news. it looked and it felt summer in the bay area today more so than fall whether you were in san francisco. >> the east bay or the south bay. it was a scorcher, but changes are on the way. good evening. i'm amardeep. >> and i'm dan ashley. thanks for joining us. we have a heat advisory today for much of the bay area as temperatures hit 90 degrees in some spots. >> that's right. we get our first look at the weather with meteorologist sandhya patel. >> sandhya yeah. and dan and ama temperatures soared into record territory today. let's take a look as to what you're seeing behind me. there's a nice breeze coming in. and here's a look at a live picture from pier 39. as you will notice, still blue skies record setting temperatures today. san jose, 93, sfo, 88. napa, 95. richmond 92. all breaking their previous records. now, when you take a look at a live picture from our oakland airport, cameras still clear. we had record lows this morning. lows 60s for these cities here. as we take a look

at some of the other high temperatures around the region, it was plenty hot around concord. livermore 92, 93 respectively, 92 in santa rosa as we take a look at the temperatures now, 50 and half moon bay. so with the sea breeze is kicking in 80s and 90s still elsewhere which is why that heat advisory remains up. if you're sensitive to the heat, take it easy out there. it's up until 11 p.m. today because it's enough to make you sick. still hot in some areas. high surf advisory until 7 p.m. tonight. large breakers, risk of rip currents. but the good news is on live doppler seven fog is around santa cruz and monterey on its way to cool us all off. and it all is going to start tomorrow with even bigger changes for the weekend. i'll be back with that coming up. dan? >> all right. anxious days here. busy. all right. thanks, sandy, very much tonight, for the first time, we're seeing police body cam video showing the moments leading up to a fatal officer involved shooting at the chinese consulate in san francisco. now, the suspect is believed to have deliberately crashed into the

building. abc seven news reporter justine lane is in the newsroom following the story. he spoke with a police chief about this earlier today. j.r >> dan, the man who was shot and killed by police, 31 year old san juan yang had a knife in his hand when he was shot. but officers say they were responding to reports that he was armed with a gun. this is video recorded by an officer's body camera security guards at the consulate had previously deployed pepper spray in his direction. you can see that was impacting yang at the time. he has one arm over his eyes. his other hand has a knife in it. yang can be seen waving it back and forth through the air and is eventually shot. we have stopped the video before that moment, but during a town hall meeting, i asked the chief if the department would review their policy, saying it appears as though yang can't see anything as he's waving the knife. this is the chief's response. we evaluate every case from a tactical perspective to see what we can learn from this to evolve and get better at.

>> if we ever have this incident again and this will be no exception. what i will say, though, in fairness, we don't really know what this person could see or not see. and we at that point, the officers remember the call was that the person had a gun and in fairness to the situation, an we don't know what he could or couldn't see. >> this is a look at the knife that yang was waving. officers say they also found a loaded crossbow in the back seat of his car. now as for why yang was there, police won't say witnesses have previously told me that he was asking for the ccp, which is short for the chinese communist party. tonight at 11, hear some of the initial calls that came in from people inside that consulate. dan alma, now back to you. all right, j.r, thank you so much. >> a shootout on san francisco's embarcadero sent crowds celebrating father's day, running for cover. now four months later, police say three

arrests have been made. but as abc7 news reporter liz pena reports, one of those suspects has a history with sfpd and even received a huge settlement from the city just last year. >> four months ago, father's day on san francisco's embarcadero turned into a gun battle ground. bystanders hid behind cars and ran for cover as passengers inside two moving vehicles shot at each other. >> people was screaming like it was shooting outside. >> so you closed the doors in the back of the store? yeah >> so close it to avoid, like, getting like those shooters inside. >> the sounds and images are still fresh for workers on pier 39 and 14 on where many hid as bullets rang out. >> it was scary because then, you know, you didn't know if they got caught. you didn't know if they were still here. dashcam video captured the moment a white vehicle struck a ten year old girl and a black suv. >> a 16 year old both survived. and today, san francisco police

chief bill scott announced a breakthrough in this case. >> we have arrested the people responsible on that night, sfpd detained the two suspects of the black suv, both shot during the incident. >> one of them was treated for life threatening injuries and later released pending investigation on wednesday of this week, exactly four months since the shooting, three suspects from the white vehicle were arrested. >> richard tobias, xavier pittman and a male juvenile arrest warrants were issued for all three of these individuals. richard tuiasosopo was already in custody at the time of this arrest. both xavier pittman and the juvenile were arrested yesterday morning. >> turns out pittman one $190,000 in a settlement with the city after he was shot and injured by an undercover police officer back in 2021. he even got an apology from chief scott.

>> i'm deeply sorry that mr. pittman was shot. >> i also asked san francisco police chief bill scott if all the suspects involved in the shooting have been arrested. he said the investigation is still ongoing in the newsroom. luz pena, abc seven news. >> now to the situation in the middle east. you heard president biden's address to the nation about 30 minutes ago. here are more new developments. governor newsom says he will travel to israel tomorrow ahead of his planned week long trip to china. a show of support for israel. newsom says, as a california will deliver medical supplies to the region, including to gaza. 14 people have died in israel and more than 3700 have died in gaza. the number of americans killed in the crisis stands at 32, with 11 others still unaccounted for. and tonight, israel says a ground invasion of gaza appears imminent. president biden says he will send two congress a request tomorrow for

$100 billion foreign aid package for both israel and ukraine. we're going to make sure iron dome continues to guard the skies over israel. >> we're going to make sure other hostile actors in the region know that israel is stronger than ever. and prevent this conflict from spreading. >> and the us state department issued a rare worldwide bulletin warning americans abroad to stay alert. that's because of increased tensions triggered by the war and the potential for terror attacks and protests around the globe. >> the abc7 news i-team is learning new details about the cyber war that's unfolding between israel and hamas. >> yeah, hacking groups, including one that's recently targeted the bay area, are now terrorizing innocent civilians. >> i-team reporter stephanie sierra joins us live tonight with what you've uncovered. >> steph, these hacks continue to get more and more sophisticated and an israeli based cyber security firm says hundreds of cyber attacks are infiltrating government and news agencies in the middle east, tampering with emergency alert systems to hacking devices inside people's homes to

terrorize them. we're told some of these groups doing this recently carried out cyber attacks right here in the bay area as the conflict between israel and hamas continues to escalate. there's a different type of battleground looming cyber warfare. gil messing is the chief of staff for check point software, a cybersecurity firm that's based in tel aviv. he says he's tracking more than 40 groups conducting attacks that disrupted more than 80 israeli websites for both government and news agencies. since the start of the war, some believed to be coordinated attacks directly with hamas. democratic congressman jim hines from connecticut is the ranking member on the house intelligence committee, who recently had a classified briefing on the matter. >> we did see cyber activity on the part of not just hamas actors, but but other sympathizers of hamas. it is painful even to say it, but

there objective here was to inflict the maximum number of casualties on innocent civilians . >> some of the groups that are targeting israel have a history targeting the us, california and even parts of the bay area, including two russian based groups called anonymous sudan and killnet that managed to hack into the systems at the oakland airport just six months ago. according to the company. these groups are trying to take down emergency websites and applications like israel's red alert app that warns civilians about incoming missiles being launched in their neighborhood. another instance is messing says hackers are working with hamas to terrorize digital billboards. we have seen in one day a very known billboard company here in israel with billboards in tel aviv, in the center of israel. >> they managed to hack the company and change the footage or the visual on the billboards and showed the horrific footage of people getting killed. the israeli flag on fire and from random threatening calls and text messages to haunting smart

home hacks affecting homeowners who control their appliances, lights and other devices through an internet connection. all of a sudden, the entire house is alive. so shades go up and down. if it's electrical shades of the windows, you can see the light going up and down. so like the house is haunted by something or someone. >> cyber analysts believe the hackers include kids as young as 16 years old, too sophisticated state sponsored governments conducting attacks from russia, indonesia, sudan, egypt, jordan, even some directly on the gaza strip. messing says one of those groups is named ghosts of palestine, leaking credentials of civilians using israeli government websites. >> people are amplifying information quite often misinformation or disinformation that is consistent with their point of view. and so there's a lot of people trying to wade through everything they see on social media to figure out what is true from hacks to data breaches.

>> one of the largest affecting a university where messing says hackers leaked 250,000 records of students and staff over the weekend, making a series of threats about the stolen data on messaging app telegram saying, quote, we got them all with a knife emoji. the threats have already evolved into phishing scams where hackers are even impersonating donation efforts. >> there are bad actors that look to take advantage of it, you know, via creating fake charities and fake donation sites, that sort of stuff, to try to do, you know, take advantage of the situation that's going on for their own monetary gain. >> to add to that, according to messing, the same coalition of hackers that shut down american airports a year ago also claim responsibility for attacking the websites of critical infrastructure in israel, including the israeli electric grid and the siren alert service. we've been telling you about. so these hacks are widespread. >> all right. thank you so much, stephanie. absolutely. >> well, a massive pro-palestinian demonstration taking place right now outside the federal building in san francisco. this is video from

sky seven about 30 minutes ago. the demonstrators began blocking entrances to the building earlier this afternoon. some locking their arms together. they're demanding an immediate end to us military aid to israel. some of them say they plan to stay there until speaker emerita. nancy pelosi, who's office is inside the building, signs on to an immediate cease fire in gaza. >> the council on american islamic relations is calling on state officials to support a resolution calling for a cease fire. they also want officials to address safety concerns among bay area palestinian and muslim communities. abc7 news south bay reporter zach fuentes has more. >> as the israel-hamas war continues to escalate, so many here in the bay area have ties to those directly impacted. several local leaders along with local palestinian and muslim community members with family caught in the conflict spoke out , gathered at the bay area office for the council on american islamic relations thursday. they called for support from california officials to humanize the palestinian people because in

these one sided responses, we continue to hear loud and clear that palestinian lives don't matter as much as israeli lives. also there to support the local palestinian and muslim community was a group called jewish voice for peace. >> there is no justification in internal national law for the targeting of civil aliens or the holding of civilian hostages, as that was true when hamas attacked israeli civilians, leaving at least 1400 dead or more wounded and millions traumatized. it is equally true when the israeli state holds a population in captive in gaza, sabri connecting it to massive aerial bombardments. >> collectively, the speakers at care thursday are calling on california officials to support what's called the cease fire now resolution. the suffix mandatory resolution was introduced by progressive democrats. the resolution has gotten pushback, including from other democrats, as seen here by congressman jim himes, who spoke about the resolution on cnn. i understand the instinct, but calling for a

cease fire is like calling for the united states to stand down and do a cease fire on september 12th, 2001. kerr says it finds any pushback to the resolution shocking. but along with concerns over the war in support for the resolution, the organization says it's also focusing on the safety of its community and calls on local leaders to do the same. >> it says we observe dangerous rhetoric that continues to dehumanize palestinians and muslims and which leads to a rise in anti-muslim incidents targeting students, employees and everyday muslims in their homes and on the street. everyone deserves to be safe. >> zach fuentes, abc, abc7 news. >> we've been through a lot, but the city by the bay always perseveres. >> there's a new campaign looking to build a better bay area by seeking to change the perception of san francisco. so you'll see who's behind it. >> today was supposed to be the great california shakeout, but there was a slight issue. we looked into why some people got

to fix the city's image around the world. >> abc seven news reporter leanne melendez is here with a look at their effort to help build a better bay area with a new pr push. >> right. you know, i don't think i've ever known san francisco to sell itself. right? right but now the city is getting a little help from influential people who care about the future of san francisco and the narrative that's out there. this is a $4 billion campaign aimed at telling everyone the city has an

exciting future ahead. >> but the city, by the bay always perseveres through grit, through innovation, through hope. it's all those things and more that have made san francisco known around the world and its native san franciscans like chris larson, who want to remind people of these qualities. >> he's the founder of ripple, the cryptocurrency company who, along with other business leaders, have stepped up to help fund this campaign. we can't just paper things over with a pr campaign. >> clearly, we got to fix things, but we also cannot take our eye off of the great brand that san francisco has always been known for. >> the ads were produced by the san francisco based company goodby, silverstein and partners . >> this isn't a tourism campaign. honestly this is this is a campaign designed for businesses, really, and local pride, obviously. but it's really designed to two and aimed

at getting business is to consider to reconnect editor san francisco as the preeminent completely unpack held place to grow a business. >> we remain resolute here here here and one of the reasons why i did the video was to convey to the public that whatever you're hearing about san francisco isn't even close to being true, that you really ought to come see it for yourself, as i do every day of my life. >> and now new challenges. >> but we won't be defined by them. >> so we're going to fix our problems. and but we are we're going to define our own narrative. we're not going to let miami or austin or fox news define who we are. >> larson is no stranger to media campaigns concerned about the city's public safety record. he donated $600,000 to the police officers union to encourage people to seek careers in the san francisco police

department. >> i'm just super optimistic. it's going to be i think next year is going to be great. so we're excited. >> it all starts here and the best is yet to come. >> and the other person involved in funding this campaign is bob fisher of the gap. this will also appear on social media sites, billboards, and they'll have signs for business owners and residents to hang in their windows. i think it's a big morale booster for us. i think it is. >> it looks great. it does. you just hope it helps. >> yeah, i think, you know, and it does you do feel a sense of pride when you watch all those things. remind us not only in san francisco, but the entire bay area. >> well, it's good to see them address what has become a pretty serious image problem here and around the country. and some of the problems are very serious. some may be exaggerated or whatever, but there is an image problem, correct. >> that needs to be fixed. okay. >> thanks, liane. >> okay, let's get to our weather. really hot today. >> oh, yeah. speaking of improving our image, just take a look at the beautiful sky outside. not to mention sandia

herself up on the roof of our building. >> oh, you're so kind. thank you. dan and alma. the site behind me is just stunning. and just call me the human thermometer. when i got up here this afternoon, it was very warm. right now, it is comfortable. the sea breeze is in and it is cooling. let's talk about your winter outlook. noah just issued this today out west, including the bay area. they're saying this winter we're expecting above average temperatures also includes the northern tier of states. now in terms of rainfall, you know, this is an el nino year. they are saying above average rainfall for the bay area and much of the southern tier states, parts of the west coast as well. so stay tuned as this is kind of looking way ahead to winter right now. we are looking at what's happening at this hour . and you will notice poor air quality from redwood city to fremont to san jose. it's in orange there. here's a hazy view from our emeryville camera looking at downtown oakland that spare the air remains up today because of the fact that we have

that poor air quality for parts of the bay area. it gets better by friday, but it's not completely improved until saturday when we are expecting a stronger sea breeze and good air quality fog is sitting right near monterey and santa cruz right now on live doppler seven. we're already starting to feel the effects of the sea breeze in parts of the bay area to seven degrees cooler right now in half moon bay. look at this beautiful view from our golden gate bridge camera. nothing but blue skies. 69 in san francisco right now. you're in the 70s in oakland mount view 81, 87. in san jose and it is 83 in palo alto. but chilling in half moon bay at 57 degrees. clear skies here in san francisco from our exploratorium camera that that'll look different come morning. upper 80s from santa rosa to napa to fairfield, 86 degrees right now in livermore. high pressure abroad as the heat today say it's all downhill from here. low pressure is pulling up that fog so that southerly surge will mean we will see fog overnight tonight going into tomorrow

morning. look at the stunning view from our san jose camera right now. relief from the heat arrives tomorrow. much cooler for the weekend. and we are looking at scattered showers between late saturday night and sunday. there comes the fog and the higher clouds tomorrow morning. so watch out. tomorrow it's going to be a little less in the way of clear skies because of the combination of the fog and the higher clouds just filtering the sun in your morning. temperatures will be in the mid 50s to the low 60s. watch out for that fog once again tomorrow afternoon. it's a cooler day. you get that relief, especially if you don't have air conditioning. only mid 80s for the warmest inland valleys compared to the 90s today, mid 60s coast side. and here's a look at that accuweather seven day forecast temperatures sliding they're going this way all the way through the weekend from the 80s tomorrow to the 70s for the warmest spots. saturday sunday scattered showers with a level one system on sunday and then monday we start to dry it out, warm it up with temperatures just really coming within a few degrees of monday's

high temperatures going into the middle of the week. i'm feeling the change in the air. hopefully you feel it soon as well. and dan, back to you guys. thanks, andy. >> up next, the mess up with today's great california shakeout. millions shaken from sleep by mistake

stinging, 5-times-a-day,... ...makeup smearing drops user. i want another option that's not another drop. tyrvaya. it's not another drop. it's the first and only nasal spray for dry eye. tyrvaya treats the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease fast by helping your body produce its own real tears. common side effects include sneezing, cough, and throat and nose irritation. relying only on drops? not me. my own real tears are my relief. ask your eye doctor about tyrvaya.

but for some, that message actually came well before the dawn. so why did some phones go off, including mine, by the way, and amas at 319 in the morning? that's the question. >> abc7 news south bay reporter dustin dorsey looked into what happened. you never know when the next big 1st may strike. >> california recognizes that it may not be a simulation one day, so every third thursday in october, the state practices earthquake preparedness with the great shakeout, a statewide alert test that went out thursday morning encouraging everyone to drop cover and hold on. >> it's a great opportunity to practice, but also to realize, too, that we have an earthquake early warning system in california, oregon, washington. so it's also a chance to practice this either dropping and covering, holding on because of shaking or because of receiving an alert. >> it was supposed to be a statewide practice at one time, ten, 19 a.m. pacific standard time. but we know earthquakes

can come without notice. and in some ways, millions of californians got a dose of that reality at 3:19 a.m. when the myshake app sent the test alert early, waking up people hours before the great shakeout. at some point there, it seems that our system sent out the alert at 10:19 a.m. or 1019 utc time, which is kind of a universal time, which is essentially seven hours different from where we are here in the pacific. my shake app shared this message, blaming the error on a configuration glitch that they assure will not be repeated for next year's safety drill. while some were woken up at 3 a.m. and others received the alert on time at 1019, we were told by dozens of people that they didn't receive an alert at all. today, i think it has potential, but i didn't get the alert today. >> so i'm like, is it does it really work? >> unlike the real alert that came during the 4.2 quake in sacramento county, robert degroot with usgs told us thursday's test alert required prior download of the myshake app errors during the great shakeout have some questioning the early warning system, but degroot says it's still an

important tool in earthquake safety and preparedness to keep your faith in it. >> we're making it better every day. it's there to protect people. our priority is, is public safety. so we just want people to understand that this is all being done in the name of keeping people safe. >> in san jose. dustin dorsey, abc7 news. free fentanyl. we have a wild story out of san francisco and the i-team's dan noyes went to check it out. >> then things got really interesting. he's going to join us to explain what he saw and less than three weeks after being appointed to the senate, laphonza butler announces whether she's going to run for the seat in 2024. >> i'm michael feeney with a banking mix up. solve seven on your side is

were you giving away fentanyl or was that just a joke? >> no, i, i it's not a joke. >> this convicted sex offender set up camp across the street from a catholic grade school in san francisco's richmond district more than two years

ago. but it was his signs offering free drugs that had authorities moving him out today. and that's only part of this story. believe it or not. there is more. >> yeah, that's right. the i-team's dan noyes was there, joins us now. what else happened while you were out there, dan? there was a lot. >> almond daniel i saw the headline in the san francisco standard and had to go see for myself and things got heated today. a parent from the school apparently punching that man in the face. >> i've been in san francisco, so basically homeless for 26 years. >> 46 year old adam moore tells me he has lived on the sidewalk across the street from stella maris academy for more than two years. and that his sign offering free fentanyl for new users is no joke. moore says he's just passing on the drugs that other people give him in exchange for blankets and supplies he provides. >> they feel bad if they don't reciprocate, so they bring me trash that they've scavenged things that they think are valuable or they give me some of the drugs that they have, which i don't do. >> you're exposing wrong grade school kids to this is this is

not right. you know that. >> no, no. >> it's i mean, the shallow i mean, the kid the kids come out of the school and they see this. yeah, yeah. >> i only live by two rules. be kind to others and make it look easy for children. >> the richmond district police captain told me they recently tried an undercover sting on moore, but he didn't have any drugs at the time. however it's his past that's led to some concern, learns moore is on the megan's law website for lewd and lascivious acts with a child under the age of 14. >> i was innocent of all of the charges that i've been accused of, convicted of moore's apparently not considered a high risk offender. >> so he does not have to follow the rule to stay 2000ft away from any school. >> and i was told that he is in compliance with all of the components of what his sex registration are. >> but captain canning explains under new guidance, officers are allowed to enforce rules against camping on sidewalks. and that's what they did today. i was there

as moore declined an offer of shelter. >> i will never voluntarily incarcerate myself. okay? no worries, mister moore. >> that's your decision. okay please be safe. okay. >> moore officers arrived along with the homeless outreach team from healthy streets operation center. they took away bikes and other items that moore willingly gave up, allowed him to keep an electric bike and other personal items. as i left the team hoped moore would willingly move on a relief for parents at the school and those living nearby. >> i'm always concerned if my wife walks our baby around by herself. i always kind of want to be there because you never know and it just sucks to always kind of have that sense of like extra vigilance in a neighborhood that's supposed to be quiet and residential. >> now, back to that incident. moore did get a ticket today for misdemeanor battery in an altercation with a parent from the school. now, he in turn, filed a complaint of assault against that father who apparently punched him. clearly a difficult situation, but no way should someone be giving out fentanyl within feet of an entrance to a school. strange story, right?

>> thank you, dan, for looking into it. that's laphonza butler is not going to run for dianne feinstein's senate seat. >> butler was appointed fewer than three weeks ago by governor newsom. newsom had pledged to name a black woman to the senate, but did not want to turn to any of the candidates who already declared for the 2024 race. butler put out a statement saying she had spent the past couple of weeks pondering her political future and that not running is the right decision for her. >> meanwhile, the struggle to find the next speaker of the house is dragging on republican congressman jim jordan decided not to push for a third vote today, but will do so, he says, in the future. jordan is open to finding a temporary solution. but republicans remain divided on how to move forward. today the idea of empowering interim speaker patrick mchenry was floated, but it did not gain any real traction. >> your money gets taken. you have the video to prove it and the bank just won't listen to you. who do you call a seven on your side?

>> 700 side's michael finney joins us now with that story. >> michael. yeah, it was super frustrating. someone took his money and he wasn't getting it back. as dan just said, and he didn't feel like his bank was even really listening to him. bank of america customer kyle fisher lives in berkeley. someone had withdrawn money from his account, so he reported it, figuring things would wrap up quickly. >> so a couple of weeks went by and i got a letter, a form letter from them saying, we're denying your fraud claim because you made this withdrawal. and on this on the notification, they give you a phone number if you want to see the proof that we have that you made the transaction, we will send it to you. >> proof it was him. um, this he had to see. >> so a couple of weeks go by and they send me the picture of the person who's supposed to be me. and of course, i was not surprised by what i received. it was a picture of a man who, as far as i'm concerned, looks very little like me. but the bank

wasn't buying it. >> and kyle wasn't getting anywhere. i shared the story with a couple of friends and reggie and goes, you need to talk to seven on your side and said, that is an excellent idea. >> and i reached out to you. >> i asked kyle for copies of the photos, then showed them around. so i want to show you two pictures and you tell me if they look the same to you. okay okay. so this is a guy who lost his money, who complained to me. okay, this is the picture from the bank. are are those the same guys or are different guys? >> not even close, no different guys. it's not even close. >> that was my take. but this guy saw a resemblance. >> i think. the same guy. >> you think it's the same guy, huh? we contacted bank of america and so did la times contact. kyle had and the money was returned. the bank giving us the statement. we take identity

theft very seriously. resolving identity theft issues is a complicated process, and we're always working to improve our clients experience. >> s i'm very appreciative of what you're able to do because you actually got access to a person. i could not do that no matter what. i tried. >> okay, so what happened? well, kyle says he hadn't noticed his account had been ripped off twice. twice? he believes the bank, compared to photos of the same guy raiding his account at an atm, they thought it was him. since he hadn't reported both withdraw calls. interesting. amazing wow. >> what a mystery. thanks michael. >> rising from the ashes, wildfires are destructive, but at the same time can provide new options. amenities for nature. >> a look at some of the restorative work going on right here

redwoods is like following a wild fire roadmap. the charred tree tops marked the twists and turns of the ferocious ccu blaze that roared through the santa cruz mountains. three years ago. >> the doug fir, the colter pine that was here all cooked so. so we don't have any live trees left in these areas. and you can see because these trees are dead , they don't have leaves anymore. and beyond the destruction, the ccu fire has also brought profound changes to san vicente petrie, a senior project manager with the peninsula open space trust says the disaster has accelerated growth along the forest floor. >> native plants are now regenerating recrear mating habitats for wildlife. >> so it's a really unique opportunity for people who are visiting to come see how fire changed the landscape and how it's progressing over time. prepare for future wildlife threats. >> managers at san vicente have

concentrated on balancing the forest itself, clearing out dead trees to strategically thin certain areas. and since the ccu , fire crews have also worked to create what's known as a shaded fuel break, those typically are a way to reduce the fuel load in the understory. >> so a lot of the kind of smaller brush and smaller plants clearing those out while leaving what's left of the healthy, intact canopy above to shade out those areas. >> uh- ian rowbotham is with the sempervirens fund, which shares management responsibilities for san vicente. this fall, they're planning to employ yet another forest management technique used by indigenous peoples for centuries, a prescribed burn to further reduce the fuel load you're trying to thin out a lot of that understory growth with the fire. >> so it's really a low intensity burn where you're trying to not only reduce the fuel loading on the landscape, but also open up growing space. >> back on the trail, hikers can see evidence of the technique's effectiveness as areas that were

thinned by controlled burns before the 2020 ccu stand in lush contrast to the blackened trees just a few hundred feet away. >> the after effects in this area we did a burn look really good. the fire stayed at a low enough intensity not to kill these trees. >> and with a newly marked seven and a half mile trail system, san vicente is offering even first time visitors the chance to experience a changing landscape and perhaps a new reality in the santa cruz mountains. learning to live with fire at san vicente redwoods. spencer christian, abc seven news. >> so interesting to see the difference between what was dealt with and what was left alone after the fire. >> certainly. all right. well, that sun has gone down, as we can see. >> sandhya patel is on the roof of our building. sandy is it getting cooler out there or not yet? >> it is indeed. the sun has gone down and the temperatures are going down. dan and alma and you can feel it. it is noticeable as the sea breeze has really kicked in on live doppler seven. we do have some fog. it's

right around the monterey bay and it's working its way up towards the bay area. so later on tonight, you will see that fog tomorrow afternoon, you will feel the difference. temperatures will be anywhere from about 5 to 20 degrees cooler. we're looking at mid 60s to mid 80s for your friday, even cooler as we head towards saturday. most of you will be in the 60s and 70s and similar conditions for sunday. that's when we're expected ng some wet weather to enter the picture late saturday night into sunday. you can see that not expecting a whole lot of rain, but some scattered showers. just enough to dampen your sunday maybe some high elevation snow in the sierra as you check out the accuweather seven day forecast, these three words might be really. just music to your ears if you don't have air conditioning relief from the heat starts tomorrow and it continues through the weekend with the level one on sunday. we'll go back to dry early next week. ama and dan. >> all right. we are thankful for the break. thank you, sandhya. >> all right. abc seven sports reporter chris alvarez is live at levi's stadium. yeah 40 niners prepare for monday

night's game right here on abc seven. >> hey chris. yeah >> we are counting down the days and the minutes until the niners are in minnesota and some key injuries the 40 niners are going to be monitoring this week. we'll give an update on three of their stars. and i sat down with talanoa hufanga and kyle hughes. check some one on ones we talk about prime time and how they can get back on the winning

the 49 ers heading to minnesota on monday night to play the vikings. you'll see it right here on abc seven. now some of the injury notes to keep a keep an eye on that is on the offensive side. christian mccaffrey, trent williams and deebo samuel did all not practice now we'll keep an eye on that as the week goes along. they have a couple extra days to get ready for that game. san francisco back on the practice field in santa clara for the first time following a regular season loss in nearly a year. they've been so good over this last year, i sat down with safety talanoa hufanga and fullback kyle ustek to discuss a variety of topics, including the benefit of an extra day gearing up for monday night as a football player. >> like we're very schedule oriented, so we always try to do whatever we can to keep us in that same routine. and so in my mind, it is wednesday, as far as i know and can tell it's wednesday, but it's always nice on monday nights you get that one extra day of rest, which is huge in a season you wouldn't believe, like what a difference a single day will make, even

just having a night game. there's that little extra eight hours for your mindset and for your body just to recover. so fun fact, i just got married like three weeks ago and my walk out with my wife. >> thank you was the monday night football team like she let me do that. like we walked out. i had a football. it's a real thing. but monday night football. sure. you've been watching as a child. what is it like under the prime time lights with the whole country and the whole league watching you? can you describe what a monday night's like? >> it's really special for me being in the league. i think this is my third year, but my first year ever going out, one of my first starts, my third start, i think was against was on a monday night. and so i think it's just such a surreal feeling. i think the fan base, we travel well, but you know, going into a place like minnesota with a great fan base that's going to allow ourselves to be on a big stage, another primetime lights. and so for us, we're just going to enjoy it and take it in the first loss of the season. >> you don't want to have them, but how can this maybe reset you guys? you come off such a high against the cowboys, i guess

knocked down a little bit. how do you feel the team is ready to bounce back monday against minnesota? >> i think we're in a great spot. i think honestly, it was almost a good loss in a sense for us just to have that taste in our mouths, that feeling. so be able to go out there and kind of compete even at a higher level the next time we go out there in a way that can be the best thing that's happened to us because we really do. >> it brings you back down to earth, where you're when you're winning. it's so easy to just bypass little mistakes and it's okay, we won the game, we're rolling. let's not worry about that. that little thing we can address that later. well, when you lose, that's when it becomes a big thing. and we're going to come out of that game knowing all right, there's some things we need to clean up. >> so i'm here today, but i'll be in minnesota beginning sunday with reports and of course, for the game on monday night. game coverage begins at five with after the game immediately following on abc seven and don't tell me last night was a preseason game between the warriors and kings. it felt very much like the regular season. stephen curry in mid-season form, he hit the game winning triple against the kings with five seconds to go and he busted out a night night. he scored the

warriors final 13 points and finished with a game high 30 for the warriors now perfect four and oh in the preseason but it's just a warmup for the main event which starts on tuesday. >> everything we do in the preseason is trying to develop an identity, especially with a new group of guys in our rotation, obviously. cp you see the benefit of, you know, his shirt handedness with the ball in the fourth quarter. it might seem like it's just a preseason win, but it's all about developing an identity of how to close games and, you know, withstand adversity. and we did that and the warriors holding a very fun open practice tonight at chase from 530 to 7. >> that was a lot of fun for them. we'll hope to have that at 11 and their first game on tuesday against kevin durant and the suns. of course, i'll be in minnesota beginning sunday, monday night football. we cannot wait for the niners game coming up on our air. guys, i'll send it back to you. >> chris, i was at that warriors game last night and i can tell you it was thrilling when he hit that last shot. awesome >> all right. thanks, chris. thanks. tonight on abc seven at eight, the golden bachelor nine, bachelor in paradise and of
