phase of an ports expansion into the city and port, is one of the world's largest automotive shipping companies. >> the first ship that came from imports came from china. they brought some buicks over and now they're shipping them off to the east coast. >> hernandez thorpe also sees this as an opportunity to showcase how the region is building up its infrastructure, such as in east contra costa county with its micro transit system that connects pittsburg, antioch, brentwood and oakley, and how antioch deep water ports can help distinguish the city as another gateway to california. >> i don't think we're striving to be oakland, uh, but we are. i think we can be like benicia. we can be like, west sacramento. >> this year's leadership team includes mayors from san carlos, east palo alto and oakley. their first stop meetings in hong kong. >> we're not competing for, you know, just small mom and pop shops. we're also competing for, businesses that traditionally have not been out here in east county. and so that's why this trip is so important in antioch. >> anser hassan abc seven news. >> happening today, organizers

least we're going to brighten up a little bit. there's a look at mount tam. that sun comes up at 556 this morning. and a look at the current numbers, ranging from about 50, in redwood city, 52 san francisco. there's fog at half moon bay, 53. in oakland, hayward is at 56, and there is san jose, where temperatures this morning are pretty much all in the 50s. a few cooler upper 40s in petaluma. there's 53 in concord, and yesterday we had that push of low clouds all the way across the bay. so starting out this morning for the bay to breakers partly sunny and cool. and then as we get into the afternoon, a nice day with more sunshine. monday and tuesday is our warm up. and then as we get into later in the week, gusty winds and sharply cooler. so here's a look at the fog footprint this morning. you can see it up in the north bay all the way down the coast. and just a few patches over here towards the east bay. but then by about 730 8:00 it is on the move and it dissipates. so we'll be looking at sunshine and then those winds increasing. so 7:00

next couple of hours about 53 degrees, partly cloudy and then into the mid 50s as we get through the morning hours with that sun. and it looks like the winds kicking up throughout the afternoon. so breezy to start out with 15 to 20 miles an hour. but throughout the afternoon these gusts increased from 30 to 40 miles an hour point. raise the marin county coast and right around half moon bay there so as we look at the warmest day of the week, which will be tuesday, notice we've got mid and upper 80s out towards our east bay valleys, the mid 70s to upper 70s, bay shore. look at that 73 in oakland, in san francisco in the 60s. but we get that cooling as soon as wednesday. not too much cooling because you'll notice that we're still holding on to the 80s. but the trend is for the cooler weather to arrive as we get into the latter part of the week. and there's a look at thursday, where temperatures are pleasant, but the winds will be kicking up again and just in time for the holiday weekend. it is looking like some cooler than

average weather. here's a look at your highs today for sunday we've got the winds building at the coast sunshine. but despite that, still in the upper 50s half moon bay looking at 65 san francisco, upper 60s in oakland, so near average up to about 80 today. santa rosa 78. in concord with 76 in san jose. so the accuweather 70 forecast sunny and milder today. the warming begins tomorrow and that summer-like warmth takes hold on tuesday. still mild to warm out there by wednesday. and then the breeze kicks up. the fog expands and we are cooler as we get set into the memorial day weekend. stephanie. >> lisa, thanks. just ahead, why people high on fentanyl can't stand up straight. a greater understanding of the drug's effect that can help us build a better

understand just what fentanyl does to the human body. one thing you may have witnessed people so high, they're just bent over what causes that stance and what are the long term impacts? our building a better bay area reporter, lyanne melendez, looked into what is happening and has an answer. people bent over, appearing as if they were frozen in place is a common sight in san francisco's tenderloin district. >> the simple explanation it's a degree of loss of consciousness and a degree of loss of muscular control. >> fentanyl is responsible, but the effects of the opioid continue to linger on as the person continues with their daily life, in most cases, awake but not able to stand up. we bumped into andy burger, who tried to explain his physical state at that moment. when did you use last? use fentanyl. today so it's still obviously in your body? yeah for sure. and you're not able to, you know, straighten up.

>> i mean i can it just like it hurts a lot to have to do that. >> fentanyl can be both a short acting drug and a long acting drug. so some people, they're back upright in 45 minutes to an hour. and some people could be longer than that. >> doctor daniel ceccaroni is a ucsf professor of addiction medicine. he says fentanyl in long term users takes time to clear out of the system, because the drug tends to accumulate in the fat tissue. the research community has yet to determine if fentanyl impacts your spine at all. berger, meanwhile, told us he's more concerned about his swollen legs than his back. >> people's legs, legs swell up, sores on them like that. >> what researchers think might be happening there is that because the chemical is acidic, in some cases, it eventually makes veins collapse. >> i just didn't care about anything. drugs was my only driving force every day. benkhert once a heavy fentanyl user, weighed only 100 pounds

when a spine infection sent him to the emergency room. i wore a hole in my leg from being in the wheelchair so long and that got infected, and then that infection went into my spine. >> mind you, campofrio had existing back issues. his pain is what drove him to addiction. the use of fentanyl made his condition even worse. because of that infection. you csf surgeons had to remove two of his discs. and as seen in this spine health animation, two implants were inserted, providing more spacing between the vertebrae. this relieved the pressure on the nerves. kemper frida now lives in oregon and considers himself among the few able to get off fentanyl. earlier this year, he hiked the well-known camino de santiago de compostela in spain. that's approximately 550 miles. how's your back? >> my back is great. i'm in better shape than i've been in

since i was 20. i exercise every day, i'm. i stay very active. i'm just. i'm very grateful that i had the second chance at getting my life together. for now, i'm great. i'm staying healthy, and that's. that's the most important thing to me in san francisco. >> leon melendez, abc seven news in san francisco. >> the debate continues over harm reduction versus abstinence , and ben agrees that if you can backfire, if you can force someone into treatment. but he also acknowledges that the reason he is clean, free of fentanyl is because he was forced to be hospitalized for his back. coming up in our next half hour on abc, seven mornings, frustration grows in the middle east term oil in israel's war cabinet. as the idf forces move into rafah. plus severe storms across the south hitting millions of americans. we take a look at the damage

hour with a look at the weather. and lisa is here. >> yeah, we have that fog, but it is dense at the coast and it's patchy across the bay, so that's going to work out well for bay to breakers. and as we look at the golden gate bridge you'll notice that you see that line there. so it is not as widespread as it was yesterday. 52 san francisco half moon bay. there is fog there, 54 in san jose with hayward checking in at 56 in mount tam, the sun coming up at in another 25 minutes. low 50s santa rosa fog in the north bay through petaluma and along the marin county coastline. and as a result, we are anywhere from 2 to 7 degrees cooler. this morning. so look at what happens at 8:00. the fog is just around half moon bay and points south, and we will brighten up all across the bay. 11 12:00 near 70 inland and then mid and upper 70s with the breezy and cool day at the shoreline.

two run shot to center. all of a sudden we're tied on his fourth of the year. bottom five though still tied at two. a starter ross stripling gives it the go ahead run to vinnie pasquantino rbi single, three two royals. and when he does something good, a squatch appears there in kc. a's lose five three. that's seven straight losses. they're up to ten games under 500. moving day the pga championship at valhalla in louisville, kentucky justin thomas grew up in the area and the hometown kid. check this out on 14. talk about a shot of the day. follow the yellow line. in for the birdie. he's tied for 10th, five strokes off the pace. cal's colin morikawa took the lead on 15 when this rolled around and in he's at 15 under tied for the lead with xander schauffele heading into what's going to be a great championship sunday. saw it right here on abc seven. mavs trying to close out the thunder okc up by as many as 17. but luka doncic gives dallas the lead late with that fade away. dirk loves it. luka had a team

high 29. shai gilgeous-alexander had a game high 36 as he drains this back and forth. we went down the fourth quarter final seconds, mavs down one, doncic in trouble. pj washington with the ball, fouled on a wild shot in the corner. it was reviewed and upheld. he makes the free throws and then the desperation heave no good. mavs win 117, 116. they'll face denver or the denver minnesota winner that is in the western conference finals . that is your look at sports. have a great sunday. let's send things back to you. >> thanks chris. the giants take on the rockies again today. first pitch is at 105. and then we're about two hours out from the start of bay to breakers. how's it looking, lisa? >> well, we have patchy fog. and now with the sun up just about nine minutes away, we can see once again that the fog, the extent of it is patchy across the bay. it is really confined to the shoreline. san francisco, up towards the marin county coast, and 7:00, where partly

cloudy, low 50s climbing through the 50s. and by the time the race finishes or thereabouts, noontime at the ocean will be near 60. it will be sunny, and those winds kicking up throughout the day today, so high pressure is well offshore. a trough to the north of us allowing for still temperatures near average in spots, but below average with that wind kicking up. and there's a look at that fog footprint this morning from the north bay to the coastline here. and then just look how quickly it fades away through the seven 8:00 hour and then even swept away, dissipating there, evaporating at the coast. uh- exploratorium camera right now you can see looks pretty good out there. it is cool though. 50 redwood city, 50 two half moon bay in san francisco, 53 oakland hayward. good morning at 57. and a look at the airport where you can see just kind of a diffuse layer there of the low cloud deck. it is 51 in napa with 48 in petaluma, and some fog to the north. the airport in oakland this morning looking at the clouds, but partly sunny for

some of us clear elsewhere. the temperatures in the 50s cooler this morning and then the warming trend, the one you'll notice getting underway tomorrow and tuesday. today though, it's going to be nice again if you're, you know, away from that wind. otherwise, looking at the cooler conditions for everyone, those gusty winds returning later on this week into the long weekend. so speaking of the winds right now, not too bad. at through 7:00 you'll notice 15 to 20 miles an hour, and then by noon time, they really begin to tick up over 20 miles an hour, 30 and 40 miles an hour. here at the coast, all the way down towards san mateo and then inside the bay there over 20 miles an hour. so it's breezy. and then the winds back off there more northerly monday and tuesday. this is the warmest day of the week, mid to upper 80s inland. notice the colors here? the oranges. the darker shade indicates the heat and then still pleasant across the bay. and even as we cool off a nice looking day on wednesday, temperatures around average. it's really thursday into the latter part of the week that we

begin to feel the sea breeze. the fog comes back and then we'll get set for another cool several days. upper 60s today in oakland. look for 74. in napa. so if you liked yesterday, just about the same today, although we'll get into more sun keeping that breeze though along the coast. san mateo, 7276, in vallejo and the accuweather seven day forecast. so patchy fog to start out, then sunny and milder. 70 bayshore 80 inland. the warming begins on monday and tuesday, with low to 80s to the upper 80s inland, and then look in the mid to upper 70s around the bay. wednesday still mild to warm and then the breezy, cooler winds arrive. thursday. the cool temperatures continue into friday and memorial day looking a bit below average. stephanie. >> all right lisa thank you. trash and pollutants from homeless encampments are causing some problems for the city of san jose and valley water. and now a new proposal from the county's water district is stirring up controversy. abc

seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey has a look at the impact. >> for many, being unhoused is not a choice. like ruben salas, who lives in this encampment along the guadalupe river in san jose. unmanaged and unclean conditions are not ideal, but it's the only option he has. do you like living here? would you prefer living somewhere else? >> well, you know i got no choice i make, i make, i make, make the best of what i got. you know i try not to complain i'm trying to cry about it. you know, it might be bad, but you sure? yeah, it might be. but it's all i got, you know? what am i to do? >> and soon? living here may not even be a possibility. since july, valley water has spent nearly $3 million cleaning up 1300 tons of trash along 295 miles of rivers and creeks in santa clara county, and to stop people from living along the waterways. valley water is proposing an ordinance that would subject violators to $500 fines or up to 30 days of jail time. >> it's valley water's role as an as an environmental stewardship agency to ensure

that the waterways are clean and that the flood protection measures that we enact work as they're designed to. >> the city of san jose and mayor matt mehan have been trying to find their own solutions to clean up creeks and rivers as well. but he doesn't want the 700 people who live along valley water's owned waterways to move out to neighborhoods with no plan. we need to work with them to identify sites where we can stand up. >> alternative native shelter, basic services, sanitation, case management, security and create a dignified and safe alternative to encampments. >> unhoused advocate sandy perry sees the value in clean water, but he says the only reason people are alongside the creeks is because the city and county are not offering the unhoused enough places to go. >> so this whole idea of having people go back and forth from the creeks to the neighborhoods to the neighborhoods, to the creeks, endlessly, it's not a solution. >> valley waters environmental creek cleanup committee will discuss the issue friday before a final board vote in june in
