we have high clouds coming in and temperatures today feeling a bit more like summer than fall. i'll have a full look at your sunday forecast coming up.

>> it got hot yesterday afternoon as we were playing in the backyard. >> inland valleys will be warm. numbers in the 80s and i think some low 90s today. the coast and north bay will see changes. mostly clear except patchy low clouds and fog around san francisco and the coast. 54 in san jose. look at fairfield, 58 degrees. look at the wind in fairfield, sea breeze barely reaching solano county right now. onshore winds will pick up this afternoon dropping temperatures a little bit around the north

bay. we have patchy fog to start the day. increasing high clouds is the first fall weather system trying to drop down into northern california. we'll show you that in satellite view in a moment. through the week, inland temperatures will drop a bit. they'll come back up again as it looks like we're getting a bonus week of summer in terms of temperatures in the first week of fall. satellite radar view you can see the system dropping down to the east of the sierra. don't expect to see showers out of this. you're going to see clouds come in making for nice sunrise this morning. those are high clouds starting to see there. future cast through the morning, just has patches of low clouds around the coast and bay. here comes that line of high clouds right on top of us as we head through the afternoon. filtered sunshine today. that should also knock down temperatures just a little bit too as those high clouds go through the bay area into the evening and behind the system we'll see the sea breeze pick up dropping temperatures a couple degrees inland today and probably a few degrees more as we head into tomorrow and tuesday. so temperatures around the bay area, we're looking at mainly

mid 80s around san jose. south of san jose down into morgan hill and gilroy, a chance we may get close to 90s before the sea breeze picks up late this afternoon. east bay as hot as mid 90s yesterday. the sea breeze turning on a little bit sooner today as the system starts to go by and around the north bay 70s and 80s in the forecast. 60s and 70s around san francisco. comfortab comfortable. the sea breeze will pick up strongly as we head toward evening. you can see over the next three days, a slight bump down and temperatures inland valleys and then past the middle part of the week, numbers will come up. some of the extended range forecast models do bring some mid 90s possibly back as we head toward next weekend so again now that we're kind of in the driest time of year, what we have to watch for are offshore winds. that's the combination of wind and hot and dry temperatures like that that could cause issues. winds don't look like a problem right now but again we're still seeing summerlike temperatures

in the seven-day forecast. >> hopefully we'll get rain in the forecast at some point. all right. thank you very much. the sikh community was a target of a lone gunman that opened fire in a temple in august in wisconsin. six weeks later, the bay area sikh community, largest in the country, gathered to raise money and awareness and to show everyone that their values are american values. more than 400 sikhs and other community members took off from the starting line of the 5k fund-raiser for the sikh coalition, a national civil rights organization. part of what they do is to educate people about who the half million sikhs are. >> sikh values are american values. we believe in honesty. we believe in giving back to the community. we believe in the oneness of god. we also have a strong tradition and belief in social justice. if you look at american values and you look at sikh values, they are perfectly aligned. >> because of that, so many bay area sikhs were shocked that a

lone gunman would open fire at a sikh temple in oak creek, wisconsin, last month. the runners and walkers observed a moment of silence in honor of the six victims before taking off raising $75,000 and raising awareness. >> i want people to know about, like, that it's good to support us and it's not right to shoot us. >> it's so nice because all of my religion people are here and it feels really good. >> they're all here to support the sikhs so it's nice to be here and to see so many people here too. >> we're like any other person. there's no need to not be friends with us. >> it's amazing. i haven't seen a lot of this other than at my temple. most of the time we stayed reserved. little groups here and there. >> reporter: there are half a million sikhs living in america. half of them in california. fremont in particular. most people were exposed to the sikhs because of that mass shooting. they know while wearing turbans and scarfs could make them easy

targets, they work hard to live in their religion. >> you see the kids and hear everyone, it's about the community moving forward and being inspired. >> kris sanchez, nbc bay area new year's. here we are again. in san francisco, walkers are getting ready for another run. they will take part in the american foundation for suicide prevention's annual out of the darkness community walk. registration starts at 8:00. the walk kicks off at 9:00 this morning. money raised will go to research and education programs to prevent suicides and save lives and increasing awareness about depression and suicide. this weekend is a good time to get your hair cut. all 15 sport clips haircut salons and barber shops are taking part in that fund-raiser donating a portion of all sales to the homes for wounded warriors program. it was started by an nfl player who plays for the minnesota

>> in october the lights will begin to be hung and by march of next year there will be a grand lighting ceremony. >> the artist plans to install 25,000 programmable l.e.d. lights on the north side of the bridge's western span. the lights will be attached to the bridge's suspension cables with the display being programmed. >> i'm interested in sequences that will display patterns based on all of the motion that i find around the bridge. >> the group raised 5.5 of the $8 million needed to fund the project and got agencies from the coast guard to chp to caltrans to sign off on it. >> a lot of permits was required but this group has been committed and innovative and have been able to go through the maze of the agencies they have to bettinteract with. >> reporter: crews will hang

lights at night to minimize traffic impacts and once installed they won't be visible to drivers. everyone else will get an eye full. >> you couldn't invest enough money in margareti imargaret ma images that will be seen around the world. >> $100 million in revenue will be committed during the two-year run and lights will coincide with the eastern span of the bay bridge. >> i think it really is a gift. >> reporter: joe rosato, jr., nbc bay area news. much more ahead, coming up, the new bill signed into law that makes it easier for women to get birth control. details on that coming up.

looking live at downtown san jose. you can see sunshine that will spill over the silicon valley and beyond. it will be a nice fall day today. two initiatives on the november 6th ballot intend to rescue public education in california but divided voter loyalties may defeat both. nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston is here to explain

this. let's talk about what's going on here. the bills sound very similar. >> at first blush they do. talk about proposition 30, proposition 38, both of which focus on public education in california. to understand this, let's do a little history. we'll go back in time here. the legislature and the governor last june passed a budget that was unbalanced by $8 billion. $8 billion. why? because they didn't have the money. they couldn't get any tax increase support from republicans. so governor jerry brown and his allies went ahead and qualified a ballot initiative that would raise income taxes for seven years on the wealthiest, raise the sales tax by a quarter cent for several years and that's the idea behind proposition 30. all of that money, virtually all of it, would go toward public education. therefore, balancing the state budget in the process. that's the idea. now some might ask why public education? what's going on here? the reason is because they cut another $8 billion last june

from all of the other subject areas. education takes up about half. half of the state spending. this is where the money goes if in fact the voters go along. >> that's the simplest explanation we can get. it's way more complicated than that and that's why there are two competing measures, right? >> now we got to drill down. some critics say wait a second. this is a ground proposal that didn't go far enough. among them was molly who is a wealthy attorney and she's qualified her own initiative, proposition 38 raisie ining inc taxes for all californians with all proceeds once again earmarked for public education. here's the problem. the presence of two competing initiatives on the ballot has potential to confuse voters and guess what? confuse voters tend to vote no. >> okay. so how are they doing in the polls? at this point we're 46 days away

from the election. 45 days away from the election. they have to have a pretty good margin if you can even expect for them to pass in november. >> we talked about this. here are latest results from the field poll released the other day. if you look at proposition 30, leading and you look at proposition 38 and it's 41-44. just losing slightly. not so good. on the surface, you say 51-36, piece of cake. home run and we're done. no. no. no. as we talked about many times before, a money proposition needs to have about 60% going in. why? because people tend to have second thoughts. more taxes, i don't know. you look at one here that's got 51% right now. if you're jerry brown, you have to bite your fingernails. that's the problem. you put that along with 38, people say, 38, i don't know. i'm confused. more taxes. you can see why it's in trouble. >> okay. so what happens if jerry brown's

measure prop 30 fails? >> it's the classic tradeoff. those making over $250,000 annually, not going to have to pay any extra income taxes. rest of us won't have to pay that additional quarter cent sales tax. terrific. no more taxes. that leaves the state without that $8 billion budget matter they needed which will force governor brown to cut three weeks from the current school year for public education, three weeks, and make some incredibly drastic cuts in higher education as well. you put it all together, a lot at stake here. you raise taxes or you see public education pretty much clobbered for this year and next year because there won't be the money. there's your choice. high stakes election. >> will we see more of an information blitz then? people can still register to vote. are they going to be bombarded with more information from the camps? >> i expect so. she's already raised $25 million. she dumped in her own money.
