enough to see those fireworks? >> yes, i think so in many spots. we will get the low clouds moving in in the city but elsewhere there will be a lot of sunshine if you're heading to san jose this will be the parade forecast. at 10:00 in the morning 71 degrees, and the festival and picnic at 85 degrees. we will be warming up and then by the end of the day in time for the fireworks 70 degrees. let's get a look at more of those my row climates. we will have highs in the 70s and 80s for most of the bay area, but the warm spot of course the tri-valley reaching 90 degrees. we will take a look at some more events coming up in a u minutes. i will send it back to you. certainly you want to leave the fireworks to the professionals. that's the warning this morning as both authorities and firefighters gear up for what they fear could be a dangerous holiday weekend. >> "today in the bay" bob redell is live in san jose this morning. bob, a major change this year that holds homeowners more accountable for illegal fireworks. >> reporter: correct, sam and laura.

for homeowners unincorporated santa clara county just this last month the santa clara county board of supervisors passed a new law making it tougher to set off fireworks in the unincorporated area and did this just in time for the holiday weekend. as you are well aware it is illegal to set off fireworks in unincorporated santa clara county, it's been that way for quite some time. no you because of this new law it is also illegal to host fireworks on your property. even if you're not the one setting them off. fines are $350 for the first offense, double for the second, then $1,000 after that. sheriff's deputies do have the discretion of giving you a warning if you weren't aware that people were using your land to set off fireworks, but if you don't take reasonable steps to stop that activity, even if you don't condone it, then you can still be held responsible. fireworks are banned throughout most of the bay area, only 15 cities locally allow these so-called safe and sane fireworks which are generally not explosive fireworks.

this year because of the drought the city of danville has banned all fireworks over concerns that someone could accidentally set fire to their very dry hills. reporting live here in san jose, which is obviously not much wetter or moister, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> very dry out there. thank you, bob. there's no need to set off illegal fireworks when there's so many events going on around the way ba i this holiday. >> in the south bay fireworks will go off at discovery med toe in downtown san jose, free to the public. it's finally back. on the peninsula foster city has a whole day of festivities planned at leo ryan park. there's a big celebration at the berkeley mar ma with food trucks, kids activities and live music and of course the iconic fireworks show at pier 39 in san francisco. >> there are so many more activities going on all over the bay area. to find one this your neighborhood so you don't have to move around too much check

in the bay area on the fourth of july. after wednesday's deadly shooting at pier 14 it's causing concerns with people already in town for the festivities. one tourist we spoke with says that while that violence is alarming, it's not going to change his plans. >> very concerning as am, you know, sad for obviously the family and friends, but, you know, life is short and, you know, we are out here enjoying it and we hope nothing terrible happens to us and anyone else. >> certainly we all hope that. waterfront crowds in san francisco are going to no doubt peak tomorrow night for the fireworks show. >> the warrants of the woman killed shared their heartache less than a day after the shooting took place. >> she was a beautiful human being. we loved her so, so much and we were such a close family. >> we will miss her a lot. she was everything to us. >> kate steinle's mother and father talked publicly about their daughter yesterday. jim steinle was with his daughter kate in san francisco

were able to track sanchez down about a mile from pier 14 near at&t park. >> nearly 12 hours after that deadly shooting our own news crew was attacked at that same spot as they reported on the deadly shooting. police say this is one of three men who robbed and pointed a gun at our cameraman and reporter as they were about to go live on air yesterday morning. the man also stole equipment from a ktvu crew. this is a picture of the gun used in the attack. police say the men sped off in a bmw with no license plates. our cameraman was hurt, but he tells us he's doing fine and he's recovering at home this morning. we wish him well. new this morning, a north bay high school track coach facing charges of sex with an underaged student. the coach works at novato high school, 64-year-old steven deschler is accused of having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student who just graduated. deputies say the girl's mother alerted authorities when she discovered some suspicious text messages. investigators don't believe
