through tomorrow. we're looking at moderate to poor air quality on sunday. good air quality as the wind, the onshore winds pick up. this is part of the problem right now. the breeze isn't that strong. 19 miles an hour in san francisco. so you need something to mix out the atmosphere. we don't have it right now. so right now we are looking at moderate to poor air quality across the bay area. there are a few spots in the north bay that are in the green, which is good smoke forecast is showing you the lingering smoke really through tonight and going into tomorrow, another little batch of smoke comes through. but as we head toward sunday, we are anticipating that that smoke becomes less concentrated and the air quality improves. we have even more news about weather changes ahead as we head towards fall. i'll be back with those details coming right up. larry, kristen, sandy, thank you. >> now to abc7 news reporter answer hassan live in danville where a homecoming parade went on despite the bad air. >> answer.

>> yeah, that homecoming parade just ended about 30 minutes ago. the school district says it's monitoring air quality. there's still a bit of haze in the higher elevations but no smell of smoke, which is a big change from just a few days ago. san ramon valley high school parade through downtown danville is an annual homecoming tradition. we always have the big rally and the big parade downtown where, you know, the floats go through and the various town dignitaries. >> so it's a lot of fun, proud parents and excited players didn't seem to be too concerned with the weather. >> the school district says they're monitoring air quality and cleared the teams to play well. there's nice any concern with the smoke that we had? >> no, we've we've been okay all week and all signs seem to point towards the same direction right now despite the excitement on the ground, there's still some lingering haze around mt. diablo and the valley below. >> when you've got a complex of fires burning as we do right now in northern california and southern oregon, somebody

somewhere is going to be downstream and getting a lot of smoke and right now, we're the unlucky ones. professor alison bridgers with the department of meteorology and climate science at san jose state university. >> she says haze from wildfires is not uncommon this time of year. she adds that the air quality has improved over the past week but recommends even if you don't smell smoke, it's still important to take precautions. >> the smoke is a collection of tiny particles and those can get into your lungs and in the right concentration on the wrong day at the wrong time. they could potentially do some damage. >> i guess, until you smell something or notice it, you don't really think about it. >> keep on rashidi and gabriel carver have been hiking almost every morning and seem unfazed by the haze. >> besides the visibility, it felt pretty good today. >> okay. better than the past few days, relatively. >> i've been hiking almost every day with the weather. i can't really tell a difference a

little bit of like maybe it seems a little bit harder. but besides that, all good. >> professor bridger says strong winds in oregon will likely move the smoke north. so we should be clear by sunday. as for the san ramon valley high school football team, they're off to a strong four and oh start. they take on liberty high at 7 p.m. reporting live in danville on sam houston, abc seven news hunts are unfazed by the haze like it. >> good line thank you. you can monitor air quality all in our online interactive tracker. check it out at abc sen news.com. in fact we actually put it on the home page just to make it easy for you to find. and you can do that right now. >> you know, aqi numbers are not the only thing that's up. larry pg aa e rates are as well. yeah last week the cpuc released two rate proposals for the utility p-g-and-e's is asking for rate increases to boost its revenue by 26. >> but those proposals would only increase their revenue by 13. listen to this customer bills would be 24 to $28 higher

every every month a decision on this will be made in november. >> abc seven news reporter suzannephan is live in the newsroom with a closer look at what the rate hike would mean for you suzanne. >> so chris and larry, 28 bucks a month doesn't sound that bad for some, but you're looking at potentially hundreds of dollars a year. we've got a lot of mixed reactions about theroposed power bill increases these are the power lines mary flat sees by her home in sonoma. she's among the 16 million p-g-and-e's customers expecting to see an increase in their power. >> bill soon received a email notice from p-g-and-e's saying our rates were going to go up to be prepared. the reason given for this was that they are putting in underground and power lines. >> flett says she lives in a fire area and that putting the lines underground makes sense. she says the rate increases though don't. the cpuc proposal is to increase rates by 9% or 13. the initial p-g-and-e's rate increase proposal was 26. this

is absurd. >> and basically my frustration at not being able to impact or have any say in address passing this egregious increase. >> yes, we certainly understand our customers concerns about affordability and bills. >> p-g-and-e's says the rate increases are necessary to put 2100 miles of power lines underground, but that the cpuc plan isn't enough. >> we think that they fall short of the funding that we need necessary to continue making the really important wildfire safety enhancements that we've been making. >> the utility reform network, aka turn advocates on behalf of ratepayers pg wants to put most of its many of its power lines underground that is far too expensive an approach for wildfire safety. >> the much better approach is to insulate the power lines, which is a faster and cheaper way, p-g-and-e's explains why undergrounding is a better option to reducing wildfire risks. >> when you put those lines underground, it reduces the need

to do things like tree trimming and maintenance around those lines, and it also far increases reliable safety. it reduces it in some cases, eliminates the need for safety shut offs. >> talking to residents in san francisco, we heard mixed reactions to me, i think it's a bad idea. >> i think it's a bad idea. it costs a lot of money for the city. >> i always hate to have anything go up, but i think we need those cables underground today. state senator scott wiener released this statement, quote, this rate increase places an absurd burden on californians pocketbooks to pay for updates. >> p-g-and-e's should have performed decades ago. once again, p-g-and-e's is saddling its ratepayers with the consequences of its failure to plan and budget effectively again, the california public utilities commission will vote on november 2nd on whether to let p-g-and-e's raise rates by 9% or 13. the utility reform network says concerned ratepayers can express their concerns online by going to the cpuc website. live in the newsroom. suzannephan abc7 news.

>> well, p-g-and-e's has had a series of rate hikes over the past several years. from 2018 to 2023. the average monthly bill increased nearly 42. now last year there were two rate hikes totaling 18.4% and already this year there's been an 8% hike. >> new details now on yesterday's fatal shooting inside a toyota service center in albany. investigators now say the initial shooting and the police shootout that followed were the result of domestic violence. the initial shooting happened around 11 a.m. when a man with a gun entered the service center, then shot and killed a woman who worked there. police found the man on the second floor where multiple officers shot and killed him. they've not released the names of the victim or the suspect, and there is no information about their relationship. today a federal court judge struck down california's law prohibiting gun owners from having detachable magazines holding more than ten rounds. judge roger benitez ruled that the law was unconstitutional, writing, quote, there have been

oakland was named obviously got its name because of all the oak trees. right. and only 20% of that city is covered with trees. that's it. san francisco has less. so when we talk about building a better bay area, improving the environment has to be part of that goal. now san francisco and oakland received some promising news from the federal government. both cities will receive millions of dollars to plant trees on streets that have been mostly bare. san francisco has long carried a reputation for being conscious, anxious about the environment, yet ironically, there are parts of the city that look more like a concrete jungle barren of trees than an urban oasis. so the temperatures in those neighborhoods that don't have trees or green space can be much higher. >> ten degrees or more higher than other parts of the city. >> the city's rapid growth is partly to blame. in 1848, there were about 1000 residents because of the gold rush of 49. the population grew to 25,000. by 1859, ten years

later, san francisco's population soared to 80,000. back then, there was so much focus on expansion in on building housing that they really didn't carve out enough space for sidewalks. therefore, there is limited room for street trees. a lot of our buildings are built right to the sidewalk and so there's not room for a tree to grow large and for a canopy to expand. as a result, san francisco has one of the smallest urban tree canopies among big cities, just 13.7, measured by the amount of land covered by trees. when viewed from above, the national average is just over 27. and while some neighborhoods have tree lined streets that beautify the area, the city's tree canopy is inequitably distributed with underserved communities lagging behind. a map created from state data by the abc7 news data team shows in light yellow. which areas are in most need of trees

for example the tenderloin and south of market neighborhoods. but don't get confused. most san franciscans love their trees and in 2016 voter approved a measure that sets aside $19 million a year from the general fund to care and maintain street trees. but not necessarily to plant new ones. that's about to change after san francisco was awarded $12 million from the federal government to plant thousands of new street trees. >> so with this grant we have for the next five years, we're going to be able to double the amount of money we use for planting trees in san francisco. we're always looking for sustainable funding sources. this kind of gives us a head start and momentum. >> the larger goal of our urban forest plan is to plant to get to 155,000 street trees. we currently have 125,000 street trees, so we need to plant 30,000 new trees by 2040 as our goal public works is now calling this proposed expansion of the canopy the bloom loop to counter

the national narrative that the city by the bay is at risk of being in that doom loop. >> we keep hearing so much about the recreation and parks department will also receive another $2 million grant to plant trees in parks located in the southeastern part of the city. >> another part of the component of the grant that recreation and parks is getting is going towards workforce development. so that means cultivating and creating a workforce within the southern eastern neighborhoods to help with maintaining the trees. >> san francisco isn't alone in getting new trees. the yellow areas on the map show that many parts in oakland are barren of trees, as oakland was also awarded 8 million to increase its tree canopy on public and private land and to deal with deferred maintenance. as back in san francisco, this will be the city's nursery hub already under construction. from here, many of the new street trees will be planted in those neighborhoods that for years have been crying out for help, like the tenderloin in the south of

market area and the bayview hunters point district. but even if you don't live in one of those neighborhoods, you can still request that a tree be planted on your street. at one of the things that i heard from people when i told them that i was doing this story was is, you know, can i have a tree in front of my house? and that's the question that i want to ask you. can anybody call you and say, i want a tree? >> yeah, that's exactly the question we want to hear because we want people to want trees to love trees and we can help them plant trees if there's a space where they can do it, we'll send an inspector out to see if this is a good location, an if it's not something that you can do right in front of your home or business, then you can maybe work with a neighborhood group to see if there are other areas where you can plant trees. >> so let's be clear in those three underserved neighborhoods that i mentioned, they are going to plant trees. whether people request them or not. but if you live outside of those neighborhoods and want a tree, you will need a permit from public works. but the permits get this are free. now typically, nonprofits like

friends of the urban forest will also plant trees and they will take care of those trees for the first three years. again for free. now, even if you rent a property, say, an apartment or a home in san francisco, you can also ask for a tree. you don't need the permission from your landlord because guess what? the city owns the sidewalks. >> wow, that makes sense. >> did not know that. and you should just jump on it because it takes a few years for it to pay dividends. yeah, that's right. >> and we need it. you need more trees, that's for sure. >> all right. thanks liane. >> sure. so you know the old line, you can't see the forest for the trees, right now. you can barely see the trees because of the haze out there. that just won't go away. >> i can barely see my fingers in front of me to see when conditions will get better. i think the smoke is just overstayed its welcome. that's what i would say, larry and kristin, it will get better late tomorrow night and by sunday everyone will be breathing a little easier. let me show you a live picture from our south beach camera. and yes, that

smoke and haze, you can see just kind of making for a little bit of a murky view. visibility has been impacted by this livermore concord, seven miles right now, eight miles in santa rosa. hayward six mile visibility. so you understand why as we look at live doppler seven, the low clouds that we had earlier this morning have pulled away. they'll fill back in, but not immediately. one of the things that's going on is this area of low pressure that is over the northern rockies will continue there. but the flow around that is coming out of the northwest. those fires burning in oregon and northwestern california. that smoke is getting just pulled into our area, southern california, by the way, is seeing some showers. blues skies right now from our golden gate bridge camera. we'll be seeing more scenes like this as we head towards sunday. okay san francisco, 65 degrees. oakland, you're at 69 right now. low 70s from palo alto to mountain view, 76 degrees in san jose. really a comfortable last day of summer. oakland airport camera. we are seeing bright view there. 73 degrees in santa rosa, 72 in napa, 82 degrees in fairfield,

michaels during last night's 49 ers game. you ever notice we come here and all of our aerials are from 44 miles away? >> i mean, san francisco, it's beautiful. we got so many scenic now, we'd like to bring in aerials from nearby here, but what are we supposed to do? the salt evaporator flats. san jose airport. i'll hear from that. >> yeah. wow. you're going to hear from that. i didn't know there were salt evaporator flats, but now i want to go check them out. remember al lived in the bay area for years. he was the giants announcer back in the 70s and he is a beloved icon for me. so you know what, al? 78 years old, you say whatever you want. al michaels. but just to spin it forward rather than bashing al, the question would be, all right, so, michael, what are we photograph if we want to show the santa clara area? is it santana row? i mean, give me

give me, give me something. give me any place. >> 101. look, i like the fact that he pointed out it was 44 miles away. yeah because i never say that. and i always want. do people ever show up here for the game and think they stay at a nearby hotel and think they're in the city? so but there's very beautiful areas down there. come on. the whole bay, the hills sides are gorgeous. place >> definitely. there are beautiful areas, but they're not the bam type that lend themselves to tv as much. and especially at night. the nature, michael, you point out, is certainly gorgeous. yes. but yeah, i don't know. i guess it would be nice if the area had some architectural, you know, masterpiece or highlight some landmark, some landmark. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. the 101. there we are. >> oh, come on. all right. now two more on the robot revolution. robots are learning practical skills using artificial intelligence. toyota research institute program robots for pick and place tasks , rearranging simple sets of objects s like that. this new

breakthrough allows the machines to do things like pour liquids and peel vegetables, all without programing. >> the guy, the guy is making it move. >> the guy is controlling the arms of the larry. >> any time you program a robot, it takes a human to at first interface with it and program and use the joystick and control it. but then you know, it does its own thing. it learns. >> yeah, well, by the time he's done with that omelet, it's going to be a week from now. whatever he's making there, this is going to be the slowest pancake in history. >> well, but this is just the start. i mean, just imagine how helpful this will be if you didn't have to do all your chores. come on. thank you. see, sandy and i are looking at the long run, right? >> yeah. no, it's fine. >> i'm imagining this robot in larry's kitchen making a peanut butter sandwich. let's go. go. robot come and take your batteries out. if you don't pick it up, let him clean something. >> i'll handle my peanut butter

and jelly, if you don't mind. oh, clean up the garage. anyway, most americans are concerned about the progress of artificial intelligence. a new major harris poll found that 39, just 39, believe that ai is actually safe. 54% say they're more worried about the risks of ai than they're excited about the possible benefits. not surprisingly, only younger people are more supportive than those over 40. so outside of the peanut butter making ai, i'm not too worried about him, but i think the danger from my perspective is if you get this stuff in the wrong hands, you can create a lot of negative impacts, especially with social media. now michael, do you have any thoughts on that? yeah >> well, you know, through ai right now, there are you know, how they they go search on the internet and then they take the information and they put it in and your brand new writing authors are now suing them because they're finding their

character showing up in other people's writings. so there's already issues to be dealt with. >> yeah, we need some guardrails , it seems. kristen yeah, you yeah. >> i mean, the problem is the policy makers aren't the people who truly understand the technology, right? so it's kind of hard to come up with a framework when they don't really get it, you know? sandia yeah, that makes sense. >> totally makes sense. kristen yeah, we need smarter people making better decisions and that could be a global thing that would probably be beneficial. >> yeah, exactly. >> okay. we're still more than a month away from halloween, but beverly hills is already putting a stop to some of the fun. anyone under the age of 21 cannot use silly string shaving cream and hair removal products on halloween day. oh, that makes sense. let only the older people use it. the ordinance prohibiting prank objects was approved this week by the beverly hills city council. so sandy, you're fine. you can use all that stuff and prank however you like. i'll remember that. >> let me see if i can pull one

of those pranks off here. >> no kidding. i i'm curious. >> maybe i'm missing something on halloween or have missed it for years. how do you use hair removal products on halloween? what is the connection? >> i don't i don't understand that. what michael, give me. >> i am not explaining this. >> oh, so he gets it. >> so you understand that. but you can't say it. >> no. you know what? it really is? it's been used as a way to hurt other people. you go rub it on their head and in their hair. >> oh, my gosh, that's terrible. >> so that's not pranking. that's terrible meanness. i don't know how silly string got into that category, though. no that's. >> that's more like harmless fun. well yeah, yeah. >> silly string is harmless fun . what you're talking about is like assault. >> no, technically. >> all right, i never heard of that. >> but who knew beverly hills became a bastion of halloween pranks, though? yeah i didn't know that. >> i don't know. >> i don't know. rodeo drive. we'll see what's happening there. halloween night, we'll head on down. scary. head on down. just don't let anybody touch my hair. i know now i'm

scared, larry. >> i'll be wearing a helmet on halloween. exactly >> holding his peanut butter sandwich made by robots. >> you guys all right? >> that's it for the ford keep... coming... back... inflammation might be to blame. over the counter eye drops can provide temporary relief. xiidra... can provide lasting relief. it targets inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. xiidra treats the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. don't use if allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied, and unusual taste sensation. why wait? ask your doctor about a 90-day prescription and pay as little as $0. xiidra. oof!
