(Answer at the bottom of the newsletter.)

Friday’s forecast is a soft symphony of gray, with a high of 63°F nestled beneath a blanket of clouds. The wind, a subtle ENE breeze at 6 mph, will rustle the leaves in a gentle cadence. The UV index remains a low whisper at 2, giving a brief pause to the sun's fervor.

As evening unfurls, the temperature will gracefully descend to a low of 51°F, while the clouds persist in their watchful cover. The wind shifts subtly to a SE direction at 4 mph, maintaining its light touch throughout the night. Humidity climbs to a snug 81%, draping the twilight hours in a cloak of moisture. The moon will transition into its first quarter, making its grand entrance at 10:50 am and taking its leave by 1:00 am. Anticipate a day as soothing as the soft hush of a library hall! ☁️🌓

Community and Conservation Clash with Utility Company's Safety Measures

A Walnut Creek homeowner is clashing with PG&E over its plan to remove more than a dozen oak trees from her property, citing compliance with safety regulations due to the trees' proximity to high voltage lines. The homeowner has fortified her property and hired an attorney to contest PG&E's decision, which marks a departure from a long-standing agreement to prune rather than remove the trees. The homeowner values the trees for privacy and sentimental reasons, while PG&E stresses the necessity of their removal for community safety and to prevent potential emergencies. Learn More
