tennis court but everywhere surrounding it. >> we are still trying to let the kids know we are not out of it. >> the reason we are playing this is because of certain cancellations. we definitely want the kids to have fun. we are doing everything we can to make sure we have a season. the last thing we want is for it to get canceled or for anybody to get sick or hurt. dustin: while there was no official winner on the scoreboard, the true victory was getting football back once again. >> go eagles. >> go bruins. liz: let's get a check outside, frances. frances: i want to show you this live shot from henry ville. we have that cooler and cleaner ocean air helping to push the haze out of the bay area. cooler temperatures coming up. liz: also ahead, they are rolling up their sleeves for a third time. one of the first covid-19 booster shot clinics opens up in the bay area. tracking dangerous weather.

and then this afternoon, as that sea breeze picks up once again, we will see mostly sunny conditions around the bay area, but it looks like we will even get more sunshine down in santa cruz. we will get to see some blue skies hopefully today. still some haze out there, but it is going to be better. in san francisco, your high will be 63. we are definitely on the cooler side compared to average. oakland, 69 degrees. more sunshine as well in the north bay. temperatures in the 70's. napa, 72 degrees. overnight lows will also be a little bit cooler tonight. a great time to open up the windows and get that cleaner air and cool down your homes. in the north bay, we will see low 50's around the bay, mid 50's and then we will get the extensive marine layer and cloud cover overnight. highs are going to ramp up as high pressure builds in. i want to show you what it looks

something many with health concerns have been waiting for. reporter: the line was long outside the center for this free covid-19 booster shot clinic, one of the first in the bay area. 82-year-old michaela dray -- michal dramea was one of the first in line. >> these are people particularly vulnerable to covid-19. reporter: pfizer or moderna vaccine booster shots were available to county residents who are immunocompromised. >> the whole reason we are hosting this clinic is we want to make this third dose easily accessible to those that really need it, those that have weakened immune systems. reporter: julie habits from nevada made an appointment the moment she heard. >> because of going through cancer treatment, it was important to have the booster shot. reporter: daughter jenny calls

the third shot a godsend. >> she has fought so long and so hard for us and it is just one more thing that will heap -- that will help keep her safe. reporter: about 1300 folks are getting booster shots today. with the delta variant on the rise, many people have said they are afraid to even go out. >> you don't know how safe you are. there are a lot of factors that make me feel i need to do more, more to protect myself. reporter: for now, the cdc recommends only people with immunocompromised -- who are immunocompromised get the booster shot but it could become available to the general public as early as next month. >> we are starting our planning for mass vaccination when that occurs. reporter: for many, the booster is extra confidence, in a world where the pandemic is far from over. >> i feel a little bit safer. liz: this is the first weekend for san francisco's latest covid mandate. the city's bars and restaurants, you need to show that you have been vaccinated and you also

have to wear a mask. we asked people if they felt safer because of it. >> i will say i do. it definitely feels like the chance of getting something is reduced. >> saving lives, being vaccinated, i think it is helpful. >> overall, i think once we can sort of calm this down, it will be worth it. liz: you have to show proof of vaccination but what does that mean? michael finney explains what you need to know. michael: there are plenty of ways to prove you have been vaccinated, aside from showing the paper card, you can take a picture of your card with your phone and show that. you can also show a digital vaccine record issued by the state of california. the san francisco department of public health has approved free digital clock -- free digital vaccine cards. >> when you have to walk around,

private data, pullout cards from your wallet, we think we can do that in a more secure and frictionless way. instead of having to worry about that cdc card, we can make that seamless and simply a credential in the app. you pull it up and you show your credential and you are in. michael: with restaurants, bars and entertainment venues on the front line, the san francisco chamber of commerce is helping chart the course. >> we believe in technology and science, and we believe that we should use every tool possible and available to us. michael: rodney is the chamber president and ceo. >> the vaccine mandate creates a safe space. there are many patrons who want to go to a space where we know the folks in the room are vaccinated as well. it is a safety consideration. liz: just ahead, what is the top priority for families and teachers going back to school?

liz: it is a new year filled with unique challenges. in one san francisco neighborhood, parents, teachers and nonprofits have set their education priorities. david louis shows us how a special partnership was formed. david: every child was impacted by the pandemic. maybe it was a lack of exercise, or academic challenges. in san francisco's visitation valley, special partnership has been formed, linking parents, teachers and nonprofit groups. alicia stevens has a nine-year-old daughter starting fourth grade this week. >> matter how difficult things get, they have someone or somewhere they can rest, if they feel like mom is not the best at it. david: they have run

neighborhood youth programs for 27 years and launched a study to set priorities. students listed social emotional learning as their top priority. families and nonprofits listed academics at the top of their list. teachers put mental health concerns first. kurt is the exact of director. >> we want to have an even balance between three of those to get started and not just emphasize one over the others. david: kids are under pressure to excel but she will monitor needs closely. >> academic needs are important but if we need to just let me know, so that mom knows how to gauge or rework what is going on. david: they did not wait until now to address the priority, partnering with teachers to help at summer camp. >> we work directly with the schools. we had teachers at our summer camp doing literacy intervention. i had staff doing literacy games and stuff like that. david: priorities may differ from one neighborhood to

another. here, it is a team effort. liz: still to come, fulll approval of the covid pfizer vaccine could be coming this week. what the move might mean for vaccinations in america. the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of a california family discovered on a hiking trail. what investigators are saying this morning.

to stay away because of the toxic bacteria. the epa saying warmer weather might make harmful allergy -- harmful algae more dangerous. >> in many body -- in many water bodies across the country, we are reaching a tipping point. serene: investigators say another possibility is carbon monoxide poisoning from nearby mines. >> i've never seen an incident like this where there is zero explanation. serene: there was no visible trauma and sheriff's offices are hosting -- are hoping -- liz: we are learning more about the rescue of a family who was stuck on a boat in the delta for two days. theis assumes city fire department rescued four people on thursday. rescuer say a family of three was on this boat that had mechanical problems. a family friend on a second vote come out to have -- came up to help them and also got stuck stop crews they rescues in this area are not uncommon. >> the delta is very

unforgiving, so boats typically get stuck quite a bit. we launch our boat on average once a month to assist people that are stuck. liz: fire crews see the family had no food for two days. thankfully, nobody was hurt. california's drought is leading to bay area officials taking drastic action to get people to conserve water. sonoma water is offering free water saving kits this weekend. there is a lot more than just these one gallon buckets. there is a low-flow showerhead, a self-closing garden hose and several other items to help people cut back. if you missed out, it will be more opportunities in the future to pick up a kit. house speaker nancy pelosi set a target date for the house to pass president biden's infrastructure bill. she sent a letter to fellow democrats setting the date for october 1. she also said the president's build back better has brought --
