We are looking at changes. 57 right now at our coast as we head outside. Thats half moon bay. We have pretty chilly valleys in the 30 s. 7 14 is the official sunrise. As we take a look at live doppler 7hd you notice the sweep on top of the Mount Saint Helena and the cloud cover over the bay area. This is insulating us a bit and you add in the north, northeast wind, and we are looking at temperatures pretty much warmer this morning except for napa and concord where you still are dropping into the 30s. Even at 38 santa rosa is a couple degrees warmer. San francisco 47. Good morning redwood city, 48. 49 in Mountain View and a mild, relatively speaking, 50 in san jose.

High pressure over the bay area continues to bring that sub continuance and that warming today and tomorrow. But by tuesday it will be coming to a screeching halt as we look for another wind shift.

But not happening today and tomorrow. In fact, 8 degrees above average in oakland, as well as santa rosa. San jose coming in a couple degrees above the average.

State lawmakers are deciding how to dole out money to help schools become more Energy Efficient<\/a>. Abc7 news capital correspondent Nannette Miranda<\/a> has more on whats happening. We want to be first in line, somehow, some way. This principal is pleading his case to give his campus some of the new Energy Retrofit<\/a> money. 73 of the Public Schools<\/a> are more than 25 years old and in need of the funding badly to upgrade or replace windows, in inefficient lighting and old air conditioning and heating systems. If we can look at Energy Efficient<\/a> sis then you are having year over year over year and in the long run you will have more money available for those things you need. The costs are staggering. More than 10,000 Public Schools<\/a> in california together spend 700 million a year on energy. Thats how much they spend on all books and supplies. Thanks to voters who overwhelmingly approved proposition 39 last month, disadvantaged schools will now be able to pay for energy retro fits. Proposition 39 closes a tax loophole that mostly benefited outofstate corporations. Its a billion dollars a year funding boost for the state. Half goes to the general fund and the other half to the energy needs of schools which could mean no more putty around the window sil. The old putty has been there forever. Or singlepane windows that make the classrooms saunas in the summer and freezers in the winter. It hinders learning. As kids go from classroom to classroom they experience the same situation and after three or four hours of that its hard for them to focus. Lawmakers just introduced measures to get project moneys out the door by next summer. Retrofitting is expected to cut energy costs at least 30 . We want to give them great, new Energy Efficiency<\/a> and Clean Energy Technologies<\/a> and bring our schools up to the 21st century. When the upgrading is done, the 4 billion goes to the states general fund. In sacramento, Nannette Miranda<\/a>, abc7 news.

The south korean rap sensation responsible for the viral video but now hes facing anger over his 2004 performance of a song against the iraq war. We have the story. Call it controversy his style. Long before his youtube hit sparked a nationwide dance craze, he performed at a concert in 2004 with sentiment running high after a korean was killed in iraq. He sang singing the offensive words. If you were sitting around making up horrible things that a pop star could say that would get them in trouble, you would have a hard time come up with worse words than that. Many are reacting with fury. Saying he shouldnt be able to headline the concert in washington on sunday. The president is scheduled to attend. This isnt the first time a Famous Artist<\/a> has quoted a political controversy. But this is different. His Youtube Video<\/a> is the most watched of alltime. It was social media that helped make his career and now its social media that could break it. Even after he apologized, saying the song was a deeply emotional reaction and he will forever be sorry for any pain it caused, youtube still has hashtags saying he hates america.

When you can take peoples parking time from 20 minutes to 5 minutes, you are going to dramatically reduce the number of cars on the street. City officials think its a good investment for taxpayers. Its much cheaper to efficiently manage your existing parking inventory than building new spaces and new facilities. Installing one of these is as simple as drilling a hole and dropping it in. They are wireless, but unlike your cell own the battery life in these are measured in years, not hours. Thats why cisco said this is just the beginning.

We are starting out with some milder temperatures this morning. A few clouds around but making for a very pretty sunrise officially at 7 13. As we head outside to lake tahoe right now, you see the snow there. We are looking at snow at lake levels, even come wednesday. Thats the next system that will beheaded our way and bringing sierra snow. Its a colder one, not a lot of moisture associated it. Maybe not a lot of snow but at least its coming from the right direction. Back home we are looking live from our sutro camera where you can see how pretty it is out there. Not very much fog. In fact not a whole lot of cloud cover out there. But still with a little wind, north, northeast wind from the surface to the upper elevations, we are a little warmer this morning. Live doppler 7hd shows a veil of high, thin clouds. It should stay quiet for the next several days. But by tuesday night it could be picking up some returns. 39 in concord right now. It is cool in parts of our east and north bay valleys with upper 30s napa and santa rosa. A little fog by napa, as well, with 45 in oakland. 50 in san jose. You are warmer.

Today forecasting highs from the 60s in richmond, San Francisco<\/a>, and otherwise everyone else will be well into the mid670s. For this time of the year we are up anywhere from three to eight degrees where we should be. So usually the upper 50s should do it. We do have a couple dry days to boot on top of that. The reason why is because of this, High Pressure<\/a> building into the eastern pacific, and as it does we have the trough set up into Southern California<\/a> and thats that perfect alignment to bring the warmer conditions. A little breezy, though, in spots, and we will look for gusty winds in Southern California<\/a>. It all changes by tuesday, though. We will look for more of an on shore push, more clouds. Look whats ahead. We have a trough coming down from the north and west and that will spread warm rain our way. Maybe a quarter an inch and parts of the north bay could see upwards of three quarters of an inch. Southern california gusty winds. 64 palo alto toe, 65 san jose. The niners today with temperatures in the low 60s, under plenty of sunshine, and down by the monterey bay a nice afternoon with 63 watsonville.

The keyword there is usually good advice. Heres Michael Finney<\/a> with a problem solved. If you ask me what to pack in the carry on bags, i would say those things you cant do without. Good advice usually. But on this flight that normally good advice went awry. Sandy is showing us her usual drill. She travels widely and always takes a carryon with the musthave item. Earlier this year on a trip to italy things got off to a rocky start for season sandy and her husband. We were told when we first got on the bag before we got on the plane the overhead bins were full so you must check your carryon, so we did. Then what happened. We got to rome and it wasnt there. They took in the sights and sounds of italy, but without underwear, of course, so they bought new. When their luggage finally arrived, they went to pick it up. We had to go to naples to pick it up. And that was probably an hour ride on the bus from where we were. Then we had to take a cab from the airport in naples to the train station in rome. It happens so she put in a bill for her costs. Underwear, a sweater, a jacket, and we had to buy a bus ticket from there to the naples airport and cab fair to the train station. And what did she bill the airline . Less than 70. It didnt come, it didnt come, it didnt come, so finally i decided, okay, 7 on your side is going to be my way of getting my money back. So i did contact 7 on your side and i was called back. He contacted the airlines and finally five months later i finally got a check. We were happy to make contact and sandy was happy to have her money. She says it wasnt all that much. Still, she had a rightful claim. It wasnt that much, but it was, you know, the principle of it. I would definitely, if i had a problem, contact you again. If you have a consumer problem, let me know about it. Go to abc7news. Com. Im Michael Finney<\/a>, 7 on your side.
