6:02 am
wave of your time. this morning. we're talking about the warm temperatures this afternoon. and then the heat risk just builds as we head into tuesday. so here's a live look outside from our sutro tower camera. the sun is up here this morning. we have a pretty mild morning ahead 50s and 60s. right now. so we'll take a look at our inland temperatures. first. it is a hot afternoon. you can see we're closing in on about 100 degrees later on today. so well above average. lots of sunshine out there. no advisories in effect today. our excessive heat warnings kick in here tomorrow, but still it is going to be a hot afternoon later on today around the bay shoreline. we will see sunny conditions going into the 70s and 80s for daytime highs. and then along the coast. we do have some cloud cover this morning, giving way to partly cloudy skies this afternoon and temperatures will be in the 60s now. tonight we have an increased risk of fire danger because we'll have a bit of an offshore wind developing. so a red flag warning will be in effect for the north bay mountains. the east bay hills, a northerly wind will increase overnight, gusting to about
6:03 am
25mph, and it will drop humidity levels very low, down to 10. so we have to stay vigilant under these conditions. we'll talk about the excessive heat warning coming up in a few minutes. let's check in with frances, see how the commute is going. hi, drew. >> morning, everyone. so we do have a few slow spots. one of them, of course, is the bay bridge with metering lights on. you can see the backup now has grown just about to the end of the parking lot, so not terrible. and there was an earlier injury crash in the maze, but you can see traffic is flowing well now. westbound 80 is on the right hand side heading towards the bay bridge. it was a little slow, but now the heaviest part is just getting towards the metering lights. the slow spots though is really westbound 580 from tracy to dublin. almost an hour now at 54 minutes. that's been slow all morning with an early morning crash. but in the north bay, southbound 101 looking good. san rafael to san francisco green at 16 minutes. and of course you'll see brake lights on westbound four. antioch to concord is now a very slow 32 minutes. reggie aqui kumasi.
6:04 am
>> thanks so much, francis. you only have about an hour until we are expecting a blockbuster blockbuster decision from the supreme court just after seven, the justices are expected to rule on presidential immunity. >> this decision will decide if former president trump will face trial for trying to overturn the 2020 election. abc news reporter and when live in washington and this is a key case with major implications for decades to come. >> kumasi reggie aqui. the clock is ticking down now. the high court's decision expected today, could upend multiple criminal cases. the former president trump currently faces, and could have further implications on the powers of the nation's highest office, just hours away from a major supreme court decision on former president trump's immunity claim. facing four felony charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, trump claimed he has broad presidential immunity that would shield him from criminal prosecution for so-called official acts. much of the oral
6:05 am
argument centered around what constitutes as official versus a private act taken while in office. >> you don't think he's in a special a peculiarly precarious position? >> trump posting late yesterday. it is a big decision, a decision which can affect the success or failure of our country for decades to come. meanwhile, the biden campaign working on damage control after the president's widely panned debate performance last week, some top democrats questioning whether biden should be replaced as the party's nominee. >> there are very honest and serious and rigorous conversations taking place at every level. the philadelphia inquirer says. >> it's trump who should withdraw, citing more than 30 lies told on the debate stage. and biden, with his record, should remain but proved that he's up to the job. biden's campaign insisting the president will continue to seek reelection, arguing that biden dropping out would lead to weeks of chaos. this says democratic
6:06 am
heavy hitters like former presidents obama and clinton, and rising stars like governors gavin newsom and wes moore, along with many congressional democrats, are rallying to fight inside. and biden's campaign says a new candidate right now would only leave them in the weakest possible position against trump. live here in washington. i'm ed wynn, abc seven news. >> thank you. m this ruling will be released shortly after 7 a.m. today. abc news will have coverage of that decision as soon as it happens. and you can see it live wherever you watch abc seven news. if you have the abc seven news app on your phone, we'll send you an alert as soon as the coverage begins. >> new developments on the war in gaza. the u.s. is presenting new language for a proposed ceasefire deal between israel and hamas federal officials say they're urging egypt and qatar leaders to help get hamas back on board with negotiations. the new language is in response to hamas requesting numerous amendments to a previous proposal. the u.s. is pushing
6:07 am
for a three phase deal that would include hamas releasing the remaining 120 israeli hostages in return for a permanent cease fire. >> now, back to the heat and the fire danger as we start a holiday week. p-g-and-e's warning power shutoffs are likely as soon as tomorrow in the north bay because of the increasing fire risk, the east bay will see some of the hottest temperatures, and that's where we find abc seven news reporter lena howland live in dublin with a check of how it's feeling out there now. lena >> kumasi. things are pretty calm out here right now. a much different story than what fire officials are expecting over the next few days, with the wind being the big wildcard. santa rosa fire told us that fire season traditionally hits california a bit later in the year, but with this year's rain came a lot of growth and that vegetation has quickly dried out. plus, this week we are expecting a heat wave with temperatures hitting the triple digits all combined. a real threat of wildfire across northern california. p-g-and-e's warning that these conditions
6:08 am
could prompt public safety power shutoffs, which are planned outages that help prevent wildfires. those are expected to start as early as tomorrow, mostly for small areas in solano and napa counties. >> we're watching really closely for tuesday. it's what the wind speeds are going to be in these areas that have really dry conditions. >> typically, we see a lot of foggy mornings in may and the no sky july, you know, the june gloom. and we really haven't seen a lot of those foggier heavier, moisture wheat mornings, what we are seeing right now is just a lot of really dry back to back weeks. >> with these dry conditions, fire officials are also warning that illegal fireworks and even the safe and sane fireworks pose huge risks. this week. and remember, because of fire danger, those safe and sane fireworks are only being sold in dublin, newark and union city.
6:09 am
here in alameda county. live in dublin lena howland, abc seven news lena. >> thank you. now we take a live look at the golden gate bridge starting this morning. it's going to cost you a little more to cross it. fares increase by $0.50. while you were sleeping. fastrak users will now pay 925 if you have a pay as you go account, that's 950 and fares will continue to go up every year for the next four years. because the golden gate bridge is facing a1a $220 million budget deficit. and if you think, oh, i'll avoid it by going on the ferry or bus, you really won't because golden gate transit or golden gate ferry will also see fares going up this morning. they'll increase by a quarter like the bridge. these are going to go up every year until 2028. >> if you've been thinking that your morning commute feels a bit longer and longer, you're right. >> in a way. new data from analytics company inrix shows congestion is trending worse every year. in 2023, drivers in san francisco lost 45 hours in traffic, which is five hours
6:10 am
more than the year before. san francisco scored 13th worst in the u.s. when it came to traffic delays. but there are some positive things to note. inrix says traffic is still 6% lower than it was in 2019, before the pandemic drew. >> 609 this morning, kumasi is all about warm temperatures today, and then we have the increased risk of fire danger tonight with hotter temperatures tomorrow. so looking at daytime highs, it is going to feel warm this afternoon. 80 for a high in oakland, 88 in san jose into the 70s across the city 99 though in santa rosa, concord fairfield livermore at 97. the coast still remains relatively comfortable. half moon bay coming in at 62 degrees. now here's the red flag warning. this begins tonight. it's for the north bay mountains, the east bay hills, because a northerly wind will develop in the overnight hours, gusting about 25mph. and it will drop humidity levels down to about 10. so let's look at our winds. this afternoon. we have those breezy conditions. it's late tonight. first thing tomorrow morning. here's tuesday, 5 a.m. we're watching
6:11 am
that northerly wind affecting the north bay mountains, the east bay hills. and that is what is going to bring the low humidity levels and the increased risk of fire danger. and we will repeat that again early wednesday morning. it's not only the heat or the fire. we're talking about the risk. it's also some dangerously hot temperatures that will move in here starting tomorrow. in this heat wave is going to last at least five days into the start of the weekend. excessive heat warnings mean temperatures well above 100 degrees around the bay shoreline. a heat advisory means we're going into the 90s. we'll take a closer look at those daytime highs coming up in just a few minutes. >> kumasi thank you, drew. theme park merger. the two companies expected to close a deal today, and what it means for three bay area theme parks spending cuts. newsom signing the budget to support stability across the state. and san francisco's pride parade. what grand marshal billy porter had to say about being ♪ do what you want ♪

6:41 am
elevation shaded in red because a northerly wind develops and that will bring in some very dry air, humidity levels down to about 10% at times. combine that with warm overnight lows. it is a recipe to have some increased fire danger. so here's a look at the winds early tomorrow morning. this is 5 a.m. you see that wind direction out of the north dragging in those low humidity levels. so we'll keep our eyes on the wind overnight tonight for you and keep you updated. if anything develops along with the fire danger tomorrow, our heat danger increases. starting tuesday we have heat advisories and excessive heat warnings. in effect, we'll look at the hot

the most important ingredient is you.
6:44 am
to issue a blockbuster decision on whether former president trump can be prosecuted for his efforts to stay in office. >> trump is claiming presidential immunity, protects him from prosecution on charges that he tried to overturn the 2020 election. his conspiracy trial is on hold until this decision is made. >> joining us now, doctor nolan higdon. he's a professor of history, media studies and education at cal state east bay. good morning to you. good morning. so my first question to you is what do you think is the most likely outcome this morning? >> yeah, i think i agree with a lot of the legal scholars that that trump won't get total immunity, but i imagine the court will give us something, perhaps like an immunity test
6:45 am
some way to determine what is official duties and what is non-official duties. and the court has done this before. a lot of the audience may have heard have the so-called free speech tests, that we have free speech, unless it presents a clear and present danger. that's a test. the supreme court came up with. so i imagine we'll see something like that in terms of immunity for the president. >> so that would mean that this kicks it back down right to another court to decide whether or not these particular charges are upheld. this test that you're talking about. and this means that just means more time. >> exactly. and i think, you know, a lot of us are aware that there's an important election here, the presidential election coming up in november. even if the court does, let's say, rule today that special counsel jack smith can go forward with his conspiracy case against trump. it's likely that case won't even begin until around september. so the idea that we'll get a verdict before the election is pretty unlikely. >> are there critical things
6:46 am
that you think the justices will be looking at as they make this decision? >> you know, it was really tough to read the tea leaves from what we heard when they were hearing the case back in april, in terms of how the justices feel, but there was clearly some interest in defining this. how far immunity goes for a president, and particularly brett kavanaugh was very interested in this, difference between what constitutes presidential official actions and what constitutes actions outside of the presidency. while you're serving as president. so, again, i think we'll get some clarity around that point, because the justices seem very interested in that. >> i want to get back to the timing for just a second, because the supreme court has done this before. they have hurried up. they've looked at a at a at a timetable and said, because this is so important to the nation, we need to make a decision quickly. they did it in you know, bush versus gore in 2000. in this case, they apparently decided that this wasn't of a pressing need, that they needed to decide this fast
6:47 am
enough in order to make sure that this all happened before the election. and i'm wondering about how that is going to play. >> you know, i imagine there's going to be a lot of interest in figuring that out because just as you pointed out, it is quite odd that we have this pressing timeline with an election and this critical constitution question. and the supreme court essentially left it for the last part of the session. you know, particularly liberals, i'm sure are none too happy that they don't have the majority on the court. but now the court's able to extend this and perhaps, perhaps protect donald trump from getting a verdict before elected if he is indeed elected, so i think, yeah, there's going to be a lot of interest in figuring out what exactly happened here. why was there such a lag? >> we heard justice gorsuch say at the april oral arguments that we are writing a rule for the ages. can you talk about the significance of this decision? >> yeah, this is a this is a huge, huge question. i mean, if you can give a president effectively immunity for their entire time in office, this sets
6:48 am
up all sorts of bad precedents for what presidents can get away with. but the reverse is if you allow a president to be prosecuted for anything and whether it's in the purview of the presidency or not, there is a concern this could lead to more political prosecution. so i think the supreme court is going to make a decision that's largely going to affect presidents and their legal standing in the future. >> and i'm wondering about the possibility that this ends up in this scenario. and of course, this is all hypothetical, depending on what happens in the next few minutes and what happens with the election. but should donald trump be elected again, and should he not? should the court open up the possibility that some of these charges would go away, and maybe some of them would stay, regardless of what happens in court? eventually, if he becomes president, he could essentially say to the department of justice, could he not? let's forget about all this. >> yes. if donald trump uh- is inaugurated and becomes president again, he will be in
6:49 am
charge of the justice department, and he will be in a unique position to ensure the justice department stops, said prosecution. if it indeed goes through, and i again, imagine that's going to open up all sorts of constitutional questions about how we feel about that, as a democracy. >> doctor hagan, thank you so much. we appreciate you joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> and again, the ruling will be released shortly after 7 a.m. today. abc news will have coverage of the decision as soon as it happens. you can see it live wherever you watch abc seven news. if you have the abc seven news app on your phone, we'll send you an alert as soon as abc's coverage begins. >> new this morning, boeing has agreed to purchase spirit aerosystems, its longtime supplier and manufacturer, for more than $4 billion, in hopes of repairing its safety reputation. it's coming as attorneys for the families of the people killed in boeing 737 max crashes say a plea deal is on the table and they're not happy with it. boeing is charged with conspiracy to defraud the u.s, accused of misleading the faa during evaluations of the
6:50 am
737 max, nearly 350 people died in two crashes involving those planes in 2018 and 2019. now, attorneys for the victims families say the plea deal isn't enough. >> on. i'll go on and take this now. they want the doj to take the company to trial and to impose fines upwards of $20 billion top california democrats say they will ask voters to approve a plan cracking down on retail theft. the plan would challenge an initiative backed by a coalition of business groups. that's already on the november ballot. lawmakers argue the current proposal would disproportionately incarcerate low income people and those with substance abuse issues, rather than target ringleaders who hire large groups of people to steal goods for resale online, they plan to place their own measure on the ballot. they'll vote to advance the plan and deliver it to governor newsom for his signature before the deadline, which is wednesday. >> new at six san francisco has reportedly become the first city to miss its housing goals,
6:51 am
according to the chronicle. that means the city will become the first in the state subject to sb 423, which was passed last fall. so this law basically streamlines the process to get plans and permits approved when a city is behind on reaching their state mandated housing element, most housing projects won't require plant, won't require planning commission approval, and the board of supervisors will not be able to appeal them. now. many will be able to avoid lengthy environmental reviews. all of this is part of governor newsom's goal to build 2.5 million homes by 2031. >> now it's your morning money report. customers of a dublin based bank can't access their banking apps after a cyber security incident. several viewers have reached out to our newsroom patelco credit union says it's working to restore service from saturday's problem. they sent us a statement that says, in part, we proactively shut down some of our day to day banking systems so we can remediate the issue and contain the impact. the credit union says that includes online banking, its mobile app and its call center. it's unclear when
