6:01 am
live look outside in walnut creek. beautiful cotton candy skies as we wake up to the final weekend of the olympics. thank you so much for starting it with us. i'm kiera clapper. cinthia pimentel has a quick look at our microclimate forecast. how's it looking, cynthia? definitely some beautiful skies out towards walnut creek, but windshield wipers out towards san francisco and the peninsula. some fog there as of course we are in the middle of fog is 50s and some low 60s down here in the south bay, but a bit cooler up towards the north bay. 52 in novato, 54 in santa rosa. as we plan our day, we will get into some sunshine and some warming. i think today will be the warmest day of the weekend as we go to some 80s down here in to san jose enjoy the second day of the jazz festival down there. so some hotter temperatures though, as we move further inland. i'm expecting some 90s in some spots. you will also notice the hazy sunshine as we continue to see the wildfire smoke to our
6:02 am
north, and we will be expecting a cool down as we go on tomorrow and into next week. i'll be back with that in a few minutes. kara, back to you. all right. cynthia thanks. we'll see you soon. today is the penultimate day of the 2024 paris olympics. a live look for you. 3 p.m. on saturday afternoon, the eiffel tower on the left of course, and the olympic cauldron on the right of your screen. continuing to burn in the tuileries garden. and you could say that flame is firing up team usa's men's basketball to bring home gold later today. it has been a nail biter to get to this point, and some of the nba's best, including warriors star steph curry, proved their worth on the international stage today. in the bay's jessica aguirre is in paris with a front row seat. to all the excitement. good morning for my final rendezvous from paris. here, i wanted to bring you here to the basilica of sacré-coeur. it sits atop of montmarte and aside from the eiffel tower, it is the most visited tourist destination in
6:03 am
all of paris. it is also the site of perpetual adoration. they pray here morning, noon and night. and they've been doing that for 140 years. it is stunning up here. also stunning what happened in the track. sha'carri richardson who came into this olympics as the fastest woman in the world, finally got that olympic gold. she and melissa jefferson benecia torri and gabrielle thomas finished first in the four by 100 meter relay. great britain close second, followed by germany. richardson ran the 100 meter earlier this week, where she got silver. crossing the finish line. it was a phenomenal feeling, knowing that all of the ladies that i worked with on the four by one knew that we all did the things that we needed to do to go forward and to get me across the finish line first. the four by 100 relay olympic medal drought continues for the u.s. men, who were disqualified after crossing the finish line in seventh place. the team bungled that
6:04 am
handoff. the exchange was late and one of the teammates actually had to nearly stop to accept the baton. by the time he received it, team usa was out of position. now, good news for anna cockrell, who's originally from san ramon. she earned silver in the women's 400 meter hurdles yesterday, and i spoke to her earlier today about what was going through her mind as she approached that finish line. i don't know if i had a coherent thought that i can say on camera, but i just i couldn't believe it. i mean, i knew that if i executed my race plan that my coach and i had talked about, it was going to be a good one. it was going to be a fast one. so i just went for it. i knew i had executed my race and i was just like, i'm pretty sure i got silver, i'm pretty sure. but i saw my name up there and i was like, holy crap, i can't believe it. usa men's volleyball also bringing home some hardware. the team taking home the bronze. a tough fight against italy, but team usa managed to win all three sets. stanford grad eric
6:05 am
shoji celebrating that win after the big win, middle blocker taylor averill from san jose excited to come home with a shout out for the bay area. so, so honored to represent the bay. a super appreciate the support. i'm tired. i'm ready for a vacation. i'm ready to come home. i love you guys. thank you so much for the support. it means a lot. water polo women play for bronze in just a few hours. here, let's talk basketball. women's basketball team usa hasn't lost at the olympics since 1992. they won their 60th consecutive game today against australia in the semis. they're going to face france sunday to fight for a record eighth straight gold medal. and it was a star studded group sitting courtside for the game. several members of the us men's basketball team, including kevin durant, were there cheering the women on. now breaking made its highly anticipated debut here at the olympics, and there were a lot of moves. the us had several women competing, including sunny choi or b-girl sunny and logan.
6:06 am
edra, who goes by b-girl logistics now. unfortunately, neither made it to the finals. japan took gold, lithuania won silver, and won china bronze. one breaker who didn't win a medal is breaking social media, though, for her moves. doctor rachel gunn from australia, has become a social media star for her, shall we say, unique style. she incorporates what appears to be a nod to her country. the hop. and when she's not breaking b-girl regan works at a university in australia. 36 year old holds a phd in cultural science and lectures on the cultural politics of breaking. while the aussies have certainly made an impression here, both in the pool, in water polo and swimming, and now you can add breaking to it as well. and i want to leave you with my final impression of paris. check it out. a city that is rich in culture and beauty and majesty, which has certainly pulled off
6:07 am
these games with class and style in paris. jessica aguirre, nbc bay area news, not a bad view, jess. thanks. a glance for you at some of the final games and matches before tomorrow's closing ceremony. again, that gold medal game today for men's basketball. steph, k.d. and lebron back on the court. team usa versus host country france at 1230. also going for the gold usa women's soccer usa versus brazil. plenty of bay area stars to watch on the pitch at eight this morning, and be sure to watch future stanford cardinal megumi field coming off a historic silver medal win with the us artistic swimming team. women's duet finals are at three this afternoon. we're going to turn to other news now. a developing story new overnight. we have learned that former ceo of youtube has died. susan wojcicki was just 56. her husband of 26 years, dennis
6:08 am
troper, posted the announcement on facebook late last night, saying that the mother of five died following a two year battle with lung cancer back in 1998. two stanford students rented wojcicki's menlo park garage, where they would famously co-found and launch google, among other titles. wojcicki was the first project product manager for google's adsense. the current ceo of google posted on x that he was saddened by the loss of susan, and that he would miss her dearly. wojcicki was the ceo of youtube for nine years before stepping down in 2023 to focus on family and health. she was one of time's 100 most influential people of 2015. her sister, anne wojcicki, is the founder of 23andme. turning now to the latest in the race for the white house, both candidates on the campaign trail trying to sway undecided voters. and this weekend, vice president kamala harris is headed back to the bay area. her home for the
6:09 am
first time since announcing her announcing her presidential candidacy today in the bay's thom jensen was in san francisco, where some of the region's wealthiest donors are looking forward to seeing harris and maybe her running mate, tim walz tomorrow. reporter the harris campaign hasn't confirmed, but bloomberg is reporting the sunday fundraiser will be at the fairmont hotel, and there are rumors the vice president could make a surprise appearance at outside lands. tickets to sunday's invitation only event range from $3,300 to a half million dollars, and anything less than a quarter of $1 million sold out by thursday morning. i mean, people are just over the moon that kamala harris is back in san francisco. this will be harris' first visit to the bay area since announcing her presidential campaign, and her running mate, minnesota governor tim walz. but the campaign has been busy. oh my goodness. oh, it's good to be back in arizona. good evening everyone. speaking at a rally in
6:10 am
arizona after several stops and other hotly contested battleground states, the campaign has added tens of millions of dollars to its war chest. this week and hopes to keep building it in san francisco this weekend. because, you know, we do have, you know, a very active donor base. and so it's not surprising that with the energy behind the harris campaign, due to the timing of the visit, there's also speculation that harris will make an appearance at outside lands, possibly when pop star chapelle rhone performs sunday afternoon. well, what we really need is a big knighton. harris uses one of ron's songs and social media outreach, and she's now selling camouflage baseball caps closely resembling the midwest princess caps that ron sells, but no confirmation yet that she will in fact appear at the festival. kamala harris is in demand. and so, you know, people want to see her. people want to hear from her. people want to hear what her vision is for america. we reached out to the harris campaign but have not heard back. thom jensen today in
6:11 am
the bay. in montana, former president donald trump, also on the campaign trail, but on the way to the treasure state, trump's plane had to be diverted due to mechanical issues. fortunately, his plane landed safely in billings. trump then took a private jet, 150 miles away to bozeman. for that rally. the secret service says the plane's mechanical problem was not related to any security issue. back here locally, the outside lands music festival and thousands of music fans are back at golden gate park yesterday. today and tomorrow. today is the second day of the celebration of music, food and art. this year's headliners include the killers, sabrina carpenter, post malone doing what's being advertised as an all country set. fans, we talked to say the biggest buzz may be around singer chappell roan's show on sunday and her look, it's not just music though. that will bring an
6:12 am
estimated 200,000 people to the park this weekend. there also is an expanded food beer and wine lineup with more than 100 local restaurants. fans say it's an event well worth coming back fo. the people. the atmosphere at golden gate park, the way that it's all set up, i think san francisco has really done a good job of just setting this festival up in such a way that it has brought me back, so many times. san francisco city leaders say outside lands is expected to pump an estimated $75 million into the local economy. just about 12 past the hour. we have much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up, a protest at one of the biggest homeless camps in the south bay as the governor takes a tough new line on the homeless crisis, advocates speaking out a
6:13 am
6:14 am
6:15 am
introducing togo's new barbecue beef sandwich. it's piled high with tender beef that's slow cooked and smothered in tangy memphis style barbecue sauce. it's no fuss, no muss. just tons of flavor. the best barbecue beef is only a togo's. try one today. skies over downtown san jose. cinthia pimentel will be, along with i think, the coolest forecast in quite some time in just a few moments. but first, out of the south bay, it was a defiant response to governor newsom's threat that he'll cut funding from cities that don't do enough to address homelessness. advocates for the unsheltered in the south bay say
6:16 am
threats won't help solve the problem. community groups spoke from the edge of the jungle, which is one of the south bay's longest running and largest encampments. it's located along coyote creek. advocates yesterday said. it's a perfect example of why the governor's threat won't work. something the mayor of san jose disagreed with. only slightly. they had a massive sweep here, cleared everybody out, and now it's full of people again. so moving people around is not the solution to homelessness. and if we can get every city and county to do their fair share, we can end the era of encampments. but we can't do it if we simply push homeless folks back and forth between cities and the governor says in january, he'll begin evaluating cities and cutting funds if necessary. a follow up now on a bart system outage earlier this week, bart now believes someone vandalized the system, forcing the outage. bart initially said a network issue stopped all trains thursday
6:17 am
morning between the berryessa north, san jose and hayward stations took about eight hours to get everything fully back up and running. but now, bart says, someone purposely stopped the trains. they're still trying to figure out who did it, and why. a portion of a bay area highway could soon be renamed in honor of willie mays. state senators bill dodd of napa and scott wiener of san francisco submitted a resolution to rename a piece of i-80. they want to call the part that connects the bay bridge to san francisco the willie mays highway. they say the hey the say, hey, kid. pardon me, died in june at the age of 93. the state senate transportation committee will now decide on that resolution. pairing up small businesses with empty storefronts. that's san jose's solution to revitalize its downtown. six women owned businesses opened at two vacant storefronts on san jose's post
6:18 am
street. it's part of the city's retail pop up program, giving qualifying businesses a place to open and a year lease to start the city. then negotiates discounted rent with the landlord and the city in downtown. association subsidize that cost. in return, the shops give 10% of what they make back to the city's pop up retail program. fund the proceeds are back to dazzle the sky. the annual meteor shower has been active since july, but it'll peak tomorrow night and ramp up into early monday morning. it will be one of the brightest and most easily viewed showers of the year. this you see here is videos from last year. we are expecting more than 50 meteors per hour this year. the shower will last through september 1st. they're the most visible between midnight and pre-dawn hours. trending this morning. if you have been waiting all year for pumpkin spice season, the wait is almost over. that's according to a food blogger. marcie devoe
6:19 am
has correctly predicted 2022 and 2023 zigzag date of pumpkin spice season returning. he is predicting a release of august 22nd after he says employees leaked their fall menu to him. starbucks has not said when the lattes are returning. we all know outside lands is happening this weekend, but that's not the only big music festival happening in the bay area, cause i'll be loving you always. until the rain. the calista moon in the sky. ooh. front row seat. this video from our producer dana lights, who was at the first day of the san jose jazz summer fest. the band incognito was the headliner. the three day event started yesterday afternoon. we are talking 45 acts on nine stages, covering genres from jazz to r&b, blues, latin and swing. headliners include herbie hancock. the main
6:20 am
stage is located at plaza de cesar chavez. one day tickets start at $43. three day passes are 135. time now to check in with cinthia pimentel for your microclimate forecast. i always feel like it's cold when outside lands happens, but maybe it will be a little nicer in the south bay for the blues festival. i remember when i went one time i spent $65 on a blanket to and i was still freezing. yeah, it was freezing out there. thank goodness they have those merch tents. the south bay, nice and comfortable. go see herbie hancock. yeah, let's enjoy some other things around the bay area. you can see the festival right there in downtown. we are starting off with some patchy clouds, 60s. but then into the afternoon we should see some mid 80s return there in downtown. beautiful skies through livermore 57. it is a bit of a cooler morning. 59 out towards walnut creek. those beautiful cotton candy skies but a different picture painting. more of that fall in through san
6:21 am
rafael 54 degrees. you might also be using those windshield wipers as you make your way down into the golden gate bridge, further down into the coastline. and as we take a look at our hour by hour planner, we could be seeing some patchy clouds and drizzle to about mid-morning before we get into some clearing into the afternoon for our inland valleys. of course, the fog will spend its saturday out towards the coastline. you might also notice that the skies look a little bit hazy as we take a look at our near surface smoke map. we do have some major fires up into el dorado county. the park fire, of course near chico, and that with the wind pattern will bring in some hazy skies. at times it will be moderate, could turn into unhealthy for people that are most sensitive to it. so just something to take note of as we plan our saturday around the bay. so we'll do mid 80s there for san jose to some 90s down into the south county. it's the second day of the gilroy rodeo. how fun. 92 degrees. make sure you lather up that sunscreen and find ways to cool yourself down into the east bay. we see a range of

6:23 am
some 80s so slightly cooler there for our inland valleys and san francisco. we will keep it in the 60s with that mix of sun and clouds, so not too bad as we go through the month. can't believe it. middle of the month. i can't believe it either. back to school so soon? oh yeah. oh my goodness. all right cynthia, thanks. 22 past the hour. next on today in the bay nbc bay area response this weekend. you can help bay area students start off the new school year on the right foot and with a backpack full of necessary supplies, i'm chris chmura. i'll show you how we're

country set. it's not just music, of course. an estimated 200,000 people pack into golden gate park for food, beer, wine, more than 100 restaurants participating. bands say it is worth coming back year after year. the people, the atmosphere at golden gate park, the way that it's all set up, i think san francisco has really done a good job of just setting this festival up in such a way that it has brought me back, so many times. san francisco city leaders estimate outside lands pumps an estimated $75 million into the local economy, and while thousands are flocking to golden gate park, there is one act that's expected to see massive crowds. despite not being a headliner. we're talking about up and coming singer chappell roan, who just broke a major record at lollapalooza. oh
6:37 am
my goodness, that crowd. festival officials in chicago now say that roan broke the record for the largest crowd in lollapalooza history. the midwest princess says she's called was originally set to play a smaller stage, but officials moved her to the main stage after her recent surge in popularity. tomorrow, she's set to play the lands end main stage at 4 p.m. at outside lands. speaking of one of outside lands biggest top deejays is pulling out of the festival. actor and dj idris elba announced on his instagram story this week that he would not be performing at the festival after all, he was scheduled to dj at the soma

6:41 am
level before breaking basketball records at the university of oregon and eventually becoming the number one overall pick of the new york liberty in the 2020 wnba draft. she is just a competitor, and i think that's really the thing that sets her apart, or at least set her apart from her peers in high school and club was her ability to compete day in and day out. but sunday could be one of her biggest accomplishments to date. as the usa women's basketball team tries to capture gold against team france, coach sopak still remembers when ionescu facetimed him, saying she would be a member of team usa. i, you know, picked it up and i'm not even very good at technology. and she had her usa jersey on, so she was, she was beyond ecstatic. bay area fans will also be tuning in to the men's basketball gold medal game against france on saturday to see warriors star steph curry, who is coming off of a dominant performance in the semifinal round against serbia. we all signed up for this, you know, to accomplish a mission and we're one game away from doing it. as
6:42 am
