will it be hot, but it will be hot for a while. >> yeah, it's going to be hot for a biwhile. we start with the heat wave. and we have high pressure building in and that will keep the temperatures in place. right now the south bay already at 64 degrees. and we've been in the 60s since the 5:00 a.m. hour. peninsula 63 degrees. today will be a great day to get away and head to the beaches along the coastline. that's where we're going to see 60s and 70s, but inland areas, there goes that dangerous heat. we're seeing the high pressure building in. and so far even though the official start of summer isn't until june 20th, we're already feeling that heat and we're expected to see the warmest weather since then. and we will be climbing into the triple digits for inland areas. so definitely something to keep in mind which is why that heat advisory will take effect at 11:00 a.m. today and remain in effect through monday. but we're not expecting those
7:01 am
triple digits to go anywhere. past monday we're expecting to see maybe nine or ten days of continuous dangerous heat. definitely something to keep in mind. i know the beaches and the pools had be very busy. we've got safety tips the coming up in a bit. i'll have a detailed forecast of father's day coming up. >> thank you, vianey. as she said, we're just getting that week-long heat wave. triple digit heat has firefighters and doctors preparing for what could be a very busy couple of days. the staff at washington hospital of fremont already getting ready for folks who do it in the heat. dr. khoi lam works in the emergency room and tells us that the e.r. was already starting to get busy last night. folks can avoid heat exhaustion and heat stroke by avoiding the hottest parts of the day, by hydrating early and often and not staying in the sun too long. >> by the time they came here, it's later and it's harder and more difficult and more critical condition. the way to prevent that is take early measures and be aware of
7:02 am
your surroundings and your symptoms. >> alameda county firefighters are also getting ready as well. you probably noticed all the tall dry grass and the shrubs fed by this winter's heavy rain. firefighters say it's dry and ready to burn. don't throw any flammables out of your car windows. if you have engine trouble try not to pull your car into high grass. that could spark a fire and avoid cutting your grass during the hottest parts of the day when your lawn mower could spark a fire. you can stay on top of the heat advisory through our free nbc bay area app. monitor the conditions through the palm of your hand and get updates from where you live and where you're headed. 7:02. new this morning an investigation into the deadly shooting involving a police officer in the east bay. this happened around 11:30 last night on the 2300 block of manzanita way in antioch. this is between antioch high school and highway 4.
7:03 am
investigators are not telling us yet what led an anti-y ok police officer to shoot a 37-year-old man there last night. his identity is not being revealed at this point but we do know the victim is from antioch. the police officer who fired his weapon was not injured in the incident. the contra costa county district attorney's office is also now investigating. a major roadway out of peninsula is open again this morning after a deadly crash shut it down for hours. you might have been caught up in that five-hour shutdown of university avenue near the dumbarton bridge in east palo alto. that's where a driver t-boned another car killing the man inside. firefighters will be on the scene of a four-alarm fire that ripped through a san francisco warehouse yesterday. folks who work and live nearby had to shelter in place. firefighters did overnight on the scene watching for hot spots there. in this cell phone video you can
7:04 am
see the thick smoke pouring out of the warehouse. at one point firefighters had to put down their hoses and use saws to cut through the doors that were reinforced to fend off burglars. the fire seemed to start with something that sounded like an explosion. here's sky ranger over the scene. you can see just how big it was. four city blocks were shut down. one reason folks had to shelter in place there was because there's a housing complex and winds were pushing the smoke towards those homes. >> they made sure that they were doing face-to-face contacts with the residents throughout this incident. so far we're happy to say we've gotten no complaints. >> investigators say that once that building is deemed safe enough toenter, fire teams have have to go in and remove some of the contents of the warehouse before they can determine what the source was. hundreds of people protested in the streets of st. paul, minnesota, last night. they're upset that a police officer was found not guilty in the shooting death of philando
7:05 am
castile. the aftermath was scene on facebook as his girlfriend streamed it live. he told the officer that he had a licensed handgun in his pants pocket, but then he was shot as he was reaching for his i.d. the family was outraged that the officer was acquitted yesterday. >> and for that man to get on the stand and lie in front of the jurors, and i have enough human empathy and a conscience. >> the shooting last summer shocked weeks of protests and also flared racial tensions. a u.s. naval destroyer is back in its home port after colliding with a merchant ship off the coast of japan. the uss fitzgerald flanked by two tugboats and other support vessels slowly approached that port at a naval base south of tokyo this morning. the navy says that two crew members including the commanding officer were airlifted with injuries. seven american sailors are still missing. that ship did suffer severe
7:06 am
damage. this is being called a major rollback in u.s. policy toward cuba. president trump reversing some of the obama-era policies with that communist nation. local congresswoman barbara lee who was the architect of some of those policies under the obama administration is back in the bay area. she's here at home and has plenty to say about trump's changes. here's "today in the bay's" ian hall. >> doesn't make any sense. why go back to a policy that's failed for 55 years? >> reporter: congresswoman barbara lee of oakland ki disappointed the president rolled back policies she fought hard for as the co-chair of the cuba working group. >> given whatever difficulties they have and we have, we should be able to work it out through normal diplomatic dialogue and trade regulations. >> effective immediately i'm canceling the last administration's completely one-sided deal with cuba.
7:07 am
>> reporter: president trump said this policy is designed to isolate the cuban castro regime. >> we'll not be silent in the face of communist oppression any longer. >> reporter: you'll still be able to travel to cuba, but it will be harder and restricted compared to the obama policies. americans will be prohibited from spending money at businesses or hotels owned by the cuban military which are common there. lee says it will hurt american jobs created through private cuban businesses. >> we're pushing back, but the public has got to push back. this is the time to be vigilant, have your members of congress sign on to our bill. >> reporter: marco rube ye applauding the changes. if cuban people are hurt it will be because the castro government doesn't allow them to own their own business, not because of the new policies. we are learning more about the gunman behind the deadly rampage at a u.p.s. facility in san francisco this week.

==/r good morning to you. looking live at downtown san jose. if you peek through the trees there, you'll see the setup for the 36th annual juneteenth celebration. it's the largest commemoration of the end of slavery. this time around the focus will be on achievement and a little bit of fun with some music and good food out there. if you're headed to that juneteenth celebration in downtown san jose at plaza cesar chavez or the other fun things happening around the bay area, remember your sunscreen, remember to hydrate. we have dangerous temperatures in the forecast. the warriors are extra gold number the city of oakland because not only did they bring home the nba championship. they're also picking up the $4 million tab for the victory parade. the city of oakland which would normally have to pick up that tab is not going to have to pay a dime.
7:16 am
during thursday's rally the team's owner announced that they would pay for it all. b.a.r.t. also had its fifth highest ridership day in history. the number one highest ridership day was a 2012 victory parade for the san francisco giants. a lot to do this weekend including the final weekend of the san mateo's county fair. it will end on a high note and a hot note but all the animals are being kept indoors or under shelters because of the high heat. as for the people, there are water stations, plenty of sweet, cool treats to help beat the heat. and bay area band smashmouth is performing at the fair tonight. this hot weekend is also the opening weekend for the alameda county fair in pleasanton. one of the places headed to hit the triple digits today. a number of people have been treated for heat illness. >> reporter: whether you're into rides, games or mouth-watering
7:17 am
fried food, everyone has a favorite at the alameda county fair. >> the funnel cakes. >> the animals. >> the ice cream. >> reporter: but the fair's opening weekend is also specked to be the hottest weekend so far this year. communications manager angel moore says come prepared. >> drink plenty of water. make sure you wear your sunscreen. wear loose fitting clothing when you come to the fair. take a break. >> reporter: to cool off grab shade or duck into an exhibit hall for ac. >> building c, just a little tip, the most air conditioned building. it's so cool in there. >> reporter: or go to one of five misting stations set up around the fairgrounds. >> one at each entrance gate then again here where our fire team is and our medical team. >> reporter: the medical team with the clinic has now set up an extra staff on hand. >> we're expecting a lot of heat-related emergencies. we're well prepared to help deal with any heat-related injuries. >> we have a lot of water and we'll keep drinking water all day and lots of sunscreen.
7:18 am
>> reporter: they're determined not to let the heat fizzle out their summertime fun. >> you get used to it out here. not so bad. >> it's the fair. so if you're headed out to the fair or really anywhere outside, hydrate before you head out. don't wait until you're thirsty. at that point it's too late. consider that drinks with alcohol or caffeine aren't really going to count towards your hydration. cars heat up really fast. in this kind of heat a closed car can go from 99 degrees to a deadly 123 in just an hour. check the backseat. and don't walk your pets. if the ground is too hot for you to go barefoot, it can burn your dog's paws. know the signs of heatstroke. if someone is overheated or confused or dizzy, get out of the heat and call a doctor. vianey arana is watching this microclimate weather alert right now. we complain about the heat but it's not just complaining, it's
7:19 am
about being careful. >> that's why we've issued a microclimate alert because it will be dangerously hot. with all the people going out and enjoying the weekend, it is father's day weekend, so i assume a lot of people will be barbecuing this weekend, one thing to definitely keep in mind is the hot temperatures for inland areas. right now we're in the 50s and the 60s, but i do want to point out that we've been in the 60s since about 5:00 a.m. nice and breezy. and right now it looks like peninsula's going to be the best way to catch a break. now, the number one reason for this heat wave that we are expecting in the bay area over the next several days is we've got this hot air building in from the desert southwest and we've got this high pressure and that's going to keep us dry and hot for the next several days. we're talking about a streak that could possibly go into between seven, eight, nine possibly even ten days, even though the official start of summer isn't until the 20th.
7:20 am
now, this is why the national weather service has issued a heated ed advisory was schedule remain in effect until monday but it's been extended until wednesday. inland temps can range from 94 to 103. this does also equal high fire danger. if you will be outside barbecuing, keep that in mind. an excessive heat warning will take effect for solano county as early as tomorrow and through wednesday. fairfield 106, dixon 108. definitely dangerous heat. this could carry on over through the start of the work week. we're expecting hotter temps even tomorrow as we head into father's day we could see more triple digits than today. today's forecast expecting a predicted high of 98 in livermore. half moon bay 67, san francisco
7:21 am
76, so definitely a great idea to get away, but that means the beaches will probably be pretty packed. today we'll be in the 60s and the 70s in pacifica if you're heading to half moon bay. but keep in mind a couple of beach safety tips. it is father's day weekend. a lot of people will be out and about. if you do get caught in a rip current, swim parallel to the rip current, parallel to the water, never try to swim against it. always check for warning flags. that temperature trend in concord expected to be one of the hottest for today. we'll be climbing into the triple digits for the afternoon and over the next several days san francisco will stick to the 70s. but as that high pressure continues to build in, this dangerous heat, look at all the triple digit temperatures, sunday expected to be one of the hottest days of the week. we keep the triple digits in mind. so something to keep in mind not just for this weekend but as we head into summer in the bay area. i will have a complete look at
7:22 am

7:31 am
the 90s and triple digits. ocean beach 50, inland areas in the 60s and concord already at 72 degrees. concord is expected to be one of the hottest today hitting a predicted high of 103 degrees. the main reason for why we're seeing all of this dangerous heat in the beginning of this heat wave is we've got that high pressure building in and we've got a lot of hot air coming in from the desert southwest. and that's going to keep things nice and dry and nice and hot, which, of course, also creates fire danger. if anybody's going to be out there sparking barbecues, the heat advisory will remain in effect. as of now, it was until monday, but they have extended that until wednesday. inland tems will range from 94 to 103. we'll be getting record temps. and i'll also break down father's day planners for tomorrow. something to keep in mind, coming up about 7:45. >> maybe instead of something for the grill take that to an air conditioned restaurant.
7:32 am
vianey says it is just the beginning of a week-long heat wave. triple digit heat has firefighters and doctors preparing for what could be a busy couple of days ahead. the staff at washington hospital in fremont tells us ta that they're already getting ready for folks who overdo it in the heat. dr. khoi lam works the night shift. he tells us the e.r. was already getting busy last night. he says if folks can avoid heat exhaustion and heatstroke they can do it by avoiding the hottest parts of the day, hydrating early and often and not staying in the sun for too long. >> by the time they came here, it's later and harder and more difficult and the more critical condition. the way to prevent that is to take early measures and be aware of the surroundings and symptoms. >> alameda county fire fires are bracing themselves. you may have noticed all the tall grass and the shrubs fed by this winter's heavy rains. it is droi and ready to burn. don't throw anything flammable
7:33 am
out of the car window. don't pull your car over into high grass if you have engine trouble and you can avoid it and don't cut your grass during the hottest parts of the day because the blades on your lawn mower could spark a fire. if you head out to your kid's practices now, going to aest iffival or some other event, you can stay on top of the advisory from our nbc bay area free app. monitor the conditions from the palm of your hand and yet updates for where you live. a deadly shooting involving a police officer in the east bay. it happened around 11:30 last night on the 2300 block of manzanita way and antioch. it's between antioch high school and route 4. investigators are not telling us what led officers to shoot a man there. his identity is not being revealed but we do know he's from antioch. the antioch police officer who fired his weapon was not injured in the incident. now, the contra costa county

7:35 am
complaints. >> once it's deemed safe enough to enter, fire teams will go into the building to remove some of the contents of that warehouse to try and figure out what the source was. new arrests this morning in a ruthless attack against a bay area lyft driver. it happened earlier this we're on 101 in south san francisco and it was caught on camera. the three men all under arrest in connection with the beating back in march. chp is still looking for one more suspect. a group of dirt bikers surrounded a lyft driver on the freeway after the driver tried to drive around the bikers who were performing stunts on 101. you can see the suspects pulled that driver out of his car, then they started beating him to the ground. he was hospitalized with serious injuries. the witness videos helped in this investigation. >> very serious. very serious attack on this gentleman. and so there was no way that we were going to not work this case and forget about it. >> there is one more suspect that the police are still

a couple of clouds here and there, but what we're really talking about taking center stage is this heat wave. peninsula right now at 64 tri-valley at 67, san francisco's going o be probably one of the coolest areas along the coast as well because we're talking about that dangerous heat. and we've been previewing it for the past couple of days. it's all thanks to some very, very hot air building in from the desert southwest. we've got this ridge of high pressure. that's going to keep the bay area nice and dry and hot for the next several days. as we head into the official start of summer on the 20th. now, this is the reason why the national weather service has issued a heat advisory and that will take effect at about 11:00 a.m. and that's because temps will climb very quickly. some areas will see 80s as early as 9:30, 10:00 a.m. we'll see a range from 94 to possibly 103 degrees in inland areas. all the shaded areas are under a heat advisoradvisory, initially
7:45 am
was until monday but now extended to wednesday. solano county is under an extensive heat warning. you can see why. these are actually temps headed into tomorrow. tomorrow the temps will climb even more. they'll be even hotter than today. look at this, venetia 100, even into fairfield, 106, dixon 108 degrees. so definitely dangerously high. a couple of thins to keep in mind if you are going to be anywhere outside or taking your pets outside, please remember their paws can burn. check on your elderly neighbors and protect any plants or pets. the hottest areas to be napa, concord, concord expecting a high of 103, napa 101. san jose 94, morgan hill 98. and livermore 98 and along the coastline that big difference. we go from 60s to 103. that really highlights the

7:47 am
