Jobina fortson is at the debts being with what the governor signed and what he didnt. Jobina. Reggie, yes. The governor took action on legislation to end systemic racism. That includes a bill that is creating a task force to study and develop proposals for potential reparations for the in some respects, its rather sad that ill be signing a couple of these bills, that they werent addressed decades ago. That we still need to be talking about jury selection, still need to talk about race and relationships to sentencing guidelines. The governor also signed a bill requiring Public Companies to diversify their boards. Ds. He also approved some policehol. The governor vetoed several bills, including one that would have made an ethnic studies class a graduation requirement for high school students. And one that would have required workers laid off during the pandemic to be rehired based on seniority in the hotel, airport and janitorial industries. Reggie, back to you. Jobina, thank you. Lawmakers avoided a government shutdown. The government signed a bill overnight. All Government Operations operating at the current funding levels. The spending bill was needed because the Republicancontrolled Senate has not acted on any of the 12 spending bills that congress has to approve to fund the government every year. What happens next will be determined by the outcome of the november election. All right. Lets talk about whats going on with your weather. Especially the conditions up in the north bay. Thats where all eyes are turning. The winds will blow from northwest to southeast. Just about all of us are downwind of these fires the next 24 to 36 hours. So thats of grave concern that ember hopping may start some new fires or the winds will provide fuel and make the fires that are up there right now specifically the dolan and glass fires expand at a rapid rate and break any containment lines that are set up right now.

As we head through the morning hours, theyre pretty quiet even until lunchhour. Watch around the sunset as they ramp up around 25 to 30 Miles Per Hour. Theyre going to hit a little earlier in the evening than we thought yesterday and taper a little bit during the overnight hours. That is some good news. That means our best chance of seeing this Rapid Development would be right after sunset, which isnt great. At least youre not sleeping by then and woken up by mandatory evacuations. Theres a brief rampup again tomorrow during the midmorning hours and by the 6 00 hour its over. Let take a look at whats going on tomorrow as far as your temperatures. Theyre up to 10 degrees warmer. Let me focus on San Francisco. Look at this. Were in the low 60s to low 70s. Not the greatest sleeping weather. Its going to be even worse tomorrow morning as tonight will be our hottest night.

It means another week of no school for tens of thousands of students in sonoma and napa counties. At a high school in santa rosa, a classroom at the north end of campus actually burned in the glass fire.
