get ready for a hot, hot holiday weekend. temperatures will skyrocket all around the bay area. it will be tough to cool off as well. many lakes and beaches will be closed because of covid concerns. good afternoon. thank you for joining us. >> taking a live look outside from our east bay hills tower camera, that is where some of the hottest temperatures could be. so right away, let's get to abc7 news meteorologist sandhya patel with a look at what is expected. things could get dangerous. >> absolutely. that's why we have a number of warnings. let's take a look at the excessive heat warning that starts tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. it runs until 9:00 p.m. monday. this covers all inland areas. temperatures in the upper 90s to 110 degrees plus. that means the risk of heat illnesses will be running very high. we have a heat advisory for the same time period. that covers the coast and parts of the bay. heat illnesses are possible as temperatures soar.

how hot are we talking about on day one of the heat wave? 110 antioch, 103, 98 in santa rosa, 95, san rafael, 77 in san francisco, 70 degrees in half moon bay. this is just the start of the dangerous heat wave. it is only going to get hotter as we head to the second half of the holiday weekend. i'll be back with the details coming up. >> now in morgan hill, this ace hardware store is already out of large fans but they do have generators. they've been struggling to keep the shelves stocked since the last heat wave just weeks ago. >> generators, misting, hosing, all of that. we're pretty solid on it. >> the store manager says pools have been hard to come by with people looking for any way to stay cool. >> a lot of beaches in the bay area are closed this holiday weekend. in marin county, visitors are not allowed at point reyes,

pacifica has closed all of its beaches. the fitzgerald marine reserve and tunitas creek beach is closed. lake berryessa because of the wildfires is closed. santa clara has closed its beaches except for a few hours each day. the beaches will be open in half moon bay. the city council considered closing but decided against it believing visitors would travel there anyway. this won't be permitted this time tomorrow in santa cruz. there aren't that many people out there right now anyway. it is a live picture from the main beach in front of the boardwalk. beaches county wide will be off limits. dawn until the late afternoon hours, people are allowed to walk across the sand to participate in water activities, but sunbathing and beach walks, not allowed. well, one popular spot to cool off will be available. at least in some areas after months of closure. the sun valley shopping center

reopened today. abc7 news reporter has more from concord. >> it may be labor day. but karina is already shopping for christmas. >> i'm extremely excited and the most thing i'm excited about, the prices, i was able to buy a lot more than i thought. >> she was one of the first to hit the stores. the first day on the shopping central's reopening. joseph is the manager here. like other shops, they're full of sales. he said the tough part is trying to help customers feel safe and comfortable in this new normal. >> getting readjusted to talking to them. social distancing, things like that. >> we're happy to see the foot traffic that we have today. it looks really good for us as far as the return of customers back to the shopping central. >> nathan is the general manager of the sun valley shopping central. he said the reopening plan had to first be approved by the

contra costa health department such as protocols for social distancing. retail has taken a huge hit in the shutdown. unlike other retailers, he says sun valley is poised for a strong comeback. they have a 90% occupancy rate with more stores coming and strong customer loyalty. the reopening means hundreds of employees are headed back to work. however, they're only allowed to operate at 25% of capacity which means only about 2,500 people will be allowed inside. he says, they're still poised for a strong rebound. >> i think we'll see the shopping center start to move forward as far as revenue goes, and increase. as things get better with the pandemic, we'll see a big turn-around. >> in concord, abc7 news. >> all right. so how do you beat the heat? abc7 news special correspondent dr. patel is joining us. in the old days, you go to the movies, to the mall, enjoy the

air conditioning. not an option at this point. what are you recommending? >> what i'm recommending is that people have to stay indoors. if you must go outside, you have to get some fresh air, try to do in it shade, away from the really high heat times in the middle of the afternoon, and make absolute sure you're staying hydrated and avoid alcohol. it will dehydrate you even further. >> i'm sorry you said that. >> in moderation, larry. >> what are the symptoms of heat stroke? people are going to go outside and then who knows how you start to feel. generally, isn't tight late once feel it? >> absolutely. you nailed it. it is pretty insid just. meaning kit come on pretty fast. so heat exhaustion which will come first. that's where you're having dry red skin. you can get nausea, dizziness, headache. if and when anyone starts to get a fever and or any neurological

symptoms, something like confusion or not knowing where you are. that's an emergency. that can be heat stroke. that can be life threatening. in either case, you want to get someone out of the heat, get a cool mist or a moist towel and seek medical care if you have any concerns. >> based on your answer, we know this is going to happen. we've got the heat. you have the smoky air in a lot of conditions, and covid is out there looming. so i am variably, some people will feel lousy and say, oh, no, do i have coronavirus? what is your advice to them? >> my advice is stay inside. we're in the middle of this trifecta in the bay area. so all three fit in thi diagram. if you think about heat exhaustion and stroke, you can have body aches, you can have a fever, naush, a vomiting, diarrhea, you can have those with covid-19. with covid-19, you're not necessarily going to get the dry clammy skin. or lose your ability to sweat. that will be more related to heat stroke. with wildfire exposure, you can

have the upper respiratory symptoms as well. so things like coughing or feeling you have bronchiis. here's one big differentiation. if you remove what is causing the problem, you get out of the bad air, away from the heat and you improve, it is likely not an infection or covid-19. if those symptoms persist, you might want to look into the fact that you might have an infection. i know it is really tricky right now. people's best bet is to stay indoors and stay safe. >> that's really good advice in terms of moving to another location. you probably don't have covid. despite -- >> absolutely. remove the offending agent and you get better. >> despite what all the officials are saying, and stay inside and all the warnings, history tells us, people are going to throw parties over this holiday weekend. and that scares public health officials for a variety of reasons. >> it totally does. we saw it with graduations,

memorial day, fourth of july, once we see a reassuring trend. people relax. te holiday weekend comes in place. quarantine fatigue sets in and we see outbreaks. we have to stay vigilant. if we want schools to reopen and the economy to come back, we have to sit tight. the wildfires and smoke are giving us even more reasons to stay indoors. just remember, if you were planning an outside backyard barbecue or some type of gathering, the heat is not an excuse to take it indoors. we're still in the middle of a pandemic. >> all right. thank you for your time as always. have a great and safe weekend. >> i'll see you on another 30 for 30 film. >> a reminder about the statewide flex alert issued for the holiday weekend. it is calling for voluntary electricity conservation between the hours of 3:00 is that 9:00 p.m. it is a reminder not the use major plinappliances during tha

time. be sure to turn off under necessary lights and set your air conditioner to 78 degrees if you can. we do have a live air quality tracker at our website. you can see at a glance what the conditions are like outside. you can find it on the abc7 news app. >> all right. not just beaches. the golden gate bridge west sidewalk will be closed on monday because of operational needs. so bicycle. is and pedestrian there's need to use the east sidewalk instead. weekend and holiday parking lot closures will also remind in effect on monday. so as we mentioned, a lot of beaches will be closed but not all of them. stephanie sierra is live at linda mar beach where the crowds have gathered. >> yes, it is packed here. if you're not walking on, you won't have much luck finding a parking space. the lot is entirely fulfill this is our view of linda mar. families here, this is pretty time from what we saw a couple

hours ago. there are dozens of surfers out taking to the tide. they'll be closed. that won't be the case in half moon bay. the beaches will remain open. they don't have the authority to close them as some are outside the city's jurisdiction. here in pacifica, that enforcement starts sunrise tomorrow through sunrise on tuesday. a lot of people have been asking questions about fines. it will look a lot like memorial day weekend. they'll have both entrances here blocked off. and they'll have police officers and rangers patrolling the beach and the coast side. the max penalty will be $1,000 with a citation but that will be determined on a case by case

basis. they are really hoping for voluntary compliance. live in pacifica. abc7 news. >> yeah. that number sends a strong message to say the least. many thanks. >> just ahead, covid damage. the warning about possible long term damage from the coronavirus. what it could be doing to the human heart. and apology needed? the salon scandal and what she says about salon that's are secretly open. and at the i felt gross. it was kind of a shock after i started cosentyx. four years clear. real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx.

continue to deal with threats to their lives and their lively hoods as san francisco's health order keeps indoor salons closed. here's abc7 news reporter chris reyes. >> we have a terrorist. we have a dictator who is running this country, and nancy pelosi is at the forefront, fighting against this person every day. you know? i'm not trying to excuse what that. i'm just saying that to allow an issue like this to turn our city upside down when we've got folks who are homeless, people who can't open their business including the salon. i understand. >> why not just apologize? not you. >> let me be clear. i can be responsible for my behavior. i can't tell other people what to do. >> clearly president trump feeling the exact opposite. at a campaign rally in pennsylvania thursday night, he said exactly what he thought the speaker should have done. >> you know what she should have done, honestly? she should have said, i made a mistake. sorry. and nobody would be talking

about it. she must have treated that beauty salon owner pretty badly. she uses the salon and the salon turned her in? >> in front of pelosi's hole, the blow dryers happeninging from the tree are gone. a different seasonable from thursday when salon owners gathered to voice their frustration. with the speaker's maskless salon visit caught on camera. >> that visit by the speaker felt especially like a slap in the face for these salon owners. that's what they've been saying. that's why they're protesting. >> let's have a conversation here. this is not the only salon that we know is probably doing this. and i'm not faulting they will for going against the order to not open. i'm sure that there are others that unfortunately, they have no choice. so look. they feel how they feel. i can't change how they feel. i feel upset that i can't do more for them. but at the end of the day, it is time for us to really move on.

>> in san francisco, abc7 news. >> a go fund me for the salon owner has raised more than $200,000, according to the fund-raiser, the money will help her relocate. >> the golden state warriors will translate three of their facilities into polling places. thrive city, the plaza area the at chase central will become a ballot drop-off location. the team's practice facility in downtown oakland will be both a polling place and an absentee ballot drop-off point. all part of the overall goal to increase civic participation. >> it is important for us to help with

a polling place and a drop-off location for absentee ballots. >> whatever your holiday weekend plans, are it will be a scorcher. >> it will be triple digits in some areas. >> it's very -- >> that's your plan? >> something like that. >> it is going to be a scorcher and a torture for people who don't have air conditioning. it is definitely going to be tough for so many people. let me show you our dangerous heat wave prompting warnings and advisories. it covers the entire bay area. the advisory is in orange. the excessive heat warning for all other areas, going right on through monday. it begins tomorrow morning. for lake, mend cino and solano counties, it goes until tuesday. you will want to take it easy. here's a look at live doppler 7. signs of changes underway. if you were up early, you

probably noticed dense fog. the air quality looks like. this most other areas in yellow. moderate air quality and basically, good to moderate as we look toward the santa cruz area. here's a live look. spare the air continues through tomorrow. sunday, moderate. for all areas. do expect some haze and smoke from the wildfires. here's a live look. this is a murky view because of the haze. 69 in the city, 74 in oakland, 90 degrees in gilroy. certainly warmer today. seeing some blue skies from our east bay hills. low 90s from santa rosa, concord, livermore, as we take a look at one other live picture from our golden gate bridge

kral. we do have a spare the air for tomorrow and gusty winds and high fire danger next week. so tomorrow morning, fog is right around the bay and coast. temperatures from the low 50s to the low 60s as we head into tomorrow afternoon. those temperatures soar in the south bay. 95 in san jose, 103 in gilroy, 70 in half moon bay. down san francisco, 77 degrees. a little fog there. just a touch in daly city, keeg you in the 60s. north bay temperatures, 95, san rafael. 100 in calistoga heading into the east bay. 92, 93 fremont, hazy skies and hot conditions inland. 104 in antioch andler more, 103 degrees in concord. temperatures well above average and records are definitely a possibility. not just tomorrow but sunday and monday as well. let's take a look at the fire danger. 10:00 p.m. monday until 8:00

p.m. wednesday. we have offshore winds developing. fire danger will be elevated. a fire weather watch will be going into effect for the north and east bay hills. lake county as well. the accuweather seven day forecast. the heat wave hits tomorrow. extreme heat sunday. we're talking 110 degrees for our hottest spots. labor day remains excessive. gusty winds and fire danger going into tuesday. >> yikes! >> we are going to see the heat ease mid-week. >> not soon enough. scorch you aer torture sounds a right. extra money in unemployment checks? almost here. and a deer caught off -- oh, no!

maybe normal isn't normal. but at denny's, we're still here day and night creating new ways to safely bring you the food you love. because we love to feed people. and that will always be normal to us. (vo) because we love i have the best job in the world. ♪ i get to remind people of their grandmother's conchitas. give the little kids cookies... and celebrate birthdays with all our neighbors. hopefully, we'll be part of this community for many, many more years. ♪

some good news for those seeking unemployment assistance. hi, michael. >> finally, some much needed money for those who need it the most. the extra $300 in unemployment money should begin showing up on edd debit cards next week. monday, actually. the employment development department has vowed first payments will begin on labor day. to get that money, you must already be earning at least $100 per week in jobless benefits. now, of course, this is only half the original $600 the

unemployment we're getting from the first round of stimulus money. this new round of extra money will last a minimum of three weeks. and we have more good news for consumers. gas prices nationwide are at their lowest since 2004 for labor day weekend. most of the rest of the country is paying an average of $2.23 a gallon. of course, here in the bay area, no way. we're paying more than $1.25 more. in san francisco we're paying $3.44 a gallon for regular. that's down 29 cents from last year. oakland, you're forking out $3.34. down almost 32 cents. and san jose, you're coming in at $3.33. down 27 cents a gallon from last year. a new survey from car buying car guru has found an interesting trend. many who had abandoned ownership of cars are returning to the car

showroom. 22% of those buying cars these days say they had not been planning to buy a car before the pandemic. but fewer of us are calling uber and lyft for rides. i've been hearing this from local dealerships saying people who told them they hadn't owned a car for three or four years were showing up. even though you don't have to get to work every single day, do have to get to some places and people feel much safer in their car that they've claimed. >> makes a lot of sense. thanks. to a deer in a rather sticky situation. this buck had been roaming around in fair oaks with a bunch of string stuck on its antlers. poor guy has that stuff on his head. a wildlife rescue group has been trying to track the buck and hopes to zero in on the location where authorities can try to execute a rescue and cut it off.

right now, it is a neighborhood deer in distress watchful so hopefully they can find him. >> at least the yarn or string is colorful. just ahead, a frightening new report. the new evidence of the damage covid-19 may be causing to the human heart. and heading back

the bay area has now topped 90,000 diagnosed cases of coronavirus. california had another 5,100 today pushing the state's total to more than 722,000 cases. there is some good news here. the positivity rate keeps on

dropping. the united states total number of case is nearly 6.2 million cases with more than 187,000 deaths. now, a new model is predicting more than 410,000 americans will die from covid-19 by january. it has been put together by the university of washington's institute for health metrics and evaluation. the model cites a decrease in mask use in some regions and warns the total could go even higher if restrictions are eased. there's new information about covid-19 and the human heart and the risks that damage could pose for athletes and others. >> major league pitcher eduardo rodriguez didn't need an umpire to make the call. the red sox ace dropped out because of a heart issue caused by covid-19. now researchers in the bay area are shedding new light on how

widespread the damage to the heart could be. >> it is very concerning that even people who have not had such severe symptoms, we're finding now evidence for heart damage. >> the doctor directs the san francisco's gladstone institutes. in a ground breaking new study, a gladstone team oouds stem cells to create living beating heart cells and then infected those samps with covid-19. >> one, this virus can definitely get into the cells. when it gets in, it makes a lot more of itself pretty rapidly. then you see a lot of cell death. >> todd and his colleagues were able to image some of that damage. he said the virus's prime target is on the left. long strands of muscle fine per allow the heart to beat. in the image on the right, some of those same muscle strands are essentially shot into pieces by the virus. >> there is no way that a cell, a muscle, any muscle cell, would

be able to beat. >> and there is more news for athletes and others. when the gladstone team compard their findings to heart tissue taken from covid patient who's did not survive, they found evidence of the same damage. even in patients who were not diagnosed with heart issues. >> when we saw that, now maybe two, three weeks ago, that's when we felt compelled we need to put this out there. >> the timing could weigh into an increasingly urgent debate. college officials have now revealed evidence of heart inflammation in about a third of big ten football players with covid. that has donald trump is urging the league to start its season. the doctor said the danger of doing that is becoming more evident. >> the schools and athletes are realizing, they may have not even known they had covid. been asymptomatic. when you stress the heart, competitive athletics, then they're starting to see problems in several individuals.

>> and what isn't clear is whether that damage could worsen over the years and decades. affecting the lives of even healthy patients who survived covid-19. >> there is some encouraging news from gladstone. researchers stay cardiac cells they're creating could be critical in testing new hard drugs. come pounds that might be added to a covid treatment to prevent heart damage before it starts. >> a big day for parishioners of the san francisco catholic church. st. domino's held its first outdoor mask since the pandemic began. worshippers gathered in the parking lot wearing masks and 30 feet apart in accordance to city guidelines. the church's pastor says there is a real pastoral need to attend mass while parishioners delighted in the ability to receive communicate again. >> we believe it is the body of christ. not a piece of bread that represents the body of christ. you can't get that over the

internet. >> we've been live streaming all of our masses and have been connected to folks in a real powerful way. yet there's nothing like the real thing and any kind of human interaction. >> it makes a difference. city guidelines do limit the services to just 12 people. the archbishop is calling on city officials to, quote, remove the excessive limits on outdoor public worship. there won't be any parades or festivals but organizers of carnival san francisco still have big plans for the event rescheduled for this weekend. they've decided to hold a two-day event to help the latino community which has been disproportionately hit by the pandemic. staffers will have free covid tests, a job and health fair as well. it takes place tomorrow and sunday on harrison between 18 and 20th streets. >> an 8-year-old richmond boy who has been helping others throughout the pandemic is expanding his efforts. take a look. we introduced you to eagle back

in april when he set up his table outside his home on weeks offering free food to his neighbors starting with a sign saying take what you need. according to his mom, he retired his table and check it out. he is now operating a 24-hour a day seven day a week food pantry. it is an effort he began on his recent birthday. how cool. congratulations! >> wow! when does he sleep? 24/7? like 7-eleven! >> so how many are you willing to pay for a private meal at the french

harley is now with her companion staff sergeant a.j. the two first met when he was deployed in the middle east. so cute right there. so i'm glad to see congress is doing something. that's one thing. since ama, we know you have an interest in dogs, you might as well jump in. >> i think it's great that they were able to playing it work. there are so many dogs in need of a good home and if someone is willing, that's great. it help our vets and such. mental health right now is so tough and animals make such -- except when they're going crazy in the house, they make such a positive impact on our lives. >> they're therapeutic and they help in so many ways. not to mention, sending a dog back and forth can be kind of traumatic. >> yeah. i'm so glad there's a happy resolution. moving on. halloween may be weeks away but there is already a drive to keep people from dressing up as

covid-19 germs. coronavirus costumes hitting halloween dismays in stores. this is so distasteful. le folks are saying it is in poor taste given the catastrophic consequences the pandemic has brought. one author likened to it dressing up as terrorist during halloween 2001. i mean, we're looking at these pictures. they're pretty hilarious. could you imagine a child wanting to partake in this? what do you think? it is definitely distasteful. i also think at a time like this when the pandemic is something serious and we should be taking it seriously, making light of it is perhaps people's way of coping with such a bad situation. they can't go out and take their

kids out trick or treating. maybe they're thinking, let's dress up in appropriate attire to what they think is appropriate attire. would it definitely scare the little ones though, especially if you have young kids. >> yeah, maybe if it is used for educational purposes? it could raise awareness to wearing a mask? i don't know. >> that sounds like a reach to me. >> you know, first of all, they're a lot more frightening looking. i expected, we show in the graphic, that teal and red looking thing. >> the blob. >> yeah. i think the people who maybe haven't been personally touched by covid. and i think that's when you need to step back and think about the people who really have been affected, who have lost loved ones. and in that respect, i think it is in poor taste. there are many other things you can dress up as. >> that's a great point. >> so could taking a animal be hazardous to your health? researchers found 39% of people who take regular naps and slept

longer than an hour saw an increase in their rigs of early death. they were also 34% more likely to have heart disease. this was all recently presented at the 2020 cardiology conference. ucsf chimed in saying in a tweet, the health effects of taking a animal are, quote, muc more complicated than previously believed. we have been could not our own research in the abc7 sports office and research assures me that naps nightly are helping them. so you can decide. sandhya, you seem like a person who might nap. >> what does that mean, larry? >> what does that mean? >> i don't mean to be attacked by all three of you. she has three children and a full-time job. she needs her rest. >> i don't! >> i do need my rest. i do need my rest. and you know what? you guessed right. i love my naps. >> hold. on can i have three apologies

first? >> go ahead, go ahead. ? i have no problems taking a animal on the weekends. if my husband and children are hanging out and i happen to be relaxing and i fall asleep, who cares in i'll getting my rest. i don't think that it is detrimental. i tend to argue with this. i don't think that it is bad for you. i don't understand why. if you're recharging, and do i sleep well. i go down like a rock at night. i have no problem sleeping. i don't understand how it is bad for your heart and all this other stuff. i'm all for napping. unlike what larry may think, and may imply. >> what? >> how about you, ladies? >> ama? >> i love a nap and i wonder if they take into account how many sleep you're getting overnight. for those of us working the night shift, we really noted a nap if we can get one. sometimes we have to get up early the next morning. and dion, even if you dome have

kids, you need naps, too. >> thank you. we are equal opportunity animnas at abc7. >> okay. we've got to move on. yesterday we told but the $1,200 soul cycle private session. here's another outrageous price tag. you can book a single table inside one of the french haunldory's three dining rooms. that means only one table at a time in the dining room. the meal is going to be pricey. dinlers will run $850. not for everybody but per person. for a party of two to up to eight people. the meal will include 2006 dom perignon, we've, canapes. i am so sorry. i have a threshhold and it is nowhere near that price tag for a meal. honestly, how long does dinner last in i don't care if i'm in the company of my favorite friends. we can grab a bucket of drum sticks and enjoy that.

>> i don't even like truffles. unless we're talking chocolate. >> no. very different truffles. >> wait a second! dion, you like to go out and dine out with your friends and your husband? you're one of these people who enjoys trying different kinds of food. i figured you would go for it. >> true, however, maybe if i got a massive pay raise, that would be fantastic. i mean, i'm just saying. my contract is coming up soon. if you want me eating there. >> let's negotiate our deals on live tv. managers love that kind of stuff, i think. >> yeah. >> and i would love three ♪ oh, oh, oh, ozempic®! ♪ (announcer) once-weekly ozempic® is helping many people with type 2 diabetes like emily lower their blood sugar. a majority of adults who took ozempic® reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. here's your a1c. oh! my a1c is under 7!
