temperature changes could be a little bit colder than it was yesterday. as we take a look at those temperatures, you can really see that san francisco right now around. 48, as we take a look up north, we're in the 30's center is at 35 now. earlier this week, we're breaking record temperatures. not the story. now. we're 10 degrees below average in places some places in the map like livermore. you're 58. we're going to have 50 san jose years averages 60. we're looking at 52 oakland. your average is 60. we're looking around the 50's, even san francisco. your average is 58 today. we're looking around. 49. so again, it's going those colder temperatures going to be a theme the next couple of days. it's been a roller coaster on top of the colder temperatures. stormtracker 4. we're watching for the potential of maybe a sprinkle or 2 as we fast for the clock. i think that would come around. maybe 11 o'clock as we fast forward all the way to 4.30. but really it's not going to be a lot again. i said a sprinkle or 2, a 10th of an inch would be the theme. but overall, it's going to be really this wind advisory starting at 1 o'clock that will continue to watch. you

can see it's still breezy as you step out the door right now we're in the teens, but what's going to happen a little bit later on tonight. we could see those wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour, which is powerful enough to knock down trees on top of the wind advisory, making it feel really cold in some places. we have this freeze warning happening tonight is going to stay that way until monday. 09:00am. plus a frost advisory. so just thinking ahead, if you do not have a garage are going to make sure to warm up your car before you head into work. going to be really chilly. take a look at the 7 day forecast. what we're watching again is going to those chilly temperatures today. that chance for a sprinkle or 2 that wind advisory. >> as we roll into monday, take a look at your lows are going to be at 30. we're staying at freezing temperatures overnight on tuesday. slowly start to warm back up on wednesday. but we've got to get through the next couple of days, which will update you. as you know, stephanie, on tv online and on our app. lee, thank you so much for that update. >> well, the city of sausalito has a new mayor on december 13th. the city council elected

council member melissa bussed in to serve the position. she joins us live now to discuss her goals for the new year. huge congratulations to you. thank you so much. it's so great to see you, stephanie. and i'm so happy to be here with you and catch up. and i'm so honored to be in this new role. yeah, absolutely. just for context everyone watching him a listen. i used to go to college. she was our best that's that's very kind. thank you and just outstanding and politically active. even at that like how many years ago? well, actually not so but, you know, so you just started her first day in office. i live right. and yet earlier this month, how did that feel? it felt amazing. i mean, sausalito is such a special, beautiful community and having grown up there between mill valley in sausalito. it's just an incredible honor to be able to serve such a special place and to really feel like i'm having an impact. i feel like every day i'm doing something to improve our community work for our community and >> there's truly nothing like

that. it's an incredible it one of the first things i want to ask you you know, given that you just took office and we just saw this extreme weather that we've been covering so much here on kron. 4 was just how the city has been dealing with that. i mean, you're so close to the water. how has that yeah, we really are a waterfront community. so we have to be resilient. sea level rise is a huge issue and obviously the storms we took a our biggest concern was that we have we have an amazing department of public works who did excellent work responding, getting ready. same with southern marin fire sausalito. pdr staff was amazing, but we do have a sausalito see why. and that is sort of the icon and structure of our community and sammy the seal. i did take a nosedive so good and working with the sausalito foundation to help raise some funds for the sea lion to get to get it repaired. he's in the sea lion he corporate but, you know, we were really lucky. we're really resilient community in sausalito. and we have an amazing team behind us. so we were able to survive the storms pretty a pretty on skate. glad to hear it. and, you know, i wanted to get your

take 2 on the recent gun violence that's obviously half moon bay grieving going through a really tough time. we saw the shootings that happened around lunar new year in monterey park. a further south so, you know, first of all, just what are your thoughts around that and what any plans for for the city of sausalito in terms of public safety? yeah, i mean, this is a really difficult conversation for me to talk about. i actually worked for gabby giffords. so i've i've experienced some of the impacts of gun violence, a firsthand having known folks who were there that day. of course, and my heart really goes out to everyone who was impacted by the events in monterey, park and and half moon bay and and i'm frankly, i'm quite frustrated that we haven't done more for ending gun violence in america. i'm really thankful for organizations like giffords who worked really, really hard to take steps to really finally move things forward in sausalito. we have a fantastic police department who do an amazing job every day to keep our community safe. but you know, that's not enough. we we

as a nation really need to step up and do more gun violence. now, anything specific that you're planning for the city of sausalito? well, with regard to gun violence, we we are just working with our police department to make sure that our community is aware of our gun laws and that they feel safe and that they're available to answer any questions. like i said, we have a fantastic police force in sausalito who really give all of their time. so we're making our community aware of how to stay safe. we're hosting. hopefully some, you know, gun violence training's going forward so that folks know what they can do if there is a shooting. but it's just deeply unfortunate and unsettling that this is something that we even have to be continuing to talk about and to continue to do. you know, it's serious also to get a sense of what other challenges are facing the city of sausalito that you'd really like to address this year. among your different priorities. yeah, absolutely. so a big priority for us right now is housing. you know, i think we know that as a state, there's a huge housing crisis in california. we need to provide for the folks who serve our community to be able to live in our community. and

at the same time, we have to balance the state requirements for us for housing. so we need to move saw sleet is a 2 by 2 square miles city. and we've been asked at 724 new units of housing. so we're working really hard because, you know, no one is going to be 100% happy with the choices that we make. but i believe that we can come up with a plan that will help us make a more inclusive community that allows us to welcome more folks into our town also solves our housing challenges. so that's a big one. and then i'm thinking about, you know, basic back to basics. problems were us waterfront city just like any other community might be familiar with. we need to keep our roads working. we need to keep our infrastructure strong. we need to provide good city services and i'd really like us to stake a smart cities back to basics approach. so there's a lot of different thoughts of what does that mean? right, right, right. so the example that i like to give is everybody hates potholes. well, what if we all right, right. bnt what if we can use technology and sensors and our roads? that would tell us how much vehicle miles traveled, how much traffic there was on

those roads so we can prepare them before the pothole happened. and that's just one example. so you can use sensors to have to mount their flooding for sea level rise you can just use technology to better communicate with residents. to me, it just means we live next to the innovation capital of the world here. should we be using technology to better serve our residents good point there. and you know, less quick thing. i want to touch on, too, as you are a swimmer. tell us a bit about a really interesting experience you recently had and how that applies. maybe to your just day-to-day work totally. well, i'm proud member of the south end rowing club here in sausalito, which is where i swim and i actually swam the english channel a few years ago. and for me, it's actually so applicable to my work as mayor because to be able to make it through cold water currents wanting to quit difficulties. unexpected situations. you just got to keep going. you know, and it's the same thing with being mayor serving a community working in politics. you're going to have challenges and it's going to be tough. but you've got to be resilient and push through and i'm ready and

willing to do that. and i'm so honored to be serving as mayor. all right, melissa, so proud of you and going to start this year. appreciate you being here. thank 7. all you being here. thank 7. all right. we'll be right back.

a young asian american girl who moves to taiwan to help take care of her grandmother and learns to embrace her family roots in the process. joining me live now is the writer, vivian chang and illustrator eugenia yo, thank you so much to the both of you for waking up early and being with us today. yeah, thank you so much for having us. this is such a dream to share and talk with yeah. >> the kron 4 family so happy to have you. we love the bay area connection as well. you're from fremont and you're from berkeley. tell us a bit about the story and what inspired you to write it. an illustrated. haha, of we have lot of a discussion about taiwan. these are both parents are from there. >> and we also have friends who actually had to move back from america to taiwan. and we love sharing their stories and realize really difficult to sort i know. you see that change. yeah. i think we decide to write this book in a very interesting time. so is the height of the pandemic

october 2020. so you can imagine that. >> and we actually eugene was taking a gap at the time we met at university washington university of st. louis. i'm actually still senior. they're actually. so i flew back here for different events in this interview. and she was really born at the time because she was taking a gap year in that semester. and she asked me like i'm so bored you would like and i was like, maybe we could picked a book together. and so we decide to write a picture book at that very moment. that's incredible. and tell us a bit about the story of the of the actual book. what can people experience? >> right. it's loosely based off of those to deny like we have different friends happens experience but also bit about our experience as well as our parents are both from there. and we visited intermediate least so definitely the cockroaches in the bathroom. yeah. it's a book about a little girl named lily. that moves from the bay from bay area or west coast. are america in general to taiwan and how she a place into a home? and so it's really her journey of the findings. i want her home. >> it's really interesting, too, because this is almost like a reverse immigration

story. we often talk about like we hear stories often about people immigrating from outside of the u.s. to come here and settle and start new beginnings. but in this case, it's about a young girl who actually goes back to her parents homeland. so tell us a bit about what inspired that. >> yeah, i think it's very interesting idea. we do hear a lot of times the normal kind of immigrate traditional immigration stories where our parents moved from asia or europe to the u.s.. but we want it depicts kind of like this reverse version of it to understand like, well, okay, might feel i feel like a lot of times when kids moved to a new area, they might feel like, oh, i don't really like the school. i don't really like the food. i don't really like the culture. but i think will see a little bit of a plot twist in this book where she realizes that this place is just more than just like her home. but this is also her mother's home as well in her family's home. i think that journey is very interesting in this kind reverse immigration and another thing that really >> kind of resonated and stood out to me when i was reading this was the fact that it is very illustration centric

>> so >> was that an intentional decision? because it at some point it almost reads like a comic book. there's like that. you can see the bubbles and like speech bubbles like. >> tell us a bit about that. yeah. thank you for noticing that it is extremely ocean centric because they feel like so much of the motions can be conveyed visually. >> versus telling it through words, there's i'm not as much details at least for me as an illustrated has to be that could be depicted. but we want to really get into the raw, genuine emotions. is feeling which was very much done through illustration we won't use images as a way of storytelling, not just for traditional wars are posing like the car book. a baby picked up a be on hook. yes, yes, it does have a little bit of that you know something. i also just a little bit of a separate topic here, but i also wanted to get your thoughts about. >> the recent events that happened in monterey park that happened so close to the lunar new we know that there's a

large taiwanese community in monterey and some of the victims were taiwanese as well. >> how did this news affect you? and is there a message you'd like to share with folks? yeah, i think this event is just like an extremely unfortunate event in general. you know, i think it in general that we needed at this time, the asian american community, tony's american community needs to come together in more solidarity and continue to amplify our voices, whether that's through the art, for example, for supporting is an american picture. book creators, other like artists and creators or just really coming together having this message and just, you know, sharing our support for these communities right now that are, you know, maybe a little bit more at this and the like to add to that eugenia. >> i can live said i think there is so much sadness. i'm just by the recent events are happening. but also there are small mid moments of joy. and i feel like we also just have to celebrate the good and the and also considered the bad things well. but >> all right. well, thank you so much for that perspective

there. and, you know, leslie, what do you hope that readers will take away from your work here? >> yeah, i like to see that even though this book is a taiwanese american girl, she moves to taiwan. this story is really a universal, universal's. this party anytime someone experiences new changes. you know this. someone can definitely like relate to this book as well yeah. like it's not just confined within the tonys for community ration. their communities is the story for all. >> also along with that, it's a really just a story about kobe haha, we've all felt that regardless of who you are, you are allowed tovfeel those emotions of like a if you for somewhere you're not familiar with. and it just takes time to document perhaps time might be the best healing powers don't have to immediately get better. all right. vivian chang and illustrator, eugene yo, thank you so much to the both of you for being here and for sharing your story with us. yeah, thank you so much for having you can get their book. this is not my home.
