more on that story in just a moment. but first, lisa is here with the weather. >> hey, good morning to you. we had our cooldown yesterday. that does continue. so, if you like, that fall feel, i think you're going to like the next couple of days. certainly the weekend there's a look at live doppler seven where there is a system to the north and west of us and that has set up a stronger onshore flow, a deeper marine layer. so we are cloudy to start out. temperatures are in the low 60s in oakland and hayward, a little muggy out there. it's certainly not cool. but as we look outside, you'll notice that it is dark out there and we'll see temperatures stay in the 60s through 9:00, noontime. we're in the 70s inland, elsewhere mid 60s to upper 60s. and by the afternoon low to mid 80s for our warmest inland valleys. it's a bit below average and we'll have those breezy winds as well. so we'll talk about the second half of the weekend and whether or not this cooling trend stays around for the last week of summer. coming up, stephanie. >> all right, lisa, thank you. well here at abc7 bay area, we are working to build a better bay area as a part of those

efforts. we want to highlight the festivals and events, bringing the community together . we've seen it with the bhangra and beats market, the carnival at civic center plaza and now one in the sunset. despite safety concerns, people are helping small businesses get back on their feet through these events. as abc7 news reporter tim johns tells us, the night market in the sunset might be the biggest one yet. >> food, shopping and music were all present in san francisco's sunset district friday for the first time ever, the neighborhood hosting an asian inspired night market. >> night markets bring people together. they make streets safer and they give a boost to small businesses. >> supervisor joel engardio is the man who brought the market to life. he says he got the idea after visiting similar night markets in taiwan on a normal friday night. the streets of the sunset can be pretty quiet, but as you can see, thanks to the new night market, they are very much alive. >> i love it. i've never seen anything. i grew up here in a sunset and this is the first i've ever seen a night market

happen. so it's really special. paula mak says she thinks events like this are exactly what the city needs to combat its struggling image, not just for local residents, but also for small businesses, many of whom said the market is a good opportunity for them to expand their customer base. >> i saw a lot of promotion for it online, but i think this is maybe something that san francisco is lacking right now after hosting a successful dreamforce convention earlier in the week, city officials say it's important to also remember local neighborhoods. >> this is really the locals. this is people who live in the avenues of san francisco. the various neighborhood groups and the business is that the local community supports and giving the seeming success of this trial run. >> engardio says he hopes to bring the night market back for more. we want to have night markets every month in the sunset. >> so this is where we're going to figure out what works, what doesn't. give us your feedback, and we're going to make them even better all next year in san francisco, tim johns, abc seven news. >> in the east bay now, the top

cop in san leandro is on leave. >> he's accused of violating department policy. the city says police chief abdul pridgen was placed on paid administrative leave this week. it did not state why, though. the city of san leandro says a third party firm will conduct a formal investigation. pridgen has been chief at san leandro for the past two years and was formerly the chief of police in seaside near monterey. three teenagers arrested for a shooting at skyline high school in oakland are now charged in connection with the case. that shooting happened on the campus in the oakland hills last week. no one was hurt. alameda county district attorney pamela price announced the charges in a recorded message friday. >> many people are concerned that we are not doing enough to hold young people accountable. we should all also be concerned that we are not doing enough to deflect young people from criminal activity. >> price says the gunfire at

skyline appears to have been an isolated incident. she did not say what charges the teens are facing. oakland is facing more criticism from the community after missing a deadline to apply for a state crime prevention grant. governor gavin newsom signed off on major funding this week. the money will go to 55 cities across california for efforts combating organized retail theft. san francisco will receive $17 million. business owners are disappointed after oakland was disqualified fillled because it had failed to submit its application by the deadline. chp says the city will likely still benefit from work in other bay area cities. >> we will be working together with all the allied agencies in the bay area and that will benefit the community of oakland. whether or not they were awarded or grant or not. we currently are doing organized retail crime efforts in the city of oakland and so that won't change. >> oakland officials say they will be looking at other grants to fight retail crime. the

you're attending the ed sheeran concert tonight. santa clara is turning into the concert mecca of the bay area. speaking of ed sheeran plays at levi's stadium tonight. and if the show sells out, it means roughly 70,000 people will be in attendance. that's more than taylor swift and beyonce. abc seven news south bay reporter justin dorsey has a look at what might be one of the biggest concerts yet. you know, levadopa is troc. >> the sounds of summer in santa clara have featured great music. top artists and plenty of screaming fans. take me out and take me home. this year, levi's stadium has hosted two of the highest grossing tours of all time with taylor swift and beyonce. but this weekend's ed sheeran mathematics tour may be the biggest one yet. >> you've got something that is going to draw an even bigger crowd than those other ones, right? we're talking about massively more people heading

for santa clara this weekend, something about the same size of the super bowl. the buzz was felt in oakland friday where sheeran made his first of two bay area stops at the historic fox theater. >> fans lined up hours in advance to see the british folk pop singer in an intimate setting. >> it's first come, first serve as far as seating. i want to be as close as i can because i love him. i love him as an artist. i love him as a human being. >> saturday and much bigger crowd will be on hand. taylor swift packed 58,000 swifties into levi's. beyonce totaled 50,000in the beehive. sheeran show is sold out as well, but bay area news group music critic jim harrington says sheeran stage setup will help his show. peak 70,000 fans with beyonce and taylor. >> you were looking at massive stage set ups that blocked a huge portion of the seats. on the other hand, you've got ed sheeran who's doing in the

round, so you can absolutely sell 360. >> and that benefit not only means sheeran will outsell swift and beyonce, but he may break the levi's concert attendance record set at the 2015 grateful dead concert with 76,000 fans and the all time crowd at levi's for wrestlemania at 77,000. records aside, 58,000 plus 50,000 plus 70,000 equals one. incredible summer at levi's stadium. and for south bay music fans, i think that all three of these these levi's tours that we're seeing through here this year. >> beyonce, taylor and ed, i think those will probably end up as the top three tours of all time in santa clara. >> dustin dawsey, abc seven news. >> lots of excitement. speaking of the star, ed sheeran is looking for his next director. and it could be you. he made the announcement on instagram saying he wants 14 directors for 14 different music videos from 14 different countries and he wants to pick them from his fans. the deadline is today. he says you don't have to be a professional, but you do have to be creative.

>> little legs. yeah very cute. >> so cute. i don't think i'd like if anyone said that about my dog, but he's cute. >> your dog's cute too. good morning, everybody. we are starting out a pretty mild this morning. we will change that up and it will be a little bit cooler this afternoon. we started that cooling trend yesterday. here's a look at live doppler seven, the sun coming up at 652 and it sets at 716. and looking at numbers just a few in the 80s yesterday, all because of a system that is cut off from the main flow of the jet stream. there off the coast. and it's not really going to go anywhere for the next several days. so that's going to keep what we call the stratus quo intact. here you can see the low clouds, the fog all the way down the peninsula into the east bay. it is clear over by the delta. but those southwest winds gusting to 32 miles an hour. it is 61 downtown. so, yeah, it feels kind of muggy out there as well as novato, 57, up in santa rosa . and you can see all the 60s out into the east bay. here's a

look at our roof camera. cloudy skies right now. you may need your wipers. i had them on this morning. certainly mist and drizzle for the past couple of hours and with the low clouds and fog lingering at the coast, is it going to take some time to get into the sun? but once we do , it will be breezy. temperatures below average, more 60s and 70s than 80s today. there'll be a few inland, but that is below average for mid september. in this pattern. looking to persist into this last week of summer, which will be a quiet one until perhaps we get to the end of the workweek. here's a look at all the cloud cover this morning. looks like it kind of fans out by the delta, but it is clear out in fairfield and eventually that cloud deck eroding closer to us. but notice at 1230, we are still pretty gray there in the north bay, also along the peninsula. and then eventually we get a little bit of sun. but you can see by 5:00, the fog really hasn't moved too much along the shoreline. and it comes quickly back in for a repeat performance into your sunday. so as long as that low is offshore, it's going

to continue to pump in the good air quality. the taller than normal marine layer. and then the breezy afternoon. so you can see some of the high clouds coming up into your sunday afternoon. but still not looking for a whole lot of change for the second half of the weekend. so if you've been liking this weather, you will like the next several days, you can notice on sunday, look at how the things, the colors don't change. so we're in the 60s and 70s by the bay, about 80 inland. very little change. monday into tuesday we continue to this pattern highs today from the upper 60s downtown 70 in oakland. look for 75 in fremont and you head inland. we've got those lower 80s in the warmest inland valleys and you have to go pretty far out there in antioch. so the accuweather seven day forecast featuring one of the milder days today because it'll even be more of a fall like feeling into your sunday looking at the pattern holding into monday and tuesday and then by the end of the week we could get a little bump up in our temperatures. but there's also another forecast model that is

advertising maybe some showers into the end of next weekend. okay >> so that would be fall like that would be fall like. you know, i always think of fall when the pumpkin spice lattes. >> come on you know couple of weeks ago. >> right. that's right. >> yeah. >> it starts to trickle in. it feels like fall. thanks lisa. well, coming up on abc seven morning, saving a beloved studio . how an employee is trying to keep george lucas facility in san rafael before it's demolished

huge moment for ecological restoration and bringing back a pretty awesome species to the bay. >> beavers offer a slew of benefits to other animals and humans. >> so beaver ponds and the wetlands that they build are hotspots of biodiversity. they're uniquely resistant to droughts and to wildfires, and they can help take the power out of flood waves so that when we have these big atmospheric rivers and other kinds of storm events, it's not so destructive downstream. >> since beavers travel up streams. dr. rick lanman has an idea of where they could head next. >> san francisquito creek is unique in the south bay because it's not concrete. it's natural . so it could provide a corridor for beaver to get from this bay lands to the uplands, which is where we need them to get to, to fight fires for us. right? last year, bill leikam said his trail cameras captured a pair of beavers. >> while there's no confirmation they produced offspring, the video of the young beaver is offering researchers hope for their future.

>> it's exciting. >> it's part of the reason why i do all this. this animal has been here before, but it's been so long and it's finally back. >> it's not that they're moving into california or moving into the bay for the first time, like the beavers coming home in the south bay. >> lauren martinez, abc7 news. developing news. hurricane lee is now downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone after making landfall along the east coast. according to the national hurricane service, lee is still creating hurricane force winds. lee was a category one hurricane earlier this morning. local officials now say people can expect high winds, lots of rain , power outages and possible flooding over the weekend. weather here at home now. let's check in with lisa. good morning. >> good morning to you, stephanie. we are looking outside at a dark morning there. another hour or so until sunrise . and when we do see the sun, it's going to be later on this morning or early afternoon. so the clouds are going to linger at the coast. the cooling trend continues. news and we're going

tape. logan webb electric. for most of the game, ex giant kris bryant gets struck out there. webb goes eight innings. stop me if you heard this before. he gets no run support one one game in the ninth. somehow the giants, they hadn't gotten a hit until j.d. davis doubled to lead off the ninth. and that led to this. later in the inning, bases loaded, two outs. wilmer flores a walk forces in a run the giants take a21 lead somehow bottom nine two on for the rocks elias montero with a base hit to left off a camilo duvall who blew his eighth save. mike yastrzemski with a throw throws on line but caroms off charlie blackmon duvall in the wrong spot to back it up so two runs score on the play. nolan jones all the way from first that's your ball game everybody. rockies win three, two. good night game over. drive home safely giants a game back for the last wild card berth padres and a's rickey henderson still looks like he could play a long time a's skipper bob melvin back in oakland for the first time. padres i don't know what's up with it. they've underachieved all year, but not here. fernando tatis jr with his 25th as the padres, built a five two lead. speaking of guys hitting their

25th, brant rooker, the rookie smoked that ball got the a's to within five three but frustration rising for the athletics ryan noda there oh i want to have a word with you right now. oh you're tossed a's lose eight 340 niners have won eight of their last nine against the rams the nfc title game a couple of years ago being the painful outlier but they meet again tomorrow in la. you know the niners. they love to impose their will on opponents with a relentless running game led by christian mccaffrey, who had 152 yards and a touchdown in the season opening win over pittsburgh. mccaffrey knows his success is directly tied to how effective his teammates block the thing i love about this team is the run game is a commitment of all 11 guys out there, and that's what makes it so special is, you know, one guy has the ball, but there's so much that has to happen in order to make it work. >> not a lot of receivers in this league do it, but we take full responsibility like bringing our guys free and just something we harp on every week. >> if everybody has the same mindset of just that physical

mentality and i'm going to give it all every single play, that run game looks really pretty. >> hey, if you're going to call out deion sanders, well, maybe just don't. colorado state plays dion's buffaloes this week, rams coach jay norvell criticized deion, saying you should take off your hat and sunglasses when you're talking to adults, addressing the media. what does dion do? of course, he provides his whole team with this new line of sunglasses. and the kids loved it. the buffs are going to beat the rams by like a thousand in this game. all right. that's a wrap on morning sports. have a great weekend, everybody. i'm larry beil. >> all right, thanks, larry. well, to weather now. let's check in with lisa. good morning. >> good morning, stephanie. a lot of cloud cover, all due to a system offshore here that is really stationary and it's going to stay offshore for the next several days, starting a quiet week with a quiet weekend. of course. can't rush through the weekend. lots of fog along the coast. it has moved locally inland. and as a result, visibility not too bad, but it

is certainly gray. we're looking at san francisco with the clouds over into the east bay. really everyone except out towards the delta where those winds are gusting to 32 miles an hour. this is lee, which is just hanging on to its hurricane status. but it continues to move up quickly out of the north at 25 miles an hour into canada, bringing some very gusty winds, coastal flooding and a little bit of rain to new england. but by the time we get to your sunday, it's sunny, more rain on the way for new england, though, on monday. otherwise as this one finally making landfall in canada later on today. so we can say goodbye to lee. and there is one right behind it that will be tracking. i think it's nigel, 63, in oakland, 64 in hayward right now. so a little bit muggy out there. temperatures a few degrees warmer as we look outside gray sky and that sun not coming up until a little bit before your 7:00. so widespread low clouds, some patchy drizzle you may need to use your wipers keep that in mind or just wait a

little while. the sun is going to take its time coming out in parts of the bay area. of course, in our east bay much sooner than closer to the shoreline. we'll be left with breezy winds, good air quality, but temperatures below where they should be for mid september last week of summer fall arrives 1149 friday night. the pattern persists into early next week, but by the time we get to friday , one system could bring in a little bit of rain shower activity. another system wants to warm us up. there's a look at the cloud cover reaching all the way into our inland east bay and look how slow it is to erode. here we are at 1230. notice much of marin county and the peninsula still socked in with the clouds and we get to about one, 2:00, plenty of sun and then by 4 or 5:00 the fog is already pushing back in. here's your sunday. and notice as the fog pulls back, we'll have a few high clouds come into the picture. certainly in the south bay, maybe in the east bay, but still it'll be a nice afternoon with very little change from

your saturday to your sunday. so temperatures a few degrees shy of average upper 70s in san jose. look for mid 70 s around the bay here though, those breezy winds allowing for numbers to be mainly in the low 70s from palo alto, 77 in redwood city downtown few degrees shy of average. we should be about 70. this is our warmest time of year in the city in september. but we will certainly have the win today to contend with. partly cloudy skies and up in the north bay, look for upper 70s in santa rosa. really quite nice here for wine country. could be a lot hotter and on the east bay a little cloudy to start out partly cloudy throughout the mid day then sunny in the afternoon. we're looking at 75 in san leandro as well as union city inland, just some low 80s. so very similar to yesterday in the accuweather seven day forecast. looking at few degrees of temperatures dropping for your sunday. keeping it there on monday and tuesday. very little change. and then by the middle to the end of the week looks like we could mix up the pattern

a little bit. so stay tuned. whether or not you're getting the shorts out or maybe an umbrella, not quite sure. >> seriously, quite a mix here, but below average overall. i'm thinking of those 70,000 attendees to the ed sheeran concert tonight compared to beyonce. >> right? right. was 100, right? >> yeah. so overall, it's going to be just cooler. >> it'll be good. yeah, for sure. always hot down there anyway. >> yeah. yeah. thanks lisa. well, a reminder that you can watch all our newscasts live and on demand through the abc7 bay area connected app. it's available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv and roku. you can download the app now and start streaming. well, coming up next, it may be the most unique airbnb you'll ever see how you can stay the night in a world war two era plane.
