temperatures not too hot. we'll go into the 70s by about 10 a.m. later on this afternoon. highs only in the mid 80s around the bay shoreline. we'll have a lot of cloud cover early on. the afternoon will be bright, but again that cloud cover slow to break down. temperatures in the lower 70s. it is a little breezy today. we'll find those winds a 15 to 25mph later on this afternoon. along the coast. it is overcast with fog and even some drizzle right now. later on today, partly sunny skies and highs in the upper 50s to the lower 60s. let's check in with amanda. see those drive times? yeah. >> good morning drew. so other than the typical slowdown that we see on the altamont pass, we do have a trouble spot in san pablo. this is because of a three car crash. it is blocking two lanes there. the left lanes. this is westbound 80 before san pablo dam road. you should know that the backup is to hilltop drive. emergency crews are on scene. just keep that in mind. here is a live look as well from our caltrans camera. you can see this is obviously a still photo, but you can still see that back

up here. it is sure to be an issue as the morning commute continues to tick up. but here we are at the top of the hour and it's already an issue. so just keep that in mind. let's get back to the desk. >> thanks, amanda. today in oakland, a critical meeting as the city is racing to close a multi-million dollar budget shortfall, all while grappling with that fbi raid of the mayor's home. the city council is set to meet this afternoon to discuss options, and they're all pretty difficult. abc7 news reporter gloria rodriguez tracking the story this morning. gloria, the mayor has a proposal to fill the gap, but the plan hasn't come together yet. >> good morning. kumasi. mayor shengtao has been saying she would balance the budget by selling the city's share of the oakland coliseum. however, a deal to do that is not done yet, and the city administrator's office says it is presenting council members with a variety of budget options. and some of those options include scenarios without the stadium money and would plan for potentially deep spending cuts, such as to public services. city council member noel gallo says oakland is in a

tough spot and facing a deficit of nearly $200 million for both this year and next. and he says if they don't balance today, they will go bankrupt. >> the reality is, is if i make reductions, where do i reduce the budget? what positions do i eliminate or reduce? and certainly the public, my neighbors say they want public service, where the public safety, the increase and despite her ongoing legal issues, mayor tao says she remains focused on supporting the city council pass a balanced budget in a statement on tuesday, tao, insisting that the coliseum stadium sale will go through and pointing out that they have a buyer, the president of a union representing oakland firefighters says if budget cuts were to come through, it would be catastrophic, not just for the fire department, but also for oakland residents. >> and today's meeting starts out 130 in the afternoon, live in the studio. gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. >> thanks, gloria. we're working every day to uncover new details

in the political corruption investigation leading to the raid on mayor sheng tao's home. so here's what we know right now. the mayor's chief of communications has resigned several months into the job. the announcement made yesterday morning, tao and her attorney also parted ways this week. and last night, the mayor sent an email to her supporters reiterating her commitment to the budget and the coliseum deal that we just talked about. she pointed to her speech on monday, where she repeatedly said that she has not committed a crime. abc seven news insider phil matier explains why it appears mayor tao's political allies and supporters are not backing her up. >> but i would say that, for example, at yesterday's news conference with the exception of her chief of staff, there were not you did not see other city council members there. you didn't see other city electeds around her. this is the mayor is on her own on this. and which is which is, you know, sort of understandable because this is what's going on is a bit outside the realm of day to day

operations of the city. this is something on her, even though it involves possibly a business that's doing business with the city of oakland. but then that business has been giving campaign contributions to all the politicians. >> that is true. that is true. >> stay with abc seven news as we follow the latest on the state of oakland, the fbi raid and the mayor's future. we'll continue to update abc seven news.com and the abc seven bay area app. >> we are at the very end of pride month, and overnight, the white house announced a major move by president biden to right a wrong. the u.s. military imposed a thousands of gay service members. amanda, the president is pardoning people convicted under a law that allowed people to be kicked out of the military for being gay. >> yeah, kumasi the president is pardoning veterans who were convicted under article 125 of the uniform code of military justice. now, article 125 prohibited gay sex and was in place from 1951 to 2013, thousands of americans were convicted and faced court martial and were discharged. offering clemency could give veterans access to benefits

they've been denied, like military pension or education benefits. white house officials say they will not automatically have their convictions wiped, but will have to apply and undergo an approval process. now. president biden released a statement saying in part, quote, today i am riding a historic wrong by using my clemency authority to pardon many former service members who were convicted simply for being themselves. so why now, just months ahead of the presidential election? well, the white house says the president is focused on addressing historical injustice, but it has taken time to get all the various agencies on board. back to you. kumasi. >> thanks, amanda. president biden. president biden's announcement comes just a day after the department of veteran affairs made its own potentially life changing announcement for veterans. it's updating its policies to expand access for veterans with other than honorable discharges. it includes service members discharged for their sexual identity, and also people who

may have been experiencing mental or physical health conditions. >> we're actually introducing our veterans to secondary trauma because they're actually being told once again, that they could not get benefits because of their particular discharge. >> the va says the changes provide a pathway to benefits and services for deserving former service members. >> we're counting down to the 2020 rematch on the debate stage, president biden and former president trump, facing off in the first 2024 presidential debate tomorrow. yesterday we asked democratic south bay congressman ro khanna what he thinks president biden needs to focus on. >> i would talk about three big things. he's going to get universal child care. he's going to help make community college and college free or affordable, and he's going to push for an increase in the minimum wage and for working class wages. >> former president trump insists he has no debate, strategy or formal preparation, though he's held more than a dozen policy discussions with advisers. you can watch the

debate right here on abc seven tomorrow night. coverage starts at five, and the debate, hosted by cnn, begins at six. >> 508 this morning in the south bay. right now live. look at san jose. we do have a fair amount of cloud cover. our marine layer is pretty deep. this morning. remember yesterday morning we had mainly clear skies in a lot of areas. this morning we have cloudy conditions in san jose 59 degrees visibility is great though. ten miles. that's as good as it gets. but that's not the story for everybody. the coast, we have some thick fog right now. half moon bay, about a mile and a half of visibility. and we're also seeing drizzle along the coast this morning. so today it's kind of a mixed bag of temperatures area wide. we are cooler than we were yesterday, but a few areas are a bit above average. like napa and santa rosa. but most of us will be below average for this time of the year by a few degrees. it will be breezy later on this afternoon as well. here's future weather. we're still breaking down that fog around the bay shoreline at 930. again, i

mentioned the cloud cover for a lot of us is slow to break down, but the afternoon we get that sunshine peeking out, those winds start to pick up and by the afternoon we'll find those gusts about 15 to 25mph. not too hot anywhere. 80s in our warmest spots inland. widespread 60s and 70s around the bay shoreline will keep it pretty foggy for half moon bay, and highs in the upper 50s. heading into the evening, we'll find that marine layer staying pretty compact along the coastline, so high of only 69 in oakland today. 64 with that breeze in the city, 79 in san jose, we'll go to 80 and napa 80 for the high in concord. looking at the next three days, today, tomorrow, little change to the forecast, and then we'll start to warm up by the end of the week, which will set the stage for a beautiful weekend. reggie, we'll show you that coming up in a few minutes. >> looking forward to that. thank you. drew. still ahead a young child attacked by a dog on a san francisco sidewalk. now, abc7 has learned it's not the first time that dog has been involved in a violent incident. >> enthusiasm from northern california wine makers. why? some say this year could be one

also possible opponents could try to sue to block it back to you at the desk. yes, yes, we're all yes, we're all yes. >> the solano county board of supervisors is now reviewing the proposal to build a new city. hundreds of people showed up for public for a public hearing yesterday on what's known as california forever. the proposed city is the dream of silicon valley billionaires. the supervisors requested an economic impact report of the project. it will take it up when they meet again in july. they will then decide whether to accept the plan or put it before voters in november. >> antioch is moving forward with a plan to crack down on sideshows. last night, the city council unanimously approved an ordinance that will ban people from organizing or promoting sideshows. it will also punish people who watch that part. got a lot of feedback before the vote. >> i don't think that you need a specifically make any person within 200ft uh- a criminal of these sideshows. if i want to

take my phone out and i want to video this and then hand that video over to the police. but now i'm also a criminal. >> these are not really spectators. they're encouraging the actual drivers of those vehicles. >> if people get caught, they could face a fine as well as jail time. antioch's mayor has said it could be a few months before the ordinance goes into effect. some businesses in san francisco's tenderloin area could soon be forced to close at midnight because of a newly passed curfew. yesterday, the board of supervisors gave final approval to an ordinance that requires markets selling retail items, prepackaged foods or tobacco to close from midnight to five in the morning. so think corner stores and liquor stores. san francisco mayor london breed says these stores are magnets for people selling drugs and stolen goods. some businesses will be allowed to stay open until 2 a.m. the city will try out the curfew for two years.
