the next couple of days. so around the bay area today, high temperatures will range from mid to upper 70s at the coast to 83 here in san francisco. we'll see some low 90s around the bay shoreline up in the north bay mid 90s to about 100 degrees at santa rosa, 101 at san rafael, numerous 100 degree plus readings in our inland east bay 103 antioch 106. in concord, livermore 105 and down to the south bay. highs from mid 90s to low 100 seconds. i'll have a longer look at the accuweather seven day forecast a little bit later. stephanie >> all right spencer. thank you. still to come this morning. doctors warning people against a new tiktok trend involving their produce. why it can actually be harmful to your health. then a new plan that could help cut down on rental car thefts. the latest push from san francisco leaders then tackling the homeless crisis in the east bay. what one mayor wants to do that, he says, can give those living in dangerous encampments more help to find a place to live

here at home, california lawmakers are pushing a bill that would allow rental car companies to use gps technology sooner so police can find stolen cars faster. we're talking about rental cars. state law requires companies to wait 72 hours to use gps to find missing cars. assembly member matt haney authored a bill that would shorten that window to 24 hours. he says there has been a 266% increase in rental car thefts over the past three years. the da says there frequently used to commit other crimes like organized retail theft. >> oftentimes when they are driving vehicles through the front doors of our business stores, they're not driving their own vehicles through those doors. they're driving stolen rental cars because they don't mind damaging those cars. >> sfpd says it could also make the city's newly installed license plate readers more effective. governor gavin newsom has until the end of september to sign the bill. the mayor of antioch has proposed a new idea

as the city looks to tackle the homelessness crisis. mayor lamar hernandez thorpe wants to update antioch's no camping ordinance that was passed back in 1996. it mandates that no one can camp in a tent or car, but currently applies only to city parks and recreational facilities. the mayor wants to expand that now to include public waterways, trails and plazas that would give city service providers a greater ability to offer help to people living in dangerous encampments. >> antioch is not going to be a dump site for the bay area's problems, so i would encourage other cities to do take the same actions that we have taken with the hotel and other services that we have. >> antioch has requested more funding from the state to increase motel capacity for its transitional housing programs. >> san francisco mayor london breed is gaining extra cash for her reelection bid. billionaire michael bloomberg donated $1 million to a committee supporting breed. the donation is one of the largest this

election season. breed's major challengers are former supervisor and interim mayor mark farrell, nonprofit founder daniel lurie, and supervisors aaron peskin and ahsha safai. >> happening tonight, the san francisco police department is hosting the 10th annual chinatown night out event. the event is designed for people to connect with community services, meet their neighbors, and build relationships with police officers who serve the neighborhood. the free celebration includes food and entertainment. the event starts at 4:00 at portsmouth square at washington and kearny streets. >> new at six a unique dating trend is causing some chaos at a grocery store in spain, and pineapples are involved. okay, according to the bbc, single people go to the supermarket chain between seven and 8 p.m. and put an upside down pineapple in their cart as a signal that you know they're ready for romance. okay. and the trend is

going viral on social media. the grocery store even posted jokes about it on its pages, and at least once police had to go to the store because of crowd control issues. but nobody got arrested. >> so why does it have to be upside down? that's my question. i get something. >> it's a little something to do. i guess if you went and you didn't know, you just wanted to buy a pineapple. >> yeah, that's what i was thinking. yeah, right. >> you got to be intentional. >> so, yeah, we're going to kind of come up to your cart and be like, oh, how are you doing? >> how are you? what are you doing? i'm just here for pineapple, ma'am. >> nice, nice, nice cart you got there. oh, gosh. >> this is cute, though. it's like a meet cute, right? yeah. >> yeah. it is. >> this reminds me of date way. you know, they call it the safeway in the marina and date way. >> yes. that's right. that was. well we won't go there. >> what do you mean? that's right. you were really excited about that. no. are you organic? >> here's a look at what's happening with the weather.

finally we've got high pressure building in. as you can see on the satellite radar. composite image bringing us clear skies, but a big, big warm up as well. clear skies out over the embarcadero right now, as we see from our rooftop camera. it's only 57 here in san francisco right now, but warming up in other locations. we have 66 in san jose, 61 redwood city only 55 at half moon bay. a few fingers of light fog pushing through the golden gate right now and out over the bay. but that won't last long because it's just going to burn away today. right now it's low to mid 50s at petaluma and santa rosa. napa close to 60 degrees and low 60s at fairfield, concord and livermore. and you can see the skies getting brighter right no. we're going to have a hot day today. next three days will bring us triple digit heat in our inland areas. coastal areas will warm up well above average, so i guess that's good news for beach goers. and of course, this kind of heat increases the risk of fire. so there's elevated fire concern over the next few days. highs today will be well above 100 degrees in our inland

east bay areas. 105 in livermore, 106 at concord, 104 up at fairfield. we'll see mid 90s to just over 100 in the north bay. mid 90s to about 100 in the south bay, and low 90s around the bay shoreline, which we don't often see an indicator of just how hot it's going to be. so we have a heat advisory, but that will be in effect from 11 a.m. today to 11 p.m. tomorrow for virtually all of the bay area except the immediate bay shoreline and the coast and again, under these conditions, there is an increased risk of heat related illnesses. so overnight it won't cool down much. look for lows mainly in the mid 60s. antioch will drop down to 71 degrees, but not much lower than that. and as you look at the accuweather seven day forecast, you can see this heat continuing through friday with just a little bit of a tapering off of the heat on friday, but still up to about 100 inland. but over the weekend we get a sharp cooldown and going into next week it's going to be really comfortable. back to the desk. >> thank you spencer. now we're checking in with ginger zee who's live with what's coming up on gma.

the area where ricky pearsall was shot in a scuffle during an attempted robbery. the 49 ers, wide receiver was shot in the chest saturday in san francisco's union square. san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins says the charges against the 17 year old suspect include attempted murder, assault with a semiautomatic weapon and second degree attempted robbery charges. abc seven news reporter j.r stone sat down with jenkins in a one on one interview that you'll only see on seven. it's still not clear if jenkins will try to prosecute the minor as an adult. in california, a da wanting to do that must request a transfer hearing to an adult court, and that requires a juvenile court judge's ruling. in 2022, jenkins announced a new policy for 16 and 17 year olds to be charged as adults in heinous crimes. >> the prior district attorney had a policy that he would never seek to try a juvenile. as an adult. i came in saying, look, we have to put options on the table for certain types of crime. and so attempted murder

is included in the type of crime that i have said. this office will potentially consider for whether or not we think it's appropriate to seek to transfer a juvenile to adult court, jenkins says attempted murder is the strongest charge that could have been filed in that case. >> and while the first court appearance is scheduled for this afternoon, jenkins says the decision on whether or not to request a transfer to an adult court will take at least two weeks to be made. live in the studio gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. >> thank you. gloria. ricky pearsall is expected to miss at least the first four games of the season. yesterday, the 40 niners held their first practice since the shooting and say they're in a better head space after having seen him. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes was there and has more on how they're feeling. >> an immense feeling of relief and excitement among the 40 niners tuesday, both on the practice field and in the locker room. >> bunch of energy in the building. it all comes after goe

>> pearsall first got to talk with his teammate saturday via facetime at a training camp party. >> we had a team party that was scheduled when i got to the hospital and visited with ricky. it was one of the first things he said, mr. lynch, what's going on? you know, i would really like everyone to go to that party. and i'd also like to talk to some of my teammates. i said, ricky, you take care of yourself. but, you know, kind of a cool moment. we were able to pipe ricky into the party and he facetimed the entire group. >> still, the team tells us nothing beats seeing him in person. >> as soon as i saw him, i smiled. man, like, i just, i smiled, went and wrapped him up, hugged him. >> the shooting that injured pearsall comes just as the team is overcoming some turbulent times. late last week, it was reported that wide receiver brandon aiyuk finally reached a deal with the team after high stakes contract negotiations. now, tuesday, it was announced that star left tackle trent williams is finalizing a new deal after a prolonged holdout with aiyuk and williams on board and pearsall's recovery, the team says they're ready for their first game of the season monday against the new york

jets. >> this is a great way to open the season, against a great defense, against a great offense as well, i think it'll be a good showdown. >> zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> new this morning san francisco leaders are trying to prevent the misuse of public funds. some say newly announced reforms will help increase transparency and accountability at city hall. amanda is at the live desk and breaks it all down for us. amanda. >> so, stephanie, there are two parts to this new contract reform legislation and an executive directive that is already in effect. now both target the city's contracting process and people who wrongfully take advantage of city resources. mayor london breed and city attorney david chu announced the new reforms. the piece of legislation calls for additional oversight and transparency on city contractors and grantees. it aims to protect public funds from being misused for reasons like political activity or lobbying. the so-called executive directive 2404 is similar. it aims to root out corrupt contractors and
