As far as what caused it . Well, thats still under investigation. But in the meantime, they had to shut it off. They did not make any repairs and because they have not made any repairs yet. That means the nearby homes and they still dont have a number of how many homes and people impacted. They are not with watt without water. They are without water for the immediate future as east bay.

So this is half a half dome right here where conditions are still a little bit snowy up there in the very top of those elevations in Yosemite National park. But there is going to be some rapid melt going on these next few days as we achieve some of the warmest temperatures of the season so far and not long after all that recent snowfall. Speaking of snow, a massive system actually having a big impact on the northern rockies. A lot of late season snow up in idaho, wyoming and montana. That same system is actually sparking up some offshore winds, our direction across the bay area. These next several days today, its mostly a northerly wind. That is whats resulting in these high wind advisories that we do have in solano, napa and sonoma counties as well as or gale warnings out of the north for much of the coast as we move into tomorrow, thursday and friday, though, we are going to be looking at winds now out of the north and east and thats going to transport a lot of hot, dry air out towards the coastline.

Some spots that are in the low 80s today will be getting close to 90 degrees in the next few days. So this is a quick change of pace and definitely some of the warmest step we felt in a while. So get back to those cooler weather habits like getting outside during your Morning Hours and trying to enjoy the cool while weve got it temps tomorrow, friday and saturday are going to be our warmest of the forecast with near 90s inland, if not getting to the 90s in some spots to even some 80s along the bayshore 70s all the way out to the coast.

Government after President Biden signed a law to ban the app unless the Chinese Owned Company sells itself to us company kron fours. Catherine heenan has more. Were in some very unusual territory. The u. S. Government has passed a law that effectively gives it the right to take away one of the most popular social media apps in the world in arguing against the new law. Tiktok says its app is an important avenue for expression. Pointing out that more than 170 Million People in the u. S. Use. It roughly half the country. It says that by taking away the government is infringing on our First Amendment rights. Meantime, is there really a significant Security Threat posed by tiktok . What i think is interesting here is that the for the last few years now the government keeps saying there is a National Security concern with tiktok and weve heard this now under republican and democratic president s and in both cases, we have not gotten the details, right . The government has not made its case to the American Public about why this hugely popular app should be banned. It just teams, gesturing and National Security. And i think thats part of why this case is going to be so fascinating. There were renewed calls to ban tiktok after the october 7th hamas attack. Some users saying more antisemitic contact was showing up. Others the fallout from a trial could reach far beyond tiktok. One of the things that tiktok makes the case about in its. Filing against the government. Is that a number of other social Media Companies and apps in general would need to be banned under these rules that the government has set out effectively it saying that if youre going to treat us all fairly, which, you know, the constitution says equal protection under the law. Then its not going to just be tiktok tickets band. Its going to be a lot of stuff. And i think that is going to be an interesting part of the debate as well. If the law does not go away, he ensure thanks tiktok would just leave the country. No sale. But many would be surprised if this does not end up before the supreme court.

So weve got crop Charles Clifford with a closer look. Last week, San Franciscos land use and Transportation Committee advanced a plan to close most of whats known as the great highway extension between slowed skyline boulevard for decades.

In closing, this portion of the great highway has been under consideration ever since in place of the roadway. The city wants to build a network of trails a plaza and possibly a staircase leading down to the beach. But the plan is not without problems. That would need to be addressed for one. The main entrance to the San Francisco zoo is along this section of the great highway. If it closes a smaller entrance near 47th avenue would need to be redesigned. All right.

Lot of snow to the north and east of us as part of this low pressure area over the northern rockies, that same low is actually interacting with the sure. High pressure ridge and resulting in the potential of some pretty strong offshore winds in the days ahead of us today. Its a northerly breeze pushing into the bay area enough so that some of the north bay mountains and the delta are affected by a high wind advisory in some spots along the north coast in particular are affected by a kill warning. But as we work our way into tomorrow and friday, winds will transition to a northeasterly breeze. Those dry offshore winds, warming things up all the way to the coastline, 60s to 70s and as seth and at the coast today, this is warm but getting warmer coming tomorrow.
