dense throughout the city as well, and some low 60s in san jose. we will be warming up today. much warmer than yesterday, in fact, as we go throughout the mid morning hours and into lunchtime, some 70s are popping up on the board and into this afternoon. more places will go into the 90s while we see a mild bay shore. now tomorrow will be even hotter. we're going into a heat advisory starting today, so i'll get you all those details coming up in the full microclimate forecast. and of course, getting you ready for all of those weekend events. back to you. well, the stage is set for donald trump to accept the formal republican nomination for president tonight. here is a live look in milwaukee. this is where that speech comes on the final day of the republican national convention. now, trump's accepting the coming days just after surviving an assassination attempt last night, republicans welcomed ohio senator jd vance to the national stage. this is for his first speech as the nominee for vice

president today in the bay's brie jackson breaking down the message he's sending to potential voters. thank you. thank you, please. us senator jd vance taking center stage at the republican national convention, officially introducing himself to the country as former president trump's 2024 running mate. i stand here humbled and i'm overwhelmed with gratitude to say i officially accept your nomination to be vice president of the united states of america. sharing his personal story of growing up in poverty and seeing loved ones struggle with drug addiction challenges facing many american families. i grew up in middletown, ohio. a small town where people spoke their minds, built with their hands and loved their god, their family, their community and their country with their whole hearts. but it was also a place that had been cast

aside and forgotten by america's ruling class. in washington. from domestic issues to wars overseas, the former marine laying out ways a trump vance administration would impact everyday life. together, we will make sure our allies share in the burden of securing world peace. no more free rides for nations that betray the generosity of the american taxpayer. the 39 year old's addition to the republican ticket follows the assassination attempt of former president trump. supporters say they are energized. the sleeping giant has been awakened. now because now you're going, you know, the man that he's putting his life on the line as the republican ticket makes its case to voters at the convention, president biden is leaving the campaign trail after testing positive for covid. he's now in delaware, isolating and being treated in milwaukee, brie jackson nbc news. and back here in the bay area, the san francisco republican party plans to gather

tonight to watch former president trump's acceptance speech. a watch party is scheduled at trinity bar and restaurant, along union street that begins at six tonight. well, the fallout now this morning for secret service in the wake of saturday's near assassination, amidst calls for more oversight, more lawmakers are demanding the agency director step down during a briefing yesterday, lawmakers learned that the shooter, thomas crooks, was reported as suspicious. more than one hour before gunfire erupted at the trump rally. pennsylvania state police notified secret service about a suspicious person with a rangefinder. director kimberly chino is accepting responsibility for the failures. she agreed that to attend an initial house hearing this is next monday, even before receiving a subpoena. but she also previously said that she has no plans to step down now, as brie just mentioned a little while ago during a critical

time, president joe biden is isolating after testing positive for covid, cutting a campaign stop short, and he comes as he is facing growing pressure to drop out of the race, according to cnn and multiple private sources. former house speaker nancy pelosi privately told biden polling shows he cannot beat trump and that he could destroy democrats chances of winning in november. a pelosi spokesperson would only confirm to nbc news that she has not spoken to president biden since friday. in a recent interview, biden said he would only drop out of the race if he had a health condition. meantime, the biden administration is announcing another round of student loan forgiveness. the education department is set to forgive $1.2 billion for 35,000 borrowers. now, this is a result of its recent fixes to a popular debt relief program for government workers that program was passed by president george w

bush back in 2007, and it allows certain not for profit and government employees to have their federal student loans canceled after a decade in repayment. now, the us government is taking a major step towards writing an injustice against hundreds of black sailors in the east bay. yeah, today in the bay's bob redell joining us live near memorial for those sailors killed in the port of chicago blast back in 1944. and bob, now hundreds of those who refused to go back to work, they've been exonerated. correct. good morning to marcus and ginger. yesterday, the us secretary of the navy officially exonerated the 256 soldiers who were unjustly, punished for refusing to go back to work. this was following the deadly ammunitions explosion at the port chicago naval base 80 years ago yesterday. and as you can see, it's located not too far. it's in the restricted area. the

memorial is not too far from us in our location here in martinez. we did speak with richard sublett, whose father, maurice, was one of the black sailors who survived the explosion of munitions that were being unloaded or loaded onto a ship. here he says this announcement is long overdue. following the explosion, white supervising officers were given hardship leave while black sailors like his dad were told to return to work. hundreds of black sailors refused to go back, saying they never received proper training to handle these very dangerous ammunitions. a majority of them, including richard's dad, did return after threats of disciplinary action, but they were still court martialed and there were a group of 50 other black sailors known as the port chicago 50, who refused to return and were charged with mutiny. it's high time that these 256 sailors got exonerated. they finally did. now we can celebrate their lives and we can celebrate that without this cloud of, you know, adjudication hanging over their heads. in a statement, president

biden wrote, quote, today's announcement referring to yesterday, marks the end of a long and arduous journey for these black sailors and their families who fought for a nation that denied them equal justice under law. congresswoman barbara lee also weighing in writing, this is a monumental day for justice and for the families of the port. chicago 50. i appreciate the secretary of navy taking this crucial action to exonerate these courageous men who were unjustly court martialed by the navy following the explosion at the port chicago. a number of events are planned from today through sunday to commemorate again. this is the 80th anniversary of the port chicago blast, and later this morning during our 11 a.m. newscast, we will be speaking with congressman mark desaulnier, who represents this part of the bay area and who's been fighting for years for this exoneration, reporting live here near port chicago, bob redell today in the bay. so glad to see

they're getting their honor. although it shouldn't have taken this long, but it's glad it's happening today. all right. thank you bob. all right. it's 509 for you on this thursday morning again. just one more day until we make it through the week. let's take a live look at the san jose skyline. beautiful. they're clear looking like it's going to be a good weekend. forecaster cinthia pimentel yeah, we are starting off the morning some patchy clouds down here in the south bay. not too bad. some might need a sweater as you walk out the door. low 60s, but then by 10:11 a.m. we are putting it to the side, warming up a little bit faster than we did yesterday morning. i mentioned that heat advisory. we do have it for these areas shaded in orange. so away from the immediate coastline of the east bay and away from our coast right there. that starts today and continues until 11 p.m. friday. so we've got about two days of these warmer temperatures, 90s to some low 100 seconds, while the bay shores remain in those 70s to 80s. yes, 70s in san francisco. so it's going to be a warm stretch of the final days of the

week. so i'll be back with the full look at the maps, the temperatures, and what the weekend has in store in a little bit. but mike has to help you find those cheaper gas prices for the weekend. and i'm seeing a little bit of movement, at least in the gas prices that i pass along the way to the freeway, the one i pass every morning went down about $0.08. the bay area's best is now $0.02 higher, though, unfortunately, and that's in san jose. so we move on to this. 365 in san jose, we'll call on platinum gas on tully road, but there's a number at that price point. we have alameda county. the next price here, a few now under four bucks, but still 3.99 is the lowest. it goes there. this is national on alvarado boulevard in union city. that gets named right here. and then nothing under four bucks in san francisco, but the best price is 439. and it calls itself best best gasoline mini mart on san jose avenue. so there you go. all reported by all of you. all of us gasbuddy.com on the roadways. we're looking at a pretty easy drive. highway 84. looks like those sensors relit over after the overnight work over on niles canyon, there was

reports of a roadside fire north 101 around tully road. i haven't seen any slowing or any further reports of any problems, so i'm going to assume it's taken care of, but i'll still watch for any other reports through the area. things are moving very smoothly throughout the south bay, so that's good news. we do have no major issues coming out of the altamont, but a little bit of a build. we're starting with the commute back to you. all right. thanks, mike. all right, listen up. coffee drinkers coming soon to starbucks. a triple shot for you and your car. next on today, the bay, the partnership. the coffee chain is adding to add ev charging stations to key locations. and some adversity for diversity is another. another company rethinks its d e i plus chasing tornadoes. most of you say no way. well, it does make for a good movie. i'm going to tell you about that disaster movie returning to the big screen with an incredible cast for the sequel. so ahead, hear my conversation with that cast, and they're going to tell us a little bit of why this thriller is to low 70s by

mid-morning, and some 80s. for your lunchtime hour, we will be under a heat advisory starting at 10 a.m. i'll get you a look at how high those numbers will go. coming up in the full microclimate forecast. maybe one

less day of work for some of these folks. they might be leaving the tesla plant. we see a little more volume heading over the freeway, but 880 southbound with these headlights is moving at speed all the way from oakland into silicon valley. a smooth drive right now. we'll talk about what is building coming up. well good morning. very happy thursday to you. nasdaq got whacked yesterday. its worst day and months or years though we knew this was coming. we talked about this before the opening bell yesterday on today in the bay. new restrictions on chips from china and trump's interview with bloomberg calling into doubt whether we would keep our promises to taiwan, sent chip stocks lower and the nasdaq as well. 23 and me, tells the san francisco business times. it's reached a settlement over that huge data breach of users information. now 23 and me still on the nasdaq, but you can see it's in danger of being delisted. okay, this one is john deere, the tractor and heavy equipment maker. that company says it's ending its dei

programs. no longer will participate in what it calls social cultural awareness events, think parades and ethnic celebrations. it's also going to look over its training material and remove references to quote socially motivated messages. there's been a huge pushback in some corners of corporate america against dei. that's diversity, equality and inclusion. tesla's ceo sometimes deliberately misspells it as dei in some of his messages. he doesn't like it. in announcing the changes, deere also went out of its way to point out the existence of diversity quotas and pronoun identification has never been and are not company policy. united airlines should have pleased its investors with a report. it earned a lot of money in the last quarter, but there's worry there's empty seats on its planes, what the industry calls capacity. airlines have been rushing to add flights for all the americans who want to travel,

but maybe they overdid it. empty seats means cheaper fares and a moon probe designed at nasa in ames. nasa ames mountain view will not be going to the moon. this is nasa animation of the viper. that's volatiles investigating polar exploration rover. it was going to look for water near the moon's south pole, but nasa spent about $450 million on it. cost overruns, delays changing priorities mean nasa has decided to quit while it's ahead. it estimates it will save 84 million. now, the nasa scientists who were putting viper together made this little time lapse video. nasa now asking them to take it apart, save the pieces for future moon missions, and ginger and marcus. i guess we could run this video backwards and that would show that happening. but you feel bad for, you know, people come up with this mission. they they work on it, they design it, and then somebody says, yeah, you're not going to the moon today. yeah. i wonder from took off of this. right. well at what point

like $450 million, you're just good money after bad. where do you make that decision? yeah. thanks god. you bet. well, starbucks is expanding efforts to help customers with their electric vehicles. the company is partnering with mercedes benz to install 100 high powered ev chargers at its stores. the first phase of the program will focus on a 1400 mile stretch of i-5 between washington and california. now, the plan is to eventually expand installation efforts to the east coast. the company says. more than a thousand starbucks stores currently have access to nearby ev chargers. well, 20 for you this morning, ginger, i want you to brace yourself because maybe even protect yourself because you know what? we're going to see a reboot blowing into theaters. this is one of the most popular films from the 90s. we're seeing a reboot. are you seeing this? we got twins. twins are combining. yes twisters with

an s this time. officially opening across the nation tomorrow. but there are some early showings tonight across the bay area. this is one big budget film, $200 million to be exact. now, our comcast subsidiary, universal films, just co-releasing this, along with warner brothers. i recently spoke virtually with two of the stars of the movie glen powell, daisy edgar-jones. and they say that this film is a whole lot more going on for it than just the visual effects, which are pretty cool. i think it's so exciting to see, you know, real people against real odds and, and, you know, i think there's so much for an audience to go and see. nothing is stagnant about this movie. obviously, the storms aren't stagnant, but neither are the characters. they have these really, really fun growing places. you know, there's just a lot of dimension. there's a lot being thrown at them. and so the stars, i'm sure they hope that this new film blows away the original film in the box office as well. twister.

the original grossed half $1 billion globally. that was back % that would be just over $1 billion today. i've got to say, i still remember the cow. cow? yeah, like in the air floating. that's where they have the cow. more i got a chance to see the movie early. it's a movie. the thing is, it's a good one for everyone. if you want to go as a couple by yourself, there is a little love in. in it. there's action in it. and there's also a storyline of like perseverance. so and twisters and twisters, you can't miss that. it's a bucket list item for me for sure. to go storm chasing. you know what else? telling the weather right here in the bay area. do we have that? here's your wish that your wish is granted. we are starting off the morning. some patchy clouds over sfo, but bright and sunny start in the east bay. already won the creek. let's check in on your day planner. mid 60s by 8 a.m, warming up mid-morning and into lunchtime. so any of those walks you need to get them in early or maybe later on at night. we are

looking at a warm day. they're in the 90s. we're going to keep upper 90s through parts of concord, fairfield, down into morgan hill, out towards the waters. we are going to do upper 70s in oakland to 75 in san mateo, and we continue with those warm temperatures today up there in the north bay. but it's going to feel even hotter tomorrow. we are going into this heat advisory starting at ten today to 11 p.m. friday, and some places are going to hit that century mark as we go on and take a look at our weekend start now. this will be the hottest day of this week. as we go on into the weekend, we are looking at things cooling down just a little bit before we rebound them. once again. we are looking at that desert heat building over the four corners, approaching the state as we go on into monday and tuesday. so we do have these two days of heat this week to deal with. weekend, take it easy and prepare for what's ahead, especially if you live in brentwood. we are going to look at this heat spike for today. coming down into the low 90s for the weekend and then once again

into those low one hundreds for the start of the week before we bring it back down into the second half of the next workweek. san francisco will get warm too. we're talking 70s and mild in the city, so that's perfect weather to keep yourself cool. if you are coming in from the north bay, the east bay, the south bay. meantime, our inland valleys will have to deal with those 90s upper 90s and into the triple digits. next week. mike, you tell me you are taking a look at a crash. what's going on? there's a crash. it may be blocking the fast lane of north 87 right around curtner, but i haven't seen any slowing over the last three four minutes. we'll continue to follow this, hopefully getting an update from chp. hoping that everything's clear because the speeds are just fine there. that's in san jose. we do have a disabled vehicle. that's the only other thing going on for the map, and that's the only area where we don't see any where we see colors other than green. that's the typical morning commute getting toward greenville. as i understand it, this vehicle is on the shoulder, no problem. and coming down from vasco out of contra costa county, the drive is fine. getting down to 580,

which is great. back over to you all right. good looking out, mike. thanks. well, a night of rock and roll in the books. next year on today in the bay thousands of fans who attended the rolling stones concert in santa clara, as well as the cheeky joke mick jagger made on stage about the bay area. mickey, what did you say? what did he say? well, i'll let you

needed last night at levi's. it was a jam packed performance by the rolling stones. nbc, sky ranger nbc sky ranger. they're flying over the preshow scene, and fans outside levi's definitely ready. as santa clara extended that noise curfew. but mick jagger may have given a slight jab on stage as he joked about arriving at the stadium. the chronicle's reporting that he said, quote, i booked a waymo to come here, but it got hit by an aircraft will, and then someone slashed the tires. and then he added but we made it. don't know about that. all right. all right, mick, well, good morning to you. and next top stories that we're following today, including addressing mail theft. the new plan to stop thieves who are now continuously targeting residential areas. i'm

kris sanchez in san jose, one of the places seeing some elevated covid activity. this is top of mind now that the president announced that he tested positive as well. i'll give you a look at the big picture for

president to step away from the campaign. and we are tracking the summer covid surge. the

message from health experts as california reports, some of the highest infection rates. plus, time is ticking for people in one encampment. the new legal decision clearing the way for its removal and the high court ruling, some believe, put it on the fast track. this is today in the bay. and good morning. i am ginger conejero saab in for laura garcia, and i'm marcus washington. let's get you started with that forecast this morning. cinthia pimentel in for kerry tracking what we can expect from that forecast today and looks nice and cool. i had to show everybody it was beautiful stunning right there from our sutro cam. and i think mike and i were trying to figure it out. i believe it's looking at lombard and just the peaks of the golden gate bridge right there with mount tam in the distance. just absolutely beautiful. a little preview of what is to come. a mild day in san francisco, and really a warming up in a lot of places compared to average. we're anywhere from about 5 to 13

degrees warmer in santa rosa, 9696 in concord, san francisco. and those low 70s. we are building the heat again in livermore and through the south bay in san jose. i've got you at 85 downtown, right there where we see the beautiful skyline. we are going to feel even hotter for our friday. and i'll tell you what the weekend has in store coming up in a few minutes. but, mike, you're reporting a crash in the peninsula. where are we looking? well, you had beautiful views. i am actually trying to get a view of something that might not be so beautiful. you can kind of see it. yeah. kind of. there. southbound 101. coming down toward marsh. we're looking at a crash, and there is some slowing on the sensors. you just might have seen some clustering of lights heading south. it's blocking one lane coming into palo alto out of menlo park. i'll track that. hopefully no injuries and no delay there. we'll watch for that as it develops. on the peninsula side where traffic is very light, the arrows show you where you'll eventually see the slower drives across throughout the east bay, but no major issues right now. highway 37 at the top really

just sees the most activity. and then we're looking at the city where there's a good volume steadily across those low clouds touching the top of that tower here for the bay bridge, visibility, though. no problem. back to you. all right. thank you. mike well, first at 530, breaking news out of vallejo. that's where police are investigating a deadly shooting. now, police are saying right now will only tell us that the victim is a juvenile. and you can see right here from this video, dozens of shell casings on the ground. it happened around 11 last night at carolina. and but streets a few blocks from city hall. police are saying right now no arrests have been made and there's no information about a possible suspect. well, the pressure for joe biden to leave the presidential race now appears to be coming from all sides, and terrible timing. scott mcgrew. look, the president now has covid again. covid. now, doctors say this marcus is a mild case. and we've seen a number of

american companies telling their employees, if you feel okay, don't have a fever, come to work. but president biden setting a better example, going home to delaware to recover. we last saw the president at a family restaurant in las vegas. we're not saying he got it there. that's just where we last saw him in public. this announcement about covid comes just hours after president biden had said, somewhat off the cuff, that the only thing that would keep him from running again would be his health. but it's not his health. it's the polls that worry his closest allies like nancy pelosi, nbc reporting pelosi went to biden to discuss his poor performance in the polls, that he might quote, destroy democrats chances of winning the house. pelosi's office will only confirm the congresswoman met with the president, an ap poll released wednesday shows 7 in 10 americans think biden should drop out of the race when it. that includes all the voters. but when they narrow it to democrats, it's still two

thirds. the poll was conducted late last week and has a margin of error of just under 4. several reports say democratic senate leader chuck schumer went to see biden over the weekend again in delaware. nobody paid that much attention to the fact at the time, schumer only saying they had a good meeting. but it was california's adam schiff who really made news. schiff calling for biden to step aside. schiff repeating that old saw that it's biden's choice. but there's a choice. he clearly prefers, and that's to pass the torch, securing his legacy, schiff says, and allowing democrats to defeat donald trump. now as democrats struggle, republicans are showing a unified front at their national convention in milwaukee last night, ohio senator jd vance, trump's pick for vice president, formally accepted his own nomination. that's the republican party of the next four years, united in our love for this country and

committed to free speech and the open exchange of ideas. and so tonight, mr. chairman, i stand here humbled and i'm overwhelmed with gratitude to say i officially accept your nomination to be vice president of the united states of america. donald trump was there, too. he speaks tonight accepting his own nomination as the party's candidate. the third time republicans have put trump at the top of their ballot. nbc's coverage begins this evening. the white house, but not president biden, are going to announce more student loans today. i will get to that graphic in just a minute. more than a billion in relief for firefighters and police officers, teachers and nurses, people in public service. those programs have been challenged by republicans in court. really been quite the week. one pundit said. billy joel could have written a new version of we

didn't start the fire, just based on this week. meghan mccain, the daughter of the presidential candidate john mccain, said in part, this is the most insane, intense, dramatic election cycle of my life. and my dad picked sarah palin as his vice president. marcus you bet. well, the president's covid case, it's the latest development in what has been an almost surreal week for the nation. but his case is hardly an isolated one. in fact, california is among many states experiencing a covid surge today. in the bay's kris sanchez is live this morning in san jose. and kris, you're outside one wastewater facility that's been critical in tracking covid data. well, good morning to you, ginger. and marcus. so california uses wastewater levels to monitor covid activity. this is one of the dozen or so around the bay area that are seeing elevated levels.

let's take a look at that map there. it's going to show you exactly where we are seeing elevated levels across the bay area. according to the california department of public health dashboard. now, all of the wastewater monitoring sites across the bay seem to be at elevated levels. over the last week or so. now, part of this is because people are out and about on some of travel. but also there's another reason it is a master masquerader. i mean, it just continues to find new ways to develop, you know, ways to evade the immune system. and so as these new variants come out and they are just a little bit different than previous strains, it's harder for our body to fight them. okay, so with that, you might be wondering, well, do i need to get a vaccine booster? are my vaccines protecting me? the doctor says yes, vaccination is still your best course of action to avoid a prolonged illness and a serious illness. we are also seeing a slight

uptick in hospitalizations. so people are still getting very, very sick. people are still getting long covid now, still with this new variant, the flirt, the doctor says that most people who feel sick and go on to test have cough, nasal congestion, sore throat, very similar symptoms to the ones that we've seen throughout the history of covid. we'll call it over the last four years. so the vaccine booster for the fall is in the works. it's going to be tailored the way that the flu vaccine is to whatever is trending at that time. so that should protect us better for the fall. but in the meantime, best practices are if you're an enclosed space, if you don't know what people's vaccine status is, if you see somebody who maybe appears to be sick, you can mask up. make sure you wash your hands, you use hand sanitizer and remind the kids to because they are certainly enjoying their summer and getting out about as well. in san jose, kris sanchez today in

the bay. all good advice there. thank you kris. tell me about it kris. yeah thank you. all right. 539 for you now a new legal ruling is reportedly giving oakland the power to start clearing a small homeless encampment as soon as tomorrow. that camp is located on the coastline next to the bay bridge toll plaza, and the city argues it violates state environmental law, the east bay times reports. a federal judge agreed yesterda, ruling the sweep can move forward. homeless advocates call this one of the first legal tests following last month's supreme court ruling, giving cities and counties broader power to evict the unhoused. now, south bay congressman will meet today with residents in one south bay neighborhood targeted by mail thieves. over the weekend, thieves targeted yerba hills court in san jose's evergreen neighborhood. house lawmaker jimmy panetta is using it as a call to action. he will join local law enforcement leaders to talk about the

growing problem of mail theft and the multi-agency response that is needed for a crackdown. 544 you this morning, this is a beautiful shot looking on to san francisco. this is from our camera over in sausalito. gorgeous. are beautiful. there you can see even the ferris wheel there you see it there. i know it's all lit up there? all right. looks looks like a dream. well, is it a well? it's not a dream. it's a reality. dream. it's a little mini friday motivation. right about that. cynthia, let's get the weekend started. we've got lots of events to talk about, and we go to redwood city. we talk about this throughout the summer. they've got music in the square. you've got about a month left. it goes august 30th. we go on and set our lawn chairs, bring our sunglasses and our hats because we're going to start the event in the 80s and cool it down into the afternoon. we go up to petaluma where they're going to have their river town revival after dark, music, food, art, and the website says $5 wedding. so take advantage of

that if you'd like. it is going to be very toasty up there in the 90s. hotter tomorrow than it will be today. and then cooling down a beautiful evening there in the 70s. how about coming down into mountain view? the south bay is going to host the obon festival at the buddhist temple. we've got we're going to have dancers, food, culture, everything that you want right there in mountain view saturday. and sunday, temperatures in the low 80s there. so the weekend will be a bit of a break of this heat that is on the way. so i'll guide you through the full microclimate forecast. but mike, tell us about a more serious situation on 101. yeah we have jerry are in our operations center was able to catch sight actually he also enables us to see we had almost no traffic coming south. a cluster of lights, big flashes of lights, and now we have more traffic coming through. major injuries are reported for this crash. south 101 coming out of redwood city and heading in toward menlo park, palo alto. i just now see a big volume of traffic increasing. they may have

successfully gotten those two vehicles off of the roadway, but again, major injuries are reported, so there will be more to investigate. and i'll let you know if this is going to impact further. the crash. the scene in south 101 approaching marsh road. that's where the slowest sensors are. we saw the traffic restored, more volume coming down in toward palo alto, toward embarcadero and university. so i think the lanes have cleared. now, we'll continue to track that until there's resolution and more update from chp that's on the peninsula. unusual slowing there everywhere else shows a pretty typical pattern. it looks like we might have right here north 87. look at that sudden slowing. and a crash is marked there. so we'll check that for san jose. coming up back to you. and we'll check back in. thanks, mike. all right. well close call with carjackers next year on today in the bay. the scary confrontation in front of one south bay home. and the reason one man says he's lucky to be alive. plus, a low credit score could give you a headache. probably would. but could it also lead to cognitive issues? the company using ai to

novato, 48 degrees, a bit cooler to start this morning, but don't worry, there is more warmth and hotter numbers on the way. by noontime, we're already at 81 degrees, and i'm going to top you out at the low 90s today. even hotter. tomorrow i'll show

you the full microclimate forecast coming up. and i think i have a fuller story now. south 101 i do believe all lanes are clear right here. south 101 passing by marsh. but at the split between the offramp and the freeway, there's still activity. cars are there in the median or in the gore point. and so you will be distracted. also, the major injuries may actually just be an injured wrist. that's much better update, but we'll watch what's going on for san jose. there's now slowing on 87 coming up. well chp sending out a warning after making more than a dozen arrests over the weekend, the agency conducted a so-called surge operation on saturday targeting sideshows with the video you see right here released from the chp after it deployed its airplane and helicopter to help in seven high speed chases. 13 people were arrested and eight stolen vehicles were recovered. this is all part of governor gavin newsom's effort to crack down on east bay crime now. last week, newsom announced that he's deploying even more chp officers to oakland. a former santa clara

county sheriff's captain is convicted of bribery and conspiracy charges back in 2020. captain james jensen was indicted on claims that he and other department employees withheld gun permits in exchange for campaign funds. a jury found him guilty yesterday, and in a statement, the sheriff's department says it supports the decision and the current sheriff has completely overhauled the concealed carry permit process. a sentencing date has not yet been scheduled. a south bay man talking about his scary encounter with an armed car thief. this is who fired at him outside his home. this happened about 24 hours ago on san pablo avenue in sunnyvale. kurt smiley says that he woke up to a sound of his car alarm blaring from his dodge challenger, and when he went outside, he actually saw a man with a black mask leaning over the car. he said, go back in. that's what he said. and all of a sudden shots were just

ringing out. and so i can they were just whizzing right by me. so i just scooted it. i just ran around the corner. you know, and just got back in the house. so sad. you know, thankfully he was not hit by any of that gunfire. and because he added anti-theft components to that car, the thieves took off empty handed. but before police arrived. well, starting today, bart takes the next step in transforming its gates to thwart fare jumpers. the new gates are taller, with more solid barriers. now bart has installed the first set of gates last december at the west oakland station. today, crews will install them at san francisco's civic center station. the project is expected to last several weeks, while commuters may have to adjust their regular exit patterns, bart expects the entire renovation to be completed in about 18 months, and hopefully it goes somewhere good. now, transit leaders on the peninsula, they are reportedly taking the first step in a bold new plan for a bus only lane.

this is alongside the dunbarton bridge. it would run parallel to the road bridge, along with long dormant dumbarton rail line. now, the mercury news reports that samtrans has approved $5 million for the feasibility study, environmental review and primarily design work. 2030 would be the soonest construction might begin well, new this morning. women's health care in the united states needs improvement. that's according to a new study by the commonwealth fund. the findings list california, connecticut and vermont as having the lowest maternal death rates of anywhere in the country. now, research researchers, i should say, credit the expansion of medicaid and smaller racial and ethnic disparities compared with other parts of the u.s. the three states are also among the top five in the u.s. with the fewest amount of women without prenatal care. the findings indicate the

highest maternal death rates happened in tennessee, in mississippi, as well as louisiana. well, the health care technology company is working to help connect older folks in need with some much needed help. and our own mike inouye joins us. mike, you're calling it a matchmaking website for seniors. am i getting that right? you are. but i think people are taking the wrong connotation. so i mean, look, ginger and marcus, there's a report from the federal reserve bank of new york that started this whole thing off for me. it shows a correlation between a decline in one's credit score and a drop in one's cognitive health. so we'll start there. this eventually brought me to neel shah, the ceo of career health technologies. some of the teams with neel's healthcare platform are actively actually collaborating with large research institutions around the country, discovering ways that data, along with all related technologies which can be used to help develop tools to help with detection and the diagnosis of potentially

oncoming age related conditions. interestingly enough, we get a lot of referrals from financial advisors. you know who are the first line of defense against somebody, seeing cognitive decline by changes in spending patterns, changes in investment patterns. you know, we think the financial scores and credit scores, should be part of a multimodal, ai detection to help people with, screening and kind of predicting cognitive decline. and then taking actions accordingly so they don't make mistakes that are disastrous for their financial future. but the other part of neel's kari hall is that matchmaking service or alluding to it's sort of a matchmaking service where they pair those in need of elder care with those who would benefit from performing the care. so in the bay area through korea, you can go to a site book online, in less than two minutes and you will get a wonderful pre-health careers college student from berkeley, stanford, san francisco state, san jose state. you know, depending on where you are, one of these wonderful universities, to come and help

you for 20 bucks an hour. so half the cost of traditional care, way more convenient and faster to book. and in my opinion, way higher quality of care. you know, these students aren't just doing it for the money, but they really want the experience towards future clinical careers. so this really hooked me. i asked more questions. korea boasts a network of over 18,000 such students in this area or across the nation, looking to match with those who are in need. the students, in turn, get a paying job and a real life patient experience as they move toward their goal of a job in the health care field. so this area of health care, elder care, as we talk about it's got, well, it's related to the conditions and changes so they can observe that this is huge because what i think from what neel told me, we're looking at 29 million of us in the sandwich generation, where we have those who are younger than us, who are caring for as well as those who are older than us, who are caring for. so we're sandwiched in between. and so this could be a potentially huge, boon to us where we're stretching our time. i say us because my family, my wife's family, we're all this,

we're in many situations, the same around the bay area. and so we could really use perhaps a little bit better pricing and then helping the medical students get real life bedside patient experience. i mean, this could be a great, teamwork. and then on top of that, they have the whole research aspect of this as well. so they're using this to develop new technologies to help diagnose and detect. so this is a potentially huge area of interest for me. so i'll be following this. it's a huge win all around i think. so it seems like this. and he's around the country but loves the bay area because of the opportunities we have with research and technology. i know we've talked about that, that is definitely a much needed win across all boards, right? that it is all right weather wise. pretty much a win for us for the most part i think. so, yeah. if you love the warmer weather it's a win for you. it's summertime. why not. and tomorrow why not? fog blanketing san francisco right there towards sausalito. we are seeing more clearing skies through the rest of the bay area. 50s and 60s to start our day. we are under a heat advisory starting at ten this

morning, continuing until tomorrow night. so prepare yourself for some warmer temperatures in the north bay mid to upper 90s, as well as the east bay, tri valley and down in through parts of the south bay. i'm going to keep you some 70s and some 80s for now. for today along the immediate east bay shoreline. but for tomorrow, prepare for some even hotter temperatures as you wind down the week. we are looking at triple digits in santa rosa, concord, fairfield will approach those in morgan hill, san martin, los gatos, along the santa cruz beach boardwalk. we are looking at those temperatures in the low 80s. a lot of people will be moving there to get some relief. san francisco, half moon bay in the 70s. wow. my goodness. but the good news is that the weekend stays a little bit cooler, so that will be a brief break. it's thursday, i want to update you on the drought monitor a long time that we've talked about this, but as you know, the temperatures have warmed lack of rainfall and maybe some people missing that practice of conserving water. we are looking at some parts of the states

going into that abnormally dry color. the yellow you see on your screen. so remember to conserve water and keep those good practices in mind. i mentioned that the weekend is going to be a little bit cooler. concord. look at that. a bit of a heat spike towards the end of this workweek. cooler by the weekend. and then we see the heat return once again mid to upper 90s as we start our last full week of july. san francisco will also see warm temperatures right there in the city. 70s while our inland valleys. we need to find ways to cool down as we see those triple digits return on the board. mike, you have some slowing and a couple of crashes to update us. yeah, the slowing here, the bay bridge. no surprise, but i wanted to let folks know it is their peninsula. the crash is over on the shoulder or the gore point in marsh. so it's a distraction, but no lanes blocked anymore. and north 87. we may still have one lane blocked from an earlier crash. no major injuries, but it's a tough time because from capitol to curtner we start to see a build and now we see slowing. because of that distraction. back to you. thanks, mike. well,

happening now say south lake tahoe is implementing new measures to protect homes from wildfires. starting today. the city has banned plants and furniture from being placed five feet from homes. that includes combustible vegetation like brushes, flowers and pine needles, as well as items like sheds and hot tubs. mature trees would still be allowed, but low hanging branches would have to be cut. there is a grace period right now, but violators will eventually be cited and fined. this all comes as the state of california considers the same ban statewide. well there's much more ahead on today in the bay at six, including taking center stage. the message to america from donald trump's running mate, j.d. vance. also, what's expected tonight as trump speaks, keep it here
