to rein in retail robberies. i actually rain task forces. i've run dozens of tax forces myself , so i don't need to delegate to other people how to run it. i don't need to learn for the first time on the job. what a task force is, as rob bondi has to do you need to team up with every d a every sheriff, every police chief up and down the state. now the chp task force on retail theft says it has participated in more than 700 investigations, made 240 arrests and assisted in the recovery of more than $18 million in merchandise. bonta who was appointed to the job of attorney general will be running in his first state election. bonta has the endorsement of several law enforcement groups. our time is 506 will. all five candidates for mayor of oakland took part in an online forum? it was hosted by the san francisco planning and urban research association in a bid to attract votes. all were questions about

a wide range of topics, including climate change. what steps should we take to protect our communities from sea level rise and extreme heat? and so i think we have to continue to center equity. we've got a container build on just intentional community and equity driven approach, and we've got to make sure that we make those investments prevention is also extremely important. i supported and not just that, but went to the cpuc to fight for under grounding utilities and piedmont pines. another big top topic was mass transit and the best way to improve transportation. believe me. i've been told by people they stabbed using issue transfer. they stop using public transportation because they afraid so we got to go back to the basics. we have to improve our economies of scale. we have to improve our efficiency across this regional network, and that's got to be a square focus . we have to also increase ridership leadership from the city on regional issues is gonna be that's as important as anything else to make us safer to make us, uh, to create more

unified school district issued a statement saying the district is working closely with the after school provider to ensure this kind of incident does not happen again. 509 is the time back over to steve. what are you keeping an eye on steve? everything things. yeah i'm actually looking ahead to next week and the end of the month and stuff like that, because things are changing. not so much today. we still in what's called a blocking pattern. technically it's called a rex block, named after the man who founded in 1950, daniel rex. what's iraq's block while you have two distinct branches of the jet stream, and everything is locked in so one polar branch goes up here over that high. in the pacific northwest dives all the way down here and does that then you get another branch of the jet stream and a warmer one at that. this one comes underneath . so you got a low in southern california, one in arizona. now the another low these patterns last a while and we've been stuck in this pattern, but it

does look like it's about to break down end of this week. look at the twenties. i mean 10.21, minneapolis, 24. chicago 35 nashville, 36. these are really cool temps for october. no doubt about it, but it does look like after body about the weekend. the pattern will become more progressive, which means it continues to move. instead of being locked in or blocked. we have a little low to the west southwest. it's just taking the same path almost as the one that they had over the weekend in southern california and arizona. so it stays south, but it spins in a lot of high end mid level clouds. and that's what we have over us right now, so that's giving us warmer lows for sure. a lot more fifties. we had more forties yesterday by far but high clouds warmer lows each day. though we are bumping up these temps a little bit tomorrow will be the warmest day. but napa oakland, menlo park, cupertino. those arrows are all up, so forecast highs. 82 76 79. and 80 degrees in cupertino. fifties on most of the attempts to couple of sixties inter mainly fifties. we're running about 2 to 9 degrees warmer than 24 hours ago. did the cloud cover? still some low 50 sentence almost 50

degrees. middletown's 49 degrees windsor's 50 sebastopol rohnert park at 49, so there's a couple but we had low forties yesterday, now its upper forties and mainly fifties 29 out of the early thirties in the mountains, trucking, southlake town, 50 sixties in the valley and up and down the coast. so that high keeps everything locked in for another know about three days or so then big changes are on the way a system will dive in from the pacific northwest, and that's really going to change things dramatically here. i mean, it's going to clip the sierra nevada now we could get rain out of that now. that doesn't mean those forecasts. projections are right. but if you are going to the mountains or travel plans, i would keep an eye on things. i think our first really good snow of the season kicks in over the mountains. we'll probably get some drizzle or light rain out of it. but the main message right now is cloudy, windy and cooler as we go towards the weekend, so warm to hot on wednesday and still pretty warm thursday big drop big changes by the weekend. all right. thank you, steve. people in crockett will soon get a breath of fresh air still ahead, why the air is finally clearing

the weekend, which favors southern california. not us, but we get some of the high and mid level clouds out of it. so the lows are warmer here. afternoon highs will start to bump up. not much of a breeze at all. high clouds. warmer lows. partly cloudy, partly sunny but it will be warmer this afternoon high class might take an edge off some of the high temps, but not so much tomorrow. fifties on the temps to sixties for some here, but i don't think we're going to change all that much. on these temps here. pittsburgh 60, alameda, 60. you don't usually see that all the time, but we are in right now. 58 in kensington. piedmont's in there a little little cooler out towards alamo, danville, but a lot of low fifties mid fifties to upper fifties thirties in the mountains fifties in the valley sixties to its san joaquin valley and then fifties and sixties, up and down the coast here. so rather ice a thermal. almost here for many of the blocking high continues for about three more days in the pacific northwest, then the pattern will change instead of everything going up and over our underneath a system will dive in from the northwest. this does favor areas to the north and the sierra. for sure, we will get

first new reservoir in more than 40 years. ktvu is tom baker tells us why building the reservoir in colusa county could cost less money and be built sooner than many other projects.

one completed the long proposed $4 billion sites reservoir will hold enough water to feed the needs of five million homes a year or a half million acres of farmland. that's enough water to cover every square inch of san francisco 50 ft deep. currently there's a big gap between the supply of water in california and the demand for it. but if you close off this little gap and one just like it, you can easily create one of the largest reservoirs in all of california. huge naturally occurring ball was first identified by the california department of water resources back in the 19 fifties as a potential reservoir when it was contemplating the rapid growth of california. more than droughts, and not even that thought or inkling about something called climate change . jerry brown, no relation to the former governor says sites reservoir would increase northern california's reservoir water storage capacity by 15%

with the water to be shared between the state's biggest water goals. it serves farms families. fish and fowl benefits would stretch from the northern central valley in bay area all the way to southern california. sites would get its water from the sacramento river, but water would only be taken in the rainy season and only when the water flow is very high when much of that overflow ends up going out to sea, in essence, it teleports water that comes to us naturally in the weather periods to the drier times when we need it, more water would be sent through 180 miles of canals westward to the sites project near maxwell. all but 12 miles of that already exists, saving enormous costs with our changing climate with our drought conditions extended drought periods whether wets drier dries. i think that the problems are becoming more serious and that that

necessitates, you know, putting something like this into place. once constructed, it would take about five years in drier years to fill it, but in a super wet year, it could be done in just one winner. fewer than two dozen people live and what would be the sites reservoir valley some families here for many generations, while the land can be used for cattle grazing, many ranchers here actually truck their cattle to oregon to feed on green grass. there's pretty good support from from those folks that are really giving up a lot in order to make this possible for all the rest of us. the primary opposition to sites is from environmentalists who do not want to see high water flows diminished. final approval of funding sources. almost 900 million already approved by state voters. another billion from uncle sam and just over two billion from the waiting list of many participating local water agencies, cities and counties

should be finalized by 2020 for actual construction would begin in 2025, the reservoir would begin operations in 2031 tom baker, ktvu. fox two news. her time now. 5 27 elizabeth holmes back in court fighting to get a new trial on fraud charges up next. the reason, her lawyers argue things have changed, and she was convicted months ago. plus influence. it didn't go anywhere. it's just it's just was subdued because we were practicing much more stringent practices. health experts warning this year's flu season could be worse than last year. precautions you're advised to take
