this october heat wave has been sticking around for a little longer than expected. could we see more hot days to come? good morning everybody. it's sunday, october 6th and lisa has the answer to that question given it's the seventh day now. >> i know it's not like we're getting used to it either, because it's been really oppressive and we have another day today, kind of a half day tomorrow, and then wait till you see the rest of the week. not very fleet week, and i'll explain in a moment. but as we look at the cloud cover there, we'll have batches of clouds. but it is 70 degrees. didn't cool off last night. how about near 80? in los gatos 74, san francisco 62, santa rosa. we are warmer than we were yesterday. 24 hours ago. about seven degrees warmer at the san carlos airport. so the excessive heat warning continues, including the city of san francisco, our inland valleys, the advisory right along the coast in the interior valleys of the north bay. but here's a look at the coast. will be in the 80s today. before that sea breeze returns. so that's a plus, right? we're going to see a return to that onshore flow bay shoreline once
6:02 am
again mid to upper 90s for you around hayward and fremont. low 100 seconds for our inland valleys. and we're going to see temperatures come down dramatically as we get into about tuesday. and then we'll have another system visit us by the end of the week, which could bring the fog and a chance of showers as we get closer to fleet week. stephanie. >> all right, lisa, thank you. and speaking of over in the east bay, it was another scorcher. it felt more like summer than fall and people were finding ways to beat the heat. we continue our coverage with abc seven news reporter anser hassan. >> heather farm in walnut creek was a hot spot for this hot october saturday. >> i've grown up in the area and this is like the hottest it's ever been in the summertime. it's so hot today it's hot, but it's not the summer. >> the east bay continues to be hit with an october heat wave. alder is competing in a swimming tournament at heather farm, but she also swims the san francisco bay so she likes the heat because the bay, the bay water temperature is now a little bit above 60, so it's really nice,
6:03 am
but some people think we're crazy, so what most people think is crazy is the triple digit temperatures in october. you cannot get in this air conditioning fast enough. >> well, you're not lying, buddy. i'm melting out here big time. >> a red flag warning was issued for the east bay hills through saturday morning. and an excessive heat warning for the entire bay area. you like the hot weather? i like it when it's like in the 80s. >> but the 90s is too much. >> sarah coloma with cal fire says the current heat wave could have a big impact on the extra vegetation on the hills from this past wet winter. >> the fuel moistures that we're seeing right now are not out of the ordinary or ordinary, but they are, you know, they're particularly low. >> saturday evening, hundreds attended the sold out pirates of emerson haunted house theme park at the alameda county fairgrounds. some say, regardless of the heat, it's that time of the year to celebrate halloween. the heat. >> yeah, it's 100 degrees, but
6:04 am
it's actually kind of pleasant. it's nice. we like we're enjoying it. not a detractor. all right. thank you i appreciate it. >> you got it in the east bay anser hassan abc7 news. >> and as the bay area sizzles in this october heat wave, many folks were mapping out a plan just to keep cool. and that meant heading for the coast to for some beach time. abc seven news reporter cornell bernard was there 200 runners braving the october heat for the women's half marathon near rodeo beach in marin county? >> race directors say lots of safety precautions were happening on the course, and we have eight stations also in two points. >> so they have water, electrolytes, food in the middle of the way. >> runner patty saijo came from sacramento. >> in fact, that kind of worked as my advantage because i had heard it was going to be warm here. so that was helpful. it's been 100 last week in sacrament, down on rodeo beach, families were pitching tents to escape the heat. >> a cool spot if you could find parking spaces were basically
6:05 am
nonexistent by 11 a.m. >> i think it's the warmest it's been. i mean, we're usually down here in sweatshirts and hoodies up at the marin headlands. >> it was downright hot. some tourists checking out the golden gate bridge were left wondering what happened to the fog. are you wearing a sweater? were you expecting cold weather up here today? >> expecting cold weather. and now i'm using the sweater to keep myself from getting sunburned. but it's just. yeah, i was expecting it to be a lot cooler here today, but it's just we did not check the weather here in san francisco. >> it's early afternoon and i don't even need a jacket that tells you how warm it is. lots of people flocking to ocean beach. temperatures were flirting with 90 degrees. >> today is nice. no jackets. >> stephanie jimenez and her dog buster nosey came to the right place. surfers were loving it. hot weather making the pacific feel almost warm. >> i was talking with my friends and we were like, oh, we couldn't try without wetsuit and probably doesn't feel that cold. so yeah, because the weather is amazing.
6:06 am
>> how often do we get a day like this? >> oh, not often. >> it's not sweater weather yet. warm temperatures continue on sunday in san francisco. cornell, bernard, abc, seven news. >> and you can track the heat wave with the abc seven bay area app. you can follow the forecast with the same live doppler seven tools that lisa and our weather team use. and there you'll find tips to stay cool. we're following developing news in sonoma county. a wildfire broke out just after ten last night near highway one, 16 south and lone pine road. the national interagency fire center says flames have been burning on private land. there's currently no containment status as of this morning. the cause of the fire has yet to be determined. and we'll give more updates as we get them now further up northeast. we're tracking a wildfire burning along the nevada placer county line. the so-called dutch fire has burned at least 45 acres. mandatory evacuation orders have been issued in the area. the fire is burning near forebay dam, not far from blue canyon along
6:07 am
interstate 80, now west of that area and lake county. cal fire says two homes were destroyed and another one was damaged by the so-called glen haven fire. that 400 plus acre blaze broke out friday, forcing evacuations in the community of glen haven. helicopters and retardant dropping aircraft helped stop the spread of the fire. by 10:00 that night, the fire is about 30% contained. a mandatory evacuation order remains in effect in the north bay. stony point road is back open after a deadly crash on saturday afternoon. it happened just after 2:00 at rohnert park expressway and stony point road. chp officers say one woman was declared dead at the scene. according to reports from the press democrat, a man and a baby were also in that same car as the woman, and they were taken to the hospital. the paper reports that three cars may have been involved in this crash altogether, including two that were engaged in road rage, but
6:08 am
that crash is still under investigation. now to the november election, there is another high profile endorsement in the recall effort of alameda county district attorney pamela price. the group leading the effort says every law enforcement union in the county is endorsing the recall. that includes the unions representing sheriff's deputies and officers with cities such as oakland, hayward and fremont, just to name a few. >> and what do they see in this community? they see a continued practice of pamela price releasing the violent criminals that they are catching. >> earlier this week, east bay democratic congressman eric swalwell announced his support for the recall. in a statement, price responded by saying for too long, das have been beholden to these unions, and the result has been a system that neglects the needs of our community and is riddled with racial disparities. i promise to change that, and i'm delivering on that promise. this kind of backlash is to be expected now in the
6:09 am
north bay. a lot of eyes will be on sonoma county's measure j. if passed, it would limit the size of dairies and poultry farms and the impact could go well beyond the bay area. abc seven news reporter tara campbell has a look at what's at stake. come november. >> quite a few of your farms as you know it, will cease to exist. >> frank zamboni is talking about measure j, a sonoma county ballot measure that would phase out what are called concentrated animal feeding operations, or farms where large numbers of animals are confined. >> the big, big changes to most all the ranches in sonoma county. >> he says downsizing would prove devastating for family farms like his, leaving them unable to pay the bills. >> yeah, your dairies a lot of your beef operations, they won't be viable that way. >> and this group rallying saturday in santa rosa agrees. gathering in opposition to measure j. >> we all came out to support our ag community and to make sure that our ag community can
6:10 am
still stay in business and keep us well fed with local, delicious, healthy food. >> all right, lead the way. >> meanwhile, those in support of the measure were also getting their message out saturday in santa rosa. >> factory farming hurts all of us. it hurts our environment. it hurts our public health. it pushes small farm, small family farms out. and it most of all hurts the animals. >> measure j garnering attention far beyond the borders of sonoma county with the outcome potentially impacting farmers across the u.s. >> very important. not just for protecting the environment here in sonoma county, the animals and everyone here, but for setting a precedent that can launch the end of factory farming all over the country. >> berkeley will also be voting on a similar measure in november, but it's a symbolic effort, as the city has no commercial livestock farms. tara campbell abc seven news. >> all right. as we head to break, let's check in with lisa. >> okay. as we look outside,
6:11 am
this is from emeryville. of course. it was 97. downtown oakland yesterday, 93 at the airport. and we've got more 90s in store today, starting out very mild, 60s and 70s around the bay. we do see an end to this heat wave. this is day seven. it could be as soon as today for some of you. all the details coming up. >> lisa. thank you. also ahead, israel, one year later, the somber anniversary of the
6:14 am
the heat wave continues. lisa will tell you for how much longer coming up. the cal bears played the miami hurricanes on saturday, but the outcome of the game is probably secondary to what happened earlier in the day. you may have seen it on our morning show. espn's college gameday made its first ever visit to berkeley, and it was wild. take a look at this video. it was taken just after midnight when crowds stormed the barricades at memorial glade in order to get into position for that broadcast, and while some described it as chaos and criticized the lack of security, in the end the university is calling the overall event a success. abc seven news reporter j.r stone shows us the fired up cal fan base, who we held the most cal. >> oh, espn college game day personality pat mcafee hyping
6:15 am
the cal crowd with nfl great and cal bears alum marshawn lynch. >> beast mode all for the first time ever in berkeley. >> we're here all day, all night. and there's nothing that's going to stop us from having a great time. go, bears! >> that interview came during one of our live shots on abc seven mornings. i saw you're done with your breakfast sandwich. you came for the food earlier? >> yes. it's fun to be out here. i mean, it's awesome. like, they didn't think that cal had any fans. this proved them wrong. >> thousands showed up, but perhaps the most energetic and diehard fans, the students. what time did you guys get here? >> we got here at 1130, and we're pumped. let's go. >> you got no shirts on? you think they have a chance? you think cal's got a chance? of course, of course. >> we got janus. we have fernando mendoza. we're winning this game. let's go! fans! go, bears! >> i'm so excited. this is amazing. i've never seen so much spirit. so many people show up
6:16 am
for cal. >> and when you get excited, you get the muffins out and you're like, let's do this out. >> so spirits are high. love it. >> beyond los osos, which means go bears in spanish. >> welcome to california. there's nothing that's going to stop me from having energy from 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. we were born and raised to have a great time. >> let's go bears! but it seems that some who got here friday night didn't quite make it through to the 6 to 9 a.m. college gameday broadcast. maybe next time, my man. after seeing this turnout and these signs which said things like you couldn't get into cal and if we lose all protest, i think there's a good chance the crew will come back a second time. >> it's pretty wild to see so many people just from the bay area. go, bears! yeah, exactly. this is super exciting. i also really wasn't expecting this many people to show up, but i'm really glad. >> i'm sure they'll be happy. >> j.r. stone abc seven news. >> a pretty remarkable crowd and some talent. take a look at thi.
6:17 am
this was a field goal worth $100,000. kicked by a cal student wearing vans. that's daniel villasenor who made that 33 yard field goal on his second attempt during the college gameday broadcast. and according to our media partners at the bay area news group, he is a civil engineering major. and he told the mercury news that he used to play soccer for livermore high school, but had never kicked footballs from that distance ever before. that kick, also raised $600,000 for hurricane helene relief. amazing to see daniel. also amazing. you know this guy marshawn lynch, the one and only beast mode was the celebrity guest picker on game day. and of course, he arrived in style. the cal legend rolled up in a golf cart. this is a call back to 2006, actually, when he drove around the field at memorial stadium on a golf cart to celebrate a win. now, some more fun news. san francisco's fleet week starts tomorrow. one of the city's most
6:18 am
notable events is returning for its 43rd year residents and visitors can prepare for a variety of week long events, highlighting and honoring the u.s. military. now, some activities include ship tours, fleet fest, the silent drill platoon, the parade of ships, and of course, the popular air shows. events. kick off tomorrow and will run until monday, october 14th. now, tomorrow will come with the heat at least the last day of this heat wave, or at least more or less. >> we're still going to see hot weather on monday inland, but not as hot, and the cooling really gets underway around the bay. so yes, we've been talking about that ending the heat, and then we're going to set our sights on the east coast, where we have a major hurricane that could be impacting florida as soon as wednesday. here's a look at live doppler seven, where we have the cloud cover moving in just high clouds. and as we go through the day, you'll notice them once again. but it's still
6:19 am
going to be hot out there. this is what's going on in the gulf now. there's flooding going on from a different system in florida. and this is tropical storm milton with winds of 60 miles an hour. it's moving to the east. it's going to move across the gulf here. and strengthen quickly from a category two to a category three. and it could hit tampa saint pete as soon as wednesday. and we're talking about double the effects of helene with storm surge power outages. so this looks to be a very big deal come the middle of the week. we'll be watching it. and you notice it turns out to sea here. so it's been quite some time since tampa has seen such a big impact from a hurricane. and it looks likely that this will be a big cause for an alarm as we get into the next couple of days. 70s out there right now in the city and we were at 95 yesterday downtown. how about 97 in oakland? we'll have the heat again along the bay shore and inland, but we are expecting
6:20 am
that onshore flow to return. so as we warm up quickly into the 80s, we will see a more comfortable night right along the coast. downtown san francisco still under an excessive heat warning today, but depending on when that southerly surge happens that could be dropped. we could get into the cooler sea breeze throughout the afternoon, or it could take towards the evening hours and then major relief arriving into tuesday. there's a look at the batch of high clouds throughout the day, and then we'll see that fog trying to reform reform into early monday. but it's going to take throughout the day on tuesday, and then we'll get that push inland. but look what happens throughout the first part of the week. we've got that system on tap that's going to cool us off well to the north of us. but then by the second half of the workweek system gets closer, we could see some sprinkles into saturday. so fleet week not looking hot at this point. there's a look at the castro street fair today. this is going to be hot with mid and upper 80s throughout the afternoon. but then the winds shift and we'll
6:21 am
see the warm sea breeze throughout the late afternoon. and hottest game ever 100 degrees inside the stadium. there san jose 100 degrees santa clara. so you're not getting any relief today. 102 in concord. look for 96 in oakland. so once again, very hot from hayward to fremont to union city. 102 in santa rosa will reach that high temperature in san francisco. counting on that sea breeze at some point today. and then cooler conditions. as we get into your monday, we'll still be in the upper 90s to near 100, but that fog and the sea breeze coming in around the bay shore, and then as we get into tuesday, wednesday, we're back to where we should be for this time of year. and watching that system. stephanie friday night into saturday. so that's exciting, a big change. >> yeah, it's interesting to see the 86 thinking that's the that's the cool down. >> it's still going to be it's been a long summer right now. yeah. >> thanks liz. well still ahead a woman water bikes to the largest seabird nesting colony south of alaska. and yes, it's
6:24 am
on good morning america. >> good morning. coming up here on gma. caught on camera. flames spewing from a frontier airlines jet as it lands in las vegas. the fireball erupting as the plane touched down in a hard landing. what? passengers and the airline are saying this morning. and southeast strong. our gio benitez field anchoring from outside asheville, north carolina hearing stories of heroism as national guard troops fly hundreds of missions bringing life saving relief to the hurricane ravaged region. all this as another hurricane now threatens to hit florida and black friday shopping in october. the retailer is offering early sales to kick off the holiday shopping season. that's all coming up right here
6:25 am
on gma. >> we're on track to building a better bay area, and a new facility is helping this cause by fighting climate change in an innovative way by creating renewable energy. a plant located next to keller canyon landfill near pittsburgh is supplying power to thousands of people by converting large waste into renewable natural gas. here's how it works. organic material is dumped to convert the landfill or biogas into electricity on the site. now that electricity is then used to power the renewable natural gas plant. eventually the renewable natural gas is piped to a p-g-and-e's receiver station about three miles away. from there, it enters the utility's massive pipeline system. it's a strategy designed to repurpose a dangerous greenhouse gas. well, a history making journey took place this week from sausalito to the farallon islands by a local woman via water bike. and as abc seven news reporter dion lim found out, this was a ride
6:26 am
for a greater cause. >> i think a lot of people thought i was crazy. >> that could be said about jessica schiller's dream of starting a water bike company ten years ago, and definitely about her latest life challenge, the first ever bike ride to the farallon islands, 60 miles from the golden gate bridge to the southeast farallon islands. a water bike challenge. no one has taken on before for a reason. >> i knew that there was going to be rough seas, strong currents, wind and of course it's great white shark migration season. >> so starting before sunrise friday, schiller began her grueling trek. >> the equivalent to this on land would be like doing probably 150 miles straight on land with a special someone always on her mind, pushing her forward. i call this naomi's ride in honor of the promise i made to my daughter naomi, who sadly passed away from a fentanyl overdose in july of 2022. >> that promise came true in ten hours. >> i felt her when i was there, when i had made it to the
6:27 am
islands, and i really my first, my first emotion was i broke down and cried. >> proceeds from schiller's ride will go toward the nonprofit shatterproof, which fights the addiction crisis in america. but beyond that, schiller hopes her journey serves an even bigger purpose to all. >> i hope the lasting impact from this is that it just inspires people and inspires people to get out of their shell, to do something that you didn't think was possible, to really step out of your comfort zone. and that's the way we grow as human beings. >> certainly an inspiring journey for an important cause. that was diane lim reporting. and you can learn more about jessica schiller, her water bikes and fundraising efforts in this story over on our website, abc7 news.com. well, still to come. this morning we are live in tel aviv on the eve of the anniversary of the october 7th attacks, the state of the escalating conflict in the middle east. and former president trump returns to the scene where a gunman tried to assassinate him back in july, and where vice president kamala harris will be this week
6:30 am
telling you earlier how i was struggling to sleep last night. i was looking up ways to stay cool while falling asleep, and one of the tips was to put a frozen water bottle under your pillow. now, i didn't do it, but i want to do it tonight. now? >> yeah, i don't know about that. that's interesting. >> yeah, we need it. >> yes. so yes. and tonight you may need that. and most places around the bay, because we're at day seven. but first let's check out this gorgeous sunrise from mount tam where the sun comes up at 710. it's six sets at 644. current temperatures. wow. 71. san francisco and hayward, 70. in san jose, we're 60 one half moon bay. and from emeryville this morning, that's pretty reflecting off the bay. 62 santa rosa 57 petaluma with mid 60s in our inland valleys. so everyone
6:31 am
is warmer. so with that warmer start it's a hot finish. our excessive heat warning continues for the city of san francisco, the east bay, the peninsula, the south bay. our heat watch is for our interior. north bay and right along the shoreline. look how quickly we warm up. once again, we're expecting some high clouds. this is noontime, low to mid 90s inland. and then we're expecting that sea breeze, but not before we get those 80s along the coast. triple digits again inland. and the game today 100 degrees in santa clara. stephanie. all right lisa. >> thank you. we're following developing news now out of the middle east. israel launching an attack of missiles in southern beirut overnight. it went on for several hours. witnesses saying that they saw at least eight missiles, including some near the airport. israel has been expanding its actions in lebanon, warning residents to flee that area. and new reports from hospital officials in gaza say an israeli strike on a mosque and a school in central
6:32 am
gaza killed 25 people overnight. the israeli military claims that the hamas command center was in that compound. now this all comes on the anniversary of the october 7th attack, where hamas invaded and murdered hundreds of israelis in their homes. abc seven news reporter josh iyengar from our sister station in new york, is live in tel aviv right now, and he's telling us the latest on the state of the country nearly one year later. josh. reporter. >> it's not good. stephanie. and in fact, there's more new developing news, really just in the last few minutes to a half hour where there's been another suspected terrorist attack in the south of israel in a city called beersheba. one person was killed, a 25 year old woman shot as many as ten others injured at a bus station in what's being treated as a suspected terrorist attack. this is the state of play here in israel and in fact, all across the middle east. this, as this beleaguered country approaches and honors
6:33 am
the one year anniversary of the day. all of this started fankhauser in the place now and forever known as hostage square. commemorations for the anniversary of october 7th are taking on an especially muted tone, with large gatherings across israel curtailed under the threat of attack from iran. but a full year after the hamas massacre, after 1200 people were slaughtered, 100 are still in captivity in gaza, seven of them american. >> on one hand, it's like a year, but it's more like a groundhog day that you wake up each day and it's a continuous day over and over and over again. >> ruby han's son itai among them. the idf believes the 19 year old dual national, a soldier on the border, was killed when hamas fighters poured across his body, carried back to gaza today, his dad and other families met with u.s. ambassador jack lew with a crucial message. >> at some point, you need to
6:34 am
think of maybe different ways to get to the objective of all the hostages, but specifically the us hostages that this administration has an obligation to get them out. and we urge the administration to think of everything possible to get them out. >> but it's no easy task as the region inches more and more down the path to all out war. overnight, israel pummeled beirut's southern suburbs in its ongoing campaign to destroy hezbollah, and the middle east is bracing for prime minister benjamin netanyahu's response to tuesday's onslaught of iranian ballistic missiles fired into israel's densely populated center. and we're back in tel aviv with hopefully clearer audio. by the way, the world now is holding its breath, waiting to see what netanyahu and his war cabinet choose to do vis a vis iran. they could go after that country's nukes, they could go after its oil. but there's also a hope in some corners that they go smaller and they go for something that's less inflammatory and less
6:35 am
likely to provoke a ferocious response from iran. the only thing that's clear is that whatever happens is likely to happen soon. we're live in tel aviv this morning. josh einiger abc seven news. stephanie. >> well, josh, certainly a lot developing. iran's foreign minister said on friday any cease fire in lebanon should be simultaneous with gaza. and as you pointed out earlier, there's a lot going on with negotiations. what's the latest between idf, netanyahu and hamas officials? >> yeah, it's a good question, stephanie. it's not entirely clear the specific state of play, but the cease fire negotiations on both fronts, it's two separate issues. there's the north, there's with lebanon and hezbollah, and there's the gaza situation, which involves the return of hostages and both have lately been stalled. so it's unclear what will break the logjam. today, israel was once again pummeling southern beirut, hezbollah strongholds and also today they were once again pummeling northern gaza areas
6:36 am
where hamas, they said, had reconstituted a command center in what had been a mosque. and so the activity is still very kinetic, very aggressive and it seems hard to imagine that we're headed to a cease fire in either of these locations, much less both at the same time. but of course, much of the world, including those hostage families, are really hoping that that perhaps the anniversary sparks some progress there. >> yeah, all of this as we mark this somber anniversary. josh, thank you for your reporting. and stay safe. people across the bay area will rally today to commemorate the ongoing crisis in gaza. this is video from a protest last year here in san francisco. demonstrators will rally across the city again to demand an immediate ceasefire. the march will start at 16th and valencia streets today at 1:00. organizers are calling for the biden administration to enact an arms embargo against israel.
6:37 am
this comes ahead of the one year anniversary of hamas's attack in israel. since then, more than 40,000 palestinians have been killed. now, thousands of protesters have taken to the streets around the world ahead of the war's anniversary. demonstrators gathered in franc, indonesia and germany overnight. many pro-palestinian protesters marched with flags and held signs calling for a cease fire in the middle east. several major cities across europe are on high alert amid concerns the escalating war could inspire new terror attacks. now, pope francis has called for october 7th to be a day of prayer and fasting for peace. the pope is scheduled to visit the basilica of saint mary ahead of the one year anniversary. a commission of bishops from the european union have also rallied around the pope's calls for peace. the group says it's concerned with the resurgence of anti-semitism, radicalization and xenophobia
6:38 am
since the start of the war in the middle east. back here at home, your voice, your vote. as election day nears, both campaigns are focused on key swing states. former president trump returned to butler, pennsylvania, for a rally, this time with more security, and vice president harris visited north carolina to see hurricane helene's destruction firsthand. here's abc news reporter chuck sivertsen. >> former president donald trump returned to the site of his first assassination attempt in butler, pennsylvania, on saturday. >> i want to just let you know that tonight i returned to butler in the aftermath of tragedy and heartache, heightened security felt across the fairgrounds with visible secret service snipers poised on top of buildings. >> trump thanking them for saving his life. >> and in that moment, those agents displayed a devotion to duty that cannot be described. and they did it yet again. less than three weeks ago. >> meanwhile, vice president
6:39 am
harris traveled to charlotte, north carolina, on saturday to survey the devastation left behind by hurricane helene. after a briefing at the charlotte air national guard base, she visited a local donation center. >> and we're putting just all hands on deck. thank you. to make sure that you and your family and your neighbors and everyone have everything that they need. >> former president trump also visited areas hard hit by helene, appearing with georgia's republican governor brian kemp on friday for the first time since trump bashed him for standing by georgia's 2020 election results. chuck sivertsen, abc news, new york. >> speaking of vice president harris and her running mate tim walz will go on a media run this week. some of those major media interviews will include the howard stern show, the view and the late show with stephen colbert. the stream of interviews take place before they head to the west coast for early voting. now, coming up on this week after hurricane helene devastated the southeastern u.s, abc news anchor george stephanopoulos interviews fema administrator deanne criswell

closed in the 1980s, it was later filled in to create what is now cesar chavez park. the question today, how much industrial waste did stauffer chemical actually dump at the site? and did any of it contain unsafe radiation while the documents provide clues, some are concerned they may not tell the whole story. >> so we don't have a lot of confidence that this is an accurate depiction of the quantity of material that was taken. it may be a hint about the types of materials that were dumped there. >> to gauge the risk, berkeley is teaming up with the university of california to launch a high tech aerial survey. pilots will fly over the park using a drone equipped with a sensitive spectrometer able to detect radiation. >> we feel like they've got a good technology they're leveraging, but we also got a plan to validate the results. and yet this would be phenomenal. >> the survey is scheduled to last most of the week. different
6:45 am
sections of the park will be closed off as they're being surveyed. several park users told us the inconvenience seems worth it if they want to use the spectrometry and the drone to check the levels here, and then if that could be ameliorated as appropriate, then that would be wonderful. activists like sherry padgett also welcomed the survey, but also warn there could be significant detective work ahead. >> and it's gps coordinate coordinates. so you know exactly where you're getting a higher level than others. and yes, it is reassuring on the surface level. >> the city says park safety is the first concern, but in a broad sense, the survey could also help document the potential effects of a toxic legacy that stretches for miles along the east bay shoreline. a ghost from the bay area's industrial past buried half a century ago. dan ashley, abc seven news.

6:53 am
is going to be dangerously hot all around the bay area again today. we have our excessive heat warnings in the same spots they've been extended through 11:00, except right at the coast. so a few batches of clouds here and there. beautiful view here. 71 in san francisco, already quite mild, in fact, yesterday's mid 90s, we only cooled off. we cooled off 20 degrees, 25 degrees, but not enough with that warm start. it is a very quick warm up today for hardly strictly festival where we will be in the upper 80s. it's 70 in san jose, 60 three half moon bay. we saw 80s there yesterday was 95 stinson beach. another day where we'll be close to 90 there. 62 by the delta and santa rosa. the changes come in right at the coast. a sea breeze is expected. you can see the high clouds there from the golden gate bridge. the million dollar question is, when is that onshore flow going to return? so we're hot bay and inland today. the coastal fog will develop late, but that afternoon sea breeze will allow for those
6:54 am
temperatures to not quite get into the 90s. i think at the coast more like mid and upper 80s and then relief for everyone tomorrow. moderate relief and then big time relief on tuesday with the building marine layer. so there's the batch of clouds this morning. another batch throughout the afternoon. and then we'll see some more high clouds overnight and some patchy fog at the coast. and then that low cloud deck really begins to form and we get a stronger winds into monday as well. here's a look at the winds today. they're light but at the coast will be up to about 22 miles an hour. that's why you get that relief later in the day. and then the winds dial back. they are flat in the morning, and then by the afternoon up to 30 miles an hour. and even that, nearly 20 mile an hour sea breeze out towards our east bay. so that will certainly trim temperatures back. erase some of those triple digits santa cruz into the 90s, and then you're going to get that southerly surge. so the fog coming up from monterey to santa cruz, and then it may stop, but we will feel that onshore flow.
6:55 am
so temperatures from the 80s ocean beach stinson will be warmer at around 90. and then things will cool off a little bit tonight a little bit better. 98 in santa clara to 100in san jose. 95. milpitas on the peninsula. we're in the mid to upper 90s once again, so no changes there that week. late day sea breeze coming into play. 89 downtown. so that is a few degrees cooler than yesterday. hoping for that southerly surge to get going. 100in sonoma and on the bay shore here. much of the same with mid upper 90s for you and low 100 seconds inland with 105. in brentwood, 101 to about 102 in pleasanton. the accuweather seven day forecast sunny, hot again today. spare the air alert. the heat continues, but not as bad. tomorrow we'll get breezier winds in the afternoon and then temperatures really come down on tuesday. and then as we get into the second half of the workweek, expecting another system by the end of the week could
