nobody said there was a problem and i would have waited for 15. they could have said, let's wait for 15 minutes, 20 minutes, five minutes, something nobody said. i think that was a mistake. how did somebody get on that roof and why wasn't he reported? because people saw that he was on the roof. i mean, you had uh- trumpers screaming, the woman in the red in the red shirt. she was screaming, there's a man on the roof. and then other people said, there's a man on the roof who's got a gun. and that was quite a bit before i walked onto the stage. >> the washington post reporting that top officials at the secret service repeatedly rejected requests from trump's security detail for more manpower and gear at events before the attempted assassination. a secret service spokesperson admitted in a statement that the agency has denied trump's request for federal resources in the last two years. now, this comes as pressure continues to push on president biden to step aside. abc news reports. vice

parking is nearly impossible to find. san mateo seems to be working on these issues by installing more of these green zones, with a limit of 24 minutes to allow for a quick pickup, the city council also recently approved designated parking spots for food delivery services like uber eats. that still doesn't help valet and the nearby shoe store. >> and unfortunately, restaurants have more say than the mom and pop shops. and there's only two businesses that have been here for over 25 years, and we have no word and say we asked san mateo's mayor how the city expects to help them. >> let's talk about victor. sure, mayor. right. okay. so isn't he isn't it better if he relocated somewhere else? i mean, how do you bring business to his place? >> well, what happens and what is already happening is that people who come wandering down the mall and they go, i didn't even know there was a shoe repair store in san mateo. wow. i'm going to come back. >> we'll check back in a few

months to see if his situation has improved. >> we went from primarily a 9 to 5 economy to a afternoon lunch to evening economy, while the downtown area seems to be flourishing, it's the weekends that tend to bring the bulk of their clientele, like during the weekend. >> oh my god, you're going to see a lot of younger generation. they walk around, oh my god, i feel so i feel every business got a busy city. >> officials told us they're working to bolster the number of visitors during the week by offering something that other bay area cities struggle with. the new businesses that i've seen coming in, i always ask them, you know, what brought you to downtown san mateo? >> and what i've heard over and over again is we feel really safe here. we've heard really good things about the safety. so happy, happy to report that san mateo city officials are also counting on a number of new housing developments nearby to help bring more business to the downtown area. >> lyanne melendez, abc seven

news. >> all right, how's it looking outside, drew? >> hey, good morning stephanie. a live look from our golden gate bridge. certainly that fog is chopping off part of the bridge this morning. we have some coastal drizzle, some breezy conditions. we'll track this cooler end to the weekend before our next heat wave arrives. tomorrow we'll have the watches and warnings in effect tomorrow in the accuweather forecast ahead. >> drew. thank you. also, if you have been watching, you know it's been a rocky road for the giants out of the all star break in the mile high city is star pitcher logan webb able to smooth out the bumps? sports is next (woman) oh, come on! come on!

opened their post all star portion of the schedule with a disappointing loss to the rockies on friday night. now, if they want to have any hope of staying in the wild card race, you got to win the games you're supposed to. colorado entered saturday night's game 28 games under 500. it was star wars night in colorado. my favorite part, though. rockies mascot dinger catching the first pitch. all star logan webb struggling in the first. it's one nothing at this point. wilmer flores ranging wide to his right, but webb can't get to the bag in time. it's two nothing after one. webb, of course not happy in the third. same score. tyler fitzgerald lift off to left center. it's a solo shot. he hit a game tying double later in the game to make it two. all in the bottom of the fifth. two all ezequiel tovar at the plate. and there goes his third straight game with a homer. it's a two run shot. made it four two. webb went six, allowed four runs. that's your game winning swing. giants lose four three. looking to avoid the sweep later today. they're four games back of the

third and final wild card spot. bob melvin a man of few words. >> we have to win more games. and you know we have to come out tomorrow with the mindset that we win tomorrow's game, move on to the next series and do better. >> all right. a's and angels jose canseco thrown out the first pitch. he'll be signing autographs later today before sunday's first pitch. bottom one two on for brant. rooker does his best bash brother impression. team leading 22nd of the season. a's roll eight two. they'll go for the sweep of the halos later today. you saw it right here on abc seven wnba. all star game. walnut creek's own sabrina ionescu making her third all star game appearance for team usa, five points off the bench for her 2021 all star game mvp. arike ogunbowale scoreless in the first half. second half was a different story. 21 of her wnba all star game record 34 points, they came in the third quarter as the wnba team wins 117 109. she's your mvp. the last time the wnba all stars played team usa handed

them their only loss of the olympics season. it was also the other time enrique won all star game mvp. >> it's just a testimony to you know, my hard work, regardless, you know, win lose or draw, i'm going to play my game and they're going to the olympics tonight. so, you know, they needed to run their plays. they obviously don't want to lose. you know, going into paris. but we also don't want to lose, we're competitive too. and we kind of got wind that they were going to come out hard. so that's exactly what we wanted to do as well. >> that is your look at sports. have a great sunday. let's send things back to you. >> thanks, chris. will the giants and rockies facing off one last time in the mile high city? we need a win. first pitch is at 1210. hi drew. >> hi, steph. let's take you to our. okay. camera this morning. our microclimates are certainly in play right now. from our camera you can see that we do have cloudy skies out there. current conditions will report temperatures in the 50s. right now we have a little bit of drizzle as well underneath our marine layer carl is certainly acting strong this morning in spots even along the coast. so right now the current reading is

59 degrees. lots of clouds out there. the winds out of the west, high humidity and visibility right now. not an issue. we'll take it to san jose. it's a much different view. sunshine is breaking out in the south bay. your accuweather headlines will call for another windy afternoon but cooler weather today. enjoy the cooler temperatures because tomorrow our next inland heat wave arrives, lasting three days through wednesday. those temperatures above 100 degrees and then looking even farther down the seven day forecast next weekend. get ready for significant cooldown, something we haven't been able to say for quite some time. let's talk about the winds today, 4 p.m. this afternoon. that onshore flow between about 15 and 35mph. once the sun goes down high pressure begins to take control. those winds are really going to back off first thing tomorrow morning. temperatures right now we're mainly starting our day in the 50s, so it is pleasant out there with a bit of a breeze. here's a look at your day planner today. we have those coastal clouds and some patchy fog around the bay shoreline. early on here we'll have those

winds throughout the afternoon, but it's a cooler afternoon. your sunset this evening occurring at 827. so live doppler seven along with satellite. what we're tracking this trough this low is responsible for the pleasant temperatures later on today. the proximity between these two features, the low and the high. as they get closer to each other, they do act like a wind tunnel. and that's why we have those onshore winds gusty this morning. tomorrow though, that high pressure will win out sits on top of us starting tomorrow. that relaxes the wind but also acts like a heat pump. and that's why we turn hotter. starting tomorrow. highs today at or just slightly below average and a lot of areas 86 in concord today, 79 in san jose. cloudy in oakland right now. breaking for sunshine. closer to 10 a.m. this morning at 73. it's a mix of sun and clouds all day across the city. the city is quite windy with a high of 6882. in napa, 75 the high in santa cruz overnight tonight, the winds will calm down. we'll find temperatures in the 50s heading into monday. now heat advisories and excessive heat warnings

begin here tomorrow morning through wednesday. the excessive heat warning. the area in pink. that's the highest risk when it comes to heat. and that means temperatures will be above 100 degrees. so here's the heat risk for monday. we have that moderate to major heat risk starting tomorrow lasting through wednesday. so we have several days of hot temperatures away from the coast. here's the accuweather seven day forecast showing you today's breezy with temperatures near average. then tomorrow it's all about tracking that hot weather temperature surge once again for three days inland. but the coast remains pretty comfortable place to go to beat the heat staying in the 60s. and then we break this heat wave inland on thursday. and then dramatically cooler weather arrives by friday and saturday and next weekend we'll keep those temperatures very pleasant. 70s and 80s, very nice daytime. that's nice. this time of year, it's a well deserved break for sure for folks that are hot. yeah definitely. >> thank you drew. >> well, coming up next returned to its roost. how police solved the case of the missing south

at the apollo 11 mission this morning. yesterday marked 55 years since man's arrival to the lunar surface. pilot buzz aldrin successfully landed the module on july 20th. in 1969, six hours after that landing, neil armstrong took his first steps on the moon's surface. it was a win for the country in the space race and of course, a huge step for the human race. now to this fun story. a return to the roost for this stolen rooster. remember this one? a six foot tall, nearly 100 pound metal bird is now back in front of its california home and garden, and campbell police delivered it on

saturday, saying they tracked it down in downtown san jose. it had been stolen from the store on wednesday, and video here showed it being wheeled off in the middle of the day by two people. the owner says it's worth about $5,000, but adds there's a lot of sentimental value to the community. glad to see that roost is back home, where it needs to be well across the pond, competitive cliff divers took part in the red bull cliff diving world series this weekend on northern ireland's causeway coast. take a look at this pretty incredible video here. this is the first time the diving world series has been held in northern ireland. athletes had three different spots to dive from, which includes that massive cliff. >> whoa, you better dive far out there, right? beautiful, though. >> it's amazing. i mean, i got to give them credit. i would not i'd be so scared. i'm terrified of heights. >> and i'm thinking, like, how cold is that water? oh, yeah. you know, and are there rocks down there? >> i mean, how do you know?

right. that's not that's not a comfortable water. but kudos to them. >> yeah for sure. just one final check of the weather. it is windy out there this morning as onshore flow continues. that's going to keep temperatures close if not below average. look at those daytime highs. we'll keep those winds throughout the afternoon. they will calm down this evening. comfortable temperatures tomorrow though are inland heat wave arrives lasting through wednesday. we will be bracing for it. sure >> thank you and thank you all for joining us this morning. we'll see you back here at nine. have a great day. >> this is abc 724 >> in san francisco, live at levi's stadium in san jose. >> live in oakland. >> yeah. >> you're watching abc seven news live anytime, anywhere. we are we are, we are, we are, we are, we are where you are. >> never miss a moment of the news that matters to you. download our abc
