from the women's gymnastics finals. and you know what? this comes a day after the men's team returned to the podium for the first time in nearly two decades. we're live in paris with all the excitement and the new concerns over whether the river scene is safe for competition, plus a landmark agreement which will revitalize oakland and avoid huge budget cuts. the new plans for the oakland coliseum, also narrowing down the field. a top potential candidate as kamala harris's running mate is dropping out, and republican vp candidate j.d. vance makes a stop in the bay area. a review of his pricey silicon valley fundraiser. this is today in the bay. a very good tuesday morning to you. 5:00 right now. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia, and i'm marcus washington. let's get a look at that forecast for you this morning. meteorologist kari hall has been tracking what we can expect out there. not too bad this morning. not bad. and we're starting out with cool temperatures across the bay area

with some clouds overhead. and as we go throughout the day, it's going to stay mostly cloudy at least through the morning. over the next several hours to about 10:00. we'll see those clouds linger and then clearing out as we go throughout the afternoon, temperatures gradually warming up. but it's going to be another nice one. only seeing high temperatures in the upper 70s in san jose, mid 70s for hayward. moraga today 80 degrees while vacaville will hit a high of 90, mostly low 80s in the north bay. it will be very much like yesterday, but then we are going to start to see things heating up for tomorrow as some of our inland valleys reach into the upper 80s and low 90s. we're up to 92 in morgan hill tomorrow afternoon, while napa will reach a high of 88 degrees and upper 60s in san francisco. the temperatures continue to ramp up on thursday. we'll see a lot more 90s in the inland valleys. concord reaching a high of 93 degrees and low 80s still for the south bay. so we'll be tracking all of the changes as

our temperatures heat up, and we'll talk about what's ahead heading into the weekend. that's coming up in the full microclimate forecast. perfect. we'll check back with you. thank you. kari. 502 right now developing this morning, oakland seals the deal to sell each share of the coliseum, which could help ease the city's massive budget shortfall. but not everyone is convinced it'll stop the bleeding today in the bay's ginger conejero saab joins us live this morning. and, ginger, i understand we may actually get more answers just a few hours from now. that's what we hope for. good morning to you, laura. there will be a press conference later this morning at ten. that is what we know so far. we don't know exact exactly what the announcement will be made, but we do know that that will happen. and we do know that the a's will be playing right over there. you can't really see it too much in the fog there. they'll be hosted by the san francisco giants tonight and tomorrow at oracle park. they'll be here in in san francisco for that series. now, after that, not much more time

in the regular season for the a's. let's take a live look at the oakland coliseum this morning. the a's have already been officially eliminated from playoff contention, but what is up for contention? what to do with that space after the team leaves now? yesterday, the city of oakland announced a new deal to sell its share of the coliseum complex for $105 million to the african american sports and entertainment group. city officials claim it will help oakland avoid budget cuts for the police and fire departments. now here is oakland mayor sheng thao in a prepared statement on the significance of that deal. it's so exciting. what this means is this is a huge change, not only for the city, but for generations of oaklanders and for an area that has been underinvested in for so many decades. now, in a written statement, the mayor's office continues on to say that their agreement with the a, c, g is a

massive win for oakland. she says, quote, let me be clear. this isn't just a short term solution that keeps police and fire stations open. it's a deal that will lead to a multibillion dollar investment in east oakland, which will bring business opportunities, affordable housing, tax revenue and community benefits for decades to come. but some are not convinced the oakland police officers union releasing their statement saying, quote, the opoa is doubtful that the sale of the oakland coliseum will solve the mayor's and the city council's epic mismanagement. we are deeply concerned for the safety of residents, businesses and our police officers. now, the mayor claims the sale will address the budgets, the city's budget shortfall. i should say. however, the developers have until 2026 to pay for the entire purchase in five installments. only $30 million will be expected by 2024. now, the oakland firefighters union says a budget could close up to five fire stations. that's about 20 to 25% of their fleet that

timeline for the firefighters would be cutting it. close agreement would be finalized at the towards the end of august. august 23rd. developers will pay within the first five days of that, leading a little bit closer to september, which is when firefighters are saying they need some of that money in order to avoid those cuts. we'll be keeping a close eye on this and bring you the latest on air. nbcbayarea.com laura. all right. i'll take it from here. ginger thank you. 505 for you this morning and republican vice presidential candidate j.d. vance continues his west coast campaign swing today in las vegas valley. this is before returning to the central valley tomorrow. now, last night, he returned to his stomping grounds. this is in silicon valley, attending the high price fundraiser at east palo alto four seasons. once there, he met with donors for about an hour. one photo shows the scene inside the event, hosted by bitgo ceo mike belshe. now outside, some waited for hours for a glimpse

of his motorcade, one source even telling us about 100 donors attended. chilling out anywhere from 3000 to $25,000. today's visits is in henderson, nevada, just outside of las vegas. fbi investigators, they are expected to interview former president trump on thursday as part of a probe into the assassination attempt in pennsylvania. now, agents say that it is part of the fbi's standard practice to speak with victims as part of criminal investigations. the special agent arranging that interview wants to get trump's personal perspective on what happened. the list of potential running mates for kamala harris just got shorter. north carolina governor roy cooper has officially withdrawn his name from the competition. a source tells nbc news cooper took himself out of the mix because he wants to run for the u.s. senate in 2026. cooper was seen as one of the leading contenders for the democratic ticket, along with senator mark kelly of arizona and governor josh

shapiro of pennsylvania. the harris campaign says she plans to announce her running mate by august seventh. a more fierce competition on tap for team usa today. here is a live look at the arc de triomphe, one of the famous parisian landmarks, which is seen many visitors during the paris olympics. but another famous landmark in the city of light is closed and athletes are now in a holding pattern. today in the bay's jessica aguirre joins us live from paris and jessica, a highly anticipated competition at the river city. and now just on hold. yeah, marcus and laura, it is sunny here today, but it's also 96 degrees and heavy rain is expected in the next couple of days. now this morning, the men's olympic triathlon was postponed super early in the morning over concerns about the bacteria levels in the river. sent that those would be unhealthy for the swimmers. so that was put on hold. now this is an ongoing concern because

paris officials have spent $1 billion to make sure that the water would be okay for that event. it has been iffy all along, but rain over the weekend and water runoff into the river postponed training earlier this week. now, this morning, another delay the ioc, the world triathlon governing body, and medical officials agreeing that they need another day to make sure that it is safe. as you know, the priority for, you know, the ioc world triathlon in paris, 2024 are the health of the athletes. and, you know, the test that were carried out on the sand revealed that water quality were not sufficient on the entirety of the course. that's why we immediately informed the athletes and the coaches as soon as the decision was taken at 4:00 in the mornin. yeah, so that was a last minute

call. now it is safe to go into the pool today. so that's what's happening for u.s. swimmer regan smith. i saw her last night when she aced her semifinals. today she is back in the pool and she says that she is jazz and that she has the right mental attitude today to take another gold. good. better. best prelims. the semi finals. and i know i think i put myself in a position to have a good lane tomorrow, and it's just about rising to the occasion, feeding off the energy of the crowd and being the best i can be with the best competition in the world. best competition in the world for sure. for team usa men's gymnastics. check it out. you must have seen this. the men changed olympic history taking bronze in the team event after a 16 year medal drought. the band of brothers elated, including stanford sophomore asher hong, who posted this pic on instagram showing his medal while standing in front of the eiffel tower.

week is looking sunny into the weekend and temperatures will be nice and comfortable at least into early next week. we'll be tracking all of that for you, and we'll get a look at the bay area's forecast as we head over to mike. he has a look at where we can find some lower gas prices. wow. merci, kari hall. let's look at the prices over here at the wall. still the top of our podium. san jose keeps the best price title. we'll mix it up by reporting 365 at gaugh on tully road. next up here, alameda county looks strong with 387 at dimond gas and mart on south front road. that's in livermore and in alameda county. a solano county is third on our chart. vallejo post 389 at the quick mention for quick stop on springs road give you a quick mention also for gasbuddy.com. that's where we're getting all the reports from, all of you. let's take a look at the roadways, which are very calm right now. no major issues going on as we look at the maps. we're talking about the top, though we do see a little bit of slowing

going on for westbound 37. the arrow shows you just a little bit slowing already started there out of vallejo. it's tuesday. we may see more traffic. marcus. so of course that's what we watch. all right. thanks, mike. all right. you know what? it's time to get rid of those jeans. yeah. ahead here on today in the bay, the retailer offering a denim exchange. and delta airlines hiring legal heavyweights after its long delays. plus and i do have a swimmer's body. look at our bodies are similar. mike. we could be twins. oh, you could be twins. snoop dogg hanging out with athletes and their families at the olympics. the one on one training he had with olympic gold medalist michael phelps. and a quick look at the medal count as we head to break. keep it right here. we'll be ritgh b.

on monday, said it was having trouble selling some burgers. more people eating at home because it's cheaper. $5 meal apparently going well too. well, maybe cutting into higher end options in the north bay. a battery company called motion is shutting down, according to staff. we reported on their layoffs a few weeks back, but this looks like a complete close the door, lock it behind you sort of thing. one point motion raised more than 100 million in funding. we get the jobs report this friday. despite that bad news, the monthly jobs reports have continued to be strong, and in the south bay, the san francisco business news reports uniqlo will open a new store at oak ridge shopping center. la union square with a lot of other chains as well. some success there. we will continue to follow. thanks so much, scott. talk a little target news this morning. they're launching its first ever denim takeback event next week

what a sport. yeah stupid. he's a cool guy. i mean, the way he's been able to transition from when we first met him. yeah, you know, different images, completely different images. and he's a grandfather now too. so, you know, we all grow up facts. all right. well, it's been a really nice to watch the olympics and all of the fun stuff that goes along with it too. snoop is hilarious, but we are looking live at some of our cameras around the bay area. the way we're starting out, our tuesday morning, we're in the low 60s. it is 65, in san jose, walnut creek, 60 degrees, and we're in the upper 50s right now in san francisco. the clouds lingering a lot longer today, but it has been so hot this july. and in livermore, if you're checking that pg&e bill like, what in the heck? okay, so last year at this time, we had six days during the month of july with 100 plus degree days

this year, double that. we've had 12 days over 100 degrees. and even more for those 95 degree days. so the average high right now is running 95.9 degrees for that average high temperature. and this is now the hottest july in record for the tri valley. looking elsewhere across the bay area, also well above average temperatures. and so far, if we continue on this route, we are going to wrap up the month of july with, well above average temperatures and most likely setting some records as you average out those daily high temperatures today. it still feels nice. we're in the upper 70s in san jose and it's been nice to have this break. we will continue to see temperatures today in the 70s and 80s for the east bay upper 80s for antioch, but for oakland it will be 73 degrees in half moon bay, 64 degrees and 80 in redwood city, san francisco's back to the upper 60s. and for the north bay, we're going to

see highs ranging from mid 60s in bodega bay to ukiah, high temperature of 94 in santa rosa. we're looking at a high of about 84 degrees. and it gradually will warm up over the next few days. i'll be tracking that for you and we'll have another update. mike, you're starting out with the note about bart. yeah. while we look over here. emeryville behind me here, and getting over toward the bay bridge. everything is moving very smoothly. the flashing lights don't worry there in the parking lots, and they're just mostly security machines over there. we're looking over toward the bart system, where yesterday we did have that red line that was out of service early in the morning and then came back, and then it was out of service again starting about early afternoon, about midday. and so we have had no update. they didn't say it reopened, but they haven't been any postings about red line service yesterday. you did have to transfer at the macarthur station. so watch those overhead signs. we're still waiting for confirmation from the bart system. meanwhile, we're looking at highway 37. the only slowing that really shows up for the morning commute, right now on this tuesday. back to you. thanks, mike. well, next here on

you all on this tuesday. i'm marcus washington and i'm laura garcia. before we watch the goal, let's start early this morning with a look of the forecast. meteorologist kari hall is tracking what we can expect right here in the bay area. starting out this morning with the marine layer and the low clouds stretching into the east bay. but not quite making it to walnut creek. so you can see there in the distance with a clear sky overhead. we are waking up to some mild temperatures this morning in the low 60s, and we'll see those clouds clearing out around 10:00 today. the rest of the day sunny. it's going to be a nice one with our highs here reaching into the mid 80s and some upper 70s for san jose. while in fremont we'll see a high of 73, also 73 in oakland and low 80s for much of the north bay. we'll talk about some warmer air and the end of our week forecast coming up in a few minutes. all right. thanks so much, kari. well, a bold new plan this morning to potentially add millions of new homes in california. and it all starts

with california schools today in the bay's bob redell here with that plan. and, bob, this really could open all sorts of new affordable housing options. that is the plan. good morning to yo, marcus. we all know how expensive it is to not only live here in california, but right here in the bay area. housing costs so much that many people, including teachers, can't afford to work here. so later this morning, the state superintendent of public instruction, tony thurmond, he'll propose a plan to build affordable housing for teachers and staff like custodians and food service workers on land already owned by school districts. now, yesterday we spoke with the superintendent, who tells us that school districts throughout the state combined own about 75,000 acres of land that could be developed for 2.3 million units of affordable housing. this is land that, for example, is vacant or houses schools that have shut down. the superintendent wants to encourage districts to partner with developers, perhaps in a long term land lease, to develop affordable rental housing, to give teachers a

place to live while they save up for, let's say, a house or more long term housing. some districts in the state, like los angeles unified and the jefferson elementary school district in daly morning with te superintendent. the state department of education cannot force a school districts to develop this land, but they want to help encourage and facilitate such development and make them aware of things such as millions of dollars in tax cuts from the state for affordable housing. for a plan like this to work someone has to shepherd it and guide it. and that's what we're leaning in to do, because we see the need for both educators. we see the need in our communities across the state, this is something innovative that has not been tried before, but we think that the reward, the rewards outlined are greater than the risk. and so we are pushing forward and going to help schools figure out how to do this. the superintendent

would like to see the law change, to open up this kind of housing to everyone in the state and talk about housing that we built on school land. on august 14th, the superintendent will convene a housing summit to come up with other ideas on how to speed up housing development statewide. he says he's also sponsoring a bill that if passed, would raise teacher salaries by 50% by 2030. bob redell today in the bay all right, bob, thank you. in napa county, a woman was rushed to the hospital after she was hit by a police truck. it happened last night just after seven in calistoga at the intersection of berry street and washington street. it's unclear if she was in the crosswalk. she did suffer major injuries. there is no update on her condition. now to a live look in san francisco. this is where homeless advocates are expressing disappointment over the recent threat at the city and state level to crack down on encampments. mayor london breed now vowing to get tough with the unhoused who refuse city services. now, late

last week, governor gavin newsom issued an order. this is for cities across the state seemingly authorizing homeless sweeps in light of the recent grants pass supreme court decision, community leaders will join advocates today for a news conference denouncing the new strategy. it takes place at 11 a.m. just outside a new city mid-market hotel. developing new now crews across california are continuing to battle massive wildfires in the state. first is the burro fire in kern county. it started last wednesday in the kern river canyon, spreading rapidly due to strong winds. a historic mining community has been decimated as firefighters have tried to battle this massive blaze at least 80,000 acres have burned, so far. today, governor newsom will travel to kern county to meet with fire and emergency management officials. they'll talk to communities impacted by that. fire crews battling the

park fire in butte county are making some progress. the blaze, now 14%, contained investigators say the fire was ignited by a suspected arsonist who is now in custody., kari. yeah. laura. the park fire is by far the worst fire this season, and the sixth largest in california history. it's putting up immeasurable plumes of smoke into the atmosphere and in a warmer climate, wildfire activity has become more dangerous. a slight shift in wind direction or speed can drastically change. how much smoke comes into your neighborhood in an instant. and this time of year, monitoring air quality is just as important as the weather. the aqi or air quality index ranges from good to moderate to unhealthy to sensitive groups to hazardous for everyone. one thing is that when it says unhealthy for sensitive groups to first know

who are those sensitive groups, and in general it's children, the elderly and people with preexisting conditions. but even, you know, anybody could experience discomfort from bad air quality. and you may have health impacts even if you're not quite realizing it. so but once it gets into the red, then it really is something that everyone can take steps to protect themselves. and there's two main things that you can do. one is to stay indoors in a environment that has an air filtration system. and also just limiting your time outside and breathing in that wildfire smoke can cause irritation to the eyes, nose and throat, as well as coughing, wheezing and difficulty breathing. it can also cause headaches, chest pain and a fast heartbeat, and the odor of the smoke can be nauseating and long term effects could worsen heart conditions and lung conditions such as asthma and bronchitis. for more on how climate change is affecting the bay area and

solutions go to nbcbayarea.com and look for our climate in crisis page. and mike, you've been watching the tuesday commute. yeah. you expect tuesday to have a heavier volume. and as we talk about coming toward the end of the summer months, sorry, kids, if you're up already, that's what's happening. we're seeing a little more traffic. we expect a little more throughout the week, but so far monday was pretty light. tuesday looking good o the bart lines. we hadn't heard about any delays this morning for the red line, so i'm going to say that red line is okay. bart still hasn't gotten to us with any changes, although yesterday there was that second shutdown because of the electrical issue, the fire that they had over the weekend. this morning, highway 37 does show the build coming out of vallejo pretty standard there. highway four as well. nothing else for contra costa county. relatively light. we'll watch as we do have that build that's going on over at the bay bridge. we saw a few more cars this evening. we'll look ahead because things are pretty calm right now. there's a giants game. giants versus a's i listed giants because it's their home turf there. but that's at 645. so we may have more bay bridge

traffic. and then getting away from the game afterwards. of course out of the city gets congested there. 280 extension as well. the posey tube overnight maintenance again tonight and tomorrow night as well. so you'll have to use those bridges just to the south and not far from here at the oakland coliseum, there will be a concert of south korean artists. there so there will be crowds there as well. there's a crash in san jose will look like the slowing has started. i'll check on the details coming up. back to you. sounds good. thanks, mike. well, our investigative unit recently exposed safety risks involving self-driving vehicles. well, now, the mayor of san francisco sharing a warning for driverless car companies near school campuses ahead in today in the bay, we're going to look at the action the city has taken in response from waymo and decision 2024. we're starting to see a bit of a sense of humor come into place, and one of the most anticipated competitions of the olympics in paris is happening this morning. we are talking about the women's team

competition, and we have a local gym that's inviting everybody to come in and watch all together. who knows, maybe

safety hazards involving driverless cars and young children. it was back in may when we first told you about our investigation. we surveyed 30 crossing guards stationed at more than 20 schools throughout san francisco and nearly one out of four told us they experienced some type of close call in the crosswalk with a driverless car operated by waymo. that's google's sister company. well, now san francisco's mayor london breed, is calling our findings concerning and we've also been told city officials now plan to meet with leaders at waymo next month to address the safety concerns. we've also been told training for school crossing guards has been revamped in the city to now include, for the first time, safety discussions specifically about driverless cars, and that new training begins next week. now you can get caught up on our full investigation right now on our website. that's nbcbayarea.com slash investigations with the investigative unit. i'm bigad shaban 544 for you right now and

to decision 2024. the harris campaign raising another $3.5 million overnight on a zoom cal. and this time scott mcgrew. it was a group called white dudes for harris. we've had women of color. we now got white dudes, as they call themselves. these zoom rallies have really worked out for the campaign. the harris campaign, even when they don't take an active role in them. here's a clip from last night. welcome everybody, you are on the white dudes for harris, zoom call that we've been pushing out, i just, i want to start by saying, you know, just thank you. so much for being here. more than 180,000 people participated last night, including jeff bridges, the dude who was very excited to participate. i qualify, man, i'm white, he said. i'm a dude and i'm for harris, a woman president. man. how exciting. a lot of things have changed for the democrats. obviously, the biggest change is who's running

for president, but also their tone. young people would say there vibe. there's a sense of humor. president biden had positioned the upcoming election as a battle for democracy itself. you remember the dark warnings he gave in that speech in philadelphia and while the harris campaign agrees with biden's assessment, she's also willing to have fun with herself and the other side and some of what he and his running mate are saying. well, it's just plain weird. i mean, that's the box you put that in right now. this was over the weekend. several in the harris campaign have picked up on this idea of calling trump and vance and their ideas weird. former president trump will speak at the national association of black journalists annual convention in chicago today. it's our understanding he will take questions from those reporters now, that starts at 9 a.m. our time. so we'll show you that on our midday news. so

those are the people that want to be president. the president, meanwhile, expanded on his ideas to reform the supreme court. biden wants a constitutional amendment that establishes presidents are not above the law, and another amendment adding term limits to the high court. second thing i'm asking for we've had term term limits for presidents of the united states for nearly 75 years after the truman administration, and i believe we should have term limits for supreme court justices of the united states as well. some critics have called biden's ideas unconstitutional. of course, any proposed revision to the constitution is outside the constitution until it's adopted. amendments, though, take years, likely decades. and j.d. vance was here in the bay area monday, raising money for the race at the four seasons in east palo alto. we'll tell you more about that. marcus at the top of the hour. all right. thanks so much, scott. all righ. with new school year around the corner, san jose's sacred heart

community service is starting. its backpack giveaway over the next few days. this is 4000 backpacks will be distributed to san jose unified families who registered in advance. each of those bags will include critical school supplies. today's giveaway is going to take place over at sacred heart's location on first street in san jose, and donations are still accepted. always nice to see. all right, look at this a live look. we're going to give it to you of paris this morning. the host of this year's olympics. and where team usa holding tight to an overall lead in the medal count so far. and it's likely we will actually add to that as the women's gymnastics team and simone biles in particular go for gold today. and while we can't make it a paris cheer to the team on, of course bay area fans are gathering to watch party in the south bay for us today in the bay's kris sanchez joining us live this morning at twisters gymnastics in santa clara. and,

chris, are you about to hit the vault? the balance beam. what do you got for us this morning? i was a big summer salter back in my day. not professionally trained, self-taught. so it's kind of nice to be here at twisters gymnastics in santa clara. they are very excited. they're actually opening the doors and they will be hosting a watch party for anybody who wants to come watch ■team usa today. one of the owners is allen fuzzyleo. thanks so much for joining us. you're a gymnast yourself. you were at cal. yeah, yeah, 1994 to 1998. and what was your big event? my big event before i got hurt was rings. oh, wow. yeah. wow. what did you think of the men's competition last night? i saw that little clark kent moment. yeah. incredible. incredible. i think the guys haven't won a medal since 2008. yes. so, yeah, it ends a 16 year drought, but i think it was more of the character of the guys. that was really fun to watch. yeah, really exciting. i mean this doesn't happen overnight obviously. you know, we heard simone biles saying that she got

her start. she was like six years old and she was just watching some of the big girls doing things, and she was trying to imitate them. and that's when the coach approached the parent and said, hey, maybe she should do gymnastics. yeah. i mean, that's how it that's how it starts. and usually it starts in an olympic year. kids get inspired by people like simone biles. yeah, you know, our we've gotten a lot of people just wanting to do trial classes just because they're inspired by her. well, and we see two little ones over here that are inspired as well. we have remy, who is in the red shirt. she's actually pretty competitive. that's your older daughter. your younger daughter. is benton there? and, she's seven. so how is it to go from i think i might want to try it to elite competition, it's a process, and what we do here is we kind of go with how the kid, what the kid is giving us. and that's always been our philosophy, remy. from a very early age, since she was five

years old, always wanted to be a high level gymnast. and we've kind of groomed her into being a really independent kid who actually trains by herself because her mom and i are teaching recreational and in the lower levels, so we just keep an eye on her. but she makes her own conditioning. she does her own schedule. we give her feedback, obviously, but you know, she's grown into a pretty independent, strong kid. and that's what i that's what we love about it. i mean, she just looks so relaxed and just so natural and like, it's unbelievable how hard that would be for a regular person. yeah, it takes years of training. she starred in the tops program at ussag and then you know, we decided that the elite path wasn't for our family. we have a special needs daughter who is not here, who's our middle child, so remy's goal is to, compete in college. that is exciting. and she's about she's

about the age where they start recruiting is what you were telling me. yeah. so next year. yeah, she'll be at that age. okay, so we, twisters is opening the doors so that people can come in and watch in community. it's always much more fun that way. you can't see it right now, but they're projecting it up on the gym's screen. so anybody who comes in, they're going to be sitting on, you know, these bouncy floors that we see simone biles like bouncing all over on. and, you know, if you want to get your kids inspired and get them thinking about physical movement, there's so little of that in school nowadays, maybe this is a good opportunity to get together. some are still in full force. so doors open. the competition is at nine. i believe you guys will correct me if i'm wrong, but, certainly a fun way to experience the olympics. yeah. isn't that part of it? i mean, i feel like we all watch the games and everyone's inspired in some way of like, wow, if i could have done that, or maybe i'll swim, or maybe i'll do i. well, actually, yeah. our, our time is probably passed. well, you know, maybe i think if they have

senior olympics, maybe we can get in on that. laura? i mean, we have the paralympics. we have the regular olympics. how about the senior olympics? the senior? the golden olympics? i'll roll around in this chair. kris kris. you're still young. how about you get on those rings and show us some of those iron cross moves or something like that. the rings. i definitely could not do. i could do a summer exercise. then we'll give you that one. and i like the rhythmic gymnastics i ribbon on that. we can do synchronized. oh yeah i see it. yeah 2028. now that's a show la i feel like we're making you sweat. kris she hasn't even gotten on the floor a little bit in my silky gold. go ahead and practice and this is about as close to gold as i'm going to get the next hour. doing a routine for us. we've got you covered. love you. kris yeah, i think in the newsroom we could get in those rolling chairs and do some volleyball. yeah, absolutely. you see the

sitting volleyball. so that's rough man. i want to do that. all right, all right. we're gonna bust that out. it's gonna be too happy with that. just don't knock anything over. newsroom. don't break the computers. we still have coverage. it's a beautiful start this morning as we take a live look outside in walnut creek. you're heading out to a clear sky. but look at all the fog over san francisco looking from up above so that you can see the sunrise. this morning, and then going to the north bay, where we can see that fog rolling by low visibility in spots. and it is now 55 degrees. we will see that fog linger through about 8:00 and then start to clear out the rest of the day. sunny and temperatures in the mid 70s at noon. eventually we'll make it up to 77. in san jose today, 82 in los gatos. and these temperatures for much of the bay area is at or even slightly below. what's normal for this date, but it will still be warm in antioch with a high of 89 degrees. you can see our microclimates in full effect with some mid 60s and half moon bay, but in palo alto it will be

82 today and upper 60s for san francisco. for the north bay it will be in the mid 60s near the coast and as hot as 94 in ukiah. today we've been talking about the heat returning over the next few days. high pressure moving in. that's going to push back our natural ac and give us more of an offshore wind as the jet stream remains just to our north. so take a look at the trend in our temperatures that goes from mid 80s in our warmer spots today to low 90s, and then we'll see some mid 90s for the weekend. unfortunately, it looks like it gets even hotter early next week. but for san francisco it's nice and cool here. as the fog continues, highs will reach into the 60s. and mike, what's going on with that crash in san jose? well you know we see this slowing still on this camera. north 101. this is approaching two the 8680 interchange. and in fact the slowing starts back around tully almost story road and tully road as you're getting northbound on 101. but the crash is on the shoulder still a distraction. there's a sedan and another pickup truck as well, and so folks can have lanes

clear, but they still distracted, and that's the slower stretch. it has not rippled on to 280. i'm hoping this will improve shortly because this is probably the end of the first burst of traffic. and then again, the next one kicks in about 640 in the morning. everything else looks standard for the bay. back to you. all right. thanks, mike. well, happening now, parts of the san jose state university campus in the dark this morning because pg&e repair work in downtown san jose. crews are actually replacing the underground transformer near the school. and they say that many campus operations were shut down yesterday, including the school's library. pg&e says that it hopes to have power fully restored by today. as you heard from kris moments ago, excitement growing for team usa's gymnastics team. but what about the athletes competing in the triathlon? it's been postponed twice. now we're going to take you out live to paris this morning where there are concerns over whether the event will need to be relocated. relocated

and avoid huge budget cuts. the new deal for the coliseum and fears it m
