities will remain pretty solidly in the 70s coastal areas, not leave in the 60s. Great job. Thank you for that. Little a few accidents out there to tell you about like this one westbound 5. 88, gilman street in berkeley. So were tracking that and you can see the delays along 80 the year and also little further over in danville. This is southbound 6. 80, just north of el cerro boulevard.
