because he is a football player and that this was a random street robbery in san francisco. melissa oden, abc seven news. >> we will, of course, be following this story very closely all day. a reminder you can get detailed information about what crime is like where you live with our abc seven neighborhood safety tracker. it includes information and trends for san francisco, oakland and san jose. you can find it over on our website, abc seven news.com or on our app. we have developing news now out of the middle east, where the family of hirsch 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 right here in berkeley. hamas took the 23 year old hostage on october 7th, kidnaping him from a music festival. just last weekend, family and friends rallied there for his release and a srn hom pn released a statement saying he is devastated and outraged, 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, but 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. >> a victim was found dead on the street in oakland's chinatown, and this morning, police are investigating. authorities are looking for several people suspected of physically beating the victim to death. police responded to the initial report 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 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. sheree barfield, owner of sheree 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 police say the teen was not the intended target. barfield hopes the proceeds can go toward adding permanent staff on campus to prevent this from happening to another student. the luncheon is at barfield's restaurant at 4920 dublin boulevard, suite 220, and it starts at 2:00. all right. as we head to break, let's check in with lisa. good morning. >> hey, stephanie. good morning. and the fog? slow to move across the bay. we have this beautiful shot from mount tam where we do have some clear sky and a little bit of patchy fog, but we expect the fog to continue to build. and then a road back to the coast, compliments of some gusty winds. so a system headed our

way. how will it influence your sunday? i'll have the answers to that. and a look at some very hot temperatures coming. our way next. >> lisa. thank you. also ahead, labor day plans are derailed for people in the north bay after this dam failure at the russian river shut down a popular beach and a safe place for pets when their owners enter rehab. we'll tell you about the organization watching over man's best friend

empty with rushing water, taking

out a big chunk of the road there. abc seven news reporter cornell bernard is in the north bay talking 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's with 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 curry 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 a different areas of vallejo. if you go down sonoma, there's a big, huge. we don't have a sewer plant down there. smells 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 online 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 the 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 can 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 pacific 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 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 do not allow pets, so owners are forced to part way with their animals. program manager serena saunders says 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 hrubec says keeping his dog is what helped save him. positive recovery is working towards expanding nationally an incredible program and we hope to see it more here in the bay area. all right. we're going to turn to weather now and a live look outside from our emeryville camera. we are anticipating this cool down to continue. let's check in with lisa. good morning. good morning. >> another 20 minutes to sunrise and there's some fog out there. but really, wait till you see. not a whole lot gathering around the bay. it's all due to this area of low pressure. we've been advertising that cool down the breezy winds coming our way. it's still well offshore. it's going to advance to the north and east. and as it does, it kicks up the wind. so already in northeastern california, western nevada, a fire weather watch. this is going to bring increasing winds. low relative humidity. and then behind the system that's where it's going

to affect the bay area. and that's going to be tuesday wednesday and thursday. so mount tam right now beautiful view and not a whole lot of fog. it is sort of dispersed shallow marine layer out there. 57 in the city. it is 62 in oakland, 64 in hayward with cloudy skies and breezy winds along the coast and pushing into the delta already there's some of that fog from sutro right now. it is 58 by the delta winds up to 22 miles an hour there. and there is fog up in santa rosa at 54. so it is beginning to fill in a bit. and as we look at the golden gate bridge, though, classic shot that we love to take. but you should see more fog. and so with this, it's not going to be totally cloudy any at one time. we're going to see the sunshine win out for a breezy afternoon. and that will allow for temperatures to struggle into the mid and upper 80s. so the coolest day out of the next seven by far. today. labor day gaining about 2 or 3 degrees. so slightly warmer there. and then

as we look into the tuesday time frame, that's when the temperatures spike to 100 degrees or better inland, about 102 tuesday wednesday. the hottest days. thursday still quite warm and then getting some relief by friday. there's a look at those winds already up to 22 miles an hour. and as we look at the wind flow throughout the rest of the day, it continues to increase. so stopping this at 9:00 and it's breezy along the shoreline. and those colors, the reds indicate the gusts out there. so it certainly will be a slightly cooler afternoon. we're not talking widespread 70s. we're still going to manage those 80s today. so tuesday this will be the start of that elevated fire danger. low relative humidity. and look at these temperatures. we're anywhere from the 90s over in oakland and hayward into the triple digits for tuesday and wednesday. very little change, but the coast cools off. so if you're thinking about a beach day, i would say tuesday is your day. wednesday still quite warm.

see those 80s up towards point reyes and stinson? we'll get just an immediate sea breeze at the coast, and then by thursday, the coast gets relief a little bit around the bay, not so much inland. so planning your day today? plan on sunny skies, breezy to gusty winds at times. 70 in san francisco, 73 in oakland. look for 76. in fremont, 79 san jose. that's a cooler day for you. the accuweather seven day forecast. we are slightly warmer tomorrow and then the heat is on for tuesday, wednesday and thursday. >> 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

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 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. >> lots to enjoy. it starts at noon today and parking is free in the nearby neighborhood. 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 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. conc 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 combine waste plastics with two catalysts sodium and tungsten, then seal it inside a high pressure reactor. add ethylene heated 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. >> all that being done right in our own backyard. very neat. well, 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 now 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

for joining us this half hour. lisa is here and this cooldown won't be lasting very long. >> no it won't. and we were just talking about that. our hottest time of year. obviously september and october. but boy, it has been a hot summer. and as

we start out this morning, not a whole lot of fog either. that has been overplayed. the past couple of days we've had more sun. 57 in the city. it's 61 in san jose, and from our roof camera, it is partly cloudy. cool though with some fog in santa rosa, 53 there, so a couple degrees cooler from 2 to 5 degrees cooler and for the afternoon hours and even mid morning hours. it is nice and sunny but the winds kick up. highs in the low 80s, maybe a few mid 80s out towards brentwood and 70s from san mateo through oakland today and 60s with windy conditions at the coast. 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 died after being bitten and contracting mosquito borne viruses. now, authorities say they 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, but you can see the damage here. 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. >> 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 weight and gain to recovery for them to recover everybody and then get the bus out and probably a couple of 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. now to a consumer warning, jaguar is warning owners of i-pace electric vehicles about a potentially dangerous problem with the battery. it's 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 this 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 a record breaking numbers this year, and of course, the 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. johny fernandez, abc news, new york. >> still ahead on abc seven mornings. >> pieces of broken history have been found on a home on a beach in the east bay, and these aren't rocks you're looking at. these are pieces of broken ceramic dishes from decades ago. the story behind how they got there. coming up. and we'll take you outside for a live look from our golden gate bridge camera. you see, not a cloud in the sky this morning. lisa will have your full forecast coming up in just a few minutes

why choose a mobile network built for places you'll probably never be... ...instead of for where you are most of the time? xfinity mobile was designed for where you need it most. now xfinity internet customers can buy one line of unlimited and get one free for a year.

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 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? they 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 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 dirt. 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 i bring them here, apparently right out in a big dump, and children would go out and play in, in, in the tepco piles and around this place. tepco was an important part of the city. one of the few businesses in town. i used to joke i still joke. it's 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. >> i love the history behind that story. so beautiful. a

sharp display of art. lisa, we got to get a sturdy pair of shoes, though, when we visit. yeah. >> for sure. that's fascinating. a beautiful view here from our exploratorium camera. 57 degrees right now. a high of 70 with breezy winds. and then we're going to talk about the temperatures soaring as we get beyond the labor day holiday. in just a few minutes. >> lisa. thank you. also next, the aggies down in bear territory for the first full weekend of college football. sports is next

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 noe 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 we 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. that was a 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, tavares 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 up, 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. >> thanks, j.r. will the giants face the marlins one last time here at home? first pitch lease is at 105 and we need another win. >> we do, and we're going to have some pretty good weather. although it's going to be breezy in the afternoon. so as we get towards that 1:00 hour, 67 degrees, sunny skies and the winds over 18 miles an hour at times, so be advised to that. bring the jacket if you're headed that way, because the temperatures dropping off throughout the later afternoon beyond 4:00. there's a look at area of low pressure now as it gets closer and skirts extreme northern california already a fire weather watch for extreme northeastern part of the state and western nevada. relative humidity down to the single digits. and our weather is going to take a big turn once this gets to the east of us and high

pressure builds in rapidly. so the we've been watching the clouds. this is okay right now where we're beginning to see partly cloudy conditions. so temperatures are on the cool side. 57 in the city, 62 in oakland, 64 hayward san jose 61. and the low cloud deck has made it to the east bay hills. walnut creek, partly cloudy 53 while it is clear in san francisco at the golden gate bridge. but we do have a mile visibility up in santa rosa, so the fog patchy around the bay. 58 in concord. and as we look at the golden gate bridge, it's gorgeous here, right. so a lot like yesterday we had the clear sky here and the fog to the east. it all erodes for a sunny and breezy afternoon for the labor day holiday will be maybe 2 to 3 degrees milder. so a very nice day for monday. tuesday temperatures soar. wednesday. they're going to stay excessively hot. and thursday still we're into elevated fire danger. relative humidity, quite low. we could even be under a red flag warning the winds will be light, but they will be out

of the north, allowing for our beaches to warm up. there's a look at what is too much fog today. it clears back to sunny conditions as we get into your monday morning clouds and then once again, afternoon sun. maybe a few patches of low clouds from half moon bay to pacifica, but overall pretty good beach day. i think a little bit better than today simply because of the gusty winds today. here's a look at the livermore valley upper 80s is where it is average for this time of year, so below average for the holiday with low 80s. tuesday, wednesday, thursday. our east bay valleys will be cooking with temperatures well above average, and even friday the cool down for most of us, but still quite hot inland. 79 in san jose today. so taking you out of the 80s, that's your 3 or 4 degree cool down on the peninsula. mostly sunny conditions. the breeze, upper 70s redwood city. so that's certainly cooler than you have been. and the clouds from time to time. half moon bay, some sun though 70 downtown

breezy winds up in the north bay looking at numbers quite pleasant because if you wanted to go to wine country tuesday, wednesday, thursday, it's going to be near 100 degrees. but 80 today sonoma and napa on the east bay, 73. in oakland, you head inland and temperatures could be a lot hotter with numbers in the low 80s. the accuweather seven day forecast so slightly milder for the holiday then we are really hot. in fact excessively warm through thursday. slight cooling friday steph. >> all right lisa thank you. well coming up next. this gives me chills just looking at it. we're celebrating the most daring people on earth where you can watch fly, a documentary about the

in imax theaters across the country this week. we're talking about fly. it takes us inside the exhilarating yet dangerous world of base jumping. alicia vitarelli spoke with the

filmmakers and those daring base jumpers. the film begs the question what if the very thing that fuels you could also be your downfall? 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. well, fly is in imax theaters starting tomorrow and tuesday. disney of course, which owns national geographic, is the parent company of abc seven. so lisa, i'm getting anxiety just watching the clips there. >> don't watch, don't watch. but it is fascinating. it is. >> it is amazing for sure. >> i've been watching the clouds that have been interesting again today. where they've moved across the bay. not everywhere though, so it's pretty patchy. that is a gorgeous view from our exploratorium camera. and as we look at the accuweather seven day forecast to start the month, we are cool. in fact, below average with mid 80s and our warmest locations more likely low 80s out towards danville, san ramon, mid 70s around hayward and oakland will be barely in the low 70s with those breezy winds. we'll look for the temperatures to come up a few degrees for the holiday tomorrow, and then check it out tuesday, wednesday, thursday. it

is an offshore flow. is that's the place to be? yeah. all right. >> that three day stretch lisa thank you. and thank you all for joining us. i'm stephanie sierra along with lisa argen abc seven news continues
