Rahu Kaal, Abhijit Muhurat, Choghadiya and Hora are fractions of the local day, so they move with sunrise and sunset. San Francisco sits at 37.77°N, 122.42°W, 16 m above sea level, in the America/Los_Angeles time zone.
Tithi and Nakshatra end at the same instant everywhere, but the local clock time differs, and the Tithi at San Francisco's own sunrise decides which date a festival or vrat falls on here.
Krishna Shashthi is the tithi at sunrise (07:33 AM) in San Francisco and lasts until 04:28 AM, Oct 31. The tithi at sunrise names the day.

A Panchang is the Hindu almanac. For each day it gives five details (panch anga, "five parts"): Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (the Moon's lunar mansion), Yoga (a Sun–Moon combination) and Karana (half a Tithi), along with sunrise-based timings used to choose a Muhurat.
Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daytime (sunrise to sunset), assigned to Rahu by weekday. Traditionally people avoid starting new ventures, signing agreements or beginning journeys in it. Because it depends on local sunrise and sunset, it differs from city to city and day to day.
A Tithi is the time the Moon takes to gain 12° on the Sun, so it can end at any hour. By convention the Tithi prevailing at sunrise names the day, which is why a festival can fall on a different civil date in different places.
