In recent years the relationship between the city of santa clara and the 49ers could be described as adversarial at the best. Can sometimes it was just downright ugly. Now, these three newcomers to the city council say they are not in the 49ers back pocket, but they do say that they believe the voters want them to change the tone of the relationship between the city and the team.

Other voters however say they are concerned about the 49ers outsized influence on the city and its elections. It is not a crazy, you know, company, so why would they spend money . They dont get something out of it . Where does this all leaves santa claras mayor and her agenda . Theres basically seven votes on the city council. The mayor and six members of the city council until recently the mayor consistently had four votes. Now she has lost two of those and so shes going to make any kind of, she wants to get something done, shes going to need to make a deal she no longer has a lock that would allow her to essentially push through her plans are priorities or agenda.

High temperatures today, below average. The warmest sponsors barely got above 60 degrees. Upper 54 San Francisco and Half Moon Bay and again come the last of the light on the horizon is now just a courtesy of the life of downtown San Francisco as opposed to any semi. Temperatures are going to drop off at the top of the hour, still most of the bay area was in the 50s and we got the 6 00 update we will see some 40s and the map already. We will end up down into the 30s and 40s by early tomorrow morning. It is hard to even say. 40s around the bay, just a moderating influence of the water a little further inland. The dry air is really going to cool off rapidly. Below freezing and into Solano County which is why you have a freeze warning in effect through 9 00 on tuesday morning.

The american forecast model brings some showers in already by thursday evening. The european model holds that off a little it. They do agree that that activity is mostly going to wind down by friday morning. Again, it looks like another little ripple in the atmosphere is going to drive down potentially during that rain by friday evening or hold it off saturday morning. I embedding more of it is going to fall friday night and before the sun comes up on saturday, that is a long way down the line so that is something we are going to keep an eye on with another chance of showers potentially dropping down towards us by sunday night into early monday, but this is where any similarities come to an end. There are some wider differences in how the forecast data is depicting that chance of rain next week so it is just something we will keep an eye on them we will keep you updated so you can adjust accordingly but any outdoor plans this weekend, saturday is looking pretty good after a few early showers. Temperatures running pretty close to normal in the extended forecast, low 60s for the most part around the bay with mid 60s further inland, we will have another update with how much rain we can see overall coming up at 6 00.

For the board of directors, there are three options. Layoffs, raising the bridge toll by 1. 25 and furloughing employees one day a week or raising the tolls two dollars with no layoffs. At this fiscal year if we choose one of these options we will fully spend out are in urgency.
