>> extreme heat and increased fire danger. we're taking a live

look now from mount tam. this morning. lisa has a look at the warnings and when we can expect a cooldown. plus, the san francisco hill bomb taking a different route this time around. how skaters worked around closures put in place by police, and a commitment to kindness. the rebuilding effort following multiple church burglaries in the east bay. good morning everybody. it's sunday, july seventh. let's get right to the weather. lisa is tracking the very latest with all this heat. good morning. >> good morning. yeah, we have some good news. although we still are looking at some hot temperatures inland. and we have that excessive heat warning and the heat advisory through wednesday. there's low clouds and fog at the coast. and finally that sea breeze will make an impact inland. so there the advisories, they stay with us till wednesday morning. temperatures range from the 50s, mid 50s. half moon bay 60, in hayward, a look at the exploratorium camera. there are clouds there with low 60s in concord, 67 in livermore and visibility from three quarters of a mile. santa rosa to half

moon bay. so as we go through the morning hours, our noontime temperatures will be in the low to mid 90s instead of the triple digits. so we're getting a break. come trimming back about five degrees from our inland highs. yesterday we were into the 108 region. but as for today, bayside and coast comfortable. and we'll talk about more cooling getting underway to start the workweek in a few minutes. stephanie >> all right, lisa, thank you. in the north bay, the extreme heat is keeping the risk of a wildfire high. many folks are simply looking for shade and trying to cope with yet another day of triple digit temperature. here's abc seven news reporter cornell bernard. >> 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 containe. 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. really 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 in san rafael. >> cornell, bernard, abc seven news. >> we want everyone to stay safe as this heat persists across the bay area, we have a list of local cooling centers that offer resources to help you stay cool. you can find one near you. just head to our website, abc7 news.com. the temperatures make work difficult for crews battling multiple fires. the sonoma county courthouse in

santa rosa caught on fire. thankfully, the building was vacant at the time. it's currently under construction. investigators say smoke and fire could be seen from the sixth floor and the roof. >> the other challenge we had today was the heat itself. obviously it's very hot out uh- having an incident like this really highlights the importance of not only firefighters hydrating, but the general public highlighting hydrating as well. >> the cause of the fire remains under investigation, but we're told it started in a debris bin on the roof of that building. a fast moving wildfire started near placerville in the el dorado hills yesterday afternoon and is currently threatening structures. the pay fire has burned about 77 acres and is currently 5% contained. evacuation orders are in place near the placerville airport. access to that airport is cut off and there are some road closures. and to the latest on the french fire in mariposa county, near yosemite national park. crews are battling flames

for a fourth day now. containment at 35% this morning, more than 900 acres have burned, but that number hasn't increased in the last 48 hours. several evacuation orders were reduced to warnings and highway 140 is fully back open for. firefighters have been injured and santa barbara county, the lake fire has scorched more than 12,000 acres. it started friday afternoon in the los padres national forest, and evacuation orders are in place for the surrounding areas as excessive heat warnings are still in effect in that part of the region. the cause is under investigation. now you can see wildfires across california at a glance with our abc seven news wildfire tracker. it updates in real time and you can find it over on our website, abc seven news.com/fire map in san francisco. now. police shut down dolores street to stop skaters from doing a so-called hill bomb

again, but skaters managed to work around the closures. this comes after they clashed with police last year, leading to dozens of arrests. abc seven news reporter ryan curry has the reaction. >> there are police everywhere around dolores park. the street is shut down. no one is allowed on it. >> we came here to skate and have fun, but the cops don't want to have to want to have fun. every year, skaters go down to laura street at high speeds. >> they call it a hill bomb. but sfpd doesn't want that bomb to go off. police have set up these barricades for several blocks on dolores. and look, they're even zip tied together. if you take a look down the sidewalk, you can see they're zigzagging these barricades all the way down. they're making it very clear they don't want anyone skateboarding down this hill. skaters had plans to go down this year, but those plans got altered. last year. police arrested 100 people after skaters threw things at officers and vandalized a muni train. the police chief this week said he wasn't going to tolerate any more violence. the skaters think there should be a way to work

with the city to safely hold the event. >> the city was not without fair warning about this event. i was in contact with them a year ago, trying to engage about how to make this safer, even in the absence of an official organizer, and they failed to plan to do anything about this. >> however, residents living near the park are quite happy to see the street closed. >> it's public safety. it's not about kids not having fun, so we feel strongly glad to see their presence out here today. >> but although one street was closed, that didn't stop the hill bomb. >> skaters flew down church street while both police and a large group of people stood by and watched mia lofton was one of the skaters going down the hill. >> it was like four skaters. they all say church street, and everybody heard them. they all just came over here. i guess the cops don't care about this one as much as the dolores one. >> police blocked off church street and let the skaters go down the hill. the skaters who set this up hope to send a

message to the city. >> it feels like this is what skateboarding is. this is what it's supposed to be. the community together and skating. >> we reached out to sfpd, asking them why they didn't intervene, and we're waiting to hear back in san francisco. ryan curry, abc seven news. >> changes are coming for bikers in the bay. the marin independent journal reports the bicycle lane on the richmond-san rafael bridge is being removed, but only on prime commute days. the plan will likely take effect this fall, and it would eliminate the multi-purpose lane on the upper deck mondays through thursdays. and that will free up the use of the shoulder for emergencies, which prevent traffic blockages. pedestrians and cyclists can use it on the weekends, though, and plans are still in the works for a possible bike shuttle. as we head to break, let's check in with lisa. good morning. >> good morning. we certainly have a good deal of fog once again at the coast. it's dense in spots and today we're going to feel the effects of the sea breeze. a little further across the bay. so that means cooling and an end to temperatures above

100. so probably just shy of that today. my full accuweather seven day forecast is next. >> lisa thank you. also ahead, the telco's online services still on pause. what its customers should know about late fees following a ransomware attack. and today is the last day of the alameda county fair. people we spoke to say they're not letting the heat stop the fun. we'll

are recovering after being rescued from a cliff in daly city. north county fire authority crews responded to calls about people who were stranded around 1 p.m. yesterday. firefighters found them near westline drive, just south of mussel rock park. they say the group was safely removed from the cliff about two hours later. the agency reminds people to stay on the main trails when

walking along the cliffs in that area. members of an oakland church are showing a commitment to service after it was burglarized twice in just the past 48 hours. volunteers showed up for a grocery giveaway at the east bay church of religious science. thieves broke into the church last weekend, and they damaged doors and a security gate. they also took off with church offerings, audio and video equipment, along with several computers. church members say they'll have to 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. >> insurance will help cover their losses, but church officials say there's still about $20,000 short. they've launched a go fund me page to help bridge that gap. new

details dublin based patelco credit union is still working to fix online banking following last weekend's ransomware attack. patelco ceo says the credit union will reimburse late fees and non patelco atm fees or overdraft fees. he also says customers with patelco loans or credit cards will not be charged late fees for missed payments, while their system is down. patelco says it still does not know when online account services will be restored. we'll stay posted on that. target is making an official change. most shoppers stopped doing a long time ago. starting july 15th, shoppers will no longer be able to pay at target using personal checks. the company says the change is being made because of extremely low volumes of check writing. in recent years. target still accepts several other forms of payment, including all major credit and debit cards. in the east bay, there was a drone show at the alameda county fair last night. it's becoming a more popular alternative to firework

shows, especially when it comes to fire safety. and today is the last day of the fair. the scorching temperatures, though, are not stopping visitors from heading to the fair. some guests say they did all they could to stay cool, while also enjoying the food, the rides and other attractions at the fairgrounds. yesterday's highs peaked at 105 degrees. >> it's pretty hot, but they really wanted to come, so we had to come. >> it's worth it, but we're we're going slower. this year for sure. waiting for the sun to go down. >> yeah, you need to take it slow on days like that, today's temperatures are once again expected to reach 100 degrees in some areas. and lisa is tracking the latest on that. of course, we're all wondering when we get a break from all this heat. what's the latest? >> yeah. you know what? 2 to 7 degrees cooler in our inland valleys. it was 110 at the livermore airport yesterday. 60 one half moon bay. that's a good 49 degrees spread. so we are looking at low clouds and fog

and that sea breeze making an impact a little bit further away from the shoreline. here's a look at what is still a tropical storm. beryl will become a weak hurricane and impact the texas coast, so the forecast as soon as tonight getting winds of 60 and 70 miles an hour. and you'll notice right there along the texas coast, anywhere from maybe 5 to 6in of rain in that storm surge, it'll move up towards houston and then continue to weaken. so really getting a lot of rain there while we are taking the edge off the heat, there's a look at mount tam where temperatures are cool at the coast, 55 half moon bay 57 san francisco. it is 59, in oakland, 60 in hayward, 67 san jose. and you can see the fog here from our sutro tower camera and salesforce in the distance. there 55 santa rosa. petaluma was 61. in napa, 67 in livermore. and from our exploratorium camera. the national weather service has our excessive heat warning and our advisory right until wednesday.

so as we cool off a little bit today, monday, and tuesday, we'll see a resurgence of that heat. come wednesday and thursday, and it's going to take some time for the upper elevations and the relative humidity to catch up. so it certainly dry out there. and with six day of the heat, we're looking at relative humidity well into the teens upper level temperatures 80s and 90s. so the relief comes today though at the surface, as we'll see temperatures trim back some. and then that resurgence of some of that heat on wednesday. there's a look at the low clouds, the fog. you can see all the way through the north bay, parts of the east bay. it retreats and then a further push into sunday. this is into monday, i should say, and notice how far it goes into monday. and so that's why monday and tuesday will be quite comfortable. so looking for a picture there from santa cruz where it's dark and gray. today we'll see more clouds at the coast. breezy afternoon 60s here from half moon bay, santa cruz though warming up to about 80. so as we look at your monday's

highs, notice no 100 degree heat will be in the low to mid 90s, inland 60s and 70s from san francisco to oakland about the same on tuesday. wish it could stay that way. but look what happens on wednesday. we see more readings over 100 degrees from concord. antioch, 103 fairfield and then looking at the rest of the week, we are in fact looking at a cold front that will really cool us off further into next weekend. so a few more days of this 80 today in oakland, 103 in livermore. that's better than your 110, right? 98 santa rosa was 99 yesterday. so not a whole lot of change in some spots, but comfortable from the coast to the city with 80s on the peninsula. the accuweather seven day forecast. so 60s to 104 today. minor cooling the first couple of days of the week and then still some hot weather midweek. stephanie. >> all right lisa, thank you. when we return campaign contributions, we're taking a deep dive into a family tied to an fbi corruption probe. this

all follows the raid on the mayor of oakland's home. what the abc7 news i-team unc stay ahead of your child's moderate-to-severe eczema. and they can show off clearer skin and less itch with dupixent, the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists and allergists, that helps heal your child's skin from within. serious allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems such as eye pain or vision changes including blurred vision, joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines without talking to your doctor. ask your child's eczema specialist about dupixent.

be part of the fbi's corruption probe. their homes and offices were raided the same day the fbi raided oakland mayor xiang tao's home. now we're learning big names in california politics. receive campaign contributions from this family. the duong family. this morning, i want to give you an in-depth look into the investigation. as the saying goes, in the world of politics, it's all about who you know. but pictures and handshakes aside, if you want the truth, follow the money. a lot has happened in the city of oakland in recent weeks. the mayor's house got raided, and then we learned about a waste company now in the spotlight for alleged money laundering, sources confirmed to abc news. the fbi is working

with the irs and the u.s. postal service as a part of this investigation. given the raids happened around the same time, it appears it's all connected, but the fbi hasn't specifically confirmed or said why. here's what we do know. the family owns california waste solutions or ors, a large commercial and residential recycling company servicing oakland and san jose. it's operated by david duong, according to allegations by the fair political practices commission. his son, andy was the true source of at least 93 contributions to multiple local campaign committees when he created a campaign contribution laundering scheme to benefit his family owned company. documents allege the committees targeted were candidates running for city council, including milpitas city councilman anthony forn, former oakland city council members desley brooks, abel guillen and xiang tao hiding the source of

the contribution. >> that's a big deal. we spoke to justin levitt, a law professor at lmu loyola law school. it seems like the fppc is zeroing in on a potential scheme to reimburse contributions so that it looks like they're coming from multiple individuals when they're in fact all coming from one person over the acceptable limits. and if true, that's not okay. >> the fppc says andy's job is, quote, promoting the company's public image of ors. and we found he does a lot of that on social media, posting pictures with politicians at every level of government from the president, vice president, past presidents to what appears to be a familiar relationship with attorney general rob bonta. we found a total of 19 photos of the two on duong's instagram account. according to the fppc allegations, duong sent his father an email titled 2016 political analysis. while the grammar was incorrect, here's

what part of the email said. here are my final analysis for 2016. double elections year, in whom we shall support, going on to say they are all among in groups that will be best beneficial for us in the long run. duong's recommendations called out an alleged request from rob bonta to sponsor his biggest quote fundraising, saying he is one of the best allied to ever support and will deliver whatever we ask for when help needs in the future. >> a private expectation that a public official may do well for that family, or for a company, or for a business in the future, doesn't necessarily translate into the public official actually taking action to further that hope. >> abc7's data analysis of local, state and federal campaign finance data found the average contribution the duong family and entities made to oakland state and federal politicians was around $5,000 per candidate, but ag rob bonta received nearly 30 times more

than that. over $155,000. that figure, combined with contributions to his wife state assemblywoman mia bonta, brings that total to more than $172,000. the one politician who received the most from the duong's is former president donald trump, with contributions totaling more than $300,000. following our story, a representative from bonta's campaign told the i-team they've chosen to donate all $155,000 received from the duong's to worthy california charities and advocacy organizations. out of an abundance of caution, five charities will receive approximately $31,000, including youth alive, planned parenthood affiliates of california, giffords, moms demand action, and the brady campaign against gun violence. assembly member mia bonta's campaign spokesperson reported the same, saying, we are methodically identifying any contributions that may have been issues based on recent media reports.

corresponding amounts will be donated to charities that include the family violence law center, the native american health center, and reproductive freedom for all. other politicians did too, including congressman adam schiff. his campaign told the i-team they'll be donating the $26,000 contribution from the wongs to local nonprofits, helping address housing and homelessness. congresswoman barbara lee received more than $61,000, and congressman eric swalwell received more than $29,000. but neither office responded to our requests for comment. >> it's not at all uncommon for the officials or for the candidates to disavow the source of those funds, and then to either return the contributions or to give them over to charity. >> documents obtained by the i-team also show the fppc sent notices to the duong family for failing to file major donor campaign statements, which are contributions over $10,000, and failed to file forms required by

law that reveal any conflict of interest, specifically, trips, gifts, stocks, money and ties with business entities. >> if the allegations prove correct, that would be concerning. if only because they would deprive the public of some of the information they need to assess the potential conflicts in those officials actions. the allegations are serious, but that doesn't necessarily mean that there was a violation of law, at least not yet. that's what the process is there to determine. >> now we reached out to the duong family and california waste solutions for further comment, but have yet to hear back. stay with abc seven news to learn the latest about the fbi investigation and its impact on mayor shengtao and the city of oakland. we'll continue to update abc seven news.com and the abc seven bay area app coming up in our next half hour on abc seven mornings. governor newsom standing by the president. his message to voters as he continues on the campaign

trail supporting biden. but first, record temperatures in the coachella valley. get this 120 degrees. how organizers are trying to keep people safe and cool

prepared. >> we're prepared. >> ready for the worst texas bracing for barrel. expected to hit the gulf coast as a hurricane. how residents are now preparing as they're still reeling from hurricane harvey. good morning everybody. we'll have more on that story in just a moment. but first, lisa is here. we're starting with this weather, all this heat, and we get a slight break. >> that's right. yes we do. we're going to see a couple triple digits today, but not like the 110 yesterday in the livermore valley. we still have an excessive heat warning and a

heat advisory for the areas highlighted here until wednesday. but taking the edge off today for sure. and as we look outside here, you can see the low cloud deck. we've had this each and every day and it's only made an impact along the shoreline and immediate bay. but today, a different story. 57 in the city, 60 in oakland, it's 55 half moon bay. and that fog has a retreats. the sea breeze will kick up. we're in the low 60s in concord, 67 in livermore and three quarter mile visibility santa rosa and half half moon bay at a quarter mile visibility. so by noontime we are in the upper eight 90s inland. so that's better than yesterday, where we reached about 101 102 at noontime. the bay shore will be in the 70s to 80s in the coast. not a whole lot of sun today. so we're going to see about a 5 degrees decrease in our inland valley temperatures and more so into the upcoming workweek. but it's not over yet. the increments will be small and the days still warm. i'll detail how much longer the warmest weather lasts in a few minutes. stephanie. all

right. >> lisa, thank you. happening right now. communities along the gulf coast of texas are bracing for storm beryl. here's a live look from south padre island in texas. beryl is expected to pick up steam before hitting the state, and 11 people have died after it moved through parts of the caribbean as a powerful hurricane. abc news reporter courtney fisher with our sister station in houston, talks to residents preparing. >> right now, there are voluntary evacuations here in many communities along the gulf coast, like this one. port lavaca for the most part, people have made up their mind. are they going to stay? are they going to go? if they haven't decided they're running out of time. we're sold out at the ace hardware in palacios. >> it's been crazy for the last 2 or 3 days. >> sheila porter can barely get a break behind the cash register. what's the number one thing people are buying? plywood. >> plywood and plywood. >> selling so much they're almost out.

>> next 24 hours, we're going to board the windows up, watch the news and make sure that, you know, we don't need to evacuate. >> liz madrone was one of the last customers of the day. >> you know, we've always left when a storm hits, getting wood for her parents windows, a couple gallons of gas, then getting out. >> we boarded up my mother in law's house here. that's today along the gulf coast, helping family and friends as beryl gets closer. >> well, i'm kind of nervous. >> people here anticipating the storm surge, high winds, power outages. we're boarding and we plan on moving, but we're not sure yet. some will ride it out. not jeff schneidman, who opened his kayak and tackle store six weeks ago, now boarding up every last window. >> we're going to load up and we're heading out of town. >> he and his wife are driving all the way to family in utah, as far from beryl as they can get. >> it may not be that bad, but i'm not taking any chances for people who live in these communities along the gulf coast.

>> so many of them are used to hurricanes, are used to tropical storms, so they've already made up their mind what they're going to do. but officials stressing that they only have a few hours left to decide if they have not yet made up their minds. for now, i'm reporting in port lavaca, texas. courtney fisher, abc seven news. >> all right. new this morning, california's high temperatures are affecting marine life in monterey county. the department of fish and wildlife says a large number of fish were found dead in lake san antonio. this weekend's heat wave is to blame. monterey county posted this picture saying the high temps caused oxygen depletion in the water yesterday. the area hit a high of 114 degrees and today is expected to be another hot one. record highs are being seen across the state this weekend. coachella valley recently broke its record at 124 degrees. residents in the area have been

relying on cooling centers to stay safe. >> it can be detrimental to someone's health if they don't have that shelter, that water and some place to cool off the heat. illnesses are very serious and i've dealt with them before in my life. >> data from the county shows there have been 237 heat related emergency visits this year. organizers hope the centers will prevent those in the future. now to your voice. your vote, governor gavin newsom hit the campaign trail showing support for president joe biden. it was his third day in a row campaigning this time in pennsylvania. five democratic lawmakers have now publicly called for biden to step down from the ticket. newsom told the crowd at yesterday's event that the vast majority of democrats are still backing biden. he also said the president made that clear in his exclusive interview with abc news anchor george stephanopoulos. biden reiterated 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. >> the president heads to philadelphia today. you can see the full interview with joe biden again today at 8 a.m. on this week with george stephanopoulos. vice president kamala harris is trying to gain support among black voters. she sat down for an interview at the essence festival of culture. the annual festival celebrates culture and music among black women during the sit down interview, harris criticized the former president and pushed for voters to support president biden. >> in 122 days. we each have the power to decide what kind of

country we want to live in. >> despite calls for him to end his campaign, harris has been openly supportive of the president's choice to remain in the race. new this morning, voters in france are casting their ballots for the second round of the country's parliamentary election. that includes french president emmanuel macron, who cast his ballot today. the elections could force him to share power with the far right. it could also have a potential impact on the war in ukraine and europe's economic stability. an extra 30,000 police officers are monitoring the situation in response to several violent incidents throughout the week. still ahead this morning, dog owners beware. surveillance video shows the potential danger of letting dogs roam around unsupervised. and we'll take you outside here shortly for a live look. we'll be right back

risk this year, but potentially for decades to come. abc seven news meteorologist drew tuma has a closer look. >> the machine burning a path through the wild grass is part of a study that's turning thousands of acres around stanford university into a living fire lab known as the burn bot. the unit works like a rolling furnace, scorching the ground with a precision that's keeping the controlled burn safe and potentially providing new clues for researchers. esther cole adelsheim is the conservation program manager. >> so our goal will really be to monitor how the fire behaves in this really controlled setting, she says. >> stanford has tested a variety of fire control techniques across its 8000 acre property, ranging from pile burns at its nearby jasper ridge site to goats brought in to graze the hillside. but the goal has now evolved to learning the benefits and drawbacks of specific techniques. in this case, the

effects of different intensities of fire on native and non-native plants. >> so we'll be able to look at how some of these native plants that we want to promote here at the dish will respond as well as how do the invasive weeds that we want to control respond. >> the team flagged off small areas into study zones, noting plant varieties and soil types in the area. stanford professor scott fender is hoping the data will add to his research on a newly discovered side effect from recent wildfires. heat so intense it's turning a natural chemical in the soil from safe to toxic. >> the big one is for us is chromium. so chromium exists in the what's called the trivalent form that's benign for humans. generally in soils and rocks. and when fire comes through, it catalyzes and changes it into hexavalent chromium. for anybody that remembers the erin brockovich movie, that's the chemical that got in the groundwater. >> his team wants to learn which soils are most vulnerable and at what temperatures potentially

reminder the giants are away this morning. first pitch though, against the cleveland guardians is at 1040 this morning. and lisa you were just saying yesterday was the hottest day of the heat wave. >> yes. day five. today's day six. and yesterday we had 105 in concord, 110 in livermore, 60 one half moon bay. so that narrow band of cool air, that fog, really situated, of course, along the shoreline and upper elevations. they'll show you in a moment in the 80s and 90s, just above 1000ft. there's a look at the marine layer this morning, the stratus, and as a result, temperatures are cool again. half moon bay with fog 5457. san francisco is 59. in oakland. good morning, san jose 60 for you, 67 in san jose. and for our exploratorium camera, we have the gray start for you. 54 petaluma. and there's fog all the way up towards the north bay. 63 by the delta. you may have to slow down if you're driving along the coast. we certainly have that dense fog in spots. so looking at the upper

elevations, this is above 1000ft. rocky ridge or big rock ridge 93 degrees. and it's 90 on top of mount diablo. so if you were headed out yesterday, the past couple of days for a bike ride, you could tell just going up a couple hundred feet how hot it got, how stifling. and then the relative humidity has been way, way low. so this is why the national weather service has kept that excessive heat warning with us, despite the cool down at the surface, we still have extremely dry conditions and warm conditions in the upper elevations, and it's going to take several days for those to come down and allow for some mitigation. with the chance and risk of wildfires. so the heat wave continues through wednesday. some relief today we're out of 110 105 range. and then looking at the forecast for wednesday and thursday, we do warm up again to about those readings probably for the last time though, in some time. so there's a look at the fog this morning. you can see it up through the marin county coastline, san mateo coast. it

tries to thin out and burn back a bit along the coastline today, but it will be cool with 60s there. and then by your monday morning, look at the fog footprint. it's all the way over into oakland this afternoon. 20 to 25 mile an hour winds. you can see them moving right on through the delta there. so that's that breeze that will help you out today with those winds kicking up throughout the afternoon. and then they dial back overnight into monday afternoon. they're even a little stronger so that cooling continues into monday and tuesday. today though, back to the 90s not a whole lot of relief here in the south bay with 95 san jose upper 80s in milpitas along the peninsula were still in the 80s here, but along the shoreline there, 60s with partly cloudy skies. south city in the 70s. and up in the north bay the afternoon. you'll feel the breeze, but the heat up is quick, so low 90s for petaluma and even from cloverdale to lakeport, still about 108 there and on the bay shore here. oakland. another warm day at 80, but breezy in the afternoon. so that's a

switch. and then inland, you'll notice that we're in the upper 90s and looking at temperatures even warmer towards brentwood. the accuweather seven day forecast so 60s to triple digits today. cooler monday tuesday and then still pretty hot there wednesday into thursday stephanie. >> all right lisa, thank you. next one brave boy reminds us to never be afraid to stand up for change. >> you just hear all the time. it's not very safe around here. and i don't want my grandma to get hurt. >> so inspiring how a nine year old is making a difference in his city, mainly to keep

weeks. good luck. well, a young boy is showing us you can fight for change at any age. get this. nine year old william miller from arizona had enough of street racers at a nearby intersection, one that he and his grandmother walked through often after his grandmother was nearly hit, he put on his suit and tie and took it to city council. >> how you guys doing today? me and my grandma would would walk to sonic to get some ice cream. and there's. it's very dangerous because of all of the street racers. i wonder if you guys have any solution to fix this. >> is that not the cutest thing you've ever seen? the mayor and police chief listened to miller's concerns and they came back with a plan to step up law enforcement in that area. and the city even added a stoplight to the intersection. coming up next on abc, seven mornings at 6 a.m. a big change for bikers on one bay area bridge where
