might be appear to be a local story but it is much deeper. grant avenue might as well be main street u.s.a. where the issue of vaccines has divided a nation. >> i would really love to have a town hall. reporter: in june, anti-vaxers disrupt adderally by congressman jared huffman and there have been other incidents. at a time when science says we have a cure for this pandemic instead, we have controversy. about freedom. using covid as a catalyst. >> it's a slippery slope if you start mandating things to happen for people. eventually where does it end? reporter: that's mary ann turner not vaccinated having lunch with her husband, damon, who is. after 31 years together they have agreed to disagree. >> what usually happens is extreme measures are needed to have a moderate reaction. reporter: this in a county that's vaccinated almost 90% of its population. the other 10% not popular right now. >> she can boycott me all they want. please, i don't want them in here if they're not doing the

40% in person. across the 23 campus c.s.u. system that number is 60%. a bit short of what the hope was earlier this the year. >> going back to december, we had announced the aspiration to have the majority of courses and activities take place in person. so we are still working with that. i think we spread -- the spread of the delta variant is forcing us to kind of re-evaluate all of our plans. reporter: san francisco state plans to offer just 40% in person or hybrid. 60% at san jose state, and 65% at cal state chico. a walnut creek family the michigan tires are sending two -- michigan tiers are sending two sons to separate c.s.u. campuses. >> and i'm over the moon happy that they are going off to college. ecstatic. they're excited. they're a little nervous, naturally. but they're excited, too. and it's -- i have hope for the

future. reporter: by september 30, pretty much everyone attending a c.s.u. will be fully vaccinated. yet that won't necessarily trigger a change in the masking policies. depending on the campus. that is a decision that will be made in the weeks and months to come. in heyward, laura anthony, abc7 news. dan: all right. let's move in and talk a little bit about the weather forecast as we inch a little closer to the weekend. dion: just a little bit. sandhya patel monitoring that doppler for us. sandhya: that's right. it's getting interesting by the hour here. dion and dan, i want to show you live doppler seven. because we've had the monsoon moisture moving in from the south. we are seeing thunderstorms in the sierra nevada which obviously we don't need right now with so many wildfires burning. but off the coastline, also multiple radar returns showing up. now, this morning, we had a couple of isolated showers in the north bay. some sprinkles. and that's certainly still a possible -- still possible as we look at live doppler seven. most of this is not hitting the ground. but offshore, there are a few

drops showing up. let me show you the hour-by-hour forecast later on tonight, we'll continue to see some of those mid and high level clouds moving in. look at what happens tomorrow morning. a little bit of green showing up which means there is potential for a couple of drops tomorrow morning. still going to see some more mid and high level clouds. as remnants of tropical storm kevin continue to move through the bay area. here's a live view right now. i'm going to step aside so you can really get a good view. not only are we dealing with the haze and the smoke, but we have the monsoon moisture which is creating just a gray sky right now. here's a look at those temperatures. 62 in san francisco. 69 in oakland. san jose, 79 degrees. the combination of the clouds and the smoke actually preventing us from warming. it was cooler today. just about everywhere. and a hazy view from our san jose camera tonight. 75 in santa rosa, 77 in novato. upper 80's from concord to livermore. it was hot, in places like vacaville in the low 100's and even concord and livermore and fairfield got up into the 1990's today. but at least it wasn't

excessive. golden gate bridge camera a foggy view with some haze as well. isolated drops possible into tomorrow morning. hazy skies tomorrow with an air quality advisory. extended. and it's heating up in -- i want to show you the smoke from the satellite perspective. just look how bad it is across much of the northern two thirds of the state. and some of that smoke certainly drifting into our area. that is going to continue especially in the upper layers of the atmosphere later on tonight. still some heavy smoke. we go into tomorrow, and it continues to linger. and look at this. saturday morning, we're still looking at some reds which is some of that thicker smoke so once again, that air quality advisory in effect through tomorrow may get extended into saturday by the air district. 50's, 60's in the morning and watch out, might be a couple of sprinkles or an isolated shower tomorrow afternoon, upper 60's to the low 90's. we will see hazy skies with a combination of sun, smoke, and high clouds. the accuweather seven day forecast, hazy skies tomorrow, hot inland with triple digits, saturday, sunday, upper 60's,

coast side and then inland cooler and breezier start to the new workweek. back down to the seasonal range for tuesday through thursday. but until then, definitely try to limit your outdoor time especially if you're sensitive to smoke. dan: back into the triple digits. all right.

dan: walnut creek loam is -- walnut creek home is about to be sold for $1 million. dion: not too farfetched. it is the bay area but a big catch because it has been gutted by a fire. east bay community journalist melissa pixar explains why -- explains why the interest in this property was so high. >> only on the market for three days. this property was listed at $850,000 and it went for significantly over list price. it was a four bedroom, two bath home in a beautiful neighborhood in the northgate school area. close to the park. walking trails, everything. unfortunately, it had a fire. >> it's pretty unbelievable that a teardown would go for that kind of cash right now. i guess we are california. but that's a lot of money for a teardown. >> we have a lot of investors and contractors out there looking for properties like this.

i had eight offers that came in. i probably had over 75 to up to 100 phone calls, emails, and texts on this property. i'm still getting calls on it now that it's pending. asking if they can make backup offers. >> tear it down quick. if they don't tear it down they will need a whole lot of paint and wallpaper. >> unless you're a 100% season person you will need a contractor and architect and a designer. and so the wording is there because that's what it's going to take. to me, it really has so much to offer when so much is left undone, you get to put your own mark on it. so the minute i saw it, the contractor in me rose up and i said this is a fantastic opportunity. dan: went so fast, too. dion: yeah. only in the bay area. fantastic opportunity.

dan: we appreciate your time. dan ashley.
