arriving. and hopefully they're going to bring in a little bit more in the way of humidity. but we'll talk about that and how long the cooling trend lasts when we come back. >> lisa thank you. also ahead, victims of a costly crypto con are sharing their stories, all to help prevent others from being victims of scammers. we'll have a seven better in as little as 2 weeks. and when you can breathe better, what isn't better? this is better. this is better. that's better. and that. even this. dupixent is an add-on treatment for specific types of moderate-to-severe asthma. it works with your asthma medicine to help improve lung function. that's pretty good! dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems. it's proven to help prevent asthma attacks. it can reduce or even eliminate oral steroids. and doesn't that make things better? dupixent can cause allergic reactions that can be severe. tell your doctor right away if you have rash, chest pain, worsening shortness of breath,

tingling or numbness in your limbs. tell your doctor about new or worsening joint aches and pain or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines including steroids, without talking to your doctor. when you can get more out of your lungs, you can du more with less asthma. and isn't that better? ask your doctor about dupixent, the most prescribed biologic in asthma.

latest. >> yeah. hi stephanie. you know, it really has been slight because even though we had a bit of a marine layer, temperatures still managed to make it well into the 90s. with that system passing to the north, there's going to be a more impressive marine layer as we get through the next several days. so right now, here's a look at live doppler seven where that system is passing to the north and east of us. and right now we are chilly 45 in napa, 47 in sonoma it is 62. in danville with 57 in oakland, 55 san mateo. so temperatures certainly a little bit cooler anywhere from 2 to 9 degrees cooler this morning compared to yesterday, a little bit like that fall feeling. we really do have a lot of dense fog as well. right now. you can see up in santa rosa two mile visibility, but as you head towards the coast over any of these bridges, some of that fog right at the ground and that mist and drizzle possibly as well. there's a look at mount tam again. temperatures are

chilly, the fog, the sun not coming up until about 642. so fog. patchy drizzle with us throughout the day today. sunny with the similar temperatures that range from the 60s at the coast to the low to mid 90s inland. and as we get towards the early part of the week, say tomorrow a couple more degrees of cooling but more dramatic cooling heads our way. tuesday it's going to stick around some of those cooler days into wednesday. if you're headed to oakland today for the pride parade, it is going to be really a nice afternoon. beautiful day with 65 degrees 11:00 temperature. and as we get towards noontime, about 70 low 70s with bright conditions throughout the afternoon, plenty of sunshine and a nice mild day there with mid 70s for the afternoon in terms of that cool down on tuesday, we're looking at just low 80s in our furthest inland valleys. so if you head out towards the delta antioch only about 83. so our inland valleys from the upper 70s to about 80, so pretty pleasant, a nice break out there from the

heat. notice just the 60s and breezier winds head our way throughout the day. in fact, it could be quite windy on tuesday into wednesday. that trough passes and our situation gets a little bit more dire in terms of the relative humidity. we'll get those breezy, dry north winds and we'll be looking at that coming down in terms of the atmosphere drying out. and we're looking at a red flag warning right now for western nevada. so every time we get a system passed to the north of us, we certainly get the winds. and that in turn can further dry out the atmosphere. so we'll be watching that on the back side of that system midweek. as for today, 78 in oakland, 86 in fremont. look for about 95 in livermore. so another warm day in our inland valleys, 86 for you up in the north bay throughout napa. and as we down on the peninsula, mid to upper 70s, from san mateo to palo alto, the accuweather seven day forecast, we are sticking with those 90s inland, the mid 90s today, tomorrow and then

that cool down that kind of wish would stick around. it's been a hot summer. >> i know. i feel like a lot of people are sharing that same feeling. >> yeah, let's see what we can do. yeah. >> thanks, lisa. well, just ahead, more than a million vehicles recalled this morning the brake issues you need to know

different law enforcement agencies and some countries that may be the united states doesn't have the best diplomatic relations with. >> i come to the realization that i'm never going to get that $2.5 million back. so that's why i went back to work as a consultant, and i owe $600,000 in back taxes to the state, and feds. >> no, no, i definitely was not able to get it back. >> sarah says the compound she worked at is still operating with increased security and worsened conditions. >> i escaped, this is an ongoing battle with wounds beyond broken trust and obliterated savings. >> i don't want to lose my heart. i don't want to lose my love of life and of the world and the way that i live my life. i don't want to become a cynic. >> so what to do if this ever happens to you? law enforcement officials tell us you should file a report with both your local police department and the fbi internet crime complaint center, or ic3. but as we heard,

it's 540. artificial intelligence is growing fast and laws to regulate it have been slow to come by. now the state senate has passed a bill many are calling a win. it would require consent before using ai to recreate a dead performer's likeness. abc seven news south bay reporter zach fuentes has more from experts on what the bill does, and how it could affect people, famous or not. >> artificial intelligence can make it easy to impersonate famous figures, type whatever you want her to say and type whatever you want her to say, and voila! the rapidly developing technology is leading to new concerns. public figures and performers are worried deepfakes and other fabricated videos could negatively impact their legacy after they're gone. something we're going to probably have to start putting in our wills because we have to remember our likeness belongs to

our own estate, alive or not. the use of ai to recreate performers has long been an issue in hollywood. that's been the basis of strikes and much outcry. sag-aftra has had a collective bargaining agreement in place, but a bill just passed by the california senate over the weekend takes things a step further. >> ab 1836 is specifically aimed at providing postmortem right of publicity protection when it comes to digital replicas. >> joseph lawlor, a trademark attorney at haynes boone, said only around half of the states provide protections for performers likeness after they die. even so, he said, growing technology needs to be updated in existing right of publicity laws. >> digital replicas of the term is used in ab 1836 aren't discussed in any of these historical right of publicity law. it's not something that people were envisioning. >> the bill passed the senate and is now waiting on a signature from governor gavin newsom as his bill, 2602, which works to protect performers who are living from having an employer use an ai version of them without permission.

sag-aftra has praised the passing of both bills, but lawlor said these bills can have wider impacts. >> even these laws can apply to individuals that aren't looking to put out a hit record or star in a film simply because a lot of people's lives are out there on social media. >> robert chestnut is the vice president of the san francisco nor-cal sag-aftra union. though he couldn't comment on the union's behalf as a performer, he says the bills are a step in the right direction. >> it's just a wonderful start, but we have so much, so much more to do in the south bay. >> zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> all right, let's get you outside. good morning. lisa. >> hey, steph. as we look outside, we do have fog. it is dense in spots. and here from our exploratorium camera. nice view, low to mid 50s to get going. but we're in the 40s in the north bay and the fog clears. we're back to a warm to mild afternoon depending on where you are. but we've got changes. in fact big fall-like changes coming up in a few minutes. >> all right lisa thank you.
