12:12 pm
and moderate. and that's what i'm seeing right now on the gauges so far. so so far, so good highs today expected to be cooler. not surprising, right? we start off with a fog, a foggy start. so 84 in antioch, my highest number on the map. you can see got some nice 70's, san jose at 76. 74 expected in sandra fell about 58 in san francisco and then head up to the north bay and some low 80's so not a bad run. i'll be back in a little bit. we'll talk more about the conditions of some of the fires that we've been keeping an eye on. all right. cuyler, thank you. coming up, we continue our coverage of the legacy of the say, hey, kid. >> a special tribute to billy mays of the head. also, we'll break dohn what's next in the recall effort against oakland mayor sheng thao. plus. well neighbors. look. the school field. it is in our backyard. and why plans to build a new athletic facility for students in the east bay is upsetting in the east bay is upsetting some neighbors. new mr. clean ultra foamy magic eraser?

12:18 pm
southern california. and then we have these 3 to be keeping an eye on. obviously the point fire the closest to us. but the sites fire, which has over 15,000 acres. i think as we get later into the week, the smoke from that could very well affect us. they're only 5% containment. where is the point? fires at 50 in the era fire now at 33%. so let's start with the point. fire, which is obviously up to the north of just to the north and the east of he and the west rather of healdsburg. and you can see where temperatures are not too bad today. a little bit cooler than yesterday. obviously it has to do with that marine layer that came in. we've also got the wind now from the west and also from the south. so we're not getting that northerly flow, which would be pushing it towards us. and we're also seeing these numbers now just between about 5 and 9 miles per hour. i've also seen some improvement in healdsburg and relative humidity, although you can see teens and ten's down in other spots that are nearby. so that's the marine layer factor trying to help that out. and it certainly has made a difference in the east de yesterday were in the teens. and you can see we're in the 20's, even 30% relative humidity. that really does
12:19 pm
help because it just kind of gives that recovery overnight as far as air quality goes, we're actually looking pretty good. we've got a few yellow dots out there which would be moderate air quality. but for the most part, we are pretty good. and then if you look at the wind as we go up to where that point fire is, you can see in and around lake sonoma. you know, we're going to start to see that onshore push again as we get into the afternoon and evening. but i think it's going to change a little bit on thursday. that's when we could start to see things push towards us again. so again, that onshore flow kind of pushes things away. but what happens is high pressure is going to build by the time we get into thursday friday. and then you can see some of this starting to roll down again. and it could be that it's from that a fire that is to the north of us as every to do with high pressure that's going to build in and you start to get that northwesterly flow yet again. so that is just something to keep an eye on. and we're also going to warming up and that has everything to do that high pressure strengthening, too. so that warmth really kicks in thursday, friday, saturday, sunday peaking on saturday. you can see was the mid 90's, even potentially upper 90's inland. all right. cuyler thank you for that suspect.
12:20 pm

tomorrow we're going to be seeing a little bit of fog in the morning and then a little bit of clearing in the afternoon. by the time we get to friday, then we're going to start to see that sunshine really start to pop up and the temperatures move up as high pressure is in control. so from high pressure to low-pressure, i want to take you now down to the gulf of mexico. we've got our first tropical storm of the season and that is tropical storm out storm alberto. and what's interesting here is you see the center of the circulation here is right off the coast of mexico. but the storm is such a with 2. it's really got an amazing reach. and it is setting all of this rain into the coast of texas where they are expecting to have some minor flooding incidents is there with this as it works its way through. so interestingly, you can see it's also starting to feed some of that to the north of it. just kind of giving the idea of what a big system it is. so tropical storm warnings are up there. and as we head across the next 24 hours, it's expected to go ashore into mexico where could cause some flooding and also, unfortunately, some landslides. but an interesting thing to keep an eye on. i'll be back in a little bit. we'll talk more about our local forecast. all right. cuyler, thank you. lawmakers in

12:42 pm
act. the proposal builds on existing federal law and wood for social media companies to remove deepfake revenge images within 48 hours. we're going to look for a way to move those bills forward. the move is a rare bipartisan effort in congress to address a problem. some lawmakers say tech companies already know exactly how to handle if you put seen from the lion king that will get pulled down almost immediately. senators say tech companies would be held to account by ftc action potentially including fines if the law passes and said those corporations will soon have to decide how to respond. this is the right solution. frankly, it's what they should be doing anyway. that legislation was introduced this week. but so far a full floor vote hasn't been scheduled reporting in washington. i'm trevor shirley. coming up on kron, 4 news at noon. we'll show you where you can celebrate where you can celebrate juneteenth today.

12:46 pm
about willie mays and truly one the greatest players ever to play the game and they want to see his plaque or they want to see is artifacts and there's really no way to put into words what he meant. but now i think people who welcome to cooperstown know it and that they feel. karen lee. >> hall of fame officials are in the process of moving may's plaque from cooperstown to alabama for the mlb game at wrigley field. >> war very poor. generations baseball. and we will always cherish the memory of great >> that was one last standing ovation for willie mays, a rickwood field in birmingham, alabama. the say hey, kid, got his start at what is now america's oldest ballpark with the birmingham black barons.

12:49 pm
we're having a cooler run today. we have a little bit of a foggy start. you can see la about 70 degrees. some nice 80's in the interior portion of california. even las vegas is just heidi one. that's not bad and locally here we're at 73 in san jose. 69 in redwood city, a little cooler out of half moon bay in pacifica in the 50's, 70 in dublin, little warm in pittsburgh at 78 just 50's for downtown san francisco. you can see some nice 60's and 70's up in the north bay. so today will be a little bit of a cloudy day for many, especially if you're out at the coast, those clouds will kind of hang on as we go throughout the day today. but we're starting to a little sunshine in his spots that are a little farther inland. you can see the difference in temperatures, though, what a difference the marine layer makes. right? we've got that low pressure kind of influencing our forecast were dropped 14 degrees in hayward. and this is all good news for those who are dealing with fire weather right up in the north bay. so tonight we're going to see this again afternoon. you can start to see some of those clouds rolling back in as we get into about that 10, 11 o'clock time frame. i think we coufd even see a little bit of coastal
12:50 pm
drizzle and then tomorrow, once again, we will wake up with that marine layer presents that helps to drive those humidity levels down. and it does keep us a little cool now, tomorrow also happens to be the first official day of summer, which means it's also going to be the longest day of the year. as far as daylight is concerned. so sunrise 5 47 sunset at 8.34. that gives you 14 hours. let's say it's 46 minutes. and yes, 55 seconds. we don't want to miss any of that tomorrow being that longest day of the year. so kind of interesting because obviously will be a couple degrees cooler tomorrow, warmer tomorrow, but still not that warm. still running relatively seasonal once we get to friday. that's what is really going start to feel more summer-like inland. you can see that little pop of heat coming our way friday, saturday and sunday. it looks like it does peak on saturday when some inland spots could get to the mid even potentially upper 90's. so just be prepared for that. as we head towards the weekend. all right. let popsicle graphic. kyla was lot of fun. >> well, happening today, communities across the bay area are celebrating
