down the future of the site is in limbo and keep your head on a swivel in the bay. >> south bay wildlife experts getting reports of a big cat prowling around two different san jose neighborhoods. what to do if you encounter a mountain lion? >> mind my business. >> turn around. yes. good morning. >> on this friday, june 7th, we're going to start the check of our forecast with drew. >> all right. we are done with the heat. it finally feels a lot cooler out there this afternoon. here is a live look from our exploratorium camera. we do have a return of our coastal clouds. so you look at current conditions around the region. we have some patchy cloud cover over the city right now. oakland same story, but the thicker cloud cover along the coast. half moon bay reporting cloudy skies and that fog is pushing its way up into the valleys of napa. right now. you can see cloudy there as well. it's just an indication we have changed our weather pattern and we have cooler air overhead. 40s. it's been a while since we said that in the morning. santa rosa, sonoma. good morning. you're in the upper 40s, mid 50s around

the bay shoreline. so just expect temperatures back to average later on today. inland, it's a lot cooler than the past couple of days. we do still keep the sunshine. highs will stay in the mid 80s later on today. that feels a lot better as we head around the bay shoreline with some patchy cloud cover right now, but it will be a bright afternoon and those highs pretty average in the mid 70s by about 3:04 p.m. along the coast, we'll keep a lot of that cloud cover. it's pretty foggy this morning and daytime highs will hit the upper 50s by about 3 p.m. that's a look at the forecast. let's see how we're doing with the roads this morning gloria good morning. >> good morning drew. good morning everyone at home. so far it's looking okay out there on the roads. this morning. of course it's friday. we have slower traffic than normal today because a lot of people do work from home. you can see here look at our drive times from tracy to dublin. it'll take you 57 minutes. right now that is in the red. and that's because there's a big rig crash on the shoulder that added to that commute, which we know that's always a slow spot. anyway but that crash just added a little

bit more time. if you're driving in that area from san rafael to san francisco, 17 minutes antioch to concord, 14 minutes. >> thank you gloria. this weekend will mark the end of some horse racing history in the east bay. after more than 80 years, golden gate fields is set to close for good. abc seven news reporter ryan curry joining us live for the details on the closure and what could happen next. ryan. yeah, kumasi good morning. >> the track has been around since 1941. many call it an iconic landmark in the east bay, but it has been the center of protest over animal cruelty. the owners of the track announced back in july of last year the closure they say they are moving races to santa anita down southern california to consolidate operations, but many have been demanding the track closed due to a questionable history over its treatment of the horses. 17 horses died last year at golden gate fields. some will miss it, while others tell us they look forward to what the land can be used for. we spoke with them earlier this year. >> it'll be odd to see it not there anymore. driving by. so

i've had i've had good times there though, and our friends have had some fun, fun times there on fun, you know, sunday activity. >> i think it's really a gift from the gods because it gives the whole region the opportunity to plan for development. >> golden gate fields will still be paying property taxes to the city of albany, even after it closes. the future of the site remains unclear. it is currently zoned for waterfront recreation. many we spoke with say they'd like to see it turn into housing or a park. it's a massive piece of land with prime bayfront bayfront real estate. the last race is set for sunday night after 5 p.m. ryan curry abc, seven news, guys. >> ryan, thank you. this morning, former president trump is waking up in los angeles after his visit to san francisco . he attended a private fundraising dinner and pac heights last night, according to reuters. the event raked in $12 million. supporters and protesters showed up outside of that dinner. the event was

hosted by tech billionaire david sachs and his wife, along with venture capitalist chamath palihapitiya. tickets were sold out, ranging from 50,000 to $500,000. the chair of the san francisco republican party believes support for trump is growing in the city. >> i think it's very jarring for the democrats. to see not just that the president has a sold out fundraiser in pacific heights, from tech folks largely counterprotesters say trump is not fit to be president, pointing to his recent criminal conviction in new york, david sachs posted a lengthy explanation on twitter as to why he is backing the former president. >> it was well over a thousand words. here's how he wrapped it up. quote the voters have experienced four years of president trump and four years of president biden. in tech, we call this an a b test with respect to economic policy, foreign policy, border policy and legal fairness, trump performed better. he is the president who deserves a second

term. now we spoke with the senior politics reporter with our media partners at the san francisco standard to shed a bit of light on why a san francisco tech billionaire would back the former president. and here's what he had to say. >> there is a growing number of billionaires and wealthy people like sachs, who are warming up to the idea of trump. and the question is why uh- many people have ideas that it is related to increasing their own wealth, rather than their stated goals about public policy. but that is, you know, up to each individual coming up in the next half hour. >> we are hearing from some of the president's supporters here in the bay area. the former president's supporters in the bay area, as well as what some of his critics had to say about his visit. you can check in with the biggest moments of trump's visit and find all of our election coverage heading into november right now at abc seven news.com. and wherever you stream abc seven, we have a significant development in the

state trial of the man who broke into nancy pelosi's house and attacked her husband, paul, with a hammer. >> a san francisco superior court judge dismissed three charges against david depape for that 2022 attack. the judge says trying to pap for charges similar to his federal trial amounts to double jeopardy. the charges dismissed are attempted murder, assault of an elder and assault with a deadly weapon. depape still faces five state charges that were not part of the federal trial, including burglary, kidnaping and false imprisonment. >> this is a story we've been following for a few years now. you see berkeley celebrating a victory in its effort to build student housing at people's park. yesterday, the state supreme court ruled in its favor after a lawsuit sought to put a halt to that project. the lawsuit claimed the student noise would have an environmental impact. state lawmakers closed the loopholes in the california environmental quality act that were used to sue the university. >> we passed two different laws

to make clear that environmental laws should not be used or abused. i should say, to stop on campus student housing, which is some of the most environmentally sustainable housing. >> ang cal put out a statement saying it's now focusing on the timeline to resume construction on that project. we haven't heard from the attorney representing the group that filed the lawsuit happening now. >> you should be on the lookout in certain parts of san jose because a mountain lion has been spotted in two different neighborhoods the past two days. we first told you about the sighting yesterday on abc seven mornings, gloria is at the live desk where? telling us about where this line has been seen. >> yeah. good morning reggie, a park ranger tells us they believe the same mountain lion was spotted on wednesday and thursday. the first sighting was around ella drive and war admiral way in south san jose on wednesday night. and then yesterday the city says the animal was seen near kelly park. a resident shared photos with us, but san jose has not confirmed that this is a cat

they're looking for. police say callers reported seeing the mountain lion walking into yards . >> i'm shocked. i'm a little bit shocked. and now i'm like, so glad that i keep these guys on a leash because i really wouldn't know what to do. i have no coat to make myself bigger. >> all right, so if you do see a mountain lion, officials say do not run back away slowly stand tall, make a noise and do not turn your back. fish and wildlife officials say mountain lions typically pose little threat to humans. they suggest not to be out too late at night or too early in the morning, and drew, i know where i live. they always spot mountain lions. i'm always wondering what should i do? so now we know those are good tips. >> although i think i would run. i know i supposed to if i saw that i'd be very scared. so some good tips there. gloria. let's go to san jose. speaking of, we do have clear skies overhead right now, but we are tracking along the coast. some cloud cover, some patchy fog even

around the city and oakland right now. but san jose, we have clear skies. it's one of our cooler mornings this week. we're at 58 degrees right now, so let's take a look at highs for average today. believe it or not, some of our cities will be below average for daytime highs. that's oakland and san francisco will be three degrees below average. other areas that will be above average only by a few degrees. so we got rid of the excessive heat we had the past couple of days. our heat advisories are done. it feels very comfortable later on this afternoon, very june like today. so looking at future weather, we'll have those coastal clouds. that's what you see here on future weather throughout the day. we'll keep it in the 50s and 60s, close to the ocean, 70s and low 80s inland. so we're certainly feeling relief from the heat inland. we spent the past couple of days in 90 degree plus heat, so 78 in concord later on, by 4 p.m. feels very nice today, but the winds will be an issue. it's one of the windier afternoons we've had this week, so be aware of that into 4 p.m, 5 p.m. that onshore

flow, which will help us to bring relief to our inland areas from that heat. the past couple of days, we'll find frequent wind gusts over 30mph. so it will be a windy end to the day, and it will be a breezy evening as well. looking at highs today, we'll go to about 63 in the city, 68 in oakland, about 82 in san jose, the same in santa rosa. inland will max out in the mid 80s later on today, but again along the coast. will keep that fog, will keep those cool temperatures upper 50s for half moon bay, santa cruz in the upper 60s. we'll preview that weekend forecast coming up in about eight minutes. >> drew. thank you. a unanimous decision by san francisco supervisors coming up the next steps for the city to acquire pandas from china. >> a sure sign summer is on the way. more street markets coming to bay area neighborhoods. we're going to show you where and when they're taking place. >> an iconic beacon of san francisco pride back atop twin peaks, the celebration happening this weekend, and a live look outside right now.

shooting that happened in san francisco's dolores park wednesday night. we've learned a teenager was killed in that shooting. police found the 19 year old with multiple gunshot wounds. first responders performed cpr, but that teen died at the scene. supervisor rafael mandelman, whose district includes the park, called the shooting scary. we are working to learn more about the investigation into the shooting. san francisco mayoral candidate daniel lurie, who's running on a tough on crime platform, went to dolores park yesterday to ask police for more protection. >> my kids go to school here, our offices, our campaign offices are a couple of blocks away. listen, violence can happen anywhere, but typically, we should not be worried about shootings in dolores park. >> lurie, who lives in another part of town, says the city

streets are neither safe or clean, and he wants a fully staffed police department and sheriff's office and says that he would call a state of emergency to deal with the fentanyl crisis. >> today is national gun violence awareness day, state attorney general rob bonta says gun violence in the country would be much lower if other states did. what we're doing in california. >> our gun death rate is now 40% lower than the national average. >> as bonta says, more than 40,000 americans die from gun violence every year, he says a lot of that can be avoided with stricter gun laws. bonta presented a report on nine california protection orders that he says have reduced gun violence at home work and school. he encouraged other states to adopt similar laws. >> the developments in san francisco's effort to get pandas at the zoo. the mayor's proposal to fund a panda habitat at the zoo with private donations has just taken a step forward. and gloria, the next hurdle is on tuesday at the board of supervisors meeting.

>> good morning. kumasi. a fundraising plan to bring giant pandas from china to the san francisco zoo will go before the board of supervisors on tuesday. yesterday the board's government audit and oversight committee voted unanimously to recommend an amended fundraising plan. it includes an ethics rules waiver, and it allows several city departments to receive unlimited donations to cover the $25 million needed to upgrade the zoo in order to host the pandas concerns. donations could create a conflict of interest within the mayor's office, had stalled the plan. the new resolution will require more transparency, including a public list of donors. several animal rights advocacy groups are opposed to the plan. they say the zoo is outdated and has to deal with other problems with animals currently in their care, before adding more, and the pandas are expected to arrive sometime next year, so of course we'll keep you updated on all of these developments. reggie thanks, gloria. >> the pandas are coming and so is nintendo. they are going to

build their second us store at san francisco's union square. now, when we first announced this a few weeks ago, we didn't know exactly where it was going to go. but now we have an address according to permits filed with the city earlier this week, the new store will be at 331 powell street. that's an 11,000 square foot retail space. that is the bottom of the western saint francis hotel. so think geary. the store is close to the size of nintendo's only other us store in new york city, and that store is expected to open next year. it's one of the most famous homes in all of san francisco. now, the house used in the hit sitcom full house is going back up for sale. the house on broderick street in lower park heights was used for exterior shots of the tanner family. it's different from the painted ladies used during the opening theme song. this home was renovated in 2019 to match the look of some of the rooms in the show. the new price tag, a cool 6.5 million. i will add that they have handprints in the backyard of all the stars of

full house, so that's pretty cool. we celebrate pride every day here at abc7, especially during the month of june. if you're looking to celebrate with us, here are some local bay area events that you can attend tonight. san francisco hosts the sf pride kickoff party. it starts at 6 p.m. at the tenderloin museum. tickets are 25 bucks. and then tomorrow, hundreds of people will gather at twin peaks to participate in the pink triangle commemoration ceremony. work already underway to get the iconic beacon lit. yesterday, volunteers picked up the pink canvas tarps and the 5000 steel spikes used to hold down the pink triangle atop twin peaks. the triangle is massive, covering nearly an acre, taking hundreds of volunteers to get it in place. >> we install the borders of the pink triangle. there are 240ft long each, and they're made out of pink sailcloth that they use as spinnakers. and then we fill in between the lines on saturday morning with the 175 tarps. >> i just learned something. i

had no idea it was sailcloth. that makes sense. the pink triangle was once used to brand people suspected of being gay in concentration camps. now it's a symbol of protest against homophobia. the triangle is public. celebration starts at 1030 tomorrow morning. that is definitely one of the best things that we do, i think in the city, beautiful sight. it's really cool. and you can see if you're in oakland in the hills. oh yeah, it shines bright. yeah across the bay. our pride coverage continues all month long, leading up to the 54th annual san francisco pride parade, which is sunday, june 30th. abc seven is the only place you can watch it live, streaming wherever you watch abc seven. drew and i will be hosting the parade again this year. we're super excited. >> we'll be out there. i'll be running up and down market street. i will be if you see me. i love seeing folks out there. it's very exciting. >> get on tv, get on tv and we have our lovely pride pride month that reggie got us. >> thank you reggie. how they get. >> they didn't tell us. see how they get. tell us see how they get. yeah

closer to average. it's back to reality, so to speak. the weekend we will have some pockets of morning fog, but a lot of sunshine in the afternoon and it is looking fantastic. very nice weather. and then next week we will warm up again, but it looks like we won't get as hot as we were the past couple of days. but temperatures staying above average. so today's forecast inland expects a lot of sunshine, but cooler air will stay in the 80s for daytime highs. we have some patchy fog around the bay shoreline right now. we'll get that sunshine back and we'll have temperatures very comfortable in the 70s for most, but along the coast we will have fog this morning giving way to some peeks of sunshine. but it is a windy day with temperatures in the 50s, so a breezy and cooler today. highs in the microclimates 70s and 80s in the south bay along the peninsula. 60s and 70s for san mateo, redwood city, but 50s along the coast. with that wind picking up this afternoon, it gets windy across the city today. we'll have winds gusting over 30mph at times, and temperatures in the low and mid 60s in the north bay, 70s and 80s for the most

part, but still. cloverdale, lakeport, ukiah hang on to some of that heat in the 90s. today in the east bay, we have some patchy cloud cover right now, giving way to sunshine by about 9 a.m. 60s and 70 feels a lot better today compared to the past couple of days. if you like that cooler weather and then we'll stay in the 80s today, which. triple digit heat. we had just two days ago. now the evening planner will show you we will have our marine layer surging back in and around the bay shoreline pretty quickly this evening, and it will get chilly, so you definitely want your jacket this evening for any friday night plans. then overnight tonight, we'll have temperatures generally in the 50s with a mix of stars and clouds. and just a quick preview of the weekend forecast. some morning fog on saturday, full sunshine on sunday, both days. temperatures close to average. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. cooler and breezy today with a nice looking weekend on the way. and then next week we do have those temperatures turning around. a bit of a warm up by tuesday and wednesday guys. >> thanks, drew. coming up, the seven things to know this morning instead of starbucks to

a heatwave, it's kinda chilly in here. oh, that's because i'm pre-cooling the house with the ac before 4 pm. then i'll turn our thermostat to a comfortable 78 or higher that way i could stay cool later. ooh, what about me? you're never cool. oh.

has arrived. he is retiring after more than 40 years on the iconic game show you can watch pat sign off tonight at 730 right here on abc seven. children's fairyland in oakland is kicking off summer with a big discount on admission. it is the first of the 5-10 summer fridays promotion. oakland residents can get into the amusement park for just $10. kids are usually are $5. it's usually $19 for adults and $17 for kids. you don't even have to reserve the tickets in advance. the deal is walkup only. you need to show your id with an oakland address. it's available every friday through the end of august. >> a brand new night market made its debut in west oakland. the prescott night market set up last night right across from raimondi park, where the oakland ballers now play. it will be held monthly, and the first three, including tonight's will be paired up with the baseball game. almanac brewing is the anchor tenant and will have a

cashless. in 2019, san francisco supervisor passed an ordinance requiring most businesses to accept cash rather than only debit or credit cards from golden state to hollywood. >> coming up at 530. what we're learning about the new series starring steph curry and a live look outside at 527, where the sun is already coming up at sf

to be key. dress for spring more than summer. looking inland today, it is going to feel very nice. we get relief from the intense heat highs only in the mid 80s. that is where we should be for this time of the year. around the bay shoreline. some patchy cloud cover right now. we'll see bright sunshine by about 9 a.m. and then those daytime highs feeling very comfortable in the mid 70s. but along the coast it is a pretty cloudy day today. it's also breezy and those temperatures in the upper 50s. let's see how that friday morning commute is going forward. >> good morning drew. good morning everyone. yeah right now traffic is starting to build right now. so this is a live look at our emeryville camera. and you can see traffic is filling in in the westbound direction along the east shore freeway. a look at our drive times from highway four to san francisco. it will take you 33 minutes right now. now let's head over to our live desk. we have a heads up for caltrain riders. you may have to make other arrangements if you have plans to ride this weekend, because service between san francisco and san jose will be shut down so the agency can test its new electric trains. so

there will be some busses between the san jose diridon station, as well as the palo alto and millbrae stations. the busses will not run into san francisco. the shut down is part of caltrans work to electrify the railroad with trains that are supposed to be faster, cleaner and more efficient. the new trains will also have wi-fi power outlets at every seat on board displays with digital trip information, more storage, also a baby changing station in the bathrooms, caltrans says that if they find a problem this weekend, they will be doing more tests. but this weekend is the last scheduled shut down and the new trains are set to roll out in september. so again, if you do ride caltrain, make sure you make other arrangements because you will have to figure out a different way to get where you need to go. reggie. >> thanks, gloria. this morning, president biden will deliver a speech on the cliffs of normandy in france. this comes after the 88th anniversary of d-day. abc news reporter perry russom has more on what the president is
