An issue of separation of powers here at San Francisco city hall, they say. A big date to watch for here coming up is january 9th. Thats when the board of supervisors next meet. Thats also the deadline for candidates to file papers to run for the mayor of San Francisco. Right now thats being held by acting mayor london breed. She became mayor of San Francisco when the late mayor ed lee died on december 12th. That is per city charter. She was the board of supervisors president. That could hold until the election on june 5th, six months from now. But breed is still a supervisor representing the Western Addition area, hence the potential conflict of interest. Breed is expected to run for mayor in june but she is not committed yet. San francisco is a great city. Who wouldnt want tonight leader of such an amazing place . Whats most important is taking care of our city. And whoever is best to do the job. Im sure the voters will make a good choice. Reporter so Board Members are getting emails encouraging them to avoid a repeat basically of the situation that led to mayor lees reign as mayor. He was appointed interim mayor and then elected as an incumbent which critics say gave him an unfair advantage. Even if the board of supervisors does want to replace breed right now as acting mayor between now and the election, they will have a tough go of it because they need six votes and its going to be very difficult for them all to agree on somebody who should fill that position.

Some widespread rain is expected. Santa cruz, san jose, redwood city, concord, pretty much everyone will be impacted by the storm. It will last for a few hours and a break late tonight. Thursday looks dry. Maybe a light drizzle for thursday morning. Here we go thursday expecting about a. 25 total from that first round of storms and then thursday the break will occur, thursday night though 10 00 at night until friday, thats when the next storm arrives and that one could bring more rain across the north bay so possibly an inchin the north an inch in the north bay. 50s and 60s in the area today, cooler than yesterday but were still above average as far as our temperatures are concern.
