there is still no sign of oakland mayor shengtao tonight after the fbi raided her home and three other locations as part of some sort of investigation. but reaction is trickling in. good evening. i'm j.r. stone. we're still waiting to hear from the fbi on why agents showed up at the mayor's home on maiden lane in oakland before dawn on thursday. other

agents, including from the irs, raided the embarcadero offices of california waste solutions, which runs the city's recycling company. two homes on view, crest court and skyline boulevard, were also raided. they are connected to the duong family, which runs california waste solutions. as a federal investigation gets underway linked to business owners in oakland, the spotlight remains on oakland's embattled mayor. a growing number of voices are calling for shengtao to resign, including the oakland chapter of the naacp. abc seven news reporter anser hassan got an interesting, interesting that is reaction from one of the leaders of the recall effort. >> reporter saturday evening, oakland mayor sheng tao's house showed no sign that anyone was home, but on friday, the lawyer for the embattled mayor spoke about the pending federal investigation into possible public corruption. >> i would point out the search warrants were for the address. okay, okay.

judge brenda harbin forte, a former alameda county superior court judge, says it's even more critical for tao to gracefully step down given this open federal investigation. >> the fbi is never going to tell you you are or not a target of an investigation. they don't have to tell you that, judge harbin forte says tao is entitled to the presumption of innocence, acknowledging that the tao hasn't even been charged. >> but the judge believes this investigation will be a distraction, especially as city council has to tackle a historic budget deficit. the oakland chapter of the naacp issued a statement reading, in part oaklanders deserve a mayor who's not distracted fully committed and able to lead the city, experts say this current federal investigation could take months, if not longer, in oakland, anser hassan abc seven news. >> this is clearly an ongoing investigation, and we're going to stay on it. so stay with abc seven news to learn the latest about what's happening with the

influence. right now the winds aren't very strong, but it's breezy out there and the nighttime temperatures are beginning to come down. but the 24 hour temperature change shows it's still 6 to 10 degrees warmer in most bay area locations than at this time last night. so that heat from this afternoon is just slowly fading. it's 56 in san francisco right now, 61 in oakland, hayward, 64, 70, in san jose. redwood city, 65 and 51 at half moon bay. nice unobstructed view, unobstructed by clouds or fog from mount tam looking down onto parts of san francisco. 59 of santa rosa right now, petaluma only 5261 at napa and we have low to mid 70s at fairfield, concord and livermore. now let's check out our forecast headlines tomorrow. the heat will be easing area wide early next week. temperatures start to moderate and then late next week we expect fog returning to the coastline. some of it will show up tonight, but i'm steady. reliable pattern of fog returning and of course a cooler weather pattern late next week. so for tonight we'll see the low clouds and fog pushing up to the coastline and pushing locally across the bay overnight. there'll be lots of patchy

drizzle offshore for a couple of spots of drizzle may hit the coastline, but we don't expect it to move inland and we'll start the day tomorrow with mostly sunny skies inland, but some lingering low clouds at the coast now. overnight, low temperatures will be mainly in the mid to upper 50s. some lower 50s closer to the coastline and in parts of the north bay. so mild overnight, not uncomfortably so. highs tomorrow much lower than the highs today. notice these inland east bay areas that all had triple digits today 91 in fairfield tomorrow 95 at antioch livermore 93. we had 102 at saint helena today up in the north bay tomorrow, 81 at napa, 89 at santa rosa and right around the bay shoreline, mainly mid to upper 70s tomorrow. now, as we look ahead to monday, you see temperatures continuing to come down. so that cooling trend continues. we'll see a couple of 90 degree or higher ratings inland on monday, then on tuesday, mainly upper 80s in the inland areas. and that'll be sort of a steady pattern going into the middle of the week before we get further cooling. and speaking of further cooling, here's the accuweather seven day

forecast. so fairly steady pattern tomorrow through wednesday of low to mid 90s as our inland highs mid to upper 70s around the bay shoreline about 60 on the coast. not much variation in temperatures on the coast for the week ahead. later in the week. notice how the highs drop down to about 88 to 90 in our inland areas, which is more of a seasonal range. mid 70s around the bay shoreline and again about 60 at the coast because not much changes at the coast weather. i mean temperature wise. >> somebody messaged me earlier today. they said, jerry, i'm in brentwood, it's 103, save me. and i said, wow, you got hot out there. >> it really did. it was a great day to bear in mind that you have to stay hydrated if you're outside, try to seek shade or seek air conditioning when you can, and don't overexert yourself. but it was a one day heat spike, not a heat wave. so we're very fortunate. >> thank you so much. yeah, still head on abc seven news at 11. say hey. the special tribute today in san francisco to the legendary willie mays

storefront, there is one name which stands out over and over again. >> i don't know because nicole morgan never heard of it. >> kazuka morgan. >> my name is kazuko morgan. cushman and wakefield executive vice chairman. >> so your name is everywhere around here. that must be a heavy burden on you. you see, kazuko morgan finds tenants for those exclusive retail spaces in union square which haven't been doing all that wondrous in recent years. >> it's not a real burden, but it's a it's a responsibility to make sure that we continue to have the great quality and variety of retailers. >> so where is san francisco today? union square, because i see a lot of for lease signs. >> so union square today is in a much better place than it was four years ago. >> according to cushman and wakefield, the current vacancy rate in union square during the first quarter of this year was a little more than 20. but morgan told us spaces are being leased

or in negotiation, even though the signs have not been taken down. why not? then put just leased like, you know, just sold this house? >> this market tends to be a lot more understated. uh- tenants don't like to announce until they're ready. you cannot control the permit process. you know there's delays. >> so behind this for lease sign, there may already be a tenant waiting to move in. case in point, the new nintendo store will be housed at this location, which still has a for lease sign. but keep in mind that at the peak in 2016, the vacancy rate around union square was only 3. >> so they say the streets are paved in gold. here in san francisco, i hear people say, wow, london is thriving. >> new york is back and san francisco not so much. so what's it going to take? >> i think there's a combination

of things. number one is the never activity of the press. and it's definitely not what you see today. i can't tell you how many people come and tour and visit us. no, but i'm saying they come and visit. they're like, san francisco's great. what's everybody talking about? >> other industries like tourism are expected to eventually bring business back to this location. >> the convention business. right. this was a down year, but in the coming years that will increase as well. and then i think most importantly is our office workers. >> when people are not going to come back, they've told me that do you work from from home at all? no, i do not. neither do i, yes. so i mean, how are we going to change that mindset? >> i think it comes from the top down. >> even some city workers are still working from home. a few days a week, despite mayor london breed insisting that they come back in person five days a week. >> we're four days a week, so i

agree with you. the city has to lead by example, and we've had that conversation with a lot of our big companies that we represent here, shifting from union square to the financial district, we find that the vacancy rate for commercial space in the area is 30. >> mark mcgranahan of avison young, a commercial real estate company, is a firm believer that residential housing downtown will help turn things around. >> we need more residential housing downtown san francisco, right? so i just came back from new york and in chicago, and there's much more housing, which then creates more retail, which then creates more activity and gets people more confident and comfortable to be here. so if we have conventions, we have visitors and we have more housing. that's just going to create the right fabric of the community to get those small businesses going and back to retail. >> gone are the days when many department stores needed those huge spaces. their format has gotten smaller because their business model is also supported by online shoppers. now, which brings us to the elephant in the

room or in this case, union square. macy's kazuko morgan told us she would make it a multi tenant location with different kinds of uses that would drive people in. we'll see in the newsroom. lyanne melendez, abc seven news spencer christian here. >> interesting story. the long debate there. can we call you mister microclimate tonight. you certainly can because it was like that around the bay area today. that's the story of bay area weather so often right? yes. the difference from one microclimate to the next. well, today we had heat just about everywhere except on the coast tonight, as you can see on the future cast, we'll get a little cooling relief and onshore flow, little return of the marine layer, some offshore drizzle. and that means the overnight temperatures will be in a fairly comfortable range. a little mild, but mainly mid to upper 50s. then tomorrow a much cooler day than today. we had so many locations today inland in the triple digits. tomorrow warmest locations inland will be in the low to mid 90s. we'll see upper 70s around the bay where today
