12:17 pm
mentioning because it is so rare for cal fire to evacuate anybody on june. first couple of days after that, the livermore fire that was only a couple of dozen acres. but you get the point. this is one to 3 as far as fires over the span of 5 or 6 days or so. as far as the saint. helene, a fire here. the crystal fire, the cause of the fire still under investigation today. not as hot as it was yesterday, but make no mistake about it. it is hot. it is smoldering to the point where there is an air advisory for the bay area. so if you're breathing, is compromise, it's probably because of this fire. >> next, crystal fire burned very close to a winery, still working to bounce back from the 2020 class fire aaron jordan, the owner of fatal mine says the flames spared his property this time, but it was tol close for comfort. >> ignition point of the glass fires frighteningly close to the ignition point of this fire. that they were within. i

12:19 pm
substation, high winds and dry grass led to the fire spreading. the cause is under investigation. all right. let's talk about our forecast now as we take a live look outside at walnut creek. what we are seeing some nice blue skies out there. and of course, some warmer weather likely. let's check in now with cuyler who is also breakdown of the conditions of firefighters are up. and that's right. because everything to do with how they're able to get some containment on the fire and want to start crystal fire. and just take a look at this because conditions today, obviously a little bit better than yesterday in the sense that our temperatures are not quite as warm. >> having said that, you can see in and around this, you know, pope valley, 92 degrees. 82 in saint helena. wind is not bad, though. it is out of the but as we kind of take a look at the future, wind gusts and we look at this in the afternoon, it is going to picking up as we get through the afternoon and the evening. so that will make things a little bit more difficult for them. what make things like little bit easier for them is these temperatures are coming off of these wild highs that we've had. so you can see how about 14 degrees cooler in a spot like napa and even in
12:20 pm
nevada than we were this time yesterday and check out san francisco that's really dropped at 16 degrees less than we were this time yesterday. so here's current temperatures, san jose 79 degrees. we're at 60 in downtown san francisco, 81 in concord. so there is some warfare in the inner east bay for sure. 83 and fairfield, as you can see as we head up towards napa and sonoma temperatures, you know, really mild right now. 82 in santa rosa. we're getting a little more sunshine. they're so we're starting to see the school data you may think of heading to the coast. but remember, we're still under the influence of this northwest swell that has come in and expecting 8 to 15 foot breaking waves today. and i think more importantly, that risk of sneaker waves, which you got to look out for, that is throughout today. i did just check. waves are about 11 feet high at this hour. so all of this heat has been courtesy of high pressure which was sitting off the coast. then it move right on top of us. and now you can see it's tracking over towards the 4 corners. as we zoom out, you see a little low pressure there that is set to roll into what that means is we are going to see these temperatures pull back even more as we head towards the
12:21 pm
weekend. this is when looking at right and let folks a few who could see some low 90's today roll into the 80's tomorrow and then low 80's for saturday and sunday. but you see on the other side of that are going look at our 7 day forecast. real quickly, the warm-up that's coming again as we head into next week now does not look as extreme as the warm-up we had this week, but it is just a brief pause before we see these temperatures start to go above average again as we head into monday. all right. cuyler, thank you so much. a new restaurant in san francisco finally opened its doors a week after suffering a $15,000 theft kron four's lezla gooden reports nearly a week ago as the pack sf was set to open its doors as one of the newest restaurant in hayes valley. that was until themes broken hours before the opening, stealing thousands of dollars worth of alcohol and cooking supplies. fact might have gotten a little higher said before. >> as far as what we have and what's this even you know, where we're getting a dorsal. and but we're about to 2025

12:33 pm
and so we see that things can get done in the city of oakland. it's wonderful to hear that positive news done to really just to learn about the huge community. >> response to this game. >> you know, at the end of the day, folks haven't yet gone to a same. i implore you to go the feeling there. you're going to be, you know, you're going to feel the community of oakland. what oakland is about. again, there's no stopping us if we all come together and we work together. this is about not just speaking about what we're going to do, but literally this is the action that we take. and this is a huge success for the whole city for west oakland community that has had high pollution rates, you know, for so many years and have been quite honestly forgot about by previous politicians and investors. and so we're happy for this. but we're also happy for what's happening in deep east. with the coliseum as well. >> all right, wonderful. so let's talk a bit about that. so tying that into your proposed budget for next year. your council does have until
12:34 pm
july 1st to pass a balanced budget. so walk us through how this coliseum sale comes into play with all of that. >> well, you know, for me it's about it's been a long time coming. the development. the coliseum is a huge win for east oakland, the city and the region. you know, for far too long is the same situation where we seen politicians come and go, investors come and go and yet nothing is done on a site that is so deeply needed. the resources in the development on that site. you know, i know there was talks about a coliseum city at one point, but never came to fruition is for me, i'm all about making sure that we can get things done for the city of oakland in its constituents. and this is what we're talking about. we're working scg actual local investor that is black on who are going to with the community to ensure that we have a minimal amount actual threshold regards affordable housing, making sure the east oaklanders can remain in that space. as we're developing. not just that but really
12:35 pm
invest for the community. this is exciting news. you know, again, for far too long east oakland has been forgotten about. and this administration here is here to say we've got your so how will the sale of the coliseum affects the of the of the budget proposal? >> you it's just lined up a kind of right in time. and so we're able to, you know, utilize some of those funds to help with large budget deficit, you know, still stemming from the pandemic. and so with that being said, we still have some structural deficit that we have to really plan on addressing as we move forward in. this is why we're starting that budget discussion. the biannual budget discussion usually starts in january, but we're starting that in september of this year. we know there's a lot of work that needs to be done. a lot of hard discussions, but i do believe by starting early and having these early on conversations about the reality of our budget and making sure that we can move that forward is going to be in trouble regards the city success. this is also why
12:36 pm
we, you know, are investing into entertainment industry in regards to getting the initiative for our film initiative to come up and about this will be a driving force to create new money's not just only for the city government, but new monies regards to direct funding to our local businesses. got it. and how do you plan to invest in say crime prevention with the new budget and also respond to concerns about potential job cuts related to it. absolutely. those that's a great question. you know, of course, that budget still needs to be passed. the city council level. i'm all constituents to call their councilmember email them to say support the mayor's budget because we fully fund department about prevention. we fully fund the ceasefire program that has shown to work to actually deter and actually attacked the crime issue that we had last year and the year before that. i mean, the crime is actually down by 33% across the whole city. and then by about 17% within the last 3 years. so with that being said, it is working to
12:37 pm
strategy is working. so we're not going lead off of the gas pedal right now. of course, there were talks about possible layoffs insulin. these tough decisions happened. you got to lead with your values. and that's exactly what we did. i know that many of our workers live in this city. and so it was a important aspect of mind to ensure that there are no layoffs of city staffers and that we continue this conversation for negotiations. but at the same time, you know, our fire departments there, there's no branding out our fire departments and are police academies will move forward so we can retain our officers. foot patrols will be out there. investors will be funded. and so it's a strong budget with, you know, and what we did was we really look at the different positions in the city and that's where we cut is like we froze a lot of positions that were not fielder. eddie, and that's how we were able to create that cost savings. thank you for breaking that down for us. mayor now. well, we have you here. we like to ask you about the proposal to change the name of oakland's airport. how do you feel about the argument

that that name change could actually be confusing for travelers? you know, at the end of the i know that this is issue for many people and it's it's causing some concern. however, you know, the city of we are actually autonomous and the port of oakland. they have their own governing board or what have you so i am very supportive in regards to making sure that oakland it remains a strong partner regards to our airport airport. i think that all it is is just making sure people know where oakland is where local oakland is located in that in the san francisco bay area. okay. there is, of course that trademark lawsuit pending from the city of san francisco. is that a point of concern at all for you? >> you know, that is going to be again, the port of oakland in the airport. they have a their own governing boards. and so that's the situation that they're dealing with. and it doesn't truly impede upon the city. >> also, we want to touch on another big headline, of course, which is the recall
12:39 pm
campaign against you. your opponents say that, you know, they have enough signatures to get this recall on the ballot in november. is this a point of concern for you? >> you know, at the end of the day, whether it's rebuilding raimondi park in west oakland, investing directly in getting that huge win, you know, or also, you know it to invest into east oakland for the coliseum area. you know, all of this is coming into fruition is so no matter what you know, naysayers say or, you folks who are trying to recall you know, i think at the end of the day we were able to reduce crime by 33% overall crime across the board, right? we're doing what we know. make sense. we're do. we're making progress. oakland is turning a corner in lists. reminded many of these issues had started way before my tenure. and so within that short one and a half year that we've been in office, we've done so much already in west oakland, in east oakland. and so i know that we're stronger together and i floor everybody that we should work together to ensure that we have a
12:40 pm
better and say for oakland for all. >> all right, mayor, thank you for that. as we wrap things up here, we wanted point out something that you've mentioned earlier, which is this push that you're making to encourage more movies to be made in oakland. so how close are we to seeing maybe the next blockbuster films in the town? >> you know, i'm crossing my fingers for as soon as in the fall. but of this is all-inclusive in the budget. and so we can see that, you know, something like you know, the starz series by spotting, which is set oakland if they found 100% oakland, we're talking about 80 million dollars into the revenue will be injected into the city of oakland. and so we're hoping early in the fall, but it all depends on weather. the city council approves the budget as it is. and you know, so i just say stay tune and we're hopeful that we can start doing the bring in the film industry starting in the fall, which again, this book are 8
12:41 pm
in larger revenue stream for the city of oakland so we can stop going after this property tax. you know, we have to give those who live here a break. and that's really the initiative is thinking outside the box to say, how can we curry in larger a revenue generation here in the city of oakland. this is what this project. all right. we will definitely be stay to do that. thank you so oakland mayor sheng thao for your time. >> thank you. >> all right. today marks 80 years since soldiers stormed the beaches of normandy, france eventually bringing into world war. 2 on june 6, 1944, allied forces came from land, sea and air to liberate nazi-occupied western europe. the operation was given the code name overlord and delivered 5 naval assault sta 5 beaches in normandy. world leaders and veterans gathered at one of the landing areas for a ceremony earlier this morning. and this is omaha beach where you can still find german bunkers to this day. washington correspondent

doubt there. kyla, right? it's bad. >> at half moon bay here confirming that the marine layer has been on the move today and obviously that is very helpful when you've been dealing with extreme heat. so temperatures have been falling and that's a good thing. i think for most of us. one more day of heat, though, if you are inland, we are looking out for those 80's and potentially a few low 90's out there. but it will be few and far between today compared to yesterday we had triple-digit heat that marine layer expanding, providing additional cooling as we get into the next couple of evenings and pretty seasonal through the weekend. but then next week we'll see that marine layer compress again. and we are once again to be warming up. so let's talk about where we are right now. 70 degrees in palo alto, 79 and san jose and fremont 58 out of but you can see there's a little more warmth as you head inland. 83 in fairfield, 72 in sonoma. pretty cool there in about 82 in santa rosa. so, you know, compared to 100 degrees yesterday are 102 like in concord yesterday. this is all right. we are getting that breeze will start to see that on shore flow actually started to see this direction. turn already an

indication of that marine layer rolling in. so that's a good thing. and yes, you see that the golden gate bridge, that's always my telltale sign as to what's going on with the marine layer on any given but it is not too pervasive today. so we still do have these heat warnings and advisories that are up that goes through midnight tonight. so once we get into this evening, we will be done with this little round of heat and indication that we're making progress. here is how much different the temperatures heart for 24 hours ago to now, nevada, 18 degrees cooler. so there you go. we're cooling it down. folks stormtracker 4 showing we still got some pretty nice skies. there is still that marine layer hanging out at the coast. but as we zoom out, you can see that high pressure now sitting over the 4 corners and set of right on top of us. so as that tracks the way we also cool down now, what happens next? well, as we get into the next couple of days, little low pressure, kind of putting some pressure on the high pressure to make a roll away. but then as we get into next week, here comes another one. another ridge of high pressure rolling in. so that means that this is a bit of a short-lived cooldown, but it will be pretty cool as we head
