So justine mayor breed calls this a tough love approach that still rooted in compassion, yet shifting towards more accountability. The Human Services agency that oversees the Financial Assistance program explains that this applies only to single adults between 18 and 65 years old. And right now about 5200 people are receiving the Cash Payments anywhere between 10700 per month. But at this time, people qualify for that money by self declaring that they are suffering from Substance Abuse disorder. So the mayors plan would change a few things. It would require people to be screened to prove their addiction to drugs. That process has yet to be determined and they would have to get into treatment. Mayor breed says that far too many people are refusing available help and were dying from drug overdoses. So its time for this new approach. It should not be. More. Convenient to get access to drugs and it is to get access to treatment and what were trying to do with a number of our changes and initiatives that i realize art habit controversial. Were trying to get people into treatment. So for this to pass, there needs to be a majority vote in favor.

Santa rose about 61. 100s see these numbers there. You know, around a 10th of an inch or less in all other so that was the stories we started the day now. Were looking out for a pretty nice afternoon where were going to have an evening with a little bit of patchy fog thats going to roll and some sunshine tomorrow. Temperatures a bit warmer. And then as we look ahead, there is a chance, a very slight chance of a little offshore wind. Let me show you why its because the set up were going to happen over the next couple of days are pretty quiet. You can have some pretty nice weather and then you start to see this low pressure system tracking down to the inside of california. Its called an inside slider. And that happens. Its light to the inside of california lines up with this High Pressure off the coast. That creates a bit of a gradient which can produce a little offshore wind now not locked in on this yet, but we know were going get a little bit of something coming our way. So keep an eye on and fire season. Of course, we want to make sure were ahead of that with any offshore wind. But heres that system as it rolls in. And it looks like as we get into the weekend, maybe a little rain for the sierra and then as we move into saturday, notice even a few snowflakes possibly falling in parts of the central sierra, i know scares. We happy to see that. But again, for us, it would be the wind. That would be the concern. I would keep an eye on that next couple days and well talk about it as we go throughout the week. Current temperatures, 67 in San Francisco, you can see some nice 70s out there. 79 conquer 78 livermore, san jose about 72 degrees.

We know or have heard that individuals have shelter somewhere within our system, but they choose to maintain a tent on the streets. In other instances when they turned us down, there are different reasons. But we also hear that their attorneys have advised him to turn it down during this litigation. The coalition has denied advising anyone to decline shelter. He says people refusing housing. Its a narrative that the city has been pushing from the start.

Truckers against Autonomous Vehicles held a Southern California rally last week ahead of the governors veto of Assembly Bill. 3. 16, it means human drivers wont be required to be on board selfdriving trucks, unions and critics claim automation is not only dangerous.

Violent drug cartels are manufacturing and moving fake bills designed to look exactly like brand name drugs. But republican lawmakers say the Biden Administration isnt doing enough to stop the illegal drugs. The numbers are going up. They went up to 111,000 last year from 109,000 virginia. Republican senator Shelley Moore capito says President Biden needs to be tougher on the mexican government. We need to put pressure on mexico. To discontinue to disrupt the cartels to be able to stop that flow of those chemicals. Capital was also calling on enforcement to do more to crack down on the legal drugs. It just has to be literally an all out attack both on the supply side. On the demand side reporting in washington, Reshad Hudson. A pilot and his student are in Critical Condition after their small plane crashed into a soccer field in los angeles. Lets see what happened here. I think that feel. And i want to just a mess. So this happened yesterday afternoon. The student who was a woman is believed to be in her 30s and she was pulled out of the plane by 2 people nearby.

Its also the harvest moon. Historically, the harvest moon signals to farmers to start gathering up those summer crops. And this years harvest moon will also appear bigger and brighter because its also a supermoon and the supermoon happens when a full moon is at its closest point of orbit to earth. So experts say that stargazers should check this out. But because if you miss this one, your next chance for a supermoon will not be until the later half of next year, which would next fall, which kind of makes sense around september 18th of 2024 0st harvest moon. Fall time. Have you started noticing it, though . Because i know last night. Yeah, really bright last night, even though its not quite full yet. Its like you can tell getting its getting closer and facts of the orbit is circular, right . Not political. Thats why its kind of an unusual currents. When you get the full moon coinciding with close us now, its actually closest to us on wednesday. But the full moon doesnt occur until friday. So you will start to see that bright moon. It is kind of cool to see. And again, we had for this year, which is unusual considering we have to wait till next september for the next one. And also just for you, stargaze are out there. You go into jupiter, saturn and mercury will be visible as well with this one. So something to look forward to if you like to turn your eyes to the skies live look outside.

You can see about 70 degrees in berkeley. 81 in nevado. So warming up a little bit in the north bay. But for the most part, were still below average today and we have a little wind starting to kick up to. Were going to see this really pick up as we get later into the afternoon. So just be ready for that. But the skies are looking pretty blue out there for most of us that are not dealing with any of the marine layer that we see in some of the coastal areas. Still a little bit of rain happening in the Pacific Northwest for them. They have a little bit more to go with this system that we got a little rain from last night and theyve set some records. Eureka set a daily record. 1. 6, 7 inches in 24 hours downtown seattle, record from 19. 0, 1, for a daily record getting over an inch of rain and sea tac airport up there just under an inch.
