continues to just lash the east coast here. as it continues to move up we have warm waters here so it's going to stay off the coast with winds of 65 miles an hour, but look at it through northern georgia, the carolinas, the mid-atlantic, all the way up to the northeast, with winds of 45 miles an hour as we get to tuesday, so this has got a long ways to go. it kind of wants to move closer inland as we get to say perhaps the south carolina/north carolina border. so if you're heading to the east coast, you will probably be impacted by this, and looking at the peak hurricane season not until september, so it's been pretty active out there. 60 in hayward. novato, 46 for you. it is 55 downtown so look how much cooler to the north and looking at a nice rebound today. look at our exploratorium camera, a nice looking day today with the fog starting out a little bit more widespread but that wide range with us again

it is a picture that's worth a thousand words. his mother calls 7-year-old theo her hero. this morning, the people who first brought his life on the streets to light, good morning everyone. we'll have that interview in a moment. first let's start with a quick look at your bay area forecast. here's meteorologist lisa argen. >> we'll keep it similar to yesterday, starting out with low clouds and fog everywhere except in our inland east bay. 60 in concord, 50 novato. 52 in santa rosa so the numbers overall are warmer for most, but look at that novato temperature t says warmer but it's still pretty cool out there. visibility just over a mile santa rosa, three miles half moon bay and 10:00 in the 60s and 70s. notice the oranges and reds coming into play by 2:00 in our inland valleys so it's going to get warm throughout the afternoon, temperatures will be a bit above average, maybe two or three degrees above average,

the fog hangs out by the san mateo coast, then it makes a push across the bay, still another nice day before we're talking about temperatures coming way down for the week ahead. details on that coming up. liz? >> lisa, thank you. as we work to build a better bay area, part of that is wo working to combat issues of homelessness and finding ways to achieve affordable housing. you likely saw this photo over the past week, part of a stunning story from "the "san francisco chronicle"" about 7-year-old theo, a young boy from berkeley homeless living in a tent. i spoke with the reporter and photographer about the story and what can be done to help. here with me is "san francisco chronicle" journalist gabrielle lurry and reporter sarah lavani. the heartbreaking story you want to give theo a giant hug after reading the story.

gabrielle, tell me how you find theo, who he is and his story. >> yeah, thank you for having me. i was working with sarah on a story about the rvs in berkeley and saw a kid on a scooter scoot behind me and i thought he can't be living here, can he? and i started asking a couple people who i was photographing does he live nearby? they said actually he lives in a tent and i was shocked and i said, i just said to myself that can't be. i went over and i talked to them and they were so friendly, they showed me the inside of their tent, they told me their story of how they ended up there and i asked them if i could spend time with them and they were very open to it and so from there on out, i spent, we have spent a year kind of chronicling what their life is like and their struggles. >> sarah, a think a lot of people who read this story are seeing this question how this could be when there are so many resources to help. why is it that theo is still out

on the street and how many other children in our community are living like this? >> theo and his mom have been homeless since he was born and it's a series of issues that have come up for him, for them, his mom is a domestic violence survivor and his father has been in and out of jail so they've had ay relationship. him and his mom have been living in tents and in hotels throughout berkeley. homeless children are unique. they are rare but they do exist. you can drive through oakland and you see children living with their parents in rvs. gabrielle and i have done stories on homelessness before

but had never seen a child living in a tent and so that's really what struck us and berkeley's homeless data show that there are no families with children who are unsheltered but theo still exists, so it really kind of lends this unique look to his vulnerability as well. he's invisible even though people know he exists. >> interesting. absolutely, and gabrielle, your photos are stunning. walk us through some of these intimate moments thaw captured in theo's life. >> so i really wanted to get him just as a kid and not just as someone who is homeless, so i kind of went between him and his tent and his reality being homeless and what it's like as a child to be homeless, but also him playing, so him flying a kite with his mom or you know, on her back when he's tired or

playing in his hammock, because for him, he kind of creates these worlds for himself and he doesn't just kind of get down on being homeless. he actually doesn't talk about it very much and so like the picture of him in the hammock, he loves his hammock. he likes to sit there and read or listen to music and you know, there was a young girl who asked him, is that where you live over there and he was like yeah, that's where i live and she says, do you like it, and he's like no, but i love my hammock. so he creates a world for himself. he goes crayfishing in the creek nearby and roasts marshmallows and sort of like he uses his imagination to just be a kid, and so i was hoping to show that through the images. >> yes, that definitely came through and i think also what came through is he does seem very loved and so sarah, i ask how is theo doing right now especially with the new school

year about to start in distance learning being a huge concern. >> i think that's a huge question, distance learning, the idea of having just reliable internet is not something that they have, right, like maybe they can get internet from a nearby cafe but when they're living on the streets, there's no internet connection. when they were in hotels that was possible, but school also gave him such a structure, you know, he went every single day. he had his friends, he was engaged, and so i think that's a really, you know, it's just a really hard thing to kind of swallow right now, distance learning, what to do, what the next year is going to look like, which i think a lot of parents are probably facing as wel but it's just at a heightened level for him, being out on the street. >> absolutely. gabrielle, my final question is what has the reaction been since you published this on wednesday? i've seen it shared so many times and how can people help? >> yes, so i think people really

loved the piece. it's really resonated. i think no one wants to see a kid outside and he's so endearing and he truly is. he's a very special imaginative boy who we've really grown to love and so i think the best way people can help is either through the go fund me link or you know, if they have some connection to housing or an extra space i think that would probably be the best road for them because we want them to be sheltered. so that's our ultimate goal. >> absolutely and i hope you guys i think you might continue to follow his story over the next coming years and we hope to see follow-ups from both of you, thank you both so much for coming on and talking to us about this. i hope everyone checks out your story on "the chronicle" website and we'll post a link to it on abc7news.com. thanks, guys. >> thank you.

the a's and mariner also play the third game at 1:10 at t-mobile park and the san jose earthquakes run in the mls is back tournament came to an end. here is chris alvarez with that and more in this morning's sports. >> good morning. the san jose earthquakes were the first team to enter the mls bubble in late june. more than a month later they play their way into the quarterfinal of the mls back tournament taking on minnesota with a trip to the semis on the

line in orlando. minnesota united grabs two goals in 90 seconds, the strike gives minnesota united a 2-0 lead but the quakes get on the board right here, magnus ericsson is 8 for 8 in penalties, pretty good at that, quakes are appreciative. 56th minute, minnesota united gets that goal right back. the left foot strike puts them back up two. minnesota wins 4-1. we're expecting word to come soon on the regular season ramping up in about a month. a great run but the guys are excited to return home to their families after an extended stay in orlando. >> it's true we don't know what will happen but we will travel home soon, spend time with our families, spend time with our kids which will be amazing during this time, hopefully we will get a decision what will happen. we've been together now over 40 days and it has been great but i think i would prefer to see my

concord to livermore. how about the same today? should be a nice afternoon. hre is a look at concord with a high today of 94, monday we're 93, low 80s on tuesday so of course the cooling trend gets under way tuesday. coolest day is wednesday with that low cloud deck sending the fog well inland, mist and drizzle and a bit of a recovery as we get into the end of the week. so another look here emeryville cloudy, the sun coming up another 20, 25 minutes and we'll have the clouds with us for the next few hours, clearing by about perhaps 10:00, 11:00 and looking at fog up towards santa rosa, also down along the peninsula, across the bay into hayward, in fremont, in oakland, also in san jose but we're clear in our inland valleys, where we take you right now, walnut creek beautiful view here, we've had a little haze in the atmosphere. the fires in southern california sending up some very fine particle upper level smoke and that is allowing for maybe a little bit of filtered sun from

bringing that oppressive heat in southern california, but because we have that trough to the north of us, it's allowing for us to be in between the two systems and getting some nice weather out of it. 83 santa clara, san jose. 81 in sunnyvale. 79 redwood city. in the city mid-60s and the clouds clinging to the coast there, 88 sonoma, 91 santa rosa, so mid-70s to upper 70s here, pretty nice afternoon, the breeze kicking up towards 3:00, 4:00. 93 concord. 88 in pleasanton so similar to yesterday. the accuweather seven day forecast tomorrow a few degrees cooler. mist and drizzle early on wednesday, coolest day of the week and as we get a little bit warmer we'll bring back that fog just confined to the coast, and then warm inland about 90. once again our pattern is looking pretty good out there. liz? >> lisa, thank you. as we've seen for months the covid-19 pandemic has been devastating for restaurants,
