6:00. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> good morning. i'm jon kelley. i guess with a few exceptions here and there it's been a pretty cool summer but trust us, today and tomorrow that's not the case. >> we are going to feel it. time to check in with meteorologist christina loren to find out just how hot it could get in your neighborhood. >> yeah, the heat is on, guys. but one of the benefits of living in the beautiful bay area is, well, if you look for cooler weather, by 30 degrees even later on this afternoon, all you got to do is head to the coast. we're talking about 50s to start. uniform temperatures right now. the upper 50s in places like san jose but the separation really starts by noon today when we expect the upper 80s inland. already breaking for lunch mid-70s bay side and even the coast at noon today will be rather warm. in the upper 60s. so, as we head throughout this afternoon, the triple digits are back in the forecast. we're also sparing the air, our air quality is suffering under this dome of high pressure. but it is slated to move out

within the next seven days. i'll show you when we get to the seven day forecast. get ready for a hot one. jon, you might want to fan laura to keep her cool. >> that can be arranged. >> i don't mind the heat. >> a couple of cool drinks. it's going to be a sizzler in the bay area. >> if you don't have jon to fan you, not lucky as i am, people are asked to take it easy if you plan on heading out. i want to check in with marla tellez. she's live at the lexington reservoir near los gatos with more on the first spare the air day of the summer. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. first i wanted to start off showing you the dry hills that surround the lexington reservoir. they are brown, they are dry which is a clear indication we need rain. this is a familiar sight around the bay area. also a familiar sight, that fog bank. we are familiar with the fog in the bay. this is expected to burn off, though, as you heard christina say, expected to reach the 90s, even the triple digits.

first thing to think about is high fire danger. it's in effect. secondly, it is the first spare the air day of the summer. the bay area air quality management district issues a spare the air day when air quality is forecast to be unhealthy. meteorologist christina loren tells me the east bay is the only portion of the bay area where extreme unhealthy air. so keep that in mind today. still, all of us are encouraged to stay inside as much as possible and limit our driving, this means it may be a good day to carpool, walk or bike to work. if you think it's been warm more often than not you are right according the noaa the first six months of the year the hottest ever on record. >> worsening conditions across much of the inner mountain west through the central plains and into the ohio valley. that's having a lot of impact on the ground with wild fires and also with agriculture. >> reporter: the extreme conditions in the east are being blamed at least for 74 deaths

the kids' attorney says that reiser is capable of generating income from behind bars as he is a talented computer scientist. right now he seems to be focused on defending himself. in court documents he says he killed his wife to defend the kids from harm. the attorney said that it's ludicrous. one analyst said expect fireworks. >> any time hans reiser enters a courtroom there is going to be high drama. you never know what he is going do next. the jury, by seeing the way hans reiser acts in court, may punish him and reward more money than they may otherwise. >> reporter: the children are now living in their mother's native russia. reiser has subpoenaed them to appear but it's doubtful that they will come. they have not had contact with their father since he was convicted. reporting live in hayward, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> 6:05. an autopsy has been performed on a 3-year-old boy killed in an

uc-berkeley owns the land. >> rather have you be remembered for many, many years as doing something inspiring that would get global attention, of feeding the people and saving some land rather than paving it over. >> uc-berkeley says the land has never been a farm and shouldn't become one now. the project still has more hurdles to clear including an environmental impact study. >> 6:08. for the last couple of days meteorologist christina loren has been warning us mother nature's going to turn that microwave on. it is here. >> it is here. hard to tell from this live picture of san jose. this is one of the reasons we will only end up in the low 90s in san jose. you're starting out clear from concord to livermore t tri-valley going to heat up quickly, as a result all of the sunshine coming in early.

limited sunshine from san jose to santa cruz and up the peninsula is going to make for cooler conditions at least than what we were expecting in the east bay. it's going to be hot about everywhere. 57 in san jose, even hot by san francisco standards. you'll be close to 80 in the heat of the day today with all of that pavement around the city it's 0 pling to be toasty as you make your way to work and home from work. the heat of the day is between 4:00 and 5:00. i want to point out how warm it's going to be. touching on the low 90s. we'll be at 85 degrees at noon in san jose, rounding out the day with the triple digits in the east bay. 85 degrees bay side at the coast 71 so we've got two more days of abnormally hot conditions in the bay area. we're going to drop temperatures back to seasonal averages as we head to the weekend. so, you won't have to keep that ac on all weekend long if you do plan on staying indoors and sleeping if that's your plan it's a good one. we'll have your full forecast coming up. first here is mike.

reward cain for what has been an excellent career so far, noting that he threw a perfect game earlier in the season. he has become familiar with cain since he lives in the bay area. we'll hear from the man not happy with la russa's choice for starter, that is r.a. dickey, the pitcher for the mets who thought he would be first on the mound. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> one to enjoy. >> all good players should always think they are the best. 6:12. a u.s. olympian tests positive for a banned substance. but it won't keep her out of the games. we'll tell you why. >> an act of defiance. the political struggle between the military and the new president. >> and return your brand new car for a full refund. we'll tell you how it works.
