mortgage payment for first-time home buyer buying the typical home in that region is -- that monthly mortgage payment is going to be up around $8,000 or $9,000 while monthly rent in the two regions is somewhere around 3200 to 3300 dollars. >> not only you pay mortgage for the homes but they're costing you more to carry the mortgage round on a kind of monthly basis. >> reporter: jordan levine, the vp and chief economist for the california association of realtors agrees people will save money in the short-term right now by renting. however, he says they might not save as much as they think in the long run and could lose out on wealth accumulation if they choose to rent. >> when you get five, six, ten years down the road in a rental, it hasn't done anything to your net worth, even if you are saving on a monthly basis. the statistics show that you don't typically go out and make a bunch of whizbang financial investments and end up as well off as you would have been had you purchased. >> reporter: but nonetheless, it will be expensive either way. for barnes, it's a waiting game to see what happens with the market over the next few months. which still have our lease for rent

stadium. >> the a's game has been safe for many years. we don't usually have incidents like this. the oakland a's have provided fireworks shows for several years and we've never experienced anything like this. but also, we know that oakland has had a problem for many years when it comes to how people celebrate the fourth of july. >> a man was also found shot inside of a car along dowling street

of a potential presidential run. >> reporter: friendly reminder. the only place that governor gavin newsom is running for elected office right now is in california for governor. so why in the world is he placing political attack ads in florida? sometimes the simplest answer is also the best. we talked to people in the world of politics and pr, and they say clearly this is a man trying to establish himself as a national political figure. likely laying the groundwork for an event yul run for president. >> i urge all of you living in florida to join the fight, or join us in california. >> governor newsom doesn't declare his candidacy in the ad, but clearly signals his intentions, taking aim at governor ron desantis in the battleground state of florida, with the next presidential election roughly two years away. >> he is absolutely sort of firing the first shot across the bow that he is looking to be viewed as a viable candidate for the democratic nomination in 2024. >> reporter: professor sean fletcher says it's not entirely clear what governors newsom would do if president biden elected to run for a second term in office. should he falter or step aside? political observers say newsom is clearly trying to position himself as a viable alternative. >> what he says matters and people pay attention to that. so, you know, it could very well be laying the groundwork for a future presidential run. >> reporter: right now president biden says he's running. but he is saddled with a wobbly economy, runaway inflation and sagging poll numbers. that enough to propel newsom past the president? no one knows for sure. some say the governor should simply focus on the job at hand before campaigning for a new one. >> i think he has the charisma quite frankly, and i think his focus has always been on national politics. and so -- and i don't begrudge him. but solve the problems we have here. >> reporter: at the end of the day as governor newsom, a man with too much ambition, too much time on his hands and too much money in his campaign coffers? political observers say these ads did not cost him a ton of money but got him a ton of media attention, magnifying their reach and their impact. in san jose, devin fehely, kpix 5. >> newsom's tv ad comes as a new poll shows he could be a strong presidential candidate. the yahoo news yougov survey found in a hypothetical matchup, governor newsom would barely beat former president trump, 40-39%. his polling was higher than vice president kamala harris who tied with trump at 41%. newsom would also come out

more days. tomorrow and again on thursday. pacific northwest storm system just kind of spinning away here, off of the pacific northwest coast. but that kicks in the onshore breeze and helps to keep our temperatures below average, even for inland parts of the bay area. we are going to see some changes by the end of the workweek. as the heat dome builds over the desert southwest, right over the four corners, it's not going to be directly impacting our weather in terms of really hot conditions, but it is going to help to push us to slightly above average temperatures by the time the weekend

seeing plenty of sunshine and the fog along the coast is going to start spreading inland as we head through the rest of night. a big push into the inland valleys once again with a layer of cloud cover farther above that in the atmosphere as well. kind of a layer cake effect to begin the day tomorrow. the low cloud cover and fog is going to back up toward the coast, while the clouds higher up are going to be a little tougher to shake. it's going to be a mix of clouds and sunshine for much of the day. but the clouds higher up in the atmosphere aren't going to necessarily block the sun, they're just going to filter it and produce temperatures cooler than today. upper 50s to around 60 degrees. that's closer to normal for this time of year. temperatures with the fog and cloud cover slow to warm up for the first half of the day. the warmest spots by noon, only in the mid-70s. mostly 60s to around 70 degrees. then with the sunshine breaking through, temperatures do show a little more variation during the afternoon. up into the low 60s along the coast. mid to upper 60s around the bay. temperatures inland most i will only reaching the mid- to upper 70s. the very warmest spots of the

temperatures. get your dog some exercise, including from marleau here, who does not look to be in an exercising mood. once the fog and low cloud cover move off, i think the puppy energy will take over. mid to low 70s in san jose for marleau tomorrow afternoon. temperatures are going to be in that same territory on thursday before they start warming up on friday. that's going to elevate the fire threat or to the weekend. we'll start off near zero on our fire danger index with the below average temperatures tomorrow. not a huge climb for this saturday as we go through the day. any time in the middle of summer that we can stay below the halfway point on the scale, which is 5 on a zero to 10 scale, that's where we want to be. the highest valleys are seeing a 3 or 4, even during the warmest and windiest part of the day on wednesday. temperatures do warm up by the weekend. it's not much of a warm-up around the bay. close to 70 in san francisco this weekend. low to mid-70s for oakland and the east bay. but well into if 80s for san jose, especially by sunday and monday. the hottest spots are going to be inland in the north bay. close to 90 by sunday and inland in the east bay, into the low 90s on sunday. but low 90s in july, it's only about three or four degrees above average. if we're staying away from triple-digit heat, that's fine. we can handle a little bit of
