the upper 60s. throughout the seven 8:00 hour inland. and then it's 80s there, mid 70s around the bay shore. those breezy winds kicking up the marine layer returning tonight. so pretty nice afternoon. but you could see some haze up in the north bay, maybe even into the east bay later in the afternoon. amanda. >> yeah, it's a pretty clear commute so far here at 501, with the exception of a troubled spot over in fremont. it's been an issue since about 130 this morning. that's when a tanker truck filled with salt water overturned. it is continuing to block the thornton avenue on ramp to northbound 880. again, this is in fremont. we do have some video and you can see it's on its side here. it is blocking the thornton avenue onramp to northbound 880. it is still closed at this hour with no estimated time of reopening, but the good news is, as you see it here in the ditch where it's not really blocking the freeway, so hopefully they can get that uprighted and removed in time for the really heavy morning commute. and then we want to get back to the graphics and see if

employer and taxpayer. the western states petroleum association believes relying on the chevron refinery could be a risky move if the business ever decides to leave the bay area. now, this isn't the first time richmond has tried to pass a tax on oil refineries. back in 2008, voters approved a similar measure, but that was ultimately struck down in court a year later. back to you at the desk, kumasi. >> thanks, amanda. there is a new way to find out about refinery flaring and other air quality concerns. the bay area air quality management district just announced a new notification service. residents can sign up to get texts and emails about impacts to air quality in their area. you can sign up on the district's website. >> last week, the san jose city council approved a basic plan to tackle the homeless crisis in the city. today they'll consider how to put it into action. that includes continuing to evaluate nine locations for sanctioned encampments that could eventually house up to 500 people. matt mayor matt mehan joined homeless advocates at the guadalupe river yesterday, moving unhoused people from along san jose waterways to

those locations is part of the multi year strategy. the sites could provide basic services like food, showers and caseworkers to help people. >> i believe we have to build basic shelter, including safe sleeping and safe parking sites for folks who are out here and when they're available. i believe we need to require that people come indoors and take advantage of them. >> the city faces new pressure to find a solution. san jose says it has about a year to end pollution within its waterways and come into compliance with the clean water act, or risk fines from the state. >> candidates for mayor of san francisco are working to differentiate themselves from one another over major policies facing the city. the major candidates have faced off in their second debate, hosted by the san francisco democratic party. the candidates on stage included incumbent mayor london breed, daniel lurie, the philanthropist and founder of anti-poverty nonprofit mark farrell. the former mayor and supervisor aaron peskin, who is currently the board of supervisors president. and ahsha

bay to the east bay. and then by the evening hours, it pretty much is staying up in the north bay. but you may smell and see a little bit of haze out there, particularly sonoma and napa, maybe into marin as well. 63 it's mild in san rafael, 61, san jose, 59. in concord, our fire danger index is pretty low this morning. but as we go through the next couple of hours, stopping this after 5:00 and it's moderate to high in the upper elevations of the east bay, the north bay, even the santa cruz mountains, some high clouds today, 73 in richmond, partly cloudy skies, 83 in vallejo. look for 82 in san jose. so comfortable out there and eventually getting that sea breeze across the bay throughout the day. today and then that marine layer returns overnight tonight. the accuweather seven day forecast cooling off the next couple of days for the juneteenth holiday, and then warming up for the first day of summer. back to you guys. >> boeing ceo facing lawmakers on capitol hill today. what he's expected to say about the latest safety issues with his company's planes as another whistleblower comes forward.

valencia street because of the removal of dozens of parking spots. business owners would get to choose between two options for the new lane. one would put the bike lane between the sidewalk and their parklet. if they have one, the other would keep the parklet at the curb and have bikes closer to traffic. now, if the board approves the proposal today, detailed designs would then be presented at another board meeting. transit officials say that wouldn't happen until later this year. back to the desk this morning, the sky star ferris wheel attraction is missing from the skyline of fisherman's wharf. >> this is only temporary. the sky star has been taken down in order to do the work necessary to fulfill the requirements of an 18 month permit extension from the port of san francisco. you may remember the sky star was moved from golden gate park to fisherman's wharf in time for the apec summit last november. the sky star will reopen the first week of july. >> san francisco's effort to bring historically black colleges and universities to the west coast has taken a major

kristen sze spoke live with the director of the berkeley igs poll. >> if you compare it to the last presidential election four years ago, we actually had over 80% of voters turning out uh- this isn't actually a necessarily a forecast of the actual turnout, but it was a meant to just identify by which voters seem to be most likely to be on board to participate, and which ones may or may not. and we also asked them the reasons for doing so. and one of the most striking findings was that when you ask the likely voters who why they're likely to vote, they basically say they want to vote for president. it's an important race, and that's their top reason. they give a lot of other reasons for voting in california elections. but that's the top one. and when you ask the people less likely to vote, what's their main reason they don't like the presidential candidates . and so it's kind of cutting both ways. it's both a, a positive for those who are likely to vote. but those who

are not. it's actually an inhibiting factor. and of course, the presidential race has always driven, you know, people to the ballot. >> and again, that was from our 3 p.m. show. >> it's become clearer and clearer that there are significant harms from social media. and we need to be taking action right away. >> comparing cigarets to social media, the new federal call to change what children see when they log on. but first, a check on the weather with lisa. >> all right. tuesday morning and waking up to hazy conditions up in the north bay. look at this shot from mount tam. you can see we had a smoky sunset last night and kind of a smoky sunrise here. 54 in the city, 59 in hayward. we've got 61 san jose and the view from our east bay hills cam our top vollmer peak with 61 by the delta 46 in petaluma. so that onshore flow will be welcome as we get into the afternoon hours. still a few hours left to our red flag warning, which includes vallejo, solano county out towards the

delta and the northern sacramento valley, and the surface smoke with no wind overnight or very light wind kind of just sitting there, the east bay, the peninsula. but as we get into that northwesterly wind, it kind of gets blown over to the east and then kind of settles up back towards napa, sonoma. so those onshore winds over 20 to 25 miles an hour throughout the later afternoon soon. and we'll look for sunny conditions. some high clouds. and that marine layer is going to take a while to return. but you'll notice the high clouds throughout your tuesday afternoon. and then here comes the low cloud deck reforming early tomorrow. so a mix of that and some higher clouds tomorrow. making for a cooler afternoon. as we look at livermore, you'll notice that as we get towards the middle of the week, we have comfortable temperatures into tomorrow and thursday, and then check it out near 100 degrees on saturday. but cooling off as soon as sunday. highs today. partly cloudy, a bit hazy at times, otherwise in the 80s. today climbing through the 80s in our inland valleys and that

haze from sonoma through napa, parts of the east bay. and then notice some of the high clouds out there. 76 in palo alto, the accuweather seven day forecast for cooler in the next couple of days, then warming up in time for summer and part of the

lights have just flipped on. things are only slowly starting to fill in. not quite just yet, but it will take you about 37 minutes to get from highway four into the city with nothing in your way. as you make your way into san francisco. now to the live desk. today, california's largest school district could take the first step to a total ban of cell phones on school campuses. no cell phones have a potential to be a distraction. now lausd is attempting to tackle the problem at school again. the school board is set to hear a proposal that would

ban phones throughout the school day, including break periods, according to board members. the district's cell phone policy that's already in place is not fully enforced. today's resolution calls for feedback from students, parents and teachers. youth mental health experts are optimistic about the policy. >> it's really important for schools to recognize that this is a unique opportunity to teach our current teens about how do we actually navigate using technology appropriately and also setting boundaries, healthy boundaries. >> the guidelines as to how this would work varies by age groups. the district would fund the resolution, schools would individually implement this policy at their own discretion. board members say this means students might have to put their phones in a cell phone locker or a phone pouch for the day. you might be familiar with those pouches from attending a comedy show or a concert back to you at the desk. >> there's a new federal push to put a cigaret style warning label on social media sites, all in an effort to protect kids. we first mentioned this yesterday

morning. the u.s. surgeon general, doctor vivek murthy, is calling for this, and he says that social media is associated with significant mental health harms for adolescents. studies show kids spent almost five hours a day on social media. abc seven spoke with a primary care physician who has worked on the nationally distributed screenagers movies trilogy. these are documentaries about the mental health effects that social media can have on kids. >> and they and what social media does is it throws in two ton wrench into that already difficult phase of adolescence. first, it does this by constant comparison, and the second is really heightening social aggression. the tech choice trade association is calling the announcement an oversimplification, then saying that adding a warning label to social media sites would require congress to pass legislation. >> parents may have to lead by example if they're hoping to limit their child's screen time, a new study revealed. parents screen use can be linked to

their children's screen time. results also show that using screens during meals and at bedtime can be especially harmful. nearly half of adolescents reported having access to a phone while in bed. experts suggest parents take away screens during those times to get the most effective results. a quarter of children are apparently worrying a lot, so much so they have a hard time sleeping. 1 in 4 parents surveyed in the c.s. mott children's hospital poll said their child has trouble getting to sleep because of anxiety or worry. other issues noted in the survey. kids waking up at night going into their parents beds sometimes, or wanting a parent to stay in the room until they fall asleep. experts say consistent bedtime routines can help sleep issues. >> new developments for a well-known san jose water park about to reopen. calabanga, formerly known as raging waters, now has a website and ticket info, but there's still no opening date. >> you ever see the movie the money pit? this is it. >> that is calabanga ceo being

forthcoming about the challenges he faces reopening. that was an exclusive interview he did with us last month. crews have been making repairs to the water park for a month. it's supposed to open sometime in june, but we don't know when. >> yeah, when lauren did that interview with him, they said they were still looking for 250 workers. that's a lot of people to be opening this month. >> so, see, this would have been a dream job for me as a high school or college student. >> we were just talking about that in the newsroom to where so many of the this new generation, they don't do the typical lifeguarding or, you know, what do they do? >> or do they do they do tiktok, social media? >> oh, okay. wanting to influence. >> yeah, yeah. >> and that gets you gas money. i mean, whatever it is. hey, kids, whatever you're doing, if you can pay for it, do it. >> and if you need a job, calabanga is clearly fine.

>> yeah. >> all right. yeah. the weather's going to cooperate. uh. too bad it won't be open over the weekend. san jose will see highs well into the 90s for a few days. the end of the week, the beginning of the weekend. right now, it's all about the haze up in the north bay. we had a bit of a smoky view from mount tam. here's a look from our exploratorium camera, where you see the clear sky. a few high clouds 54 in the city, 57 in oakland, 61 in san jose with the coast there, 40 three half moon bay and san francisco right here, a little hazy, with 51 in napa, 61 by the delta, 51 in santa rosa. so looking at the early morning hours, the red flag warning expires at about 8:00. we'll still be breezy. we get a return to an onshore flow and then we'll be looking at the slightly cooler temperatures come wednesday into thursday. with the fog back, though, it should feel better. we get an increase in our relative humidity. still looking at our fire danger index throughout the day today as it continues to ramp up with those winds, even

though they're going to be more from an onshore component, we still have a very dry atmosphere. and so the yellows indicate the high possibility that there could be some fire starts out there from the upper elevations, primarily of the north bay, east bay, santa cruz mountains, humidity today down to anywhere from about 17% in san jose and napa. and you can see higher there by the water. but look what happens when we see that return to that onshore flow or back up to about 4,043% for the south bay inland valleys and still kind of low here in the north bay. so still be careful out there. of course, this year, the entire summer is certainly critical as we dry out considerably. thursday's cooler with mid 80s inland. friday we heat up mid 90s and then as we get into saturday, the warmest day, we'll see for quite some time. flirting with 100 out by brentwood and antioch, some low 80s along the bay shore. and then we'll be looking at those comfortable 60s at the coast. so a few high clouds and 70s for
