5:10 am
today for a monday after these past two weeks. it's really at a high level. it's just really, really it's tough. it affects the way you uh- you feel. >> white says he and others have reached out to waymo about the issue. in a statement sent to abc7 news, waymo says, quote, we are aware that in some scenarios, our vehicles may briefly honk while navigating our parking lots. we have identified the cause and are in the process of implementing a fix. white says monday afternoon was the first time the honking seems to have gotten better. despite the inconvenience, he tells me he's still a fan of the autonomous vehicle company and uses the cars on a regular basis. >> and so i was all about it until the honking started. and all i really want is resolution in san francisco. >> tim johns, abc seven news. >> time now 510. this morning we're looking at air quality and this is what it will be like throughout the day today. pockets of moderate air quality with the yellow dots. but for the most part we will find fresh air overhead, especially since a breeze picks up later on this

5:12 am
concord gusting close to 30mph. right now it's a similar story as we head deeper into the afternoon, we'll find those winds between about 15 and 30mph. keeping those temperatures in check with that onshore flow. so looking at today, we will find daytime highs in the 60s and 70s along the coast, 80s in our warmest spots inland. we do have a little bit of a warming trend coming our way. tomorrow we'll show you those numbers coming up in just a few minutes, guys. >> thanks, drew. taylor swift security being beefed up for her shows in the uk coming up, the rules police in london will be enforcing to assure a safe show and a new sports team taking over the oakland coliseum. >> the deal made between the oakland roots and the venue's soon to be new tenant. >> plus stunning images of a late night light show for parts

5:20 am
abruptly stop. it will kind of go through the cycle and wane. so there could be surprises as it goes out of its period of maximum activity. >> wyatt says. if you haven't seen the northern lights, you may still have a chance to do so in the coming months. >> that's great, but what am i supposed to do, just be out here? yeah, yeah, and just look up to the sky and wish upon a star. >> doesn't it look better through like an iphone, cameras or whatever. >> so it's not going to look like that just when i'm looking. >> not to your naked eye, but i saw them earlier this year, and you can really see, just like this faint glow of green on the horizon. okay. and then if you take your phone now and take like a long exposure photo, maybe like seconds really looks dramatic like that. >> so better on insta than in real life. >> i mean that's just that's everything. >> yeah. that's everything. >> you know this really cool though. you've seen it at least two times this year in northern california when people are chasing them and going to other countries to see them, you know, right here. so it's really cool.
