concern for the younger generation. >> i definitely am concerned about our planet. it has been a great source of anxiety for me. >> reporter: how local students are taking the lead to off set the damage from climate change. this is cbs news bay area with juliette goodrich >> thank you for joining us. we are monitoring this historic verdict. former president trump guilty. making him the first former president to become a felon. the verdict came down after 2:00 p.m. today after 9 1/2 hours of jury deliberation. a new york jury found him guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a $130,000 payment to adult film star stormy daniels. allegedly to buy her silence before the 2016 elections. trump walked out of the courthouse shortly after the verdict was reached and he maintains he did not do
7:01 pm
anything wrong. >> this was a rigged, disgraceful trial. the real verdict is going to be november 5th by the people. they know what happened here and efertiond knows what happened here. >> this is a rigged decision, right from day one. with a conflicted judge who never should have been allowed to judge this case ever. we will fight for our constitution. there is long from over. >> manhattan's da says his prosecutor's follows the facts and law without fear or favor. the former president will be sentenced july 11th that is one day before the national convention in milwaukee where he is set to be formally named as the gop's presidential nominee as he tries to take back the white house. he can face a fine, probation or up to four years in prison for each count. >> hi, , amanda.
7:02 pm
>> reporter: everyone i spoke to here is as they heard the news of the trump verdict, most people do not think he will serve prison time they say they it caught their attention when they heard the 34 guilty verdicts >> not surprised. >> i went wow! i was not sure that they would do it. >> that was some of the people's initial reactions when they saw the news that former president donald trump was found guilty of 34 felonies by the jury in his hush money trial in new york. >> reporter: this result is not changing who this voter is voting for president but he thinks it could change other people's opinions. >> i think with him being a convicted felon there will be some impacts there. i don't know if it will change the outcome one way or the other but it will definitely sway some of the votes. >> reporter: he believes trump
7:03 pm
may even use this to his advantage and paint the felonies in a positive light to keep his supporters on his side. everyone i spoke to says they will be watching on july 11th. they say they want to see what happens in his sentencing. back to you. >> amanda, thank you. an interesting time right now. there are so many aspects to this case. legal, political, there is no shortage of opinions on what it all means as we have been hearing all afternoon. anne makovek with a collective thought from our local experts >> this is just one of several legal cases trump is facing as we are butting up to big dates in the season. our political expert thinks all of this could lead more people to skip voting this november. >> we know that there is san element of the gop voter that will not vote for a convicted felon? they will not vote for biden do they vote for a third party or sit out? that is an
7:04 pm
important element. 93 million people eligible to vote in 2016 did not cast a ballot. if you are trump you want more people staying home. you go negative early and often. this is the start of that big momentum to do that with the voting public. >> legally speaking it was the only case now pending against former president trump that is likely to end in a verdict before election day. as far as punishment, some believe probation and fines. >> i think the importance of the trial is that it happened at all. the judge did a very good job of keeping this case on a calm, sort of nondramatic level. tried it slowly and carefully. the jurors paid attention, according to all reports. it did not take them long to reach a unanimous verdict here. >> now, pbspr poll shows two out of three voters say a guilty verdict would have no
7:05 pm
effect on their vote this november. in fact, 25% of republicans said that they would be even more likely to vote for trump in he were found guilty. 27% of democrats said they would be less likely to vote for him. there will be a series of important events between now and november. including the first big debate on june 27th. >> he is keeping up with the message that it was rigged. for his fan base or voter base they are standing behind it right now. what i still find interesting is if you are a convicted felon you can not vote but you can still run for president? and you can be president behind bars. >> these are rules we never challenged in the history of the country. it is an interesting time. unchartered territory for sure. >> it all comes as the former president visit to the pay area. tech investor is hosting a presidential fundraiser at his pacific heights mansion. donors will need to pay $50,000

7:16 pm
it next week. think of today's warm up. however it felt for your part of the bay. it is like a dress rehearsal. not an overwhelming heatwave for us. it will be throughout the west. we are talking about the intense heat in mexico a few moments ago. the deeper shades of red. it is coming from south of the border, the desert southwest and extending far enough that we are feeling just the western limb of it. let's look at the temperatures on the ground. that is where we are going to be by the time we get to thursday. the purple on here it shows you the temperatures in the lower 100s. we are not in that in the bay. you need a closer look if you are going to see that. let's change our perspective again and color in the map. showing you the heat risk elevated. looking at next wednesday. coming in for a closer look. central valleys, got some concerns, so, you might hear headlines on your social media feeds or wherever

7:20 pm
day. a little cooler than you were today. go ahead and pick out your part of the bay on here. you can see the temperatures, now, we will get to what needs to be the headline of the the forecast that shows up in the seven-day forecast. so, let's say good-bye to our map. we will bring in the inland microclimate first. got a good-looking weekend here. 10 degrees cooler. 97 friday. and then you get to the middle 90s back here. so, have we done 90 so far? not middle 90s. does not last long. by thursday, cooling back down. the first noticeable spike to the middle 90s. not breaking records. we are only looking at low to moderate concerns. and if you are in the immediate bay you will be 80 on wednesday. but, nothing too overwhelming here. okay. back to you. >> thank you,
