We hope that was not what it was. If it was, ll deal with it.

It was easy to see the rope as a message that harkens back to the nations but darkest history. I feel like they are trying not to acknowledge the issue.

Checking in on the weather, you did notice the heat up today i imagine. Especially in land, some areas as much is 10 degrees warmer than yesterday at this time.

Inland, temperatures in the mid 90s. Tomorrow they have gotten to the mid90s today and some places. This is the differential between yesterday and today so 13 degrees warmer in santa rosa. It feels warmer in santa rosa, it is 13 degrees warmer, san jose is 8 degrees warmer and these are the temperatures that provide that difference. 94 in fairfield.

The overnight lows, lingering or morning lows lingering in the upper 60s, low 70s. Five along the coast is not a thing right now. I mentioned in the 4 00 forecast, a lot of it has to do with the sea surface temperatures that are really warm right now. We usually have if you remember geography class, upwelling along the coast where you have prevailing northwest winds. The valley is hot, the ocean is cool and the cool air flows and it would not result in a warm valley. That is a low in the value and a thermal high in the ocean and the air flows from ocean to land. When it does that all summer, it blows the warm water away from the top and allows the cold water to come up and that is called upwelling. When you have consisted winds, you get upwelling. You get much cooler seaford sea surface temperatures, and lots of fish which is why the fishing is so good. When that is not happening, we are not seeing significantly strong westerly winds, the outflow stops in the sea temperatures warm. Some areas are running up to 60 degrees. Most of them are 58 to 59 degrees. That makes it tougher for infection fog to form so a whole lesson santa rosa forecast, 92 for a daytime high. That happens around 3 pm.

By law, employers cannot fire or harass workers who serve on a jury but as federal criminal professor dave says theyre not required to pay their staff. Some dont get paid at all.

It exactly, it is but that is a hardship. It is. What about the family members. Have any of them spoken out .

We did see a few family members show up today, probably wondering im a we have a long break ahead of us, lets see if they might hurry up with the verdict but it is clear that the jury is not rushing to judgment, not fast forwarding just because of the long break ahead so the family is grateful for that.

So far this year, there has been a dramatic drop in the acr burned in california. I have no idea. I guess it has been hot so im not really sure. Coming up next, why there is plenty of praise to go around. It is warming up. We noticed it today. You will notice it the next couple of days. Tomorrow should be the warmest day of the week, details after the break. We have no information tonight on the number of wildfires in california so far this year. It turns out the number is way down and ktvus tom baker explains why. On this day last year, california had already lost 900 72 square miles to wildland fires. This year, we have lost just under 80 square miles so far. That is an astonishing 92 less scorched earth than last year. Why . I have no idea. I guess it was, its been hot so im not sure. Experts say several key issues made the difference. First and foremost . We had a really large rainfall year, a lot of snow and a very late into the season. Right now, the massive snowpack is winding down which kept a lot of land and visitation in the mountains virtually fireproof. Down below, rivers and streams have kept the vegetation very moist, minimizing fires. Minute because we have had so few fires this spring and summer so far, that has given fulltime and seasonal firefighters a lot more time to clear brush and debris. That means when those hot winds come, later on, there should be less severe fires and fewer of them. This year, we have been lucky that we have had those resources down here and we are, in fact, putting those folks to work fighting fires before they can start down here. I would hope that the state or whoever is in charge is making the appropriate concessions to keep us all safer from the fires. As never before, we have had the time and state money to for clinical critical clearing efforts statewide. 35 priority projects going on statewide right now as a part of the governors executive order. Finally, a lot of home are pretty owners are paying attention to the term defensible space. Weve seen overwhelming kind of engagement with communities and organizations to figure out ways that everybody can a, reduce fire risks but b reduce the chances of fires. Everything we could do before the wind starts blowing and humidity gets into the single digits, everything we do is important. All that said, consider this. Traditionally, the large and destructive fires receipt, the Oakland Hills and campfires, they , the dangerous winds in october and november. Thats the time we have to worry and from numerous files around here, i was in paradise on the fire, when it is windy, youre not stopping the fire. It doesnt matter, it is really, we have had a good season thus far because of rain and because of the cooler environment but we get into the fall and it is all about the wind and the wind is something we cant stop so we will be very cautious going into that and keep our fingers crossed. Sometimes you can get away with it. Ive been in fall before weve had offshore winds in such a way that it does not create the dire situation that we saw over the last couple of years so we will see how this goes but the pattern, this pattern recognition, the patterns repeat themselves. This is my 40th year in bay area weather so ive seen 48 setups going into the fall and they dont disappoint very often. They are almost always coming up with big win. You cant stop that. There are high clouds at the right now. What i just say . I just in what ive learned is that the fires, you can do whatever you want but when it is blowing 60 miles per hour, it doesnt matter what you do. That is kind of going to be the thing we have to concern ourselves with. 92 in concord. 89 in walnut creek, 89 in livermore. I guess there is the fog. I can to the cable right there on that tower. That is me with a 13, 1400 foot level. It is just below the top so we are seeing fog coming back in which is good news because we like seeing the fog and it will be around but it will not get far inland tomorrow because there is not a lot of fun but the result will be warmer. Daytime highs tomorrow in good mid90s even upper 90s. Look at the fog footprint tomorrow morning. About like this morning. It looks really similar. In the forecast highs tomorrow, it looks similar to today except the reds are little further west. That means in places like fairfield and vacaville, they will go maybe 97 or 98, pretty warm. 95 in vacaville, 88 in vallejo, 90 in napa and 95 in antioch. We could see upper 90s tomorrow. That is it. That should be the hottest, warmest day of the week and temperatures generally will be winding down as we go toward the weekend. It doesnt get colder cool. It just gets cooler. Heres the fiveday forecast and you can see it right there, julie haener and it is a good one in that the top tier numbers, it is warm but not like last week. It was out of control. It was outofcontrol. It was so warm. It was hot. It is hot but manageable. Last week we would you dealing with one of six or 103 had with these temperatures, it is pretty typical for this time of year. Going back to tom vacars piece, it is interesting the amount of acres burning so far are down in california but again, the key is, september and october. It really is and the firefighters will tell you that, too. We may have less acres burning this year but sometimes that doesnt tell the whole story. The fire in paradise burned a lot of acres but burned a lot of homes. A fire in the middle of nowhere doesnt burn a lot of acres.
