9:20 am
this is all due to fires to our south. we'll take it to sequoia national forest outside of bakersfield. earlier this week we had a couple of thunderstorms. lightning sparked some new fires. so currently cal fire is battling a couple of fires in the national forest. but where high pressure situated over vegas right now that clockwise flow is sending that smoke into the bay area and into parts of northern california. this morning. we will get some stronger winds this afternoon that pushes the smoke out of here, but for the most part it's remaining elevated above the surface, creating that hazy sunshine. this morning. you look at current air quality right now. good to moderate. and we do expect it to stay in that range over the next 24 hours. let's talk about those winds. they do pick up in intensity as we head deeper into the day this mornin. they're pretty quiet. you saw the flag gently moving along the coast from pacifica pier heading into the afternoon, though those winds do increase, we'll likely see gusts close to 30mph at times a window pretty much starting around lunchtime through the evening along the
9:21 am
coast will likely see winds close to 40mph, so it is a gusty afternoon, but that will help to bring in some cooler weather later on today. here's the accuweather headlines. those winds gusting about 20 to 40mph today. tomorrow the winds relax. it's even cooler here on sunday with morning fog. the afternoon sunshine. and then next week we're heating up once again. want to give you an early heads up starting monday, we'll likely start a four day heat wave away from the coast, so we'll likely see fresh heat advisories issued over the next couple of days. here's future weather today. by lunchtime, 60s and 70s around the bay shoreline 80s in our warmest areas inland, then heading into the afternoon. remember those winds are going to pick up so it feels quite gusty along the coast. we're dragging in some cooler air. so today inland highs about ten degrees cooler compared to yesterday. yesterday our hottest cities hit about 105 106. today we'll stay in the low and mid 90s, 70s and 80s around the bay shoreline. so a high of about 74 in oakland today, 69 in the city. and it gets real windy here in the afternoon, 81 in san
9:22 am
jose, about 94 in antioch, 84 in napa, but warmer in santa rosa coming in at 96 degrees overnight. tonight, the winds will begin to weaken our marine layer grows. we'll find a lot more fog first thing tomorrow morning. and temperatures mainly in the 50s and low 60s tomorrow. even cooler than today. but it will be a nice finish to the weekend with those weaker winds and pleasant temperatures. then the heat comes right back. look what happens on monday away from the coast. we start to bake once again and that will continue at least through thursday of next week. so here's the accuweather seven day forecast uh- windy today. winds weakened. tomorrow we're closer to average for temperatures. and then those numbers take off once again away from the coast. it gets quite warm if not downright hot, and the coast does remain immune to the intense heat. throu

social media, quote, joe, i love and respect you, but the stakes are too high to fail. it's time to pass the torch to kamala. according to abc news, representative takano is the 38th democrat to call on biden to end his campaign. now, the president has been losing momentum since his controversial debate performance three weeks ago. but the question remains who would replace biden? someone we just mentioned, vice president kamala harris, is being floated as the most likely option. abc seven news anchor julian glover has a look at harris's chances. president kamala harris spotted in washington, d.c, friday afternoon with her grand nieces visiting an ice cream shop opened by tyra banks. >> harris ignored questions from reporters asking what she would say to democratic voters. harris on the attack during a rally in fayetteville, north carolina, thursday night, making her case

for a second biden harris term. so, friends, i say the contrast between joe biden and donald trump is like night and day. the vice president remains all in on the ticket publicly as more than 30 congressional democrats demand president biden pass the torch among the rising stars in the democratic party. harris, born in oakland, raised in berkeley, is one of the most likely replacements for biden should he step aside. >> but right now, as it stands, she would have the first right of refusal or the first right to attempt to get the democratic nomination. and everybody else, i think, would stand back. >> abc seven news insider phil matier said harris at the top of the ticket would be the best path for dems to avoid chaos at the democratic national convention set for chicago next month, a shift that the san francisco democratic county central committee is calling for. >> if biden steps down, we want to vice president harris to be the nominee for president. she had the resources. she has the time and she has the experience.
9:35 am
>> local democrats are prepared to kick campaigning into overdrive. should harris be named the democratic presidential nominee from the san francisco, from the city that she started her political career in? >> we are speaking from the personal experience of what we've seen her do as an impact on our city. during her nearly four years in the white house, harris has been tasked with handling some of the most divisive issues from securing the southern border to women's reproductive rights efforts that could be applauded by democrats and picked apart by republicans. >> there is a good chance that she would be more motivational, because it would be different that people would wake up and say, this is what it's about. if kamala harris is the nominee, there's only one choice. is it trump or not? >> in speaking with harris's close childhood friend carol porter, she remains confident that biden and harris are united together. >> biden harris together is the ticket and i know that's where kamala wants to go, and i know that's where biden wants to go. kamala's values, her life experiences are to help all
