11:17 pm
subherds within the reserve and the three other herds can't access that water. so it's not enough to stop elk from dying right now. the park service has taken no steps to provide additional food for the tule elk. we'll monitor tomorrow's meeting in federal court and report back to you. for the iteam, dan noyes, abc7 news. i can't move around outdoors. >> he is certainly not alone. happening right now, a historic heatwave in the pacific northwest. parts of washington state and oregon have been roasting under record heat in triple digits. air conditioning is not common in many homes because this kind of heat isn't usual in that part of the country. people are searching for relief wherever they can find it. >> we always have misters on the side for real hot days, but there's 150 of them now on the patio. because this is a concert venue it has really good air conditioning, too. so it's holding up all right. >> this is really a sign of how

11:20 pm
there are still steps we can take now to prevent worsening climate conditions. >> hardening homes and clearing defensible space around structures is something that we all can do in terms of reducing ignitions. more than 90% of the ignitions in california are human caused. >> reporter: in san francisco, luz pena, abc7 news. >> i don't know if the mist and drizzle we're supposed to be getting is any kind of relief. it helps us in the near term, the core of that heat in seattle and portland will stay to the north. we won't see the extreme heat here thankfully. we'll see some fog, wish we could transport this to the pacific northwest. a live look right now, that marine layer is growing as we speak, can't even see the tops of the bay bridge right now. it's chopped off by fog and this is an indication that keepinour tenext couple spots days. right now we're mainly in the 50s and in the 60s, 59 in

the afternoon the fog breaks down, pulls back to the coastline. the afternoon is looking beautiful but maybe one or two degrees warmer than we were earlier today. overnight tonight we'll track that fog rolling in again. it will be locally dense along the coastline, mid- to upper 50s for most of us, 508 overnight, in oakland, 56 in san francisco, 58 in san jose, dropping to 59 for the low in concord. tomorrow you start off with cloud cover. the afternoon is bright and just slightly warmer tomorrow than we were today, hit about 70 in oakland, which is pretty comfortable for this time of year, 65 in the city, 80 in san jose with a in napa, 90 in concord. lakeport going to 96 degrees, so it's for that fact lake county does have a heat advisory until tuesday at 9 p.m. for those hotter temperatures in the 90s. that does elevate the risk of heat-related illnesses. for a lot of us, we're dealing with breezy conditions
11:23 pm
tomorrow afternoon. by 4:00 or 5:00 future weather showing wind gusts strongest along the coast and through the delta, probably 20 to 35 miles per hour our stongest gust. by tuesday looks to be our warmest day all week. it's not intense heat by any means, but inland we're going into the mid-90s, see about 75 in oakland, 82 in san jose, but the onshore flow keeping the coast cool in the 60s. here's the accuweather seven- day forecast. tomorrow we have morning cloud cover, morning drizzle. tuesday is the warmest day we have all week. we'll keep that summer spread with us through wednesday and late in the week and all indications for the holiday, saturday and sunday, especially for the fourth, really nice, a little change. we'll probably be dealing with th ce back this year, a pretty typical pattern for us right now. >> we do want to see that fireworks. >> i don't know, that fog. we'll try. >> thanks. before we head to break a friend dan ashley who got married on saturday.
