SAN FRANCISCO, CA — As we head into the new week, we've rounded up the stories you may have missed Saturday and Sunday to prepare you for Monday.
But before we jump into Northern California's top stories, mostly clear and sunny skies are expected across the region on Monday, with cloud cover and fog in some areas, according to the National Weather Service.
"Cool temperatures through Tuesday; warming trend and above normal temperatures starting mid to late week," National Weather San Francisco forecasters wrote Sunday. "Coastal flooding during high tides through mid-week. Hazardous beach conditions continue through Monday evening due to increased risk of sneaker waves, rip currents, and large breaking waves."
In other news, a father and two children were found dead in a suspected murder-suicide; two retired police officers were among three people found dead in a Marin County home; and a wild chase through Contra Costa County ended with two arrests.
Also, a suspected gun trafficker was arrested and equipment used to manufacture ghost guns was seized; a man was arrested in connection with a fatal shooting; and a school board member resigned after a restraining order was issued against him but remains on the ballot.
Plus, nine recently signed California laws aim to protect consumers from hidden fees, scams and rising costs, with new rules affecting everything from car purchases and concert tickets to insurance claims and electricity bills.
