today's high temperatures were in the mid 50s to mid 70s, a good 5 to 12 degrees below average. we're going to stay cooler than average tomorrow. as you look at live doppler seven clouds that have been hanging stubbornly from the peninsula towards parts of the east bay are still there. but then more clouds are starting to regroup and gather as we look from our emeryville camera towards 80 there and up above a lot of cloud cover, 55 in san francisco. it's still in the 50s in oakland, hayward, redwood city, half moon bay. so sweater weather there. san jose 63 degrees. the sun is shining, mixing in with some clouds in san jose. looking at the shark tank 65 in santa rosa, you're getting a stiff breeze in petaluma and a cool 5560s from napa to concord. 57 in livermore. right now, it's certainly a shaky view from san rafael camera, but at least you're seeing the blue sky up above overnight. gusty, mostly cloudy and drizzly tomorrow afternoon. breezy and below average again as we head into memorial day, we'll be looking at sunny and warmer weather, so

let's go! hour by hour, 7:00 tonight, 50s to 60s. a lot of cloud cover. you will notice even at 9 p.m, so definitely bundle up and if you have early morning plans, watch out for some damp roadways. there will be some drizzle around 40s and 50s to start the day. look how nicely skies clear out. most areas will be seeing the sun 50s and 60s for most of you. a few low 70s popping up and then later on in the evening it'll be a cooler one. once again, your morning temperatures will start off in the 40s and the 50s, so you will definitely need an extra layer for the afternoon. keep that layer handy for parts of the bay area. i'll show you why. 68 in the south bay in san jose on the peninsula, you're looking at 63. in mountain view, 56 in half moon bay, daly city, downtown san francisco, 59 degrees north bay. only 66 in san rafael, but 72 degrees in santa rosa in the east bay, 62 oakland getting you up to 63. in union city, the sun's out inland, but those temperatures are still behind where they

county vector control found a few of these mosquitoes along machado lane in the east san jose foothills. >> despite efforts to eliminate the day biting bugs, that number is up to at least 12 females. worry over the county's first ever infestation is growing because it's not easy to get rid of the aedes aegypti eggs from 8-80 aegypti have a far superior rate of survival compared to other mosquitoes. >> you can compare them to the cockroaches of mosquitoes they endure extreme temperatures and extreme periods of without water, and getting rid of them will require more extreme methods. >> trying to kill off the adult mosquitoes has not worked, so the county is moving to a daytime wide area. larvicide spraying method to use bacterial insecticide to target mosquito larvae. >> this machine by itself it has the potential to get to the sources is not easy for us to have access to it. >> the goal is to not allow the aedes aegypti to establish itself in santa clara county, like it has in 19 other counties

in california. they transmit diseases like chikungunya, dengue, yellow fever and zika viruses. you normally only get if you travel, but if the mosquito is not eradicated here, having detected the ada aegypti mosquito here in santa clara county makes us concerned that in the future we might start seeing something similar here where people don't have to travel to get those diseases. >> but just being here, they're at risk for getting those. >> the county says pets and people should remain inside during the treatments set to take place over the next few months. the first spray is scheduled for may 29th at 830 in the morning in santa clara county. dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> well, we witnessed the devastation of wildfires in the bay area over the past few years. what about in the next quarter century? >> i'm afraid that if we don't start to change our relationship with where we live and also the landscapes around us, there's no way we're going to get out of this hole. but the good news is it's a possibility.

>> next, a sneak peek ahead at bay

as a result of climate change. fire season is now longer and more intense. >> living with the danger is already a reality for many people in the region, and it is likely to get worse. here's abc news anchor ama daetz. >> summer in the bay area is wildfire season, and it's now longer and more intense than ever before. between 2020 and 2023, almost as many acres burned as the entire decade before. 50 of the top 20 most destructive wildfires in california history happened within the past decade. if things don't change, environmental scientists predict the amount of forested land burned in wildfires in northern california will increase up to 52% between 2031 and 2050. living with wildfires will now be a part of life for many in the bay area and beyond

>> we estimated 4.5 million acres burned every year in california on an average year. climate change makes our difficult situation even worse thinking about 2050 and where people are going to be living, it's not going to be the same as what we are today. california. we're known as the golden state. sometimes i call us the pyro state. >> it was never really the idea of really our town burning down. what happened on november eighth will never, ever happen in paradise again. never ever >> i'm afraid that if we don't start to change our relationship with where we live and also the landscapes around us, there's no way we're going to get out of this hole. but the good news is, it's a possibility.

>> it is wildfire prepared home, the beautiful thing is that the town of paradise actually adopted all of the building codes for a wildfire prepared home. so now every house that gets built in paradise is built to these standards ember resistant vents, metal gutters. you have to have a six inch vertical clearance from any exterior wall. you also have to have a class a fire rated roof. the biggest piece for homeowners now in paradise since houses are just being built this way. anyways is maintaining a five foot, defensible space area around your home. i lost my home in the campfire a couple couple neighborhoods over from here. the town of paradise completely burned to the ground in just a matter of hours. it was the most deadly and expensive fire in the united states. before lahaina, we lost 85 people, 18,000 structures burned to the ground, and 50,000 people were displaced

. >> when you think about fire in the state, to be honest with you, it's gotten so bad so quickly. even a person like me who's been studying this for 30 years was surprised. my name is scott stevens. i'm a professor of fire science at the university of california, berkeley. we think about fire. our relationship is very adversarial. you talk to indigenous communities like i have in the last several years, and it's not that way at all. people think of fire as a gift, a gift for the stewardship of the land. when you think about fire in california, it's as integral as our soils, our water, our ecosystems. so when you take fire out of a system that had it so integral for so long, you change things abruptly. and of course, then we have human populations that come in and change kind of where we live. our susceptibilities. >> more than 18,000 structures were burned in paradise. 90% of

the homes were burned. so so almost every single lot had a home on it that was not wildfire prepared. that was built in the 50s, 60s, 70s and now as homes are being rebuilt on all of these different properties, they're being built to the new town codes that are wildfire prepared. every home in paradise is meeting a wildfire prepared designation. >> i think in the community level, we can do so much better just getting ourselves better prepared. the services are great, but they're not, again, going to be the solution. we've got to get our communities better prepared and actually take action at more organic levels. >> bay area 2050 now streaming. all right. with our current weather pattern, we're not too worried about fire danger at the moment. sandia has your holiday weekend

lot of cloud cover and drizzle, but it's going to change rapidly. so let me show you a live picture. this is what you're going to be seeing more of which is more blue sky from our exploratorium camera. and hopefully it is a bright future for those graduating from saint ignatius high school tomorrow in san francisco. starts off gray at 10:00 in the morning in the mid 50s. the ceremony gets underway at 1030 and you will notice partly sunny by the early afternoon. live doppler seven showing you some cloud cover right now. beginning to increase tomorrow afternoon. still below average and breezy mid 50s to the low 70s. sunday we turn things around. those temperatures will rise into the 80s for our warmest spots, and a similar situation for memorial day. so here's a look at the accuweather seven day forecast. it's actually going to be brighter and warmer the second half of your weekend. and then we will notice even warmer weather into the mid 80 thursday friday. but don't worry, we always have a place for you at the coast if you don't like the warm. that's true. it's really a

nice bay area, right? absolutely all right. thanks, andy. >> oh and don't worry the giants are kind of on a roll aren't they. >> yeah they are. it's you know what? we were down on them for a while. but the infusion of youth has really paid off for them. so they won 6 to 7. they're feeling really good about themselves. and so are their fans or in this case fanatics. yes. this is the kind of enthusiasm we'd like from you, dan.

teacher: ...but it's still true. there are four states of matter. there are solids, liquids, gases... teacher: trevor? teacher: not quite? plasma. teacher: lights please. teacher: now, states of matter are comprised of relationships between molecules. teacher: molecules' relationships...

with late in and comebacks just becoming the norm every night. looking for more of the same tonight against new york, against the mets, and more of the same from one matt chapman. chappy has been swinging a mighty stick for the giants lately. homering in three straight games, he's hitting 565 over the last week, and it turns out he's been working with the all time home run king. barry bonds on his approach at the plate and clearly that is paying off. let's get to tonight's game. shea stadium back back back back back back back chris berman in the house a big giants fan one nothing mets, but not for long jorge soler that is gone. and that ties this game at one apiece. six of the season for soler. and the giants fan is really fired up. scary moment though in the third kyle harrison look out hits brandon nimmo in the face guard. nimmo initially shaken up, but he went to first base and he actually

later stole a base. but man, you got to keep that helmet on. three two mets in the fourth. francisco lindor with a drive to center. luis matos with the play of the day. amazing catch up against the wall. gets the giants out of a jam. and our fan is high fiving people. yes, let's keep it going. in the fifth, j.d. martinez and mark vientos with back to back jacks to chase kyle harrison, the lasalle product gave up five runs in five innings. giants were down six two. in the eighth. chapman walks to load the bases. now it's a63 game. they cash in because the next batter is patrick bailey. here it comes. there it goes. high deep and aloha means grand slam five runs in the eighth. make it a76 game. it is now eight seven giants with the mets threatening with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth. complete highlights tonight at 11. and the a's are playing the astros all right. twice in the past four seasons, the 40 niners have gotten so close to winning the super bowl, only to be denied by

patrick mahomes and the chiefs niners linebacker fred warner. he's getting ready for the upcoming season, but those missed opportunities are still very much on his mind. >> i'm not even over the first one, so i'm sure this last one, it was what, like three months ago? uh- i'm still not over it. you know, i've watched it several times and seen different plays that we could have made to win that game. and you just got to be better for the next time. you know, it's not a matter of if, in my mind it's a matter of when. >> unfortunately, i know how to bounce back from tough losses. so it was rough for a little bit, but now it's just annoying when people bring it up. >> nba playoffs west finals game two banged up luka and the mavs looking for a20 lead on minnesota sixth man of the year naz reid in the corner for the three ball. wolves leading by a dozen at the half 60 to 48. hey join us tomorrow. we got the celtics game against the pacers as boston looks to go up three games to none. coverage begins at 5:00 right here on abc seven.

and then we'll have after the game the new golden state valkyries. that's the wnba team, their gm omar nadine live in studio to talk about the bay area's new wnba franchise. >> hey, that's quite a gig. good for you. that's. >> yeah, that's it's going to be fun. you know, we have a new team in the bay area. it's going to be interesting to see, you know, how they get the new players involved and you know how they draft. they still don't even know what the draft process is. whether they'll have the number one pick an expansion team. it's like all new rules. so yeah there's that. >> like do they pick from other teams. >> yeah. yeah other teams can protect certain players. others are left unprotected. and then you can kind of cherry pick who you want. but it'll be fun to watch. what we don't know is whether they'll have the number one pick in the draft, which has been the case previously. and that's really what you want. yeah, sure. get off to a great but it's funny, we have the team but we don't know the rules on the draft yet. >> like figuring this out. >> yeah, but hopefully ohemaa

tomorrow will be able to explain it for us i'm sure. >> what an exciting time though for bay area sports, women's sports of the wnba. it's just red hot. absolutely, absolutely. thanks. all right, all right. >> well, tonight on abc seven at eight, it's shark tank, followed by 2020 at nine. then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. remember abc seven news is streaming 24 over seven. get the abc seven bay area app and join us whenever you want, wherever you are. >> all right, finally, this friday, a few thoughts about what really matters. the holiday weekend is upon us. a time to relax with friends and family, a cookout, maybe, and usher in the start of summer monday is also a day to pause to honor the men and women who gave their lives to defend our treasured american way of life. but i want to focus for a moment on the veterans who survived their military service but have lost their lives in a different way. they're alive, but hardly enjoying the way of life they help protect. for the rest of us, it's estimated that 13% of the homeless population

in the country are veterans. in california alone, that equates to roughly 12,000 people. many returned to civilian life with ptsd, drug and alcohol addictions, mental health challenges, and sometimes just a run of bad luck. homelessness is a tragic situation in any circumstance, but particularly painful to see among those who have served our country by bearing arms. what really matters this memorial day is to honor those veterans who never came home, and to do better by the men and women who did, but now live and die on our streets. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on social media at dan ashley abc seven. >> and that's it for this edition of abc seven news. thanks for joining us. i'm kristen sze and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel reveal. >> all of us here. we appreciate your time. hope you have a great evening and that we see you
