be seeing much of the fog. so i wanted to show you a live view of the golden gate bridge while it is here. that will be gone for the next few days. here's the forecast for today. so inland areas are already getting some sunshine early on. warming up into the upper 80s this afternoon and around the bay. you'll get sunshine by about noon for lunch and then you'll hit the mid 70s. but at the beaches we will get more clearing compared to yesterday, although temperatures still on the cool side with a bit of the sea breeze only in the low 60s to mid 60s. and i have a drastic warm up coming up with the accuweather seven day forecast in my full report. stephanie. >> all right frances, thank you. we're following developing news this morning. two shootings overnight in oakland leaving one person dead and another fighting for their life. this latest one happened after 7:30 p.m. at the intersection of adeline and 16th streets, right near defremery park. one person was found by police with a gunshot wound, and that victim was transported to the hospital, where they later

died. oakland mayor xiang tao says the shooting happened during a high school reunion. she issued this statement saying in part, i am deeply saddened. there was a shooting at the mcclymonds alumni action committee reunion picnic at defremery park. we will not tolerate this type of violence, especially at a peaceful annual gathering. ceasefire partners are actively working to prevent additional violence. the mayor is now urging anyone who may know anything to contact opd. now another shooting left a person in critical condition. it happened around 2:00 saturday afternoon on martin luther king junior way under highway 980. you can see it's right near a large homeless encampment. police told our media partners at the mercury news that the victim is now recovering in the hospital from major injuries. here in san francisco, mayor london breeds crackdown on homeless encampments has resulted in fewer tents in the tenderloin and an increase in arrests. the latest report shows

215 arrests have been made since august 1st, and that's when the city began enforcing anti-camping laws. now, 80% of those were for illegal lodging. the san francisco standard reported 26 tents were counted in the tenderloin recently, and at one point prior to the crackdown, the number of tents was in the 70s. now, at least one person is hurt after illegal sideshows broke out in vallejo overnight. going off, cars performing donuts. you see, they're dangerous stunts and driving into the crowd. at one point, some of the images are just too graphic to show here. so we did see someone crawling away from a car asking for help. it's unclear if they were hit and burned by a firework, or if anyone called 911. we do know the sideshows took place at multiple locations throughout the night, including at a south

vallejo intersection right near sonoma boulevard and lemon street. we have reached out to vallejo police for an update on the situation back here in san francisco, supervisors are one step closer to stopping street takeovers. the board unanimously approved new legislation this week. the plan would make it easier to crack down on people who promote, organize or attend sideshows. police would also be able to use drones, license plate readers and surveillance video. >> sideshows are dangerous. they're infuriating to people who are caught in traffic. and really, it's a kind of lawlessness that is designed to overwhelm public services. it's not going to work if everyone is in on the same page. >> so it's us. it's the da. it's the court to hold people who are doing these reckless and dangerous acts accountable. >> the ordinance will go before the board for a second and final

vote next week. also in san francisco, night markets have brought out huge crowds to the city. organizers say more than 20,000 people came out on friday night in the sunset district, but some merchants are now raising concerns about the problems they faced. abc seven news reporter anser hassan has the details. >> more than 20,000 people packed the streets of san francisco's sunset district for friday night's night market. >> can you believe the sun is shining in the sunset? >> woo hoo! >> this community is bringing so much joy and we're so happy to welcome in people from all over to just have a good time in san francisco. >> night markets have been set up around san francisco in an effort to revitalize the city. that's been hit hard by the covid pandemic. edward suh supports the night market, but he has concerns about what happened in the sunset. >> we are not concerned about the daytime merchants doing their business. >> suh is chairman of the

chinatown merchants united association of san francisco, which has a branch in the sunset district. they sent a letter to organizers signed by several businesses calling for more transparency and raising concerns about early morning road closures that impact daytime businesses and get the daytime business like the grocery store markets or travel agency salon. >> you know, dry cleaned. and they cannot, you know, they cannot operate because they don't have customers. >> the second place winner after the first night market in august, suh says they met with organizers to discuss their concerns. he says this friday's event shows their concerns were ignored. >> i want us to have open communications with the merchants. i know that you know, something like a night market. it's going to benefit some merchants over others. >> billy wong is with the organization, was one of the night market organizers. wong says swease claims are not accurate. she says based on that first meeting, several modifications were made. street closures began later. parking enforcement was delayed several

hours and fewer streets were closed off to accommodate daytime merchants and their customers. and wong says this feedback form was emailed so merchants could raise more concerns. wong says suh did not respond to the email. >> there's many merchants associations in the sunset as well, and we try to have a strong relationship with all of them. >> there are no more night markets scheduled for the sunset district, but several more are planned for other san francisco neighborhoods. in san francisco, anser hassan, abc seven news. >> now to your voice. your vote. vice president kamala harris made a quick trip to san francisco yesterday. she headlined a high price fundraiser at the palace of fine arts during what's likely to be her last visit to california before election day. abc seven news reporter lena howland has the story. >> reporter this is probably the most important election of our lifetime. >> a homecoming welcome for vice president kamala harris in the same city she once served as district attorney.

>> i'm just so immensely proud that a daughter of our region is putting herself on the line to save democracy. >> harris is holding her second campaign fundraiser in less than two months here, this time at san francisco's famous palace of fine arts. last month, a fundraiser at the fairmont hotel raised more than $13 million for her campaign. >> she said, we have to get all the money and give it to kamala harris, and only kamala harris. >> monty shaw brought her family of four, paying between 500 to $1000 per ticket. >> for me, it's for them to see history, so that's really what i wanted them to see. even the vice president is history to us. >> teddy king and her friend conor mccarthy came in from piedmont before even catching wind of saturday afternoon's fundraiser. they already had other plans to support the campaign this weekend. >> we're going to drive up to reno and knock on doors for kamala in nevada, which is a key swing state, but we switched

that around and we'll do that another weekend next weekend. >> adi sackler traveled from sacramento just happy to be in the same city as the vice president. >> i've been donating nonstop to her. i've like weekly and then i then i'll do it again because i believe in her. >> quite frankly. my $0.02 is all the money she raises isn't going to help her. >> mindy petchenik is part of alameda county's republican central committee, and she's running for oakland city council. she honed in on harris's friday visit to the southern border, calling it a campaign gimmick that's come too little, too late. >> i don't think she's fooling anybody by running down there to the border right now. she couldn't go down there. she was border czar. what was she doing? as she said in one interview? oh, well, i've never been to europe either. i mean, give me a break. >> but with less than 40 days to election day, harris supporters say the money spent has been well worth it. >> there is no money that could be better spent than to give it to this race. >> in san francisco, lena

howland, abc seven news. >> we're still waiting to hear from waymo about what happened friday night with some of its vehicles. abc seven news crews reported seeing three of them in the path of vice president harris's motorcade. one of them we actually saw stopped in the middle of the street right near the fairmont hotel where she was staying. a police officer actually got into the waymo and had to drive it away from the scene. governor newsom did sign a bill on friday that allows law enforcement to now cite driverless car companies for these type of traffic violations. meanwhile, former president donald trump blasted the biden administration's handling of the migrant crisis at the southern border. it was during a rally with his supporters in wisconsin yesterday. >> border czar harris went to the border to lie in the most shameless and horrible way possible. at the very site where she released so much suffering, misery and death. there is no greater act of disloyalty than to extinguish the sovereignty of

your own nation, right through your border. >> trump also criticized harris and the biden administration's handling of inflation, which is now down to 2.5% after peaking at 9% in 2022. here in california, governor gavin newsom has hundreds of bills. he has to go through the next couple of days. he did sign a bill that bans what are known as captive audience meetings. this is a major win for unions. newsom vetoed a bill that would have made the edd develop a plan to pay unemployment benefits to people who are undocumented. he also vetoed a bill that would have required new cars, starting in 2030, to come with systems to warn and limit speeding drivers and no more flamin hot cheetos at schools. the governor signed a bill banning schools from selling foods that contain those kind of synthetic food dye additives. san francisco's mayoral candidates were grilled about how they would address issues important to the city's

latinx community. a forum was held yesterday where the candidates spoke about jobs, housing, workplace protections and affordability. it was organized by the latino parity and equity coalition. latinx voters make up 16% of the city's population. all right. how's it looking outside, frances? >> well, it is looking gray. asbestos, especially as we show you a live shot of alcatraz. but there will be more sunshine this afternoon. temperatures will be near average. but then get ready. we're talking temperatures jumping up by 10 to 20 degrees in the next couple of days. and i'll show you that with the accuweather seven day forecast. >> frances, thank you. also ahead, the devastation from hurricane and more clear. this a historic storm. a look math next >> if you've been hurt in an accident and you need results, call sweet james. here are just some of the recent wins for our injured clients. call the firm

that wins big. call sweet james. >> as a renter and single mom, i was excited when i heard about prop 33 until i read the fine print. prop 33 isn't what it seems. 33 repeals 100 affordable housing laws, including the nation's strongest rent control law. 33 has no protections for renters, making it harder to find and afford a place to live. california renters are already struggling. this would make it worse. no. >> on 33 this sunday at 230, don't miss days with zara. special on fire fighting. >> with the racial issues going on back in the day, they didn't feel we were qualified to be on equal grounds with everyone else. >> they just felt that we couldn't do the job, that we were not qualified, that we were not smart enough. >> this assumption that we're not capable. >> i came because of everybody that came before me, not just the women that had been here for

a decade, but the men of color who really started the whole ball rolling. >> it is inevitable. chloe. hey dad. >> they will grow up this way. >> discover who they are, what they want from this world, and how they will make it better. and while parenting has changed, how much you care has not. that's why instagram is introducing teen accounts, automatic protections for who can contact them, and the content they can see. >> if you've been hurt in an accident and you need results, call sweet james. here are just some of the recent wins for our injured clients. call the firm that wins big. call sweet james >> several states are beginning cleanup efforts as helene's remnants make their way across the country. the biden administration approving

numerous federal emergency declarations to free up resources to help in areas hit hard by the storm. here's abc news reporter johny fernandez with the latest. >> cleanup is underway after a hurricane helene made landfall in florida's big bend region thursday night. the massive category four hurricane was the strongest hurricane to make landfall in the big bend on record. the storm surge, wind damage and inland flooding impacted nearly every southeastern state. this as home and business owners are returning to assess the damage. >> we had just opened the cafe about three between 3 and 4 months ago. uh- and we never anticipated it to be this devastating. >> helene weakened as it moved inland, but still brought with it damaging winds and devastating floods. in north carolina alone, nearly 400 roads remain closed due to the damage. the remnants of helene continue to bring rain to areas like nashville, cincinnati, columbus and pittsburgh. president biden

has approved federal disaster declarations for several states impacted by helene, freeing up federal resources. >> we're moving medical resources. we're moving search and rescue teams into those critical areas. we've got generators moving to help with the power issues. >> johny fernandez, abc news, new york. >> now closer to home, we're tracking an earthquake overnight, rocking the central coast. the 4.2 magnitude quake happened just before 3:00 this morning near the town of aromas. that's about ten minutes east of watsonville. and frances. at last check, there were no reports of any damage or any injuries. what are you hearing? >> yeah, we're also checking out the shake intensity and how much people felt it. and in the area, they were only reporting weak to light shake intensity. there was also an aftershock of about a magnitude of 1.8. shortly after the original earthquake. but it is good to hear that there's no major damage. so we'll take you to live doppler seven, and that's showing you where the earthquake ■was. and also theres

the aftershock. and as we show you the bay area, we have some clouds along the coast that have spilled into the bay, but it already is starting to clear up and break out over sfo, though we see low ceilings, cloud ceilings, that is. and that is causing flight arrival delays averaging of about 37 minutes in san francisco, where it's still a bit gray. it's 57 degrees. oakland and hayward at 62, san jose 63. redwood city 60 and half moon bay 55 degrees. but look at that. we're seeing some blue skies already over walnut creek. so inland areas will get the sunshine first in santa rosa, though, and petaluma north bay numbers are in the low to mid 50s, but fairfield, concord and livermore are already in the low 60s. and we'll take you to what you can expect for highs today. we will get more sunshine everywhere this afternoon, except there could be some partly cloudy conditions. you can see here on the san mateo county coastline. so that's going to keep things cool. and half moon bay at 61, san francisco 65. there will still

be a bit of a sea breeze, but really comfortable around the bay in the 70s and inland areas in the upper 80s to near 90 like antioch and livermore. nice in santa rosa at 84 degrees. now you want to open up the windows tonight, because what you'll notice is there will be a lack of cloud cover and fog overnight into tomorrow morning. temperatures will generally be in the mid 50s around the bay, cooler in the north bay, and then because of the lack of fog that's due to high pressure and that's going to allow temperatures to really heat up. so there's a heat advisory in effect for almost the entire bay area. that will probably be one popping up as well for solano county shortly this starts tomorrow morning and continues all the way through wednesday. moderate to even major heat risk temperatures anywhere from 90 to above 105 degrees. in fact, let's get to some of those temperatures. so on monday, you'll notice things jump up dramatically compared to today. some areas will be near 100 degrees, like concord and danville, livermore, fairfield,

santa rosa, ukiah, and even around the bay will see 80s and 90s. and then take a look at the numbers on tuesday, almost all bay area cities will be at 100 or above. there's actually only a few areas below 100, but san francisco is going to be difficult at 90 degrees. not a lot of air conditioning there. half moon bay 86. if you can head to the beach, that'd be a great time to go, but we'll even see triple digits around the bay. it does get better on wednesday. still hot though, so here's the accuweather seven day forecast. enjoy the pleasant afternoon today before much warmer weather arrives tomorrow, and then it is going to be sizzling on tuesday, sweltering as the heat continues on wednesday. really, we get more relief just by the end of the week. stephanie. >> all right, frances, thank you. and speaking of the heat, p-g-and-e's is asking customers to be prepared for power shutoffs on monday and tuesday due to high winds and dry conditions, as well as the heat. the agency warns it could impact

the following counties alameda county with more than 300 customers. contra costa county with nearly 300. sonoma with close. to 268 custom napa with 140 customers. so be aware of that. moving to the east bay now, the majority of oakland arena workers lost their jobs at the oakland coliseum, so they're now asking for a better contract. >> at this point. it's been nine months without a contract. we want to have them to come and negotiate in good faith. >> concessions workers are calling for better wages and health care. currently, only 21 out of 300 workers get health care through their employer levy. unite here local two is asking to expand that to 110 workers, and they want a raise from 18 to $23 an hour. and san francisco's sunset district. many residents are thrilled to have muni's l taraval light rail service back.

>> you know, i love edm music. you know the way it makes me feel. i love dancing. and so i was trying to come to this festival for the last couple of years. so finally, i'm here and really looking forward to rufus du sol and jamie xx tonight. >> yeah, rufus du sol was one of the biggest artists playing last night. festival goers will be back later today to see more of their favorites like fisher and disclosure. more to come on abc seven mornings. we'll be right back. where will i live >> where will i live? >> where will i live? >> i support rent control. vote yes on 33 and no on 34. >> there are many benefits to living in california, but there are also risks. recently, the state has experienced multiple earthquakes and wildfires, which remind us that it's best to be prepared. the california department of aging offers resources to help start the

>> it's coming. so enjoy today while you can before it arrives, here's a look at your forecast. so lots of clear skies for inland areas today warming up into the upper 80s maybe a couple 90s out there today. and then around the bay you'll get sunshine by lunchtime in the mid 70s this afternoon at the beaches. we'll get more sunshine today compared to yesterday, but temperatures will still be on the cooler side on in the low 60s to mid 60s. now here's a look at a couple highs around the bay area for today. san francisco 65 oakland 70. san jose 81. but in a couple of days some of these numbers will be 20 to 25 degrees warmer than what we're experiencing today. and i'll have those numbers for you coming up, stephanie, all right, francis, thank you. >> well, for the first time in four years, the federal reserve handed down a sizable interest rate cut earlier this month, dialing back the fight against inflation and bringing welcome relief for borrowers. since last july, rates sat between the five

and a quarter to 5.5% range. now, rates are down to 4.75 to 5%. this is expected to bring sweeping impacts to car loans more accessible credit savings and of course, housing as open houses get underway across the bay area today, we wanted to see the impacts here locally. joining me live now is realtor neil canlas with the canlas brothers. neil thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me, stephanie. i appreciate it. >> absolutely. so mortgage rates already hit a 19 month low earlier this month of 6.2% on a 30 year fixed loan. what impact are you seeing in the san francisco market? >> that's a good question. it happened about a week and a half ago now, so we haven't seen any closed transactions since then. but i'll tell you one thing. our phones have been ringing more more people have been coming to the open houses. and just overall consumer confidence is up. i mean, whenever the consumer community hears that the feds are dropping their rates, it's their time. if you're a buyer in the market,

it's your opportunity to get in while you can get a lower mortgage rate. >> this week, the california association of realtors released its 2025 housing market forecast, indicating home sales and prices are projected to increase. now, according to the report, single family home sales are expected to increase about 10% in 2025, and the median home price is expected to climb 4.6% next year to more than $900,000. so what does that mean for us here in the bay area? are you already starting to see some of the effects? >> yes we are. i mean, you know, we're coming from a time in 2021, early 2022 where we was the market was super hot. our rates were extremely low, and we were getting multiple offers on almost every listing that we put on the market. but today, obviously, with the rates almost tripling since the 2021 times, the market is slowed down a little bit. but we are still seeing that the overall prices are still going up and that's because the bay area has the

jobs. the bay area has the demand where people want to live at. so until we move to another area of the country, you know, the barrier is always going to go up no matter what. and i think that maybe that will affect the supply because of the rates being higher. but still we're still seeing prices go up. >> i know it depends on the neighborhood, but given the statewide predictions, which areas of the bay area do you expect will be most impacted by price hikes? and if you can get specific on on what those numbers are, you're seeing, that's a good question. >> i think that a lot of it's going to be in the single family residential market. you know, if you look at the peninsula, san mateo, that area, and foster city burlingame even go more south to palo alto. the single family homes there are still going to go high. we're still going to. inventory is still at a record low. inventory is still at one month supply. and given that, you know, there's just not enough, inventory on the market for the buyers out there. so we're going to see prices go up,

especially in the peninsula. i think san francisco single family homes are going to go up as well. the condo market is not as as strong, but single family homes for sure. and then in the east bay, i mean, you're still seeing multiple offers. and in parts of fremont, union city, you're seeing a lot still in lamorinda and lafayette, orinda, moraga. so i think things are looking up for home values in 2025. >> yeah, a lot to be tracking for sure. you know, the bay area market is so unique given it's already so expensive to buy a home here. some analysts say consumers should look out for the, quote, sweet spot of closing that time when rates go down and before competition gets out of control. do you think we're already past that point? >> you know, my brother used to say, you don't wait to buy real estate, you buy real estate and you wait. i think in the bay area, if you look back, i look at trends holistically. take a step back and look back until the 70s and the 80s, people who bought homes back then, interest rates were 1011 even higher and they were buying homes record

low pricing. and at the time, i bet if you ask any of them, they would say that was a stretch for the home price. but now if you look back holistically again, it's just been continuing to go up. and yeah, you'll get little dips here and there, but overall it's always going to go up. this is the bay area in the bay. it's a little bit different and the jobs are here. technology is here. innovation is here. things are always going to go up. the jobs are here and would work from home. kind of, you know, being less for employees. people have to go back to work. people have to go back into the office. so we see prices going up, and we see that demand is always going to be there. >> now, neil, since last july, reports from mls have shown certain areas of the bay area market saw limited competition due to the rates being so high. i know you saw that specifically. now that the rates you know were cut and another 1st may be on the way, what areas are seeing the most competition right now, the most competition in terms of demand

is, again, those areas that i talked about, you know, those great parts of the peninsula, single family homes in san francisco, good parts of the east bay, santa clara county is also single. >> family homes are still the demand is still really high and inventory is still low. but in terms of areas that you could probably get a better deal is condominiums in south beach, soma. and that area. we have a lot of condo listings over there, and things are moving a little bit slower, and that's just because of the work from home and it's not necessarily because of the rates or anything, but i honestly believe if you're looking for a good deal to buy in san francisco, go buy in south beach, go buy in south of market. that area is a lot of inventory on the market. those units are sitting and you can get a good deal on those. >> the national association of realtors settlement that just went into effect in august really changed the game. how is that impacting the process for your clients? >> so with the national association of realtors settlement, that's a lot to unpack. but overall, really what that did is it essentially

removed the fixed commission paid to the buyer agent from the seller. so that's allowed a lot of sellers to be open to sell their property now, because now they don't have to pay that fixed commission to the buyer agent. they can. it's now a new term to negotiate. so sellers are looking to save a little bit of money. and i've been getting a couple of calls recently actually a lot of calls from our sellers saying, hey, with the national association of realtors commission changes and the settlement, do i have to still pay that buyer agent commission and in theory, they don't have to. it's their choice. and it's a term to negotiate now. so a lot of sellers are, you know, getting over the fence and deciding to sell their home. so we're seeing a lot of that change. but also another, change from the settlement was that any buyer that wants to look at a property, they have to have a buyer broker agreement signed with a buyer's agent before they can tour it. so before any broker or any agent can show a buyer any property they want, now they have to have a contract

which is which. basically explains their commission structure, how they're going to be compensated, the broker or the agent. so now it changes the way that we tour homes today, brokers and agents have to really kind of sync with their supper and tell clients that their show their value so that they can get a buyer broker agreement signed so they can legally show them properties. >> interesting. yeah, certainly. slowing the process a bit, as you mentioned. well, neil, that's all the time we have for you this morning. thanks for joining us. >> thanks so much, stephanie i appreciate it. >> absolutely. well we do know federal reserve chairman jerome powell declined to predict how soon we could see the next rate cut or how big it could be. but he did describe the process as a cutting cycle, meaning it's not a one off event. so in that sense, we know there's more to come. we'll be right back. >> at river rock casino. there's a better way to play. we're the only nonsmoking casino in sonoma county, and we have all your favorite slots, plus the newest games in town. don't miss out on

received from her grandson. and why there's no way to get her money back now. abc seven news i-team reporter melanie woodrow has this story from seven on your side. 83 year old lois, who asked that we not use her last name, was home on a friday night when a man said, i have your grandson. >> he was so distraught and crying. >> through sobs, she said he explained, i've had too many beers. >> i drove the wrong way up a one way street. i hit a car and i got arrested. don't tell anyone, promise me. not even family. >> lois promised and also agreed to help with the $9,500 bail. >> and he said, well, the court has devised an easy way for people to pay for bail because a check takes too long to get there. so they have an account with coinstar coinstar. >> you may have seen these machines in local markets like safeway. that's exactly where the caller sent lois after she stopped off at the bank. one by one, she fed $100 bill after

$100 bill into the machine, taking crypto account instructions from someone on the other end of the phone. the next day, another call, this time saying the prosecutor had added more charges and raised her grandson's bail by another $15,000. >> the extra charges are because the woman in the car that he hit had suffered a miscarriage. >> back to the machine she went, putting in $100 bill after $100 bill. >> it took me over an hour every 10,000. it prints a receipt and then a third call. >> this time it would be another $25,000 for attorney's fees and court costs. >> what was i to do then? just say, oh, i'm going to abandon him. i couldn't do that. >> lois says people tried to warn her, including bank managers, who asked why she was taking out so much money. >> i said, oh, i've been to an estate sale and they won't take a check. so i have to. that's why i have to get cash. they were like, are you sure? i mean, they tried the coinstar machine itself had warnings. if you think you're being defrauded, stop. well, i couldn't stop.

>> and even another safeway shopper who saw lois standing here for far too long tried to warn her. >> are you sure this is not a scam? and i said no. no i'm fine, i'm fine. and she said, i think you should check up. check on this. >> it was that warning that finally prompted her to try texting her grandson. hi. >> how are you? how are you doing? and he replied, i'm doing fine. how are you? >> after she spoke to him, she called her daughter lisa. >> she said, i want you to sit down. something horrible has happened. >> i'd heard of it before, but when it actually happened to me, it never occurred to me that it was a scam. >> it's hard to believe that there are people out there who basically are making a living out of scamming older people. >> lisa says she spent four days trying to get a person from coinme on the phone. >> very difficult. >> in an email, the company apologized to lois, but explained due to the nature and design of cryptocurrency, the transactions are irreversible and coin me no longer has the

funds in custody. a sentiment the company echoed in an emailed statement to seven on your side investigates, writing in part, quote, while we work hard to protect our customers through multiple full screen warnings at various stages of the transaction process, we understand the emotional manipulation scammers use to deceive individuals. in cases like this, transactions are instantly sent outside of coinbase's platform, making the funds unrecoverable. coinme also told seven on your side investigates it permanently closed the scammers accounts. >> they just destroy people's lives. they're despicable. >> people. lois suggests families have a secret password or phrase with loved ones, should they ever call with an unlikely story or plea for help. >> well, maybe it won't happen to someone else. >> for seven. on your side investigates melanie woodrow, abc seven news. >> now, if you have a story for seven, on your side investigates, you can head to our website, abc seven news.com/7 on your side to send us a tip so we can help you. more news after the break. >> with chevy trucks, be ready

of us still under these low clouds, as you can see here, this live shot from mount tam. but where we are seeing some clearing is in some of the inland neighborhoods. and that's where the numbers are already in the low 60s, like fairfield, concord, livermore, and then in santa rosa, petaluma and napa, all at 54 degrees right now. so the highs today will be very similar to yesterday's with a bit more sunshine. and that means temperatures will be in the 60s at the beaches around the bay. we'll see 70s and inland areas in the upper seconds. so look for san francisco to hit 67. still cool though. half moon bay with partly cloudy conditions there 61 santa rosa comfortable 84 oakland 70, san jose 81. and we'll see some upper seconds through concord, antioch, livermore. then tonight what you'll notice will be different. not much cloud cover, not much fog. and that's because high pressure is building. open up the windows. let the cool air in. temperatures generally in the 50s, because tomorrow things are going to heat up with a heat advisory starting at 11:00

tomorrow, continuing all the way through wednesday night. temperatures can reach above 105 degrees, and i'll show you that in just a little bit right now. on monday, we'll see some triple digits. and notice even around the bay, we'll see 80s in san francisco and some low 90s. and then tuesday this will be the hottest day of the week. it's going to be sweltering with many areas now forecasted to reach even above 100. so these numbers are very impressive. like santa rosa 105, concord 108, danville, livermore 107. and then notice even around the bay, we'll see 100 in san mateo, hayward, san francisco, 90 degrees tuesday. still hot, but not as bad. so here's a look at livermore highs. typically we're at 83 around this time of year. and notice on tuesday and wednesday will be about 20 degrees above average before a slight cool down towards the end of the week. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. so a
