in the month of may during the time when everything is blooming out there. and it was just a spectacular time lapse. but here's the deal. things have changed, and if you don't like the heat this is your lucky day tomorrow. live doppler 7 already tracking the changes. fog is reducining visibility do to three miles in half moon bay. temperatures right now across the region look like this. 54 degrees in half moon bay, all the way to about 78 in antioch. so we still are hanging on to some of the warmth in our inland valleys, but for most areas it should be great sleeping weather tonight, unlike last night. i know many homes do not have air-conditioning and it can be rough. i want to show you the temperature trend for livermore. average high, about 77 degrees. next couple of days you'll be cooler than average. but then you'll come right up again. it is going to be much warmer by the time the weekend arrives. you'll be back in the 90s. if you like the hot weather, it's coming back. a live picture right now from our east bay hills camera. you can see a little bit of the fog, the haze, from our east bay hills camera.

i support the affordable care act, and voted against all trump's attempts to repeal it. but we need to do more. i believe in universal health care. in a public health option to compete with private insurance companies. and expanding medicare to everyone over 55. and i believe medicare must be empowered to negotiate the price of drugs. california values senator dianne feinstein

to negotiate the price of drugs. marshall tuck will change that. in california, 3 million kids can't read at grade level. tuck turned around struggling schools, raising graduation rates over 60%. marshall tuck for state superintendent. marshall tuck.

good evening. the nba finals tip off thursday at oracle here on abc 7. but vegas believes you just witnessed the real finals with the warriors beating the rockets in seven. golden state has defeated cleveland in two of the last three finals, and now the dubs are the largest finals favorites in 16 years. but you know, it almost unraveled in a sea of turnovers in the first half last night in houston in game 7. like the dubs walked in to take the final but started all night for the wrong course. when they fell behind by 15 steph curry said the whole season could have been over. >> that moment could have splintered to be honest. it could have been a moment where guys went their separate ways and you can have guys doing a lot of finger pointing and blaming and getting in their feelings. but i think the way that we

fought all year, the chemistry we have, that got us through that little rough patch. well, will andre iguodala play in game one? who knows? bone bruise still causing him pain in his leg especially when he tries to jump. iguodala's the best defender against lebron james. if he can't go that is a problem for steve kerr. problem for ty lue and the cavs. the available of kevin love in concussion protocol after knocking heads with jayson tate nyum game 6 versus boston. love has had concussion issues before. he is iffy for game one. the giants are having a hard time finding five healthy bodies for their starting rotation. madison bumgarner xwpd back next week just as jeff samardzija exits tonight in colorado. buster posey had a cut. they glue it back together. that's a man's way to do it. samardzija pitched only one inning, gives up an rbi double to trevor story. 2-0 rockies in a flash. his shoulder tightens up, sew has to come out of the game and then snaps the bat in

frustration. bo jackson-esque right there. darren rodriguez the son of pudge rodriguez enters the game. first scoreless big league inning. rodriguez also gets his first career hit, an rbi with a double to right field. daddy taught him how to hit. he's a hall of famer. mac williamson in. but the giants were down 5-1. evan longoria hit two homers in this game. here's one of them. but the giants, they're not close. they lose 11-4. a's and rays at the coliseum. daniel gossett gave up three solo homers. all of them came in the third inning. wilson ramos doing the damage right here. so tampa bay up 3-0. jed lowry like a doubles machine this year. knocks in bruce maxwell. it is his 14th double. a's down 2-1. how about some defense from matt chapman right here? he's way in foul territory. and gets carlos gomez. the a's make a late rally but come up a run short. the final was 4-3. oh, they held the big

cheese-rolling contest in glous tershire, england. chris anderson is the king of cheese. look at this. this is humanity at its finest here. don't you think right here? this is it? great lesson on gravitition on how it works. right there. that guy, anderson, wins his 21st race all time. he's like the lebron of cheese rolling. you cannot touch him. abc 7 sports brought to you by river rock casino. i think they should put that video in a time capsule and aliens 1,000 years from now will say this is what humans did. this is what we accomplished. >> and this is why we took over. >> i like the way he was in front of the cheese there for a while just taunting it.

when the worst oil spill hit san francisco, first responders went to work. and mayor gavin newsom, he went to hawaii. man: newsome left the day after the spill for a four-day vacation in hawaii. the same gavin who said his job as lieutenant governor was so dull, he only showed up for work at the state capitol one day a week, tops. gavin's not gonna work as governor. i'm jeff bleich. preventing violence has long been my cause. in the face of senseless violence, we need hope. after columbine, i led president clinton's youth violence commission. i joined joe biden to reduce domestic violence,

helping boys become men. i beat the nra in court, defending gun laws that save lives. today, a new generation is rising, and this is our moment. in the streets and in the capitol, i'll stand with them. jeff bleich. democrat for lieutenant governor.
