When he hung up, Shehadeh said with a laugh, “Some people call me to ask me, ‘When is Ramadan?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a fair question. Ramadan follows the lunar calendar, starting after the sighting of the new moon, which is the subject of an annual debate.

An atmospheric river is approaching the region and is expected to settle in the Bay Area by the middle of next week, bringing with it more fog and drizzle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Weather Service also announced a \u003ca href=\"https://www.weather.gov/mtr/\">high surf advisory and beach hazards statement\u003c/a> for Pacific Coast beaches beginning early Thursday morning and continuing into Friday. Meteorologists are urging residents to look out for potential rip currents, high breaking waves and other hazardous weather conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The region is in a state of transition, said Rick Canepa, another meteorologist at the weather service. Some inconsistency in weather conditions across the Bay Area is expected as cool air and moisture filters into and around the atmosphere, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Forecast models can have trouble trying to predict the more precise location of an atmospheric river because just a slight shift over the Pacific makes a difference by the time it reaches the coast,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rain starting Wednesday and continuing through the rest of the month will likely be beneficial showers, Canepa said. By early April, however, there’s a chance the changes in atmosphere and a drop in pressure could bring in a stronger storm system with heavier rains and winds in certain areas. As the spring season continues, it will get more tricky to forecast exact weather, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area residents should expect the wet and cold to continue as cloudy conditions persist, he said. It’s likely that swimsuits and flip-flops will have to stay stored away for at least the next few weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Even if it wins voter approval, the proposed tax measure will not be enough by itself to erase the deficits the Bay Area’s biggest transit agencies are facing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear how much money the proposed three-county sales tax would raise, but the Metropolitan Transportation Commission has estimated that a four-county tax including San Mateo County would raise $560 million a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART is projecting deficits of more than $350 million a year starting in July 2026. Muni forecasts a yearly shortfall of more than $300 million. Deficits at AC Transit and Caltrain are smaller but erasing them would still require significant service cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To maintain transit operations at a level close to current levels, officials in San Francisco and at BART have discussed supplemental revenue measures that would also likely appear on ballots in 2026.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area transit agencies have received billions of dollars in federal and state emergency funding to make up for fare revenue lost during the COVID-19 pandemic. But with that funding running out, transit operators, elected officials and transportation advocates across the region have been looking to a regional tax to avoid deep cuts in bus, train and ferry services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A regional measure has also been seen as a vehicle to pay for making transit more frequent, reliable and affordable across the region. It would do that not only by helping agencies purchase more vehicles, but by integrating fares and schedules among agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
