visibility up in santa rosa three quarters of a mile. also half moon bay. and this has been sneaking up the marin county coast, but at the same time, red flag warning until 9:00 tonight. winds could gust as high as 25 miles an hour, and our heat warnings, excessive heat warning inland and the advisory around the bay shore. beautiful view of mount tam right now, but current numbers? well, they're quite mild in spots with mid 60s in san jose, 60 in oakland, 55 half moon bay and from our sutro tower camera we have a 554 sunrise, 56 in santa rosa with that fog. 62 in concord, upper elevations. look how hot on top of a near mount tam 94 degrees mount diablo 91. so we're concerned with the extra dry conditions, the heat that we're going to see again today, any wind at all. by noontime, we're in the 90s inland. and look at that 105 by the delta. today we'll talk about some minor cooling as we get into sunday gloria. >> all right lisa, thank you so much. your voice, your votes. president joe biden remains defiant, rejecting calls for him

be able to meet that. i think as some of senior economist senior foreign policy specialists say, if i stop now, i can go down in history as a pretty successful president. no one thought i could get done what we got done. >> but are you being with honest with yourself as well about your ability to defeat donald trump right now? >> yes, yes, yes, yes. >> the president rejecting the idea of taking a cognitive test. >> would you be willing to undergo an independent medical evaluation that included neurological and cognitive cognitive tests and release the results to the american people? >> look, i have a cognitive test every single day. every day i have that test. everything i do, you know, not only am i campaigning, but i'm running the world. and that's not how it sounds like hyperbole. but we are the essential nation in the world. >> and why he's determined to stay in the race despite some

they're going the opposite direction in polling. >> not everyone is as skeptical as quigley, though. i caught up with former san francisco mayor willie brown and showed him clips from the interview to get his reaction. >> based on what you just showed me, i see nothing wrong with any of his answers or his responses, brown says. >> while he thinks the president is capable of doing the job, the decision to stay in the race is not an easy one. over the past week, speculation has grown over who might replace biden if he were to drop out two of the most mentioned names being california governor gavin newsom and vice president kamala harris, both of whom brown has mentored and knows personally. >> either of them, in my opinion, would be capable of arousing the interest from democrats who would then make up the vote that would defeat trump if the president were to pull out of the race, whoever replaces him would still have their own set of challenges, according to experts. >> i'm not so sure it's that

easy, really. i think in the short run, yeah, there are going to be advantages to a fresh face and a media blitz around some new candidate. but remember, this is still a significantly lengthy race. >> lanhee chen is a political advisor and fellow at stanford's hoover institution. he says while biden has vowed to stay in the race, his decision may ultimately be influenced by high profile democratic donors. several of whom have announced they've paused financial contributions in recent days. >> without the resources to run a competitive campaign, it's going to be very difficult for the president and for democrats. down ticket tim johns, abc seven news and multiple sources tell abc news that house minority leader hakeem jeffries has planned a virtual meeting with other top democrats tomorrow. >> president biden is expected to be the focus of that meeting, and abc news also offered former president trump a one on one interview, but he declined. jason miller, who's a senior adviser to the trump campaign, had this response to biden's events. in a newsmax interview,

he said in part, we saw the speech earlier. those clips are bad. and now these additional clips from abc are even worse. i don't understand what joe biden's team is doing. clearly, his weakness is speaking and you can see the full interview with joe biden again tomorrow at 8 a.m. on this week with george stephanopoulos. portions will also be airing on good morning america starting this morning in the south bay. the san jose fire department says it was inundated with hundreds of calls on the 4th of july. among them multiple fires near lake cunningham, which held the city sanctioned fireworks show. abc7 south bay news reporter lauren martinez spoke to a longtime advocate who works to stop illegal fireworks. she says it is time for a change >> 4th of july celebrations turned fiery across san jose, near the city's sanctioned show at lake cunningham. fires did break out on friday. you could

totally in the clouds if you're headed to the shoreline. so we have really a mix in that range. once again from 30 to 40 degrees. so we're looking at that 550 for sunrise. and then once that sun comes up, we're into day five of our heat wave. there's a look at almost cloud free conditions. but from san mateo through mount tam. and you can see from our sutro tower camera just looking at the peak there of salesforce out in the distance, it is 57 downtown, 60 in oakland, 61 in hayward and redwood city, where it was 96 yesterday, 64 in san jose, it was 94, in the south bay. and 55 right now half moon bay. so santa clara, the south bay baking the past couple of days that continues right on through the weekend into next week. it's 56 in santa rosa, 54 petaluma. look at the 60s from concord to livermore and fairfield. so certainly not cooling off when we've got the upper elevations in the 80s and 90s. and if you live above 8900ft, you know what

i mean? it's been very warm in the upper elevations and dry, and it continues looking at the headlines. then the heat wave into next week, the red flag warning through 9:00 tonight for the interior mountains of the north bay, the east bay valleys, the santa cruz mountains. and it will be pretty comfortable at the coast today with a mix of clouds and sun. there's a look at santa cruz. it's 57. it was pretty dark out there, but we're looking at 80s today, so a warm day there while we're in the 60s and 70s closer to ocean beach and stinson with partly cloudy skies. so a bit of a breeze today. but look what happens tomorrow. so we get into that 15 to 20 mile an hour range. it's not going to help you in our inland valleys, but this is the source of our cooling, the onshore flow as we get into sunday. and that delta breeze picks up. so we're going to knock off at least five degrees in our inland valleys tomorrow. today though, it's going to be sweltering into tuesday. notice 80s and 90s. we get bit of relief wednesday a bump up again. we're back to the upper

seconds to triple digits. so this tells you that we're not going to get a sharp cool down really anytime into our inland valleys. the temperatures are going to fluctuate a bit, but today will be the hottest day we're going to see in quite some time in our inland valleys. so thankfully, behind this we will be turning a corner. 105 in concord, 106 in livermore, morgan hill 105 81 in oakland today, but pleasant san francisco 72. look at the coast 66. half moon bay 95. san rafael and the accuweather seven day forecast. we've got a bit of cooling into your sunday and then more widespread low to mid 90s monday, tuesday or wednesday. a slightly warmer there and notice the rest of the week still warm. but whether we can deal with after today's extreme heat, gloria

state in the nation to pass a paid family leave policy, but a dozen other states, including washington, d.c, have implemented their own paid family leave policies. most of these policies are somewhere between six and 16 weeks in duration, and that paid leave is significantly capped for example, in california, new mothers receive approximately 60% of their pay for eight weeks, forcing many parents back to the workforce too soon. >> millie clinic is redesigning maternity care from the ground up in response to the many challenges new mothers face. >> a new founded the millie clinic with her midwife turned business partner talia borgo. >> and there's a certain income level as well, too, is where it actually doesn't even make sense to go back to work for some people, where it's like paying for child care is actually going to be more expensive than having my income again. >> navigating return to work and childcare are just two of the

topics taken on in weekly postpartum groups organized by millie midwives. >> the answer ultimately has to be a policy shift at the government level, >> the vast majority across all states, both democrats and republicans, are supportive of paid parental leave policies. and so i think the american public is kind of there. >> now. it's up to lawmakers to finally take action. >> that was julian glover reporting. the abc owned television stations racing culture and data teams teamed up on a new series. it's called facing the facts. it's a compilation of data driven stories about topics that impact our communities, from the economy to the environment. and the most recent episodes focus on maternal health. you can watch facing the facts, streaming now on our websitete, abc seven news.com, and also on the abc seven news app. such an important topic. lisa, let's get a check of that forecast right now because it has been hot out here. yeah. as in the distance there you can see salesforce which is almost 1000ft.
