attention. it was difficult to implement because the housing had to be located on farmland, and farmland doesn't always have access to water and sewer and other things that you need for living. ab 3035 will now allow farmworker housing to be built within 15 miles of a farm. this makes more parcels of land, whether they're city owned or county owned, to be options for development. >> these are families. they're attending our schools. they're working in our communities. >> we spoke with raymond cansino, who runs a social services agency in santa cruz county. he considers this bill a huge win for the farming community. >> it's going to allow us to raise housing caps from 36 units to 150. >> cansino did note the law does not provide necessary funding. >> unfortunately, we know the state's budget and the state budget woes that the biggest, i think, influx of making a big dent in this isn't in in any of these bills, which is actually funding for, you know, all
6:37 am
housing. >> other bills signed by newsom today include helping migrant farmworkers secure housing year round and not just seasonally. another helps extend paid sick leave. >> i think that that's one of the issues is that we're so detached from our food ecosystem, that we don't know all the work and preparation that goes into it. having some actual goals similar, like we have city rhna goals in terms of how many housing units need to be in relation to your community that you have to build out. i think the same expectations should be done on farming and agriculture in the south bay. >> lauren martinez abc seven news. >> still ahead this morning, hundreds of trees planted in the tahoe forest. the commitment now being made to conservation in the sierra nevada. and we'll take you outside for a look now at from our golden gate bridge camera. it's 637. francis will

so you can see the pretty sky above those low clouds with the oranges there in santa rosa, it's 54, petaluma, 52. napa, also 54 fairfield, concord, mid 50s livermore, 58 degrees. so let's get to those highs today because you'll want to enjoy this while it lasts. it's comfortable in the inland areas where we see upper 80s to near 90 antioch and livermore 90 fairfield concord 88. santa rosa 84 and sunny san francisco on the cooler side. a bit of a sea breeze there with some partly cloudy conditions right there along near half moon bay. so low 60s in half moon bay, san francisco, 65, san jose 81. tonight temperatures will drop into the mid 50s. you want to open those windows? let the cool air in. but what you'll notice is a lack of clouds. and that's because high pressure will build and things will really heat up. in fact, there's a heat advisory for almost the entire bay area from monday through wednesday where temperatures will be in
6:53 am
excess of 105 degrees. so especially on tuesday, there could be major heat risk for the areas in red. moderate heat risk almost everywhere else, even along the shoreline. so those temperatures on monday, you'll notice they really jump up by about 10 to 15 degrees. so we'll see some triple digits san francisco 83. but then check out tuesday. almost everyone will be at 100 or above except for a few locations just right along the shoreline. like san francisco 90. and even that's going to be extraordinarily hot. half moon bay 86. but then you see 108 in concord, 107 in danville, livermore, 105 in santa rosa. so it's going to be sweltering on tuesday, still hanging on to that heat on wednesday. but it does cool down and it does cool down as we continue through the end of the week. so with the accuweather seven day forecast, a pleasant afternoon with some of that fog today and the gray skies this morning. much warmer,
6:54 am
cloudless evenings. and so it is going to be very hot sizzling on tuesday and wednesday. it does drop down a little bit, but it will be several days of just well above average temperatures. and then those overnight lows, you don't get much relief either, because some of them will only be in the mid 60s even at night. so that's going to be tough to crank up that air conditioning. >> and certainly we'll be following all the cooling shelters that will be opening around the bay area. >> yes. stay hydrated. don't leave any pets in the car. nothing of that sort. yeah. >> thank you. francis well, still to come, a comet makes an appearance over the bay area. we'll explain why it's
