5:18 pm
those who are injured on the job . >> who gets to decide? does the legislature get to decide? or do the people of california through the ballot process, get to ultimately decide? >> ahead of today's hearing, uber warned in a statement that changing prop 22 would affect, quote, millions of californians who see major service reductions and cost increases, or lose ride sharing and food delivery entirely. we are confident that the state or the supreme court will listen to the will of california voters and uphold prop 22. legal experts say the court could split the difference . >> this could be something in between. perhaps the california supreme court will take out the most controversial parts of the legislation, particularly the 7/8 provision, or perhaps the restriction directly on workers compensation, and let the rest of it stand. >> the state supreme court has to issue a decision in this case within the next 90 days.

5:49 pm
five eight degrees. so here's the plan. the high pressure has been keeping us warm. it will keep us warm pretty much up until the weekend. and then that low up north kind of drops down. and that's the mechanism it creates a northwest wind. we've had relatively kind of west southwesterly winds and northwest wind, and the winds aren't really going to be the cooling component. the cooling mechanism is going to be this air mass. it's just an air mass thing. it's cooler come down. it settles close to us. even if the fog clears in your neighborhood, the central valley is going to see temperatures cooler. it's not going to be. it's not kind of a diurnal, classic summer thing where if there's no, you know, if you're cool, it's going to be just cool. air settles in and there will be fog with it because of the northwest wind. right now, temperatures is pretty nice. you can see sort of the microclimates setting up, but the warmth really spreading out inland. seven degrees warmer in concord right now than it was last night at this time. and then the golden gate bridge. just beautiful shot. and you can see that's so neat. i love it when the lighting gets like this
