In San Francisco, Marianne Favro, nbc bay area news. All right. Just shy of 7 17. Lets check in with vianey arana with a look at our weekend forecast. A little bit cooler, you say, but sunshine. The best of both worlds. We have a nice combination today and then we do have have a warming trend again later. Lets enjoy the temperatures for today. 68 degrees on the peninsula. The trivalley at 60 degrees. About 65 degrees in the south bay. We can thank the cloudy skies to the marine layer hugging the coast especially for San Francisco but, of course, fran sfraps no stranger to the Early Morning fog. Now the good news the Doppler Radar showing off that marine layer to about 1,000 feet right now can be seen as of now all the way to the east bay, even parts of the north hills as well and hazier skies down in the south bay but it will burn off. Thats the good news because we havent been getting too much sunshine along the coast but today a better shot of that. Inland spots sunnier. Lets take a look at todays highs. If you notice were climbing down into the 80s but some spots, areas like east san jose, will be slightly warmer today. Thats because we have building High Pressure on the way and inland spots are hotter, areas like concord. Already a few degrees cooler than yesterday. Oakland a high of about 72 degrees. For the peninsula Half Moon Bay 62 degrees and we are expecting san mateo to reach 72. In San Francisco yesterday we had expected highs of 70s in the forecast. Today well be topping out into those 60s with nice, clear skies. I know we had plenty of fog into friday and saturday as well. If youre heading to the north bay we do have this building lowpressure system just offshore. What that might be able to do tonight and into tomorrow, the next couple of hours, maybe bring up the chance of a few sprinkles here or there in the further northern areas. So as of right now its not looking too promising but, of course, those onshore winds and the breezier conditions are expected to pick up later tonight. Keep that in mind. A quick remind er today is the last day for the Santa Clara County fair. If you are heading out, look at the icons. Sun block will be needed. By about 10 00 a. M. As you get ready to head to the fair, 70 degrees. And then santa clara, like i mentioned, cooler. Well stay in the upper 70s while youre out there early. So we will be climbing into the 80s. For the most part much more pleasant conditions out there. Hazy sun rise and dropping down into milder temperatures but some inland spots will be warming up nice willy into the 80s. Over the next seven days, a look at what i was talking about. We have this marine layer that will keep us in the 60s. And then if you notice between wednesday and thursday we start seeing an increase in those temperatures and really seeing an increase in temperatures for inland spots. We catch a little bit of a break from the 90s through tuesday and into wednesday, but by wednesday we have this building High Pressure and thats going to warm us right back up into the 90s. Its really making sure we dont forget its summer out here. Today is going to be a great day. Let me know how you plan on spending it via twitter or instagram. Kira, back to you.

I noticed there were not too many people of color in the room and definitely werent that many women either. Reporter though kimberly admits it wasnt until her daughter, kai, got interested in following in her footsteps that kimberly got serious about changing the landscape. And so she started black girls code, exposing young women of color to the opportunities in tech while at the same time teaching them the skills theyd need to take advantage of them. At the same time kimberly dreamed of it getting big. And since then it certainly has. This twoweek summer camp in oakland run by one of 11 black girls cochapters across the n country plus one in south africa reaching 8,000 girls. And what about the girl who inspired black girls code in the first place . Kai is now on staff mentoring the next generation. Thats whats exciting for me because its never going to stop. Im going to keep coming back to volunteer and to help out because its important and i know how important it was for me personally.

But Doppler Radar right now really showing off that fog. You can actually see the fog is spread all the way to the east bay and even further in some north bay spots as well and thats going to remain in there or at least spread across the area until the lunch hour when we begin to see that burn off. Hey, here is something you should probably check out this weekend. Weve been at the fremont festival of arts. Mike inouye was there yesterday and chris chmura. Im not sure if theyll be there today.

Almost singlehandedly determined welcome back. Few policy areas are as dear to californians as climate change. They have determined National Auto standards through applying for and receiving waivers on Greenhouse Gas emissions levels. Recently california won a new waiver from the Trump Administration, and bay area political analyst larry ston is here to explain why this recent victory is so important. Its the latest in a string of victories, obviously enough the state beating the National Government. We dont think of it that way. Transportation is critical in california. Its critical everywhere. It is the second largest source of Greenhouse Gas pollution, about 27 of the total. Only electricity exceeds it with 29 . The transportation component includes cars. We know that. Trucks, yeah. And planes. All of which use fassel fuel. But of these clearly automobiles, kira, are by far the largest contributors. So what has the federal government been doing to solve the Greenhouse Gas pollution problem or emission problem . Its an old problem, we know that. Periodically the Environmental ProtectionAgency Announces new gas mileage rules for cars and trucks in the coming years. Now the better the gas mileage, well, the fewer the Greenhouse Gas emissions. In 2011 during the Obama Administration the epa established a 54. 5 miles per gallon requirement by 2025. Thats a regulation that was and continues to be contested by the automobile industry. Still, regulations have brought success. According to the epa as of 2015 Greenhouse Gas emissions were reduced to 1995 levels this despite more cars, trucks, planes and ships this in use. Wow. Nevertheless the automobile industry, as we expect, is requesting an adjustment to that requirement which may well be gra granted by the Trump Administration as part of its effort to ease Emissions Regulations along with all the other regulations the trump a administration wants it to reduce. So california is kind of going in the opposite direction. How does california then if fit into the discussion . It seems the federal government is actually in charge of these policies not the state. It usually is. Thats what makes it so interesting. The federal government is in charge. But historically the Environmental Protection agency has allowed a state to apply for a waiver if that states requirements is even more strict, even more strict, than the if federal standard. Now california has received such waivers for automobile Greenhouse Gas emissions on 45 separate occasions. And, to many peoples surprise, was recently given assurance from the epa yes, the trump epa that the state could continue with its own rigorous rules, far more rigorous than the federal standard. Now theres more. Typically as many as a dozen other states have followed californias lead leaving about 40 of the nations population pursuing tougher rules than the national standard. So in as much as the nations automakers dont want to make cars with two sets of rules, one for 40 and one for the other 60 they have reluctantly fallen into line yet again. Thats interesting. So would that mean that the Trump Administration, dare i say, may be more environmentally friendly than many had predict ed . It leaves a few people scratching their heads. Remember, President Trump has embarked on a policy supporting as much american produced fossil fuel as possible so that we may be energy selfsufficient, drilling off the california coast, fracking, all kinds of things where these kinds of things in terms of Oil Availability would be important to the state. Thats one way to look at it. The Trump Administration if were going anything further has been pushing hard to ease lagss in a variety of areas including fossil fuels and Energy Production but at least for now keep your fingers crossed,c california has managed to keep its special position in the area of automobile emissions which is a welcome benefit to the millions, and i mean millions of people here suffering from asthma and other respiratory conditions. We dont think about this. We take this for granted. If you roll back the clock 40 or 50 years we have smog alerts in the congested valleys all over the state day after day after day, all kinds of kids missing schools, asthma and what not. So these kinds of changes have meant big differences particularly in california and the National Government continues to allow us to do that. Good for those families off i5 who live in that corridor where theres all that traffic. And los angeles and parts of the east bay. Larry gerston, as always, we appreciate your insight. Thanks for joining us. The cast of hamilton takes its final bow. How you can still see the show next. And hazy skies right now over walnut creek. 60 degrees. We have sunshine on the way.
