warming up outside as triple digit temperatures are expected across the bay area today. meteorologist kari hall is tracking how long this heat wave will last. it's very upsetting. the fact that you know, these perpetrators can just walk there

and feel like nobody cares. nobody's watching. this morning, a rabbi is speaking out, following repeated attacks at his oakland synagogue. the search now underway for two vandals suspected in a possible hate crime. president biden facing a critical test as he welcomes world leaders to washington while facing doubts from members of his own party. we are live in washington with his response to the growing criticism this is today in the bay good wednesday morning. thank you for waking up with us. i'm kira klapper, filling in for marcus washington. we should be saying thank you for waking up with us. yes. i would not be awake right now to. i'm laura garcia. we're going to check in with mike in just a little bit. but first we're all talking about the weather. these days. kari. it's going to be another hot one. three more days of this heat wave. and it was nice to have the break the past couple of days, but here we go again. another round. even though we're

starting out with some clouds this morning. and usually when we do have our morning clouds, we say, okay, it's going to keep those temperatures from warming up too quickly, but we are going to see it clearing out quickly and the temperatures will still heat up. so we're going from low 60s at 7:00 to an 11:00 temperature of eight degrees at 1:00. it's already in the 90s, and we'll stay in the 90s throughout the day as we reach a high here in dublin of 99 degrees, it will be 91 in san jose, but a short drive to morgan hill and it will be 103. there will be a wide range in temperatures across the bay area, nice and comfortable and half moon bay with some low 70s. but if you head over toward palo alto, it will be in the low 90s and we'll see a high of 104 in vacaville today, we are getting ready for three very hot days, but looking ahead, it will be much cooler in time for the weekend, so we'll talk more about that in a few minutes. mike, you like what you see at the bay bridge? i do. i'll explain why. first of all, we

have a little cloud cover carry. you're talking about that. so i will take it. it feels refreshing just looking at some cloud cover. but you saw her forecast and we forecast the back up here as well, the return to traffic flow. but i do like the fact that it's not yet to the end of the parking lot for all lanes. and there's movement. so that's good. the commute is on for the east bay. typical spots. highway 37, highway four, nothing excessive through the area, but there's a build now down through richmond, so that's right on schedule for our typical flow. as we look at the rest of the bay. it's a smooth drive here. the south bay does kick in with that first burst. it will start to ease up in the next burst. hits about 640, let's say for that volume to build through the area. and a nice look out here. timing for vasco road though. we're already at the half hour mark. back to you. all right. thanks, mike. developing this morning in the east bay, a synagogue hit twice. and now oakland police are investigating it as a possible hate crime. today in the bay's bob redell is live this morning. and bob, as i understand it, the rabbi hopes apparently a key piece of evidence will help solve this case. yes, we are

talking about videotape. the rabbi tells us this is very upsetting, as you can imagine. kira the fact that a somebody is doing this and b there feel like they can do this because nobody is watching but somebody, something is watching. rabbi david lukowski of the chabad jewish center of oakland says his video cameras captured has shared with us these videos of the of the surveillance of suspects, throwing chunks of concrete at the front windows of his synagogue on two separate occasions. it's not clear if this was the same person both times. according to opd, the first incident happened june 21st. the 2nd july sixth, sometime around midnight. both incidents now being investigated by police as potential hate crimes. liberkowski points out the area is no stranger to these types of incidents, with a menorah being vandalized at nearby lake merritt back in december. it just shows that anti-semitism became somewhat the norm. people feel like they

can get away with this. in january of this year, the anti-defamation league reported a 360% increase in anti-semitic incidents in the three months following the october 7th attacks on israel. the chabad jewish center of oakland is asking for donations to help with the window damage, which could cost around $10,000. reporting live, bob redell today in the bay. all right. thanks, bob, for that update. we hope the best for them. two decision 2024 president biden welcoming nato leaders to washington. this as questions swirl about the future of his campaign. meantime, the republican national convention starts next monday, and president trump is teasing a vice presidential running mate. today in the bay brie jackson joins us live in washington this morning and brie yesterday, democrats held a closed door meeting to discuss the president's political futur. that's right. good morning, laura. and according to sources

that were in the room, only a handful of democrats privately raised concerns about president biden's age and ability to win in november. a majority say it is time for the party to rally behind him. president biden welcoming world leaders to washington, d.c, as nato celebrates its 75th anniversary. the president, touting the progress made during his administration the year 2020. here are the year i was elected president only nine nato allies are spending 2% of their defense gdp on defense. this year, 23 will spend at least 2. the high stakes discussions about global issues comes as the president faces challenges within his own party. on tuesday, democrats held tense discussions over whether the 81 year old should drop out of the 2024 presidential race. you don't have to convince me. i'm with

the democratic nominee no matter how we go forward, joe biden, on his absolute worst day, is better than donald trump on his absolute best day. personally, i would support kamala harris. i think she's done a great job as vice president despite divisions on a path forward, democrats say their main goal remains the same. this is about defeating donald trump. that's the end of the game. former president trump slamming democratic infighting during a florida rally. the truth is, it doesn't matter who they nominate because we are going to beat any one of them in thundering landslides and teasing an announcement about his vice presidential pick. let's see how we do over the next week, but probably over the next week or so, maybe even at the convention this week, president biden is seeking to unify his party while strengthening nato alliances, and president biden is set to hold a rare solo press conference on thursday. it will be his first one of the year. it

is it is just fascinating to bring it, to see how this is all going to play out. and it's interesting. abc news george stephanopoulos actually now walking back on some comments that he made after his one on one interview with president biden, he was caught on the streets of new york. that's right, laura. so he stephanopoulos says he regrets appearing to say he doesn't think president biden can serve another four years in the white house. he reportedly made the comments to a passer by in new york city and tmz then posted the encounter in a statement, stephanopoulos says he should not have responded to the individual and we should point out that his response in this video is a little hard to make out. stephanopoulos had the first interview with biden following his rocky debate performance and a separate statement. abc news says, quote, george expressed his own point of view and not the position of abc news. that's right. journalists always staying

neutral. a good lesson to us all. brie thanks for the very latest. all right, laura, we're back to the weather now. and as the temperatures rise once again across the bay area, there's a warning for patients who to make sure that they not only have their medications, but understand their potential side effects. clint hopkins is the owner of a california pharmacy, telling us that certain medications, including a variety of blood pressure and diabetes medications, as well as antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs, can potentially make you more prone to being physically impacted by the high temperatures. some medication makes patients sweat more, which can affect the ability to tolerate the heat. those meds already can dehydrate you, even in regular, normal room temperatures. you have to drink extra water when you're taking those medications, and with the added heat, the body has a hard time keeping up. so he says, if you're feeling faint, dizzy or dehydrated, drink extra water and get out of the heat. well,

this is really interesting as well. the heat is actually also bringing out some unwanted guests. wasps local pest control say summertime brings out more yellow jackets and paper wasps. the wasps usually can't handle the extreme heat, so they venture out and forage for food. and like any living thing during the heat wave, wasps are looking to stay hydrated. insects will flock to pools and parks. i was in the pool the other day and yeah, i felt like the bees were after me. oh yeah, they want the water. me and bugs don't get along. no i know you had to pardon my giggling because kerry was like, couldn't even look at the video so close with that shot. yeah. bugs. rat snakes. not high on our list. okay. that's another reason to stay inside today. yes. so we'll see more bugs, i guess, because it's going to get hotter again. i'll be inside. yes, we know where to find kerry and her ac, right? yes. with your bug repellent. right. it's going to be really

hot out there in the valleys again. we're under a microclimate weather alert, and we are starting out with our cool morning and some clouds. it looks so nice and refreshing there in walnut creek. okay, here's where we're headed. 96 in santa rosa. and if you're thinking, okay, it's summer, shouldn't it be hot? well, we are well above what's normal. we should be in the mid 80s and in concord. our normal high temperature is about 88 degrees, but we'll hit a high of 103. and in san francisco, we're about ten degrees above average. we're not expecting it to set a lot of records today, but it will be much warmer than what we've seen. and we do need to take it easy in this heat. it gets even hotter tomorrow. that day we may set some records. we'll talk more about that coming up in a few minutes. mike's looking at some lower numbers. yeah, well, i have a steady gaze here fixed on the third day in a row. we call out a different shop, though. same low in san jose. it's 377, lowest in the whole bay at gulf on tully road. again, that stretch of tully

road has a series of 370 sevens. same thing for the price point. 399 in concord. there's a series of them over there. we'll pick out national petroleum on clayton road today. where that one still below four bucks. but we jump over to san francisco. we jump up to 449. we'll point out the best at p fuels on ocean avenue. and we also point out gasbuddy.com where everybody's sharing those prices. you can report them too, on the roadways we look at a smooth, easy drive right now, pretty predictable pattern as we look out to the contra costa drive. it's contra costa county highway four is out there. highway 37, a little build out of richmond, but nothing dramatic. the bay bridge is starting to stack up to about the 880 overcrossing. and there's fog this morning at the golden gate bridge. just a little bit. haven't seen it for a while. it will burn off. doesn't it look nice and cool there? so refreshing. jump into it. so refreshing. all right mike, thanks. well cracking down on chaotic delivery drivers. coming up next on today in the bay. the new protocols one company is now adding to protect

you on the roads. and a warning for parents. the government regulators say there's an app your kids should not be using. let's go out to the futures this morning see what's happening ahead on wall street. so the nasdaq and the s&p 500 are both going to start at records and set new records as on the open. plus on the closed side, tiny dancer. count the headlights on the highway elton john seemingly coming out of retirement. the bay area show he's set to play, and why it's going to cost you more than a regular concert ticket. keep it here. you're watching today in the bay on the

into effect starting at 11 a.m. in union city. right now it's at a nice, cool 62 degrees with some clouds overhead. it's going to clear out around 9 to 10:00 the rest of the day. sunny and warming up into the mid 80s. by 1:00 we'll get a look at all of our microclimates and where we will have the hottest temperatures coming up in a few minutes. and we're getting a little break here in the south bay. look at that. i like the low clouds, but when i'm talking about is a break in the traffic. the first burst cleared up. the

second one should kick in in about 2020 five minutes. we'll track this section of 101 and show you how the silicon valley develops. well good morning. very happy wednesday to you. both the nasdaq and the s&p 500 will open at yet new records this morning. microsoft says it's going to abandon a board seat at openai. worried its involvement may attract antitrust regulators. this according to cnbc. we get key inflation data tomorrow with the cpi girls in tech is no more. the organization shuttered its doors. video here from the charity's website. at one point, it had a quarter million members. now, the founder did not give a reason for the closure, but the business journal says it was from a lack of funding. the ftc says an app called ngl that's not going to lie should not be used by children. the government, regulators say promises programmers made to protect kids from bullying were not kept, and that the app tried to trick kids into paying for a premium account. the app allowed people

to send each other anonymous messages. fed chair jay powell will be back on capitol hill this morning, this time in front of a house committee. yesterday, powell said the central bank was detecting weakness in the job market. and remember, if you're a central banker, you want that. it means high interest rates or slowing the economy and therefore hopefully inflation. well, it's been more than a year since silicon valley bank imploded. and in that year it's done a lot to return to health. this week on our podcast, sand hill road, i sit down with the president of silicon valley banks commercial banking. i asked him to take us inside that room. when bankers realized they had hit that iceberg. and let me tell you, it's very difficult to get a banker to talk about that. try to think of anything more that a banker would not want to talk about than a bank failure. i mean, is there anything, you know, root canals, anything that are sounds way better, way better. so listen to him. have a

root canal on our podcast. now the good news is they have turned silicon valley bank around. it is a valued part of the community again. and that turnaround, which, mark hetty calls both both, you know, inevitable but amazing all at the same time. we talk about it just wherever you find your podcast, take a listen. all right. it must be great for him to talk about it in the past tense. yes. now exactly. on the other side, scott. thanks. so much. well, doordash is cracking down on dangerous delivery drivers in big cities in a new posting, the company is laying out what it is calling its new public safety campaign. it all stems from issues police in boston were having with delivery drivers, breaking traffic laws on motorized scooters and mopeds. doordash hopes to eliminate riding on sidewalks or going the wrong way, along with speeding and running red lights. it's implementing new protocols, including teams that work directly with local law enforcement agencies. elton john may have just retired from touring, but it sounds like his own yellow brick road will soon

lead him to a gig here in the bay area. i do survive after all this time. this will not be a concert, just anyone can attend. instead, sir elton will be performing at this year's dreamforce conference. it's in mid september. salesforce ceo marc benioff just announced it. dreamforce tickets start at $1,500. maybe your company will pay. the show will benefit the benioff children's hospitals in san francisco and oakland. what an opportunity. wow. classic. you know that would be so cool. you can find out if he really says, hold me closer, tony danza. oh yeah, that's right. oh my god. all right. her lyrics yeah. if you like cheese enchiladas i used to always do that one. anyway okay. summertime. what's the hit of the summertime this year? you know, there's always a summertime favorite. espresso. that's right. yeah. that's hot.

i think it's not like us, but we need an iced coffee today. we do need some something to help cool us off. it's going to be a hot afternoon and we are under a microclimate weather alert. we're going to see temperatures in the low 60s to start out in dublin. it is 57. in san rafael. take advantage of the nice cool weather while we have it for the next couple of hours. it's going to start to really heat up fast in the valleys. we will have this coming back. all of the shaded colors on the map here. the orange is a heat advisory, which will include much of marin county. basically a lot of areas away from the immediate coastline. and it does not include san francisco this time. but then as you make it into the tri valley, the delta, the south county, it is going to be really hot today as we zoom in to take a look at our south bay high temperatures, we're in the low 90s in milpitas today, but it will be 103 degrees in morgan

hill, and we're going to see a lot of highs over 100 degrees in the east bay, up to 104 in antioch, 101 in danville today, and 87 in hayward. so a little warm there. but we're also going to see only low 70s for half moon bay. i think a lot of people will try to escape the heat and head to the coast. if you can. we are going to see san francisco temperatures in the 70s today and upper 90s for much of the north bay, from napa, sonoma to santa rosa, and 105 in clear lake. today and tomorrow is even hotter. we're going to see a lot more of these highs over 100 degrees into the north bay, away from the inner bay and the east bay, and then into the south bay up to 106, in morgan hill. as we look ahead in livermore, friday is also very hot. but if you're making plans for the weekend, it looks a little bit better for saturday. still, 96 degrees is hot, but it's going to be much better on sunday and we are going to keep those temperatures into much of

next week. but we may be replacing the extreme heat with some humidity going into the weekend. this green here shows a surge of some mid-level moisture, and when we get that, we get sometimes clouds, higher humidity. it kind of feels more muggy, but also the possibility that that could help spark some thunderstorms. thunderstorms this time of year is not a good thing, because we could see lightning strikes that could start some new fires. so watching out for that saturday and sunday. but meanwhile our focus is the heat for the next three days. that may become dangerous during the middle of the day. make sure you're staying hydrated and trying to stay in the ac as much as possible. mike, we've got a crowd now in oakland. we do not. an unexpected crowd. this is the bay bridge toll plaza, but we have much more traffic this week than we did seven days ago. so we have the backup, the 880 overcrossing shows the volume build. so does the sensor read over here at the richmond bridge and through richmond itself. typical pattern, but lighter for the summer. no major problems.

back to you. all right, mike, thanks. 623 no phones in school. it's a hard idea for some to imagine, but one state is trying to do just that, to stop distractions and keep students focused. how they'll make it happen. and could california be next? we'll be right back

at floor & decor.

schools with a half a million dollar initiative, citing a teen mental health crisis, the state's governor issued an executive order aimed at establishing cell phone free education. the new rules would include dedicated lockers and pouches storing the devices to restrict access. governor gavin newsom has said he wants to apply cell phone restrictions here in california for students. last month, the l.a. unified school district board voted to ban students use of cell phones. that's great, i think. all right, we have a lot more to get to at 630, including the bay area warming up and we are already feeling the heat this morning. we're not there just yet. kira here in san francisco, you can see carl, the fog right behind us, the golden gate bridge. not making an appearance just yet, but because of the heat that the rest of the bay area is feeling. officials are warning that things can get dangerous for specific groups very quickly. we'll have more details on that up ahead. plus

the famous flintstone house getting caught up in some classic stone age drama. the reason the city is shutting down the owner's latest business venture. keep it here. you're watching today in the bay

ok, 500 deluxe garden gnomes. wow.

i only meant to order five. there's not enough money in my account for these. i'm gonna get charged. two things i just can't deal with. overdraft charges. and garden gnomes. but your bmo smart advantage checking account gives you an extra day to avoid an overdraft fee. nice to see a bank cutting people some slack. mistakes happen. and we give you time to correct them. so, you don't like gnomes huh? what about that one? that one i like. a lot. ♪ bmo ♪ 630. extreme heat returning to the bay area as one county faces

more than a dozen deaths. the warning as we head into another heat wave and how long these dangerous conditions will last. this is today in the bay. 630 on your wednesday morning. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia, and i'm kira klapper. marcus washington has the morning off. wonder where he is. let's take a live look out across the bay area. this morning we went to a concert. pick a city. oh that's what it is. many cities already feeling pretty warm, except san francisco. they're covered in fog. let's turn it over to meteorologist kari hall, who warned us the heat was returning. she's leading our coverage this morning. hey kari. good morning. and, yes, that fog is protecting san francisco from the extreme heat. the one of the few spots not included in this heat advisory or excessive heat warning. and as we go throughout the day, we're going to start out with temperatures in the upper 50s there. and for much of the bay area, we're in the upper 50s and low 60s. here's a look

at our highs for this afternoon. hotter than yesterday. but still our microclimates in full effect where you can see a range in temperatures from low 70s and half moon bay up to 107 in ukiah. and we're going to also have the heat peaking tomorrow as we are going to go through a three day stretch of this intense heat tomorrow being the top of that. and we're going to see a lot of highs over 100 degrees, up to 100 in santa rosa, 107 in concord and 106 in morgan hill. and we will fortunately see this heat subsiding in time for the weekend. but we do need to make it through these next few days, through the end of the week. back to you. all right, kari. thanks. well, as kari just mentioned, san francisco is still being protected from the heat right now. our team coverage continues with today in the bay's ginger conejero saab live in san francisco with her jacket on. that's right. the city may be the escape, you know, from this potential heat wave we're having here. everybody's talking about it.

but you know what? it's dangerous as well. there are concerns. that's right. you know, i mean, we see that san francisco is still protected and blanketed with the fog. but across the bay area, officials are really warning that specific groups are vulnerable to this excessive heat. it can become dangerous very quickly. i want to take you from san francisco back down to san jose. let's take a live look right now. the latest numbers from santa clara county's medical examiner's office confirms that 14 recent deaths have happened. they are now looking into whether or not they were heat related. now, last week, san jose mayor matt mahan posted on x saying that an unhoused person died in san jose because of the heat. places across the bay area doing what they can to accommodate those in need of a reprieve. last week, san francisco announced that all public pools were free for a day. now, normally you have to buy a pass to use the public pools, but the city waived that

many homes here in the city have no air conditioning, so that was an option to get some relief for the warmer weather. now, as we enter this next heat wave, experts warn things can quickly change and it is important to watch out for and recognize signs and symptoms of concern. now these signs and symptoms range from mild to moderate to severe. moderate symptoms known as heat exhaust heat exhaustion could include swelling of the feet and legs. it could also include dizziness. now that can quickly change to a person feeling more severe. symptoms like nausea, vomiting, as well as headaches. and in the most severe cases, mind altering behavior can occur. possible seizures can also happen. somebody may not be acting like themselves. that's really a critical time because the time from those symptoms to doing very, very poorly, it happens very, very quickly. so those people need to seek medical attention. well, another concern resulting from this heat wave

wildfires. and later this morning at 10 a.m, governor gavin newsom and other state leaders will give an update on the state's wildfire response and readiness. currently, the royal fire is still burning near sugar bowl resort near tahoe. that fire is in the tahoe national forest in a steep canyon. containment has grown. it is now at 15% and there hasn't been much growth at around 215 acres. but winds are also expected to pick up later this week, fueling more concern not just there but around the state for the potential of wildfires. now, we spoke about those specific groups. i want to mention the elderly, those who work outdoors, and of course, the unhoused. these are kind of the vulnerable groups that we want to give focus on and, you know, really watch out for during this heat wave. but as you all have mentioned, san francisco so far, looking kind of as it always does in the summer, there no escape from

alcatraz, but a little escape from the heat possible there. and this shot is for mike because he said that just he just wants to see some clouds, will feel a little cooler. guys, you get to feel them. look at that. even with your jacket on. thanks, ginger. enjoy the cool. our nbc bay area app is a great way to stay informed on these hot temperatures. you can get up to the minute updates sent straight to your phone for any weather or breaking news alerts, so you don't have to go searching for them, just download it for free on all your devices. well, happening today a man accused of pushing an elderly woman to her death from a bart platform is scheduled to appear in court. the incident unfolded last monday at san francisco's powell street station. that's when police say 74 year old corazon dandan was pushed into the tracks by a transient travis belmont, as a train approached and then struck her. his arraignment has been delayed three times due to his mental state. today's hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. also today,

friends, family and comrades will say a final farewell to an oakland firefighter paramedic who drowned in southern california. 25 year old caden lafond was on vacation when he drowned june 27th outside san diego. investigators say he was swimming late night with a friend and alcohol may have been involved. he worked for the fire department for five years. today's memorial service will take place at noon aboard the uss hornet in alameda. new at six, an east bay safeway, is among those slated to close if a proposed mega-merger of grocery giants gets approved. the owners of albertsons stores, which also owns safeway, have agreed to be bought by kroger. but the federal trade commission is now reviewing that deal. bloomberg has just obtained a list of 700 stores on the chopping block, and the safeway on washington avenue in san leandro is the only bay area store among them.

more than 60 stores would close across california. most are located in southern california. taking a live look. oh, the sun is shining. a little bit of cloud cover there in walnut creek. looks like a nice mild morning to wake up to if you need to get out, do it now before the triple digits rejoin us. meteorologist kari hall is here with the breakdown here for a few days, you say? yes, three days of this heat wave. and so, yes, you want to get out there early, try to get in the outdoor activities. the a lot of the work that you need to do out there before temperatures get hot, but also avoid time outside if you do have any heart conditions or breathing problems in the east bay, as well as santa clara valley, it is a spare the air alert. one thing that we can do on these hotter days is catch public transit to try to reduce the amount of carbon emissions we're putting out there. there will also be a high amount of ozone due to the high heat that we'll see in spots like brentwood, where our temperatures go from mid 70s at 9:00 to 1:00, temperature of 93

and 105 at 5:00, and it's just going to be hot and sunny in the triple digits for several hours there and up to 91. in san jose, we're in the upper 90s for much of the north bay. and in the 70s in san francisco. we'll talk about the range and temperatures in the peak of the heat tomorrow. mike, you're starting out with the drive out of cocoa county. yeah, we have this at the richmond bridge heading over in toward the north bay, toward marin county, out of contra costa county. a smooth build and a smooth drive right now we just have the slowing on the approach because of the volume of traffic off the east shore freeway volume build richmond down in toward berkeley and emeryville imminently. berkeley curve not a problem, but the backup, of course, at the toll plaza, highway 37 holds steady out of vallejo. highway four shows more build in through pittsburgh and bay point. and now on to 242 south. that's no problem in walnut creek. a build here for pleasanton, sunol for 680. so we're seeing more tri valley traffic. but look at this. no major issues for the nimitz. just typical slowing in fremont

and in oakland as we're looking forward to. today's traffic toward the beach carries. talk about those temperatures. we'll see more traffic on 92. remember, they've got that traffic control in place as well as they continue to do. the more extensive repair work, not only rebuilding where there was a slide out, but they're also out here doing some drainage repair work and making things improved for the future. of course, through the area. and here we'll continue with double events again. oracle park giants game again tonight. and about the same time we have california classic. so basketball game here at chase center involving the warriors and the kings. the battle for norcal. back to you. interesting thanks. well hi. and dining event suddenly placed on the back burner. it was supposed to happen at that famous flintstone house that you see up in the hills in the peninsula. the reason it won't be opening its doors for diners. after all, my kids used to point that out every time. meantime, in washington, a democrat says the presidential race will end in a landslide for president trump. plus, a legendary las vegas

hotel casino closing its doors. but now you suddenly have a chance, a much bigger chance of hitting it big there. we'll tell you how to get in on this unusual givea hold on... this trip got me alaska gold 75k status?? looks like i leveled up somewhere between san francisco and new york. i knew you earned miles faster than other airlines but like...okay, this is next level. i wonder if they'll take my photo.

degrees. a cool start, but it will be heating up fairly quickly as we go into late morning into the afternoon. reaching a high here of 91. there will be some upper 90s and even 100 degrees. the readings for today. we'll talk about that and what's ahead coming up in a few minutes. yeah. we're looking over here. i think the speed sensor readings are about the limit. we did see i do see flashing lights. right there is the latest location. it's actually it looks like strobing lights. so it may be the issue of this camera picking up those lights on the vehicle, which is still moving across that westbound commute on the san mateo bridge. mike and kari, thanks now to a prominent democrat who says president biden may lose to donald trump in a landslide. scott mcgrew joins us now. colorado senator michael bennet had originally said that in private. he had said that in private. but you know what? to his credit, laura, when he was asked about it on cnn, he said, yeah, he had said it, not just the trump may win in a landslide, but the

republicans will probably take both house and senate in november. here's a clip of that interview. donald trump is on track, i think, to win this election and maybe win it by a landslide and take with him the senate and the house. and so for me, this isn't a question about polling. it's not a question about politics. it's a moral question about the future of our country. and i think it's critically important for us to come to grips with what we face. if together, we put this country on the path of electing donald trump again. now, earlier this week, president biden sent a letter to democrats firmly stating he was running and that should be the end of it, he said. but this morning on morning joe, former speaker of the house nancy pelosi made it sound very much as if this decision is still up in the air. it's up to the president to decide if he is going to run. we're all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short. now, the msnbc

host then reminds pelosi that biden says the decision has been made, but pelosi sticks with it, saying, hey, whatever future decision the president makes, she'll support it. he has made the decision he has said firmly this week he is going to run. do you want him to run? i want him to do whatever he decides to do. the television network abc, meantime acknowledging its political director, george stephanopoulos, made an off hand comment to a person on the street that he didn't think that joe biden could serve four more years. the comment was recorded and first reported by tmz. stephanopoulos said, quote, earlier today, i responded to a passerby, and i shouldn't have. in washington, the nato summit continues celebrating 75 years of the alliance, one of the main subjects, of course, ukraine, ukrainian president zelenskyy, perhaps reading ahead to the election, asking for more weapons, fewer restrictions on

those weapons sooner rather than later. here's president biden at that same summit in the coming months, the united states and our partners intend to provide ukraine with dozens of additional tactical air defense systems. the united states will make sure that when we export critical air defense interceptors, ukraine goes to the front of the line, vice president kamala harris campaigned tuesday in nevada. former president trump was in florida, brought her up in a speech, something he doesn't normally do. meanwhile, the radical left democrat party is divided in chaos, and having a full scale breakdown, all because they can't decide which of their candidates is more unfit to be president. sleepy crooked joe biden or laughing kamala, laughing kamala. trump also mentioned marco rubio. a number of times, which makes sense. he's the local senator there. he was at the speech. in

the past, trump has called rubio little marco, a lightweight and a choke artist. but rubio is now one of trump's potential picks for vice president kira. and we know you'll follow it for us still. scott, thanks so much back here locally, the owner of a house that almost stops traffic on the peninsula is now being told to hit the brakes on an upcoming event there. if you ever travel north on interstate 280, you know that flintstone house in hillsborough. that's where an elaborate sushi pop up was planned for this friday. the pop up is called stone age omakase. it included a 15 course sushi menu created by a michelin starred chef at a cost of $230 per person, apparently sold out. it's now canceled, with the organizers saying on social media that hillsborough leaders raised concerns. the town sent a letter to the owner of the house. it calls the event illegal, saying restaurants and other commercial uses are not permitted in a residential zone, even on a temporary basis. but

the pop up company tells nbc bay area that their caterers, they're not a restaurant. they're still hoping for a resolution allowing the event to be held another time. it should have had that big steak that knocks over fred's car. then maybe they could have. then maybe they'll allow it. yeah. all right, well, tour is visiting london's buckingham palace suddenly have a whole new area to experience. the east wing of the palace is opening to the public for the first time ever. this part of the castle goes back 175 years and was recently refurbished. it's packed with royal history and dragon symbols. royals would use the balcony on the east wing for national events like the queen's jubilee limited. tours are now being offered at a cost of about $100. you can actually see the full stories coming up this morning on the today show at 7 a.m, right after today in the bay, we could take a tour, go on the balcony. yeah. do the waves.

yeah. you know, i would do it. i don't know, $100 though. is it per person or per group? all right, well, i'm not sure. well trending this morning the end of an era on the las vegas strip with the iconic mirage hotel set to close next week. i had no idea there's a way you could hit the jackpot before it shuts down, because nevada state law requires that casinos pay out their entire value of their rolling jackpots before they close, so that means the mirage will be required to pay about $1.5 million in jackpot money. it will be handed out through contest drawings done over four hour windows each day. among slot machine players, the resort is being replaced by the hard rock las vegas, expected to open in 2027, isn't there already a hard rock las vegas? i don't know, might be worth the flight though, if you can get there to win a jackpot, but one thing is, you know, this week they hit 120 and that was their hottest temperature ever. so it's still really hot. but they got that

inside. exactly. the slots are high slots. oh, but, no baby needs a new pair of shoes. maybe some flip flops. baby has three kids going to college in a couple of years. flip flops might melt on the pavement. it's been so hot out there and we're going back over 100 degrees these next few days at least. it's cool right now, and we're starting out in the upper 50s and low 60s for much of the bay area, a little warmer in san jose at 67 and will be warmer tomorrow morning as well. let's get a look at martinez and what you can expect over the next several hours. we have upper 50s between now and 7:00, and then as the sky clears out, we'll be in the mid 60s to low 70s. at 10:00, you can see the trend that quickly warms up at lunchtime. we're at 81 degrees, 91 at 2:00 and hitting that high temperature at about 3:00 of 98 degrees. really hot during the middle of the day. and then gradually starting to cool off as we approach sunset back into

the 80s. so as we're looking at our temperatures today, what's average for the beginning to middle of july? we're usually in the mid 80s for santa rosa, but today we're going to see a high of 96 degrees. concord's average high temperature is 88 for this date, and we're headed up to 103. it will also be a little warmer than normal in san francisco livermore 102 today. and although these temperatures are hot, we are not expected to at least for today, set a lot of widespread temperature records. so we look at the range in temperatures from low 70s in half moon bay to mid 80s for oakland and 98 for napa, 104 for fairfield. today, moving it into the day tomorrow, 108 there, 109 in vacaville. i mean, these temperatures are dangerous and it will be as hot as 112 degrees for ukiah. and in oakland it will be in the upper 80s. still some very warm weather for a lot

of spots, especially without air conditioning. and we're going to see a high of 97 in san jose. and on friday the heat is easing up a little bit. we're still seeing a lot of 80s and 90s here in a few triple digits, but we may be replacing the high heat for high humidity this weekend. there will be a surge in mid-level moisture coming in. we'll have to watch that saturday and sunday because if we do get that coming in, it could spark off a few thunderstorms and make it feel muggy with these highs in the 90s. so we are going to be watching a lot of things, including a high fire danger over the next few days. and mike, you're checking in on the berkeley curve watching, and we see a nice volume, a nice easy flow. so this is great. we do have more traffic than last week. we don't have any major problems like at the berkeley curve or at the maze. as we look at the approach, we see some more slow and gradual build. richmond through berkeley. there may be a new issue, a disabled vehicle near the caldecott, but i think it's outside. i'll let you know if there's anything urgent going on there for 24.

steady bill for 880, as well as 680 down through the tri valley. and of course, the south bay build is on back to you. thank you so much, mike. it is 653 and happening now. a vote on a ban on encampments along creeks and waterways in the south bay is being delayed until october. it was supposed to happen yesterday. the santa clara valley water district says the camps are polluting the waterways. it also says valley water employees have been threatened and attacked while working near creeks. if the ban passes, the people living along the water could face fines and jail time if they don't move. but critics say the ban would turn unhoused people into criminals. 53 past the hour up next week get you up on the top stories this morning, including that extreme heat returning as one bay area county faces more than a dozen deaths. the warning as we head into this heat wave and how california is preparing for wildfires

ordinary is the opposite of beautiful. beauty drops our jaws. dilates our eyes. and beauty is something we can create... right now... at floor & decor.

right now... you forward with a look at the top stories on today in the bay. we start with the dangerous heat returning across the bay area. officials are sounding the alarm about the risks of the heat on the elderly, those who work outdoors and the unhoused. the latest numbers from santa clara county's medical examiner confirm 14 recent deaths. they're now looking into whether those are heat related. later this morning, governor gavin newsom and other state leaders will give an update on the state's wildfire response and readiness. currently, the royal fire is burning near sugar bowl resort near tahoe. containment is growing. it's now at 15. there hasn't been much growth at around 215 acres. oakland police are investigating possible hate

crimes against a synagogue rabbi david lapkowski of the chabad jewish center shared with us surveillance videos of people throwing chunks of concrete at the front windows of his synagogue on two separate occasions. it's not clear if it was the same person. according to oakland police, the first incident happened june 21st. the 2nd july sixth. both attacks are now being investigated as potential hate crimes happening today. friends, family and comrades will say a final farewell to an oakland firefighter paramedic who drowned in southern california. 25 year old caden lafond was on vacation when he drowned june 27th outside san diego. investigators say he was swimming late at night with a friend, and alcohol may have been involved. he worked in the fire department for five years. today's memorial service will take place at noon aboard the uss hornet in alameda. all right. we're going to take a big turn. now, back to the forecast. before we go. you just have that warning for everyone. yeah. take

it easy today, and it's going to be hot in the inland valleys. we're up to 104 degrees. and that's going to be in the south county, parts of the east bay into the north bay even hotter tomorrow. but the weekend is looking better with some 90s, which is still warmer than normal. but we'll take it. yeah. all right. well, at least we're taking it easy. we do have the build for the commute, but it's easy this week a little more than last week, of course, but still, summer patterns 87 really getting hit with the most traffic over the last few minutes. well, the today show is just moments away, but for more local news, be sure to stay with today in the bay. we stream on roku, pluto and other platforms live at 8:00. three time world series champion jeremy affeldt joins us live to talk about being inducted into the giants wall of fame. and willie mays legacy. that's what's happening president biden on the world stage. >> and battling to save his campaign.
