cooler in napa, 7 degrees cooler than yesterday at this time in concord. so we go through the morning and we're in the 50s, but by noontime upper 80s, mid-70s around the bay, still 50s at the coast. that sea breeze sets up for a cool day there, but 80s arrive around the bay with mid-90s inland. it's going to be hot inland, even a few degrees warmer tomorrow. we'll talk details for the weekend and cooling trend for the week ahead in a few minutes. what schools will look like for bay area students of all ages is starting to come into sharper focus. districts are detailing their plans for fall. but the push to bring kids back to classrooms is getting push back from many teachers. it is a key focus of our efforts to build a better bay area. abc 7 news reporter kate larson heard from two of the largest school districts in the bay area, oakland and san francisco, about what they're planning this fall. >> reporter: in a presentation for next week's board of

education meeting san francisco unified school district lead out a plan for the fall. while staff has not yet agreed the district is recommending almost all students distance learn. once data suggests it's safe a gradual return to a hybrid distance and in-person plan would begin. i spoke to an sfusd elementary teacher who says she's crushed she can't return to her classroom. >> i think coming from the viewpoint of seeing my son's preschoolteachers be comfortable going back. >> reporter: oaklandniscol dist plans to also start at a distance. phase one will be remote learning and then science will determine the next blended phase of in-person instruction. >> we'll be focusing to get them back to in-person instruction so that would be special ed, homeless kids, foster kids.

we are still trying to work out how this is going to work out for parents who need to work. >> logisticly this is nightmare. we're two working parents expected to be teachig and working on site at our place of work with two kids in two different places. >> reporter: meanwhile he's supposed to go back to his classroom to teach history at an independent east bay high school. >> it's almost a zero-sum game where i'm either giving the best to my students or i'm helping my kindergartner. >> i think it's a step in the right direction. >> reporter: amy burns says she's worried the district won't be able to keep staff and students safe. >> how are you we going to get supplies during the pandemic when so much mer is needed? we are going to have to provide the masks. >> reporter: they're still trying to distribute more devices to kids in need. >> and in fremont the school

the mask debate it would be easy to understand the confusion. take dr. anthony fauci. in a recent conference he said wear a mask, period. another doctor said yes to masks but with other condition. some students but not all should wear them. for example, it should be a requirement for middle and high school students but not for the younger kids. the cdc issues a more generic guideline that students and teachers wear masks whenever feasible. and the american academy of pediatrics representing thousands of doctors across the country issued advice to consider masks only if they are developmentally appropriate and can be instituted safely. and that's just to name a few of our most well-known experts. science magazine looked at practices around the world. china, south korea, japan and vietnam, schools there required masks for almost all students. while in canada, den mark, norway, the u.k. and sbeeden masks both optional for students

and staff. a staff writer says if there's some consensus at all it's this. >> the studies have found pretty consistently the kids are about half to a third as likely to catch the virus and that's especially true in younger kids. >> reporter: that low risk reflected at ymca. the non-profit cared for more than 10,000 children of essential workers at 170 sites in new york city at the height of the pandemic. they recorded no more than one case at any of their sites. cousin frankel said the experts she interviewed mostly agreed the safety guidelines must be nimble and tailored to the community. >> we wanted quote-unquote the answer what should a school do, but i don't think there's one answer. it depends on the community, what's happening there with the virus. it depends on a lot of different faors. >>sajo,kris rayes. >> the number of confirmed cases

at a san rafael facility has doubled. 49 patients have tested positive. a spokesperson told the san francisco chronicle five residents with covid-19 have died. just a week ago the facility told us 15 residents were positive. 17 staff members have also tested positive. in the east bay a big updatine alameda county. outdoor dining is once again banned. health officials announced because they are being monitored by the state they fall under stricter guidelines. that means restaurants, winery and bars can only be open for pickup or delivery. and happening today oakland city officials are asking people to give lake merit a today and tomorrow officials will close roads and restrict parking from 7:30 in the morning to 11:00 p.m. here's a look at some of those

$5,000 citations for businesses who ignore local and state health laws. the news comes after a surge in covid-19 cases put napa county on the states watch list. supervisors will discuss the plan on. starting monday more businesses can reopen in santa clara county. that includes businesses like gyms and hair salons. however those businesses can only reopen after completing forms they understand social distancing policies and other safety policies. starting monday commuters must follow new guidelines on vta and those rules include wearing mask or face coverings and riders must sit or stand 6 feet apart from one another, transit agencies must restrict how many people can ride aboard each bus or train and post signs with social distancing. in san francisco health officials are easing up on restricts after putting a pause on reopening. starting monday shoppers can once again use reusable bags.

the biggest news is the san francisco zoo will be reopening next week. now, we went through a lot of stuff. we know it can be hard to keep track what's open, what's not especially when places were sometimes were open and have to close again. we're helping you out by making this interactive map that shows county by county here in the bay area what's allowed to be open. you will find that on abc7news.com. lisa, i feel like as journalists we have good handle on what's going on and as i'm reading all this i'm thinking goodness, it's almost impossible to keep it all straight. >> i totally agree. so the heads up is great, but always a last minute good idea to check things out as you go and i wouldn't be surprised if certain things are closed when you get there. a live look outside. a beautiful start to your weekend. you can see how the sun is just about to come up there. another half-hour or so or 40 minutes we'll talk about a mild san francisco, hot inland is

maybe upper 60s some part of the marin county coastline, the beaches there. otherwise inland heat persists throughout the weekend. we're talking mid-90s even close to 100 degrees for your sunday. and that increases our fire danger, especially the higher elevations where that brush is dry and we're looking at a little bit of a breeze. but as we go into your monday we get more of a marine layer, numbers cool and then they're going to kind of stabilize as we get into the next several days. here's a look at some of the hottest areas around walnut creek and danville, the livermore valley, the san ramon valley. we'll start out in the upper 60s by about 8:00, 10:00 noontime already in the mid-80s. as we get to the afternoon mid and upper 90s will be common. usually we have the delta breeze. a little bit of that but less so on your sunday so that's why the temperatures will be even warmer for your sunday, today, though. warmer than your friday. in the south bay talking about

upper 80s for you in san jose, 83 in sunnyvale and the afternoon sea breeze helping you out in san mateo. and as you get closer to the coast 63 degrees with the sunset, upper 60s downtown, a lot like yesterday. up in the north bay these 90s coming into play in calestoga and santa rosa. looking at about 89 in petaluma. 87 near the water in vallejo. and as you head over to the east bay nice afternoon in oakland, 75, topping out at 80 in union city. 90 san ramon. here comes those mid-90s as you get closer to the delta. certainly a warm day out there, warmer than yesterday for some. and the accuweather forecast shows the summer scorcher continues inland for your sunday, and then by monday we'll wake up to more patchy fog so we'll have a cooler day, not a

lot of change for tuesday and wednesday, that typical summer range. but that cooler weather comes back thursday and friday. so it is going to be a nice weekend if you like it hot, but getting pretty hot, in fact, maybe a little too hot for some tomorrow inland. >> thanks, lisa. all right, over the past few weeks we've told you about how the oakland zoo could be closing permanenty it it's not able to reopen its doors. when a 6-year-old from the east bay heard that news she felt she had to do something and now she's raising a lot of main to help the oakland zoo. >> he told me that it was closed. babyosin s was a is th raise akndoo from closing permanently. >> i'm kind of doing donations, and i'm making bracelets for
