Here we go again. A low-pressure system from the Gulf of Alaska is forecast to impact the San Francisco Bay Area from Monday through Wednesday, bringing more rain and wind to a region that was battered by a storm less than a week ago. This system is expected to reach peak intensity over the Pacific Ocean off the coast of the California-Oregon border before drifting south along the California coast and passing by the Bay Area. The storm is expected to bring less severe impacts to the region than the last area of low pressure that passed directly over San Francisco, said Rick Canepa, a forecaster with the National Weather Service. The National Weather Service expanded the Monday-Tuesday wind advisory to include the North Bay, East Bay and eastern Santa Clara hills in addition to the coastal areas. The advisory is in effect Monday night through Tuesday afternoon, with peak gusts expected to be up to 40 to 50 mph.

Humza Yousaf revealed as new SNP leader after fiery five-week contest

Responding to the news, Nicola Sturgeon said he will be an "outstanding leader" and "could not be prouder" to have him succeed her. In his victory speech, he said he was "honoured" to be entrusted by the SNP membership after winning the leadership election. He added: "It is hard for me to find the words to describe just how honoured I am to be entrusted by our membership of the SNP to be the party's next leader and to be on the cusp of being our country's next … [Read more...] about Humza Yousaf revealed as new SNP leader after fiery five-week contest

Davis’ Earlier Victims Say They’re Still Troubled
Four women testified yesterday they still bear the psychological scars inflicted by the convicted killer of Polly Klaas, even though as much as 20 years have passed since he attacked them. The women told a San Jose jury they still sleep with the lights on, become frightened when approached on the street by strangers and have sought counseling. Prosecutor Greg Jacobs is trying to show the harm Richard Allen Davis has wrought in victims' lives during more than two decades of crime, reinforcing his argument that the 42-year-old convict deserves the death penalty. In another development yesterday, a juror reported to Superior Court Judge Thomas Hastings that she had inadvertently seen a photo of Davis giving an obscene gesture when the verdict was read. The juror said she was eating with friends the day after the June 18 verdict, when a man at the lunch counter opened a paper and she couldn't help but see the photo of Davis extending the middle finger of each hand.
