in san jose. by the afternoon it will change. it will get hotter. the coast will see low 60s but further inland we're talking about a 30 degree increase in temperatures. drive a couple of miles further inland and you're at about 90, 95. san francisco a little hazy. i want to show you this cam, because it shows off that nice marine layer that will be keeping the coastline cool. san jose will be quick to warm. only bonus of this ridge of high pressure is it means a lot of sunshine. nice weather to go outside. stay hydrated. stay in the shade. still hot out there and tracking smokey conditions from the wildfires. >> so many fires burning across the state. hundreds of people were forced to evacuate a brush fire quickly exploded to 150 acres. now destroyed at least eight homes. the fire is burning in the berryessa highlands community in

napa county. you're looking there at that neighborhood. the area around steele canyon road was ordered to evacuate approximately the steele fire broke out about 4:30 yesterday afternoon. fire crews used helicopters water drops to attack flames. residents say the situation escalated quickly. >> i'm watching fires and come up to my house and watching like propane tanks explode. it was insane. i drove out of the court and i literally was watching our neighbor's house burned. it was insane. >> a very scary site for folks there. berryessa highlands is a development of a few hundred homes. it's built on a peninsula. firefighters say that location is posing a major challenge for crews. now one of the members of our own nbc bay area family was among the people told to evacuate the area. she documented the experience as she and her family were told to leave. >> reporter: hey guys.

we have just been told we need to evacuate the premises. evacuations are under way right now. >> we're happy to report jessica and her family are safe this morning. a question now for many of those evacuees where people can go. crosswalk church is welcoming evacuees at 2590 first street. it's not just about being in the know. we're giving you life-saving information. follow us online, follow us at twitter, our handle is @nbcbayarea. >> aggressive and unprecedented how firefighters are describing the carr fire. it's killed five people including two children and it has now forced more than 38,000 people to evacuate their homes. more than 500 buildings have been destroyed including homes belonging to first responders, including the chief of police of redding. we go to redding for continued

coverage. >> reporter: good morning. neighborhoods like this one on long harlan drive here in redding are reduced to a pile of ash and debris. carr fire moves in separate directions. there are multiple wildfires going on right now in northern california. resources are stretched thin, and with fires raging in mendocino county and napa county some of the crews that were here in shasta county are heading south. we followed a cal fire crew deep into the canyons of igo, a rural community 13 miles southwest of redding. fire crews took advantage of low winds to build a defensible space between flames and homes under threat. crews are working 24 hour shifts. they are hopeful they can make progress for the next several days. >> i don't know why it's doing what it's doing. it's burning differently. burning more aggressive than it has in years past. >> reporter: from the sky to the

cal fire front line, there's no way to miss the speed at which the carr fire is roaring through shasta county. >> i know we say that every year, but it's unprecedented. >> reporter: we followed the cal fire crew deep into the canyons of igo a rural community about 20 miles away from redding. >> conditions are perfect. not a lot of wind. these fire crews are trying to create a defensible space to prevent the main head fire from destroying that home. >> we'll get a handle on this fire. it will take a while. >> reporter: fire crews work in 24 hour shifts, the pain is now 24/7 for ed bledsoe of redding. his wife was watching over their two great-grandchildren on thursday when flames surrounded their home on court hill drive. >> when you have a 70-year-old woman in poor health that can't go sprinting down the road like an nfl leaderboard and you have

two small children, a 5-year-old and 4-year-old. >> reporter: the fire said they never heard of an evacuation order. if they heard it ed would have made sure his loved ones got out. >> imagine a home not at home with his wife and grandchildren. he was trying to get supplies. imagine how you can't blame yourself even though that man did nothing wrong. >> reporter: wildfire crews work in 24 hour shifts. the pain is now 24/7 for the bledsoe family of redding. 70-year-old melody bledsoe was with her two great-grandkids. the family claims they heard no evacuation order and the three were trapped inside their home. the family confirmed on saturday that all three died in the fire. looting is another concern and redding police tell us they have beefed up security, particularly in evacuated neighborhoods just like this one. latinos the latest here in

bay bridge toll plaza homeless... and jobless. here's a live look at the bay bridge. don't you wish it looked like that during the work days. no traffic. clear skies over oakland. homeless and jobless. that's not hopeless. one south bay man's bold idea to get a job has gone viral. here's the story from mountain view. >> reporter: i was homeless and hungry. >> homeless and getting desperate david said he decided to make a bold move. so on friday he stood at an intersection in mountain view

that's all i'm asking. >> we wish him well. david tells us he's heard from tech companies here in the bay area, around the country and even canada asking him to send his resume. he's feeling very hopeful. the 40th annual garlic festival is drawing big crowds in gilroy. 100,000 visitors are expected to stop by and as you can imagine, there's plenty to eat, all things garlic including ice cream. festival goers were impressed by the offerings. >> i'm eating garlic fries. good. >> she was eating while talking with us. celebrity chefs are on hand to show you all the ways you can cook up garlic. gates re-open at 10:00 this morning. we saw the flames in the pot there. probably going to be another hot one in gilroy. >> roasted garlic by mother nature. another hot day. this will stick around not just

for today but really into the start of the work week ahead. let's go ahead and get right to it. i want to show you this eyes shot wood side. it shows you the hazy skies, cloud cover there. we have that nice marine lay ee hugging the coastline. current temperatures right now in san francisco, 52 degrees. half moon bay 54. further inland 65 degrees in san jose. right now if you notice the range, not very big. all temperatures are very similar. but we are expecting a big jump especially in the interior valleys. let's talk about the reason for that. we do still have this ridge of high pressure that's dominating, sitting over the region and expected to weaken into the middle of the week. but despite it weakening just a bit it will stick around and hold on tight and unfortunately that will continue to bring dangerous heat especially to central california, temperatures upwards of 110 degrees, intense heat, dangerous heat is expected

to linger. which is not good news especially with all of those active fires burning. we have extreme fire danger will continue. red flag warning currently in place where the redding carr fire is actively burning, gusty winds at times to kick upwards of 30 plus. we're dealing with triple-digit heat. also low humidity. as we know those embers can quickly fly when dealing with gusty conditions. looking at mendocino complex fire, dealing with heat advisories. the orange signifies the red flag warning. they are expected to remain in effect, especially through the weekend because of those high winds, gusty conditions and relatively low humidity. as far as your daytime highs here in the south bay, we're expecting to climb into the upper 80s once again.

89 degrees for east san jose. los gatos 82. we expect some of the warmest temperatures, further inland like concord 92. oakland is expected to stay at about 72 degrees. much more comfortable weather along the coastline. san mateo 72 degrees if you head into the city. temperatures very similar to yesterday. 60s, breezy conditions at times along the coast. winds picking up five to 15 miles per hour. north bay 86 degrees for santa rosa. over the next several days here's what you can expect. keep those clouds in the forecast. if you notice, no big changes in san francisco. we're going to remain in the mid-60s for the rest of the week. as i was mentioning with the weakening of that ridge of high pressure we're going warm up more as we head into monday. it isn't until monday and tuesday where we see relief from the heat as that ridge of high pressure starts to weaken even more but still holds on steady over the bay area.

right now you can tell we're not tracking any rain or major cooling in the bay area. i'll send it back to you. thank you. still ahead on "today in the bay" a local woman goes on a 500 mile run around the bay area. what inspired this jog and so-called animal run? we'll show you on this morning's bay area proud. you know when you're at ross shopping for backpacks... ...and mom also gets a back-to-school bag? that's yes for less. ross has the brands you want for back to school. and it feels even better when you find them for less. at ross. yes for less.

...and you suddenly realizes you're really into art? that's yes for less. every trend. every room. on any budget. it feels even better when you find it for less. at ross. yes for less. around the bay and is 500 miles did you know there's a san francisco bay trail that runs around the bay area and it's 500 miles long. hearing that you might think that's interesting. one peninsula woman had a much different thought. we explain in this morning's bay area proud. >> reporter: ilene's reaction was 500 miles, i'll run that. in one month. and in the process, help some animals in need. >> okay. so i think i'm set. i don't think i need anything

else. >> reporter: of all the things she bought in order to get ready for a 500 mile run, shoes, sunscreen. one thing, we'll tell you more about this san mateo 46-year-old than any other. ilene bought these. >> i bought crutches. i bought crutches because if it comes to that i'll finish on crutches. >> reporter: the word "can't" is in ilene's vocabulary. just don't expect to hear it. ever. >> anything is possible. absolutely. >> reporter: ilene said she learned that at the age of 28 when without any athletic background she finished her first marathon. she moved on to ultramarathons and hundred mile runs, each time proving to herself that, yes, anything was possible. and so last march when her nephew asked her a seemingly innocent question, how many miles is it around the bay?

the answer, 500 sounded to ilene like a challenge. >> this is so obvious this is what i need to do. this is very clear. >> reporter: so for the move july wasn't the help of rotating crew of friends ilene is running every single one of those 500 miles. not just with that goal, but with a mission. ilene is using the run as publicity for animal run, a series of road races she's organizing starting this august in fremont. they will raise money for ilene's other passion, animal welfare organizations. ilene says while there have been tough times on the trail, the thought of giving up has never occurred to her. the good company. and the beautiful surprises make this the right thing to do. particularly for the type of person who doesn't think can't. >> that's the hard part in life. is knowing what you want. this is what i want.

and then after that everything kind of became easy. >> reporter: ilene's dream is that animal run becomes a nationwide organization and already has two more runs set up outside of california. well if you have a story idea for our bay area proud series, let us know about it. post it on our facebook page. find it by looking at garland thomas. coming up we have more on a local community that was forced to evacuate as the wildfire erupted here in the bay area. also she was just released from jail. but she turned up dead at an east bay b.a.r.t. station. details of the unusual investigation now under way. sj l

good morning, time now is 7:27. good sunday morning. it is sunday, july 29th, 2018. the month is flying by. a live look at san jose from our camera atop communications hill. good morning. thank you for waking up with us.

here's a look at your microclimate forecast across the bay. microclimate sort of close. we're talking about hot pretty much every where. >> pretty much except the coast. we have that natural mother nature ac and that's exactly what we're seeing out there, the marine layer keeping us nice and cool. it's also hazy. look at the shot of woodside. temperatures remain in the 50s. we have some 60s on the map. 62 in san jose. no huge rains right now but come the afternoon, wait for it, this ridge of high pressure will warm us up. it's going to warm us up rather quickly. upper 80s to 90s out there. expect to hit the triple-digit mark. we have, unfortunately, still a couple of red flag warnings for areas where wildfires are actively burning. and heat advisories in central california. i'll go into full detail on that. i'll have your complete breakdown of how long this ridge of high pressure is going to be

warming us up. i think, you know, a lot of folks yesterday -- if you went to the venetia waterfront festival thanks for coming out. i had a blast talking to viewers. of course, very cool. >> thank you very much. hundreds of people are forced to evacuate their homes this morning. a fast-moving brush fire quickly grew to 150 acres. it has now destroyed eight homes. it's burning in the berryessa highlands community. the area around steele canyon road was ordered to evacuate. they are calling at any time steele fire. it broke out about 4:30 yesterday afternoon. fire crews used helicopters dropping water there. you see it's trying attack those flames and put it out. residents say they didn't have much time to get out. >> i'm watching fires and coming up to my house and watching like propane tanks explode.

it was insane. i drove out of the court and i literally was watching our neighbor's house burning. it was insane. >> not a site people want to see but unfortunately a familiar one. berryessa highlands is a development of a few hundred homes. it's built on a peninsula. firefighters say the sloiks an added challenge for crews to get to those flames. cross walk community church is welcoming evacuees. that church at 2590 first street. be sure to follow nbc bay area online for important news updates. we tweet out the mandatory evacuation order right when it was issued. follow us on twitter. our handle is @nbcbayarea. they are calling it aggressive and unprecedented. firefighters describing the carr fire in shasta county that killed five people including two children and forced more than 38,000 people out of their homes. more than 500 buildings have been destroyed including homes

belonging to first responders. we go to redding for our continued coverage. >> reporter: good morning. neighborhoods like this one along harlan drive here in redding are reduced to a pile of ash and debris. this as the carr fire continues to move in separate directions. there are multiple wildfires going on right now in northern california. resources are stretched thin. and with fires raging in mendocino county and napa county some crews that were here in shasta county are headed south. we followed a cal fire crew deep into the canyons of igo, a rural community 13 miles southwest of redding. fire crews took advantage of the low winds to build a defensible space between the flames and homes under threat. crews are working 24 hour shifts but despite the exhausting elements they are hopeful they can make progress for the next several days. >> i don't know why it's doing what it's doing. it's burning differently.

it's burning more aggressive than it has in years past. >> reporter: from the sky to the cal fire front line there's no way to miss the speed at which the carr fire is roaring through shasta county. >> i know we say that every year but it's unprecedented. >> reporter: we followed a cal fire crew deep into the canyons of igo a rural community about 20 miles away from redding. >> conditions are perfect. not a lot of wind. that means these fire crews are trying to create a defensible space to prevent the main head fire from destroying that home. >> there will be an end in sight. we'll gate handle on this fire. >> reporter: while fire crews work in 24 hour shifts, the pain is now 24/7 for ed bledsoe of redding. his wife melody was watching over their two great-grandkids on thursday when flames surrounded their home on court hill drive. >> when you have a 70-year-old

woman in poor health that can't go down sprinting like an nfl leaderboard and two small children. >> reporter: the family says they never heard an evacuation order. if they had heard it, woed have made sure his loved ones got out. >> imagine being the man that wasn't at home with his wife and grandchildren that he's been raising since day one because he was told not to be at home and trying to get supplies. imagine how you can't blame yourself even though that man did nothing wrong. >> reporter: wildfire crews work in 24 hour shifts. the pain is now 24/7 for the bledsoe family of redding. 70-year-old melody bledsoe was with her two great grand-kids. the family claims they heard no evacuation order and the three were trapped inside their home. the family confirmed on saturday that all three died in the fire. looting is another concern. and redding police tell us they have beefed up security,

particularly in evacuated neighborhoods just like this one. that's the latest here in redding. great reporting. hundreds of homes gone as you heard hearsay including the home of the redding police chief. chief roger moore lost his home of nearly 20 years thursday night. it didn't stop him from helping people to get to safety. moore said as flames approached the house his family got their pets, priceless photos and important documents. they got out. >> i'm numb to it right now. there will be time to reflect on that. it has been devastating to my family. but we'll make it through. >> not just the chief. two other police officers also lost their homes. the carr fire is forcing people and animals to evacuate approximately shelters here in the bay area are stepping up to help. volunte volunteers are in walnut creek and helped shasta shelters make room for animals displaced by

fire. one shelter took in 500 animals. fast-moving flames are forcing volunteers to evacuate the animals to a smaller temporary shelter. >> we were put on alert today that they are going to have to evacuate and move all of the animals that are currently housed in the shelter into their temporary space. >> volunteers brought dozens of cats and dogs from that shelter they're the bay area. they are in need of foster homes. they are hoping to have them ready for adoption or temporary relief by wednesday. state of emergency is in place in mendocino and lake counties. the governor made the declaration as the fires continue to burn. both fires sparked on friday. last night engines from san francisco and contra costa county headed up to help on front lines. mandatory evacuations are under way including those for a hospital.

flames have scorched more than 24,000 acres. cal fire says that fire is just 5% contained. we turn to other news. an investigation is under way after a gruesome discovery at a b.a.r.t. station. a woman was found dead early saturday morning at the dublin station. just hours before she was found that woman was released from jail. detectives do not know yet how she died. but they say she a big bump on her head. they also reviewed body cam videos from deputies at the jail. that video didn't show that injury when she left. they are looking at b.a.r.t. security video to see if the woman was assaulted anywhere at the station. the coroner is set to perform an autopsy tomorrow. the search is on for a man who shot and killed his roommate. this is the man pittsburg police are looking for. police say they got a report friday morning of a man shot at a house on livewood house drive.

and he's going to fix it. >> reporter: factcheck.org says this tweet by president trump includes misstatements that he's been repeating for weeks. >> he said farmers have been on a downward trend for 15 years. it's the last five years not 15. doesn't have anything to do with trade. >> reporter: agriculture economists say trade has been a bright spot for farmers. exports totalled $140.5 billion in fiscal year 2017. the third highest amount on record. and produced an annual trade surplus of 21.3 billion, up almost 30% from fiscal year 2016. >> over the last five years they have been, farmers have been producing a lot because the weather has been good. these are the conversations i've had with agricultural economists. and so prices are low because production is so high. >> reporter: the same tweet also says the price of soybeans has fallen 50% since five years

before the election. a big reason is bad trade deals with other countries. >> when he's referring to prices falling 50%, yes that's true, but it has nothing to do with trade. and the reason was because of the drought in 2012. artificially increased the prices. >> reporter: the drought cut the supply of soybeans which pushed up the price. the the price returned to normal levels. 1r5 years of struggling the president refers to includes the golden period for farmers which began in 2011. >> that's the golden period used by the congressional research service. farm income was at an all time high and it peaked in 2014. so, to say that they've been having hard times in the last 15 years is inaccurate by the one measure that would be the most important farm income. still ahead on "today in the bay," hate crimes are on the

california department of justice finds that in 2017 hate crimes increased s a recent report issued by the california department of justice finds in 2017 hate crimes increased statewide by 17.4% over the previous year. in the bay area hate crimes climbed a whopping 30% and in santa clara county the increase was 43% over the previous year. our political analyst joins us this morning. obviously these are troubling statistics. especially in the bay area. let's talk about the actual definition of a hate crime. >> amazing when you say the bay area. that's, i think, part of this whole mystic. you have to begin by defining what a hate crime is, which

according to state law is any act of intimidatation, harassment, physical force or threat of physical force directed against person because of their race, national origin, religion, sexual gender, disability. most haste crimes occur because of a person's race or religion and commonly occur in major cities and as a matter of fact, of the nation's ten largest cities in 2017, san jose led the way with the largest increase of hate crimes. a jump of 132% from the previous year. >> that data is astonishing, especially insurance northern californians like to pride themselves on having this reputation for embracing tolerance and diversity. are some groups targeted more than others? >> true. historically hate crimes have focused on african-americans and jews. in the past couple of years we've seen a surge of crimes

again against muse aluminums and latinos. hate crimes are rising two times faster than the national average. in 2016, the last year for state and national data, hate crimes went up nationally by 5.4%. in california, hate crimes, the same year, increased by 11.7%. we like to think of the thousands, rural areas, but the epicenter is here. >> how do you account for this and is it in part because you have so many people from so many background mixing it up here in the bay area that there will be confli conflict? >> that's an important question because it's so hard to pinpoint any one answer or cause but we do know this. the united states is going through a period prove found demographic change. in 1990 the united states was 76% nonhispanic white. by 2015 u.s. was 61% nonhispanic

white. that's quite a change over a short period of time. really a generation. projections suggest by mid-2040s u.s. will reach minority majority status. >> people sometimes say that there is a relationship between a surge in hate crimes and the president's political divisiveness, the conflict in this country. do you think that's fair? what is behind this? >> that could be part of it. we know this much. the trump campaign this, is fair stuff here focused on immigration in america. recall trump's comments about muslims. he said they hate us. about mexicans coming to the united states. they are murderers and rapists. and recall about comments about white spremtists they have a right to protest as anyone else. that kind of divisiveness gets baked in and it showed up in the 2016 election. researchers at that time found that 83% of trump voters in 2016

believe that a minority-minority nation nonwhite groups in that nation would demand too much public service and that figure for clinton voters was 29%. quite a difference. now, look we shouldn't jump to conclusions that all trump voters were racists and all clinton voters were not especially when clinton won a huge margin in california where the state experienced a much higher rate of hate crimes. >> what are some of the take aways we can take. when you see the numbers it's astonishing. >> a tragedy. really a tragedy. the golden state is a bit more tarnished than some of us might have realized. californians may have voted for hillary clinton but the state's population is anything but comfortable over its composition. it's racial composition. and a disproportionate

percentage of it comes in the form of hate crimes. >> you said muslims and latinos are seeing the bigger gains as opposed to historically african-americans and jewish people. thank you very much for that eye-opening discussion. still ahead, good news from a fire burning in napa county. hazy out there. you're going to notice some smoke especially if you're in the north bay. walnut creek, you can see this shot using our weather underground cameras. it will remain hot and dry for next several days. i'll have your complete break down of how long temperatures will go up.

good morning. 7:52, we're seeing a bit of some cloud cover out there. hazy skies expected to linger really all day long into the start of your work week as well. nice shot of woodside using our weather underground cameras. you'll notice it will remain smokey especially out in the north bay area because of all the fires that are actively burning. current temperatures in the 50s. 52 degrees in san francisco. 54 for half moon bay. but we still have that ridge of high pressure that will once again warm us up very nicely into the upper 80s and some 90s. what does that mean for the bay area? we'll remain cooler along the coast with that marine layer. further inland even into central california we're tracking dangerous heat and that

dangerous heat is expected to stick around for the next several days. temperatures will climb above 115 in some areas, including down through southern california as well. as this ridge of high pressure continues to settle over the bay area here's what you can expect in terms of your daytime temperatures for today. 85 degrees expected in san jose. east san jose 89 degrees. eastbound, typically further inland is where we see the warmest temperatures. livermore 92. you can see that range of temperatures where we've got 60s on the map, 70s, 80s and 90s. definitely a wide range. microclimate forecast along the peninsula 72 degrees in san mateo. heading in to the city temperatures remain in the 60s. you'll notice a slight breeze as well. up near the north bay, santa rosa, 87 degrees.

novato, 86. right near redding red flag warning remains effect, a carr fire, low humidity. near record dry temperatures really fuel these fires. pair that up with low humidity and gusty conditions at times can make for a very dangerous situation that can turn rather quickly. we're also talking about the mendocino complex fire, also dealing with similar conditions as well. poor air quality expected. that heat advisory does remain in effect for the highlighted areas. two active wildfires burning as well. humidity remains below 20%. let's talk about this smoke and how it might affect your day for today. if you're going to be outside i do want to take you through some of the higher levels of poor air quality and that's going to be due to smoke drifting to the southeast. through the highest smoke levels in the north this afternoon. you can see up here we got severity index, the yellow and

blue staying nice along the coast. as we take this further inland it starts to get moderate to severe and through the monday morning hours we're expecting the highest levels to still remain in the north bay. so definitely close out all of those windows. limit outdoor activity. if you have pets out there see any type of ash falling bring them indoors. take extra time to plan out your day. over the next seven days here's what you can expect. 60s on the map in san francisco. no big changes. a bit of a shift in the middle of the week for inland temperatures. mid-90s and start to see a nice decrease into 80s but we still are on the warm side. even though this ridge of high pressure is beginning to weaken, it's still going to remain over the bay area and that's unfortunately going to keep us extremely dry and hot for next several days which as you know for the wildfires that's not a good combination. so, we're going to keep a close eye on all of the temperatures throughout the bay area and

hopefully by next week see a little bit more relief. >> not much of a break from the '90 in this forecast. >> here's a bit of good news coming out of redding this morning. take a look. these chp officers rescued that baby deer from the carr fire. that fawn was too close to the flames. officers took him with them. celebrations along the waterfront in the eastbound. people turned out for a popular festival in venetia including our own. it was windy out there. the waterfront festival kicked off yesterday morning. it's going on again today. plenty of tents filled with crafts, food, beer and wine scattered across the green. that's our very own sky ranger mobile doppler. very cool hi-tech equipment gives us the best ability to forecast your weather. thank you for making us a part of your morning.
