5:07 pm
warning and some watches out there. spencer christian joins me now to break that all down. but there are some concerns going forward. >> oh major concerns j.r. as you mentioned we have an excessive heat warning in effect now for virtually the entire bay area upgraded from or raised in severity level from an advisory yesterday. so here's the map. you can see all those areas shaded in that darker color there. that's the excessive heat warning for the entire bay area. the areas in yellow which would include the bay shoreline and santa cruz area. that's an advisory. but still, for all of these areas, the serious conditions, this kind of heat raises significantly the risk of heat related illnesses. you don't have to spend a lot of time outdoors for the heat to have a horrible effect on your health. now, here's a look at projected high temperatures over the next few days for tuesday. we're talking about numerous locations inland all around the bay area between 102 and 112 degrees, then on wednesday, pretty much the same range, about 102 to 110. this heat wave
5:08 pm
isn't going to break until perhaps next sunday, so just about every day in the next seven days, we're expecting some some areas with the temperatures at or above 100 degrees. so just a few safety tips to keep yourself healthy during a heat wave like this. drink lots of fluids, of course. wear lightweight clothing. take breaks in the shade if you can find it, or air conditioning if you have access to it, and recognize the signs of heat related illness. so limit outdoor activity, especially any strenuous activity and never leave people or pets. obviously inside cars, even talk about some power shut offs that we could see this week that is always a concern for folks, especially in the north bay. that's likely to happen because of the strain on the grid. you know, when we have this kind of heat and everyone's trying to stay cool using the air conditioning or running water or whatever consumes energy and again, we're talking about health risks right now, which are of course, significantly uh- a very significant but then there's the increased risk of fire, which is also a major concern right now. we've got very low relative humidity.
5:09 pm
winds are going to be a little gusty from time to time. and this excessive heat. >> thank you so much, spencer. all right. governor gavin newsom has signed california's budget to close an estimated $46 billion deficit. the move was made possible through $16 billion in spending cuts and increased taxes on certain businesses. companies with at least $1 million in revenue will have to pay the higher tax. lawmakers predict this will bring in an extra $5 billion for the state next year. the deficit was about $32 billion last year before growing even bigger this year. happening tomorrow several new state laws will take effect here in california. it will be illegal for landlords to charge more than one month's rent for a security deposit. the new law, introduced by san francisco assemblyman matt haney, restricts landlords from charging two times the monthly rent as a security deposit. haney says 53% of renters in the state can't afford their monthly
5:10 pm
rent, but are not able to get an apartment because they can't afford two month's rent. here's a look at some other new laws taking effect tomorrow. one will require bars and nightclubs to stock drug testing kits. the move will allow customers to test their drinks for date rape drugs. there will also be higher gun taxes. anyone who buys firearms or ammunition in california will now pay an additional 11% tax. that's on top of existing federal taxes, and the state's 6% sales tax. the state will also enforce a cap on security deposits. landlords will be limited to requiring no more than one month's rent for a deposit. the fourth, the state is responding to workplace violence. this law requires california employers to create and implement workplace violence prevention plans. if you want to know what other state laws are taking effect tomorrow, we've put a list together that you can read and share with your friends. it's on

abc seven news.com. well, what was supposed to be a weekend getaway has turned into a working vacation for president biden. still ahead, how the president's lackluster debate performance is affecting the whole family's weekend at camp david. and nba free agency is underway. and the big question on the minds of warriors fans is klay thompson really going to leave? c
5:12 pm
5:13 pm
pelosi is weighing in, expressing support for president biden following his poor showing
5:14 pm
in last week's presidential debate. the new york times reports that president biden was told by family members to stay in the race during a gathering at camp david. this weekend. the trip was planned long in advance , but the times reports the purpose shifted after biden's rough debate. the president is trying to reassure donors that he has what it takes to stay in the race. this morning on cnn's state of the union, nancy pelosi tried to turn the attention to the lies of former president trump that he told during the debate and on biden's integrity. >> we see joe biden up close. we know how attuned he arts to the issues, how informed he is, and i debate with him about legislation and not debate, but discuss it with them. he's right there. so in any case, it was a bad night. let's not sugarcoat that. >> pelosi also said that if the democratic party chooses or were to choose another nominee at this stage, it could be chaotic.
5:15 pm
a warning tonight for swimmers heading into what could be dangerous waters this holiday week. some areas are seeing a spike in water rescues due to rip currents, and off duty lifeguards sprang into action in florida this week when he got word of swimmers in distress. he raced into the water that had dangerous rip currents following an earlier storm, the lifeguard managed to save a whole family of swimmers who had been swept 200 yards into the gulf of mexico. >> the hard part is recognizing where these things are. oftentimes, if you're not trained to see them and locate them, you don't realize that you're in them. >> experts say low spots along the beach or areas near piers are often where rip currents form. they say if you're caught in one, you should try to swim parallel to shore to try and break that grip. the commute for thousands of bay area drivers is about to get more expensive. when we come back, we'll tell you about the toll increase taking effect on the golden gate bridge starting tomorrow.
5:16 pm
>> i'm spencer christian, the bay area is going to be in the grips of a dangerous heat wave in the coming week. i'll give you a close up look at the then we are looking for you. we are the peace corps. with volunteers in more than 60 countries. living together. working together. transforming lives. together. join us.
5:17 pm
5:18 pm
they will go up every year for the next four years. if you have fast track, it's going to cost $9.25. for those of you with a pay as you go account, it will be 950. toll increases are expected to create $139 million in revenue, but that still might not be enough to erase the deficit, which is pegged at around 220 million. so certainly some concerns right there. spencer christian, last night you said it was going to be a beautiful day here and you were
5:19 pm
dead on. now you're talking about this heat concern. now i'm a little concerned with this forecast. yes. >> we have health concerns and fire concerns as we're going to be in the grips of a heat wave like one we haven't seen in a long, long time. here's a look at what's going on right now. we've got some cooling breezes near the coast where i say cooling. i mean a little bit of relief if you're right there at the coast with gusts up to 41mph at sfo, at 22 mile per hour gusts at novato. so anywhere near the coast probably feels pretty good right now. but the concern is with gusts like that going into the week with the heat and the low relative humidity, that means increased fire risk right now under blue skies. 63 in san francisco, low 70s at oakland and hayward, upper 70s to about 80. redwood city and san jose. nice view from mount tam looking down onto the bay. no hint of any fog near the coast right now, or at least not near the golden gate. 93 in santa rosa 75. petaluma 84. napa 90 in fairfield and concord. and one more live view from emeryville looking toward the golden gate. these are the forecast headlines. heat wave this week. an excessive heat warning will be in effect from tuesday to friday. triple digit
5:20 pm
temperatures will prevail all through the inland areas for about 5 or 6 days, anywhere from 100 to 112 degrees, and the heat will persist through the next six days into next sunday. before we get a break in that triple digit heat. so here is the excessive heat warning that covers virtually all of the bay area and excessive heat. watch for the areas right around the bay shoreline. again, this is in effect from tuesday morning to friday evening. and of course that means an increased risk of heat related illness. so try to limit your time outdoors if you can during the overnight hours. not much of a marine layer forming, maybe down along the peninsula coastline, maybe some drizzle offshore, but it's going to be mainly clear over land areas and under those clear skies. look for low temperatures, mainly in the mid to upper 50s and highs tomorrow ranging from 72 in san francisco to 80 in oakland. some mid to upper 80s around the bay shoreline and upper 90s inland. but now we've got the accuweather seven day forecast showing lots of 100 degree readings plus up to about 100 inland. tomorrow, uh- 112. in
5:21 pm
the hottest areas on tuesday, up to about 110 on wednesday in the hottest areas. mid 90s around the bay shoreline. we don't see that very often. mid 70s on the coast on wednesday and then later in the week still triple digits inland going into next sunday when finally we'll see. we hope to see the inland highs drop below 100 degrees. wow. >> and the fire danger out there as well. >> that's right. low humidity, gusty winds from time to time. excessive heat. >> spencer, thank you very much. he's waiting in the helm over here. chris alvarez going to tell us what's going on in the sports world. basketball >> yeah, i also could have used one of those team escorts like a police escort to work. spencer could have two. the city was crazy today. oh my gosh, guys. scooters coming up in sports. the giants looking for a rare series victory against the dodgers. and as jr mentioned, basketball. we're waiting on clay. all signs point towards a splash. brother leaving town. but which teams are in the running. s

thompson helped deliver it to the bay area. during his time with the warriors and now it's an all but foregone conclusion that the splash brother will move on in free agency. so what nba city will captain klay be setting sail for? espn reports that clay has, have, or is set to have discussions with the mavericks, lakers, clippers and 70 sixers in the opening hours of free agency, which is right now with multiple sources saying he's open to a sign and trade deal. espn cap insider bobby marks reports the mavericks have a $16.1 million trade exception created from the tim hardaway jr
5:25 pm
trade. the lakers and clippers would be in that 12.8 million non-tax mid-level. unless there's a sign and trade worked out there. the sixers could have $14 million in room if paul george signs with philly, it looks like paul george will be the block. and then everyone else kind of follows after he decides his team, the warriors, have waived future hall of famer chris paul. the 39 year old guard now becomes an unrestricted free agent. does it push back his deadline to guarantee his $30 million salary for the season to try and make a trade, but couldn't find a deal with any other team? played one season with the dubs. was part of that jordan poole trade with the wizards last summer. he's going to be entering his 20th season this fall. baseball now final game of the giants and dodgers in san francisco this season. this is how i should have got to work. bottom two one nothing. jorge soler doubles off the center field wall run scores. it's two nothing. soler with two doubles today. bottom four for nothing. two on for elliott ramos. deep drive to center. bounces off the wall. it's an rbi double. it's five
