we are just a couple degrees cooler in san jose and in novato by four degrees. but we are warmer by a degree or so inland. so here's the plan. throughout the morning hours, we're mild to the warm side as we get through our early morning hours. and then by about ten, 11:00, we'll continue the climb into the 70s and 80s. but as we get towards the afternoon, although we're going to see about 100 degrees inland, notice temperatures will not be in the 80s at the coast. we're going to reach 90 around the bay shore, but that's an improvement compared to the upper 90s yesterday. so from the coast to around the bay we have a cooldown in store, not as hot inland. and then we're going to talk about a return to the fog tomorrow. and how about some rain arriving in the bay area by the end of the week? i'll explain in a few minutes. what a change. >> thank you so much, lisa. we have a look at your traffic for this morning and so far you can see our map here mostly in the green. no major issues this morning, just that usual slowdown there at the altamont pass that we see quite often this time of the morning and

wednesday. winds will make it up to at least 150 miles an hour. as it is south of tampa, and we'll continue to track on off towards the east. so certainly some dangerous conditions there where we'll be looking at anywhere from about five inches of rain in miami, more than that as you head up towards the west coast of florida. no advisories today, although it is hazy out there and you can see the air quality is moderate throughout the east bay and south bay. temperatures are warm to mild out there 77 in san rafael, 62 in danville. it's 60 in napa and in the south bay. today we had that 101 103 there from santa clara to san jose today, coming down into the mid 90s. but upper 90s from morgan hill to gilroy on the peninsula, upper 80s to about 90, we've got that afternoon sea breeze on the way. so that's going to make a huge difference with temperatures about ten degrees cooler from san francisco, mid 80s there, upper 80s across the bay in oakland, mid to upper 90s up here in the north bay. so as we

head towards day eight of this heat wave, our excessive heat warnings have been replaced with heat advisories. so still very hot, still above average, but definitely cooler than yesterday. we're hoping for that. we're planning on that. but those triple digits keeping it toasty in our inland valleys. the trend continues and we'll add in the clouds and rain chances by the end of the week. >> all right lisa, thank you. coming up, the seven things to know this morning. >> a very las vegas goodbye. we'll tell

bay where numbers will reach 100 degrees. but we will see the numbers cooler than yesterday. so instead of that 97, in oakland, we'll be looking at temperatures in the mid 80s. there along the bay shore in san francisco should be about 84 today. the coast into the 70s. so we'll increase that onshore flow, reform the marine layer in the next 24 hours, bring the temperatures down for the rest of the week, and then introduce rain chances. so we do have it all, but still a hot one today for most of us. so take care with that and you should know that with the rain chances it's not going to be a lot, but it will potentially be impacting fleet week. gloria. >> lisa, thank you very much. we're looking at your traffic for this morning. and so far this monday morning. it has been pretty quiet out there. if you take a live look at your golden gate bridge camera, you can see not too many cars on the road this morning yet. it is early, of course, and we also are not seeing any issues with fog there as we do some mornings. looking right now at our mass transit for today, if you take bart,

flowing, though. from highway four to san francisco. it will take you 39 minutes a journey across the water by bike. >> the reason behind this woman's trek from sausalito to the farallon islands. but first, a check on the weather with lisa. >> all right. our heat is going to be backing off a bit today, but we still have our excessive heat. watch for the entire bay area. so this is in the orange. everyone is encompassed in this. still could see some records in our inland valleys from concord over into san jose today, as will probably reach 100 again, but 90s here in the south bay and temperatures dropping off as much as ten degrees closer to the coast. for more 70s as an onshore flow continues. so we'll be in and out of some of the high clouds. but right now, notice the numbers have not dropped off that much from san francisco, where we're 7577, in san rafael. hayward is at 72, but we have temperatures in the seconds, half moon bay and is

59. in santa rosa. so looking at that offshore flow to weaken still about 20 degrees above average today for those heat advisories across the entire bay except the coast. and we will be looking at that afternoon sea breeze influencing our weather for san francisco, oakland, the shoreline, even parts of the north bay. so we'll see 80s instead of that 97 downtown and then a chance of showers by next saturday. sunday looks to be the better day for fleet week. this is tomorrow where we'll be in the low to mid 90s, really erasing that heat into wednesday. even below average for thursday as well. so as we get into the second half of the workweek, we're expecting another progressive system just like we did this for the first part of the week. but this one that sinks further south. so we'll be watching that in terms of today, your high temperatures in the mid 80s in san francisco, 89 in oakland, upper 90s in santa rosa, still 100 inland. but boy, we're getting a bit of

i only meant to order five. there's not enough money in my account for these. i'm gonna get charged. two things i just can't deal with. overdraft charges. and garden gnomes. but your bmo smart advantage checking account gives you an extra day to avoid an overdraft fee. nice to see a bank cutting people some slack. mistakes happen. and we give you time to correct them. so, you don't like gnomes huh? what about that one? that one i like. a lot. ♪ bmo ♪

a power outage. tourists with tickets for today were relieved to learn the island reopened. officials have not said what caused the outage. alcatraz's main prison is set to undergo a major renovation, which is expected to be completed in the summer of 2027. and a history making journey right here in the bay area. a local woman went from sausalito to the farallon islands via water bike. abc seven news reporter dion lim has her story. >> 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 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. >> that's an incredible story. my heart really goes out to her. that's a huge loss. >> and i think it definitely just seeing her there inspires a conversation. i know that she was talking a lot about the inspiration behind it, but so many people don't realize what she's doing it for and the seriousness and what she's raising money for as well. so that's fantastic. >> yeah, by the way, that is her company, that that bike thing that she created. yeah. and she said people laughed at her when she first made it. but look, she made it all the way out to the farallon islands. >> that is so neat. she had a hot weekend, but at least the water wasn't as cold as it normally is out there. >> yeah, shark season, but the critters are everywhere. yeah, that's for sure. okay. well, certainly has been lots of relief. people have found at the coast and today temperatures coming down. they're coming down just about everywhere. here's the reason why our excessive heat warning has been downgraded

to an excessive heat. watch until 11:00 tonight. temperatures up to 100 degrees. so that is better than that 106 in san rafael. and that 103 in the south bay. but we still could see some records today in the east bay, in the south bay. and you notice the advisory is lifted for the extreme shoreline, where we're going to see 70 today at our beaches, all in response to a system that is pushing into the pacific northwest. we get a return to an onshore flow and that you will feel on the peninsula san francisco today. so instead of that 97 in the city, we'll see mid 80s and out of the triple digits over in oakland right now, though, it is very mild downtown 75. it is 57 though. half moon bay. it is three degrees cooler in san jose at 68 this morning and a few degrees cooler up in the north bay. santa rosa is at 5960 in napa. and looking at our wind flow today, this really tells the story as well. the winds kicking up along the coast will be moving faster, 20 to 25 miles an hour by the afternoon and a bit

of a breeze getting inside the bay. taking it further into your tuesday where the winds will be up to 30 miles an hour and we really will begin to see the temperatures near average, then below average. so today in the south bay, 94, in san jose, day eight of our heat wave, 93 in milpitas. not as hot today on the peninsula. definitely feeling a bit better throughout the afternoon with low to mid 80s. san mateo about 90. in redwood city. it's been in the upper 90s to near 100 there the past several days. 84 downtown. looking at those upper 70s in the sunset and in the north bay. and it really is going to be another scorcher for you. where temperatures will be at or near 100, but still better. yesterday we saw over 100 degrees. in fact, it's been over 100 through the weekend last week up in san rafael central. marin has been very warm and berkeley will be into the mid 80s. today. it was 100 yesterday in oakland, 89 today, union city in the 90s here. so an improvement. but inland we're going to have to

wait another day. still triple digits for concord at 100 pleasanton 99. so it has been not only excessively hot the last several days, but we haven't really had a break this summer. the good news is that onshore flow is weakening. we're looking at slight cooling today in the accuweather seven day forecast features. the temperatures moderating another ten degrees for your tuesday morning fog overspreading the entire area on wednesday. with the cooling continuing, we'll add in the chance of showers as we get towards late friday into saturday. sunday looks sunnier. better day for fleet week if we're going that far out, but still a long ways out. >> okay lisa. thank you. new at six post pandemic success, the san francisco neighborhood touting a boom in sales this year. >> but first, a sequel is coming. the movie actress anne hathaway confirms, is now in production. >> we've been known. here's a live look outside. it's 551. we'll be right back.
