some of the hottest we've seen in nearly two years, you have to go back to september of 2022 to find heat this high around the bay shoreline heat advisories in effect, it's going to be hot sunshine temperatures in the 90s. and then along the coast. the immediate coastline is immune from the intense heat. this is where a lot of folks are going to be. our next couple of days, upper 60s to the lower 70s with full sunshine. today let's check in with frances. see, the drive times are going all right. >> we're tracking this five car crash as you make your way towards sunol. it's on westbound 84 vallecitos road near little valley. tow truck seemed to be stuck in the backup where it is crawling at around five miles per hour. so it's been out there for a bit. and also better news heading to the oakland maze and earlier accident has been cleared. 580 at 80. we have live camera shot for you. you can see the westbound 80 stretch on the right hand side moving towards the bay bridge. so things are now flowing pretty well as you make your way to the bay bridge toll plaza, though traffic is backed up to the 880 overcrossing slow to the metering lights, which were

exhaustion can come on quickly in weather like this. symptoms include heavy sweating, cold, pale and clammy skin, a fast but weak pulse, nausea or vomiting, cramps or headaches, and dizziness. it can be treated by getting to a cool place, a loose end, clothing take a cool bath, sip water and if your symptoms last longer than one hour, be sure to get medical help when it comes to heat stroke, the warning signs get much more serious. >> people will actually get very confused. they might start vomiting and they might paradoxically go from looking sort of red and flush to looking cool and clammy and even pale and that's when, as a physician, i'm really concerned that they are entering a very dangerous stage of heat stroke. >> doctors recommend drinking plenty of water, find shade or stay inside. they say you can even prepare your home by closing all windows and doors and shutting blinds. you can do that right now, and this will

help keep the heat out and keep the cool air in. live in dublin lena howland abc seven news. >> thank you lena. firefighters are on alert this week with the combination of the hot weather we're seeing and of course, the 4th of july holiday, in addition to the usual tools, the alameda county fire department is boosting its staffing and rolling out new plans, including a newly formed hand crew and volunteers on call. >> well, one of the uh- best assets and a fighting chance. we have is a bulldozer able to eliminate fuels and put a perimeter in. alameda county fire department has three dozers staffing two of them, and will be up staffing for this red flag warning event. and through the 4th of july, safe and sane fireworks are allowed in newark, union city and dublin. >> it's up to the individual to use them responsibly where they're permitted. parents will be held liable for any damage children cause. p-g-and-e's warned about the possibility of limited power shutoffs due to fire risk earlier this week and overnight. >> they started. so here is the

outage map where you see purple triangles. that's the areas where the power is turned off. you can see they are in small areas of napa, sonoma and solano counties. pg and e does this to reduce the risk of their equipment starting a fire. the heat could also stress transformers pg and e is installing portable transformers in areas with the most intense heat, and replacing dozens more that can handle higher loads. >> when we have this 24 hour extreme heat, our equipment, specifically our transformers, don't have an opportunity to cool down and that can create stress in our equipment, which can lead to heat related power outages. >> cal iso, which monitors the state's power grid, says power supplies are adequate for now, but it's keeping an eye on that grid for potential impacts from a timeline of temperatures to power outage warnings, we have put all of this week's weather stories in one place. >> abc seven news.com/weather. bookmark it now so you can find it easily. all of the updated

abuse the redefined powers granted to his position. he is asking voters if they believe trump will do the same if reelected. >> the american people must decide they want to entrust the president once again the presidency to donald trump. now knowing he'll be even more emboldened to do whatever he pleases, whenever he wants to do it. >> trump is also looking to overturn his recent hush money conviction in new york. his attorneys are asking the judge to allow them to challenge the verdict. if that's allowed, it would delay trump's sentencing, which is set for next week. >> many legal experts are weighing in on what that supreme court ruling means going forward. you see, law sf professor rory little joined us yesterday and said that ruling appears to conflict with the constitution. >> you know, the framers of the constitution pretty much recognized that there would be criminal prosecution of presidents, uh- presidents. they said, in fact, in the impeachment clause, even if you're impeached, you could still be prosecuted criminally,

which shows that they anticipated it. so it's a pretty disturbing, ruling. historically, it is the law and the lower court will have to follow it, and of course, it means there will be no trial, prior to the election in november. >> the ruling includes standards for what qualifies as official action by a president. little says those standards are so broad they make just about everything official action. >> more democrats are voicing concerns about president biden's future as the party's nominee after his debate performance last week. some want reassurances that the biden campaign is being forthcoming about his mental acuity. >> all the debate performance, was rough. it was a very bad night for the president, but he is still the candidate, only he can make decisions about his future candidacy. >> the campaign is trying to shut down any talk of the
