winds right at the coast 60. sfo and fremont. as we look up to the north, the fog has not filled in around the bay. 58 in sonoma, 51 santa rosa. so we will look for the temperatures this morning. a little milder in spots and slightly cooler as well. it kind of depends on where you are. 1030 we're sunny in our inland valleys and then as we get towards the afternoon, you can see how that fog pulls away from the coast. upper 80s to near 90, inland mid 70s to near 80 around the bay. stephanie. >> lisa. thank you. developing news now. the most recent stabbing of a santa rosa student happened weeks after the school district said it was making safety a top priority. this latest incident happened at elsie allen high school canceling friday night's football game. abc seven news reporter tara campbell has the reaction from parents. >> a student fight turned stabbing friday at elsie allen high school in santa rosa, putting the school on lockdown and parents on edge. >> it's nerve wracking. it seems

stressful. >> santa rosa police called to the school around 1230 in the afternoon, where they arrested a 14 year old boy. police releasing this photo saying the boy pulled a knife out during an altercation with a 13 year old boy and stabbed him. two other students also got into the fight, kicking the boy with the knife in the head. school officials sending a message to parents detailing the incident, and asking that students and staff remain vigilant and report anything they may hear or see to help us ensure school safety. police believe the incident is gang related, taking the 14 year old into custody on the scene along with one of the other students, and they're working to identify the fourth student involved. while the 13 year old was taken to a hospital with a non-life threatening stab wound in his back, santa rosa police chief coming out in a statement saying there needs to be a renewed focus on getting to the root causes of these violent incidents, saying it can far too easily lead to a deadly encounter. i mean, i don't know

how you can search backpacks or, you know, figure out how to make sure no one has any weapons because that's a whole different level of fighting. the stabbing comes just weeks after the santa rosa city schools district committed to making student safety a top priority. this school year, the district has been struggling in past years with gang violence and fighting on campuses, even seeing a stabbing death. >> school is supposed to be a, you know, safe place and where you come to study and, you know, but, you know, things like this happen, you know, it's kind of shocking. yeah. >> hoping for a safer place by the time his daughter reaches high school. >> it makes you nervous because you're out there working, you know, and then you leave your son's at school, and then, you know, things like this happen. >> the police chief friday saying they will continue working closely with the school district and are committed to making student safety a priority. tara campbell, abc seven news and san francisco police are investigating a reported shooting that left a girl severely injured. >> officers were called to a

strange case for somebody to drive all the way from arizona to the city of dublin and commit this type of a crime. i mean, in dublin, we don't see these type of crimes here. we know that they were associated associates on social media platforms. we just don't know what those conversations are yet. >> dileep's wife says her husband and the suspect met a few times in person at gaming events more than a decade ago. police are still trying to determine a motive. a russian river bridge is now closed after a dam failed in guerneville, right near santa rosa. the popular crossing is only open during the summertime, so it did close early. you can see the collapsed section of the dam, which is likely due to erosion. crews removed some of the dam's boards yesterday to release pressure. now this could cause swifter water downstream. the dam will stay in place for the weekend, but is set to be removed after that and the boat ramp remains open as we head to break. let's check in with lisa. good morning.

pedestrian and bike lanes and multiple lanes for vehicles has been expanded and protected. >> there's three lanes in each direction, plus a auxiliary lane that feeds the on and off ramps, so a total of four lanes. it will really address the congestion, and it's safer for bikers and pedestrians. >> but you may not see it when you're driving along the path. it's all happening below the road. instead of fighting for their place on the busy street, there's a dedicated path for bikes and pedestrians to cross without any concern. >> prior to this project being opened, this was a terrible, terrible gap in the in the network for biking and walking. and there are really important places where people want to bike to and from and walk to and from on either side of the freeway. >> this is one of the more important corridors in the south bay. it's a major connector between san jose and santa clara. now all modes of transportation, from pedestrians and bikes to vehicles and public transportation can travel safer and easier. >> we made a significant difference in people's lives

through the improvements in pedestrian and bicycle safety, and for the flow of traffic in this area. the improvements we made here will decrease travel times by 20%. a commuter who goes through this corridor on a daily basis put it best when he told us finally in the south bay, dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> san francisco is trying to build a better bay area through night markets. we saw the return of the sunset night market yesterday, and you may remember it drew huge crowds last fall. abc seven news reporter lauren martinez was there to see if there was a repeat. >> this is the best of the sunset and the best of san francisco right here on irving street. >> thousands of people headed to the sunset night market hungry for food and a great time. the mother. >> this was the event's second year. >> san francisco supervisor joel engardio said last year, they

had a crowd of 10,000 people show up, which led to some changes. >> we didn't know what to expect, so it was a good problem to have when we ran out of food and too many people showed up. so this year we decided to double the length. it's actually more than double the size instead of three blocks. >> food, drink and shopping vendors were spread out over seven blocks. carmen, whose family runs the tasty pastry. they weren't expecting the influx of people last year, so they set up a table outside. >> we weren't ready for the amount of people, so we're like, oh my gosh, this is actually insane. so leading up to this, we're like, let's just get in on this, have fun and join the people or whole families here joining us. even my grandma is here today. >> some of their known specials include barbecue, baked buns and curry wontons. >> i think, like the whole chinese culture of eating together, eating at night and having a night market, it's something that's really ingrained in our culture. >> one of the highlights the stinky tofu eating contest. >> i love stinky tofu because i spent a summer in hong kong when i was 11. >> once the horn started, six brave men and women took to the

challenge. our photographer, brian yuen said he could smell it from this vantage point. the second place winner. well, the line is long to try some, so i thought i'll give it a shot. on second thought, i'll leave it to the pros. we did see lots of families and furry friends enjoying the delicious smells wafting through the sunset night market. >> it's great to see more things happening in the community, so overall, it's just really nice to see more things like this happening in san francisco. >> lauren martinez, abc seven news. >> all right. take a look. haze is visible in the bay area from a wildfire called the coffee pot fire. the fire was sparked by lightning and has been burning for almost a month in sequoia national park. that's in tulare county. it's now burned more than 7500 acres and has led to evacuation orders and warnings. so a good reminder as you're barbecuing this weekend,

possibly camping to always be on alert. while the rain helped us, it's still very dry out there, right? >> that's right, stephanie. and, you know, you may have noticed, you know, just a little bit of haze out there the past day or so with some moderate air quality. and that's certainly what that was from. but overall, no impacts here in the bay area in fact, we are looking at a typical pattern here with low clouds and fog that are going to peel back to the coast. in fact, we got that clearing yesterday and i think we should see that again the next couple of days as the system offshore just kind of churns up that marine layer. 56 in san rafael, we are 60 in fremont with 63 in san jose. and a look from mount tam. and you can see just a little bit of fog there. so this morning we'll call it partly cloudy. the holiday weekend mild to warm. so we're going to get into some cooler weather tomorrow before a ridge builds in. and we're talking about triple digit heat returning. so enjoy the next couple of days because as we look at the holiday weekend this certainly doesn't tell the whole

story. but it gives you an idea that we're going to be in our regular pattern somewhat with the fog to sun, and then that cool down as the system passes us to the north, allowing for temperatures to drop off and as soon as it passes us to the north, that ridge builds in and we'll get into just some slight warming on monday. but wait till you see the extended outlook. big changes there. there's a look at that fog that wants to push in, but i don't think it's going to have a whole lot of progress doing that. and as it pulls back in that system is close enough offshore. it is kind of disrupting the marine layer and once again into sunday night into monday. it looks like we have a lot of fog. we will have that wind and cooler temperatures, but sunny skies as a result. and as we get into your tuesday, this is what is really kind of eye opening, right? we just got rid of the triple digit heat. had such a hot summer in july, a bit of a break in august, and now we're back to 100 in concord, 80 to near 90 around the bay and even the coast warms up. look at that

70s and 80s from the coast there on monday, and then that's tuesday. and the hottest day should be on wednesday. we don't really see any changes on wednesday. look what happens on thursday. we'll see the numbers still really hot, but it looks like the heat wants to ease a little bit. and this could be about a 2 or 3 day event. there will be a system to the north of us that hopefully will suppress some of that heat by the time we get into that thursday time frame. highs today from the upper 60s near average san francisco, a nice day out there, 74 in oakland. look for the low 80s in san jose and topping off to near 90 inland. but that delta breeze will be with us. we're looking at the winds up to about 2930 miles an hour. so that will keep the numbers pretty comfortable there. mid 80s santa rosa and the accuweather seven day forecast. hoping for some sun there at the coast the first day of the month, allowing for cooler than average temperatures. nice for the holiday, just a couple degrees warmer and then the heat

spikes on tuesday. wednesday is the hottest day. looking at that heat lingering into thursday, and then we'll start to see hopefully that easing by the end of next week. so summer still is going to make a comeback. stephanie >> all right lisa thank you. just ahead to rent or buy in the south bay. a new report shows buying a home in this city is the most costly
