ends with a bang as people set off thousands of illegal

fireworks all across the bay area, and some sparked brushfires that kept firefighters on alert overnight. we are tracking the continuing high fire risk and record heat into the weekend. plus, calming concerns president biden assuring voters that he is fit for office as he continues to face pressure to drop out. we're live from washington with how biden plans to convince not only voters, but leaders within his own party. this is today in the bay. and good morning to you. on this friday, i'm marcus washington, and i'm kris sanchez. i'm in for laura garcia. it has been a brutally hot week, and it's not over yet, but meteorologist kari hall is tracking the temperatures for today and beyond. and i think finally, we're starting to see something in the long term forecast. yeah, we'll have to look way into next week before we get some real relief, but at least we do for much of the bay area. start out with our cooler mornings, and right now we're at

69 degrees in san jose. it's 63 in dublin, and we're in the mid 60s for concord. look at the north bay, santa rosa starting out at 54 degrees and 59, in sonoma and in napa. so it is a nice refreshing start to the day. compared to what's ahead. we're back up to the upper 90s in the north bay 101 for santa rosa, concord, 106 degrees, 102 for livermore and 92 for san jose. we are going to have another hot one. while it's going to be mild in san francisco, san mateo in the upper 70s, and then looking at tomorrow, also that wide range in temperatures going from mid 70s all the way up to 113 degrees. that's what we'll see tomorrow in ukiah. so we'll continue to track this heat and we'll take a look at that distant forecast. and when those numbers come down in a few minutes, mike, you're tracking something on the rails. yeah, it sounds very similar to what we had last week. and no red line service. it sounds like there's an equipment issue trackside

issue reported may have been related to the overnight maintenance crews out there. whatever the case, you have to make a transfer if you normally would use the red line getting over toward the millbrae area, you'll transfer over at the macarthur station. the signs overhead will give you a little more detail, and we'll give you a little more detail once we get that from bart as well. now, you can hit the roads. there are easy, clear highways now around the bay. as you would imagine, but again, no red line service now directly taking you from over in the east bay over to millbrae. you'll have to transfer at macarthur back to you. all right. thanks, mike. well, those hot temperatures we've been experiencing keeping fire crews alert and busy with the fires around the bay area overnight. now, in antioch, crews put out a brush fire. this is burning on lotus street near hillcrest. firefighters at that scene last night working near what looks like the backyard of a home. now, a fence on that property appeared to be damaged, and it's unclear if the fire was started by fireworks. we do have a crew there on the scene. of course we're going to bring you more information as we get it this morning. now to a live look at the scene of another brush

fire that is now out in san jose. this is east of almaden in the boulder ridge area. crews do remain on scene, but you can see there the flames are now out, but at its peak, this is what it looked like last night. firefighters told people to avoid that area, but again, it appears to be clear now. no structures were threatened and the night sky lit up across the bay area for the 4th of july. and at least in the video you're seeing none of this was legal. in some cases, illegal fireworks led to brush fires and tense moments for residents. and then in one case, the mishap at a scheduled event was followed by some very tense moments in the south bay today in the bay's ginger conejero saab live for us this morning and ginger things could have really gotten a lot worse in this case, right? that's right, marcus and chris. and thankfully it did not. firefighters got a hold of things very quickly, but what it does show is just how fast things can change with our current conditions. now let's talk about the professional

fireworks show in san jose got started around 920 last night at lake cunningham park. people were enjoying it, but then a few minutes in, their attention turned to a small brush fire on the hill. crews got that out quickly, but then more flames popped up in a few other spots. council member domingo candelas was there at the show and says they were prepared, with firefighters standing by. that's why we do these events with the firefighters on hand so they can be able to respond to, you know, small little fires, little brush fires that happen. obviously that's not what we want. but you know what? prepare for the worst. well, part of the reason this event was planned was so there would be less of an incentive for people to use illegal fireworks. now, we know that incentive doesn't always work. illegal fireworks are suspected of starting another fire in martinez in near central avenue, you can see fireworks were even going off above the flames as crews rushed to get

the fire under control. firefighters say about three acres burned there. now, as we go into the weekend, fire crews remain on alert because we do know there are still hot conditions, hot temperatures and of course the fireworks. they don't just stay or they don't just happen on 4th of july. they happen prior to the holiday as well as after in in the east bay ginger conejero saab today in the bay. all right. yeah. i heard some coming in this morning at 330. you and me both. nbc bay area app. great way to stay informed on that high fire risk. you can get up to the minute updates sent straight to your phone for any weather alerts or breaking news alerts, and you can download it for free for all devices. well, the 4th of july holiday not interrupting the race for the white house. this is as the decision 2024 continues. now, president biden continues to face pressure. this is after his poor showing of performance there at the first presidential debate with former president donald trump. biden is asking voters to focus on his

three and a half years of accomplishments. not just that one night saying sometimes you just have a bad night now. meanwhile, donald trump remains on the attack today in the bay's brie jackson joins us live from washington, brie president biden is really trying to ease those concerns. he is. that's right. good morning, chris marcus. so president biden suggested to his allies that he may limit evening events in order to get more sleep. and he's ramping up his activity this week or this month, rather now this as the president faces questions about his ability to win in november. president biden, celebrating the 4th of july holiday at the white house honoring the country's past, present and future. decades later, we must look at ourselves and ask the question, will we stand for freedom again? we stand for democracy. we stand together as americans. i believe we will and we can. questions

remain about the president's political future. following his poor performance at the first presidential debate, former president trump, seizing on the criticism and sharing this vide, making the false claim that biden is quitting the race, he just quit. you know, he's quitting the race a few democrats have publicly called on biden to step aside, including congressman lloyd doggett. most continue to show support while also expressing concerns. i think we have to take it day by day. we've got to see the president get out there, show that he's got the stamina, talk to rectly, to the american people. the american public is divided. i love joe and i love kamala, especially. my concern is, yes, like everybody else age. but the bottom line is i can't vote for the other guy consciously. if joe biden is on the ballot in november, i think that bodes better for trump. but

i do think he's incapable. the president insists he's staying in the race. you got me, man. i'm not going anywhere. the biden-harris ticket is heading into a critical stretch for their campaign, seeking to convince voters and donors that biden is fit for office. and today, president biden is scheduled to campaign in wisconsin. he'll also sit down for his first televised interview since the debate. marcus kris all right. we'll be waiting to see what happens there. i mean, we're hanging on every word really at this point. thank you. so much. brie. it's 508 for you, right now, taking a live look in san francisco, getting started with the weekend. that doesn't look too bad there. i know right? that's like i'm not too bad there. yeah, it does look nice and cool. we're even seeing the return of fog over the bay. so this is a look at a wide view from our sutro tower camera that's going to cool off the temperatures in the city, but we

are still looking at some upper 70s there, just a few degrees shy of a record. take a look at santa rosa's forecast for today and what the record was in 2020. so it's going to be even hotter today than it was in 2020. that's the possibility. and we'll be very close in livermore, in san jose, i do think will stay well below that record that was set back in 1905. so still a hot day. we'll talk about the weekend coming up in a few minutes. mike's been looking around and find us some lower gas prices. yeah, some folks leaving, some folks staying and some people just moving around. this friday for the weekend, a popular price point is on the state's leader list. it's 385. it's a lot of places, but we're focusing on cupertino, car wash on north deanza boulevard. that's the best we have in the bay. no others under four bucks in the east bay, we have concord, which got the lowest with 404 at dimond gas and mart on oak grove road and on the peninsula san mateo county's low is in burlingame. it's 419. that's the best we could find there. a and a gas on broadway when we say best we could find, we find it

on gasbuddy.com. on the roadways, you'll find a smooth drive. the issue is the ride on the rails. no red line service right now between richmond and millbrae. you will have to transfer at the macarthur station. there will be overhead signs posting the transfer information, and that is continuing probably throughout the day. it sounds like a similar problem we had last week, although we don't have those details right now. again, red line service bridging between richmond and millbrae. you're going to have to transfer at macarthur back to you. all right. good to know. thanks, mike. well san francisco's open. i hacked, but the company they're not worrying. yeah. next year on today in the bay. we're going to give you those details on information. hackers managed to obtain and why. so far, openai is not calling this a

flex alert! flex alert! a power outage is looming. that's just alert, he's always getting worked up about something. flex alerts notify us of preventable power outages. that way we always know when to help stop one. ok flex, just drop some knowledge on me again. oh, ok i will - i'll turn our thermostat to 78... i'll unplug the blender. the hair dryer. - my blankie? - yep! - let's talk about it! - nope. ooo, we can save the laundry til' the morning! oh, yes please! oh! little things like this help save our power and help save us from outages. with flex alerts, the power is ours.

for another hot day in santa clara. we're starting out with some upper 60s, and we'll be right at 70 degrees at 8:00. and seeing those temperatures heating up again very quickly as we head toward noon, it's going to be hot not only today, but the next few days. we'll take a look into next week to see if we find some relief coming up. and not only today, but the last few days we've had very light traffic flow. here's the richmond bridge heading over towards san rafael. we missed the one car we've seen in the last 60s there is still traffic, but out of richmond to millbrae there is an issue on the bart line. no red line service continues because of a trackside

issue. we'll continue to follow that. we'll explain more coming up. sepulveda now, from cnbc. let's start with wall street. it's set for a flood open as investors return from the 4th of july holiday and ahead of the big economic news of the week. it's the jobs report and it's expected to show hiring slowed in june with unemployment holding steady at 4. now that, combined with the recent run of subdued data, could open the door for the federal reserve to cut interest rates this year. now, minutes from the fed's most recent meeting signaling they're in no rush to lower rates, the dow, the nasdaq and the s&p 500 are on track for a positive week with the nasdaq and the s&p at fresh record highs. a pair of buyout firms are reportedly raising their takeover offer for macy's to just under $7 billion. now the wall street journal says arkhouse management and brigade capital would be buying shares of the department store they

don't already own. macy's ended a board fight with those firms in april by adding two of their nominees to the board in may. macy's reported sales fell in the first quarter, but less than wall street expected, and a hacker got access to openai's internal messaging system last year and stole details about the company's technology. the new york times reports. the hacker lifted the information from an online forum but didn't get into the systems where openai, that's the maker of chatgpt houses and build its artificial intelligence, the company told employees and the board about the breach, but decided not to share the news publicly as no information about customers or partners was stolen. it also didn't believe the breach was a national security threat. guys it's always we talk about open ai. we love it in one way. but then another way you're like, oh. and then here's another

thing. i wonder yes i know, i know. it's the sort of love hate thing with it. yeah. i wonder if the hackers used openai. like, how do you hack into. yeah. oh, that's a good one. well, maybe good. thanks, alana. well, as you plan your weekend, we have to tell you that some bay area parks are still off limits because of the ongoing heat and fire danger. east bay regional parks district tells us they are going to keep some of their parks closed. at least through today. we can also tell you that the anthony chabot campground will be closed through the weekend. other destinations could open tomorrow, but the good news is swim centers and parks that are along the shoreline where it's nice and cool. those will remain open. all right, it's time to get a look at that forecast for us. of course, we have been talking about it's hot in some places. then you go some places and it's nice and cool. yeah, i think the coast is going to be one of those nice and cool places that we'll see over the weekend as we take a look at where we're starting this morning, it is already warm at 69 degrees in

san jose. we're used to mid 50s, so this does feel warm to us. and we're at 52 in san rafael in dublin it's now at 66 degrees and we're starting out the morning in san francisco at 55. let's head to pacifica, because i do think the coastline is going to be so popular after a scorcher of a weekend, we're going to see those temperatures there in the low 60s. throughout the morning at noontime, it's 65 degrees, and we are going to see those temperatures reach about 66 degrees and hold steady for several hours. and then seeing the fog returning later. this evening to cool things off once again as the wind picks up. so once again, a lot of people are trying to escape the dangerous heat. it feels like it's been forever dealing with these hot temperatures. and so you're thinking, what is normal for early july in santa rosa? we're used to seeing temperatures at about 84 degrees. but today we're going to hit a high of

101. and that may set a new record in concord 106 today. that's very much above average. and in san francisco also. well above average. we should be in the upper 60s today. it will be 79, 102 in livermore and 92 in san jose. so we're seeing the widespread heat once again that may get slightly more intense tomorrow for some of those inland valleys and vacaville. we'll see a high tomorrow afternoon up to 107. it's not backing off for much of the east bay, as well as the south bay, but the coastline is going to be one of the places where we do see some much milder weather, with some upper 70s throughout the weekend in san francisco in morgan hill, we're dealing with this extreme heat that will ease up a bit for sunday, but once again, this is still hot, still above average, and we're going to see that extend into the middle to end of next week. so we are instead of seeing highs over 100 degrees, we'll see highs in the 90s through next

week. yay hey in the low 60s for the early morning hours and san francisco is going to return to the 70s for the start of next week. mike, you're seeing a delay for some crossing the bay. yeah, but it's not for folks driving the bay bridge that's moving very smoothly. right now across i-80. drivers are fine both back and forth between the city and the east bay. the issue is on the red line. if you were planning on taking the red line this morning, you will not. similar to last week, there's no red line service, but you can make a transfer at the macarthur station so you can get on board the train at your normal start point. you'll transfer over if you're going to millbrae or if you're coming back from sfo, you'll have to make a transfer as well. the signs will post the details, but basically you're going to have to make that bridge point at the macarthur station over here. now traffic on the roadway is very light today, right now, and probably continuing through much of the morning, not seeing any major issues, although there's a little slowing on the incline at the bay bridge. so there probably more traffic than

yesterday when there was almost none visible on some of the cameras. south bay along the peninsula and easy drive over even out of here. look at the altamont pass, just like yesterday. no slowing shows up on 580 coming out of the altamont. so that does indicate that we're looking at at least light traffic for a while. back to you. thank you. mike. 520 and next year on today in the bay nbc bay area responds a company sold him a new phone, plus the promise of an $800 credit. but nearly a year later, nada. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura, nbc bay of july

holiday, it could not happen at a worse time. take a look at those bags. those are full of dead and rotting fish. lower oxygen levels in central park's lake elizabeth led to that big fish die off, and crews yesterday were pulling out dead carp, catfish and trout. the fish are essentially suffocating now, even though teams are now trying to pump in water to increase the oxygen levels in the water, it's leaving some visitors unsettled. i noticed the smell initially. that was it was really weird because this is usually where we come for fresh air and things like that, but it's i don't think we'll be

enjoying this anymore. not not for a minute. central park workers say the cleanup and the pumping operation will continue for at least the next few days, or until the heat lets up, so you can go back there at some point. all right, so we all love a good deal, but sometimes the deals we think we're getting are duds. well, one one option turn to our consumer investigator. investigator chris chmura joins us now with a recent resolution from his team. reporter happy friday. lots of companies try to lure us in with promises of discounts or future credits. but each week we hear from viewers still waiting for those promises to pan out. like kyle in dublin, a cell phone store rep said if he upgraded to a new phone, he would get an $800 credit, so he got the new phone, but he didn't get the credit. despite requesting it for nearly a year. so kyle turned to us for service. we contacted the

company. now the company is giving kyle his $800 credit. we've gotten quite a few complaints recently about phone trade in credits that didn't actually materialize. well, if you're looking to upgrade, make sure you get that promotion in writing before you agree to it. that way you have evidence. if the company doesn't hold up its end of the bargain. if you're getting no reception on a cell phone complaint or anything else, let us know. scan the qr code on screen right now to fill out our consumer complaint form online. have a great weekend! you too! kris. next top stories we're covering for you today include that heat, high temperatures will remain through at least part of the start of next week, but we have some tips from health experts on what to look for when it comes to the most serious heat related conditions. we're live in antioch, where a brush fire is now out, but you can still smell and see what it left behind. it

was a terrifying night for people that live in that neighborhood up the hill. we'll give you the details on that a more. stay withnd

am i relaxing? in an airport? okayyy alaska airlines... this lounge is nice!

like handcrafted espresso bevvies, hot food, free wifi nice! and these comfy chairs... this puts my condo to shame. it'd be crazy if i just missed my flight and broke my lease and made this my home... forever. ♪♪ i wonder if anyone would notice. ♪♪ neighbors to flee their homes. we are live with new overnight details on the fire that had panicking families, fearing the worst. a stern warning from police, their message to anyone

even thinking of participating in what has become a hugely chaotic, unsanctioned event. last year in san francisco. also, keeping our shores clean after all of the fun of the 4th of july. today is the filthiest day of the year when it comes to our beaches and coast sides. we'll show you how you can help keep them clean. this is today in the bay thanks so much for joining us on this 5th of july. we're still celebrating independence, right? i'm kris sanchez, i'm in for laura garcia, and i'm marcus washington. it's the fifth. that doesn't mean continue to pop those fireworks. yeah! stop it, stop that. all right. but look, we're going to keep things moving with meteorologist kari hall because she has a look at what we can expect. we certainly want people to stop, you know, shooting off those fireworks, because in some areas, it's still dry. so dry. and i'm still tired. okay i know, not able to sleep last night. the last one i remember was about 2:00. oh, my goodness. come on now we're

trying to sleep and we're going to have some more hot temperatures today. and still that high fire danger continues as we are taking a look at the golden gate bridge. oh, so nice to see the return of fog this morning. and that's going to help cool things off there. we're in the mid 50s to start out our morning. it is 60 in fremont upper 60s to start out in martinez and byron you're at 77 to start out your day brentwood it's going to be another hot one. we're going from our morning in the upper 60s to 78 degrees at 8:00. at 10:00 it's 90 degrees and 98 degrees at noon. we're headed up to 108 degrees here. we're going to see those temperatures, maybe even a little bit hotter than it was yesterday. and some of our inland east bay, as well as the north bay with santa rosa up to 101 degrees. we'll talk about the weekend and we'll see if there's any relief or maybe where you can go and find some cooler temperatures coming up in a few minutes. thank you so

much, kari. well a late night scare for some east bay residents last night as a grass fire briefly sent families scrambling for safety today in the bay's ginger conejero saab live for us in antioch. okay, so, ginger, do we know if firefighters know exactly how this all started? we do not. marcus, good morning to you and kris. we do not know the cause of it yet. we do know that the fire is now out. but you can really still smell the smoke. you can see what it left behind. all that dry grass was burned on that hill. and you can also see just how close it came to those homes up the hill. that neighborhood, breathing a sigh of relief this morning because it came so close to threatening those homes. now you can see from some video from last night that people from the neighborhood were evacuated. they lined the streets late at night, including one elderly man who watched this very scary scene unfold, him from his

wheelchair on the sidewalk. now the fire burned on lotus street near hillcrest. firefighters on the scene were working near what looks like the backyard of a home. a fence appears to be damaged, and a man who evacuated with his fiance and his two year old son says their night quickly took a terrifying turn. rushing at you like a movie, like it was so insane. and then i have. i'm thankful for good neighbors. another neighbor down the hill just started repeatedly. it's time to get out. that's how fast it's coming. anything that you left, you left nothing. no time for anything. it's a hillside. it's dry grass. it's coming really fast. those are some very bad conditions to work with. with the fire. now, the fire was reported shortly after ten evacuations were in place around 1030. and contra costa fire knocked the fire down shortly after 11. it is unclear once again what the cause of the fire is, or if it was started by fireworks. now moving on to the south bay fire crews were also hard at work. we're showing you

some video from san jose where san jose fire responded to a tier two vegetation fire east of almaden lake and south san jose. it caused a bit of traffic, but fortunately no structures there were threatened. now that fire as well as the fire here in antioch, fortunately both are out this morning. i cannot imagine people in those homes. you know what they went through last night. but at the very least, i think the best case scenario panned out here. marcus and chris, again, like you were saying, people need to stay away from fireworks. we don't know if that was a cause of this yet, but we got to help ourselves where we can. yeah, right. and i mean, just to see how close that fire gets to homes, it's just so scary. thanks, ginger. and, you know, there is some good news on the brush fire that started early tuesday near calistoga. it is now more than 50% contained the toll fire. it's being called has burned more than 40 acres in rugged terrain. firefighters there are facing added challenges with the red flag

conditions. the cause is not yet known and happening today. the man accused of pushing an elderly woman off of a bart platform to her death is expected in court. that inciden, happening sunday at san francisco's powell station, powell street station. that's when police say 74 year old corazon don don was pushed onto the tracks by transient travis belmont as that train approached, later striking her. police aren't saying if that victim knew her attacker. an arraignment is scheduled for 130. this afternoon. also today in san francisco, a 79 year old woman accused of plowing her car into a family of four, killing them all is due in court for her arraignment. it happened in march at a bus stop. this is near the west portal. bart station. mary fong lieu is facing four counts of felony vehicular manslaughter. investigators say that that family was waiting at the bus stop when her suv jumped the sidewalk. the couple and their two very young children died.

happening tomorrow or maybe not happening tomorrow. san francisco police are telling people not to show up for the dolores park hill bomb. the unsanctioned skate gathering has been an unofficial tradition for years, but last year it just got out of hand. police moved in to break up the crowd, but then they clashed with participants. dozens of people were arrested, more than 100 people were ticketed, and later some people filed civil lawsuits, which only some of them have been resolved. police are trying to send a firm message this year to stay away or face arrest, but this year's event is still being advertised and has not received the proper permits. today's san jose police tell us they will reveal more details about the shooting death of a man early yesterday. this happened near the kaiser medical center on liska lane just before five in the morning. police say a man was shot and died there at the scene and in social media video, we see a car that crashed

into a garage there and then caught fire. here's a look at the scene a few hours later. you can see that white car more clearly, and the burn marks on that garage door. at this point, it's not clear if the victim had been driving that car, but we hope to get answers about that today. 536 for you this morning, and here we are, july 5th and the day after, always being known as the dirtiest beach day of the year. this is all according to surfrider. this is a nonprofit ocean conservation group. well, yesterday lake tahoe beaches, they were packed there with a lot of those visitors. and for the first time in several years, that lake was actually full. it's all thanks to the recent snow pack that we've seen. now, today, a nonprofit group, they're going to head out there to clean up in hopes of keeping that beach looking nice and clean. so last year, volunteers actually picked up 6,000 pounds of garbage out there. message really is that tahoe is a beautiful, special place and it's a privilege to come here and enjoy this. we want to make sure everyone has

that. so by just taking a few extra steps when you're here, you can ensure that we keep tahoe blue now and in the future. it looks so beautiful behind him right? yeah, but you keep it that way. garbage. yeah. like goodness. pick up your stuff. all right. look. the 11th annual keep tahoe red, white and blue beach cleanup starts at 8:00. this morning. so if you know some folks out there, call them and say, hey, get out there and go help clean up. hey, laura. all right, here's a live look at san jose. one of the many places experiencing the intense heat. this is the kind of heat that can lead to heat related illness in a lot of people. experts say now is a crucial time to get familiar with the symptoms of heat stroke. people who are having heat stroke will have a high body temperature, as well as a fast, strong pulse. it can start with a headache and red hot, dry skin. you can feel dizzy, could feel like you're going to pass out. people with heat exhaustion, meanwhile, will sweat heavily, could get cramps, or feel tired and weak. ucsf doctor peter chin-hong says the heat can really put a strain on your heart, especially for

people with preexisting conditions. to me, heat exhaustion is kind of the warning signal. you know, in the car when you have the coolant alarm go off, but the car is still functioning, you want to do something before the car doesn't work and you can't do anything about it. and heat stroke, no matter how hard you try to cool someone, it's very difficult. and you're going to get impact on the heart, the lungs and the kidneys. so if you are seeing signs of heat exhaustion, try to cool down. have people drink water, maybe use ice packs. but if you think that somebody suffering from that more serious heat stroke, you have to call 911. heat stroke can have long term impacts on the heart and the kidneys, so make sure don't exercise out in the heat today. all right. well look a live look for you in san francisco a place where it's not so hot. this is over at the chase center this morning where basketball fans this weekend will get a first glimpse of the future of the warriors and three other teams the lakers, kings and miami

heat. now, this is the return of the california classic. that's a brief nba summer league featuring recent draft picks, second year pros and other young hopefuls trying to make their team next season. so the warriors are expected to feature guys like brandon podziemski and trace jackson davis. the lakers indicate recent selection bronny james. that's lebron james's son. he's going to take part. the games take place tomorrow, sunday and next wednesday. meteorologist kari hall is here. look, a lot of heat going to be there with the excitement, but not temperature wise. well yeah, that's going to be one of the great places to go escape the heat and you'll be inside chase center. and. yeah miami is going to bring the heat. but you know, we've got something for that and we're going to see temperatures in time for that game in the mid 70s. and then also a very breezy wind there in the city. we're going to see a very nice afternoon in the city. but away from the coast we're going to have some hot temperatures. so if you plan to go to the alameda

county fair last weekend for it, it's going to be 105 degrees there in pleasanton today, 107 tomorrow. but at least we do see temperatures cooling down quite a bit. will be in the low 60s. and then on sunday we start out at 60 but then go back up to 102 degrees in the fillmore. this weekend there will be the jazz festival both saturday and sunday, and here's a look at the trend in temperatures. for the most part, staying in the 60s there with a lot of sunshine. so some really nice weather there. and i do think a lot of people will be heading to the beach this weekend. stinson beach will be in the 60s from today through sunday. a little bit warmer for santa cruz with some morning fog that will quickly clear out. will be in the upper 70s, 76 for tomorrow and 69 on sunday. monterey always keeping it cool with the mid 60s there in paso robles. i don't know if you want to deal with this, but it's going to be 114 degrees tomorrow. say that. so casually. really hot weather there and sunday 99 for a high. if you're

going to la this weekend, it's a little warm. not too bad. we'll be in the 80s there around downtown la. and mike, you continue that alert for bart riders. we do carry. it sounds the same as last week, but it's the same area or same line affected but not the same issue. so they're hoping to get some track repair work done in time for some restoration of red line service. right now, no red line running that will take you between richmond and millbrae. you can still take that same journey, but you'll make a transfer over at the macarthur station, heading to the peninsula. coming back from the peninsula, you'll board a train getting over toward richmond, but you'll make again the transfer. i'm sorry you make it a train transfer at macarthur as well. watch those overhead signs. they'll explain more as the situation evolves. now you can hit the roads. it's an easier light drive for now. at the bay bridge toll plaza. just mild slowing on the incline. and that's just because there are a few more cars than you have. half the lanes. look at that. just a little tiny bit. not even any slowing anymore. there's a crash clearing from the san

rafael side of the bridge and highway 12, a minor crash on the shoulder in the north bay. no issues for highway 37. highway four. we're looking at what's coming up later right along the bart tracks over here again, that red line service and the shift over at macarthur might affect some folks who are coming over here for this evening's game. for the coliseum. at the coliseum. the a's are playing tonight, and so that will be a nice way to end the week. again, another series just getting started over in oakland, the south bay, the peninsula all looking very clear. there's not even any slowing out of south county light. light traffic. and the altamont pass is at speed as well. back to you. thank you. mike 542 this morning helping college bound students make it in the bay. there are actually lots of scholarships available all summer long and throughout the school year. and you know what recent high school graduates, this is for you too, because it is not too late to apply for college scholarships this fall. we're going to show you one site that can help you out. you know, i'm listening. plus, it's not coney island, but somebody's still eating like a champ. and for a good cause, we'll show you how the greatest

competitive eater of all time, joey chestnut, spent his 4th of july. you're watching today i was like shaking you know, . when i first reached out to jacoby and meyers. i didn't know if i had a case o. as soon as i got a hold of my .

because of jacoby and meyers, it a medical bill or things like . if i know of any accident, i'm .

heading to work today, but we are still going to have another hot one. temperatures here going from mid 50s to mid 80s. by noon. we'll get a look ahead to

our weekend forecast coming up in a few minutes. yeah, judging by the san mateo bridge same thing. carry. we do have a little more traffic than yesterday and that's to be expected. but we have a lot of slowing. the flashing lights are just folks changing lanes westbound across the san mateo bridge. we'll give you more coming up. 546 and breaking economic news this morning just a few minutes ago, the latest monthly jobs report came out. and more than 200,000 jobs were added in june, the unemployment rate still rose slightly from 4 to 4.1, but the numbers just a little bit higher than what was in the forecast. well, new overnight britain has a new prime minister. this is after the labor party won a historic election, ousting the conservative party by a huge margin. outgoing prime minister rishi sunak offered his resignation to the king just a few hours ago. britain elects a party, not a specific leader, to rule the country. the labor party keir starmer will actually

become the country's next prime minister. he will be the country's sixth prime minister in eight politically turbulent years. we said we would end the chaos and we will. we said we would turn the page and we have today we start the next chapter, begin the work of change. the mission of national renewal, and start to rebuild our country. the labor party will replace a conservative government who's been in control for 14 years and largely criticized over brexit, as well as the cost of living crisis. new details this morning on the arrest of a man near the front lines of the wildfire burning in butte county, cal fire says a 61 year old man used a propane torch to set a backfire. that's a technique that firefighters use to block a fire spread or change its direction. but again, firefighters who are trained to do that, investigators say this happened on tuesday, hours after the thomson fire started. the man is not believed to be

connected to the start of the fire, and the fire in question was quickly put out. meantime, authorities lifted some of the evacuation orders tied to the thomson fire, which has now burned more than 3700 acres. the fire is also about 30% contained, so that's an improvement from yesterday. at least four homes were destroyed. evacuation orders also in effect now from a wildfire that doubled in size in mariposa county near yosemite. this one started about 630 last night along highway 49 in mariposa. overnight cal fire says it grew to 800 acres. it is burning out of control. no word on a cause just yet. well, it is hard to make it in the bay, especially with a college student in the family. but there is still time to get some scholarship help ahead of the fall semester. despite okay, so listen to this kris. despite popular belief, summer is not too late to apply for those scholarships. okay, scholarship aggregator this is al estimates

that it has more than half $1 million that are available now to students willing to put a little time filling out those applications. so they're not all based on academic performance either. okay. there's actually a lot of money they're leaving on the table. summer is a great time to apply for scholarships because they're less busy. you know, they don't have classes. and on top of that, you know, a lot of other students are not applying. so it's a great time for students to get in there and get some last minute dollars available for that all important tuition bill coming in august. good to know. so scholarship al offers a free seven day trial of services that include customized recommendations, automatic reapplication, and that the scholarship to make sure that they are legit for you. now more information. all you have to do is go to scholarship al.com for that. you already know about that site. guess what my graduate is going to do for the next seven days? lots of. all

right. it turns out that the giants are heating up right along with the weather. the team suddenly playing some of its best baseball of the season, the atlanta braves in atlanta. no problem. matt chapman hit a solo shot in the fourth inning, which would give the giants the lead as they beat the braves 4 to 2 and win the series. the giants are now just two games below 500. well, the a's may be looking up to rest of the division, but you know what? sure did not look that way against the angels yesterday over at the coliseum, jp spears pitched five shutout innings. the a's did all of the scoring there, and they actually won the game five. nothing for a three game game sweep of anaheim. the a's going to try to keep things rolling tonight over at the coliseum as well. that's when the league's best team, baltimore orioles, are coming to town. o r i o l e s i'm going to get beat up. you're brave, you're brave? okay. all right. the next story for you right no.

551. so happening tomorrow it is free fishing day, so you don't need to have a license to fish here in california. the california department of fish and wildlife says that it's a day for people to try a new hobby or even, you know, reinvigorate a love of fishing. but it is not a total free for all fish and wildlife. they actually say that all regulations remain in effect regarding the fishing hours. bag or size limits, report card requirements and steam closures, as well as gear restrictions. now, if you miss this one, there's another fishing day coming up for you. this summer. it's going to be august 31st. i mean, you're going to need some deep water because those fish are going to be way below the surface. all right. who needs coney island anyway? the greatest competitive eater of all time, san jose's joey chestnut, took his talents to texas on the 4th of july to eat hot dogs with soldiers. chestnu.

joey chestnut went to fort bliss in el paso, texas to chow down on some hot dogs, as is his tradition. on the 4th of july, he competed against four military service members combined. the four soldiers combined 849 hot dogs in five minutes. no match for joey jaws chestnut, though, who ate 57 hot dogs alone in five minutes. the contest also raised more than seven $100,000 to go to a nonprofit supporting military families. it's nice to for him to give his time to, you know, the soldiers there. he can go up against the whole military. yeah, exactly. yeah and win by by 2 or 3. all brownley. all right, well, we're starting out this morning with a nice, refreshing start. i wanted to show you the changes that we are seeing and how this will affect us. look at the san francisco

camera. that's the golden gate bridge. fog is back in its 55 degrees there now, where it's all clear. it's 66 in dublin, 69 in san jose. as you can see that fog has very limiting cooling effects for us. and along the coastline will be the place to be if you want that natural air conditioning in the spotlight. half moon bay hiking along the coastline. it's going to be in the low 50s to start and only reaching into the mid 60s with that high temperature right at about noon. so we are going to see in san francisco some milder weather there, but we're still just shy of a record high temperature, expecting it to reach 79 degrees 101. in santa rosa. that would most likely set a new record. and then we're also very close in a lot of other spots, but i do think we'll be well below a record high in san jose. but not too far from there. morgan hill, 104 degrees today, and in livermore, 102 106, in concord, vacaville

107 and as hot as 109 degrees in ukiah. we'll look at tomorrow. it gets even hotter there, 113 degrees. unfortunately, the heat is not backing off. it's going to ramp up a couple of more degrees for some spots, like the tri-valley, the inland east bay and much of the valleys in the north bay. as we take a look at napa and what to expect really hot weather there that will start to ease up a bit sunday into early next week. we're still above normal, but at least we're not setting records and the heat continues throughout much of next week. so we're looking at triple digits for today through sunday, and then highs in the upper 90s next week. we may catch a little bit more relief in our early morning hours with slightly cooler temperatures, but we are getting some relief in san francisco with upper 70s low 80s today across the city and then mid 70s throughout much of next week. mike, you're starting with a quick look at the bay bridge toll plaza to emphasize vacation week for many around the bay. look at that. a smooth, easy

drive looks like actually up here we may have an issue of bus. looks like it's pulled over to the shoulder. that's the 880 overcrossing. no problems as you're passing by, but just the note if you're heading toward the bay bridge right here out of oakland. now another note if you're traveling from richmond to millbrae and you typically take the bart lines, the red line, first of all, there's no slowing there on the maps. the red line will show you no service. right now, you can't take direct service between richmond and millbrae, or vice versa. you'll have to make a transfer over at macarthur. same area as last week. different issue. but there's an issue and interruption requiring the transfer. so the orange line and the yellow line will sort of take up the slack to get you back and forth between the peninsula. we're still at the minimum for vasco roads, emphasizing the lighter traffic volume around the bay here out of the altamont pass, and even coming in from south county back to you. all right. thanks, mike. well, happening now. recovery teams plan to continue to search for a man believed to have drowned in the russian river. he disappeared while swimming wednesday night. this is near

villa grande beach in monte rio. dive teams quickly hit the wate, but they were unable to relocate him. much more ahead on today in the bay including fireworks. both legal and illegal ones keeping crews busy on the 4th of july. we'll show you some of the close calls and the conditions. sure to keep firefighters on high alert well into the weekend. you're watching today in the bay show you

just how hot it is expected to get across the bay area. meteorologist kari hall is tracking a microclimate weather alert still in effect. 4th of july ending with a bang as people set out thousands of illegal fireworks across the bay area, some sparking brushfires that kept firefighters busy and alert overnight. we're tracking the high risk and the record heat that continues into the weekend, plus calming concerns, president
