off in the mid-70s this morning. we have a little push of the low clouds across the bay. those hill tops, the areas in yellow and orange this morning, showing you still some very warm air inland. especially across the higher elevations. meantime, san francisco, 56, 56 in oeblg land as well. livermore, 56 degrees to start your morning off. things will be heating up quickly today around the trivalley. notice fairfield. an encouraging sign. southwest winds at 16. we've got the onshore winds reaching solano county, but it looks like we'll see one more relatively hot day inland. mid to upper 90s. then temperatures start to come down as we go through the first half of the work week. satellite radar view shows you we don't have thunderstorms in sierra or reno but that's a possibility this afternoon as monsoon moisture heads up to the high country. around the bay area one change

we'll see is more low clouds hugging the coastline today. and keeping the cooling air right around the bay and on the coast. yesterday we had lots of upper 90s and near 100-degree temperatures. today the focus will be more into the east bay. once again, areas south of san jose we'll see one more pretty hot afternoon around the bay area today. patchy low clouds through oakland, golden gate, toward santa cruz. significant cooling for the coast into the inner bay. earlier start to the sea breeze. the air conditioning is slowly turning on, but probably not quickly enough to prevent temperatures from soaring into the mid and upper 90s again south of san jose. upper 80s, close to 90 in downto downtown. cooler toward palo alto and the trivalley. you'll see places like pleasanton and livermore and antioch looking toasty with upper 90s in the forecast. north bay, once winds pick up out of the south, we could hit our high temperatures around

1:00 and cool towards the evening as cooler marine air spills off to the north. here you go. subtle cooling inland. a little more cooling as we go into monday and tuesday. now, watch what happens here as we head towards the middle part of the week. you'll see the temperatures come down, especially by wednesday and thursday, you'll see numbers inland. upper 70s and low 80s. so, the difference between kind of running the fan or having the oceanaire conditioning at full blast. you'll see that big change through the middle part of the week and slowly rebounding temperatures by next weekend. >> rob, thank you very much. one of the hottest shows just rolled into town and you don't have to love horses to appreciate it. cavalia combines artistry as well as horses. you might have seen the white big-top tent has taken over the intersection of 101 in san jose. kris sanchez had a chance to talk with founder and artistic director. >> this must be a dream come true for you. >> i've been traveling with

shows for many years. i'm one of the guys who started cirque du soleil and cavalia came into the bay area fort first time 2004. it's been renewed but always fantastic when the tent goes up because first it's the biggest touring tent in the world. secondly, we have nine tents connected together that's why it looks like a village almost. >> right. a lot of folks will say, i don't like horses, why would i see cavalia but it's more than just what happens on the horses. >> yeah. like more than half of our audience are people who don't know about horses. i mean, it's a feel good show, a fun show to watch. and it integrates acrobatic and music and lights. it's really like you're looking at cirque du soleil with horses. and the horse, you know, they don't do necessarily what we call tricks. i mean, we follow the horse. the artists follow the horse.

it's all -- it's not a horse show. it's a show about horses. we tell -- with images because we have a lot of special effects. with images we tell the story of the relationship between human kind and horses. it's a nice show to watch, a family show. >> you mention there are acrobatics. >> absolutely. >> what else do they see? >> they'll see people flying, people on bungee, trampoline. lots of performing on the horse, and sometimes the horses go 25 miles an hour. it's sometimes very dynamic and also a very moving show because at some point there's a real bond between the horse and the trainers. half of the time the horses are on stage. they come on stage to play. even if we're performing under a tent, it's not a circus because the audience is sitting front,

auditorium seating. there's a huge stage. the stage is almost 200 feet wide. it allowed the horse just to come and they considered the stage their playground. really interesting to watch the special bond >> so, to have a stage of that magnitude that is that big and then the tents are ten feet -- or ten stories high, how close do you really feel to the action? you're describing something very intimate but the setting is not. >> no, absolutely. you're very close to the audience. you're very close to the stage. it's wide but you're not far. i mean, you're less than 50 feet apart from the stage. so, it's -- you can see the eyes of the people. i mean, you really -- and it's -- it's very moving. i see a lot of people in the audience crying because, you know, we forget. we live in very urbanized area and we forget about nature. this show tells a lot about nature because i think the horses are speakers of nature.

if you witness that, it's just fun to watch. and the show is built like a dream, so it's like, you know, a disney movie but for -- in front of your very eyes so you witnessed something beautiful and you entered to that dream and let yourself go for 2 1/2 hours it's fun to watch. >> you'll continue having shows for the next month or so but two under your belt, in the past week you had two successful productions, i hope? >> absolutely. we keep going on and we just added shows because the demand is very good. so, we'll be here until august 12th. >> we're happy to have you and glad to finally have an explanation for the spectacle alongside the freeway. thank you. >> and almost 50 horses there and 50 artists which are multitalented artists. very nice to be here. >> we'll drive by and catch a peek. thank you for coming in today and good luck with cavalia. >> much more ahead on "today in

shining, the forecast is great. on a day like today, how do you feel about this news? >> delighted. >> reporter: i can tell. >> i can tell people it's going to be fine weather coming at last. >> reporter: the olympic games, just like the sun, ready to prove they're worth the weight. much more ahead on "today in the bay." we hear from a man who witnessed suspected shooter james holmes buying an assault weapon a few days ago. why he says he stood out.

maps, look at yellow orange. it's 7:29 in the morning and we have mid-70s in the hills. mt. hamilton, 74 degrees right now. that's a warm start to the morning. here's the battle. we'll see marine air trying to reach fairfield. southwest wind at 16 so that's an onshore push of air battling that warmer air trapped inland today. the inland valleys, mid to upper 90s. we'll probably see that temperature around 2:00. the sea breeze will pick up, lead to cooling on the coast, significant cooling for the coast today. inner bay, just a little cooler. the seven-day, though, does show big-time cooling as we get back into the work week. a full look at that coming up in a few minutes. >> thank you very much. today the country mourns the tragedy in colorado. president obama will visit victims of the attack and their families in aurora. we have a live look at the movie theater where the shooting took place where 12 people died. nearly 60 others injured. we're learning more this morning about what took place inside that movie theater where

colorado. james holmes has been appointed a defense attorney. the 24-year-old is under suicide watch in solitary confinement in a colorado jail. he's held on suspicion of first-degree murder. holmes' first court is tomorrow. a jailhouse worker says holmes hasn't shown any remorse and thinks he's acting in a movie. getting rid of the explosives stored in his apartment was no small task. a caravan of 20 vehicles transported them to a remote place. they say he booby-trapped his apartment before the shootings. bomb technicians were able to disarm a trip wire and one detonated in the apartment. a woman lives in the apartment below holmes. the 20-year-old says loud techno music was blaring from his

apartment. she went to tell him to turn it down, noticed the door was unlocked, did not go inside and called the cops. >> i feel very lucky i had an instinct or impulse not to open that door. it's very scary how close i came to doing that. >> she says she had no idea the apartment was booby-trapped and was shaken to learn the news. a colorado hunter called police when he saw pictures of james holmes on tv. austin mckee says he was shopping at a local gun store when the man he says was holmes came in with pink hair and piercings looking anything but a hunter. >> the gun he was looking at was an ar-15, which was an assault rifle. i just definitely knew that, you know -- i just had a weird feeling he was just -- that guy shouldn't be buying that type of gun, what you know i mean? he had a weird aura about him, i guess. not the type of weapon you go

hunting with. >> the gun store has no comment but they do say they are cooperating with police. in norway today, people are remembering another massacre, exactly one year ago today when a lone gunman won't a shooting rampage at a youth camp. 77 people were killed, nearly half of the victims teenagers. the shooter admitted in court he wanted to destroy norway's commitment to a multicultural society. here at home the search is on for a suspect who attacked a chp officer in east oakland near the intersection of 54th and international boulevard. the officer was attempting to pull over a driver for a seat belt violation when a chase followed. during the pursuit, another car rammed the cruiser several times. someone from that second car then fired a gun at the officer. the officer was not hurt. >> this incident only happened around five minutes, from 8:24 to 8:29, so a very narrow window. we definitely believe both the parties in the van and the party in the acura were working

together. >> police later recovered both vehicles and have since made two arrests. they say the shooter is still at large. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up -- lessons from aurora. we'll talk to nbc bay area analyst larry gersten. [ female announcer ] irritated, itchy, summer skin? count on cortizone-10. with the strongest, nonprescription itch medicine for fast relief. and seven moisturizers. cortizone-10. feel the heal.

the deadly shooting in aurora last thursday was want the first of its kind but is there any way to make it the last? larry gersten joins us to talk about laws on the book as it applies to controlling violence. larry, obviously, moments after the shooting happened the talk of gun control. some people said it was too soon to talk about it. some said, it's too late to talk about it. where do we stand as far as the laws and governing what's going on? >> it's one of these things where, you know, virtually any government can do something about gun control if they want to.

the question is really, you know, what do you do? how do you do it? lawmakers -- generally speaking, this thing gets very touchy, very, very quickly. so, people have to think twice about what they're going to do. remember, we've got the supreme court that will always serve as the referee, if you will, when there's a debate between someone who says we've got to watch out for the public good and someone else who says, well, we have the right to own guns, as we know from the second amendment. that's when the court will step in and say, you know, this is okay, this isn't okay. but it's touchy, no question about it. >> what's interesting is the court has to make the ruling once you make the law. it seems recently there's been great retocense to bring the laws forward. >> absolutely. a couple yurgz the supreme court said the washington, d.c. law which said, you can't own guns, is unconstitutional. at the same time the courts have

validated congress when congress legislated against people owning machine guns or sawed off shotguns. what makes sense in terms of someone owning something to defend themselves and protecting the public good. the public good is just as important as a need to defend ourselves. >> interesting this took place in colorado, where columbine took place, 13 years ago. and if people are looking for changes -- you said any level of government can make the law. so, if there were going to be changes to the legality of assault rifles, for example, it would have happened in colorado after columbine. it clearly did not. for the record, the purchases made -- allegedly made were all legal. >> they were all legal, every single one of them. the interesting thing is colorado has allowed assault weapons purchased. as most states have, we had a law against assault weapons.

assault weapons ban expired in 2004. that was a national law. senator feinstein led the way in that. also interesting, california was the first state to enact legislation against assault weapons after that mess in stockton where a fellow went in with an assault weapon and killed, i don't know how many kids. we became the first state. only four or five states come to mind as the only other state that has really done this. so states have treaded very, very carefully. the u.s. supreme court has always had its ears out for anybody going too far. congress is backed up. if anything, take a big step back and what we've seen a much greater reluctance to tread on what many people call second amendment rights. >> during a presidential campaign when every -- even small issues are immediately latched onto by the candidates in the debate -- this is a big story i'm going to guess you're

going to say is not going to be a big issue in the campaign? >> you know what, we see this again and again. we saw it with columbine. we saw it with virginia tech. for two weeks or so, there will be front page stories. there will be back stories, what happened behind the scenes. there will be television news stories about the victims, about vigils and whatnot. and after two weeks or less, it will fade back into the backdrop and we'll be talking about other things again. this is an issue, gun control, where public opinion overwhelming supports it, but those against it, you know, the nra and its 2 million members, you know, have very strong intensity. sometimes the intensity can overcome the will of the majority and that's a case, too, where this will drift into the background. >> appreciate it. a remind you can always get larry's political insight any time on nbcbayarea.com. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up -- a nice refreshing way to enjoy your summer.

some wine, cheese, crepes it's all there at the fremont festival of the arts.

take another live look outside. 7:45 is the time. thanks for spending part of your sunday morning with us. a look at san francisco. one of the largest free street festivals is happening the first weekend in august. the fremont festival of arts is celebrating 29 years of fun in the sun. lots of entertainment and activity for the family. music on three stages, games and activities in kids city and the gourmet marketplace but the festival's hidden gem is the wine garden. obviously, it's a perfect time of year, things are hot, talk about things that go great in the summer and you brought a fantastic display. i'm going to turn it over to

you. you're participating in the wine garden. what am i going to find when i go there? >> actually, we're offering sangrias. this is actually my traditional sangria, made with tempernelal, orange juice, cranberry juice, different fruits, strawberries and apples. this is the mojito-style sangria. mint and apple, pineapple juice. >> and all just with wine? >> yes. >> all just with wine. mojito i think of the traditional drink. that would be fascinating because people love those, particularly this time of year. >> exactly. >> what else do we have? >> my favorite is over to your left. my watermelon mimosa made with sparkling wine or champagne, orange juice and dice up watermelon. >> i can see why that would be your favorite. all three of these are -- you're

participating in the wine garden, your booth. >> exactly. >> i should say, you do need a ticket, a separate ticket to get into the wine garden area of the festival. part of the allure, secrecy, the hidden gem but not everything is exclusively with the wine garden. i noticed fantastic looking food here. >> so, i brought two different crepes. you have the apple carmel crepe and nutella and strawberry. those are absolutely delicious. that pairs perfectly with the zinfandel. >> okay. >> and i brought different cheeses. >> now, you've been participating in the festival for how many years? >> three years. >> what do you like about it? >> i love it's a place to go, get away from a quarter of a million people that actually attend the festival. you can relax. they have live music, all you can eat and drink sangrias as

well as different wines. sometimes they have beer. and tickets are $50. >> i heard this is the biggest festival west of the mississippi, but i've talked to people who went there and doesn't sound like you should be intimidates by the crowds. you won't go and feel squeezed in, jostled. tell us about the atmosphere. >> the festival itself, you have two different band on two different sides. i think it stretches out a quarter of a mile. you have a kid zone. you have food booths everywhere. there's quite a a bit of room so you won't be smooshd at all. >> and the wine garden and retreating there is always a nice way to get out of the sun, too. thank you very much. i appreciate you coming in this morning. >> the festival in central fremont, next weekend, august

4th and 5th, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days. thank you very much. best of luck with the festival. >> thank you. south bay teen is helping kids in need this morning. 16-year-old ken saxton is organizing west valley hope charity run. the junior says proceeds will help low income kids living in santa claire ka county. it's held this morning 8 a.m. in the park in los gatos. we'll take a look at president obama and mitt romney's fund-raising schedules right here. a view outside san francisco this morning. a few low clouds. marine layer trying to deepen up. what does it mean for our sunday temperatures? a full look at the forecast when we come back.

and welcome back as we show

you a live view around south bay. you're looking at mostly clear skies. one of the places today. that will be heating up quite a bit, san jose south down towards morgan hill. now, maybe this is one way to cool off. this is amazing video out of russia. a group of daredevils celebrating a towering achievement. 88 jumpers in all creating what they say is the largest parachute formation in the shape of a lotus flower. in order to qualify for a record, you have to maintain the formation for at least one second. this group apparently did it for about five seconds. that's pretty cool. maybe that's one way to cool off, have the wind fly past you at 145 miles an hour as you free fall. if you're looking for more conventional ways to cool off, you'll are to wait for the sea breeze to pick up. we're seeing little signs, but unfortunately for inland areas, this map shows you how warm it is to start off your morning. mt. hamilton, it's not often you ee on this map before 8:00 that much orange on the screen there. that shows you temperature in
