let's bring in anthony slaughter thousand with a look at that weekend forecast. and it's going to be really beautiful tonight, right? >> you know, i think we'll be able to see it tonight even at the coastline because we are just looking at a few high, thin clouds. it's not the low clouds we're used to seeing. you can see from tiburon this morning what i'm talking about. those are the high midlevel clouds that will cast a milky-looking sky across the day today but we will see sunshine allowing for temperatures to warm through the afternoon. temperatures right now back into the 50s for the most part. later on this afternoon there's your forecast. you can see san francisco back to 71 later on this afternoon. still talking about warm conditions for our inland valleys, mid-80s for the north day. same deal for the east bay and again the tri-valley. we'll see another warm day near 90. the south bay looking at temperatures in the mid to upper 80s for today. if you're doing any traveling across the state, no problems. no rain to talk about from the north to the south from redding down towards san diego, looking at clear skies. again, just a few high mid level clouds. if you're heading to the beach,

a little cooler than yesterday. 67 degrees for pacifica today. 72 for half moon bay. not a warm day but overall nice and comfortable. santa cruz, a nice day there. comfortable conditions. mid-70s expected. 77 for your afternoon high. the second day of the rock 'n' roll marathon happens later on this afternoon. and temperatures will warm back into the 80s as we head towards the afternoon hours. again, starting off the day cool. low 60s by the morning hours. back into the mid-70s as we head towards lunchtime. also the second day of the fog fest at pacifica. temperatures back into the 60s there again. a cooler day expected. mid-60s. yesterday got close to 70. those high midlevel clouds will make for a cooler day. also as you heard earlier, the conditions for the lunar eclipse this evening, it happens from 7:11 to 8:23 this evening. and again at the coastline, we'll see those high midlevel clouds. around the bay we'll see clouds but inland is where we'll see best conditions. temperatures are going to be nice this evening for viewing outside. we do have a cold front that's making its way through.

unfortunately it's not going to bring us any rain. as it moves through, we are going to see a slightly cooler day. you'll also notice cloud cover across the pacific. that's a cutoff low that's going to start to develop towards the next couple of days. what that means for us, cooler conditions and also the chance of more cloud cover. unfortunately, though, as this thing meanders out over open waters, we're not talking about any rain, but as we move towards october, yes. this upcoming week, we will hopefully start the official kickoff of rain season and maybe we can put more rain icons here on the map. overall as we head towards the next couple days, temperatures do cool off back into the 70s towards tuesday. but overall it's still going to be warm. 87 expected in san jose. east bay valleys will see temperatures warm again back to near 90 today. a little cooler towards the next couple days as that cold front continues to make its approach. wednesday and thursday will be cooler days. back into the lowe 80s. not as hot even for san francisco. the fog returns and we'll continue to see those cool

conditions even for the morning and afternoon hours. temperatures today, 71 degrees. for san francisco. 68 for tomorrow. and 67 by tuesday. and then we kind of begin a gradual warming trend as we head towards next weekend. vicky, we're talking about the official kickoff of rain season happening this upcoming week. hopefully that will change the conditions around the bay area. we'll be talking about some rain. back over for you. >> we'll look forward to it, anthony. thank you. still to come on "today in the bay" -- >> i just love the way it all connects. and geography is really a fundamental aspect of our day-to-day lives. >> changing lives with geography. the local student becoming the teacher in this morning's "bay area proud."

what's going on in the world ... if you don't undeta you can't understand what's going on in the world if you don't understand the world. seems pretty straightforward, but there's a south bay teenager who thinks children just aren't being taught the basics in

school. today in the bay's garvin thomas shows us what he's doing about it in this morning's "bay area proud." >> reporter: arvin says he fell in love with geography in the second grade. there was just something about it that fascinated him. he says it wasn't until he got a bit older, though, he understood that geography meant a lot more than just maps and globes. he'd love for everyone else to understand that, too. >> he says this is the categorical imperative in the highest natural -- >> reporter: community service is a required part of the curriculum. everyone does it. but staff there say one student, arvin, has truly gone the extra mile. gone around the world, you could say. and he'd love to tell you about it. the geography of it, that is. >> geography is really a fundamental aspect of our day-to-day lives. >> reporter: from migrants flooding into europe to the drought in california, from relations with cuba to business

with china, you can't really understand any of them, arvin believes, without understanding the geography surrounding them. and arvin thinks not enough kids do these days. >> so in the public school education system, there's very little geography involved. and as we can see, this has a big impact on, i guess, the different proficiency levels that kids have in geography. specific time limit for each activity that we would like to do. >> reporter: so arvin has made it his mission to change all that. he started geography for tomorrow to fulfill his community service requirement but has since turned it into its own nonprofit. >> now we're going to have a little activity for you guys. >> reporter: arvin and the team of 20 volunteer tutors regularly visit schools and on a recent weekend worked with the sunday friends nonprofit to help low-income children. >> let's say we have someone in china, right? right here. >> reporter: to do it, arvin has developed his own curriculum, reached out and gotten support from national groups and local

politicians. >> what state are you in? utah. yeah, nice job. >> reporter: his plans ultimately are to grow this thing, geographically, of course. >> my goal is that we could eventually reach that level, we could work towards having geography solidifying a place for geography in our curriculum. >> arvin is well on his way to expanding his program. they've already held more than 200 tutoring sessions at five different locations with more being added all the time. garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. if you know of someone doing something nice for others, let garvin know about it. go to our website, nbcbayarea.com and search "bay area proud." coming, a chaotic scene at a music festival in arizona sends several concertgoers to the hospital. what led to the panic. plus -- >> bad enough i could not look outside and see the runway very clearly. it was blinding. it was blinding.

>> blinded by the lights. we investigate pilot complaints about the lights at a local sports stadium and what the faa is doing about them. that sound. like nails on a chalkboard.

but listen to this: (family talking) that's a different kind of sound. the sound of the weekend. unleash the power of dough. give it a pop. it's always worth remembering... that icing the cinnamon rolls is a privilege not a right. unleash the power of dough. give it a pop.

inland valleys will be back into the mid-80s. 85 for the north bay. 87 for the south bay. even the tri-valley getting close to 90. it will still be warm as we head towards the next couple days. not as hot. the key trend towards next week. in fact, as we move into october, the official start of rainy season kicks off. and i'm looking at all of the models and hoping for some rain. unfortunately, in the next seven days, we don't have any, but we'll talk about the cooldown. >> we're like kids at christmas and our present is the rain and el nino coming. >> we need it. philadelphia is the last stop for pope francis on his historic visit to the united states. this morning the pope says he met with people sexually abused by catholic clergy. he vows the perpetrators will be held accountable. here's a look at the benjamin frankly parkway in philly. the pope will be celebrating mass there before returning to the vatican. it may be the largest crowd he's seen during his american tour. ♪ it was great

♪ thousands of people gathered just last night as the pontiff celebrated the festival of families. as you just heard, he enjoyed a performance by aretha franklin and andrea bocelli. he led the festival with a prayer and spoke about the importance of love and the institution of family. messages that the faithful look forward to hearing today. >> we're going to feel something that emanates, resonates from this man's heart, from his intention, and it's that that's so exciting. >> the pope even joked about the struggles of dealing with mothers-in-law. here's a live look at the correctional facility where the pope will speak to inmates this morning. some of the prisoners handcrafted that chair that he will use during today's mass at the ben franklin parkway. two teenagers are fighting for their lives this morning after a terrifying incident at an arizona concert. this happened at the summer end music festival. as many as 40 people were hurt

yesterday after the crowd pushed the stage, crushing those up front during a set by the reggae band revolution. police say fans panicked and trampled each other. two miners suffered life-threatening injuries. >> you've got to be prepared for these things. and i kind of think they overestimated on how many people will show up and, you know, the crowd just got too crazy. it just went out of control. >> at least nine people were taken to the hospital. the festival was temporarily halted until order was restored. it's scheduled to continue today with kanye west as the headliner. thousand to an investigative unit report. blinded by the lights. the 49ers have kicked off their second season at levi's stadium. but pilots are now raising concerns about the stadium's impact on public safety. senior investigative reporter steven stock reports. >> reporter: from the games to the concerts and wrestling matches, all the action under

the bright lights creates a fan experience developers of levi's stadium say is unparalleled in modern sports environments. but pull back from the turf to the skies around levi's stadium at night, and we discovered an entirely different experience for some pilots. >> and there is no doubt where that thing is. >> reporter: mark is president of the read hill view pilots association and a member of cal pilots association. this is video he took in the skies over levi's stadium during the thursday night football game back on september 3rd. >> it's as bright as a beacon out there. if you're coming into san jose, you just look past san jose and you see this bright white light. >> reporter: what troubles several aviation experts we talked to is this. watch as the scoreboard lights up so brightly, it actually overwhelms the camera's ability to handle it. >> you can actually, in the video, see the light coming into the cockpit, it was so bright. >> it was blinding.

>> reporter: christina had a much more serious and disturbing experience earlier this year. >> i was the one that was flying and i was kind of looking at the runway and noticing there are these beams of light coming. >> reporter: she's no novice either. she's been flying since high school. she's now a flight instructor in addition to her full-time job flying corporate jets around the world, flying in and out at san jose airport. >> incapacitating for sure. >> reporter: she says it all happened around 8:20 at night, march 26th. a corporate flight. she handling the landing, sitting in the radioity seat. her captain on this flight sitting in the left seat. >> at that point the only thing we were worried about was getting the aircraft on the ground safely. >> reporter: just 2,000 feet or less above the ground. coming in from the north on final approach to land on runway 1-2 right. >> so i spoke to my captain. he and i decided together, you know, why don't you focus on the instruments inside the cockpit, and i'll take turns and i'll look outside and i'll look

inside. i'll look for traffic. >> reporter: how bad was it? i mean, describe this to me. >> i could not look outside. and see the runway very clearly. it was blinding. it was blinding. the captain that i flew with actually went to the doctor the next day because he was looking outside the most to help me. >> reporter: in fact, we discovered this isn't the only time pilots have complained about the bright lights emanating from levi's stadium. at least five other formal anonymous complaints were filed in 2014 through nasa's aviation safety reporting system. those don't include the incident involving christina. because of those complaints, nasa sent two separate alert bulletins, one in june, the other in october, to the faa, san jose's airport and the santa clara stadium authority. >> and there's been, you know, instances already. there's been concerns. so absolutely, i think it warrants a good look. >> reporter: jim clarkson has been flying professionally in and out of san jose for 26

years. >> in a worst case, if someone was actually blinded by this, you know, you've got a serious situation where you probably are going to have to take that airplane and go around. >> reporter: the faa acknowledges receiving some complaints. several federal aviation sources blame the problem on the fact that the faa and other aviation stakeholders were consulted only after planning and construction for levi's stadium was already well under way. >> we know it costs a lot of money to build that stadium, but safety has to be first. >> reporter: another issue, the jumbotron at avaya soccer stadium right next to the airport. pilots have complained to nbc bay area that the bright scoreboard there blinds them as they turn from the taxiway onto the runway. and there's been a formal anonymous complaint filed about that, too, with nasa's aviation safety reporting system. last fall the faa issued this, a notice to all airmen or notan warning pilots about the presence of these lights. but officials admit at levi's

stadi stadium, they've done nothing to shield, dim the lights or change the intensity of the lights on the scoreboard. officials with the earthquake say they have dimmed the brightness on avaya's stadium scoreboard in response to the complaints. >> i was shocked and rather perplexed as to the tepid response that i've seen from the faa. >> reporter: jay rollins flew for american airlines for more than 20 years. he now runs his own aviation safety consulting bess and web blog based in south florida. >> it diminishes safety. i don't think that any reasonable person would want anything that diminishes the ability of pilots to pick out the runway environment short and close in. >> reporter: in a statement, faa spokesman ian gregor said, quote, most of the reports appeared to be related to scoreboard testing and calibration. and that the stadium's operator, quote, agreed to provide the faa with advanced notice of all scoreboard testing. gregor says, quote, the faa is

unaware of any pilot reports about stadium lights since december 2014. that is, last december. of course, the last night football game at levi's before this preseason was played last december. >> there's got to be some sort of limit on maybe even the times that they can have lights going on like that. >> reporter: christina hopes something more is done to address this bright light issue than just issuing a notice to all airmen. >> for us, i think we are just kind of frustrated and angry, hoppe honestly, that it it had happened at all. >> reporter: stephen stock, nbc bay area news. >> if you have a tip, give us a call at 888-996-tips or send an e-mail to the unit@nbcbayarea.com. the fear of flying is something many of us face, but imagine having kids with special needs who are just terrified by the idea of going through security and then onto the flight. yesterday those moms and dads got some help at the san francisco international airport. the ready, set, fly program lets

families take their children through ticketing, security and boarding of a real jetblue plane provided just for the event. organizers say there's also something that parents can do to help their young travelers whose disabilities might not be visible. >> we're really trying to encourage those people who are traveling with those with special needs to alert the staff that the person coming to them needs more support and accommodation. >> the event was free. there is more information on the program at sfo's website. we have heard predictions this year could be one of the strongest el ninos on record with heavy rainfall across the west. however, some bay area cities are planning ahead for a fifth year of drought. senator jim bell who represents san jose held a town hall meeting in cupertino yesterday. he says it's not too soon to plan on what we need to do and what we can expect if we have another dry year. that includes cutting back our

water use even more and charging people who don't conserve. >> so i think having a flat fee versus charging per gallon is important. i think we also have to realize that about 75% of the water issues in agricultural businesses, and we have to have a comprehensive plan to have agriculture uses conserve water. >> bell says we also need to invest in recycled water for the long term. still to come on "today in the bay," it didn't quite live up to the hype, but two bay area favorites end their careers on the same mound they started on. and along the way, a young hitter ended up stealing the show. your sports highlights are next.

give it a pop. this moment is perfect in every way just like my kid gooey...flaky...happy. toaster strudel. now with more icing. o.co coliseum. that's where the rubber match of the bay bridge series will take place today. it will be tha'

your time is 7:21. the rubber match takes place today. first pitch at 1:05. it was an emotional day at the coliseum. two-thirds of the famed big three made their final starts on the very same field where they began as a's more than a decade ago. barry zito and tim hudson were teammates in oakland for five seasons, and along with mark mulder, they formed one of the best pitching trios in recent memory. there would be no better way for the two friends to say good-bye to baseball and to bay area fans. but that's where all the fussy feelings would end. zito showed plenty of rust, giving up four runs in just two innings including this home run to rookie parker. hudson struggled as well. the righty didn't make it past the second inning. however, the fans gave both pitchers a rousing sendoff. after that, it was back to the jarrett parker show. parker hit three homers on the day, a giants' rookie record. san francisco wins in a wild

one, 14-10. >> i was feeling pretty great. an awesome day. ones i could only hope for in a big league game, so that was pretty special. >> the best offensive game i've ever seen in person. i've seen three home runs, but, you know, to hit a grand slam with the game tied, just an amazing day for this kid. >> walks off the field. for the last time here in oakland. >> classy, you know, classy moment for the fans here. it was something that, you know, i'm sure we'll, you know, appreciate forever. >> today, you know, was pretty incredible. being between the lines is a huge part of what we do. i mean, it's everything that we do. >> again, today's game starts at 1:05. and coming up on "today in the bay," the fallout following john boehner's abrupt decision to leave his position as speaker of the house. political analyst larry gerstin

joins us live to show us why it may lead to a first in california politics. john boehner has resigned from

his post as speaker of the house of representatives, and ca john boehner has resigned from his post as speaker of the house of representatives, and california may be the beneficiary of that change. nbc bay area political analyst larry gerstin joins us to talk about that. first let's talk about the surprise announcement and why boehner would step down. right now it seems like the fwlorry days for the republican party. >> yeah, control of the house, control of the senate, oh, my gosh. but the fact of the matter is that boehner presided over a republican majority that was incredibly fractured. terribly divided. about 50 let's call them 50 or so ultra conservatives, many branded as tea party types repeated lly thwarted his effor for the grand bargain, you may remember that the long-term budget deal in 2011, immigration reform again and again, twice in addition to that tea party

conservatives forced boehner into a government shutdown that harmed their party brand. you know, vicky, simply put, they can be wearing on a leader to be defeated time and time again by minority within your own party. >> certainly a very contentious history. and you mentioned shutdowns. take us back to last friday, government facing yet another shutdown. speaker boehner once again put on the edge. >> yeah. you know, the government is about to run out of money. september 30th. that's the end of the fiscal year. so unless congress votes a new budget or at least extends the current budget for some period of time, till they can put a new budget in, you know, you've got serious problems. shutdown, you know, ultra conservatives, they threaten to withdraw support from boehner and a budget extension that we just talked about unless boehner insistent on stripping planned parenthood funds from the budget. now, that was just too much for boehner. he knew it couldn't happen because of the senate vote on it. it was impossible. so boehner reportedly secured enough votes to keep the budget

intact, but paid for it with his resignation. >> okay. well, kevin mccarthy of bakersfield is the republican majority leader. >> yes. >> which really makes him the next person in line to the speaker. will he get the job? >> yeah, most likely, the short answer to that is yes. it could be an upset, most likely yes, but for some dubious reasons, really. while the tea party folks had enough votes to keep boehner from succeeding, they don't have nearly enough votes to select their own leader. remember, they number about 50 out of 247 republicans in theous. the house. assuming you have a majority voting, the vote is 218. so yeah, they can stop them, but they can't get anywhere near enough to elect their own leader. so that means that mccarthy will inherit the speakership almost by default. that's the best way you can put it. more significantly, mccarthy is very much in the boehner mold. same kind of guy. he's not an ideologue. he's a pragmatist, sometimes willing to give up those

ideological rigidity approaches to pass bills out of the house to get things done. so if mccarthy gets elected, it's going to be only a matter of time before the ultra conservatives stir that hornet's nest again, manage to get rid of him, but once again, will have difficulty finding their own kind. >> i wonder if he'll suffer the same frustrations that speaker boehner did. let me ask you this. if mccarthy is elected, will that benefit california in any way? and talk about the historical significance of this. >> it cuts a couple ways. if you want to look at it that way. look, here's what comes to mind. mccarthy is a staunch opponent of the state's high-speed rail program. and he has vowed again and again to prevent more federal funds from going to that program. so that's a negative to folks who want high-speed rail. on the other hand, mccarthy has close relations with the tech community in the bay area. and he's very sympathetic to many of tech's concerns. so yeah, his presence could cut both ways.

by the way, one big historical footnote, spent an hour and a half looking this up yesterday, one big historical footnote, if mccarthy wins the speakership, it will be the first time in history where the speaker and the minority leader, nancy pelosi, come from the same state. so for those of us interested in something new, well, there's something there. >> there's our "jeopardy!" trivia. okay. larry, thank you. thanks for putting in that hour and a half of homework for us on "today in the bay." all right. we're back in two minutes. when we return, kanye west will perform at an intimate bay area venue next month, but he won't be the biggest star in the room. why kanye west will play second fil fiddle at his own concert, and it's not kim. waking up to a little cloud cover leading to a cooler afternoon today. and even cooler as we head towards the next couple of days. i'll have that full forecast coming up for you in just a few minutes. ==vicky/take vo== president
