prisoner sarah shourd were allowed to meet briefly with their mothers in iran last may. so a year ago. shourd was subsequently released for medical reasons. this is only the third phone call between mothers and sons in two years. the trial for the two men who are u.c. berkeley graduates accused of spying but supposed to begin two weeks ago but was put off with no explanation. an expert consultant in sacramento is now telling school districts they should plan on getting the same money next year as they got this year. the guru consultant firm hired by 90% of school districts say the outlook in state capital changed dramatically since january. that's when the districts were told to plan for deep cuts. since then, state tax revenues increased and teachers increased the pressure on lawmakers. the firm says schools will likely avoid laying off thousands of teachers and slashing the length of the school year, but it warns don't start spending any money until the state budget is finished. pg&e plans to start

another gas line pressure test today. this time people in south san francisco and san bruno are being warned they may smell natural gas in the testing. the state ordered the pipeline test in response to last september's san bruno tragedy. when a gas line explosion killed eight people and destroyed 38 homes. the water pressure testing began two weeks ago in mountain view. tests last week of a line in antioch found no sign of leaks or weakness in the pipe. the pipeline test are conducted only after the natural gas is removed from the line. >> crews will be out today cleaning up downed trees and fallen branchs caused by the strong winds. here a tree fell across the westbound lane of brotherhood way near lake merced boulevard in san francisco last night. no cars were present when the tree fell. but another tree smashed in the cab of a pick-up truck along 16th avenue in richmond district. that tree also took out

power lines and phone lines. thankfully nobody was hurt. >> it looks like the crews may be busy for a little while because the branches may not be toppling yet. >> across the bridge this morning, mike, you felt the breezes. not so much for me, but there you go. >> yeah, i definitely felt them. it could tell, too. i look at the gas mileage a lot when i'm driving and i can tell when there is a strong sea breeze because the gas mileage drops. irritating at times. it's one of the many ways we tell it's windy outside. we talked about last week how windy it would be yesterday and today. thankfully by this afternoon, especially once the sun starts to set, we will see the winds taper. but what we have small area of low pressure right here, undercutting the area of high pressure. the pressure gradient between the two creates the fast winds. as the low moves away from the high to the west. and the sun sets, you tend to settle the atmosphere. that's why we still have a good ten hours of breezy conditions. in fact, the winds running right now around 25 to 35 miles per hour through the bay.

as far as what is going on for highs today, we're going to be in the mid-to-upper 60s through most of the bay. upper 50s along the coast. upper 60s to low 70s inland. we'll have a few clouds mixed with the sunshine. the breezes again, taper tonight. and then wednesday we'll turn all of our attention to that. a pretty vigorous cold front for this time of the year. it will give north bay for sure rain that could head as far south as san jose. once it pass, temperatures are cooler than average the rest of the forecast. frances? >> i can't believe we see the rain again in the seven-day forecast. now, even though it's windy across the san mateo bridge and the bay bridge, both hands on the wheel there. if you check your mileage like mike, at least gas prices are coming down. so far, no major slowdowns around the bay area. but there is a wind advisory for another spot. through the altamont pass on westbound 580. so be careful as you make your way through the hills there out of tracy to livermore and pleasanton. but other than that, you won't find any delays as you continue through the dublin interchange and head down through the sunol grade.
