push across the bay. seven degrees cooler in novato and a couple degrees cooler down in mountain view. but the clouds will peel back by about 1030, 11:00, and we'll see a slower warming trend. you can see sunny skies throughout the bay, but by 2:00, only in the low 80s and maybe mid 80s. but by the afternoon we've got plenty of sun and winds keeping it a little bit below average. stephanie. >> lisa. thank you. back to our top story. forty-niners wide receiver ricky pearsall is recovering in the hospital this morning after police say he was shot during an attempted armed robbery in san francisco's union square. this happened yesterday afternoon in the heart of union square at grant avenue and geary street. we're told pearsall fought back against the suspect, leading to both getting shot. the niners drafted him in the first round this past april, and as abc seven news reporter tara campbell reports, the incident drew sharp reaction from city leaders. >> reporter a high profile shooting in san francisco's

arriving at the hospital, followed later by mayor london breed and district attorney brooke jenkins. >> my hope is that we can demonstrate that this is an isolated incident, one where our officers acted swiftly and the things that we put into place and how they were designed led to an arrest and will lead to accountability. >> the mayor calling the incident at union square rare and applauding the police department for its quick response. >> their work ensures that people know that if they come to san francisco to commit crimes, they will be arrested. >> district attorney brooke jenkins saying charges can be expected next week. >> we are not a city that will be tolerant of these of this type of conduct. >> the da doubling down on her commitment to work with the mayor to make the city as safe as possible. >> this is a setback, but we will continue to push forward to make sure that we minimize these types of events in our city. >> the police chief reiterating while there is a suspect in

custody, there is still more investigative work to be done. tara campbell, abc seven news. >> and we have developing news out of the middle east, where the family of hersh goldberg-polin says his body was found in gaza by the israeli military. he was one of six hostages whose bodies were recovered yesterday. goldberg-polin was raised here in berkeley. hamas took the 23 year old hostage on october seventh, kidnaping him from a music festival. just last weekend, family and friends rallied there for his release in a safe return home. president joe biden released a statement saying he is devastated and outraged, and hamas leaders will pay for their crimes. police are investigating a suspected freeway shooting on eastbound 580 in oakland. two people in a vehicle were hit by gunfire yesterday around 2 p.m. and taken to a nearby hospital, then transported to other hospitals for higher levels of care. all eastbound lanes near seminary

avenue were closed just after 3:00. they reopened just after ten last night. after several hours of investigating. an investigation is underway in the north bay this morning where there was a plane crash at an airport. this happened at gnoss field in novato. there was a fire that spread from the plane to the grass nearby, putting up a plume of smoke. you see there. the pilot was killed. abc seven news reporter anser hassan was at the scene and spoke to witnesses. i didn't hear anything. >> i suddenly saw this big black, billowing clouds, black, black and carried this way and realized something was wrong. >> the black smoke. heather thompson is describing is from a small three seater plane that crashed into a hangar during takeoff, killing the pilot. it happened saturday afternoon at north field airport in novato. >> from what i hear right, the plane sort of shimmied and went off the runway to the left and

into this hangar, and all i could see was what was left was the tail of the plane. >> one person who was at the airport tells abc seven news that the wind socks, which help pilots determine where the wind is coming from, were blowing in different directions. he says that means it was likely gusty in the area and that may have impacted the takeoff. he also says the plane likely had a full tank of gas, which led to how big the fire got. >> we could see the one hangar. i believe it's only one that was really burning. >> the national transportation safety board confirmed the pilot died in the crash. in an email to abc seven news, it says an ntsb investigator will arrive sunday morning and will be focused on three primary areas the pilot, the aircraft and the operating environment. that includes examining aircraft maintenance records, the weather forecast, the pilot's license and a 72 hour background check of the pilot to determine if there were any issues that could have affected the pilots ability

to safely operate the plane. a preliminary report is expected within 30 days at north airfield airport, anser hassan. abc seven news. >> police are investigating after finding a person dead on the street in oakland's chinatown. authorities are looking for several people suspected of physically beating the victim to death. police responded to a report of an unresponsive person on the street friday morning near eighth and webster. officers provided medical aid until paramedics arrived, but the person died at the scene. the victim has not been identified yet and no arrests have been made. happening today, the mother of a child who was assaulted at dublin high school is hosting a unity prayer lunch for the community. sherri barfield, owner of sherry's southern kitchen restaurant, is raising funds for the athletic department. her 14 year old son was attacked last week and was left with a concussion and several injuries. the fight was stopped by the school's football coach and several students, and

on this holiday weekend. a beach that would have usually been packed is now empty, with rushing water taking out a big chunk of the road there. abc seven news reporter cornell bernard spoke with neighbors and first responders. >> oh, it's crazy. yeah, that's a lot of force of water. >> noni marie mitchell can't believe how much damage this dam breach on the russian river caused at popular vacation beach in guerneville. >> it was such force, it came right straight across and just wiped out that whole edge of the road. >> the road bridge and beach are closed this labor day weekend because the county says it's just too unsafe. warning signs now posted. >> normally this whole area right here would be packed with tourists and with swimmers. and so right now this beach is closed and there's a swimming hole right on the other side of

those trees that a lot of people utilize. >> the reeves family are feeling deflated along with their paddle boards. they didn't know vacation beach was closed. they come here every year. >> the plan was to paddle down the river and then go to the beach and barbecue for labor day weekend, and, but maybe it's going to be a little different now. >> this dam is used in summertime to slow river flows upstream for rafters and swimmers. check it out. you can see how low the russian river has dropped since the dam breach. normally the water is to the top of those yellow boards and out of caution. >> park and rec district pulled some of the boards out to release the pressure on the dam, which then in turn lowered some of the river levels. so some neighbors are worried. >> they say this road and bridge typically stay open through prime fire season. >> there's only one way in the community when this bridge isn't in, so they do try to keep it up until fire season, until, you know, at least the end of october, just in case. so we

don't get stuck. >> the county says the dam will be dismantled soon. the road will likely stay closed until next spring in guerneville. cornell, bernard abc seven news. >> in vallejo, residents in the south part of the city are dealing with an awful smell of sewage. it's being caused by repair work underway at the vallejo wastewater treatment plant. abc seven news reporter ryan currie shows us what's being done to mitigate this stench, and how long it will last. >> you can't see it, but you can definitely smell it on this hot late summer day. vallejo residents are struggling to stay outside. >> it's in different areas of vallejo. if you go down sonoma, there's a big, huge. we don't have a sewage plant down spells like that. >> the odor is wastewater. go anywhere in the south side of vallejo and it will smell like sewage and chemicals. >> if it's like a hot day today and the air isn't moving and you're around there, it's pretty pronounced. it's pretty pungent. >> it's coming from here. the vallejo wastewater treatment plant. the reason why it smells

so bad is because this giant tank called a bio tower is shut down. it's going through some much needed repairs. >> there's millions upon millions of square feet of media, plastic media in there on that media. there's a massive mass that actually grows, that media has not been replaced since it was actually brought on line in 1988. >> media is a term for when plastic and rocks build up in the filter. orlando cortez is the superintendent of the project at the plant. he walked us around the facility to show us their refurbishing plans. but while they retrofit one tank, it means they only have just one working to filter all of vallejo's wastewater. >> the strength of the wastewater doesn't go down whatsoever, however, our treatment did. so we reduce our treatment by 50% and thus you know it is what it is. >> the flood district installed these misters around the edges of the tank. they have a cherry aroma coming out of it. it's anything they could do to try to make the air smell just a little bit nicer. the project started back in march, and the

wastewater district told vallejo residents it was going to smell. but what they didn't anticipate was how strong it would smell and how far it would travel. >> we undershot the actual radius of notifying our ratepayers. i believe we went out a half a mile. now, in hindsight, we would have went out a little further, maybe two miles, just to make sure that we covered everyone in that area. >> mix that in with it being a hot summer, and it means vallejo is one stinky city. but cortez says this project is necessary for the plant to stay running long term. he says it is supposed to be done the 1st of november, but that also means two more months of dealing with a bad stench. in vallejo. ryan curry abc seven news. >> this weekend, there are tributes across the bay area and around the world marking international overdose awareness day. hope a peninsula nonprofit, held a memorial walk and educational resource fair at the pacifica moose lodge yesterday. the event is designed to prevent overdose, reduce stigma and support families and friends of those who have been impacted by

addiction. more than 200 people attended the event. >> i think education is really important. i think we're all. another thing we try to do is reduce the stigma around people that are struggling, and not to look down on people and have an open mind. i would say the biggest thing i would say is empathy. we need to have empathy for people and we don't know what people are going through and what they're struggling with and trying to understand and just not judge people. >> training and free narcan were provided by micah's hugs, a nonprofit in the north bay dedicated to educating youth on the dangers of substance abuse and fentanyl poisoning. an organization is working to prevent people struggling with addiction from giving up their pets when they enter rehab. positive recovery in denver has spent the past three years keeping owners and their pets together through the recovery process. many recovery centers don't allow pets, so owners are forced to part ways with their beloved animals. program manager serena saunders says that it can be traumatizing for patients to

give up that kind of support system, and patients agree. >> caring for another creature and having and having something else care for you the way that animals do is, you know, it's just unconditional. and sometimes that's one of the things that people in recovery really need to, to be able to feel. >> simon rubik says keeping his dog is what helped save him. positive recovery is working towards expanding nationally. great to see that effort. all right. turning to weather now and a cooldown this labor day weekend. here's a live look from our emeryville camera. let's check in with lisa on the latest. good morning. >> hi, stephanie. yes we're watching that marine layer. i am anyway, that will build in the next couple of hours. due to this area of low pressure that's on the move. its to. you can see it's to the west of us. it's going to move to the north and that's going to bring in a little bit more cloud cover and some breezy winds around the coast and the gaps here. and as a result, temperatures won't be

as warm. it is 63 in oakland right now, 61 in fremont with temperatures in the 50s from santa rosa to napa. and we are looking at numbers that will come down into the low, maybe mid 80s. so we've been near 90. the past couple of days. so sunshine and breezy winds today and looking at sunny and warmer weather as we get to the end of the holiday weekend, tuesday, wednesday and thursday. triple digit heat returns. in fact, we're talking temperatures not only in the hundreds in our inland valleys, but 90s around the bay and mid 70s at our beaches. so it's going to be quite warm. maybe a good day to head to the beach, but this three day event will allow for not only northerly winds, but elevated fire danger. and that's going to really put the bay area at risk and much of northern california. so the winds continue to pick up throughout the afternoon, up to about 30 miles an hour. and right now the winds are gusting to about 31 out towards fairfield. so we are looking at the gusty winds throughout the day today. that's

going to add to the feel of how cool it is, but it's just a one day event. we'll begin to recover tomorrow. tomorrow is a nice day for the holiday. look what happens on tuesday. we're at 102 by the delta and 99 in danville. temperatures well into the 70s, even 80s on the coast. so depending on where you are, tuesday, wednesday will be the hottest day. but notice very little change into wednesday where we've got over 100 from our inland valleys. and then look at all the 80s. it's going to be a hot day in oakland and those rare days in san francisco, which really haven't been so rare since it's been so hot in july with widespread 70s for tuesday, wednesday and thursday. notice that the temperatures here are still quite warm, so the relief comes by the end of the week and it's only going to be subtle. we're still going to be above average friday into next weekend, but those three days highlighting the hottest weather there. so as for today, we'll get some sun at the coast. so the fog moves in, it's going to be mostly cloudy and then it's going to erode

back to the shoreline. so it will be 70 pretty mild in san francisco, 73 in oakland up in the north bay, low 80s. santa rosa looking at upper 70s san jose. and you head inland. this is the change here where we're going to see temperatures just in the mid 80s. so that's a switch. and looking for the labor day holiday to be sunny and pleasant. although the beaches are going to have some clouds on monday, temperatures coming up just a few degrees there tomorrow. and then things really change for tuesday. the heat spikes, triple digit heat around 90 around the bay shore. that's hot. mid 70s right on through wednesday at our beaches and maybe a few degrees cooler on thursday. but then we really start to see a little bit more relief. friday and saturday. >> hi, i'm amanda delcastillo from abc. seven mornings with your labor day weekend travel. look ahead. let's put our focus on that return trip for monday. labor day leave before 10 a.m. and avoid travel from 11 to 8 p.m. and then on tuesday the

third, it's best to leave after 1 p.m, with the eight to noon window expected to be the worst. triple a says we'll hit peak congestion on monday around 4:45 p.m. the drive on westbound 80 from sacramento to san francisco expected to take an upwards of two hours and four minutes. and i'll leave you with tips for smoother travel. leave early, use traffic maps and tools and call 511 for updated travel information from the state. of course, the abc seven bay area app and abc seven news.com are also great resources. i'm amanda delcastillo with your stay ahead of your child's moderate-to-severe eczema. and they can show off clearer skin and less itch with dupixent, the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists and allergists, that helps heal your child's skin from within. serious allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems such as eye pain or vision changes including blurred vision, joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines

without talking to your doctor. ask your child's eczema specialist about dupixent. they say the hardest part of getting something done let's go! hustle! is getting started. well, we did that 30 years ago, when california first took on the tobacco industry. this is not just about access. it's about the message it sends... now smoking is down 60 percent. lung cancer 42 percent. a couple of our cities have already ended tobacco sales. a california without big tobacco isn't just possible,

it's already happening. will kick off at civic center park. the event has over 99 vendors, live performances and plenty of free samples. there's also activities for kids and a pet adoption center. abc seven news anchor reggie aqui talked with founder ericka hazel and

the co-founder of berkeley based prime foods about this event. >> something i like about this festival because, you know, we have all kinds of great festivals in the bay area, but they can sometimes be high. the price to get in, right? it can be kind of a barrier for some people. so tell me about what you're doing. >> yeah. so our five pillars of the festival are people, animals, health, wellness and entrepreneurship. helping small and growing businesses. and so we've already given away over 300 tickets to kids, those who have ebt or calfresh benefits, as well as berkeley residents. and so we really want everyone to come in. prime rib is back for their second year as our one of our sponsors, and they will be giving out sandwiches all day for free. so you're going to get a lot of free samples. you're going to get to try a lot of vendors. we have vendors coming from oregon from out of state all over the country. so it's really that one in once a year opportunity to try so many different things that you will not believe. everything is vegan. >> it all starts at noon today and parking is free in the

nearby neighborhood. all right. a science breakthrough could change how we recycle. researchers at uc berkeley discovered a chemical process that breaks down plastics and things like water bottles, water bottles, that is, and milk jugs. abc seven news reporter lena howland looks at how researchers hope this will cut down on the waste we throw away, and help to build a better bay area. >> the future of recycling plastics could look completely different, thanks to a new discovery at uc berkeley. >> we hope that this method can kind of provide a better alternative to traditional mechanical recycling, where instead of a lower value product out of the recycling process, you can get the exact same plastic by just recreating it from scratch. >> that's rj conc, a chemistry phd candidate at berkeley built off years of prior research by cal students and found a new way to take apart some of the most difficult plastics to deconstruct. we're talking about

plastic water bottles, soap bottles, shopping bags and more. according to advisor john hartwig, sandwich bags but also large objects and construction materials, as well as the milk jug, the yogurt containers. here's how it works. chemists combined waste plastics with two catalysts sodium and tungsten, then seal it inside a high pressure reactor. add ethylene and heat it up and stir for about an hour and a half. open up the reactor and this is the result. no more plastic, just raw materials that can now be recycled. >> i began to start to lose hope, but one day he came to me and actually said, i have the best results i think i have ever going to show you. and at the end of the meeting i said, yes, that's true. >> on thursday, this research was formally published in the journal science. >> it is one of the, you know, most prestigious, highest impact publication forums that we have. >> and in science's big picture, they hope this process eventually will lead to less plastic in landfills.

>> i think the goal is to provide an economic incentive to collect plastic waste, or at least a disincentive to throw it out into the environment, if you can make it cheaper to recycle plastic, then less ends up out in the environment. >> a feat conquered after years of trial and error with a little catalyst of luck in berkeley. lena howland abc seven news. >> still to come this morning there is growing concern over the west nile virus following reports of at least four deadly cases, how communities across the country are trying to keep people safe. and later, it's a small, unassuming beach in the north bay. but it's also a treasure trove of broken history. we'll explain

thank you for being with us this half hour. we're going to start with the weather. and this is the last official weekend of

summer, right? so the unofficial. right? yeah. >> so they say. exactly. but you know what? it is really going to crank up the heat around here. so we're getting back into excessive heat as we end the labor day weekend. but right now starting out at 61 in fremont. the sunrise comes up at 640 sets at 737. so the bad news is it's 12 hours and 59 minutes of daylight. it was 13 hours yesterday, so the days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer. and you can see that 52 in novato there. how it cools off. but we don't have a lot of cloud cover yet. we're expecting that to advance across the bay a couple degrees cooler there. and when it does it will take towards nine 10:00 to clear and then will be in the low 80s around our inland valleys. and 70s around the bayshore. steph >> all right, lisa, thank you. now to a warning about mosquitoes. communities across the country are waging a war against the pesky bugs after health officials confirmed two adults in new jersey and two in wisconsin have died after being bitten and contacting mosquito

borne viruses. now authorities say there are nearly 300 cases across more than 30 states, including right here in california. abc's em nguyen has the details. >> communities across the country are on alert as cases of mosquito borne viruses are on the rise, including the west nile virus and eastern equine encephalitis, also known as triple e health officials say west nile is responsible for the deaths of adults in new jersey and wisconsin. nearly 300 cases reported across 33 states, and experts say 1 in 150 may lead to serious illness or even death. symptoms include high fever, headache, disorientation, vision loss and even paralysis. in new york city, on alert after mosquitoes infected with west nile were discovered earlier this week. trucks spraying parts of brooklyn and manhattan considered high risk. >> we think at this moment, you know, there is a high percentage of mosquitoes infected with west nile virus in some areas, not

everywhere. some areas of the city, and those are the areas which we are treating right now. >> the northeast also concerned for the deadly disease known as triple e, after officials in massachusetts said a second case in the state was discovered. it's prompted some public high schools to change the times of their football games, trading those famous friday night lights for a 4:00 kickoff. >> it's a pretty big tradition here. on friday night, i think the town should leave it up to the individual if they want to take the necessary precautions, then do so. >> the rare but serious triple e disease is mostly spread through mosquito bites, and symptoms overlap with many of those found in west nile. they also include drowsiness, behavioral changes, and seizures. and when abc news, washington. >> across the country, now a tragic bus crash in mississippi has caused the death of seven people, with 37 others injured. no other car was involved in this accident. early yesterday morning. the national transportation safety board says it was caused by a tire failure.

it went down into a ditch and was knocked onto its side. >> we had to get the bus stood up to get it where the bodies had come through the windows. so there's pretty much a lot of waiting game to recovery for them to recover everybody and then get the bus out. and probably a couple hours by the time they recover the bodies and some of them were pretty hard to drag up the hill. >> the bus transit company provides cross-border trips, the local coroner says a six year old boy and his 16 year old sister were among those who die, identified by their mom. authorities are working to identify the other victims. jaguar is warning owners of its i-pace electric vehicles about a potentially dangerous problem with the battery. it is advising people to park outside because the batteries could catch fire. jaguar is recalling models from the 2019 model year because of this problem. so far, there have been at least three fires here

in the u.s. related to the battery issue. the company issued three recalls previously due to problems with the battery. millions of americans are traveling during this last unofficial weekend of summer. tsa is preparing for record breaking numbers and roads will also be packed. abc's johny fernandez is in new york with more on this weekend's travel plans. >> millions are heading to their holiday destinations by air to celebrate the unofficial end of summer. as the summer comes to a close, the tsa says it was record breaking. >> tsa has been in existence for 23 years, and of those 23 years, the top ten busiest days ever have all happened this summer. >> tsa expecting to screen more than 17 million passengers between now and wednesday. >> well, so far knock wood. the airlines have done pretty well. i think they were anticipating the rush. they know this is kind of that last gasp of summer travel before we get into a little lull before the holidays. so airlines are largely handling

it pretty well. they've stepped up. >> they were prepared on the roads. timing is everything. triple a says the best time to drive is before noon today, before 10 a.m. monday. and after 1 p.m. tuesday compared to last year, filling up your gas tank is a little easier on your wallet. 333 for a gallon of regular unleaded, about $0.50 cheaper than the 3.82 we were paying a year ago. johnny fernandez, abc news, new york. >> now, take a look at this. nasa astronaut matthew dominick captured this time lapse footage of the bay area while on board the international space station. you can see the different layers of the atmosphere here and the bright lights surrounding the bay. dominick launched to the iss in early march as a commander for nasa's spacex crew eight mission. very neat. well, still ahead on abc seven mornings. pieces of broken history have been found on a home on a beach in the east bay.

we're talking about thousands of pieces of broken ceramic dishware. locals call it tepco beach after the ceramic factory that was nearby. but closed in 1968. now, story has it that the factory discarded all of the chipped or damaged dishware along the shoreline, leaving a site to see for all visitors >> we're on a piece of land, point isabel, which was originally a wharf. and over the years it has just changed so

much that there's no way it looks anything like it used to look. >> i think they dumped here almost every day. someone in passing said, oh, have you ever been to tepco beach? i said, no, so we came here >> we're at of tepco beach, which is right near point isabel regional shoreline, and i'm dave weinstein, president of the el cerrito historical society. tepco beach, as we call it, now, has shards of beautiful old porcelain and pottery that were made by the technical porcelain and chinaware company >> they turned out thousands of pieces of plates, cups, saucers,

all kinds of dinnerware. it was dinnerware, actually, which is very thick. they operated at their peak, producing about 30,000 plates a day. >> hotels, places in reno, san francisco, many of the local places they all got special. tepco, where santa fe land wanted to build a giant industrial place out here. so they encouraged all kinds of people to come and dump whatever they could to make land. look, for example, at these giant pieces of former sidewalk. so for many years, tepco would come out of here and they wouldn't just drive to the end and dump it here on the beach. if you walk through out point this part of point isabel, you find a lot of this stuff buried in the dir. i don't know what the pattern name is for this, but.

>> there's going to be breakage. there's going to be misfirings of some kind. bad glazings. those things aren't marketable and they just get tossed. >> people who grew up in the 40s and 50s and 60s have told me about playing right next to tepco, because they would dump a lot of the shards before bringing them here, apparently right out in a big dump, and children would go out and play in the in, in the tepco piles and around this place. >> you would have seen tepco was an important part of the city. >> one of the few businesses in town i used to joke i still joke, was one of the few businesses where you could go to and not get a drink. >> they became collectible. in fact, my late wife sandy, and i started a tepco collectors club about 20 or 30 years ago, and it seemed to us, as we were collecting, that the prices kept going up and it became more and

more known and more collectible. and i've noticed over the last 20 or 30 years how the available shards are fewer and farther between, even though it looks like there's nothing but shards here, you could walk all across here and never touch a grain of sand. >> people over the years have come and taken a lot of it, but they should not. these are archeological fragments that should remain here >> a sharp work of art. very neat. i want to go visit. at least we'll need a strong pair of shoes, though. >> yeah, that's for sure. and this morning at our beaches, it will be very windy. but we have a good view this morning where the fog has not gathered quite yet. we'll continue to see it advance throughout the morning hours, then give way to a sunny and kind of windy afternoon with cooler temperatures. i'll have the details in a few minutes.

>> lisa. thank you. also next, the aggies down in bear territory for the first full weekend of college when you have moderate to severe eczema, it's okay to show off. with dupixent, show off your clearer skin and less itch. because you have plenty of reasons to show off your skin. with dupixent, the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists and allergists, you can stay ahead of your eczema. it helps block a key source of inflammation inside the body that can cause eczema to help heal your skin from within. many adults saw 90% clearer skin, some even achieved long-lasting clearer skin and fast itch relief after first dose. serious allergic reactions can occur that can be severe.

tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems such as eye pain or vision changes including blurred vision, joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines without talking to your doctor. show off to the world. ask your eczema specialist about dupixent.

area and on the road. oakland faces texas on the road at globe life field. first pitch is at 1135, then san francisco takes on miami again. that game starts at 105. abc7 news reporter j.r. stone has your morning sports. >> good morning to you. the first full weekend of college football. the last bay area team to hit the gridiron. the cal bears hoping to build off last year when they made a bowl game for the first time since 2019. it's year eight for head coach justin wilcox out of the tunnel at memorial stadium. and there they go. cal actually trailed with under four minutes to go before halftime, but no williams. he took this kickoff not 5060, but 80 yards to the house. he was barely touched and

the bears led by one at the break. he also had an interception. oh man. yeah he's fired up. he loved it. second half we go. bears played much better. jayden ott from six yards out for the second of his two tds on the day. it's 2113 bears. the defense played great with three picks on the day. cade oliver yeah yeah there he is. there's a luvet had one of them and that helped set up the bears final score of the afternoon. yeah they're fired up when fernando mendoza steps up. connects on a low throw to hunter. bears pull away for the 3113 win. coach wilcox credits them for staying focused when things started slowly. >> it's the difference between bad football and good football is about that much, and i think we just played a lot more detailed, played with better technique and executed a higher level in the second half and first half. they wanted to play. it wasn't. the guys weren't flat. we just didn't play well. >> every single time he got the

first first down, we scored. and so that was the biggest thing. when we all put our efforts together, all hyped each other up. energy. hey, we gotta get this first, first down. instead of thinking big picture, we think small picture first. it was that enabled us to go and score a lot of points. >> the giants hosting the marlins. will clark son trey throwing out the first pitch to former giants pitcher dave dravecky. no score in the second. griffin conine, son of jeff conine, hits his first career homer off the pole and into the water. but yeah, you hate seeing it with the marlins. giants trying to mount a late inning comeback. michael conforto, a line drive shot into the bullpen that makes it a one run game, but lamonte wade, he would strike out to end it. giants lose 4 to 3 to drop back a game below 500, and their playoff hopes are all but done at this point. the a's in texas facing bruce bochy. the butler did it again. lawrence butler that is gone. he's on some kind of heater right now. another home run. this was a rocket 113 miles an hour off the bat. that makes six homers in his last

five games. a's would tie this up at two. but in the bottom of the ninth with bases loaded, taveras soft ground ball. i'm breathing heavy because that gets through for a base hit. his first ever walk off hit as the a's lose 3 to 2. and finally, the washington nationals called up dusty baker's son darren to make his major league debut on sunday. you know him best as this three year old bat boy that j.t. snow saved during the 2002 world series against the angels. but man, oh man, he has grown u, played baseball for cal, and was drafted by the nationals in 2021 and will make his debut against the cubs. both teams, at one point managed by his dad dusty. and that is sports. >> all right thanks j.r. giants faced the marlins one last time here at home. first pitch lisa is at 105. >> nice day today at the ballpark. in fact, we're going to see plenty of sunshine and

temperatures in the upper 60s. we will look for those winds to pick up as well. anywhere from about 18 to over 20 miles an hour throughout the afternoon. so it will be pretty breezy all around the bay due to that system that is skirting the bay area later on. here's a look at low pressure which will be on the move today. it is first going to enhance our low cloud deck and then allow for the sun and breezy winds to take hold throughout the afternoon. it is 58 downtown, 63 in oakland with 56 in sonoma and low 60s down around san jose. so temperatures are mild to start out. but as we go through the afternoon, it's certainly going to feel a little cooler there. so after that fog lifts, it's going to be sunny, breezy today. and then looking at temperatures coming up, maybe 2 or 3 degrees tomorrow, not much of an increase. we're going to save that for tuesday, wednesday and thursday as high pressure builds in strongly. and that will allow for triple digit heat 90s around the bay. 70s at

the coast, northerly winds, low relative humidity. we've been through it before. perhaps a red flag warning, elevated fire danger? not quite sure because the winds are going to be that strong, but it is going to be pretty hot. there's a look at the marine layer, which could be a little bit overdone. now, yesterday we really had very little fog throughout the morning hours. so it's going to quickly peel back and notice sunny skies. so if you're headed to the coast it will be clear. but we are looking at those winds to really kick up throughout the afternoon and then into your monday morning. the fog is back, but look how soon we get into that sun. by 9:00 it's mostly sunny and just some once again, patchy fog at the coast, so the beaches clear, but not the warmest of days today and tomorrow. if you can take off. maybe tuesday and wednesday. that would be a beach day. look at the winds. they're going to continue to increase. and right now they're over 24 miles an hour through the delta. so they're already quite breezy in terms of the look ahead for many inland valleys. it's the

best today and tomorrow if you like it. not too hot. but if you do like the hot weather comes your way and kind of sticks around for the next several days. as we get into the middle of the week and when we cool off, it's not going to be dramatic. it's just going to be on the subtle side. so upper 70s today, that's a switch for you from santa clara and milpitas on the peninsula. it's cool. it's breezy to start out and temperatures just in the low 70s. that's kind of typical though for millbrae and san mateo, but still a lot of 70s peninsula. sunny, breezy 70 downtown up in the north bay. look for about 78. petaluma, 80, in napa and heading over to the east bay. 73 in oakland, fremont is at 76. you head inland and we've got low 80s for concord. that's about all we can do for today. the accuweather seven day forecast featuring slightly warmer weather for the labor day holiday. still on the breezy side, and then that very hot weather coming in throughout the middle of the week. stephanie. >> all right lisa, thank you. coming up next, a celebration of the most daring people on earth

where you can watch fly, a documentary about the thrill of base jumping

imax theaters across the country this week. the film begs the question what if the very thing that fuels you could also be your downfall? flye takes us inside the exhilarating yet dangerous world of base jumping. alicia vitarelli spoke with the filmmakers. gabby gabby. >> i think when you have a dream and you feel the beauty of human flight, you're willing to put a lot on the line. >> base jumping essentially diving into the air with just a single parachute. it's a community many know little about the documentary fly wants to change that.

>> historically, they were kind of cast off as rebels of society. it wasn't mainstream. everybody lived nice. you really tried to do is celebrate this art of human flight and dig deeper into the motivations of these individuals, of who does it and why. >> fly features three couples who truly live life on the edge, like amber and aspen, whose bond is tested by triumph and tragedy. >> it's about life and death. we are criticized for it by many, and we are often misunderstood. >> they hope their story changes. that point of view. >> i just looked at her, thinking she had found something she would love. >> this film is a lot about freedom. our life is a lot about freedom. it's about seeking purpose in whatever way you want to fly, spread your own wings and your own life. >> they hope you'll watch this and be inspired. invigorated. >> if we just dare to do it, it's probably going to be an incredible journey. and the biggest risk we can ever take is to not risk anything at all.

>> this documentary took seven years to make with state of the art cameras capturing the gravity defying jumps in the air and on the ground, but it is the most dangerous sport you could do, the most lethal. >> and i think the movie, we did not lose sight of that. >> but the filmmakers say at the heart is the human spirit taking risks and taking flight. >> the one thing that we learned through this whole process, and i think very early on, is that when somebody is standing at the edge of the cliff, it really informs how they live. one. >> wow. exhilarating is putting it lightly. fly is in imax theaters starting tomorrow and tuesday. disney, which owns national geographic, is the parent company of abc seven. still to come. this morning at 6 a.m, the latest on the condition of forty-niners player ricky pearsall after he was shot in the chest during an attempted robbery in union square. plus, reaction from city leaders about the crime. then berkeley native
