temperatures and places like santa rosa are down nearly 13 degrees napa. we're down down to 97 after being 96 in san francisco. we're down to 84. we're down to 95 in san mateo 91 in oakland all those areas hit nearly 100 degrees earlier today the local i see breeze has returned, but only for a select few we still have some heat possible until 8 o'clock this evening along the coast 8

o'clock tomorrow. we're in the heat advisory in san francisco. and for the bay shoreline it goes all the way through thursday, but of course the most dangerous heat is going to be along the bay shoreline till 8 o'clock this evening with those 100s and then we'll take the bay shoreline out of it and it will be the rest of those areas you see in that hot pink to red that could still reach 110 and 112 tomorrow into the nearly 110s thursday and even friday. we're still going to be into the 100s, but in abrupt change is coming this weekend temperatures going to drop nearly 30 degrees and i'm watching some tropical moisture. we'll see if there's any thunderstorms in the forecast also. as long as those temperatures have peak that is good news. thank you mike. let's head to abc 7 news. anchor karina nova live in the newsroom with the latest on the possible rotating blackouts karina. yeah, kristen larry. we've been now upgraded to a level two energy emergency alert. that means your power could be shut off and pg&e just tweeted about 15 minutes ago that calaiso has directed utilities to prepare for possible rotating power outages and in just a moment. i'm going to show you how to find out if your areas affected first. let's take a look at the demand in real time. this is the demand trend graph that shows the system demand compared to what's been forecasted right now. we are above that forecasted demand and do want to let you know that we did set a demand record already today here in the bay area while some people did lose power yesterday and today it wasn't because of the plant rotating power outages, that would be mandated by cal iso pg. says here's why today they already have outage blocks planned out. especially during a historic heat event like this people are looking to cool their homes. they're arriving home from work for the day and that is typically when we would see the highest demand your address to find out which block you're in and then check below to see if

you may be impacted so you can see all the ones listed right there block 50 customers by the way are not usually included and rotating outages because they share a circuit with a hospital or other essential facility in more than 50% of customers are in block 50 if you're wondering how long will your power be out if you are affected by that rotating outage pg&e says you should plan for an hour to two hours and while pg&e will try to call or text or post on social media to give you a heads up that is not always possible. so you'll want to be ready just in case live in the newsroom karina nova abc 7 news karina. thank you some of the hottest spots in the bay area right now are in. bay abc 7 news reporter suzanne fawn joining us live from livermore. they hit a record yesterday suzanne. i think it was up like 110 and perhaps another record today. pretty crazy that it was that hot across the bay area. there are scattered outages right now and right here in

livermore where we're at. they're about a hundred customers without power. meanwhile the thousands of customers that were impacted overnight and early this morning. they tell me that just relieved to have it back. it's been on 77 and now it's getting hotter even with the air on nancy. mckenzie is dealing with the blistering heat the best way she can inside drinking ice cold water enjoying her cool house fans fortunately right now her air conditioning is working last night. it was a different story. it was awful. it went out about 10 after six. and i just looked at the fan i was sitting with my husband and everything stopped. she's worried about her four-legged friends. it's just hard on the dogs and the cats, you know, our dog was panting and i tried to get water cold water for him and when it came time to go to sleep and i just went to bed and sweat it out the night it was bad being senior citizens were particularly concerned about it.

i think that maybe the equipment needs a little more updating and i know as frankly annoyed pg&e is 5800 customers in livermore like nancy mckenzie lost power overnight. most of them had a back by 3 am this morning at 6. am pg&e says another 3200 customers in livermore lost their power their power is back four hours later, though. no rolling blackouts were in effect during these outages. we asked pg&e why these outages were happening here in livermore and across the bay area. we are seeing equipment stressed. we don't have that overnight cooling that helps the equipment really get a break and so we are seeing a fair number of pieces of equipment go out of service and we're doing everything to replace that equipment on the fly as as we have these experiences. and here in livermore, no question about it. the temperatures are in the triple digits. now pg&e says it has less than 10,000 customers across the entire bay area today impacted

by power outages that's down from 45,000 customers yesterday. and pg&e says crews are looking into the cause and working as quickly as possible to restore power to those customers. live in livermore suzanne fawn abc 7 news susan. thank you. and i stand corrected. i'm told it was actually 116 yesterday the high in livermore now, let's go to abc 7 news anchor dion limb. she's very happy that it's not 116 where she is. she's in one of the cooler spots in the bay today dion. hudson larry after battling triple digit temperatures in livermore and in pleasant hill yesterday. the news gods have bestowed upon me the best assignment of the day. it is to check out the coolest spots in the bay area and apparently an awful lot of other people had the same idea as well. check it out. we went to venice beach. no not the one in southern california, but the one in half moon bay. we met people from some of the hottest places like castro valley and san jose and they all have the same idea beat the heat

65 everyone else oakland sfo and napa. we're all within a degree. we'll have a few more record low warm low temperatures tomorrow. now, here's our preliminary highs for today and you can see livermore napa along with san jose and santa rosa records now, san jose 109 and santa rosa 115. those may be all time record high temperatures like that 116 was yesterday in livermore, which was all time for anywhere in the bay area. so record warm loads tonight unhealthy air and heat for day five tomorrow cooler weekend. we're watching k some tropical clouds are coming our way right now. it doesn't look like thunderstorms, but it's definitely something we have to keep an eye on you can see even though the sea breeze is back the cloud cover has it come with it. there's just a small area of low pressure. look at that brought that southerly wind in and that's what brought some relief to some neighborhoods. in fact, those winds you can see you're spreading around they'll be a little bit faster tonight, but they're going to be blowing on around hot air in many areas like the bay in inland still in the 90s through at least seven the clock 90's in line up until about nine o'clock 670s and 80s at 10 o'clock.

so another difficult if not stuffy evening a couple of records again tonight is six seasons 70s are in the offing for lowe's tomorrow morning even some 70 and 80s up on our hills for tomorrow. look at that 94 and sunnyvale to about 102 in los gatos, and i can see in the asterisks tomorrow. the record eyes are so hot. we won't even be close to him 88 to 96 on the peninsula mid-70s for most of the coast to 68 and the sunset near 80 to 86 degrees for downtown at south san francisco mid 90s to near 100 through most of the north bay valleys for the east bay. we're looking at 83 to about 98 degrees and as you head inland still 100 degrees 102 in san ramon to 117 and brentwood. so here's my accuweather seven day forecast. so still going to be hot tomorrow, but it's going to spike again thursday with record highs possible day. actually seven friday will be our final day and then look at saturday possibly 60 70s and 80s, but it'll be safer to be

outside. but that's also when the tropical moisture starts to roll in the thickest clouds will be sunday. so it'll be one or two of those days that we have to watch for those. thunderstorms if they do develop we know for sure kristen. there's some beneficial rains coming to socal just will they make it here? we'll let you know as we get closer. cleaning up the confusion over some of the upcoming propositions in the november election. that's next. my a1c stayed here, it needed to be here. ruby's a1c is down with rybelsus®. my a1c wasn't at goal, now i'm down with rybelsus®. mom's a1c is down with rybelsus®.

outage. so we really try and keep the rotating. just too short walks of customers for short amount of couple hours max and to keep rotating them quickly and also to make sure that the same group of customers are not impacted again during a pg&e also says so far our conservation efforts during flex alerts have been working and have helped pg&e avoid the need for power shut-offs. there's some heat related outages right now that aren't related to the rotating outages about 15,000 people in the bay area are affected most in the south bay. all right, abc 7 news meteorologist mike nico back here with the latest on temperatures and if any relief is on the way. yeah, i could feel it right now. larry feels like temperatures dropped a couple degrees since i arrived up here about an hour ago on the roof, and that's that localized seabreeze that now as san francisco down from 98 earlier to 84 in san mateo in the mid 90s down to 85 degrees in oakland around 97 down to 91

one 12 today and napa down to 97 and 1:15 in santa rosa down to 101. so it's still very hot in many areas. coliseum is going to be a little warm tonight as we welcome in the world series champion, atlanta braves 84 dropping down to about 73 degrees tomorrow. we're looking at temperatures not as extreme today. in fact, i don't have any records on the map, but i still have dangerously warm temperatures so that heat risk is going to continue away from places like the coast in san francisco. in fact tomorrow almost the entire state save the sierra under advisories once again now i am seeing some relief as we head in towards the weekend and look at that friday in san diego. that's where some of that rain from hurricane k. finally makes its presence known to california for us right now. it looks like just more cloud cover this weekend, but temperatures nearly 30 degrees cooler, but we have to wait until saturday larry. we still have three more days of dangerous heat. he's got to get to the weekend spare. the year alert has been extended

into tomorrow. so that means a fifth consecutive day and you can see how hazy the skies were over santa clara the valley today folks sensitive to pollution are being asked to stay indoors avoid breathing any bad air and you can blame the heat wave and our driving habits for this in this case. we don't have those high winds. and so we're getting more stagnant air. and so the that makes with the motor motor vehicle exhaust in the high temperatures is the perfect combitiadir so to improve air quality we're being asked to cut back on our driving instead rely on public transit air quality officials say they'll look at the data tomorrow to determine whether the alert gets extended again the heat is not helping firefighters on the front lines of several major wildfires burning up and down the state at the deadly mill fire in siskiyou county. firefighters are hopeful the acreage does not grow that's despite stronger winds forecast for this afternoon. the fire has burned at least 42,000 acres and is 55%

contained at least 150 homes have burned. another fire is raging near the riverside county community of hemet the so-called fairview fire has burned 2,400 acres in his only five percent contained. do people trying to escape were killed in a canyon the fire started yesterday evacuation orders are still in place officials fear the hot weather could allow this fire to more than double in size. you can track the wildfires burning in california with online interactive wildfire tracker. you'll find it at abc 7 news.com. we're still two months away from the november election, and i'm sure you've seen it we're being inundated with ads especially about propositions 26 and 27 about sports gambling abc 7 news. anchor liz kreutz explains what your vote means by now, you've likely heard about the efforts to legalize sports betting in california vote yes on prop 27 join more than 50 gaming and non-gaming tribes throughout california. vote.

no on prop 27. yeah. those ads are airing all across the state for and against the two propositions and frankly. it's a little confusing. so let's break it down first and foremost what is sports betting? well, it's a form of gambling where someone can wager cash on a sporting event sports betting except for horse racing is currently not legal in california. there used to be a nationwide band, but a 2018 supreme court ruling overturn that and since then more than half the states in the country including, new york, new jersey, arizona have legalized some form of sports betting it's now up to california to decide what to do here. that brings us to the november election. so on the ballot, we'll be two dueling initiatives prop 26 and prop 27 both would legalize sports betting one or both could pass and there's a lot of money at stake with all of it. so let's start with prop 26. it's funded by native american tribes and would allow sports betting to happen in person at

tribal casinos and at four horse racing tracks across the state. it would also allow casinos to offer roulette crafts and other dice games which are also currently illegal. you'd have to be at least 21 years old to place a bet and there would be no bedding on high school or college games those same age in gay restrictions apply to prop 27 the difference. is that prop 27 would allow online sports betting meaning you could literally place wagers on your phone from your couch the way it would work. is that big out of state gaming companies like fanduel and draftkings that are funding this proposition could partner with native american tribes to offer online even mobile sports gambling the cost to do so however is really big it would cost to tribe 10 million dollars just for the initial sports betting license and that's partly why many but not all native american tribes are against it. they say it would prevent smaller operators from breaking in opponents also raise concerns about how these gaming companies

would regulate under age use supporters of prop 27. however, which by the way include gaming companies and major league baseball argue. it could benefit small rural tribes that don't have much foot traffic. they also say it would generate hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue for the state and its money. they will be almost entirely allocated to addressing homelessness and mental health issues. that's why some homeless groups support it and also why you're seeing a lot of ads like this one that talk less about sports betting and more about solving the homelessness crisis. prop 27 generates hundreds of millions every year to permanently fund getting people off the streets and into housing prop 26 not a dime to solve homelessness. 26 would also generate a lot although not quite as much money for the state that money would go to the states general fund supporters argue sports. betting is already happening legal or not. so the state may as well bring it above board and benefit from it. they also say prop 26 could help

struggling native american tribes many against it really just oppose sports betting they say issues around compulsive gambling and the financial impact on families the california republican party has come out against both prop 26 and prop 27 the california democratic party has come out against prop 27 and is neutral on prop 26. still that has not stopped the backers of these two props from spending more than 350 million dollars so far to pass these initiatives. that's a campaign finance spending record. and the other question is what happens if they both pass. well, it turns out both could become law or the one with the most votes could take it to court arguing the laws conflict big picture prop 26 and prop 27 are about who could or should control this potential multi-billion dollar sports betting industry. that is if either even passes and we'll find out soon in november. wow. liz did a great job of breaking that down and it still may make

your head want to explode with all the possibilities are if you want to watch that story again or share it with your friends go to abc7 news.com. a close encounter with a bear and some unconventional ways to keep cool even when bears aren't around before is next. - you okay? - there's a flex alert today so i'm mentally preparing for the power outage. oh, well we can help stop one because we are going to reduce our energy use from 4-9pm. what now? i stepped on a plug. oh that's my bad! unplugging. when it comes to preventing outages the power is ours. you might take something for your heart... your joints... or your digestion... so why wouldn't you take something for the most important part of you... your brain.

conserve or face rotating blackouts. demand is expected to peek at more than 51,000 megawatts of energy anytime now and that will set a new record in the state today on midday live. we asked you how much you were conserving and how you were doing it the majority of you are but 11% say you're not doing any you know, i'm not sure people were saying they're not doing anything or just not doing any of the options that we presented. maybe they have different ideas michael. you always have good ideas. not having it depends. are you fully charged? no, i'm not about two-thirds. i actually was thinking about exactly the same thing and wondering when the blackout was coming if it was coming. so we're hearing obviously about

some unconventional ways to keep cool when it's hot, especially so many people in the bay area just do not have air conditioning and one of our producers puts ice packs in bed when she goes to sleep at night. oh we yeah wet i you know just use your imagination as to how that works another idea put a sheet on your cloth couch he any it reallyeeol unconventional things that you do to keep cool? who wants it wants to start with us michael's already? he's powered everything down. well, i can tell you one thing we're doing now. this isn't going to sound unconventional because you guys don't live in this city, but here i'm driving around with the window down and that just doesn't happen in the city of san francisco. it's never warm enough for that. i was doing that today when i was running some errands. was fun. i mean, you know to i know this is very dangerous, but i was having a good time driving around town. you got to make the best of it. yeah, kristen anything my kids

when they used to play outdoor sports, like baseball. we had that you know little water sprayer with the fan. oh, yeah right about battery powered. so i have with that out and there's a chance i could use it tonight. i may be moving the whole family into the sports department where it's nice and cool. haven't really told the bosses about that yet, but they'll find out. yeah sleeping bag. yeah bill on the governor's desk takes on the environmental impact of dying. it would allow cemeteries and crematoriums to adopt eco-friendly practices like human decomposition. it involves allowing unembond or cremated remains to naturally decompose. supporters say it's better for the earth rather than using embalming chemicals or cremation the latest 90210 actor luke perry drew attention, right the actor did to the practice when he died. in 2019. hmm. yeah thoughts about this. i started watching yellowstone

yesterday. that's what we binged with the lights off the tv was on in the air conditioner. that was it, but it was interesting kevin costner gave this speech about how he buries all of his family on the property and then they decompose and he planted a tree on top of them and that's his circle of life. i thought that was kind of interesting and now we're tying it into this. yeah, i mean. this is such a like a hard topic for so many people to talk about me included once you're dead. you know, i mean, does it matter that much, you know, i would i guess for a service so that people actually see you in a state that you'd like to be presented in but what once you go into the ground. i don't know that the does it doesn't matter either way. i think some people don't want to don't want you to see them in that state and you know, maybe this would be beneficial for them because then you would remember them when they were healthy before you saw them. yeah rest and maybe that's for

these people. yeah, i mean it similar to the whole cremation argument and you know, do you want to what direction you want to go and it's a hard conversation very personal conversation and decision. yeah. all right. we'll move on to something a little bit lighter here a close encounter with a bear. so two men were apparently eating a pizza outside a hotel in kentucky and you see a bear at the at they're watching and they're recording the bear. they pull the pizza out of the bear's reach. but the bear gets his way and he grabs the pizza. it's a little fuzzy. so it's a little bit hard to see. but it's not a huge bear. well, no, but but i'm gonna say, you know a hundred times out of a hundred. i'm giving the bear my pizza. yeah, they look like guys that, you know, pretty confident probably normally wouldn't want to mess with them. but even they know who's the alpha here. take the pizza, please. they don't seem like terribly phased or you know afraid or

just they're just like oh, yeah, this is my buddy the bear. oh you want to slice? oh wait, you want the whole pie? yeah. oh, this is just like yogi and boo boo. it's nothing. yeah turns into something. well, you said it's not that big of a bear. i mean every bear looks big to me. yeah. how big of a bear are you? all right. we leave it there. we leave it there. that's it for the ford what's the difference between prop 26 and prop 27? 26? not one dime to get people off the streets and into housing 27 generates hundreds of million to help solve homelessness. the choice is clear yes on prop 27. ♪ (don't stop me now) ♪ ♪♪ ♪ (don't stop me) ♪ ♪ 'cause i'm having a good time ♪ ♪ having a good time ♪ ♪ i'm a shooting star leaping through the sky like a tiger ♪ ♪ defying the laws of gravity ♪ ♪ (don't stop me now) ♪ ♪ 'cause i'm having a good time ♪ ♪ i don't wanna stop at all, yeah ♪
