kind of see the rotation or the orbit. if you missed out the next total solar eclipse will happen again in the americas in 2046. >> so you will be waiting a while. certainly a neat spectacle to see. lisa i remember covering the total solar eclipse back in august of 2017. i was in colorado at the time at that elementary school i was telling you about. it was so cute. the kids had their glasses on and some of the teachers were actually taping the glasses to their face so they wouldn't take them off. >> well, it was especially tricky yesterday because it was cloudy. >> so you were like, oh, you weren't prepared with the glasses thinking you weren't going to see it. and if you did glance at it and saw it, you were like, wow, it is out there. but very dangerous. yes, you need the gear for sure. but it was visible in many locations around the bay area. what a sight. i thought it was exciting. and as we look at live doppler seven, another exciting feature may be a cold front that wants to enter into california, but unfortunately it's not going to make it further south in extreme northern sonoma county. so that's for tomorrow. as for

be thursday where san francisco will be in the 80s highs today, though, low 70s downtown. the fog is going to scatter out and we'll look for the low 80s in san jose, 79in santa rosa. the accuweather seven day forecast. so today a bit of a warm up. tomorrow a lot of clouds kind of muggy out there. wants to rain but it won't and then by tuesday and wednesday a look at some nice days but getting pretty warm again. thursday and friday. so it's going to be a stretch again of some warm weather, certainly not fall weather, right? >> no, thank you, lisa. >> well, still to come out standing but maybe overlooked at a high school grad with more than a perfect gpa and test scores gets reject from over a dozen universities. but get this, he lands a job at google and his story. you'll only see on seven why college admission. experts say they're not surprised. >> big stop. feeling lucky.

students navigate it. we really want to push for transparency. we should be able to, you know, if we get rejected, be able to look at, you know, these are the reasons why and we shouldn't have to just kind of blindly guess in the dark about a black box process. >> zhang's case is an unusual one. education experts say there are options for students to get ahead. a community colleges are a big help, and students should definitely consider california community colleges, especially their stem major. >> why many universities are impacted, meaning that they're getting a lot more applicants than they have spots to serve. so this is a great way to start. and students have a better probability of getting to this university of choice by coming through the community colleges than straight out of high school . >> well, best of luck to stanley. that was suzanne phan reporting. still to come on abc seven mornings, we talk to a bay area woman who is trying to get home from israel amid the war. we'll be right back after this break. >> your dirty vents may be

>> welcome back. we are celebrating hispanic and latin american heritage month here at abc7 and this morning we're shining a spotlight on internationally renowned opera tenor arturo chacon-cruz. abc7 news reporter gloria rodriguez shares more about his musical journey. my he can bring you to tears with his italian arias, but tenor arturo chacon-cruz started his musical journey by singing popular spanish mariachi songs like these corrido. >> many of the mexican singers starred in the san francisco opera's production of il trovatore this season, and he gave me a backstage tour of the famed war memorial opera house. >> human voice without microphones in mind. >> while opera and mariachi may seem worlds apart, chacon-cruz

says the genres are similar. for example, you don't use microphones for either, and that means you must project your voice. >> mariachi is almost like opera. i say almost because we tell the stories in a very, very short period of time. we tell a whole story in one song and sometimes times the songs will connect. mariachi has the life, has the joy, has the incredible expression through the voice and the music behind you. >> loooooong cruz has performed in 30 countries at the most prestigious opera houses around the world, but san francisco holds a special place in his heart. this opera house is 90 years old. arturo made his debut here in 2012. he says it's a homecoming for him. >> they were doing this opera il trovatore, 20 years ago, and i said to my wife, then fiancée, wouldn't that be awesome if i can sing that here one day and

20 years to the day, it's happening. so it's a dream maker as well. >> chacon cruz is helping younger artists achieve their dreams, like moisés salazar, his understudy. >> i think my favorite thing about him is that he is such a nice guy. and that's kind of, you know, that's one thing. you always hope that when you meet your idols, they're nice people and was very nice. and he's also very knowledgeable. >> maestro placido domingo gave me lessons and scholarships. i studied with the greatest of the greatest and i feel like i didn't deserve it at the time. i was so young, i hadn't done anything. so i feel like life has given me an opportunity to give back some of those blessings. >> he was one of the first tenors that i, i heard was like a mexican tenor, you know, and being mexican myself, it was very inspiring, encouraging, singing, seeing a mexican tenor, salazar also started his career in mariachi music, then transitioned to opera. opera puts this illusion sometimes

that it's inaccessible to everybody. and so i grew up in southern california in a ghetto and part of town, and you just kind of like it just seems really far away. and so when i realized i could sing it, i was like, oh, i can do this. >> chacon cruz says being a mexican singer in the opera world hasn't been easy. >> i was urged by an early agent to change my name to something italian so i would be accepted more easily into the into the opera world, which i didn't think it would have been good for my, my, my soul. so i said no. and i kept i kept my name and i kept my culture and i kept who i am. when he first came to the us, more than 20 years ago, chacon cruz says he felt the need to hide who he was until until i discovered that my superpower was indeed my uniqueness. once i started being who i was, that's when i started

noticing big developments in my career, in my personal life, in my connection with friends. >> he emphasized, uses that to youth, their superpower. >> where is your culture? >> he keeps sharing his superpower power and talent with audiences all over the world. in san francisco, gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. evasion >> wow. what an incredible talent. well, disney is celebrate its new animated film wish with a chance for you to enter to win a trip for four to walt disney world and the disney cruise to the bahamas for every entry into disney's wish together sweepstakes, disney will donate $5 to make a wish up to $1 million. our parent company, disney and make-a-wish, have been partnering to make life changing wishes come true for children with critical illnesses. for more than 40 years. you can find out more and enter at disney.com slash wish

in the quarter robinson started it and finishes it with a 19 yarder 3817 after three and another his fourth of the day and the spartans roll 5224 and fire up the grill in salt lake city. cal at number 16, utah, the utes have won 17 straight at home. first quarter were scoreless freshman fernando mendoza second straight start at quarterback get it to jayden not that's a good idea because there he goes 48 yards seven nothing cal mendoza fired up tied at seven just before the half direct snap to see enoki varkey who's also utah starting safety and he just drives his way into the end zone 14 to 7 utah at the break. cal try to keep it close but just too much. utah ten point game here in the fourth. it's varkey again. there he goes . he had 158 yards and two scores. utah rushes for a season high. 317 and the bears fall 34 to 14. they'll have a bye ahead of the october 28th home game against number ten. usc on the ice. seven of the sharks first eight games are against playoff

>> i'm still trying to prove to myself that, you know, i haven't reached my full potential yet. and so that's like that chip that i always, you know, have on my shoulder. >> and no matter what everyone else is saying, man, like, i know that there's another level that i can get to. and so that's where i'm trying to get. and, you know, taking it one day at a time, but never, you know, being comfortable with where i'm at. >> that is your look at sports. let's send it back to you, chris. >> and celebrations for the undefeated 49 ers, currently ranked number one in the nfc west are getting global today. the team is hosting their first ever official watch party in london. famous 40 niner alumni and team mascot sourdough sam will kick off the event in the heart of the city. faithful who attend can win raffle prizes and team memorabilia. this will be the team's third watch party in the uk. last season they hosted two parties in leeds, roughly three hours north of london. a pretty, pretty place to cheer on. purdy had to say elisa go

niners yeah, exactly. >> yeah. go niners is right. what a game last sunday. good morning, everybody. here's a look at a cold front that is being pushed to the north of us from a ridge of high pressure here that is trying to build in it will and we're going to see big results from that. but right now, looking at the fog still stuck in places in the north bay over the san pablo bay here and certainly along the bay shore in the east bay. so as we look at our visibility, boy, it has not improved. in fact, we're looking at things down to a quarter of a mile or a half of a mile. so we will be looking at improving conditions throughout the afternoon. but we'll see how long it takes with, i would say, between ten and 11:00 as we get towards the mid morning hours. so that's the good news. and we are looking at the current numbers with some sunshine, but not here. but the sea lions are back. look at pier 39. so that's

a fun sight. 59 downtown as well as oakland with 64 in mountain view. and as we look above the low cloud deck from vollmer peak, it is 56. santa rosa, 61 in napa with upper 50s in the sun in concord and livermore, 24 hour temperature change 2 to 5 degrees. cooler out there and overall, we're going to see a warmer day, mostly for everyone. santa cruz, nice and bright temperatures in the 60s now. so the dense fog for marin county down along the coast, san francisco, parts of the peninsula, half moon bay and pacifica will be gray throughout the day, unfortunately. and we will be sunnier and warmer away from the shoreline throughout the afternoon and much warmer tuesday through friday. so we have skipped monday. we'll get to monday in a moment. that's the only caveat. but our beach hazards statement has been issued today through 5:00. look at the wave heights, bodega bay, eight feet, seven feet around monterey bay. long period, northwesterly swell with the possibility of rip currents along the west to northwest, facing beaches. and here's a look at all the cloud cover this

morning. thinning out in the east bay and then across the bay for a sunny afternoon, except at the shoreline. then the clouds increase. a weak cold front on the way north in sonoma county could see a few sprinkles as this is for monday. and then our warming trend begins on tuesday as high pressure builds quickly. as for highs today in the 80s in our inland valleys, that's warmer than yesterday, a little warmer than average. we'll reverse that trend. but the cloud cover keeping us muggy through your monday and into tuesday and wednesday. look at that, warm up. the warmest day should be thursday. high temperatures then ranging from the low to mid 70s. san francisco and oakland, 76 on the peninsula, as well as palo alto, 80in vallejo and the accuweather seven day forecast 60s along the shoreline with the gray skies 70 around the bay mid 80s inland and with more clouds it won't be as warm tomorrow, but it's going to feel kind of muggy. temperatures climbing quickly for numbers anywhere from 10 to 14 degrees above average for
