ama: and i am ama daetz. this is the same concern in the bay area as we experience excessive heat. we have team coverage on the impact this heat can have on your health. dan: we begin with meteorologist sandhya patel who is on the roof of the building, with the latest on the conditions right now. sandhya: we have some changes to talk about, extreme heat is still happening, but will begin later and it will still last longer. let me show you the excessive heat warning. it covers all inland areas from 11 a.m. sunday until 8 p.m. tuesday, up to 100 degrees expected. solano county until 8:00 p.m. wednesday. the heat advisory no longer covers the coast of san francisco, but it still includes the bay shoreline and parts of the coastal range highs up to eight degrees. it will be hard enough to cross high to very high heat risk illness. keep that in mind. temperatures rising and so will

the heat risk. 100 tomorrow, 106 monday. 108 labor day. even around the bay it will get up into the 90's. coast side, 60's to the 70's. a friendly reminder, it gets much harder inside the vehicle, never leave kids or pets in the car. stay hydrated were cool and spend time outdoors during the day, and check on relatives and neighbors. what i will be back to let you know exactly how hot it will be in the area, or whether you will actually escape the heat for this holiday weekend kept. ama: we will check back in with you. and the hot weather is expected to strain the power grid, which is what flex alert is in effect until tomorrow at 9:00. don't charge your electric car during these hours or use major appliances like a dishwasher, washer and dryer, or oven or stove. and turn off any unnecessary lights. dan: now, even though san

franciscans walk up to a blanket of fog, the reality is that extreme heat events are increasing in the city. rather than stand on the sideline, city officials are creating a heat map to determine which neighborhoods are most vulnerable to the impact of extreme heat. abc7 news reporter lyanne melendez has more on the information that is vital to preparing for climate change. lyanne: some like it hot, better health implications of increasing temperatures are of concern to a city with so-called urban heat islands. >> lots of concrete and not a lot of trees. the heat can go up considerably. >> there are a large number of services, coupled with the lack of tree cover and shade. lyanne: because temperatures will be higher this weekend, volunteers are mapping the city to discover which neighborhoods get hardest during the heat wave. using car mounted sensors,

volunteers began collecting data beginning at 6:00 a.m., then 3:00 p.m., and 7:00 at night. >> being able to capture the heat and humidity also helps us understand how long the heat is persisting in certain pockets of our city. lyanne: think of it as a preemptive strike. if neighbors are told their street is harder than other places in the city and there is a lot of concrete and few green spaces, there are a few things the city can do to make things cooler. parks and more trees help with urban cooling. that a no-brainer. so, san francisco can, for example, reconfigure sidewalks to make room for more trees. in los angeles, painting the pavement in a light-colored sealant to reflect the heat has become popular in neighborhoods with little green spaces. in new york, reflective roofs are keeping the buildings from trapping heat, making things much cooler.

san francisco may not be as hard as those two cities, but knowing that our climate is undergoing changes, the idea is to start working now on making it a heat -proof city. in san francisco, lyanne melendez, abc7 news. ama: ama: the combination of hot weather and holiday weekend is expected to have many people flock into cooler parts of the bay area to beat that heat. the hospital emergency room near one of the most popular spots says it is staffed up and ready to care for patients. reporter zach fuentes talked about easy ways to stay out of the er altogether. zach: hot weather and long weekends are usually what it takes to paint this picture of beaches. crowds of people hoping to escape from hot temperatures where they live. historically this emergency room ends up having to care for many of those tourists. >> this weekend we staffed up. we added additional staff to the

emergency department and on top of that, we have staff who are on call. zach: tammy green is the manager of the emergency department. they refer to the time between memorial day and labor day as a 100 deadliest days. >> that is when incidents of drunk drivings, unfortunately, and fatalities related to them, increases. zach: on topzach: of that, the current heat wave has added to their concerns. >> even more people who, may be before this, were not considering traveling towards the ocean and cooler areas. so we are going to have more people out on the road. zach: although the beach might be the ideal place to find relief, climate experts say you may want to postpone outdoor activities in or near santa cruz county. >> locations up in the hills stay hot overnight, so if you go up for camping or hiking and if you go out in the early morning, it is still going to be hot and dry, and it is going to be a

stress on your body. zach: green says, while older people are more prone to heat sickness, no one should underestimate the heat. >> we have had young people who went out and enjoyed the day out on the boardwalk and found themselves feeling dehydrated, dizzy, nauseated and needing to come to the emergency department. zach: she highlights important signs to avoid getting to that point and finding yourself here. >> when getting to the point where you start to feel off balance, that is your buddy saying you need to hydrate. hydrate adequately when on the water. zach: zach fuentes, abc7 news. dan: dozens of parks and recreation areas will be closed on sunday and monday because of this extreme heat. the east bay regional parks district says 40 of its parks in the dryer wildfire-prone will be off-limits. that includes tilden, wildcat canyon, redwood and simply. however, the parks closer to the shoreline will be open, as well
