some concern. a lot of heat is coming. here's a look at live doppler seven along with the satellite and radar, and you can see the onshore flow. so we've got a nice little breeze right now. and for today, at least this evening, it might feel relatively cool. 40 mile per hour gusts at sfo right now and pretty breezy just about everywhere. so let's take a look at current temperature readings. we have 60s mainly mid to upper 60s from san francisco to hayward, upper 70s at san jose and redwood city, 57 at half moon bay, looking down onto the bay from mount tam. a nice view right now. 82 degrees, 87 degrees right uh- let's go back 88 degrees at santa rosa, 72 at petaluma, low 80s at napa, low 90s at fairfield to concord, 85 at livermore. and now let's check out our forecast headlines. and there's some concern here. heat wave ahead is going to bring excessive heat to us. and as a result we have an excessive heat warning which i'll show you in a moment. triple digit temperatures will prevail for the next several days. 100 to about 112 degrees in our inland areas. and that heat is going to persist at least into next weekend. now let's talk about that heat. excessive heat warning for the
6:20 pm
entire bay area and excessive heat. watch for this area right around the bay shoreline. so during this period of time with this kind of excessive heat, there's an elevated concern, an elevated risk of heat related illness as well as an elevated risk of fire. so bear that in mind as well. during the overnight hours, we'll see lots of clear skies. overnight lows will be generally in the upper 50s. high temperatures tomorrow, low 60s at the coast right around the bay shoreline. we'll see some mid 80s. inland areas will warm up to upper 90s to about 100 degrees. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. so tomorrow is our first taste of triple digit heat. look at tuesday and wednesday. inland highs will be around 112 110. and the hottest areas. and there will be several of those locations hitting those temperatures mid 90s around the bay shoreline tuesday and wednesday. thursday we've still got temperatures above 100 for the 4th of july, about 104 to 106. the max temperatures thursday through saturday. not until next sunday do we expect the heat to break, just enough
6:21 pm
to give us some minor cooling. >> well, this video is great right here. klay thompson after his fourth championship. that's how many times he delivered a championship to the bay area. and now it's an all but foregone conclusion. the splash weather will move on from the warriors in nba free agency. so what city is captain klay setting sail for? espn reports klay plans to have discussions with the dallas mavericks, l.a. lakers. la clippers and the philadelphia 76 ers in the opening hours of free agency which is now underway. multiple sources saying he is open to a sign and trade deal. so that could be something for the warriors espn cap insider bobby marks says there are a myriad of possibilities for klay's potential salary, ranging anywhere between 12.8 million to 16 $16.1 million per year, based on the team he goes to right now, dallas can potentially offer the most money per season. while the lakers hold some sentimental value for klay, whose dad played for the lakers. klay grew up going to staples and watching kobe. reports say lebron james is pushing hard to bring klay to the lakers. we'll wait and see. the warriors,
6:22 pm
though, have waived future hall of famer chris paul. the dubs pushed back the deadline of his $30 million guaranteed salary for this coming year to try and make a trade, but failed to find a partner. paul played one season with the warriors after being acquired via the jordan poole trade with washington last summer. espn's adrian wardrobe now reports paul has agreed to a one year, 11 million plus dollar deal with the san antonio spurs to join wemby all right, final game of the giants and dodgers in san francisco this season. that's a good way to get to work, especially today. bottom two one nothing game. jorge soler doubling off the center field wall runs scores two nothing san francisco he had two doubles today in the fourth four nothing. game two on for elliott ramos. deep drive. not a home run but bounces off the bottom of the wall. an rbi double five nothing. next batter it's patrick bailey with two on liner in the left field. seven nothing. giants. he had two doubles. the giants actually hit a franchise record ten doubles today. double double like an
6:23 pm
in-n-out order, but matt chapman goes home run two, run shot nine. nothing. they win ten four, securing their first series victory over the dodgers at oracle since 2022. off day tomorrow. they'll be in atlanta on tuesday. how about the rubber match between the a's and diamondbacks family? full of a's fans there at chase field in phoenix in the fifth down one nothing. zach gallup high and deep to right. it's going to bounce over the wall. that's the 900th home run in oakland history. tied at one and left the negotiations for that baseball again. hey i want that ball. bottom seven same score. bases loaded for blaise alexander. and that gets through. the snakes take the lead for good. they win five one. a's are back home tuesday night to host the angels. so now if you're a basketball fan you're just stuck on your phone and refresh refresh refresh. where's klay going. where's klay going. >> it sure would be strange seeing him in a lakers uniform. >> yeah it would. anything that's not a warriors uniform. but i kind of have a sense that he would go there. like i said
6:24 pm
his dad played there played there. he grew up watching the lakers. being a kobe fan. so that would kind of make the most sense. but a lot of things could happen. >> and why aren't the reports years ago or recent years ago that lebron wanted to play with steph? i guess you can't get steph. you go for the next best thing in klay. yeah, absolutely. >> we'll wait and see. it will be weird though to see him in a different uniform. >> very strange. starting tomorrow it's going to cost a little more to cross the golden gate bridge. excuse me. fares will rise by $0.50 to help address a budget deficit. they will go up every year for the next four years. if you have a fast track, it is going to cost $9.25. for those with a pay as you go account, it will be 950. the 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. still ahead pups on parade the event in the east bay today that had dog owners showing pride in
