kind of dancing? >> fresh off retirement, elton john coming to the bay area to play another gig to benefit a good cause. >> good morning. it is wednesday, june 10th. >> start the check of our forecast with lisa. >> okay, well it's back. not as extensive. we'll see. this heat lasted three days, beginning today at 11:00. our excessive heat warning for our inland valleys. so particularly the east bay, the santa clara valley and a spare, the air alert, low clouds and fog with us quite expansive this morning. and once again, the same areas, not the bay shore or the city of san francisco, but the rest of us will definitely be feeling the heat this afternoon in the east bay. and then later on today, everyone will notice how quickly it has warmed up. there's a look at the low clouds, 67 in san jose. one of the warmer spots. it's cloudy here at 56 downtown gray across the bay, 60 in oakland. and a beautiful view from sutro. 556 the official sunrise and setting at eight

3360 in concord. the skies are clear. the sea breeze with us today over 20 miles an hour. so pleasant in the 70s in san francisco. but we'll warm quickly over in oakland, low to mid 80s in spots. and then by noontime mid 90s inland, over 102 could see about 103 antioch. and looking at the bay shore quite warm again, but cool with some clouds at the coast. amanda. >> hi lisa, plenty of commute time left, but it isn't too bad. here's a live look at the san mateo bridge, the toll plaza into foster city that commute will take you about 12 minutes. you can see things are certainly starting to fill in. then we want to leave you with some drive times. 22 minutes from highway four to the maze, 35 minutes from antioch to hayward, and then from 85 to sjc. that drive will take you eight minutes. a clear commute across san jose to in or out, north or south. getting into san jose. >> back to you, amanda. thank you. part of our work in building a better bay area is improving the region's public transit. and as we reported in

the past, bart is facing a fiscal crisis. the agency needs money, or the entire system's future could be in doubt, a new report shows. bart just isn't making money like it was before the pandemic started. abc7 news reporter gloria rodriguez joins us live from daly city. so, gloria, what are some of the factors contributing to that lower ridership? >> well, reggie, of course, remote work is one of those factors. we know that bart is facing a multimillion dollar deficit starting in 2026, and the report makes the case for needing financial assistance. it also touts the benefits of bart, even for those people who don't use bart. the 62 page report shows that bart ridership is closely linked to regional office occupancy rates. both have recovered 43% of pre-pandemic levels. bart riders have come back, but many are not commuting to work the way they had been, instead taking bart only on certain days or for big events like parades and sporting events. the bay area council was instrumental in bart's creation years ago, council president and

ceo jim wunderman says safety is also a big concern as it was in a survey that they gave to 1200 bay area voters last year. >> we found there was a, you know, there's a fairly large number of people, tens of thousands of people in the bay area who are wary of using bart, who used to use it or, and would otherwise use it if they felt more comfortable. >> and the report also found that bart only received 41% financial assistance pre-pandemic from regional, state and federal governments. that is low compared to other agencies across the country, but it will likely need 70% assistance moving forward. and the report touts the benefits of bart, such as providing jobs, its affordability also lessening traffic congestion. live in daly city, gloria rodriguez, abc seven news thank you, gloria. >> south bay officials continue to push mission for federal money to start the long, the

long. excuse me. to start building the long awaited bart extension through downtown san jose. santa clara valley transportation officials say they still need $6 billion to extend barred from berryessa to santa clara. but that's only half of the actual total south bay residents have already approved three ballot initiatives to raise. the other half of that $12 billion cost. >> imagine a seamless transit system connecting our entire bay area. for years we've dreamed of this. now we're on the cusp of making it a reality. >> vta has already started prep work on the santa clara station, but it needs the federal funding before starting the underground portion through downtown san jose. >> happening today, governor newsom will update us on the response to the wildfires burning across the state. he's scheduled to start at 10 a.m. you can watch live on our abc7 bay area apps. firefighters are battling at least 19 wildfires right now across california, the biggest, the lake fire in santa barbara county. it's almost

they say the suspect has an extensive criminal history, and court records show he's been in a mental health diversion program since 2021. >> happening today, san francisco's police commission will consider some major policy changes, including when officers can initiate chases. it's a story we've been following for a while. the commission is considering seven different policy changes after voters passed prop e earlier this year. high speed pursuits used to be limited to suspects in a violent felony case, but now it could be any felony or a violent misdemeanor, including retail theft or car theft. >> today, president biden will be meeting with union leaders as he faces pressure within his own party to step aside from his reelection campaign. he's relying on labor unions to help make the case that his record in office matters more than his age. the 81 year old president will be meeting with the executive council of america's largest federation of trade unions, a white house official tells the associated press that

the president plans to thank union leaders for their support and talk about his plans for the future. >> president biden has repeatedly given a forceful yes when asked if he's fit to serve another four years. the democratic party remains divided on that issue. amanda, there is something they appear to agree on now, reggie, democrats appear to agree that there is too much at stake in november, all of them saying they want to beat donald trump. >> the question is, who has the best chance? more congressional democrats are doubling down on president biden's determination to continue on the campaign trail. senate majority leader chuck schumer is among those backing the president. however, several senate democrats are now expressing concerns, and a seventh house democrat wants him to drop out. house democrats gathered yesterday to discuss president biden's candidacy. people describe the meeting as rough and sobering. are you all on the same page? >> no. what do you mean you're not on the same page? >> don't even in the same book, president biden is trying to

rally momentum while also taking the world stage. >> at the nato summit in washington, he announced a new historic aid package for ukrain, the united states, germany, the netherlands, romania and italy will provide ukraine with the equipment for five additional strategic air defense systems. ukrainian president zelensky is also in washington. he's urging world leaders to continue support against russia's invasion, saying he doesn't know what to expect. should donald trump win in november. the white house says president biden will meet with zelensky tomorrow and will hold a news conference. it will be his first in eight months. back to you at the desk, kumasi. >> thank you. amanda. bay area democrats are reacting after calls with president biden. south bay congressman ro khanna says he was on the call with the democratic caucus. he says the most important thing for the party to do now is to help biden's campaign. >> it's his decision whether to run. he has the delegates. he's

decided he's going to run uh. and at this point, anything speculative is academic. >> the president also hosted a phone call with democratic mayors of major cities, including san francisco mayor london breed. after that call, breed's office sent abc seven news a statement that read in part, the president and his administration continued to play a critical role through investments across a number of issues important to san francisco, including a landmark infrastructure package, and have strengthened a concerted effort to disrupt the production of fentanyl and trafficking, production and trafficking of fentanyl. >> we have a 10 to 15 degree jump today in the east bay, and the south bay. we were 87 in livermore today. well, yesterday, well over 100 today. so our heat wave begins again as we had a nice break out there. you can see the low clouds and fog all along the coast. before the fourth, we started sweating it out seven days straight, then

had a nice break. a bit on monday, more so yesterday and then back into it for the next three days with our excessive heat warning. so air quality good right now. spare the air alert later on today our inland east bay, the south bay, santa clara valley particularly hazy at times. so we'll call it poor air quality there today. and then moderate for the rest of us through tomorrow. tomorrow we are expecting the peak of the heat. so there's a look at the low cloud deck, the temperatures ranging from the 50s to low 60s in hayward, upper 60s in san jose. we do have a pretty dense marine layer at the coast, and it has expanded to the east. we've got 50s in the north bay. clouds around tomorrow. we could be as hot as 107 108 inland, widespread 80s and even 90s along the bay shore. some cooling begins on friday. san francisco and our beaches stay quite pleasant. here's saturday minor cooling, more dramatic cooling on sunday. so highs today from the upper 80s in fremont to 104 in antioch, 98 in

told us via text that he's running a catering company, not a restaurant. and that quote, we think hillsboro is wrong, but we respect them and don't want to fight with them. therefore, we are refunding reservations and are looking for other venues. there will be more to come soon. end quote. it's unclear what the next step will be, but both parties claim they're willing to collaborate. back to you at the desk. >> thanks, amanda. a popular event that brings revenue to small businesses in oakland is reportedly in jeopardy. organizers of first fridays tell the chronicle that they're battling rising costs, decreased attendance and less vending space. first fridays allows vendors to sell food and other items as performers fill telegraph avenue program cost $400,000 last year, but the event came up short about $100,000 for five days was paused this year, so organizers could take time to raise money. but organizers say the break did not bring in enough revenue. new at six businesses in san francisco's tenderloin area will now be forced to close at

midnight because of a newly passed curfew. the board of supervisors gave final and unanimous approval yesterday, so this ordinance requires markets that sell retail items, prepackaged foods or tobacco to close from midnight to five in the morning. so we're talking about corner stores and liquor stores. some businesses, like restaurants and bars, will still be allowed to stay open until 2 a.m. the city is going to be trying out this curfew for two years. the city department of public health will enforce the program up to $1,000 in fines can be handed to businesses who violate the curfew. >> dreamforce is coming back to san francisco this fall, and a legendary performer and egot winner is taking the stage for the concert for kids. oh baby, i just. elton john headlining the exclusive event september 18th at oracle park. it's called the concert for kids. it's a little confusing because it's not like

but i'm tall enough where i could see it. >> oh, perks. >> the perks of being so tall. >> mr. worldwide that would never have pitbull. >> oh, it's 305. >> yeah, it was fun. i mean, from what i could see. >> all right, well, we're getting back into the fun, right? with our excessive heat warning. actually, some dangerous heat arriving, especially tomorrow. today the heat builds. we have low clouds and fog, a lot of it along the coast. it has moved locally inland to spare the air alert today. and a three day stretch of excessive heat headed our way right now it is cool gray, even mist and drizzle there. 56, san francisco 60, in oakland, 62, in hayward with upper 60s in san jose. and the gray sky has made it all the way into the livermore valley. but that will retreat quickly. 57 santa rosa going up to the upper 90s today, so a good 10 to 16 degree jump from yesterday's readings. it was in the upper 80s here, only 87 in livermore yesterday. we'll be well over 100 today, 61 in livermore right now, 60 in concord. so our headlines the

next three days, triple digit heat returns with our excessive heat warning from 11:00 today through 8:00 friday night. so at the coast, though, it'll be nice. it's going to be mostly sunny at times, a little bit of patchy fog, and then looking at the breezy and cooler conditions in time for the weekend, especially on sunday. so upper 60s, even mid 70s as the fog pulls back from marin county, stinson beach, mid 60s, half moon bay and it will get breezy. so a nice day at the shoreline. look at the highs today and tomorrow for our inland valley. should be in the upper 80s. yesterday was what you would expect for mid july. now 107 tomorrow and then you'll see we drop off on saturday. but it looks like we're back to some much cooler weather finally into sunday and monday. so a few more days of this, but starting out in the low 90s. not too hard to take in the south bay, but the air quality will be reduced here and our inland valleys, so you have to keep that in mind as well. so looking at those highs from the low 90s, from santa

clara to milpitas, that's a quick warm up today with 90 in redwood city. that's a 15 degree jump 71 downtown up in the north bay. it is going to be sizzling from 100 in calistoga, near east bay, with those 80s arriving around berkeley and 90 in castro valley with at least 103 in livermore. back to you. >> there's answers. >> and now we're going to bring in ginger zee with a look at what's coming up on gma. >> good morning ginger. >> yes. good morning to you reggie kumasi. nice to be with you. so it's a wednesday. and we'll start with the story that everybody is following the divide among democrats over president biden's future as top members of the party backed the president's reelection bid. also, we are tracking the storms, the tornadoes that have spun up on remnants of beryl and will again today. i'll have that forecast, plus the heat. we've got to talk about the heat, especially out on your coast. and then we're going to get a look inside buckingham palace at a wing rarely seen. it is about to open to the public for the first time. and we go one on one with serena williams as she gets

set to host the espys. that and so much more on gma. >> just a second, because i think people are surprised at how much of an impact it had on houston for example, i used to live in houston. i don't think people understand that. it is just it's a swamp and there are just bayous and when it rains it can go nowhere. it just sits there. >> yep. and they have developed faster than most cities. and so i think combination of how much sprawl, power lines, how much population has added and that this was the closest a hurricane has made it in proximity wind wise, like to be in that front right quadrant than any. and so i think even a cat one, right, that has 80 plus mile per hour winds can do such significant damage. and they haven't had it. and so anybody who lives here, there, even if they've lived there their whole lives, they're like, oh, this is what that part of the storm looks like. it's a great lesson to that. every storm is so different and unique. >> yeah. and that our infrastructure now really needs

to be built to survive something like that. >> yeah. >> because i had so many friends who were like, i'm going on 24 hours without power here, and you know, just so many things that were unexpected. i think. >> right, for a cat one. >> oh, that's the thing too. well, that's the thing is, when you lose power, it's not just that, it's the sewage system. sometimes it's the quality of your drinking water. there's like a whole litany of things that happen right after. so unfortunately, i've had to be in that unique position so many times that i've gotten. i don't know if it's good at it, but there is no good at it when you're trying to survive or you have baby and you're trying to, you know, make formula or whatever the case, like people are all they all have their stories, and there's a lot of people that's going to take a long time. yeah. >> and it's hot. just like it always is hot and humid in houston this time of year. we are engineered for the toughest conditions. dry burnt-on stains. old dishwashers. very hard water. finish ultimate, with cyclesync technology, helps deliver the ultimate clean.

the report shows the impact of remote work on the lower ridership numbers as well. places like the peninsula, where we are generally lost population. since the pandemic, so did san francisco and the south bay, and a bart map shows declines of 10 to 50,000 people in these areas. other outer areas along the i-80 corridor. the tri-valley near the delta, gained population. the report shows bart ridership is closely linked to regional office occupancy rates. both have recovered to 43% of pre-pandemic levels. bart riders have come back, but many are not commuting to work the way they had been, instead taking bart only on certain days or for big events like parades or sporting events. now for the funding. pre-pandemic, the report says that bar only received 41% financial assistance from regional state and federal government. in other words, tax dollars that you and i pay and that is low compared to other agencies across the country. going forward, bart will likely

need 70% public assistance. >> i think somehow in our region, we're going to have to get okay with paying more to make sure that the system stays viable because it's going to hurt everybody. it's not just the riders, it's the people who are driving or using other transit are going to be heavily impacted. if bart is not functional. >> now, the report shows if bart did not exist, regional traffic congestion would worsen. for example, drivers could experience up to an additional 19 hours lost to congestion weekly and traffic could increase by 73% on the bay bridge. and we already know that traffic is pretty bad. now bart is facing a multimillion dollar budget deficit by 2026. live in daly city. gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. >> thank you. gloria. today, the oakland fire department will be saying a final goodbye to one of their own. there will be a memorial service aboard the uss hornet in alameda for caden
