forecast headlines as we move along here. it's this morning. some foggy areas. as i mentioned next few days this cooling trend will continue with breezy conditions from time to time. and this weekend may bring us a slight chance of showers, mainly on saturday. so what are we looking at for high temperatures this afternoon? 69 here in san francisco, across the bay in oakland, 73 inland east bay, mainly mid 80s. concord, livermore and antioch. about 8586 degrees san jose will top out at 82 and up in the north bay, 78 at napa, but a warm 89 at santa rosa. now let's check out traffic with gloria. >> thank you so much. so far looking pretty good out there on the roads this morning. we have a live look at our golden gate bridge camera. and you can see it's not as clear as it's been. the last few days, but there isn't too much traffic out there at this time of the morning. so it's a good time to get on the bridge if you are driving out there. the bay bridge is starting to get a little busier right now, but no major delays driving into the city. you can see our overall map here mostly

in the green, so no issues other than that usual slowdown at the altamont pass. and looking at your drive times, you can see from tracy to dublin. 41 minutes. san rafael to san francisco 16 minutes and antioch to concord, 14 minutes. >> okay, gloria, thank you. >> teachers in san francisco are planning to march this afternoon after the district released its list of potential school closures. 11 campuses may shut down for good as san francisco unified faces a budget crisis. abc seven news reporter lena howland joins us live with what comes next. and lena, some families and teachers are devastated that this year, for the school year, i should say, may be their last. >> well, emotions were running high yesterday as many families found out their schools may be closing come the end of the school year. now, san francisco public montessori here behind me is just one of the 11 schools now on the chopping block. take a look at your screen right now. these are the schools that meet the criteria for closure. it includes nine elementary schools

and two high schools. harvey milk civil rights elementary school, near the heart of the city's castro neighborhood, is one of them. the superintendent says school closures can't be avoided with a $400 million deficit, shrinking student counts and the threat of a state takeover. it was crushing news to parents like kiana ellzey, who attended the school herself in the 90s and now also sends her third grade daughter there. >> miss frances was my second grade teacher. she's still here. she's been teaching my daughter. so just to have the same people and the same faces, it just feels really good. feels like home. and it feels like family. >> i think it's going to be a challenge for him to adapt, to go to a new environment. you know, because he's used to staff in the school and his friends and stuff. so i think it's going to be very challenging for my son. >> teachers at harvey milk say they are planning a march this afternoon at 2:00 to protest their school's possible closure. now, the superintendent will be

sharing a final list of the school closures in november, and the school board will vote on that final list as a whole in december. they will not be voting on individual schools. live in san francisco. lena howland, abc seven news. >> lena. thank you. happening now we are tracking hurricane milton now less than 24 hours from making landfall. the latest forecast showing landfall is most likely to happen late tonight near saint petersburg, florida. here's a live look this morning from key west, florida. you can see high winds moving into the region. the outer bands are already affecting the coast. and of course, there are evacuation orders this morning and tampa officials saying anyone who decides to stay is risking their life. the two main concerns right now debris still left from hurricane helene, which hit the area less than two weeks ago, and a potentially historic storm surge that could reach up to 15ft. >> say you're in a single story home. 12ft is above that house. so if you're in it, you know,

now. 53 right now in santa rosa is 50in petaluma. current temperature in napa, 5557 in fairfield and livermore, concord stands at 59. so the inland areas are beginning to get gain a degree or two as we move along this morning. and these are our forecast headlines. we still have some foggy areas, as i mentioned the next few days. look for breezy and cooler conditions as the cooling trend will continue into the weekend and the weekend may bring us some light rain or showers, primarily on saturday. we'll take a look at the timeline on that. a little bit later as we look at the forecast animation, but right now, the highs this afternoon under partly cloudy skies will be 69. in san francisco, 73 in oakland, many locations around the bay shoreline will warm up to the mid 70s. about 7576 degrees in most locations. we'll see mid 80s in the inland east bay, antioch, fairfield, concord, livermore, up in the north bay, 78 napa, but a warm 89 at santa rosa and down in the south bay. we'll see highs of 82 at san

very hot inside. over the past week. we heard from some upset employees yesterday. now we're hearing from others, including a woman who requested we only identify her as chris. she says her late husband underwent a procedure at the hospital last fall. she describes the situation as uncomfortable for her, her spouse and the doctor. >> hot. his eyes were burning from perspiration. the surgeon came out and talked to us. the surgeon was drenched with perspiration. his scrubs were completely wet. >> staff have submitted multiple complaints. ucsf solution was to send cooling towels. when abc seven reached out to ucsf, they said, quote, we continue to regularly monitor temperatures in our buildings and are bringing staff and patients back to the impacted floors in accordance with cal osha standards and clinical guidance. the care's navigation center in oakland will receive $6 million in grant funding to expand its services. the center offers services to people as an alternative to jail or

prosecution over substance use and mental health related misdemeanors. alameda county district attorney pamela price says it's the largest grant the da's office has ever received. the program is one of 27 organizations in the state to receive the award. >> a proposal to redevelop pier 45 in san francisco is moving forward. the san francisco port commission voted to endorse the preliminary $550 million plan yesterday. it would bring a seafood market, a food hall, a museum and other new places to pier 45. advocates say the area needs to be revitalized to bring in more foot traffic. those who oppose the plan argue the city should focus instead on helping existing businesses. the proposal will now go to the board of supervisors. and new this morning, las vegas bidding farewell to the tropicana hotel and casino to make way for the new a's stadium on the las vegas strip. if the team can pull it all together regardless. >> the tropicana is gone. it went down just like you would

oldest casino on the strip, and it welcomed guests for nearly 70 years. this was the first las vegas hotel implosion since 2016, when the final tower of the riviera was leveled. the a's still have a long way to go to get to las vegas. they have to finalize financing and lease agreements. they don't even have a final design for the ballpark. if the a's can get it together, they hope to start playing in las vegas in 2028. all right >> i guess the key there is if the a's can get it together. here's a look at our satellite radar composite image. we've got active weather out at sea, but things are pretty calm here in the bay area right now. we've got partly cloudy skies and some gentle winds and light breezes blowing onshore at about 5 to 10mph. and we're starting the day a little bit cooler than at this time yesterday. generally about 5 to 7 degrees cooler than yesterday. so let's take a look at current readings as we gaze across the embarcadero from our

rooftop camera. 56 here in san francisco, 61 at oakland, hayward, san jose, 55 at redwood city, and half moon bay. here's the view from our exploratorium camera, showing a little bit of a mist hanging over the city. 53 in santa rosa right now. 50 in petaluma, napa. 5557 at fairfield and livermore. concord is at 59 degrees and we'll move along and take a look at our forecast headlines. so right now the commute is a little bit slow right here. bear with me as the graphics slide along. now this morning some foggy areas. next few days will be breezy and the cooling trend will continue through the end of the week. and this weekend may bring us our first chance of some showers in a long, long time, probably around saturday. so we're looking at highs this afternoon in the mid 80s in our inland east bay locations, 8586 at concord, antioch and livermore up in the north bay, 78 at napa, but 89 at santa rosa. so a wide range of highs there. we'll see mainly low to mid 70s around the bay shoreline low 80s in the

south bay. and as we take a look at the forecast animation, you see how active the systems are out at sea. we've got a little wave after wave of clouds and moisture moving in our direction. so let's move it along. from thursday into friday night, things are still calm and dry here, but that weak cold front will likely come through on saturday and bring us some light rain or showers. winding down early sunday morning. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. as you can see, it will be nice and dry until saturday. that system won't last very long and then it starts to get milder dry again going into early next week. reggie aqui and amanda. >> all right spencer thank you. coming up, the seven things to know this morning. >> some may call it a win for scott peterson. the developments in his bid for a new

graduated from uc berkeley and ucsf. david baker won the prize alongside two other chemists, for their work on proteins. new developments in scott peterson's bid for a new trial. a san mateo county judge has granted him access to evidence, including police reports and interview transcripts, even recordings. the la innocence project has taken over peterson's case. they want a look at evidence connected to the burglary across the street that happened at the same time peterson's pregnant wife, laci, disappeared back in 2002. two years later, scott peterson was convicted of murder in the deaths of laci and their unborn son. peterson was sentenced to death, but that was later overturned and he was resentenced to life without parole. >> new information in a story we've been following in the south bay. the former executive director of the san jose police officers association pled guilty to drug smuggling in court yesterday. joanne segovia admitted to illegally importing more than 17,000 opioid pills

things are pretty calm this morning around the bay area. and mild temperature readings at this moment, mainly in the mid 50s to low 60s. so a pleasant morning leading to a pleasant afternoon. we can expect high temperatures reaching into the mid 80s in our inland east bay areas, mid 70s around the bay shoreline, low 60s on the coast. let's check traffic. good morning gloria. >> good morning to you. good morning to everybody at home. so we have a live look right now at our san jose 101 camera. and traffic is starting to fill in on the northbound side, but no major issues or delays this morning. >> happening now. emergency crews across the state of florida are preparing for a hurricane milton. so we'll take a live look from key west right now. it's a category four. it's expected to weaken to a three when it makes landfall later tonight, but still expected to cause major devastation. abc news reporter reena roy is in tampa this morning. reena, the evacuation window quickly closing as that storm is getting very close to the outer banks

>> yeah, reggie. that's absolutely right. good morning to you. well, you can see behind me that the rain has started coming down. in fact, it's gotten heavier and more consistent as the morning has gone on. we've also started to feel a little bit of wind pick up. but keep in mind, this is just the beginning. things are expected to get much worse. downtown here has been deserted as milton moves in. this mornin. time is running out to prepare for historic hurricane milton as the monster storm closes in on florida. >> this is destructive, life threatening storm surge, not a safe environment to stay in. so if you are in one of those storm surge evacuation zones along the west coast of florida, please heed that evacuation advice. >> milton is expected to make landfall late tonight as a category 3 or 4 hurricane, bringing up to 18in of rain and a record storm surge of up to 15ft in the tampa bay area. it has the potential to be one of the most destructive hurricanes on record for the state of

florida. >> sarasota county has issued an evacuation for your area authorities driving through coastal neighborhoods, warning people to leave while they still can and if not, prepare for the worst. >> write your name on your arm so we can identify you. we're all talking the same way. get out of these areas because we can replace your home. we can't replace your life. >> airlines added thousands of seats, allowing more people to get out the rain and the wind and all that. >> and i said, i just have to g. >> hurricane hunters flying directly into milton to gather data. their plane jerking around in extreme turbulence. the governor says the national guard storm mobilization is likely the largest in state history, with thousands of troops activated. 34 search and rescue planes are on standby, and 37,000 linemen are either in florida or on the way to help with power outages. one major concern coastal areas still filled with piles of debris from hurricane helene. despite frantic cleanup efforts in recent days, in some areas, a

desperate struggle to find gas more than 30% of gas stations have already run dry in the fort myers naples area. it's been a, i would say, a tremendous task to get gas. and we just got word in the latest update that the hurricane is now getting larger and the wind field is widening. so we can expect some pretty widespread destruction here. amanda. >> all right. thank you. marina. developing news. the department of justice is considering asking a federal judge to break up mountain view based google. it comes after google's online search engine was ruled a monopoly. and, gloria, what could this mean for the future of the internet searching? >> well, amanda, the department of justice has been considering potential remedies since a landmark ruling in august found google illegally crushed competition in online search. in court documents yesterday revealed that one of these options would be forcing google's parent company, alphabet, to sell off some of its brands, like the chrome browser or its android operating

system. and you and i probably wouldn't notice a change at first, but eventually it could lead to more search competition. federal officials believe that competitors like amazon and other sites would have more room to grow. google plans to appeal. the company called the proposal radical. in a blog post, it said in part, quote, we are concerned the doj is already signaling requests that go far beyond the specific legal issues. in this case, the government seems to be pursuing a sweeping agenda that will impact numerous industries and products with significant unintended consequences for consumers, businesses, and american competitiveness. google claims that users prefer its search engine because of its quality, and says that users have the choice to set other search engines as their default. live in the studio, gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. all right, gloria, thank you. >> well, the list is out. after months of delays, san francisco unified is finally revealing which schools are facing

closure. 11 campuses are on that list. abc seven news reporter lena howland is live in san francisco. and lena, the superintendent, calls it a difficult decision to deal with the budget crisis. and some teachers, they are obviously upset and are planning to protest today. >> yeah, amanda. that's right. and we have heard from teachers at at least one of the 11 schools on the list facing closure that are planning a march for later this afternoon, calling on the district to keep their school open. now, san francisco public montessori here behind me is just one of those 11 schools on the list facing closure. take a look at your screen right now. the list released by the district yesterday includes nine elementary schools and two high schools across the city. near the heart of the city's castro district. families and teachers were shocked to see harvey milk civil rights elementary school on the list. they tell us this is more than just a school. to them, it's a place that represents values like justice,

freedom and acceptance, serving as a staple in this tight knit community for almost three decades. one teacher said she couldn't believe the district would choose to close a school that has served as a symbol of hope for many talking about equity equity. >> but they're not considering the lgbtq plus community in this equity conversation. and it's blowing my mind and i'm just i'm devastated right now. >> that's why teachers are planning a march this afternoon at two from the elementary school to harvey milk plaza, protesting their school's possible closure. now, the district is planning to engage with families, teachers and staff at all of these impacted schools over the next few weeks through three different town halls, the first of which is happening tomorrow night virtually at 530. live in san francisco lena howland, abc seven news. >> lena. thank you. new developments in san francisco's plan to expand rent control in
