5:32 pm

5:33 pm
election? >> so the technology changes daily and the threat actors change daily as well. so one of the things they do, when they're hacking into email accounts and hacking into websites and things like that, they'll use a lot of like forged credentials. a lot of us get these emails that say hey, you need to sign in. you need to revalidate your email account. suddenly all that does is gives them the keys to the kingdom. they can get into websites. a lot of these actors are trying really hard constantly probing and pinging different websites for our government facilities, most of which are protected obviously, but it still doesn't prevent them from trying to get in. >> it's scary to see how good these bad actors have gotten at scams and infiltrating different organizations. the director of national intelligence said that the u.s., though, is better prepared than ever to stop these bad actors. so how do you
5:34 pm
try to prevent outside influence in our elections? >> well, the outside influence, we'll have to deal with that. i think one of the things they really would like to sort of put a lid on is these bad actors infiltrating our organizations or into legitimate email accounts and things like that. you and i are good examples. we get emails every day and our busy lives don't allow us to really pay attention to what we're clicking on. those are the problems because if you start clicking on things you don't know what they are, suddenly now your email can be attacked. your system can be attacked. if it was cbs or something like that, then all of a sudden these bad actors are able to insert malware or they're able to put bot features in that allow things to happen you wouldn't normally see in a regular cycle of election. >> what are your tips for
5:35 pm
people at home as the election gets closer? we'll get more emails from different campaigns, different groups. you're clicking on stuff. then maybe something catches your eye. advice for staying out of trouble. >> it's real simple. it's the practice i use every day. you don't know who it's from, delete it. don't open it. don't open an attachment. you got to make sure you take your time when you're looking at your emails. we all get busy. i find myself even doing it, kind of scanning through there and all of a sudden you open something and it's like oh, no, it's not from the person i thought it was. look at email headers. a lot of times they look experience and have characters out of place or misspelled. just have to be careful what you open and what you receive. >> former fbi special agent in charge, jeff harp. thank you so much. >> bye. the dow briefly broke past the 40,000 mark for the very
5:36 pm
first time ever fueled by an encouraging inflation report, but despite the bump earlier in the day all three major indices ended lower for the day. >> a lot of this is on the backdrop of an incredibly high interest rate environment and uncertain path forward for the u.s. central bank. we don't know what the rest of their year will look like. we know they have five more meetings and we're seeing a lot more cracks in the consumer. >> the fed's next chance to drop interest rates is june, but economists say a change is unlikely. here's the closing numbers, the dow ending the day 130 points shy of 40,000, nasdaq and s&p slight my ly off on the day as well. up next people looking to revitalize a neighborhood they believe is essential to the survival of san francisco. >> this is the heart of this city. staffing his place in history, how the u.s. postal

5:47 pm
conditions from all of california. 0% of the state is technically in drought and just over 1% in the state in the far southeastern corner in the desert is considered to be abnormally dry even by desert standards. that is the lowest number in abnormally dry conditions in 13 years. it was down to 0% at that point. then we had the long drought followed by the one we just broke out of about 18 months or so ago. things are looking pretty good, but you see all the ups and downs in the chart since the year 2000. drought is cyclical. very few changes to the big picture weather pattern, the storm track pushed way up to our north. let's look at where the high temperatures topped out today, close to normal, a mix of 60s and 70s in the north bay, around the bay 63 degrees in
5:48 pm
san francisco, 67 in oakland, 1 degree below average, climbed up to 62 for half moon bay, low to mid-70s for fremont and redwood city, 82 degrees in antioch, upper 70s for livermore, low 70s for concord. the onshore breeze made its way into that part of the east bay. the santa clara valley and santa cruz mountains blocking the marine influence, up to 80 degrees in san jose. let's look what we expect to change the next several days. what's not changing is the fog, temperatures in the process of changing from the highs already dropping down to the 60s, 70s still in livermore and san jose. the fog is widespread to start the day tomorrow, visibility for most of the bay area, allow extra time to navigate through the fog going to work. it backs up to the bay by mid to late morning and to the coast by midday, a little
5:49 pm
sunshine speaking through along the coast, emphasis on a little bit. temperatures tonight dropping down to the low to mid-50s, high temperatures tomorrow very close to what's normal for this time of year, everybody within 2 or 3 degrees on either side of average. let's zoom in. right around 60 degrees along the coast, mostly 70s for santa clara valley and south bay with temperatures inland in the east bay showing a few 80s far inland generally on the east side of the diablo range. temperatures are slightly warmer for much of the north bay, low to mid-70s instead of 60s we had today. farther north we're talking about 80s for inland mendocino county and lake county. the ten-day temperature outlook takes us into memorial day weekend right around the corner, some ups and downs. livermore includes a baby warm-up monday and tuesday, near normal temperatures the rest of next week and a little cooler to start the holiday weekend and we should bounce back through the rest of the
5:50 pm
holiday weekend. let's look at the seven-day forecast with inland parts of the bay area where temperatures tonight change a lot, the baby warm-up monday and tuesday next week. we're not talking about hot weather anytime soon. around the bay temperatures go up and down a little bit but not to the extent as inland, mostly upper 60s to around 70 degrees and if you really want consistency, right along the coast temperatures stay in the upper 50s, maybe a couple days, just above 60 degrees monday and tuesday, plenty of may gray to go around. >> thanks, paul. time for a check of what's ahead at 6:00. let's switch over to juliette. >> at 6:00 it's the second part of our cbs news investigation, thousands of guns once carried by police ending up in the hands of criminals. it is the consequence of a police policy to sell used weapons. we look at which bay area law enforcement agencies are doing this. one local sheriff tells us why his department made the conscious decision to destroy,
