the hottest day of this entire heat wave in some spots. so many days of extreme heat takes a toll on the body. the san francisco chronicle is reporting at least 28 people have gone to local hospitals because of the temperatures, plus the threat of wildfire is still hanging over the bay area through tonight. we have team coverage tracking the heat wave and the wildfire risk. abc seven news weather anchor spencer christian leads us off. spencer. >> okay, dion, this heat wave is certainly unrelenting. and right now, as we take a look at current temperature readings, you can see just how hot this afternoon is. it was actually hotter a few minutes ago. you see now it's 114 at ukiah. it was 116 there a few minutes ago. and as we're going in the air, saw some locations like cloverdale and livermore, danville, fairfield, places that were up to about 110 dropping down to 106, 108. but obviously still uh- dangerously hot in all of these locations, inland and even around the bay shoreline. it's near 90 degrees in quite a

few locations, so you really do have to go all the way to the coast to find true cooling. so our heat alerts, our excessive heat warning is still in effect for the bay area until 11:00 11 p.m. that is next wednesday. our red flag warning for high fire danger is set to be to expire tonight at 9 p.m, but there's a possibility that could be extended as well. anyhow, high high fire concerns remain with us, even if this red flag warning expires, you can see that the wind is relatively light in most locations except close to the coast. and of course, that's where the coolest conditions are. relative humidity remains dangerously low everywhere around the bay area except locations right along the coastline. and as we look at the afternoon highs coming our way on monday, you can see a little bit of a easing of the heat on monday and tuesday, but wednesday and thursday we expect temperatures to bounce right back up to and above 100 degrees. i'll have the full forecast a little bit later dion. all right.

>> we continue to brace ourselves spencer. thank you. now to the north bay where extreme heat is keeping fire danger high. many people are seeking shade and just trying to cope. abc seven news reporter cornell bernard is live for us at the marin county fair, where the heat is on. again, i feel like a broken record. cornell >> yeah, you got it, dion. another day of extreme heat across the bay area. folks here at the marin county fair. not really letting it spoil the fun. they are staying hydrated, even lining up for hawaiian shave ice here. meantime, firefighters across the region are on high alert for red flag fire danger. >> we're still all hands on deck. >> cal fire crews jumping on this wildfire saturday north of geyserville in sonoma county. the so-called pocket fire burned 12 acres before it was contained. >> red flag conditions and extreme heat are keeping firefighters busy across the north bay and the state. on tuesday, the toll fire in napa county was stopped at 40 acres after a quick attack from the

air and on the ground. >> so we're being really aggressive to try to get on these new fires quickly, considering that we've had a lot of resources moving around to some of the bigger fires across the state, a cool dip, the perfect antidote to our long heat wave hamilton pool and votto is a popular spot this weekend. >> if you need relief. and who doesn't? >> temperature is going to be like 90 degrees, so what better way to spend, you know, a sunny day than in the pool with toddlers? yeah. >> how's the water feel? >> it feels amazing. little jax excited for anything bigger than a bathtub. >> so he's learning to swim out here and we're, you know, feeling like we're part of the community trying to beat the heat together. so it feels very summery. >> the marin county fair is a celebration of summer in the north bay, where 80 degrees is usually considered toasty. >> it's been really hot, for sure. >> fair ceo gabriella calicchio says the fair is pivoting to keep guests cool. there are six hydration stations where you can

fill up for free. >> i think the hydration stations are great. i'm glad that they have them and that we can bring our bottles in to fill them up, as opposed to like paying for water. so i think this is fantastic. nice and cool. >> which is exactly what it was. >> exhibit halls are doubling as cooling centers with sweet ac today. >> i'm inside here. this feels really good. >> we saw lots of umbrellas and parasols on the move and shade tents where you can catch a nap or listen to music. we have water features all over the fairgrounds and in the exhibit hall, which i'm told just make people feel cool. now, cal fire says it's been a very busy fire season so far. about 3000 fires have burned, 140,000 acres across the state of california. this time last year, 2000 fires burned only 7800 acres. meantime, the marin county fair continues through tomorrow. where? yep, it is expected to be

hot again. live in san rafael, cornell. bernard. abc seven news. >> got to get some of that hawaiian shave ice. all right, cornell, thank you. we are tracking one new wildfire just starting up in the sierra foothills. take a look. it's burning on the eastern edge of placerville, south of highway 50. time lapse video shows a ton of smoke, but there are aircraft already making drops. first responders just ordered new evacuations in the last 20 minutes, that fire has burned 20 acres. so far. vallejo police say an incident that started as an attempted traffic stop ended with a deadly crash overnight. officers tried to pull over a car at about 1 a.m. near sonoma boulevard, and lemon street, but they say the driver sped away, leading to a brief chase. the pursuit ended when the car collided with another vehicle a few blocks away. one person in the suspect vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene. the others in the car were all taken to a nearby hospital. members of an oakland church are showing a commitment to service

just days after being burglarized. twice in 24. i should say 48 hours. volunteers showed up for a grocery giveaway at the east bay church of religious science last saturday and sunday, thieves broke into that church. they damaged doors and a security gate, then took off with the church offerings, audio and video equipment, along with several computers. church members say they'll rebuild. >> you know, from the beginning our thing was forgive. and for john. so we had prayer for the people who broke in and will continue to do that. and we just kept going. we have our community service event today. last week we were doing a celebration of queer youth in our community. tomorrow we'll be continuing that work. >> what an incredible attitude! insurance will help cover their losses, but church officials say there's still about $20,000 short. they've since launched a gofundme campaign to help bridge that gap. moving now to your voice and your vote, and the response to president biden's

first television interview since his rocky debate. governor gavin newsom hit the campaign trail for biden for the third day in a row, this time in pennsylvania, five democratic lawmakers have now publicly called for biden to step down from the ticket. newsom told the crowd at today's event that the vast majority of democrats are still backing biden, and that the president made that point in his interview with abc news anchor george stephanopoulos. biden reiterated that he would not drop out of the race, and that he is mentally fit for another term. >> do you have the mental and physical capacity to do it for another four years? >> i believe so i wouldn't be running if i didn't think i did. look i'm running again because i think i understand best what has to be done to take this nation to a completely new, new level. >> biden took part in a campaign meeting today and is set to head to philadelphia tomorrow. developing now san francisco police are out in full force by

is the harlem of the west. reporter. usually brings out about 50,000 attendees. it runs again tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and takes place on five blocks of fillmore between jackson and eddie streets. i'm imagining the heat coming up from the sidewalk. >> yes, a nice looking sky out there, but the heat is pretty impressive. impressive oppressive. >> well. that too. impressive. >> impressive as well. >> and it raises concerns about health and fire danger. so let's take a look at what's happening. here's our satellite radar composite image of the marine layer. continues to try to form, but it keeps getting compressed by the ridge of high pressure over us. and of course, we've got some gentle winds at the coastline trying to help, you know, build that marine layer. but not much is happening there. so we've got breezy conditions right now, but no extraordinary wind gusts. and you may have noticed it's a bit warmer today than it was yesterday,

especially in our inland areas where it's about 3 to 5 degrees warmer than at this time yesterday. so let's take a closer look from mount tam. looking down onto the bay under sunny skies, 68 degrees here in san francisco right now, oakland stands at 76. we have mid 80s at hayward and redwood city, 93 at san jose and 63 at half moon bay. blue sky over the golden gate. there was some fog there earlier this afternoon, but it has burned away. it's 84 petaluma right now. 87 napa, santa rosa 95. and it's 105 at concord, 106 at livermore and 108 at fairfield. so you can see it is sizzling inland. these are our forecast headlines. heat wave continues into next week, especially in our inland areas. red flag warning for high fire danger is in effect through tonight, although that could be extended. it is cooler at the coast because of a mix of light, fog and sun this weekend. so scurry to the coast or hurry to the coast if you're looking for some relief. the excessive heat warning for the bay area remains in effect until 11 p.m. next wednesday, and once again, heat like this increases the risk of heat related illness. so bear

that in mind, please. red flag warning for high fire danger in effect until 9:00 tonight. for the hills and mountains of the bay area. and let's hope that expires. and we can have less concern about fire than we have right now. so during the overnight hours, we'll see the marine layer. it will be a little shallow, a little thin, but it'll push onshore and push locally across the bay. but by about 10:00 tomorrow morning or so it'll burn away. overnight lows will be generally in the low to mid 60s for much of the bay area, which is uncomfortably warm for overnight temperatures and mid to 50s low to mid 50s for locations near the coast and up in parts of the north bay. now let's take a look at these high temperatures for tomorrow. 65 at half moon bay, 72 here in san francisco, around the bay shoreline. apart from oakland, which will top out at about 80 degrees, many locations will be in the upper 80s to near 90. inland areas tomorrow, look for a 103 at livermore, 101 at antioch down in the south bay, 101 at morgan hill, north bay. highs well 99 over at fairfield, almost 100 and over in the other

parts of the north bay. 91 at napa 98, santa rosa 108 at lakeport 110 at ukiah. so you can see it's still going to be hot tomorrow, although the heat will ease just a little bit. so let me back away and give you a better look at the accuweather seven day forecast. so on monday we'll see gradual cooling beginning inland. highs will be mainly in the upper 90s down to mid 90s on tuesday. but then look at wednesday the heat starts to return and we'll see inland. highs around 100 degrees on wednesday about 102 on thursday, 100 on friday. so this this heat is truly unrelenting. not until next saturday does it look like we might see a downward trend in these temperatures, but it's going to be just uncomfortably and dangerously hot for at least another week. >> yeah, and chris was just saying palm springs is even hotter. >> 124 record there in the desert yesterday coming up in sports steph curry begins his quest for the gold. while the dubs tip off their summer porch
