airlines united american, delta and allegiant had all been grounded. we talked to one passenger who was supposed to be leaving for a trip to belize with a layover in houston when he wasn't even able to check his bag. >> we're pretty much just stuck here until we figure out what's next. i don't know how long it's going to be. it's been at least for a couple hours. we've been waiting, though, so we'll see what's next. i don't know, but yeah, we're stuck for a while. >> american airlines said they are back up and running as normal. other airlines haven't been so lucky. united said they are only resuming some flights and expect more disruptions throughout the day. in a statement from delta, the airline company said delta has paused its global flight schedule this morning due to a vendor technology issue that is impacting several airlines and businesses around the world. we are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible to resume operations. now, both

pretty early this morning. in a lot of areas. those temperatures are going to take off pretty quickly today. so looking at the highs versus average map can't get enough of this graphic. temperatures today anywhere from ten to nearly 20 degrees above average. and we do expect our hottest cities. clearly you can see concord, santa rosa, livermore above 100 degrees later on today. so here's future weather, very limited fog out there. it gets warm quickly today as we head into the afternoon. we will find those temperatures hot inland above 100. similar story in the north bay. that's why the heat advisory is in effect. so highs today. it's warm in the city 76 but 82 in oakland, 92 in san jose, 101 in santa rosa. but hotter areas like concord take it easy out there. stay hydrated. stay cool. going to 104 this afternoon, reggie drew thank you. >> layoffs and a major shift in business operations. coming up the shop in san francisco's union square, which is going to go appointment only a crackdown on encampments. >> how soon bay area cities are planning to take action. >> probably the last thing you

layer 101 in santa rosa. it is hot today, 96 in napa, 100 in san rafael. but get close to that water and you'll find sausalito coming in at 76 degrees. if you're in the east bay today, it is warm, if not hot. 82 in oakland, 88, in fremont, castro valley, orinda at 90 degrees richmond. it's a warm one today at 86 and then inland. do take it easy out there. it's one day of these temperatures above 100 degrees. but it can be intense at times. 104 in concord, 104 in walnut creek hit about 102. in livermore overnight. tonight, we'll find clouds continuing along the coast to some patchy fog around the bay shoreline. look at some of these overnight lows staying in the 60s, so mild air stays with us tonight. but tomorrow cooler air really moves in in a big way. so heat advisories are done. tomorrow. temperatures are some 10 to 15 degrees cooler. that feels nice. it's a similar story on sunday. sunday is looking beautiful. but then next week we're likely going to start another warming trend that will last for several days. here's the accuweather seven day forecast hot inland today. if that heat advisory. the weekend looks fantastic.

temperatures are much cooler. we'll have some morning clouds to afternoon sunshine, and then next week we'll likely see a fresh round of heat advisories as that summer sizzle comes back for several days guys thank you drew. >> coming up the seven things to know this morning. >> danger lurking in the water

of their passports still on board. they say they had to cover their own food and hotel, and find their own way back to oklahoma. >> it was completely overwhelming. probably the hardest thing i've ever done. >> coming up at 7 a.m, we'll have much more of our interview with the galt family, what the cruise line is doing now, and what experts say. you shouldn't leave a cruise ship without with your gma first look. i'm andrew dymburt, abc news, new york. >> here's something you definitely don't want to see if you're out boating georgia couple captured this video of a large group of alligators swimming through a swamp. they estimate there are 50 to 60 in this area, and officials estimate this park is home to 12,000 alligators. they say the warmer weather means alligators are more active right now, and a warning for anyone looking to visit santa cruz in monterey. authorities are telling beachgoers to swim at your own risk after several seals were attacked by a shark. news reporter felix cortez is in pacific grove, where this happened. >> notice being given to swimmers, kayakers, paddle boarders swim at your own risk

after five harbor seals were attacked by a shark or sharks in pacific grove, and so any time we see that and we see multiple ones, we like to set out an advisory to the swimmers in the local areas just to protect them and let them know that we've seen this. >> now, the shark may not even be in the waters here anymore. >> those monitoring the harbor seal population say five of them were attacked in the last month, four of them in the last two weeks alone. monitors say they usually only see one attack a month. thus, the reason for the shark advisory. >> that's why we decided to send out the a little alert to the community that just be on the lookout and make sure that you're aware when you're out there swimming or even in a kayak, just know what's around you. >> the shark is believed to be a great white. the advisory limited the social media only. no beach warnings have gone up

because police say no sharks have been spotted and there have been no human encounters. but the concern is still there. >> absolutely. we don't want to have the same. the repetition that we had a few years back with an attack right here out in the bay, so hopefully everyone will stay safe and the sharks will go do their thing and we'll do ours. >> two years ago, a swimmer was nearly killed when he was attacked by a great white off pacific grove. and just four months later, a surfer was knocked off his board after a great white bumped it. >> well, i think that that's just kind of what we have to be aware of when we're around the ocean, but i think people just have to be cautious, stay in groups, don't do anything foolish. and keep your eye on the water at all times. >> felix cortez ksbw, action news eight. >> a landmark hospital in the east bay. coming up at 530. we're getting

afternoon. today will be hotter than yesterday. our heat advisory continues for one more afternoon. and this is just telling you to listen to your body today. stay hydrated, stay cool. as we find those above average temperatures rebounding this afternoon. look at our current temperatures in our hills right now. it is quite warm 71 right now in the oakland hills. we're at 85 atop hood mountain, atlas peak near 80. so you can clearly see there is mild air overhead right now. and this will allow us to quickly warm as that warmer air moves around us this morning. so looking at highs inland today it is going to be quite hot. we're back at 100 degrees. i think our hottest cities inland are right around 103 104. this afternoon. that's how we have that heat advisory in effect for those hot areas around the bay shoreline. it is going to be a warm to hot afternoon as well. you notice we're pretty clear out there this morning so will warm very quickly. you definitely want your summer weather gear, the shorts, the t shirt, the hat, the shades, even the sunscreen. highs in the upper seconds later on today. but of course, the coast, immune to the intense

heat, will find sunshine this afternoon. certainly our beaches are going to be popular today with highs only in the mid 60s. let's check in with amanda and see those drive times. this morning. >> yeah. good morning drew. we do have a mass transit alert for those who rely on ac train. train one is late because of train traffic. it will put you back about 15 to 20 minutes in that delay, and then a live look from our golden gate bridge. cam, you don't see any cars really. nothing in your way. as you head into or out of the city. the overall map showing you that typical slowdown on the altamont pass, also on 680 due to some road work that's expected to clear up in about 30 minutes. but i do want to take you into san francisco. so low crash in the center. divide southbound 101 after bayshore boulevard. luckily, no real slowdown at this hour. just be mindful if you're heading south back to you. reggie >> thanks, amanda. president biden continues to recover from covid. his doctor says the president has mild upper respiratory symptoms and is on paxlovid, the biden campaign trolled a supporter soon after the president was diagnosed with covid wednesday. as you can see,

this post on x began with the line i'm sick and then minutes later, they continue the post with i'm sick of elon musk and his rich buddies trying to buy this election. and if you agree, pitch in here. apparently that post was very successful. a campaign official says it was one of the campaign's best social media fundraising posts in more than a year, although they declined to say how much was raised. meanwhile, the president is facing more calls to step aside. congressman jim costa, who represents the fresno area, said in a statement that it's time to, quote, pass the torch so what if president biden does decide to exit the race? here's abc seven news insider phil matier on what could happen next. >> who would be your pick? you mentioned kamala harris. if biden were to step aside, i wouldn't have a pick. >> i would just say this, that she is the front runner because she is the vice president. he can't anoint her, but he can say, i endorse her or he can release his delegates and they make it. she would have the

right to put it together the first time. if she can get it on the first vote, it's hers. if she can't, everybody's going to be in the mix. >> the list of democrats who want the president to reconsider his reelection campaign is growing. we're now learning that former president barack obama has privately expressed concerns to allies about biden's candidacy. we're only about a month away from the democratic national convention. that will be august 19th to the 22nd in chicago and abc will host the next presidential debate that is set for september 10th. it's unclear if or when the vp candidates will debate an election day is november 5th. >> now to local politics. all week we've been talking to the candidates running for mayor of san francisco. supervisor asha safai joined us in studio to explain why his approach to combating crime is investing more in community policing. >> we're down officers right now, but we're not down the willpower. and what i put forward this past january was to

have mandatory foot and bike patrols. let's get the officers out of their cars and doing proactive community policing. we have never fully done that in san francisco. when you go downtown. now, we were talking about walking around san francisco today. you go down to union square. you see a lot of police presence now finally, that was as a result of a lot of the good work that i did to stop and stem the tide of organized retail theft. we need to spread that around san francisco. >> our final interview with san francisco mayoral candidates will be today, when supervisor aaron peskin joins abc seven at 3 p.m. if you missed any of our other candidate interviews, we have all of them posted on our website, abc seven news.com, and in september, abc seven news in the san francisco standard are joining forces to co-host a live debate with the top candidates. you can watch that live september 25th at 6 p.m. >> crime and safety are important issues, of course, in november's election, especially here in san francisco. recently

released research finds that increased enforcement of disorderly conduct like panhandling and loitering, can lower crime by 26. criminologists, though, warn against the long term effects of over policing. >> when they don't trust the police, they don't call 911 to report crimes. they might take matters into their own hands and initiate retaliatory violence. they might not cooperate with ongoing investigations when people don't trust the police, the work of the police becomes that much more challenging. >> studies have shown that other measures like improving street lighting and cleaning up litter and graffiti, can also lower crime and improve the public's sense of safety. the most recent fbi report says property crime and violent crime are down 15% in the us this year. >> this morning we are tracking that major tech malfunction that had ripple effects around the world. it happened late last night, probably after you went to bed, but the ceo we're learning for cybersecurity firm crowdstrike says they are taking

responsibility. it's a defect in a single content update for windows. now the issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed. but last night this caused a huge meltdown. a lot of computers went to that dreaded blue screen of death, and the biggest impact has been at airports. abc seven news reporter lena howland live. this morning at sfo with a look at how things are going there. and lena, i know you're talking to some passengers who i can imagine are really frustrated right now. >> yeah. kumasi. that's right. we have been talking to quite a few passengers that are frustrated, unable to check a bag, and unable to get rebooked on their flights. if you take a look right here behind me, this is the delta ticket counter and we can't even see the end of the line right here. it's not moving much at all. all of these people are trying to get rebooked on flights that have since been canceled overnight. now, according to flightaware, sfo had more than 40 delays and nearly 70 cancellations so far this morning. i want to go now

to a look at what things looked like. just before 1:00 this morning. flight information display screens were down, frustrated passengers were seen waiting around, unable to even check a bag. as of about 5:00 our time, more than 1000 flights across the country had been canceled, with american and delta the most impacted moments ago. i talked to a passenger here from australia. he's been stranded for 12 hours after his flight from sydney landed just before 5 p.m, and he was supposed to be on a flight to miami by 1130 last night. but it got canceled. he's been waiting to get rebooked ever since. >> yeah, like i'm frustrated. that's for sure. but, what could happen, right? i mean, i didn't realize it was the outage. that's what my friends in canada told me about the outage when i was ringing him saying, i'm going to come up there and said, but, yeah, look, disappointed. obviously it's a long way from australia to the us to start with, which sucks.
