All right on the 1st alert weather now some of us will be feeling a warm up as we start off the week. Meteorologist darren peck is in the virtual view studio tracking our forecast. Daryn, the micro climates are in full effect. A are and theres kind of a battle going on right now, actually, liz, theres a little bit of offshore flow thats happening if youre inland, and then theres a little bit of onshore flow thats happening near the coast, and the result is where theyre meeting. Theres not much flow at all. So things are really stagnant out there. High pressure is in place keeping us relatively warm and as a result, it looks hazy out there were not really mixing this up much. Let me show you another vantage from oakland near the airport, looking back towards the city, you kind of see that inversion layer just kind of capping. Whatever hayes there might be quality is fine looking at air Quality Centers across the bay. Were good, but the visibility has gone downhill as a result of this pattern. The main impact from this, its going to feel warmer if youre inland, were really started warm up thats going to be felt across the next 2 days. Really. Heres another example of this. Thats the view today. On High Resolution satellite. We dont have any marine layer really, thats built in off the coast. Theres a little bit in the morning that builds in, but its very rare. You get such a Crystal Clear view off our coast. The marine layer has gotten pushed way down here and its for the most part clear, sunny and relatively warm. We wont see a whole lot building tomorrow, either. Maybe a little over the city and near the coast. But for the most part, it could be another very sunny day. And tuesday is going to be the warmest day of the whole 7 day forecast. And you can see those micro climates list was talking about going to be in the mid 80s tomorrow for some of our warmer inland valleys. Youre like low 80s today. Meantime, well be doing low 60s out here. For the coast and San Francisco should be near 70. Expect tomorrow to look identical to today as well. Sky is going to look hazy. As this pattern stays in place, but were going to start mixing this up by the weekend. Thats saturday. Look how different this is. By the weekend have come down in some cases as much as 15, or 20 degrees. Youre not getting out of the 60s for many inland valleys by saturday. And the marine layer will build back in by saturday. Thats the satellite today you dont see whats driving this until you look at the water vapor. And now you can see it. There is a trough right here. That just moved in across the entire west and that trough is kind of act. Like a plow, and its scoured out the marine layer. Look at everything is getting chased away. But by wednesday comes back now that looks different. That is our wednesday morning by 7 a. M. Its not going to be like a total gray out. This is not going to be a return of full force may gray in fact, for wednesday morning, its just like the interior of the bay. Were going to wake up with more marine layer will be a lot more off the coast. But what this does is it starts a stronger onshore flow, and this will start bringing the temperatures down for us by the time we get there, so if you look at it in the 7 day forecast, look at oakland, you can chop out in the mid 70s here. By saturday. Your down to 60. The clouds will start increasing even here in the city after doing 70 tomorrow. San francisco will be down in the upper 50s. By the time we get to saturday microclimates, really show this change low 80s here for the next few days, 68 for the north bay valleys by monday, same story story for san jose here in the south bay numbers on here showing you that and when we finish up the micro climates inland east bay doing that same deal. I think the beaches you probably dont notice much of a difference at all, except for 1 item, right now. Its a sunny day at the beach. Make the most of these because by the middle of the week well go back to more typical mayweather, where the marine layer will re establish itself off the coast and youll start to get more grace guys there. Thats where things stand for now, liz back to you. All right, darren. Thanks so much. This afternoon. Our Conversation Centers around the upcoming election now less than 6 months away. Can you believe that . We know california has historically been a blue state in president ial elections, but that didnt stop some of the biggest names in the gop from making their pitches to bay area voters at their convention this weekend are da lin was there partly for that 1. Former President Donald Trump may not win out the deep blue state of california come november. But he has a lot of supporters. At the california Gop Convention held in burlingame. Including ashley prahnk styles. Government, more people. Have confidence in the people. Trump heavy convention in that 1 of the keynote speakers is trumps daughter in law, eric trumps wife, lara trump focused solely on Election Integrity, because lets be honest, we can never repeat. 2020. Ever again. The new Republican National committee co chair hinted at what donald trump had said was a stolen election. Even though there is no evidence of that on november 5th, we will know decisively, donald trump will be our next president of the united states. Earlier on saturday afternoon. South dakota governor Christie Noem praised trump for his leadership. Im very good friends with him. I talked to him all the time, she highlighted her states success. And how her policies align with trump. We took a very different pathway through covid than what your governor did. South dakota was the only state in the country that never once closed a single business. We never once mandated masks or vaccines. You took japs at california governor gavin newsom. President joe biden and even former president barack obama. Talked to if there ever was anybody who could talk smoothly and lie at the same time it was president obama. Nome was set to be a possible running mate for trump until a dog shooting. Controversy. I think she would make a great running mate, tough gal. She makes it tough decisions, and thats what we need. One prominent republican who was a no show at the convention was senate to candidate steve garvey. Some political experts that hes trying to distance himself from trump to win over independent voters. If youre going to bat, 1 out of the park, you should be here because were the people that are doing the batting for you, betty, get yourself in. Some moderate republicans. Say they understand the strategy. For the Party Leadership is a balancing act. There are men the very, very strong trump supporters. And then there are people who are skeptical. They have to accommodate all sides, and its really like walking on a tightrope garvey supporter and a trump supporter. The resident who grew up in the bay area, says california is going in the wrong direction. She wants to see changes in policies that will reduce crime. And improve public schools. Theres something wrong here. Its not. Its not family friendly. Its not business friendly. To give you a sense of how rarely california elects republicans to statewide offices. Is the last time california elected a republican. Senator was pete wilson, back in 1988. And that was the 2nd of his 2 terms before resigning to become governor in 1991. As for the top 2 president ial candidates themselves President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, were on the campaign trail over the weekend, president the biden spoke directly to black voters during commencement speech in atlantas morehouse college, and he addressed the issue over shadowing his appearance. His handling of the war in gaza. Your voices should be heard. And i promise you, i hear them. Actions that matches words. Thats what we know his words are sincere. Some silent protesters even turned their backs on the president as he spoke, the president moved on to michigan, where he attended and end up naacp event last night. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump also made overtures to black voters over the weekend. While addressing the national rifle. Associations annual meeting in dallas. Weve got to get gun owners to vote. I think youre rebellious punch. But lets be rebellious and vote this time, okay . Yeah. Today. Mr. Trump was back in a manhattan courtroom where his former attorney, michael cohen, was back on the witness stand in the so called hush money trial. Cohen admitted to stealing 30,000 from the trump organization. Cohen is the prosecutions last witness sending the case then over to the defense. The judge says he expects closing arguments next week. Still ahead. Weve talked live with the snow misstate Political Science professor about the president ial race so far and each candidates priorities. Moving forward. Plus the bay area mayors who could be facing challenges of their own stay with us. Were talking politics this afternoon. And we could see some shifts. In bay area. Leaders. After the november election. And makovec is joining me now with those political headlines high end it is a tense fight for control of city hall in San Francisco mayor london breed officially kicking off her re Election Campaign and while her competitors are focusing on whats wrong with the city, she wants voters to stay the course. What were trying to do is keep up the momentum of the work that we have already done to get to this. We didnt just clean up the streets for apec. Were not just cleaning up the streets for reElection Campaign. We are making sure that were doing everything we can, as we always have to leave the the city, to manage through challenging times. It is a hot race to replace her notable candidates include former supervisor and interim mayor mark farrell, philanthropist Daniel Laurie board of supervisors president aaron peskin and supervisor asha safaa. Yay. He there was supposed to be a Mayoral Debate today, but it was canceled after peskin, laurie and breed dropped out. They were apparently put off by farrells connections with the debate organizer together. Sf in a statement the nonprofit called the 3 candidates decision to pull out of the debate. Political theatrics. But 2 of the candidates mayor breed and supervisor aaron peskin are holding an event tonight called a moderated. Conversation. That is tonight at 6 at mannys in San Francisco, taking a live look at oakland, where a push to recall mayor sheng thao continues organizers say they have collected around 30,000 signatures, which is above the 25,000. They need to get a recall on the ballot. But they say theyre going to wait until they have collected around 40. Signatures to make sure their bid will stand. Some oakland residents blame mayor thao for the city spike in crime last year. Overall crime is down nearly a 3rd from 2023. But the number of robberies is up speaking of recall elections, the potential ouster of District Attorney pamela price is going to be on the november general election. Ballot recall supporters say shes too soft on crime this past week, Alameda County supervisors chose not not to call a special election for that campaign, but instead wait for november. There have been questions over whether price might sue the county over how it handled the recall. Signature gathering drive, but so far no confirmation on that list. Right . An thanks so much. With the election less than 6 months away. The president ial candidates are hitting the ground to garner support. Joining me live now is Sonoma State UniversityPolitical Science professor david mcewan. Professor. Thanks for being with us well, good afternoon. Its a pleasure to be with you. All right. So what do you make of President Biden and former president Trumps Campaign strategy . At this . Well, if you look at their strategy so so far, youre seeing a couple different things. One is your seen that joe biden has to put together whats called a base plus election. He has to get out the democratic base. He has to grab or if you will push a little bit higher than that to get base plus for donald trump. Hes kept out at about 4647. 47 . So that means he has to have whats called a conversion election. Hes got to convert some of those voters because of that overall number. Obviously, its you get to to 70. Thats the place you need to be 276. Liberal votes. But if youre tapped out at 4647 and youre in a conversion campaign, then you have to go negative. So expects negative. Thats not a surprise for your viewers, but nonetheless we have 93 0 people who are eligible, devoted to vote in 2016, who didnt show up at the polls, so that will be an important element again for joe biden, though its a base plus election so different strategies moving forward one reason that you see such early debates slated for next month. Yeah, i want to talk about those debates because its interesting that they have committed now. Nothing is official. Quite yet for to 2 different debates. Im curious how you feel like that. Helps or hurts their campaigns. Yeah, i mean, look. June 27th that 1st debate, is an important date because thats the last date by 5 00 pm that california sets its ballot so in the lead in here youre talking about, you know, potential recall of a dea. Youre talking about a ballot measures and things going to the ballot. Were going to be a huge set of ballot measures that will spin up turnout in california. And across the country. You had abortion rights measures qualify in 2 states over the weekend. Colorado and south dakota. And youre going to see this even across the country potential. Another 4 or 5 states, so that means that this is about what potentially could be the largest turnout election in american electoral history. It is the most important election since 1860. But lets see what that actually spends out because usually we entered the summer doldrums and nothing happens. The months of june all the way to labor day. Well, theres something very big happening right now, and thats trump campaigning while the hush money trial continues. How are his legal battles impacting his run right now . Do you think there actually helping him . Well, i mean, look, the campaign from the courtroom. It doesnt seem to be affecting his base. No surprise there. If theres a conviction that will have some impact on those marginal swing voters, those purple people that we often talk about, however, there has been a push. For those kinds. Of pesty. Nikki haley voters that have remained in gop primary similar to what democrats have had with Younger Voters of those voters had voted uncommitted, for example. In michigan so each party has a base problem and an enthusiasm. Problem coming down to just a small set of voters and a few small set of counties not even states. That will decide the president ial election in november. Now, before we go, i want to talk about a congressional special election. 20th. 20th district special election to replace former House SpeakerKevin Mccarthy now republicans vince fong and mike wardrobe. Oh, in the front in the runoff tomorrow. This is 1 of californias few solid red districts. Republicans hold a narrow majority in the house. Only 4 seats and theres 5 vacancies right now how significant is the outcome of this particular election . All right, so you nailed it right there. And heres why look, this is a red district. Its no surprise that a republican is going to win. Its probably going to be vince fong. He got 42 and 2 previous elections here, but it also brings republicans to 218 seats with those 5 vacancies. Republicans are sitting at 217. So to 18 gives them the magic majority number that they need if they stay whole on votes, theyre not staying whole on votes. Thanks to Marjorie Taylor green or folks like paul goes. Czar and and others that have been kind of tilting at windmills within the republican caucus, beginning to to 18 matters, so tomorrow, may not matter in terms of california. And the balance of congressional congressional delegation or with republicans representing bakersfield. Its a big deal for mike johnson and nationally, so thats what makes that race particularly important, all right, well be watching professor david mcewan from sonoma state. Thank you so much. Always a pleasure. Thank you very much pleasure to be with. All right, still ahead, sparking change in their communities. How Asian Americans are commanding attention from im getting vaccinated with pfizers Pneumococcal Pneumonia vaccine. So am i. Because im at risk for Pneumococcal Pneumonia. Come on. I already got a pneumonia vaccine, but im asking about the added protection of prevnar 20®. If youre 19 or older with certain chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, copd, or heart disease, or are 65 or older, you are at increased risk for Pneumococcal Pneumonia. Prevnar 20® is approved in adults to help prevent infections from 20 strains of the bacteria that cause Pneumococcal Pneumonia. In just one dose. Dont get prevnar 20® if youve had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. Adults with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. The most common side effects were pain and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, fatigue, headache, and joint pain. I want to be able to keep my plans. I dont want to risk ending up in the hospital with Pneumococcal Pneumonia. Thats why i chose prevnar 20®. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about the Pfizer Vaccine for Pneumococcal Pneumonia. As we continue to talk this afternoon. About the lead up to the the november election. We want to recognize a large part of the electorate that until recently wasnt considered a major part of the political landscape. Asian americans who make up more than 30 of the population in San Francisco alone when ap i hate and attacks an elderly seniors ramped up Community Members rallied at the same time, they felt their concerns were being ignored biden District Attorney chester boudin. And in 2022. The power of the asian vote led to the charge to recall him now in that same year. Asian americans frustrated with the direction of San Francisco education system. Sent a clear message by recalling 3 school board members. Education and Public Safety were 2 things that the Community Rallied behind. What happened was we succeeded in winning. Historical recalls against for elected officials now candidates from mayor london breed to those looking to win her seat are showing up at Asian American functions. According the Asian American vote and behind the scenes their Campaign Teams have become more diverse as well. Very intentional that they will look for chinese speaking staffers who who are familiar with the community to do the community outreach. Other candidates are taking it even further, like danny sauder, whos running for district 3 supervisor, which includes chinatown. Hes been learning cantonese and is showing off his speaking skills at some events. And on the peninsula asian communities will play a big role in the hot leaking. Contested race to replace congresswoman anna eshoo, the district includes parts of san mateo and santa clara counties, which are about 33 and 41 per Asian American respectively. Well be right back.
