The president took shots at flake during a rally in phoenix back in august. Senator bob corker told reporters that the president should leave details of the tax plan to congress.

Winds out of the east at the moment are calm. This is going to help with our temperatures today. We are not going to see as much intensity with the winds. So the east winds will be around, around 3, 4 Miles Per Hour right now. Dry air is coming in. When its calmer, at least we wont see our humidity levels drop as much.

Coming from the east we are going to see more of that dry air, more of that heat coming in. By midday today, wind gusts may be around 5, 6, 7 Miles Per Hour. Its not going to be too significant. Yesterday we saw strong wind gusts across the oakland hills. Today it shouldnt be as intense. But look at this high pressure. Its still here and its still sending all that air from nevada right into california. So the heat is stick around. As long as this stays, we are unfortunately going to see temperatures in the 90s yet again. So 92 for santa rosa 91 in napa. Expected to be the high in San Francisco. Yesterday we reached 89 degrees. So this is above average. Take a look we should be in the upper 60s, low 70s this time of year. We are unfortunately are going to be about 20 degrees above average. 21 degrees above average for oakland today as we hit 89. When is the relief going to get here . Heres the weekend. High pressure will drop bringing us back to this onshore pattern bringing us coastal cooling.

Some people might feel were in their way, that the road is theirs when really the road is for everyone.
