minutes. it went from just being a small little fire in the front door to engulfing the entire house. i was like, wow. >> now, at 5:00, flames destroy a duplex in the south bay, displacing residents. neighbors describe the chaotic scene. plus, too close or not too close? the great highway. that's the question in san francisco. and it will soon be on the ballot. and a new solution for the astronauts stuck in space. details on their return to earth on a different spacecraft. good morning everybody. it's sunday, august 25th. we begin with the weather. certainly calmer this morning. >> yes, that's right. we picked up some rain yesterday, obviously, and it was muggy, but today we will get back to that drier air as sunshine and high pressure builds in. there's a look at live doppler seven where we will certainly have a quick warm up today. it's 60 in san jose, 57 sfo and up in the north bay cooler in the low 50s, santa rosa and sonoma. we are much cooler anywhere from 3 to 12

degrees cooler. those lower dew points. and as we go through the morning hours we have clouds at the coast. but that's about it. it will be sunny elsewhere, and by 1:00 we're in the mid 80s, but we should top out in the upper 80s to near 90 inland and those low to mid 80s arriving around the bay shore for hayward, fremont and near 80. in oakland. so we start our warming trend today and we're going to talk about when it peaks, how hot it's going to get and the cooldown, how cool it will be by the end of the week in a few minutes. stephanie. >> all right. lisa thank you. >> in the south bay, over a dozen people have been displaced after a fire broke out at a duplex in san jose. one firefighter was hurt as crews battled the flames. abc seven news reporter anser hassan spoke to neighbors about what they saw. >> this fire was fast moving. it was dangerous. it was wind driven. there was some wind in the area that really helped push it and move it quickly. >> san jose fire battalion chief robert culbertson says it took two hours to put out this fire that destroyed a duplex. 14

people now without a home, he says initially, they had reports of people inside with rescue on our mind. >> we thought that there might be somebody in there. we did an aggressive interior fire attack, and it took us about two hours to successfully put this fire out. just after 3 p.m, calls came in for the fire. >> once on scene, culbertson says they upgraded it to a two alarm fire. >> and what that means for our system, it's about 40 to 50 firefighting personnel. there's also law enforcement and some ambulance folks that were with us. >> i want to say maybe 10 or 15 minutes. it went from just being a small little fire in the front door to engulfing the entire house. i was like, wow. it surprised me a lot. >> kevin flores grew up in the neighborhood and lives in the next duplex over. at first he thought the smell of smoke was the neighbor's barbecuing, but then he saw the big plumes of smoke. he tried to use a garden hose to spray the fire. >> i pulled it over and i yanked it. and that's when i tried spraying the fire away. but in reality, it's so big that the hose doesn't really do much because they, the firefighters took like a good hour to even get it, like calmed down. so i

was never going to do anything with this tiny little hose. the red cross tended to families. >> fire officials say everyone made it out alive. but two dogs did die in the fire. culbertson says along with the wind. how close the homes are to one another, pose another serious challenge. >> the closely arranged pattern of these homes, the fuels that they had in their homes, the garages that had material in them. if you see behind them with the camera that there's trees in between these homes, which are also very flammable, these junipers or these italian cypresses, those also contribute to it. >> one firefighter was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening burn injuries. the cause of the fire still under investigation in san jose, anser hassan. abc seven news. >> we're also following new developments in a deadly shooting in the east bay. dublin police say they arrested the man accused of killing someone at the emerald park apartment complex on friday. they arrested him nearly 400 miles away in barstow. the motive of the shooting and the victim's name has not been released. new developments now, in a story we first brought you on abc, seven mornings. one person has died

to the sunset district and a boon to local business. create joy for generations, and it's good for the environment. >> but those in opposition to prop k say people are walking, biking and running in the shoulders or on the on the multi-use path. >> there's no need to shut it down. >> these rally goers say shutting down part of the highway will send too much traffic onto the streets where your kids are trying to play, or walk on the sidewalk, or get out of the car of their parents and things. >> it's dangerous. >> the city has studied this multiple times, and the data don't bear out that there will be a traffic concern. sunset arterial, which is a nearby six lane road, can more than absorb the traffic. we've seen. >> meanwhile, the debate continues with the fate of this coastline in the hands of voters. tara campbell, abc seven news. >> the san mateo county transit district is warning of possible service disruptions as early as tomorrow. it's because of a potential work stoppage. a union representing about 400 bus operators, utility and other

word and then one of our friends actually had to evacuate the state of the art rec center and pool is the result of years of input from the community about how they wanted that money from p-g-and-e's to be spent. >> i think the overall project. great idea, good way to spend that money. yes. why is that? because i think it's something that all of san bruno can use in one way or another. >> city leaders say this $51 million, 49,000 square foot building is also a testament to the resilience of this community. >> san bruno came together. we stood together. we were like san bruno strong with san bruno pride, and we rebuilt in san bruno, cornell, bernard abc seven news. >> turning our attention to weather. now let's check in with lisa. how's it looking outside? >> well, you know, we do have some dense fog at the coast, but what have you hear from mount tam? where it is? 56 degrees and good visibility across the bay. we're going to warm up as much as five to maybe even 8 or 9 degrees. so the warm up begins

unusual start to this august weekend with some rain hitting the bay area. as you experience yesterday. the national weather service says sfo picked up more than 250% of its average august rainfall in just one hour. most of the rain fell in the north bay and the sierras. there was also this unusual sight. yeah, snow in august, palisades tahoe shared this video of it. the resort says it's their 1st august snow in 20 years. >> we came up here with our high school cross-country team for a trail run, meet up and it's snowing. i think we've decided that we're not going to run, but it's pretty awesome. >> wow. can you believe it? >> the national weather service warns campers and hikers to prepare for slick roads on mammoth mountain. more light snow may come around tioga pass and higher elevations of yosemite national park. well, lisa, those figures really put

it in perspective of how unusual this is. >> yeah. you know, when we pick up maybe 1/100, the record of 4/100, you know, needs to be put into context. it wasn't like it was. yes, a half inch. but we did see an inch of rain up by the park fire and the pacific northwest, where all those fires are burning. so significant improvement there with all of that wet weather. so we are looking at the opposite the next couple of days as we get into a drying trend and high pressure builds on in. so this is going to start that and we'll look for numbers to come up today. everywhere pretty significantly. and that will allow for that warm up out there. so today we'll see numbers above average which will take us anywhere from the 70s and 80s around the bay shore to near 90 inland. it is 53 in danville right now, 59 in oakland. see holding to on 60 degrees in san jose and nice view there. and with the sparkling city, the fog is dense

at the coast, but it's confined right there. we'll get into that compressional heating and that allows for high pressure to assert its weight on the atmosphere. and then that drying wind will allow for temperatures to store. but we're not expecting an offshore flow. so that's some good news today. sunny and warmer for monday and tuesday we will be warm to hot and looking at temperatures flirting with 100 degrees, but we will have the fog at the shoreline and allowing for some sunshine. though at times as well. so there's a look at your sunday afternoon, some sunny beaches at times, but still keeping the temperatures in the 60s. there and climbing as we get towards monday and tuesday for upper 60s and 70s in the city. but nothing too extreme. we'll keep those mid 80s around the bay shore even approaching 90 for like redwood city, hayward and fremont. so getting hot for a day, a day or two. and then we should see temperatures moderate winds today up to about 25 miles an hour. so that sea

breeze with us. here's a look at the hotter day as we get into tuesday. near 100 in antioch, upper 90s in concord. here in the mid 80s around the bay shore. low 90s for you in santa rosa. i think that will be warmer than 65. we should see about 70 in the city. and then as for wednesday, that will begin the cool down along the coast there. but those 80s remain along the bay. and look at that 90 in san jose, this is thursday and temperatures will cool off. a weak system allowing for pleasant weather, but nothing too dramatic. not any swings of five and ten degrees. maybe five degrees, not ten degrees. as we get into that thursday friday time period, upper 70s in oakland. that's a warm one for you. looking at 82 today in san mateo, 90 by the delta getting pretty warm there. so this is a big change from yesterday. the dew points going down. so it's going to feel better out there even though the temperatures will be warm. upper 80s santa rosa and the accuweather seven day forecast. we've got sunshine pretty much for everyone today and it will

be warmer 80s around the bay 90 inland upper 60s half moon bay, and then by monday and tuesday everyone continues that 3 to 5 degree climb. wednesday, some relief. and then by the end of the workweek, it's still feeling like summer. pretty nice out there. so a nice week. but you know, we have to watch it as we get into that peak heat. >> good to know. and you mentioned the park fire now 71% contained, up from just 63% a couple days ago. so certainly that rain helped. yeah for sure. thank you lisa. a reminder that you can watch all our newscasts live and on demand through the abc seven bay area connected tv app. it's available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv, and roku. you can download

alex counted six different laterals one illegal forward pass and tackle alfredo gutierrez nearly took it into the end zone anyway. niners head coach kyle shanahan, among the many who enjoyed it. >> it was pretty cool. i mean, that was one of the more fun plays that i've seen, you know, it was frustrating to end there in the tie. you don't ever want to end in a tie, but i'm definitely glad that we don't have to go to overtime in the preseason. so i'd much rather have that. it was a real fun play, but, all for nothing. >> and that is sports. have a wonderful sunday. >> developing news now. hurricane zone is approaching hawaii this morning. it increased to a category one hurricane from a tropical storm overnight. forecasters expect the hurricane to bring flooding and wind damage to the big island, and they also expect to raise wildfire risks in the drier areas due to the breezy conditions. a tropical storm warning has been issued for all of the big island. the hawaii tourism authority recommends

people postpone outdoor activities. as for us here at home, no rain in sight at least for right now. right, liz? >> that's right. you know, we're looking at temperatures warming up quickly today. monday. tuesday. we had some flooding near roseville in the sacramento valley yesterday. from that system. so they had the thunderstorms in the mountains and we had some pretty good downpours. but now it's all about high pressure building in allowing for a quicker warm up and some fog at the coast, some limited cooling there, but they'll even see the temperatures increase as well. so it is 59 in oakland, 60 in hayward, sonoma. good morning. 50 degrees and a look outside. nice and clear here. but there is some patchy dense fog right along the coast. so keep that in mind if you're headed to the shoreline. that will burn back in parts of the bay. so we will look for some sunshine at our beaches. sunny and warmer today and then warm to hot as we get into monday and tuesday with some slight cooling on

wednesday. this is hurricane joan with wind gusts of 90 miles an hour, winds at 80 miles an hour, and moving to the west at ten miles an hour continues on that southward track of the big island. so they're going to see the most impacts right on through sunday night. and that will allow for the heavy rain, the gusty winds, possible mudslides and rip currents close to the islands there. but you'll notice the rainfall here anywhere from 10 to 20in of rain. and then some impacts on maui as well. but elsewhere, not so much. we are still looking at that active pacific where we have a stronger hurricane right behind joan. but this will not be affecting any of the islands. it is going from a three to a four kind of fluctuating hurricane gilma here. and this will continue to advance on to the west, and then it will weaken in the next couple of days. but that's a pretty strong system. so this is when the activity picks up in the pacific. back home though 80s for you in san jose looking at 85 today there. so a big warm up

83 by sunnyvale and looking at more 80s towards redwood city 81 palo alto. so warm day here. you get that afternoon sea breeze but still millbrae warming up there as well. upper 70s south city and san francisco. beautiful day at 70 degrees. you head up towards marin county and wine country. we're in the mid to upper 80s and it will be getting pretty warm there as we approach 87. santa rosa 82. in napa, vallejo, upper 80s and on the east bay here. check it out. near 80 in oakland today, 70 about 80 in san leandro with those upper 70s in berkeley, you head inland and we're looking at temperatures topping out around 90 today in concord, 89 in livermore, the accuweather seven day forecast. looking at a beautiful day today, sunny and warmer. it gets pretty hot monday and tuesday. so if you're sensitive to the heat, keep that in mind. take some breaks. stay indoors, try to get some ac and then wednesday the heat will be
