1:38 am
now at 11:00, scorching triple digit heat in parts of the bay area. and people have some very different opinions about protecting themselves. >> i never use sunscreen. >> i still have to protect against the sun. >> when we could start seeing some relief. let's go oakland. >> i think they've already done more in terms of building up oakland than the a's did in -- >> you could feel the excitement in the air, oakland's newest pro team makes their debut. and the kid that stole the show on the house floor is back and more charming than ever. >> do you ever get tired of
1:39 am
being on tv? >> no. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> and good evening to you, i'm juliette goodrich in for sara tonight. boy, it really felt like summer today. you were spot on, you told us, temperatures absolutely scorching. some bay area cities hit the triple digits, and so this really isn't a heat wave that's over just yet, right, paul? >> another day of inland heat tomorrow, but it's not going to last long. if you're tired of it, there's relief right around the corner. >> we'll take that. we need that. san jose is opening up a couple cooling center, speaking of cooling off. and that'll happen tomorrow. so during a heat wave like this, it is important to protect yourself, but today in livermore, we did meet some people who had very different opinions on beating the heat. >> when you saw that we were going to have the first heat wave of the year, you were like i'd either go outside -- >> thank you, jesus. >> i never wear sunglasses, and i never use sunscreen. i got
1:40 am
burned once, southern florida in the keys, man, that hurt. >> i still have to protect against the sun. the heat allows you to appreciate the cool. >> so thoughts on spf 50. >> yeah. >> sunscreen it up, okay? >> definitely do that. yeah. >> i know, i know. >> that's the safer way to go. >> who's the actor that has the tan? always has that tan -- we know -- i can't remember anyway. but that's who he reminded me of. so we're going have more of this heat. and then you say we're going to cool off. >> very similar conditions tomorrow. and then we start backing down already on thursday. it's kind of a two-day heat wave for most of the bay area. but it was definitely hot today. let's take a look at some -- >> george ham el. >> george hamilton, that's who you're thinking of? mark ham el, george hamilton, one of those is tan. here's a look at the highs. almost 90 in san jose. fell a little short of expectations around san jose. thought you'd be into the low 90s. i think you'll be there tomorrow. and santa rosa got up
1:41 am
to an even 100 degrees, 21 degrees above average and 2 degrees above the old record high temperature for food. 98 was the record, now it's 100. and the heat advisory continues technically through thursday, but tomorrow is the last of the hot weather for inland parts of the bay area. heat advisory means folks more sensitive to the heat whether for health related reasons or lack of access to air conditioning may have issues during the hottest part of the day. an excessive heat warning for solano county. that means people who aren't sensitive to the heat may find themselves having difficulty during the hottest part of the day. temperatures are warm to very warm in oakland. ten degrees or so above average. farther inland 15 plus degrees above normal. low 90s in san jose and close to 100 degrees once again in concord. we are not alone in this. this is a regionwide event. temperatures around 105 in sacramento and fresno. 120 for death valley tomorrow. close to 110 degrees for las vegas and in phoenix.
1:42 am
yes, those are ordinarily hot cities but not this hot this early in the season. it's going to break relatively soon for the bay area. we'll take a look at the full seven-day forecast and all of up thes and downs therein coming up in just a few minutes. call it a rebirth, call it a revival, these are the ballers. a new pro baseball team built by oakland. >> all right, baller, let's ego. >> built for oakland. >> tonight is a new beginning for oakland sports fans. over the past decade, the city has lost its professional sports teams from the warriors to the raiders and then the a's. but this evening was different, and i saw it firsthand when i joined the fans at raimondi park for the oakland ballers home opener. it was so much fun. check this out. you could really feel the excitement in the air, and it is only fitting that bay area rap legend mister
1:43 am
fab was there to throw out the first pitch. you know, the stands were packed with 4,200 tickets sold, sold-out. at the same time, the a's played just eight miles away in a series against the seattle mariners to a crowd of 5,600 fans. well, our kelsi thorud was at tonight's ballers game where longtime oakland residents told her this was something really special. >> reporter: well, it was a sold-out home opener for the oakland ballers, and the fans were all in. we spoke with so many people who were excited to have this team ein their town, including one man who's been a lifelong a's fan and is now transitioning that fandom to the b's. leonard rossi was just 13 years old when he went to his first oakland a's game. >> i went to the very first game in 1968 with my mom and dad. sat in the third level of the coliseum and had a wonderful time. >> reporter: since then, leonard has gone to hundreds of
1:44 am
a's games, so when the team announced they were officially leaving, it was a big blow. >> it really hurts to see them leave. >> reporter: but thankfully for leonard, another team swooped into town just in time. the oakland b's. >> let's go ballers. >> yay. >> as the name was hilarious. i mean, the a team to the b team, right? the ballers, very exciting. >> let's go, b's. >> reporter: leonard says the b's may be a smaller team than the a's -- >> let's go oakland. >> reporter: -- but for oakland baseball fans like himself, they've become way more important. >> i think they've already done more in terms of building up oakland than the a's did in whatever, how many years they were here. so looking for a good time. >> reporter: the b's kicked off their season in front of a sold-out crowd. the energy inside the stadium was palpable. leonard told us this may be his first b's game but
1:45 am
like his first a's game all those years ago, it's definitely not going to be his last. >> those of us here in the east bay, especially if you're an oakland native, come on down. we've got a good product here, and you'll have a good time. >> reporter: and really every fan that we spoke with had that exact same passion as leonard. fans here are so excited to have this team in town. they are showing up, showing their support for the team that is choosing their city to start in. >> she's not kidding. matt and i were out there for the game --. >> yeah. >> -- and boy do you feel that hometown pride. >> it was really cool. >> yeah. >> once that game got started, it just felt like everybody was there for one mission. >> yes. >> and it was to support professional sports in oakland, which they did -- truly, it was an exciting night as the ballers made history. the inaugural home debut at raimondi park. i was so impresseded a the community coming out, being so engaged in this team. let's break down how the team actually played on
1:46 am
the field. instead of a ceremonial first pitch, the ballers got the game started with a first hit instead. and it was only a foreshadow of what was to come in the first inning when d'andre hubbard hit the first ever home run at raimondi park in ballers history. he also hit the franchise's first home run on the road earlier this month. the bats of the yolo high rollers proved too hot. angel mendoza barrels one over the left field wall. high rollers win 9-2, but the good news, jules, is there's another chance tomorrow nite to pick up that first ever home win. but ultimately, what an exciting night in oakland. >> they were coming home from, what a a 15-day ride out of town. >> they were on the road for a long time. let them breathe, get used to raimondi. i'm sure it'll pick up from there. >> the fans were there for them and will be continuing on. there was a lot of fun characters at the game, so i got to talk with hall the hot dog guy who was a vendor at the coliseum. take a look. tell me
1:47 am
how the heck do you think this all came about, and how do you feel about it? >> it came about because oakland deserves it, you know? oakland is a great sports community. it has amazing fans. i've vended all across the country. my favorite fans are here. and you know, they deserve a team. and they deserve a place to chant let's go oakland. so of course this was going to come around. >> so you got your ph.d. from berkeley, yeah, the hot dog guy comes with credentials big time. you moved back east but you're here for this opening week, right? >> that's right. i wouldn't miss this for the world. oh god. >> oh my god. >> sorry. we got the fake ketchup, we got everything. >> he got me. all right, if you can't make it out to raimondi park this week, you can certainly watch friday's home game against the yolo high rollers on pix+, 44 cable 12. that starts at 6:30 p.m. we'll be bringing you all the friday night home games through the
1:48 am
end of august. all right, this building, it might just be the poster child for blight in downtown san jose. the former church was once a stately building but it has been run down for decades. the only improvement we've seen in the past few months is when crews actually removed tattered tarps from the outside, and the problem isn't isolated to just this. as our len ramirez shows us, city leaders are thinking of ways to put pressure on property owners to clean up blight. . >> reporter: the boarded up first church of christ scientist is one. the burned out lawrence hotel building is another. and there's a row of empty and graffiti-painted storefronts on el pass owe to san antonio. it's a difficult business environment here, but this flower shop is still somehow surviving. >> when the students are not here, it's absolutely deserted. >> reporter: leyla naderjah has owned rosies and posies on the same spot for 25 years. >> i'm hoping that most of
1:49 am
these paseo businesses will open up and we will have some neighborhoods in here. so we'll feel safer to have, you know, place that people actually want to come to downtown and enjoy. >> reporter: and that's the idea behind the new push by downtown councilmember omar torres. >> i'm walking by an eyesore, unfortunately. this building has been blighted and abandoned for three years. and so if we truly want folks to invest in the city of san jose, they shouldn't be seeing this. >> reporter: torres is leading an effort to bring an anti-blight measure before the city that would hold property owners accountable for keeping buildings and unmaintained or even unsafe condition. >> we have the fines, but they're not enough. and so that's why, again, we're calling for the study session, because if we need to, one, increase the fines and fine property owners, we need to do that. >> reporter: besides the blight, torres says his office has received complaints about the safety of the building.
1:50 am
it's been exposed since a fire in 2021 and the sidewalk has been fenced off in front of it, forcing pedestrians like buster to walk around it on the street. >> i mine, look at the roof up there. that's where it burnt down. it's still like that. that happened like, what, two or three years ago. >> three eyears. >> so i don't know, look at it,s the ugly. >> the business owners that own these properties, to actually take a pride in their properties and take care of it so it makes the downtown more desirable. >> reporter: leyla says if property owners did that, it would be better business for everyone. former president donald trump may be a convicted felon, but that isn't stopping some local billionaires from rallying behind him. what we know about his visit to the bay area. and we're already seeing a trifecta of conditions that make firefighters nervous. oh boy, and then this little guy right there, he
1:51 am
became such a hit for his antics on the house floor, now this 6-year-old sensation is
1:52 am
1:53 am
former president donald trump is returning to the bay area this week on the heels of his 34 felony convictions. trump is trying to raise campaign funds at around event hosted by local tech billionaires this. thursday bay area investor david sax is cohosting a fundraiser where vip tickets are going for $50,000 a pop. the people hoping to join the host committee eneed to pony up $300,000. the trump campaign says it's raised tens of millions of dollars since the former president was convicted in the hush money trial. and then trump will apparently be greeted by this. it is a
1:54 am
33-foot tall inflatable chicken with a gold hairdo. demonstrators are planning to sail it across the san francisco bay. they've done it before, a couple of times, but until now it's been collecting dust in a warehouse. and then vice president kamala harris is expected to visit the bay area tomorrow. manny's cafe in san francisco announced she will attend their fundraiser for biden victory fund and that it's being held at a larger venue. well, the wind was gusting at the reservoir in san jose today. the combination of wind, high temps, dry brush, and bringing up some concerns about our wildfire risk. so over the past few days we've seen multiple wildfires pop up in and around the bay area, including we're talking about the corral fire. this in san joaquin county. it actually exploded over 14,000 acres. right now fire crews are still battling a 95-acre blaze that broke out just yesterday near patterson pass road in alameda
1:55 am
county. both of the fires are almost fully contained. so wilson walker asked the experts what we should expect this fire season. >> reporter: what is the cure time of the grasses? when will they be susceptible to ignition? so that's something that all the agencies and even the utilities and the research community are watching right now. >> reporter: watching the bay area hills turn from a faded green to a light brown, craig clements, director of the wildfire research center at san jose state, he says the past few days have been a reminder that even a good winter has legs when it comes to keeping fire risk down. >> the corral fire was a big fire, but it was a grass fire. and grass fires are very common this time of year. it's the first type of fires that we really get. >> and we call it a light flashy fuel that. grass just burns so readily. >> reporter: grasses are usually cured by early june, so
1:56 am
fires are now likely. so the next question becomes the larger fuel that is often ignited by a grass fire. >> so these are live fuel. we call live fuel, living plants. those living plants have a lot of soil moisture right now because of the wet winter, so they're doing okay in terms of their fuel moisture content, the amount of water inside the plant. but as we approach fall, those plants become critically dry and even if it's a wet winter or dry winter, those plants are still going to respond similarly in the late summer, early fall. >> reporter: so the two healthy winters do continue to pay dividends because of the moisture. the current outlook for large fires is considered below normal this year. however -- >> that could change if we have extended heat waves, severe heat waves, and that causes further drying, faster drying of the fuels. >> reporter: so the payoff from the rain is variable depending on what the fall and summer deliver. the hope is that
1:57 am
another year of good moisture translates to another year of fewer larger fires. >> so hopefully it stays like that. hopefully we can remain, you know, not in a lot of big fires. >> we'll try to keep a limit on how long the heat waves last, not that we have any control of, that but the current heat wave is not going to be a prolonged one. and that's good news. now, it is going to be another hot day tomorrow. the heat advisory continues inland through thursday, but it doesn't need to be in efect on thursday, because our temperatures will still be hot, potentially dangerously hot if you're not careful in exercising common sense precautions tomorrow. the hottest spots around 100. 80 by the bay and 60s at the coast. temperatures backing down already on thursday, returning to near normal near the water. just warm inland, and then all of us are within a few degrees of average by friday, saturday, and sunday. switching perspective, and we'll look out at the santa clara valley where the temperature has dropped off over the past few hours. close to 90 degrees in
1:58 am
san jose earlier today. now about 70. mid-60s in oakland and san francisco. still holding on to 81 degrees at 11:00 at night in concord. now, temperatures are going to continue to drop with clear skies overhead. the problem is we just don't have very long nighttime hours as we approach the summer solstice in a couple of weeks so. there's a limited timeframe for the heat to radiate off into space, but it will. temperatures dropping down to the mid-60s, which is warmer than normal but could be a lot worse. it only becomes a dangerous situation when we remain very warm or hot overnight. that's usually when we ve some gusty offshore winds. and that is not the case this time around. let's check out tomorrow's forecast high temperatures. i think you're going to make it to the low 309s in san jose tomorrow. upper 309s around morgan hill. around 100 degrees for livermore tomorrow, and near that level even above it in antioch. close to 100 in concord. those will be the hot spots. only into the mid-60s alock the coast in half moon bay. 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and
1:59 am
low 100s all coexisting. temperatures in the north bay area hot but not as hot as today. napa was 101 degrees today. low 90s tomorrow. in terms of records being set, that is not very likely as we head through the day. but we're going to keep an eye on the latest hour by hour trends. i think even the hottest spots are going to fall short of record territory. santa rosa did set a record today. i don't think that's likely tomorrow. temperatures won't be quite as hot and the record is a little bit farther out of reach. in terms of the fire threat, something we have to monitor, but today earlier the lowest humidity levels we were tracking this afternoon were around 15%. and that's not critically low. that level is when we get beelow e-10% and we don't have the gusty yuf shore winds to go along with the hottest temperatures, and the humidity levels are recovering. tonight we should see those numbers even inland climbing up and adding moisture to the fire fuels. once the humidity levels start to drop, they're not
2:00 am
going to become critically low. lowest level around 15% or so. one more hot day inland with temperatures on the high end of the spectrum around 100 degrees. but dropping ten degrees wednesday to thursday and near after rage through the end of the workweek into the weekend. a baby warm-up by early next week with inland temperatures returning to around 90 degrees. now around the bay that warm-up is going to send temperatures back into the low to mid-70s by monday and tuesday of next week. back to normal temperatures by -- on thursday of this week. so one more warm day around the bay and another day of mild conditions along the coast, which you are going to notice along the coast not only temperatures dropping to 60 for the weekend but a return of that back and forth fog pattern. it's not going to be completely overcast but a return to at least some of the june gloom in store but already by late tomorrow night into early thursday, jules? >> paul, thank you. still ahead, we've heard of people breaking out of jail, but what about breaking into
2:01 am
jail? all right, and coming up in sports, the ballers weren't the only local baseball team in action. we'll show you if the giants were able to put an end to their losing streak. plus, the 49ers secured their future at
2:02 am
2:03 am
nuts. break out, yeah, but break in? it's crazy. >> so yeah, that about describes what happened at one florida jail last night when deputies say a man just plowed his car right into the lobby, there you go, smashing through front doors. when the driver got out of the car, he was half naked. >> he was disrobed other than
2:04 am
wearing a lady's top. he at that point threw two rubber snakes and multiple cellphones into the lobby, into the actual structure here, and then started pouring motor oil all over his vehicle and then the floor. he kept saying things like the devil told me to kill everyone, and he kept sharing his disdain for president donald trump. >> well, the 40-year-old suspect arrested and hospitalized, deputies say their main priority now is trying to make that jail just a little more secure. so wait, did we just say that those were rubber snakes? >> i have to stop you. >> yeah. >> martin county, i did not know -- that is my hometown. >> that explains a lot. >> martin county, florida, is literally my hometown. when i saw it pop up, i went, should i bring it up? >> did you recognize him? >> i didn't recognize him or the sheriff, but that does make sense. >> all right a little background from matt lively now. from that, let's talk about -- are we really starting
2:05 am
to talk niners. >> we're talking niners already. they're back. >> good. >> sort of. they hit the field tuesday. mandatory mini camp. wide receiver brandon aiyuk was not there as he seeks his new deal. the niners could fine aiyuk over $100,000 if he doesn't report this week, but the team hasn't announced if they will actually fine him. if they do, bad for him as he looks for more money. but another play maker did get a new contract. san francisco agreed to a two-year extension with christian mccaffrey that will reportedly average $19 million a year. cmc is under contract through the 2027 season when he will be 31, which is considered old by running back standards, but mccaffrey and his head coach are not concerned about a potential drop-off. >> never really listened to all that stuff. you know, i think i've seen a lot of backs have a lot of success into their 30s. so i've never really listened to any of that. i feel good, that's all i know. >> christian is one of the most talented people i've ever met in my life. and christian is
2:06 am
always going to be a good football player until he decides not to be. the ballers were not the only bay area baseball team in action tonight. giants hit the road in arizona and after managing to get back to 500 last week, san francisco entered the night on a five-game losing streak. despite the recent trouble, hey, look at this, the giants keeping it light in the pregame. and it did feel like they were in good hands with kyle harrison on the mound. and while harrison pitched six strong innings, he ran into trouble here in the third. hard-hit ball down the left field line from kevin newman. and it's going to be enough to drive in two runs. second look, it went just off the top of matt chapman's glove. diamondbacks scored three in the inning. in the seventh looking to keep this one within reach. gurriel jr. had other ideas, hits one off the wall in left field. that's going to drive in two more runs. arizona goes on to win 8-5. giants have now lost six in a row they. look to avoid getting swept tomorrow. a's also in action. skip
2:07 am
ahead to the ninth inning, oakland down two in a wild pitch with runners at the corners made this one interesting. max schuemann safe at home to make it a one-run game. one more at-bat with brent rook we are two runners on. with two outs he grounds out to end the game. mariners escape, 4-3. in golf, world number one scottie scheffler looking to focus on golf after his charges of felony assault on a police officer were dropped. and despite support he's looking to put it behind him. however, in his first media availability, was scottie throwing a subtle jab at louisville with the pronunciation? >> at the end of the day, i did not want to have to pursue legal action against louisville, because at the end of the day, the people of louisville are going to have to pay for the mistakes of their police department. that just doesn't seem right. >> louisville, louisville, who am i to say? we just showed a
