to top out at 97 degree. winds blowing in from the west and the humidity during the hottest time of the day will drop down to 14%. so very hot, dry, as well as variable wind. which could make it a tough fire for those wild fires to get an upper hand on. we'll talk about that and i'll have a look at the complete microclimate forecast coming up a little bit later. laura and sam. >> thank you. both kari and pete will updates throughout the morning as the situation develops. we're sending more news teams up there now. we'll get updates by the minute across our digital platforms. new this morning u more violence on the streets of hayward. police say a man was stabbed to death about 7:00 last night. police investigating a homicide that happened on cottonwood avenue. when they arrived they found a man stuffering from apparent stab wounds. he was later pronounced dead. witnesses tell police the victim had a run in with two other men

earlier from the night. the suspects were seen getting away in a white vehicle. a developing story we're watching closely in wisconsin. a state of emergency is in effect for the city of milwaukee. coming after a violent weekend following the fatal police shooting of a man who had a gun in his hand and trying to flee from a traffic stop. the sherman park area of town exploded in anger, fire, and looting on saturday after a black police officer fatally shot a 23-year-old black manned. the confrontation was caught on a police body camera. the yesterday o the video is yet to be released. the sheriff calls it a silent video. there's a demand to release the video to verify what police is saying is accurate. >> every moment it's not released milwaukee is teetering

and tottering between does it explode or continue to wait until the next police shooting? >> as milwaukee tries to restore order on the streets, officials are tallying up the damage. they say a gas station, auto supply store, and bank were burned. many businesses were looted. you saw a police cruiser with a shattered windshield. seven police cruisers were destroyed. menlo park police are trying to track down two men who targeted a trader joe's saturday night. after the store closed two men with guns came in and forced employees to lie face down while demanding money. it happen at the trader joe's on menlo avenue. the two were described as polynesian, wearing hooded sweat shirts, sweat pants, and white face masks. after plenty of tension and picketing, back on the job. in about two hours santa clara court clerks are heading back to work after two weeks of strikes. kris sanchez is live in san jose.

while the strike is over, the courthouses are feeling the impact. >> reporter: right. it's going to be a nice, quiet morning outside in front of the hall of justice. inside i would imagine a flurry of activity as chloric clerks log of eight days. they finally came to an agreement their union and with the court administration. they'll be back on the job at 8:00 this morning. the 300 or so workers on the picket line for the last eight workdays. they spent sunday morning and afternoon in an auditorium at the sheriff's department voting on the agreement their union reached with the court administration. though the court is facing a $5 million deficit, it agreed to give them a raise this year and next and a shorter contract so those clerks can renegotiate in 18 months instead two of years. what the union did not get is the back pay for the eight days the workers were on strike.

the union will try to help them through a go fund me account at $44,000. the union president sent me a statement saying, quote, "our members spoke loud and clear that the contract will begin to help them to afford to live and work in the most expensive area in the country. with ratification of the contract, the reconciliation process with the court administration must begin. we're committed to doing our part to make it occur." the court's statement is, the court is eager to move forward together and welcomes the returning of employees tomorrow and the resuming of our regular operations" that sent to mercury news. there's an eight day backlog. if you have traffic court or a traffic ticket you're dealing with, it's going to take time to get it taken care of. all court business except for essential business has been on hold for the last eight days. so the line out here they may not beholding picket signs but i expect the line will be just as

long as during the strike. kris sanchez. >> thank you so much. >> let's jump back to our coverage from rio as the olympics games enter their second week of competition. as you can see, usa is dominating. leading the overall medal count with 69 totals. that number is only expected to grow. >> our own jessica aguirre has been working hard in rio tracking the local olympians and usain bolt on the track. she joins us live from rio. plane of fun but dangerous moments for a well-known olympics swimmer. >> reporter: yeah. that is right. going into these games rio's mayor said these were going to be the safest olympics games in history. certainly it was not the case for some members of cal's swimming team including ryan lochte. ryan lochte and three other swimmers were out after a night of partying a the france house and heading back to the athlete's village in the taxi when they were stopped by what they thought was police

officers. it turned out they were bandits. armed bandits who had the men get on the ground, except for lochte. lochte who refused. >> i was like we didn't do anything wrong. so i'm not getting down on the ground. and this guy pulled out his gun and he cocked it, put it to my forehead and said get down. i put my hands up like whatever. took our money, he took my wallet. >> so all four men were robbed, but no one hurt, which is such a good thing. can manage how the specter of these games would have changed if lochte and any of those cal swimmers had been hurt. you can see more of lock's interview coming up on the "today" show. let's go inside and talk about gymnastics. she did it again! simone biles yesterday winning her third gold medal on the vault taking it for the first time for the u.s. women. now today simone biles will be on the balance beam.
