And so, but, you know, we burn that. Weve been so rainy lately. We did all the catchup work we kind of need to do to tell you the truth. So we can really celebrate this drier trend of weather ahead of us. Were looking out there at the east bay hills here. Absolutely looking gorgeous this morning, we do have one more round of rain to get through last night. We saw anywhere between a quarter of an inch to even 3 quarters of an inch of rainfall in the north bay hills. Obviously, things have cleared out since then. Couple of sprinkles hanging out still in the east bay hills. But for the most part, we are nice and dry tonight. As the sun goes down, we see another round of showers pushing through during our overnight hours. So Mother Nature is actually really nice to us giving us a nice dry and sunny day, we will see cloud cover increasing Late Afternoon. And theres your showers pushing back in as we do move into the evening hours tonight. Rainfall stays with us Early Morning commute tomorrow, but really fizzles out quickly after that into tomorrow afternoon, some of our inland areas may see thunderstorm development. Most of us in the bay itself are going to stay dry, though. And from wednesday through the weekend, it is nothing but sun and getting warmer and warmer. One more round of snow in the Sierra Nevada overnight tonight into tomorrow morning. Well see as much as a foot of snow up in our upper elevations of the sierra, mostly just a few inches. And then its also drying back out for the upper elevations up in the sierra. Todays daytime highs are actually going to be the coolest of this weeks forecast.

It is 8. 17, and happening today. We have hundreds of College Students from across the state. Theyre going to be rallying on the steps of the capitol. Theyre urging lawmakers to fund the Cal Grant Program to help reduce cooled after about 350,000 students. This is video from a rally back in february. Cal grant is the states Main Financial aid program. And last year lawmakers agreed to expand it, but only if theres enough money in the state budget. The Uc Student Association is leading todays demonstration and if funded about 137,000, californians would become eligible for cal grant. The rally is expected to start at 10 oclock this morning. Meanwhile, lawmakers recently introduced legislation that would require california schools to have armed officers on campus. Whenever students are present. Current state law allows School Districts to choose whether to hire armed officers or on Armed Security guards. The new proposal, though, would remove that option and would mandate that School Districts hire officers who are authorized to carry a loaded firearm to staff each campus. The bill is set to be heard in the Education Committee on march 18th. And if it becomes law, it would be state mandated which would mean this program would be reimbursed by the state to each district. 8. 18, right now. And guess what . You think your electric bills already high. Its going up again. Fortunately. Yeah, thats the decision from a california administration. Another increase on the way croppers dan kerman takes a closer look at how much your bill could go up by and when. If you think p g any bills are already high, get ready for another increase. The California Public Utilities Commission is okay to 12 month rate hike so pg and e can recoup a portion of the money that was spent for wildfire safety work. That means in late april early may average electric bills will go up about 3. 65 a month and gas bills will increase just over a dollar a month. It is absolutely unsustainable. Have double digit increase. 5th year after year. Martone with the Utility Reform Network says this latest increase. Is on top of the 13 rate hike that went into effect in january. Thats all bills go up. An average of 34 and 0. 50 a month. People who are thaen years retired fixed income. This able. These are the folks to get hurt the most. By these rate increases. These bill increases. And more than anyone else. They need a limit. Tony is hoping customers will pressure state lawmakers to cap eugenie increases since 2019. San francisco has been exploring another option having the San Francisco Public Utilities commission purchased the grid and take over the distribution of electricity in the city and county of San Francisco. Made a formal offer to pg and e to purchase their grid for 2. 5 billion dollars. They have told us its not for sale. And that the price is too low so far pg and e has and entertain the buyout. But San Francisco is pushing forward. We think we can provide the service at a more reliable costeffective rate. We are structurally advantaged as as a local government and providing that service under the local government model. In the meantime, another rate hike request is still pending before the California Public Utilities Commission. This one would see another 7. 2 hike in electric bills. Dan kerman kron. 4 news. Well, gas prices are surging nationwide hitting a 4 month high. The price hike could affect the u. S. Economys recovery from inflation. But gas prices usually do rise this time of year anyway because of higher demand. And switching to more expensive blends of fuel. Meantime, here in the bay area, gas prices are going up as well. No surprise there. The 0. 5 more expensive than they were last weekend. 30 more expensive than they were last month. The most expensive gas youll find is in san mateo county.

If you play golf, you know, these fees are steel, but they did have to raise them to make sure that course is in good shape because just last year the city is considering closing the Blackberry Farm golf course altogether because it wasnt making enough money. But the golfers banded together and they figured out a way to keep the course in shape and still keep it reasonable. The weekday fees are to range from 15 to 18 that that currently goes up by 2 kasia 20 and then the weekend fees are going up by one to 5. Still, as you know, if you golf, those are really reasonable fees. They think that will be enough to help keep the course in good shape. And that increase goes into effect. April 1st.

Rae 8. 30, and San Francisco. Theres a supervisor wants to revive a program that helps unhoused people return to their original home town. Yeah, this comes as the city has been seeing an uptick in People Living on the streets Michael Thomas live in the city for us with detailstion, he says that number has dwindled. Its called the homeward bound program. It was initiated back in 2005 by governor gavin newsom when he served as San Francisco mayor. The Program Provides people with both travel and Relocation Assistance with an end goal of cleaning the streets of San Francisco and allowing up to 1000 unhoused people to get the chance to go back to their hometowns and reunite with family supervisors not pay. He says in recent years the program is only assisted a few 100 people, which is why hes proposing changes today to make sure it gets used. Were now putting him back in the municipal for ensuring that the Human Services agency. Hes overseeing the program between itself and the department homeless port of housing. And they will be in your reporting. And so we feel like this way, theres no way it can be sidelined again, very in the bureaucracy or an afterthought. The past critics have said that this program is simply a wave sweeping the issue under the rug and pushing people out of the city. But the supervisor says thats not the case. I think the way to look at it is there are people on the streets of San Francisco before it was a program that was pushed, it was highlighted. It was part of the tool kit. Its been sidelined for the last 4, 5 years under this Administration Supervisor says the proposalsupervisor but have heard back as of yet. Thats the very latest reporting in San Francisco and Michael Thomas. I will send it back to you to live in the studio. Thank you, michael. All right.

And i kind of like stepped in front the car. But it starts or evidence or move out the way he just drives off through the gate. She says the Security Guard called for backup, but it took them too long to get there. When they called police, they told them to expect a long wait to marry. Like weve got 187 calls. Its a friday in oakland like that. That would be the last thing we come and check up why she found out from the guard that someone broke window hours before coming back to steal the car. But she wasnt notified. This just seems to be a reoccurring move because the guys that it was a 6 car that theyve taken since hes worked there at the parking garage. And you have been there for that law bagby says she used to go down to her car. Her lunch break, but a few months ago, Kaiser Center memo to their staff urging them not to leave during their shifts because of safety concerns.
