right now we'll see some low 90s in the afternoon hours. but generally we've got a cool week ahead of us. much cooler than last week. so the forecast headlines are sunny this afternoon with mild to warm conditions. middle of the week will be breezy and much cooler than last week friday through sunday. going into the weekend, turning slightly warmer but still in a nice comfortable range of pre autumn kind of range of high temperatures. so here's what we have today. inland east bay will still be pretty warm but not extremely hot like last week. we'll see some low 90s there. 91 concord, 93 livermore. around the bay shoreline, mainly mid 70s up in the north bay. we'll see highs in the low to mid 80s and on the coast mid 60s. so lovely day ahead and i'll have a look at the extended weather a little bit later. but right now traffic with amanda. >> good morning spencer. we'll start with a look at our overall map already reflecting that typical slowdown along the altamont pass. we do have a problem spot though in san jose. this is because of a solo crash at the southbound 101 connector ramp to eastbound 237. it isn't causing any real delays, but

people there will notice a crash down the embankment into the trees on the left hand shoulder. another look at another view of san jose. 101 8-80 crossing. very quiet this monday morning. no real issues otherwise to report and to our oakland, 8-80 cam. no issues in both directions of the nimitz cars past the coliseum. let's get back to the desk. >> thanks, amanda. developing news. cal fire crews spent all night working to contain the boyles fire in clear lake. it's burned nearly 90 acres in the southern end of town. firefighters said 30 buildings have burned. nearly 50 vehicles destroyed since that fire started yesterday afternoon. now, at one point, crews faced spot fires on nearly every block as they helped neighbors race to evacuate. >> every time you turn around, there is a new spot fire and there's not a straight line to get from point a to point b, so it was a challenge just to get those people evacuated and try to do the fire stop. once you get a chance to drive through there, you're going to look at

the tremendous amount of structure saved. >> the fire isn't spreading anymore, but those buildings are still smoldering. some residents are finding out their homes were some of the unlucky few to be caught in the flames. >> fire is coming to very close at 100ft, two feet. and then i say, i think it's time to go. i need to wait because the fires started all the way to there. when i saw it to here, i think it's very close. >> was your home destroyed? >> i hope yeah. everything is destroyed. >> crews have reported making good progress on the fire. there have been no injuries reported. >> the fire caused a lot of scary moments for people living in that area. abc seven news reporter j.r stone shows us the frightening views captured by neighbors as the boyles fire spread. >> an apocalyptic fire scene in clear lake as this huge plume of smoke rose into the sky. dawn hunt took this video driving into lower lake and said the situation just looked worse and worse as the day progressed.

>> when i'm heading in, if you take a right up into the walmart parking lot, i just glanced in that direction. the flames were huge, huge flames. >> one viewer took this picture showing the smoke and flames just beyond the clear lake mcdonald's. this picture was taken behind the nearby hospital. sadly, many structures burned. tracy long took this video with her husband as they were headed back home to clear lake. >> when i got the video, i remember thinking that there was no way our house was going to survive the enormity of what we were looking at. >> fortunately for them, their home was 15 to 20 blocks from flames and is still standing in that video though if you look closely, you can see the flames just shooting up into the air. tracy described not only the sight of this, but the sounds. >> you could actually hear the propane tanks exploding as we drove through lower lake, and when we got home, i went out

front and i asked my husband, did you hear something explode? and he said, no, but it's probably the propane tanks. and when i came back in, you could hear they sound like bombs going off. >> fire crews could be seen battling the flames from above, dropping water and fire retardant on hotspots. sadly, a number of homes were destroyed. >> you could just see houses just turning black, one after another. yeah, it was terrible. it was absolutely terrible. just by the color of the smoke. you know what it is? it's horrible. it's so sad. >> a lot of prayer went out today, you know, not just for our house, but our prayers are always with the firefighters that they, you know, that they're able to put the fire out and that they get to go home to their families. >> j.r. >> stone, abc seven news. >> we're also tracking a massive fire threatening thousands of homes in southern california. the lion fire is sweeping fast through the highland area of san bernardino county. it started thursday. it has grown to more

than 20,000 acres. it's threatening more than 36,000 structures. evacuation orders and warnings are in place for several communities. so far, there is no containment on that fire. >> you can keep track of wildfires across the state with our interactive wildfire tracker. just head to abc seven news.com/fire map. >> in just one day, vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump will face off for the first time on a debate stage, and you'll see it right here on abc seven. amanda, how have both campaigns been preparing the past couple of days? >> reggie. over the weekend, the harris team took a break from debate preps in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. the vice president and second gentleman were spotted taking a walk. yesterday when asked by reporters if she's ready for the debate, the vp gave a thumbs up and said, quote, i'm ready. prior to the weekend, vp harris had been holding mock debates with full tv lighting. former president donald trump has so far downplayed his debate prep. he's held no mock debates over the weekend. he appeared to lower expectations for tomorrow.

>> if i destroy her in the debate, they'll say trump suffered a humiliating defeat tonight. >> well, the former president is holding informal policy sessions with advisers leading up to the debate. this will be the first time vp harris and mr. trump have ever met. and tomorrow's performance is important for both candidates. a new poll from the new york times shows the race is very tight, with the former president leading the vice president 48% to 47%. among likely voters nationwide. that's well within the margin of error, of course. reggie, back to you. >> amanda, thank you. and you can watch the presidential debate tomorrow right here on abc seven. our coverage begins at 5 p.m. we are counting down to monday night football with the 49 ers opening the new season at levi's stadium against the jets. >> tonight right here on abc seven. the 40 niners hoping to make it to the super bowl for the second season in a row. fans getting pumped up for the niners revenge season. and there are some changes you'll notice before home games. abc seven

news reporter gloria rodriguez joining us live at levi's stadium with more on that. good morning, gloria. >> good morning kumasi. there is certainly a lot of excitement about the niners first game of the season, and you might be able to see behind me. the barricades are up, the metal detectors are up as they get ready for the first game of the season, but there is a little bit of frustration among some of the niners most diehard. season ticket holders joe leonora of the niner empire group says that he and others who are involved in the big tailgates have gotten emails from the 40 niners that certain rules will be enforced at levi's stadium parking lots. that includes no loud music and enforcing what's called directed parking. it's a parking process that's similar to what you'd see at a theme park with vehicles being waved in. niners have said this is all about safety, and the levi's stadium website says directed parking maximizes the use of available spaces. >> we pay $3,000 per seat

have three. it's you know, it's like. and now now i can't park next to my friend. and that's why we have the early tailgate. >> the first game of the season comes after the shooting of ricky pearsall. thankfully, he is recovering and this game certainly will be emotional for so many. the game tonight starts at 515 as the niners take on the jets and the parking lots here open at 145 in the afternoon. so if you are coming, you're urged to come early. also take public transportation carpool if you're able to. live at levi's stadium gloria rodriguez abc seven news. >> all right. thank you. gloria. you can catch the niners kick off the new season against the new york jets right here on abc seven. our coverage starts at 5 p.m. and then stick around for after the game with abc seven news sports director larry beil. then it's the season premiere of wheel of fortune with new host ryan seacrest, followed by

jeopardy! and then a special edition of abc seven news at ten. >> time for a look at the weather. we'll start this day and this week with some patchy morning mist. but basically we've got clear conditions right now, although we expect some of this mist to deepen and expand before we get sunny skies in the afternoon. temperatures right now 55 here in san francisco, upper 50s at oakland and hayward, 64 at san jose and mid to upper 50s at redwood city and half moon bay. looking across the embarcadero from our rooftop camera. nice view right now. 51 degrees up north at santa rosa, 56 petaluma, napa 57 low 60s inland at fairfield, concord and livermore. that will be our warmest region today. but the hot weather from last week has dissipated or is dissipating. i should say. so for today, look for a sunny afternoon with mild to warm temperatures in the afternoon. middle of the week will bring breezy, in fact windy in some spots and much cooler weather. but as the weekend approaches, it will turn slightly warmer. but again, nothing like the heat we had last week. so for today, look for afternoon highs over in the inland east bay in the low 90s

or even low to mid 90s, up to about 93. in livermore, 93 at fairfield, concord and antioch, 9192 degrees respectively. around the bay shoreline. we'll see. mid 70s 69 will be the high here in san francisco and on the coast. we'll see highs in the mid 60s. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. notice a cool down tomorrow with high temperatures inland reaching only into the low 80s. so about a 10 degrees temperature tumble from today's highs. and we'll see minor increase in temperatures approaching the end of the week. and then temperatures will cool down again going into the weekend. reggie. >> spencer. thank you. dangerous sideshows. at least two cars hitting the crowd in the east bay and on the east bridge. on the bay bridge. i should say. >> and keeping you safe and healthy. the new covid vaccine available today from one health care provider. >> celebrating pride. the highlights from the oakland pride parade and festival. >> a live look ou

year will be its 10th anniversary. >> this celebration is bringing together diverse communities, and it is something that oakland needs. and it is beautiful. i'll be right. >> a celebration of pride taking over the streets of oakland for the city's 14th annual pride parade and festival. abc7, abc seven brought you exclusive live streaming coverage yesterday, and abc seven news reporter cornell bernard has highlights of the big parade celebrating inclusion and diversity. coming up. i want the world to know. >> happy pride. >> a party in downtown oakland where pride was the guest of honor. >> pride means diversity and inclusion and celebrating who we are as gay people. >> there were rainbows and lots of bubbles. this year's pride theme, rooted in oakland, means a commitment to fostering inclusivity and unity in the city. >> i think people know that everybody belongs here. everybody deserves to be here, so we like that. happy pride.

>> oakland mayor xiang tao telling us why she's marching this parade means so much. >> love is love. and this is oakland's culture. so we're out here, we're celebrating. we have the whole city with us. >> in a period where there's so much acrimony, this holiday, this celebration is bringing together diverse communities. and it is something that oakland needs and it is beautiful. >> we live in oakland and we're uh- proud. >> this parade is celebrating its 14th year, and it's hard to believe that before that, there was no pride festival in oakland. a lot of activists and officials said it was about time to do it. >> when i was first elected as the first openly lesbian official in oakland, there was no pride parade. there was no pride festival. now, years of work, of community building, of effort. we have this incredible celebration. >> abc7's julian glover and zach fuentes hosted exclusive live streaming coverage of the oakland pride parade. >> we are so excited by the

patches of light, thin clouds out there. winds are generally light to calm. although we have 12mph winds right now at sfo. so let's move along. take a live view from our exploratorium camera, looking at a little misty sky over san francisco. 55 degrees here in the city right now. we have upper 50s at oakland and hayward, 64 at half moon bay. redwood city 58. 54 at harbor. at half moon bay. again, i think i said that twice, didn't i? santa rosa, 51 degrees. we have upper 50s. mid to upper 50s. petaluma and napa. low 60s at fairfield and concord and 60 at livermore. now you see, we have lots of drizzle offshore right now. and some of this patchy drizzle is actually moving onshore as well. so if you're driving or biking or jogging near the coastline, you might encounter some of that drizzly mist. this morning. but you can see that by midday it's going to start clearing across the entire region. so we'll go into the afternoon with mainly sunny skies, mild to warm conditions, middle of the week. it will be breezy and much cooler. a breezy day will be on wednesday. tomorrow may be the coolest day as we'll have a sharp drop in temperatures from

today's levels and then friday through sunday turning slightly warmer, but nothing like the heat we had last week. now, the closest thing to last week's heat will be today's highs over in the inland east bay, where we'll see some low 90s 91 at concord, 93 at livermore, around the bay shoreline. look for mid 70s. oakland 74, san mateo 7685. down south in san jose. up in the north bay. we'll see highs of 87. santa rosa 83 at napa and 69 here in san francisco. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. notice a drop in temperatures going into tomorrow with highs only in the low 80s. inland up to about 70 around the bay. again, a degree or two going into wednesday and thursday. wednesday will be the breeziest or windiest day. friday just sort of warm again, but not not like the heat we had last week. nothing like that. and then we'll get a nice cool down going into saturday and sunday. >> kumasi thanks, spencer. coming up, the seven things to know this morning. >> new art installation. the dedication in the north bay for a controversial sculpture that has had police surveillance and

nothing like the heat we had last week. the closest thing to last week's heat will be today's highs in the inland east bay, where we'll see some low 90s down in the south bay. look for a high of 85 at san jose around the bay shoreline, mainly mid 70s. we expect a high of 69 here in san francisco today and mainly mid 80s up in the north bay. let's take a look now at traffic with amanda. >> yeah. good morning spencer. a quick glance at our overall map as we get you right back to san jose. we have been tracking this connector ramp issue, a solo crash in san jose at southbound 101, connector ramp to eastbound 237. we have learned that the ramp is now blocked until towing can get to the scene. this is a solo crash down the embankment, into the trees, off the left hand shoulder. but the good news there no delays that we're seeing. then to the north bay, santa rosa, westbound 12 before fulton road, a pickup truck overturned and is on its side and in a ditch. but again, no delays there either. golden gate bridge, the only issue here is a dense fog advisory. it's been issued for the golden gate, yet
