they can rent a field through the city of oakland, but they have to pay for that. so the panthers have a go fund me page set up raising money so that they can rent out those facilities. >> and if you want to help the east bay panthers, we've posted a link to their gofundme page on our website. just go to abc seven news.com and look for this story. one of the most famous drag bars in the world is coming back. the stud will unveil its new home on folsom street in the soma neighborhood this morning. three years after the pandemic forced it to shut down. the owners of the 57 year old drag and dance club will be joined by city leaders and elected officials for today's announcement. while the location is new, there will be familiar elements as the owners kept many of the bars. original collections of queer memorabilia. the stud is expected to open by the end of winter. i want to remind you that oakland pride is happening this sunday and abc7 news is a

sunshine away from the coast. then overnight tonight, we'll find that marine layer redeveloping, maybe some coastal drizzle, and then we'll see that afternoon sunshine redevelop and pretty much will repeat that on thursday day and on friday as well. looking at highs across the region, mainly 60s along the coast, 70s around the bay shoreline 80s in our warmest spots inland. so you're finding temperatures pretty close to where we should be for this time of the year. overnight tonight, we'll find that mostly cloudy sky return across the region and we'll see those numbers dip into the 50s. things stay pretty steady through the end of the week. you don't find any real excessive heat in the forecast over the weekend. we'll start to warm up those temperatures a few degrees on saturday and then on sunday. this is the warmest day we have on the seven day forecast. but you see, it's not too bad. low and mid 90s in our warmest spots away from the coast 70s and 80s around the bay shoreline. so a few degrees above average. but we're not finding even in the extended period the next two weeks any sign of an intense heat wave coming our way in september? we

know september can be very hot this time of the year, but right now we're underneath a pretty steady pattern of morning fog to afternoon sunshine on the seven day forecast. we'll keep those temperatures close to average through the end of the week. there's that warm-up over the weekend. expect a lot of sunshine both saturday and sunday jobina. >> thank you, drew. good morning, everyone. we're going to zoom in on fremont right now where we're following a crash and they'll slow down on our maps yet at least southbound 8-80 past warren avenue. you have at least one lane blocked there. our dry times have increased. tracy to dublin officially very slow 52 minutes and now it's starting to slow down for the westbound for commute as well. antioch to concord, 27 minutes there. a live picture from the richmond, san rafael bridge where your speeds will be under the limit as you travel on the westbound direction. eastbound you're still pretty clear. our most east packed camera right now. definitely the bay bridge toll plaza metering lights came on at 538. >> gloria. all right. thank you so much, jobina and now let's turn to ginger zee. she's live with a look at what's coming up on good morning america. good

this year in the final year of his contract. however, bosa believes he is worth much more and is seeking a hefty raise that could be worth about $32 million a year. a teammate spoke about the holdout. >> when you had these opportunities, man, you got to do what's best for yourself and you know, your family and things like that. obviously having a guy like nick on the field with us is huge. i mean, he's the best defensive player in the national football league, one of the best players in the league. so having him here is a huge, huge benefit man. i think all 31 teams would agree with that. >> you know, we look at it, say you've been missing somebody, you just next man up and you just play ball. >> a guy like nick bosa that allows for a game changing plays and so we don't know how many of those game changing plays that we would make, but hopefully we can fill those in. if he's not here in his absence. it but a guy like nick, he adds to that once he's here, it'll be nice. >> the niners kick off at pittsburgh at 10 a.m. on sunday with or without bosa. their first game is thursday,

amount of mud covering almost everything at the festival. burners were told to conserve food and water all weekend until the gates could reopen. some hiked miles out of the festival grounds and hitched rides back to reno. others stuck it out and said it was an experience they'll remember for the rest of their lives. >> we left the bikes there. we didn't even take them back because of the mud. we couldn't get there. we couldn't get to take them back. so we have no bikes. >> this is probably with some of it cleaned off. it's definitely like clay out there. so it's an interesting texture. so tough to walk around, but we made the best of it. >> i mean, you can just see, look at the amount of mud they had to deal with all weekend long. people there were told to conserve food and water. festival goers say they helped each other out by making sure everyone was staying healthy. authorities are investigating a death at burning man. the victim is a 32 year old man, leon reese, who died friday. it is unclear if this was connected to the storms as the autopsy will
