5:38 pm
drought. that's just the kind of climate that we have. so got a couple years in a row of above normal precipitation. but we have those very long, dry months to come. here's the forecast taking through june july and august for temperatures, a show in the bay area, maybe slightly elevated may be above normal temperatures as we head in toward the dry summer good idea to have some of that. the water in our bank account as we're going to likely need some of that as we head throughout the summer time. that's for sure. right now looking dry and much warmer ahead. beautiful skies over san francisco. nice and clear right now. temperatures out the door. nice evening, 70 degrees in san jose to 71 in lemore. 74 in concord. a beautiful, clear, 70 degrees right now in novato 70 also in petaluma and 74 degrees in santa rosa. little cooler along the coastline. there get a little bit of a seabreeze, but not for long backed by. we look toward tomorrow afternoon. these are forecast highs maybe as high as 81 in san jose. 71 beautiful in san francisco about 77 degrees
5:39 pm
oakland. and then we really start to heat things up as we head into thursday, some temperatures getting near 90 degrees by thursday afternoon. maybe this high of 78 in san francisco. look at half moon bay, those offshore winds doing the work, maybe 70's out toward the beaches. so we haven't had really warm beach day so far this season that may very well soon change right now. we've got a little bit of a seabreeze. won't be long gone. high pressure is going to take over tonight. wind advisories kicking up tomorrow. they've been actually spread by the national weather service. now to include much of the north bay as we go to see some of those winds gusting as high as 35 to 45 miles per hour in the coming days. >> all right, lawrence tiktok is now suing the u.s. government in an attempt to block the federal law forcing either a sale or a band of the popular app. the law passed with bipartisan support just last month. this lawsuit is challenging its constitutionality kron four's. catherine heenan live for us in the newsroom with details on this. lot of people interested, catherine, a lot
5:40 pm
of people. you're right, vicki, and we didn't know this was coming or certainly was likely. but analysts say the fascinating part of this fight, ally and watching how the government response to the lawsuit. >> we are in some very unusual territory. the u.s. government has passed a law that effectively gives it the right to take away one of the most popular social media apps in the world in arguing against the new law. tiktok says its app is an important avenue for expression. >> pointing out that more than 170 million people in the u.s. use. it roughly half the country. it says that by taking away the government is infringing on our first amendment rights. meantime, is there really a significant security threat posed by tiktok? >> what i think is interesting here is that the for the last few years now the government keeps saying there is a national security concern with tiktok and we've heard this
5:41 pm
now under republican and democratic presidents and in both cases, we have not gotten the details, right? the government has not made its case to the american public about why this hugely popular app should be banned. it just teams, gesturing and national security. and i think that's part of why this case is going to be so fascinating. >> there were renewed calls to ban tiktok after the october 7th hamas attack. some users saying more anti-semitic contact was showing up. others argue the new law is an attempt to suppress pro palestine voice us. in any case, the fallout from a trial could reach far beyond tiktok. one of the things that tiktok makes the case about in its. >> filing against the government. is that a number of other social media companies and apps in general would need to be banned under these rules that the government has set out
5:42 pm
effectively it saying that if you're going to treat us all fairly, which, you know, the constitution says equal protection under the law. then it's not going to just be tiktok tickets band. it's going to be a lot of stuff. and i think that is going to be an interesting part of the debate as well. in that filing today, tiktok says the amount of effort it would take to sell the company to get another engineering team in place. >> is not workable in the roughly 270 days. it's been given. so in tick tok's view, apparently either that law goes away or it will leave the country in 2025, but it could also be a long legal fight. ensure says he will be surprised if the case does not end up before the supreme court grant. all right. catherine live for us in the newsroom. thanks, catherine. >> say goodbye to the boy scouts of america. at least next year because the organization will be changing its name. up next, we'll speak live with scout executive about this big change. the boy
5:43 pm
5:44 pm
5:45 pm
america are getting a new name. the 114 year-old organization is changing its name for the first time. >> they will become scouting america. it's the latest effort to make the organization more inclusive. so joining us now live to discuss is scout executive of the golden gate area council. i'm mike hale there. mike, thanks for joining us this evening. a big change after, you know, gosh, over 100 years
5:46 pm
of of what do you account for it? and what should people expect? >> for decades we've girls young ladies in some of our programs in see scouting and venturing in exploring and about 5 years ago, we invited girls and young ladies and were cub scouting and what can we call boy scouting program? it just seemed like natural too change the name at that time to scouts bsa. since we had girls invoice, scouting him we've got it in the bay area. we've got 20% of our members are female now. and so it just may in may be way more sense to change her name to scouting in america. so that all the girls could feel like they were welcome. and and joining a program that didn't have a boy at the you know, at the top of the letterhead. so it wasn't a hard decision for us.
5:47 pm
>> this has to be part of a sort of a pr effort. there was a lot of bad press is, you know, with the you know, the abuse cases, the anti lgbtq issues. i know that you can the and join the scouts. now you could be a leader. you mentioned girls are allowed to formally join. you had your first eagle scouts that were girls graduate. so that had to be exciting. what is the over our king sort of message to america as part of this name change. >> well, you know, we've had we've had some head winds along the way, but that just like a lot of society has done so we're behind all that now. and this is america message to the 2 american families that that we think that that were the answer to to some of our communities issues and that we can with that. with that, we can come out ahead in the community. if if family she's looked at scouting. so your mission is to instill values
5:48 pm
that last for a lifetime. we still have the same scow knows we still have the same scout law if parents take a look at i think they'll think that, you know, we've got we've got an edge to us that that we want to be a part of the community. still, we've been around a long time, we need to remind people were here and this is. this is a reason to do that. yeah, re-branding, i guess would make sense to distance yourself from certain aspects of of what it was associated with >> membership was falling. so do you feel that be it creating more of an umbrella of inclusivity will help boost your numbers? and and and i have to ask this for those who didn't grow up in the generation of being part of boy scouts scouting. what exactly does it does it entail? this is the new scouting america. >> so so so most folks, when they think a boy scouting, they probably think of of the outdoor program. and we've
5:49 pm
always used the outdoor program as a laboratory to deliver our mission. we have we think we're the premier organization when it comes to installing values and and leadership training for you. sweet. he one of most important elements of our program is teaching. you count of the eu leaders and so we think that the family, if a family puts a scout, girl boy, you know, young man, young woman in our program that. the that the outcomes will be that there their son or daughter will be more successful, will be successful business or couple career in of some kind successful in life us up as a your parent you know, studies have shown up you know, we need to do a better job of telling, you know, telling families real quickly where we're out of time. but >> another issue is the girl scouts. and, you know, they have kind of resented. i think
5:50 pm
you opening it up to girls. it has hurt their membership. and there's been a lawsuit. i know. what do you say to the girl scouts out there who might have questions about your re-branding? >> i mean, i i i hope we're past that. i hope, but i know i've had lots of conversation for girl scout leaders and, you know, there's there's plenty of the market sure out there for all of us. we just want to help our community you know, we think both of us can work together. hopefully to to help families grow succeed and instill values that last for a lifetime. >> all right. well, thank you so much for taking the time to talk to mike hale from the golden gate area council scout thank you for updating thanks, mike. thank you. good luck good evening. >> all right. let's take a peek outside as we look there at the bay bridge toll plaza. pretty light it's been warm and apparently the heat is on.
5:51 pm
>> this may be the nicest forecast i've given all year long. how about that? laughs finally getting to that sunshine in the warm weather looking good. >> as we head toward the rest the weekend, it's going to be windy in spots. but overall, i think most of us are just going to be enjoying that sunshine. maybe some beach weather to get out there and enjoy as well. look at that. nice and clear right now out toward the golden gate bridge. i think it stays mostly clear overnight tonight as those offshore winds begin to settle in, we may see just a patch to a foggy for those offshore winds really kick in tonight. but nice evening coming our way. of course, these temperatures started a bump up just a bit. in fact, today we started to see some warming as much as 7 degrees warmer in santa rosa compared to 24 hours ago. and we're going to see that on the increase, especially by tomorrow afternoon. so high today, 64 degrees in san francisco. 68 in oakland start to see 70's popping up in some of the interior about 75 in concord and 76 degrees above the average. now in santa rosa tonight, we'll see mostly clear skies. some gusty winds going to be settling in overnight tonight, especially in the north and the east bay. and then with the coastlines
5:52 pm
could be windy is going to be warm windy us in the morning. and those winds will taper off a little bit in the afternoon only to pick up again late tomorrow night into thursday morning. so high pressure overhead, take care of us up pretty well. now that ridge going to settle over the next couple of north northwesterly wind right now. but that's going to turn northerly overnight tonight into early tomorrow morning. and that means we're going to see some beautiful weather to those winds kind of switching directions there. that's that offshore flow that we're talking about going to be gusty and parts of the north and the east bay. otherwise clear, skies can't find hardly a cloud in the sky as we head toward tomorrow afternoon. so all that being said, temperatures are going to work out just fine. how about 71 downtown temperatures go tomorrow, 70 in daly city about 63 of the civic and sunny. 74 millbrae 78 in brisbane. warming up as you head down the peninsula. some of those temperatures turning the 80's as you make your way in the south bay east bay. also looking at some nice numbers, maybe mid 80's pleasanton livermore and the tri valley. >> about 81 a walnut creek. 81 hercules 80 in napa been on the windy side. 81 degrees in sandra fell. so you get the
5:53 pm
