under federal investigation. authorities have been looking into the possibility of corruption at city hall, issuing subpoenas for adams and members of his inner circle. two weeks ago, adams accepted the resignation of edward korban, his handpicked police commissioner, after authorities issued a subpoena for his phones. the mayor's chief counsel also stepped down, and this week, schools chancellor david banks announced plans to retire at the end of the year. adams issuing a statement saying he always knew if he stood for new yorkers, he'd be a target and if charged, he's innocent and will fight this with every ounce of strength. he's new york city's first sitting mayor to be indicted. aaron katersky, abc news, new york. >> all right. we are in for another foggy night tonight as we take a live look outside at san francisco abc7 news meteorologist sandhya patel joins us with the accuweather forecast. hi, sandhya. >> hi there diane. and we are going to take a look at a changing accuweather forecast from mount tam cam. you can certainly see the fog. this is how the day will begin.

temperatures are running lower than where they were just 24 hours ago across many areas like livermore, nine degrees down, eight degrees. in concord, we had double digit drop in temperatures earlier this afternoon with mostly 60s and 70s. the breeze is still up there around the delta 21 fairfield, 24, in rio vista will keep it going for another hour or two before the winds really taper and those temperatures go up. so first thing tomorrow morning, it's a foggy start. numbers in the 50s, sun for most areas by noontime, except for the coastline where there will be some fog. and then it's a warmer afternoon, low 60s to low 90s before temperatures come down. we have a heat up coming our way. i'll be back with that in just a few minutes. >> here we go again, sandhya. thanks very much. in the south bay, a plan to bring another costco to san jose is moving forward despite strong opposition from neighbors. it would go in on prospect road right near westgate shopping center and prospect high school. san jose's planning commission held a meeting tonight and members received an earful
11:10 pm
during the lengthy public comment period. there were complaints that the new costco would be just too big for the neighborhood. a number of speakers cited the potential for more crashes due to the increase in traffic in the area, combining drivers who aren't paying attention, or they frantically search for limited parking with students who are distracted and an already known to be dangerously congested area is the opposite of safe. >> i think. one what we're seeing here is this project has met the requirements that the city has set forth. i don't see a case for us making a different finding than that. >> in the end, they unanimously approved the environmental impact report. the plan will now go before the san jose city council, which is expected to take it up next month. >> a live look now at the upper deck of the bay bridge. not too much going on, but starting tomorrow, late night drivers might face a bit more congestion than usual. that's because of a

11:12 pm
ordinance that protects oak trees. 150 years old and older. the trees are considered a vital part of the county's natural and cultural heritage, and now there's a public outreach underway about the best ways to keep healthy and protect them from removal. the mighty oak would join another type of tree under a protected status. >> our tree preservation ordinance goes towards redwoods right now, and we want to incorporate the language of the oak trees. per the referral from the board of supervisors. >> the county says it's hard to determine a tree's age, so there is going to be a little bit of a guessing game happening based on the size of the trunk and the height. >> a lot more coming here. a family on a cruise ship with their little boy's fever getting worse and worse. tonight we're hearing from the pilot behind this dramatic rescue off the california coast, and a beloved landmark ripped apart by storms finally restored the celebration as capitals iconic wharf reopens. some bay area kids on
