She’s earned multiple regional Emmy awards, a national and a regional Edward R. Murrow award, and was named Best Beat Reporter by the Association of Health Care Journalists. The Society of Professional Journalists has recognized her work several times, and the Society of Environmental Journalists spotlighted her coverage of California’s historic drought.\r\n\r\nBefore joining KQED in 2016, Lesley covered food and sustainability for Capital Public Radio, environmental issues for Colorado Public Radio, and reported for KUOW and KCTS 9 in Seattle. Away from the newsroom, she loves skiing with her daughter, mountain biking with her partner, and playing with Ollie, the family’s goldendoodle. On deadline, she runs almost entirely on chocolate chips.\r\n\r\n ",

The North Bay will be hit hardest and first, with Napa and Sonoma expected to get 4–6 inches of rain inland and 7 inches on the coast between Wednesday and Thursday night. Up to 10 inches could fall in areas north of Healdsburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco could also be hit with up to an inch and a half of rainfall during the first wave of the storm, which is made up of two low-pressure systems, according to Sarment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that after the first sweeps through midweek, the second is expected to begin Friday and extend through the weekend, reaching farther south and inland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Significant rainfall is again likely in the North Bay and San Francisco this weekend. Both regions are forecast to get about the same amount of rain as earlier in the week, if not slightly less. As the storm pushes south, it’s expected to lose steam, with total rainfall predictions under an inch in the South Bay, except for the Santa Cruz Mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite early forecasts that flooding risk was low, a flood watch has been put in place in Napa, Sonoma and Marin counties for Wednesday through Friday morning.

By 11, they retreated to their air-conditioned classrooms, where they stayed active by moving through an obstacle course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Restructuring play time is just one part of the preschool’s overall strategy to adapt to extreme heat and other climate-driven events that are affecting young children in the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of their families have had to evacuate from their homes multiple times in recent years, beginning with the destructive North Bay wildfires in 2017 — either to avoid fire danger, unhealthy smoke created by the fires, or power shutoffs meant to prevent high winds from sparking another fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you look at what these kids have experienced during the first six years of their lives, the world is very unpredictable, dangerous and scary,” said Susan Gilmore, president of North Bay Children’s Center, which operates Fitch Mountain and 13 other preschools in Sonoma and Marin counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really about helping them build resiliency,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fitch Mountain operates in a space rented from a local elementary school. About six years ago, it got permission from the school to rip up asphalt in the play yard and replace it with an edible garden. Mulch covers most of the ground except for the tricycle track and the outdoor dining area. The staff repurposed redwood tree stumps to form steps up to a slide and planted willows to create a tunnel-shaped structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a hot day, you can go in and [the structure] can be as much as 20 degrees cooler,” said Teresa Fogolini, who directs the gardening and nutrition program for the center. “And it’s a living structure, so the children are learning and seeing and watching it grow over the years.”\u003ci> \u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12007549\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241002-CHILDCARE-AND-CLIMATE-CHANGE-MD-07-KQED.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12007549\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241002-CHILDCARE-AND-CLIMATE-CHANGE-MD-07-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"An arched tunnel made out of willow trees in a garden.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241002-CHILDCARE-AND-CLIMATE-CHANGE-MD-07-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241002-CHILDCARE-AND-CLIMATE-CHANGE-MD-07-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241002-CHILDCARE-AND-CLIMATE-CHANGE-MD-07-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241002-CHILDCARE-AND-CLIMATE-CHANGE-MD-07-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241002-CHILDCARE-AND-CLIMATE-CHANGE-MD-07-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241002-CHILDCARE-AND-CLIMATE-CHANGE-MD-07-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An arched tunnel made out of willow trees at Fitch Mountain Preschool in Healdsburg, part of the North Bay Children’s Center, on Oct. 2, 2024. \u003ccite>(Martin do Nascimento/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Reducing children’s exposure to heat has become increasingly urgent as human-caused climate change \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1994643/yes-these-california-heat-waves-are-connected-to-climate-change-heres-how\">has increased the frequency, size, intensity, and duration of heat waves\u003c/a>.

The bill \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12009203/california-senate-passes-bill-aimed-at-preventing-gas-price-spikes\">passed the Senate\u003c/a> on Friday with a 23–9 majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12007232/california-lawmakers-pass-legislation-prevent-gas-price-spikes\">previous Assembly vote\u003c/a>, Assemblymembers Jasmeet Bains (D–Delano) and Esmeralda Soria (D–Fresno) joined Republican lawmakers opposing the bill, while 44 voted in favor. The other 17 lawmakers abstained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='gas-prices']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Newsom has touted the bill as a way to protect consumers from surging gas prices, Reheis-Boyd argued that it could increase prices if refiners are forced to maintain a reserve.
