as we look ahead to thursday, you can see that a little bit of cooling, but not much until friday. it will start to feel more comfortable on friday and saturday as temperatures settle into a more seasonable range. now, under these conditions, you're advised we are advised to drink plenty of fluids and wear lightweight clothing, take breaks in the shade or air conditioning when possible, and recognize the signs of heat related illness. if you're thinking of going to the beach to cool down, we have a beach hazard statement in effect until 12 a.m. friday until midnight thursday. as the surf is rough and there may be dangerous sneaker waves, so bear that in mind. and a little bit later i'll have the accuweather seven day forecast showing some cooler weather. jr. >> spencer, thank you so much. today on 3 p.m. on getting answers, i spoke with chris field, a professor within the stanford door school of sustainability. he quickly pointed out some of the dangers of the heat wave and ways that people can protect themselves. >> and one of the things that is important to remember is that these early season heat waves

are especially troubling and especially dangerous, mainly because people aren't ready for them. but but taking breaks, looking for shade, dressing in reflective clothing, all those can really save lives. >> field had one other piece of advice during the heat wave look out for the people around you. >> all right, now let's get to abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley, who is live in walnut creek, with a look at how people there are trying to keep their cool in the east bay. less >> well, you know, you might think of rolling down to your neighborhood pool, but in this case, this pool was closed until just five minutes ago. the swim teams are moving in right now, and that's because a lot of pools with school still in session in many places, aren't opening until this weekend at larkey park. but we decided it's only 98 degrees here. why not head further east? and we checked out a cherry farm. >> we'd like to try to just warn customers. sometimes we'll post on instagram, like just letting everybody know it's going to be a really hot day today.

>> so let's go a couple of rows and look okay. >> the cherry pit in brentwood is one of nearly 60 u-pick farms out in far eastern contra costa county. the cherry season is in full swing despite temperatures hitting 100 degrees. >> a lot of our cherries are favorite. cherries are kind of winding down a bit. we have a new variety that's a later season variety called lapin. >> the 100 degree heat is actually good for these late season cherries. it will accelerate the ripening so people can come pick them this weekend. close to a thousand people a day can come out to pick cherries on a single weekend day. >> it is really hot, so we always make sure customers come prepared that they have a lot of water, that, you know, they wear sunscreen and just take it easy while they're here. >> this is a nice compared to stockton. >> this family came prepared. >> i wasn't worried about the heat. they they have water in the car and ice. so they're all right. and then we usually don't stay out. like when it's hot. we don't stay out very, very long. >> sometimes like the heat.

sometimes it's just overwhelming. >> but there's a payoff. how how is it yummy? some followed it up with an ice cream treat at this brentwood splash pad, where kids darted into the sprays of water for some relief from the relentless heat that is kicking off the summer season. get ready for wednesday. it is extremely hot out here in the east bay, and as you were hearing, we're going to have a little bit more of this coming throughout the week. so brace yourself. it's the beginning of a long, hot summer reporting live in walnut creek. i'm leslie brinkly, abc seven news. >> leslie, thank you so much. looks like the swim team showed up there to a brush fire that destroyed a home and injured two firefighters is now 90% contained. the corral fire started saturday afternoon near livermore and tracy. it burned some 14,000 acres, more than 22mi■!s. at one point, the fire

ready for the fans who are arriving at 530. so gates open soon. and i just want to show you the incredible progress that you were just hearing about. they started this construction in march. this was a field that wasn't playable for little leaguers at that point in time. you can see they had to clear out the whole field. they had to put in brand new grass and turf. they had to build 4000 seats. they were racing through all of this at this historic park. this was a park where curt flood played baseball, where frank robinson played baseball. there is so much history here at raymond park. the oakland ballers are hoping to be the next chapter of that history. and just look at that incredible transfer formation. march 29th to today, june 4th. you can see a whole new playing surface seats and everything. so i'm going to bring in now a very special guest, jt snow, six time gold glover. you reached out to this team. you were inspired by what was happening and said,

but, today's the hottest day of the year. it may not be the hottest day for much longer, though. >> it felt that way outside. then i ran back inside. >> so the comfort of air conditioning? >> yes. spencer. christian, is it going to stay that way? well yes. and tomorrow may be even hotter in some spots. it's a brief heat wave, but it's a heat wave nonetheless. let's take a look at what's going on in our satellite radar composite image. we have a clouds out at sea, keeping their distance from the coastline. nonetheless, we still have that gust. vigorous breeze onshore, 36 mile per hour gusts at at sfo right now, 30mph at half moon bay and pretty breezy. just about everywhere. and the 24 hour temperature change is remarkable. it's about, 18 to 22 degrees warmer right now in most bay area locations than at this time yesterday. that's a significant warm up. let's take a look at current temperature readings. it's 71 here in san francisco was a few degrees

warmer earlier. we've got 77 apiece at oakland, at hayward, san jose, almost 90. 89 at both san jose and redwood city. 70 at half moon bay. looking northward. no marine layer at the golden gate right now. 98 degrees in santa rosa was 100 there a little bit earlier. petaluma 8696 at napa, 102 at fairfield and mid to upper 90s right now at livermore and concord. let's check out our forecast headlines. this excessive heat with concerns about fire will be with us again tomorrow, thursday and friday. the heat eases a bit. it will be cooler at the coast and over the weekend it will be still warm in some inland spots, but much more comfortable than the weather we have right now. looking at our overnight conditions. notice no marine layer is going to form and move at least onshore, and there'll be some little drizzly spots offshore between about 3 a.m. and about 7 a.m, but it will provide no cooling effect here for those of us who live on land overnight, low temperatures will be mainly in the mid 60s in our inland areas closer to the bay, upper 50s to about 60. so

that's uncomfortably warm overnight weather for most of us. highs tomorrow a mid 60s at the coast, 73 here in san francisco. low to mid 80s around the bay shoreline. some bay shoreline locations may approach 90 degrees inland areas once again. upper 90s to low one hundreds, and there may be more locations tomorrow maxing out in triple digits than we had today. so the heat advisory remains in effect for the bay area. all locations except those near the coast of the bay, shoreline and the coast. this is in effect until midnight thursday night and over in solano county. it's an excessive heat warning. and of course, under these conditions, there is an increased risk of heat related illness. and if you're thinking of going to the beach, bear in mind that we have rough seas. a beach hazard statement, in effect until midnight thursday night, elevated wave heights and the risk of sneaker waves down at the coastline. here is the accuweather seven day forecast. one more day of this intense heat, and it's still going to be pretty hot inland on thursday with highs in the mid 90s. but you can see we'll have significant cooling at the coast

and around the bay shoreline on thursday. friday, more relief from the heat arrives over the weekend. it will be mild to warm with a very pleasant weekend. certainly compared with the heat we have right now. but early next weekend to midweek we can see another. we'll see another rise in temperatures. we're not predicting triple digits yet, but we could see mid to upper 90s. all right. >> going to be toasty. >> certainly is toasty. >> people taking off the clothes already. suntan lotion is a must. >> absolutely. >> yep. we will remain fully clothed. much to your relief, uh- hayward is celebrating pride month today. the city raised the progress pride flag at city hall. that progress flag adds additional colors to the rainbow flag. black and brown are for marginalized communities as well as those living with aids or hiv. blue, pink and white. that's for the transgender community. the city council made a proclamation at its meeting tonight, or will make one to reaffirm its commitment to the lgbtq plus community, and our coverage continues all month long, culminating with the 54th annual san francisco pride parade sunday, june 30th. you

can watch it live wherever you stream abc seven. >> president biden takes his most aggressive action yet to secure the us-mexico border. >> frankly, i would have preferred to address this issue through a bipartisan legislation. but republicans left me no choice. >> the sweeping new restrictions , the president says, will restore order to the asylum process, and threon that donald trump has decided a power outage is looming. that's just alert, he's always getting worked up about something. flex alerts notify us of preventable power outages. that way we always know when to help stop one. ok flex, just drop some knowledge on me again. oh, ok i will - i'll turn our thermostat to 78... i'll unplug the blender. the hair dryer.

i felt like i was crossing the border. actually less than a week after being convicted of 34 charges by a new york city jury in the hush money trial, trump is returning to the bay area for a campaign fundraiser in san francisco. >> the more that he can sell to his supporters that he's a victim, he thinks the better he's going to do electorally. >> nolan higdon, a cal state east bay professor of history and communication, says he believes trump is taking full advantage of the timing of this trip. >> there's at least some part of trump that thinks in terms of politics and campaigning. this is great for him. this is a great time to fundraise. and he did raise roughly about 52 million shortly after the verdicts came out. >> the political news outlet puck news obtained this invitation to trump's pacific heights event, according to the invitation, it's being hosted by tech billionaire david sax, his wife jacqueline, and venture capitalist chamath palihapitiya of the all in podcast. >> people are coming from all over california. >> reporter mindy petchenik, a candidate running for oakland city council, is part of a group

of trump supporters organizing a rally to greet him at san francisco's marina green on thursday afternoon. at two, though, trump is actually scheduled to be hosting a town hall at the same time in phoenix , petchenik and other trump supporters are hoping he might swing by. this is the same place where presidents biden and obama have arrived in marine one in the past. >> there's a rally being just a group of us men and women, citizens, we, the people who wanted to greet trump, vp donald trump coming to san francisco and let him know our love is there and our support is there. >> fundraiser tickets range in price from $50,000 to half $1 million. eight years ago, before being elected, he charged 100 bucks per plate in san francisco . lena howland, abc seven news. >> all right. joining me now is abc seven news insider phil matier. what kind of reaction do you think the former president is likely to receive here, given that this will be his first appearance in the bay area since

the hush money trial in new york? >> probably a very pleasant one because he ignores any of his critics, including any of the protesters that might be out along the route or even at the outside. the event, because he's going to be bringing in not something blue, not something red, but something green. this uh- hosted event is a sellout. they're getting anywhere from 50 to $500,000 per person or per group. it's sold out in advance, so while san francisco has this image of being a solidly blue state, there is a lot of red money here. and silicon valley is coming out and opening up their checkbooks in big numbers for donald trump. >> interesting. i want to continue on that point in a moment. but first, we've heard mr. trump disparage the bay area quite a bit in the past. listen to him talking about nancy pelosi and san francisco back in 2019, san francisco, if you look at what's happening to her district, her district is going to hell with homeless, with that they're not taking care of with needles all over the street,

with tents, with people with sanitation. obviously, he's not going to be dealing with needles and any of that because he's going to be in private residences for the most part. but i want to follow up on the tech executives. a lot of them are are more aligned with mr. trump than you would think, necessarily because of business interests. >> that is right. and, you know, when it comes to politics, there are those that have ideologies and there are those that have the business side of it. and the business side of it is what fuels a lot of the money involved here. and tech in california is very interested in deregulation. they don't want the government interfering with them. they're interested in tax breaks and they want open markets here and abroad so that they can move their, their, their products and their factories to wherever they want them. the elon musk's of the world are almost libertarian. they like to think of themselves in, in like government hands off and trump is that package as

opposed to joe biden, who is heavily on the side of labor, heavily on the side of regulation. and so they say they may not agree with trump's personality or his ethics, but they do agree with his economic policies, and that's what's driving them. yeah. >> follow the money. right so this is kind of a touchy issue because republican candidates who are, you know, are looking at november. and how do they either embrace mr. trump or distance themselves, because a lot of his candidates that he's backed have lost. >> yes. and in california, there are a couple of tight races that could actually determine the outcome of the house of representatives, which could be key, especially if there's a disputed election. so what do they do? well, they're being quiet right now. and while, you know, you sit there and go, it might not be that easy. actually it is because most of the candidates, the republicans we're talking about are are in areas like the central valley or in, southern california. donald trump is going to san francisco, beverly hills and newport beach. he's not going to be in modesto

or fresno. okay that is a different world that we are talking here about the money of politics. he raised $141 million in may. that's when he was on trial for the fraud charges. >> just in the month of may when 41 million that is. >> and a lot of it's coming from big tech companies, but a lot of it is also coming from small contributors. so money is not going to be a problem for donald trump. and as far as rankling anybody or having any disturbances when he comes to san francisco, he's fine with that. as far as he's concerned, this could be anywhere, as long as he gets the money and the attention and he'll get both of those in the bay area. >> absolutely. all right. and we'll be there as well. phil, thanks so much for your time. >> popular soda brand poppy is facing a class action lawsuit. poppy markets its drinks as good for your gut health. but a lawsuit filed last week by a san francisco woman claims there are not enough prebiotics in the drink to make any difference.

rules in new york state, has introduced landmark legislation that would ban social media companies from using algorithms for feeds that are viewed by children. it would also require apps to show content in chronological order to users under 18, and ban alerts to children between midnight and 6 a.m. leanne, what's what's your initial reaction to that? >> well, i have three kids. i think it's a great idea. my question is, how are they going to enforce that? and secondly, don't you remember that years ago actually, when you would look at your feed, be it twitter or whatever, the content used to be in chronological chronicle, chronicle chronological order? there you go. yeah. and now it basically has everything else. but for example, it has you know, what i want to buy or what they think i want to buy and, and things that are posted from a friend of a friend or i don't know if you experienced the same thing, the content is especially on, on twitter or whatever you

want to call it, it seems to be a hodgepodge and now they have two feeds. one that's like supposedly for you and one that's that's kind of a broader, you know, list of content. spencer i mean, the algorithm, we're talking about kids here, but adults also need some boundaries, many of us do. yeah. i mean, i agree with what leanne said. i mean, it's hard to argue with the purpose and the intent of this, this ban or control. but how do you enforce it? yeah spencer, not to cut you off here. i think it's a great point . they already can enforce the rules that they've put into place in certain in certain states. right. and then add more rules. but i do think the intention is good. yeah. the practice of returning your shopping cart is causing quite a stir on social media. it stems from a video posted on tiktok by a los angeles psychologist saying she refuses to return her cart because she doesn't want to leave her kids alone in the car. tiktok did not like it, calling

her entitled and lazy. the post has more than 11 million views. i got into a back and forth with luz pena upstairs over this because i said, there's nothing wrong with this. she's got a little one in the car and i have. i could see why i'd have to agree with you. have a young child in the car. you don't want to stray away from the car too far. i'm sure there are some people out there who don't return carts who are entitled and lazy, but i don't think you can apply. i don't think you can apply that broadly to all people who don't return the carts. >> i'm not going to call her lazy. i'm going to call her a minimalist, minimalist. actually, that's one of my pet peeves, people not returning their carts. and listen, what could happen? i'm going to be a karen now. i'm not no longer leanne here. i'm going to be a karen and say, you know, nothing is going to happen really, in the three seconds that it takes you to get that cart back to where it's supposed to go. i mean, it's good for your heart. walk, people. my name is karen. >> why risk it? why risk it,

right? >> you're not a karen. you know, i try to return the cart. if there's an area nearby. you know, because most of the supermarkets in the parking lots, they have that. but i like to think in the back of my head that the times that i don't return the cart, i'm helping provide employment because there's the people that have to go get those carts. so. okay, that's, that's, that's my twisted way of looking at it. >> i agree, the wheels, you know, the wheels on those things are tough. >> yeah. no, they can be difficult to navigate for sure. all right. it seems a possible solution to the nation's housing crisis. could be a3d printer. believe it or not, researchers at the university of maine used a3d printer to build this home right here. it's small. it's 600ft■!s. the house was built wh wood fiber and plant based materials. researchers say their 3d printer can build a home in as little as 48 hours. wow wow. >> i think this should be a probably a good idea for our affordable housing crisis. you know, we could build several homes very quickly, i would say

no. personally, myself, i don't like leaky roofs. >> well, we don't know that the roof is going to leak. >> i don't know, i don't want to chance it. >> all right, well, all right, spencer, what do you think? i mean, i don't know how much the 3d printer costs, but, you know, to get stuff that scale. yeah, exactly. but i mean, over time, you would think that this could be a real difference maker. yeah i think it could be. >> i'm sort of in the leanne lane right now, you know, it could be a good thing for building affordable housing, but i wouldn't want to be the person to test it out. yeah, i keep thinking of the story of the three little pigs. and then the wolf huffed and puffed and he blew the house down. is this going to stay up? yeah we're not in kansas anymore, toto. doctor pepper has surpassed pepsi as the second most popular soda in the united states, boasting a mix of 23 flavors, it moved past the cola that to. basically, this goes hand in hand with pepsi slumping sales. coca cola remains the top soft drink. here's a fun bit of trivia.

doctor pepper debuted in 1885, long before coke and pepsi debuted. i'm not a big fan of many sodas out there. not the healthiest of options, but i love doctor pepper, larry 1885. >> so spencer did a taste the same then. >> now you know. you knew. you knew it was coming. you knew it was coming. that's why i looked in your direction. >> no, i was the test taster, a taste tester. but but but you know, it helped some of us to age gracefully. and then there are then there's larry. >> okay. >> all right. >> touche. >> i used to love it as a kid because it had the name doctor. so it had to be good for your health. right. but now i'm a believer in, more, different drinks. i actually love cherry coke. that's my favorite. >> okay, you know, i don't drink any soft drinks anymore. i don't think i've tasted doctor pepper since i was a kid. and that was obviously a long, long time ago.

>> larry, 1880. no, 1884. >> i mean, not the healthiest of option, but boy, they taste good sometimes. and that doctor pepper just flows down you. >> i'm surprised because for years i don't drink a lot of soda. but you didn't see doctor pepper on the shelves. it was hard to get. so apparently they made a push. and they're not owned by either coca-cola or pepsico, so they're doing their own thing. >> viral videos. >> there you go. yeah. all right. >> i was right behind spencer on that testing. >> yep a slow network is no network for business. that's why more choose comcast business. and now, we're introducing ultimate speed for business —our fastest plans yet. we're up to 12 times faster than verizon, at&t, and t-mobile. and existing customers could even get up to triple the speeds... at no additional cost.
