>> yeah, definitely a bummer. not talking any more about that. all right. our decline of the temperatures. it's beginning today. so our excessive heat warnings are being replaced with an excessive heat watch. we had all that red. now we have the orange. we're still about 20 degrees above average. and we could still see records in our east bay and south bay. but we will be away from that 106 in san rafael. we won't see the triple digits in san jose and temperatures about ten degrees cooler along the coast, five degrees cooler elsewhere. and that's all because of a system moving into the pacific northwest in response to that, we get an onshore flow. this afternoon we were hoping for that the past couple of days, and the temperatures just increased obviously over the weekend. but we're going to see that southerly surge and a couple of systems arriving this week. moderate air quality, east bay and south bay. so still, with that heat in place, it's going to take another day to improve things. have that more widespread improvement. 72 in hayward. it's 76 in san rafael.

our forecast highlights near 100 inland cooler at the coast with that afternoon sea breeze and a chance of showers by the weekend. so looking at temperatures one more day at the beach, look how much cooler, though. 73 pacifica 83 in stinson. so we're looking at the temperatures at least ten, maybe 15 degrees cooler at the shoreline. so we have that first system and then stopping this on thursday, we've got that second system that wants to bring in some showers here for saturday. and it looks like it could spread further south than the north bay. so stay tuned for that. highs today from 84 downtown with upper 80s in palo alto, mid to upper 90s inland and check out the cooldown. it's going to be a nice week. >> reggie we deserve it. thank you lisa. honoring first responders the event san francisco held for dozens of police officers who helped after the shooting of 40 niners rookie ricky pearsall. also, fleet week festivities. the blue angels in the bay area

one. yeah, yeah, yeah, we're getting there, we're getting there, we're getting out of this heat today. slowly. we still have an excessive heat watch, but that is replaced by our excessive heat warning. so it's downgraded and it's been lifted along the coast we're seeing elements of change already with temperatures dropping off into the 50s along the shoreline. it's still going to be hot and above average inland. and we will see temperatures perhaps flirting with records again today, but this system will cool us off for the first half of the week. and then we're looking at another system that will allow for even cooler weather by the end of the week. maybe some showers and breezy winds kicking up as soon as tomorrow. right now it is mild to warm out there. 76 in san rafael. looking at 60s from the peninsula, mid 60s in vallejo. it has certainly not cooled off night after night. but as we get into the afternoon, the winds kick up along the coast. so this is an indicator and the direction of the winds to allow for the cool down today. so by the late day we're at 25 miles an hour. and

then even a breeze inside the bay. a cool breeze, not a warm breeze. and then as we get into your tuesday, the winds continue to build and so does the marine layer. and so we'll wake up to that patchy fog. and in fact, temperatures coming down a bit below average as we get towards wednesday. so some low 90s for your tuesday notice we're back into the 60s at the shoreline 70s today and then into wednesday mid and upper 80s. looking at thursday, temperatures down into the low 80s. so certainly doing a 180 by the second half of the workweek. and so these systems in the pacific northwest pretty progressive pretty reminiscent of fall and so as we go through the second half of the week, that system is going to sink to the south. and that could allow for some showers into the bay area on saturday 93 today in santa clara yesterday it was 103, in san jose, 94 today still with an excessive heat watch on the peninsula. upper 80s to about 90. so that's cooler with the sea breeze. 84 downtown up

in the north bay. we're in the mid to upper 90s. another warm day for you. and on the bay shore we won't have that 100 today in oakland. how about near 90 in inland will be in the triple digits but not as hot as yesterday. the accuweather seven day forecast looking at temperatures moderating tomorrow the fog returns the marine layer builds, it cools, and we could be looking at some showers. but sunday looking like the sunnier and drier day for next weekend. >> all right lisa thank you. now let's turn to ginger zee. she's live in redington shores, florida with a look at what's coming up on gma. >> ginger i'm sure you have an important message this morning. i cannot believe this is happening again. so soon. >> again into this same area. reggie aqui amanda i'm standing on a street, one of so many here around tampa bay that still is lined with debris up and down. i mean, they have not been able to not only take a breath or a res, they're exhausted, but they haven't been able to clean up and now this was from the record storm surge of helene in less

than two weeks later, we could have another major landfalling hurricane. right now, milton just rapidly intensified. and i mean drop in pressure like some of the biggest that we've ever seen since records began. it is a cat four, 150 mile per hour max sustained winds. the only good news is it's still more than 700 miles away from us here in tampa bay. the bad news? it's headed for us here along the gulf coast of florida. so we will be tracking it. we'll be talking about the impacts, which again include catastrophic storm surge, meaning the kind that moves homes, the kind that moves cars, talking about the kind that's well over my head. and it's not just the insult to injury here, but a much broader area and even all the way down to fort myers preparing for that type of storm surge. they've been so hard hit from ian a couple of years ago.y watching , a lot of folks have friends on the east coast or orlando. they'll have hurricane force gusts possible with this flash flood issues with up to 15in of rain. and throughout gma you sa, oh my gosh, we're doing this again. but we still haven't even followed up. now. appalachia.

thankfully not in milton's path but we do have southeast strong. we're going to be highlighting volunteers and other groups that are still getting into the areas that don't have water or electricity, probably for months. and we're giving away some big money. so hopefully you get to see all of that coming up here on gma. we're going to have a rough next 72 hours here in florida. >> ginger i was looking at your instagram this morning and looking at that path. and the storm surge amounts. so are you still thinking this is going to be a higher storm surge than what they just saw with helene? >> yes, absolutely. i think that we could easily see and it's in a different area. it's further south, more population in these areas. and so that's the big difference is if right now the center line goes over to sarasota and we're not going to put a center on it, but if that happens, sarasota, bradenton, venice, down to punta gorda and cape coral-fort myers is on that right side where the water pushes and pushes one tick north. if this goes into, say, tarpon springs or something like that, which is on that kind of

north of clearwater. tampa bay takes that direct onshore flow for a long time. wednesday night into thursday. high tide is early thursday morning. that combo. it's unprecedented. >> well, that is a whole lot of concern. and of course we'll be thinking good thoughts over the next few days. i know this is going to be a rough week for those folks in florida. thank you, and we'll be watching you, when you have moderate to severe eczema, it's okay to show off. with dupixent, show off your clearer skin and less itch. because you have plenty of reasons to show off your skin. with dupixent, the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists and allergists, you can stay ahead of your eczema. it helps block a key source of inflammation inside the body that can cause eczema to help heal your skin from within. many adults saw 90% clearer skin, some even achieved long-lasting clearer skin and fast itch relief after first dose.

temperature change five degrees cooler at the coast, and we are just a couple degrees warmer around the bay. but we will be looking for an improvement toda. so despite that watch we will see temperatures 5 to 10 degrees cooler still. perhaps we could see some records from the east bay to the south bay, as you notice, will be as hot as 100 degrees, but around the bay instead of those upper 90s to 100 will be in the upper 80s and then relief at the coast. so we'll be talking about below average temperatures for the middle part of the week. and rain chances by the end of the week. gloria. >> yeah, you know, so far it's looking pretty good out there on the roads as far as your drive times for this morning, just those usual slowdowns from highway four to the maze. 28 minutes emeryville to san francisco, 27 minutes san francisco to sfo ten minutes. we are tracking a couple of incidents in dublin on southbound 680 before bernal avenue, a two vehicle accident is blocking the left lane. right now. the backup is to 580 and the speeds are down to pretty slow there about nine miles per

hour, 21mph. so it will take you a little longer to get through that area. you can take foothill road to get around and then altamont pass. we know that's usually a slow area. anyway, about this time of the morning, we do have a two car crash on westbound 580 after 205, and there are no lanes that are blocked, but it is causing a slow down because again, that area is already slow. anyway. reggie. >> okay, gloria. new developments in the recall against oakland mayor xiang tao this weekend. she launched her own campaign to save her job. and we're going to go right back to gloria to talk about this. apparently, her supporters say that every person who's elected should have the right to do their job. and we'll see what happens, because we only have a few more weeks until this campaign has to come to a conclusion. that's right, reggie. >> and that new campaign, it's called oaklanders defending democracy to urge people to vote no on the recall effort against mayor sheng tao. it comes less

than a month before voters will decide whether to remove her from office and take this no more. >> we're not going to take it laying down. we're going to vote no on the recall. we're going to let her do her work. and i promise you, in two more years, you let her do the work. you're going to reelect mayor shane powell for mayor. give her a hand. i'm waiting for the reelection now, let's get ready for the reelection. >> the mayor and her supporters held a rally at the rockridge bart station yesterday. oaklanders defending democracy posted this video on x saying that they are distributing thousands of fliers for a no vote on the recall since taking office. supporters say that mayor tao has taken significant steps to improve public safety in oakland and attract good jobs. her critics, though, disagree, saying that there are real concerns about public safety, and they've also accused the mayor of mishandling the city's finances, among other issues. tao did not file a rebuttal to the recall in the

voter information guide that went out last week, resulting in a blank space where that argument would go. a spokesperson told the chronicle that the rebuttal fell through the cracks. reggie. >> thanks, gloria. there's another high profile endorsement in the recall effort of alameda county da 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 like 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. >> last week, east bay democratic congressman eric swalwell announced his support for the recall in a statement, price responded by saying, quote, for too long, d.a.s have been beholden to these unions and the result has been a system that neglects the needs ofy andh racial disparities. i promise to change that. i'm delivering on

that promise. this kind of backlash is to be expected. >> the heat is certainly making things harder for fire crews over the weekend, as they rushed to put out several fires across northern california, evacuation warnings have been lifted for a fire that burned close to interstate 80 near the nevada placer county line in the tahoe area. the dutch fire started saturday. forward progress was stopped at about 45 acres and the fire is 40% contained. cal fire says. two homes in lake county are destroyed and another one damaged by the so-called glen haven fire. that fire has now grown to more than 400 acres since it ignited friday, forcing evacuations in the community of glen haven. helicopters and retardant dropping airplanes helped stop the spread of the fire. by 10:00 that night, the fire is 43% contained. mandatory evacuation orders have been lifted, but warnings are still in place. >> an alert for drivers in the east bay starting today, ac

bay. those 90s erased. and then by the time we get to the second half of the weekend, that next system looks pretty progressive. wants to bring in some showers for saturday, sunny for sunday, but you know, it's fleet week, so it could be a little bit of a problem, right? 94 in san jose today, low 90s in sunnyvale, low 80s san mateo. so that sea breeze definitely helping out today mid 80s downtown 95 petaluma with about 100 up towards clear lake 87 san leandro inland we've got triple digits. another day of partial records and temperatures way too hot, but at least they're cooler than we have been. and then looking at that trend to continue and looking more fall-like as well, even by the middle of the week. >> thanks, lisa. i love this story. a cal student made a field goal worth $100,000. look at that. that is daniel villasenor, who made that 33 yard field goal on his second attempt during the college gameday broadcast saturday morning. according to our media partners at the bay area news
