6:09 pm
stay open is because, you know, we have to make more money to pay rent, to pay, bills like bga , you know, phone bills, internet bills. and we have employees. i have like four employees at nighttime when i have extra security because, you know, of the area. >> some san francisco residents say closing the shops won't make much of a difference in the end. >> i don't think it's going to work at all because people are still homeless and they're still out here all night long, so the markets don't really have anything to do with the crime. >> if the board of supervisors approves the new legislation, the new hours would not be enforced by police other than issuing warnings. any business that violates the proposed new hours would be fined up to $1,000 by the department of health police, though, would be the eyes and ears on the streets to see if in fact, businesses are complying. in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu, fox two news. >> san jose city leaders held a press conference today to share the results of the local license plate camera program. mayor matt mahan led that conference in la plata arroyo neighborhood, where a new camera was being installed. at the time, he said

6:18 pm
they've collected more than 1500 signatures required to put the issue on the ballot. this proposal would roll back monthly rents and cap rent increases at no more than 3% per year. >> if you don't have local protections, landlords can just lie. they can literally evict you saying, i'm going out of the rental market and the next day, rent it to somebody else. and the state law doesn't prevent them from doing it. >> other rental protection initiatives have been proposed or passed in other east bay cities in the last year, including albany, berkeley, antioch and concord. the east bay rental housing association, which represents property owners, issued a statement last month in response to a number of rent control ordinances in the east bay. the organization saying here, in part by capping rents, policymakers hope to make housing more accessible to a broader range of individual. however, this increased demand is met with a decrease in the supply of available rental units

6:49 pm
see some lightning strikes detected up in northern california over the past few hours. we have the low clouds and fog banked up near the coastline, covering a good portion of the bay itself. here's the radar once again showing you some of the coverage up in northern california and in portions of the sierra as be coming closer to the bay area right now. we'll check out some of the current wind reports we had. those really strong onshore winds developed yesterday, and we still have some gusty conditions out there. right now there's the oakland airport gusting to right around 30 miles an hour and out toward sfo, out towards san jose winds up above 20 miles an hour. i'll show you half moon bay with winds at about 12 miles an hour. here's our live camera this evening. looking above san francisco, some breaks in the cloud cover, but still mostly cloudy skies and current numbers have cooled off into the upper 50s to the lower 60s. san jose checking in 64 degrees tonight. mostly cloudy skies. we have the breezy conditions out there. tomorrow morning we'll have some drizzle out there with partly to mostly cloudy skies into the afternoon. and then on friday, actually as early as thursday afternoon,
6:50 pm
thursday night that could carry over into friday morning. the slight chance of a few showers as far as overnight temperatures will bring in the 50s. and once again, maybe some drizzle out there enough to maybe trigger the windshield wipers first thing tomorrow morning for your wednesday. all because this guy, this area of low pressure is drifting closer to our coastline, so it's going to stick around for tomorrow. some clouds and some drizzle, especially for the first half of the day. and then another system moves in from the north throughout the afternoon hours on thursday into thursday night. and there's the chance we could have a few sprinkles or a few scattered showers as we track of that system moving into the region thursday, later the day thursday and a slight chance into friday. here's the forecast models. you can see it's holding on to some cloud cover tomorrow afternoon and then into thursday morning. once again, some cloud cover. we're watching this activity up to our north and kind of falls apart, so there's still a chance we could have an isolated sprinkle or a shower, and that slight chance could continue into your friday. but friday looks like we could actually have some clearing out there with a mixture of sun and clouds. take a look at the
6:51 pm
numbers for tomorrow. no 80s, no 70s. we're just thinking some upper 50s to the upper 60s for your wednesday forecast. and here's a look ahead. your five day. and we bring in more clouds for your thursday and into friday. we'll keep an eye on that chance of a few sprinkles. it's maybe about a 20 to 30% chance the upcoming weekend will be a little bit warmer. not like last weekend, but still. temperatures trending up a little bit for saturday and into sunday with this cooldown, it wants to stick around. >> all right, mark, thank you. well, we are staying on top of some developing news tonight. the senate has just passed the $95 billion foreign aid bill that includes funding for ukraine and israel. also included in that bill a provision that could result in a ban of the social media app tiktok. the bill now heads to the president's desk. he is expected to sign it. we will have much more coverage on this coming up tonight on the 10:00 news. >> well, two iconic action stars are now opening up about their longtime rivalry that is now turned into a pretty close friendship.

the yankees, they get it back and then some. rizzo a two run blast off paul blackburn in the bottom of the first and it is four one. new york before many fans were even in their seats. a's respond. shea langeliers homers in the second, and then lawrence butler. there it goes. he connects off marcus stroman in the fourth. that's another home run. but both were solo shots. so the yanks still lead 4 to 3. and that's how it ended. the a's come back comes up just short. yankees win 4 to 3 to even up the series at a game apiece. same two teams tomorrow. the giants are just underway against the new york mets, who have the highest payroll in the game as they go for their fifth win in their last seven games. and last night, a dramatic new entrance from the bullpen for closer camilo duvall. they turned off the lights at oracle park, put a spotlight on duvall as he made his way to the pitcher's mound. apparently, this has been in the works for quite some time, and it finally made its much anticipated debut
