5:37 pm
5:38 pm
5:39 pm
avocados may soon be in short supply in the u.s. due to a stoppage in inspections. this after two department of agriculture employees were attacked. this happened in the area, which is one of mexico's main avocado exporters and also has a history of cartel violence. the department says inspections will be suspended until safety issues have been resolved. well san francisco with a controversial new strategy to disrupt nighttime drug markets. they voted to ban some tenderloin retailers from selling prepackaged food or tobacco products overnight. those restrictions will be in effect between o'farrell and mcallister streets. jose martinez spoke to business owners who say they are being punished for something that's not their fault. >> reporter: it's been five years since abdul opened rainbow market and deli in the

5:42 pm
food from their table, you know? >> reporter: the legislation will become effective 30 days after mayor london breed signs it into law. in the meantime abdul has a message. >> this is not our fault. we're doing what we can for the community. we're trying to keep everything clean. this is an honest business. straight ahead in sports this juneteenth. everything seems small under the wide shadow of willie mays. how many high school games can mays play in birmingham? the answer,
5:43 pm

5:45 pm
okay, let's check in with darren peck. it is all about perspective. if we just shifted the camera towards the east bay, it would be sunny right now? >> it is right now. but tomorrow morning, we are all in for it. so june gloom is coming back, the dominating factor in how we experience the severe weather. we talk about smoke and air quality in the last visit. i want to take a large part of this visit to show you the impact that the return of the marine layer is about to have. not only in clearing the
5:46 pm
air out, but also in keeping the temperatures for the next two days fairly comfortable. we will use the virtual map and visualize that marine layer starting to build back in and starts coming through the overnight hours. then i'll get out of its way because it will start to creep back in and start filling in much of the immediate bay through tomorrow. so that is classic for june gloom. we had it this morning and then it melted back by 11:00 a.m., but not completely. still sitting at the golden gate right now. but this will show you the time period. right about when it reached the most maximum extent. that's how you transport both cooler air, but also cleaner air. this is air that does not really have that same kind of particulate matter that we have been dealing from all the smoke. we will put the morning lows in here. now some of these you could see, it's real easy to see. but san francisco when you hit your morning low, you're still in the fog. let's come down for a
5:47 pm
close up look at this. pick out redwood city. work your way up the coast, so you can see the morning lows here. the fog is in the way. let me get rid of that. then we will clear out the view. you are going down to 50. look at the north bay and the low 40s out there for morning low this morning. this will be a nice return to what we all expect to be far more typical weather for this time of the year. we will switch these numbers out and say good-bye to the lows. i want you to see the impact for tomorrow. now today technically, it's the coolest day in the whole seven-day forecast. tomorrow, we're going to warm up a little bit from where we are today. but tomorrow, it's a change. we'll be in the low to mid-80s tomorrow. we won't wake up with much of the marine layer as we just saw for the santa clara valley tomorrow, but you are still getting the onshore influence. so enjoy this for the next couple of days. very quickly what's becoming the headline in the forecast is the migration of that bubble of
5:48 pm
warmth from the desert southwest once again. watch the next three days. you can see how we are now going to be back in the grass with some of the hotter temperatures. when we look ahead, here's friday. the heat risk map. it will show you how we're starting to see some concern here for the inland valleys, by the time we get to friday. saturday is really the day where the heat risk will start to increase. you can see them on there. on saturday, santa clara valley, you are now falling in that moderate category to be aware of the heat related health impact and the trivalley. let's put it in the seven-day forecast as we have seen the daytime highs. now you'll see how much more dramatic things will get by the time we get to friday and saturday. we will use the inland micro climate first. and sure the mid-80s were just on our map, but there's your friday jump and the saturday peak. good news is it won't last that long. numbers will start to come back down again. we will get you back down into the mid-80s by the time we get into the early and middle part
5:49 pm
of next week. for the bay, it is june gloom over here where the clouds will fill in. you will still warm up into the low 70s. now you're upper 70s by saturday. then you will fall back down to more typical numbers for june as well as we would get into early and middle part of next week. ryan, back to you. >> thanks, darren. time for a check of what's ahead with sara donchey. >> hi, ryan, coming up at 6:00, celebrating juneteenth with a look at willie mays complicated racial dynamics to become an icon for the city. plus more protections for tens of thousands of san jose homeowners who don't own the property that their house is sitting on. and filling the late williams shoes would be a tough job for anymore. how the new pastor is continuing the legacy of unconditional love with his own twist. the news at 6:00 coming up in ten minutes. let's head to vern for a look at sports. fresh on our minds, willie howard mays jr. the fact his
