i've been here for years. rockin' my peers. puttin' suckas in fear. don't you dare stare. you better move. listen to the bass go boom. i'm gonna knock you out. mama said knock you out. don't call it a comeback. i've been here for years. - - - - here is a live look outside -- good saturday morning. it is 7:00 on the dot. oh, a beautiful look at the sun shining over the transamerica pyramid in san francisco. can't quite see the golden gate bridge, but nothing surprising there. thanks so much for joining us on this september 8th. i'm kira klapper. vianey arana has a look at our microclimate forecast. >> and you saw that fog kind of off behind building. look at this shot. this is on top of our sutro

camera tower and you can see that fog really rolling through. we've got a nice little marine layer building over san francisco, wind speeds are at about 13 miles per hour. as we head in towards the afternoon, we should clear out nicely but we're actually into some slightly cooler temperatures, especially for the north bay, waking up to 40s this morning, 47 degrees in santa rosa. we haven't seen 40s in a while. san jose 58 degrees, santa cruz 49, and i do want to show you a quick check of your temperature trend because today's average highs will be in the 80s but some inland areas are expected to see some 90s on the map so we're in for a little bit of a warming trend today, topping out in san jose into the mid 80s. plenty of sunshine through tomorrow. i'll tell you how long these temperatures will last before some fall temperatures roll around. >> we'll check in. thousands of people today are expected to take to the streets of san francisco in a march against climate change. rise for climate, jobs, and justice california, as it's been

called, is set to begin in just about two hours from now. "today in the bay" is live in san francisco's justin herman plaza with more on this morning's event. prt of a bigger movement happening across the world today. good morning. >> reporter: that's right, kira. thousands are expected to gather here in san francisco, as you mentioned. in just about two hours. now, organizers say this will be the largest march for climate change ever on the west coast and the san francisco march is one of 500 events planned in more than 90 countries. now today's march is being called bringing people together to unite against climate change. organizers say one of the main messages today is that to change everything, it takes everyone. this is not just about climate change but a system change. the focus will be on to the health impacts associated with oil and gas production, how to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and what local communities are doing to create solutions to global warming. it all kicks off at 8:30 this

morning with an interfaith prayer service that starts here at justin herman plaza. at 10:00 a.m., they'll start to organize and gather, and then at 11:00 a.m., the march from baerkd to civic center. from 1:2:00 to 4:00, there will be a resource center where groups will showcase what they've done and what people can do to get involved. this comes ahead of the summit in san francisco. the summit was put together by governor jerry brown after president trump withdrew the united states from the paris climate agreement. it will draw leaders from the climate change movement from around the world. now again, thousands of people are expected to turn out. much of san francisco's downtown will be closed off. there will be a large police presence so if you're planning oncoming out, public transportation will be a good option. reporting live in san francisco, anser hassan, "today in the bay." >> a good warning for everyone taking to the streets, thanks. at 7:03, we take you to shass to county where the delta fire continues to rage.

31,000 acres burned, 0% containment. this is new video from the fire zone overnight. so far, no large communities are threatened but the biggest impact is the continued closure of i-5. >> again, it's a top priority. >> between mt. shasta and redding will be closed until at least sunday. >> based on what we believe fireside and then on the law enforcement side. >> i-5 is a major thoroughfare for truckers and tourists. as the flames picked up, crews were trying to save homes in the path of the fire. yet another problem for the problematic millennium tower in san francisco. a fix is in the works for a cracked window on the 36th floor. our investigative unit broke this story earlier this week. this is just the latest problem for a residential tower that has sunk 18 inches. city inspectors issued a citation and ordered building owners to assess the danger. the homeowners associations report to the city, says experts

can't tell if it's an isolated issue or another sane of ign of instability at the leaning skyscraper. >> it could be isolated or it could be more systemic throughout the building i. needs further investigation. >> an attorney for the tower's homeowners association tells us the window is secured with special silicone taped inside the unit, but not secure outside because the building's maintenance platform is broken. an engineering firm plans to have someone repel down from the top of the 58th story building to perform that fix. what started a fire at a recycling plant in the east bay? it happened yesterday afternoon in san leandro. firefighters found a tesla in the ashes but right now it's unclear if that car had anything to do with what sparked the fire. the fire chief on the scene says this is the third fire at this location this year alone. former president barack obama is back in a big way after

staying out of the spotlight for a couple of years now. the former president yesterday gave a stirring speech pointed at president trump. today, he'll visit california. obama will be in anaheim campaigning for seven democratic congressional candidates running for office this november. they want to bump out some republicans in the traditional gop stronghold of orange county. as i just mentioned yesterday, president obama was at the rally at the university of illinois issuing a rare and candid critique of president trump. >> we're supposed to stand up to discrimination. and we're sure as heck supposed to stand up, clearly and unequivocally to nazi sympathizers. how hard can that be? saying that nazis are bad. stakes really are higher. the consequences of any of us sitting on the sidelines are more dire. >> at an event in north dakota, president trump responded,

saying he fell asleep during obama's speech and making the upcoming midterm election a referendum on his own future. >> they'll say, we want to impeach him and you'll impeach him. it's so ridiculous. but we'll worry about that if it ever happens. but if it does happen, it's your fault because you didn't go out to vote. >> two presidents fighting for the midterms and for america's future. at 7:07, we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." drivers beware, the planned implosion that will bring traffic to a fault on the bay bridge later this morning. and the puff seen around the world, elon musk appears to smoke weed during a podcast. the reason analysts say it's clouding his future with tesla.

welcome back, it's 7:09 on your saturday morning. the sun is shining as we look at traffic freely flowing through

the bay bridge toll plaza. vianey arana says these are the last few days of heat and we see a cooldown on the way. the downward spiral continues for elon musk. this video of the tesla and spacex ceo appearing to smoke pot during a podcast with joe rogan has got the attention of the feds. according to a government source, the air force is now investigating. that's because spacex provides services to the air force with multiple high value contracts and marijuana use is reportedly prohibited for someone with a government security clearance. soon after that video went viral, tesla stock dropped by nearly 7%, causing investors to lose millions of dollars. also more top executives at tesla announced their departures. "today in the bay" has the latest. >> reporter: this video didn't seem like a big deal to some people on social media and outside the tesla store on santa santana row in san jose. >> probably look at different parameters like how the car is doing, how it's performing, how much does it cost.

i think the ceo can do whatever he wants. >> reporter: but this video of a live podcast with tesla's ceo appearing to show elon musk smoking weed and drinking whiskey during the interview could mean trouble for tesla. that's according to marketing professor howard combs at san jose state university. >> he's really tweeted some things that are very strange and then went on this show and basically smoked weed, which is not a big deal except when you combine it with all the other things that he's been doing. it just doesn't create the right image for the company. >> reporter: there was concern last month after musk did an emotional interview about his long work hours and problems sleeping. then, he tweeted about taking tesla private and faced several lawsuits. he made headlines again after calling a diver who helped rescue boys trapped in a cave in thailand a pedophile. >> if the investors begin to bail, and it's down 10% today, that's not a good thing. >> reporter: meanwhile, several

top executives have quit at tesla, and the company's stock has dropped. nbc, bay area news. >> it's just shy of 7:12 right now. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, years after the new bay bridge was unveiled, today it will shut down for a bit as the last piece of the old bridge will be imploded. we'll tell you about a new feature that will allow you to walk out on to the water. and i bet you're getting ready to enjoy your weekend. 58 degrees in san jose but i am tracking more 90s in the forecast but how long are these 90s going to stick around? i'll have that answer coming up in just a bit. stay with us.

great pacific garbage patch in the middle of the ocean launches today from san francisco. today at noon, the ocean clean-up team is heading out on a boat to the polluted area between california and hawaii. you may have heard of it by now. it will tow a high-tech device built in alameda to clean up all that plastic pollution, more than 80,000 tons is floating there. every two months, the boat will come to take the trash away like a garbage truck in the middle of the ocean. the goal is to have nearly all of the plastic gone by the year 2040. all right, be warned if you'd like to head out on the bay bridge today. traffic will come to a halt briefly on the bridge. the last pieces of the old eastern span of the bay bridge will be destroyed in just a few hours. it will be gone for good. the planned implosion that you can see live online, we have the final chapter of the span that was first opened more than 80

years ago, and there's a new project once that old chunk is destroyed. "today in the bay's" sergio quintana explains. >> reporter: most drivers over the bay bridge on a friday night may not have noticed the preparations that are already in place for the demolition of the old bridge piers. from nbc bay area's sky ranger, you can see what crews have already set up. >> those piers will be the last two to be imploded so this is basically the end of the entire demolition process. >> reporter: and some residents who often ride over the eastern span have already heard about it. >> yeah, i heard they're blowing up the old bridge, and i think they're using some of the old bridge to make the new piers. >> reporter: but not everything will be demolished. one pier on the oakland side and one on the yeba buena island side will be used to build parks. >> places where people can go out there and have science classes teaching students about the science of the bay and the ecology of the bay.

>> reporter: caltrans designers realized it would have cost the same to build those structures than it would be to destroy the final two piers. >> having that trail is such a nice feature for the bay area. so, anything they do to add to it would be wonderful. >> reporter: those new boardwalks will be completed by next summer. sergio quintana, nbc, bay area news. >> that will be a cool thing to go out on next summer. what about this summer? what about right now? >> the one we're holding on to. >> as we say good-bye to summer, what do we have on this weekend's tap? >> it seems like we will be able to enjoy this weekend as a summer-like weekend simply because of the temperatures, kira, so we should be okay. look at this really cool shot on top of our sutro tower cam. this is san francisco's cloud cover. pretty cool shot out there. we're not seeing a marine layer but we are seeing some areas with patchy clouds. right now in san jose, 58

degrees. we're actually a little bit cool this morning as you head out the door, even in dublin, 56 degrees right now, wind speeds at a calm 5, 10 miles per hour. nice and clear sunshine through dublin and let's talk about the 24-hour temperature change. i showed you that shot on top of sutro tower and that's pretty much situated right here and that's what we're seeing, that fog. no major differences in terms of our morning temperatures as we wake up this morning with the exception of napa. napa running about 8 degrees cooler and check out the wind speeds. now, we're not really seeing breezy conditions for inland areas. in fact, wind's not a factor. but check out san francisco. nice light breeze. that is expected to stick around into the afternoon and then you pair that up with some nice cooler temperatures for now and yes, we're still expected to kind of keep a little bit of a fall-like feel out there. as far as climate highs for today, though, we're holding on to the last of the ridge of high pressure as it begins to slip away from us, we'll notice a bit of a cooldown but it's slipping

down today. morgan hill, 89, milpitas, 85, and check out these 90s for the east bay. we go from 74 degrees oakland and then if i bring it further into the interior valleys, you can see antioch, 92 degrees, concord, 92, and down through pleasanton in the 90s. along the peninsula, it's going to stay little bit breezy and the temperatures will climb into the upper 70s. redwood city, 77 degrees, palo alto 79. if you're going to be heading to san francisco, expect some upper 60s, maybe even some 70s for the mission area. now, novato, 88 degrees, santa rosa, 86. and down through mill valley, 79 degrees. now, over the next seven days, i do want to show you -- that is not labor day. ignore this. i did not delete that. we already passed your labor day, but the forecast is correct. so, 66 degrees and then if we head to inland areas, you're going to notice these 90s slipping away from us because of the ridge of high pressure. it's going to make its exit and as we head into monday and tuesday, we get a bit of a trough that takes over.

as that trough begins to take over, it's going to break apart that ridge of high pressure and it's going to lower our temperatures down into some 70s. so, 79 degrees into wednesday and thursday. that's when we start our stretch of a cooling trend in the bay area so it's going to be one of those weekends where you kind of notice it's going to get hot and then towards the end of the workweek, you're going to be like, is it fall already? we're holding on to these summer-like temperatures. hey, if you want to revisit labor day, i'm okay with that. still ahead on "today in the bay," we are celebrating a huge milestone for our "bay area proud" series. 500 stories of people doing good. you don't want to miss this. we take a look back at the stories that really touch our hearts.

welcome back. all this week in celebration of our 500th "bay area proud" story, we're checking in with some of the most memorable people we've met along the way, including a 12-year-old tech

visionary who's now a senior in high school. garvin thomas tells us what he's been up to since we featured him four years ago. >> reporter: i'm going to confess to a bit of stereotyping because i was a bit surprised when i found out what he was up to these days. now, he still has an amazingly bright future as an adult, but he says that can wait until he's done being a kid. in 2014, a 12-year-old showed us a little something he'd been tinkering with at his parents' chincharen tab kitchen table. it was a braille printer constructed entirely out of a lego robotics kit. at just a few hundred dollars for the set, it was a fraction of the cost of a traditional braille printer and soon earned him worldwide attention. >> it hit the news and then that was pretty crazy. i didn't know how that happened. >> reporter: interviews,

conferences, even a trip to the white house followed. >> yeah, that's the braille. >> reporter: and by the end of the year, he had become the youngest person ever to receive venture capital funding to bring his idea, called brego, to the mainstream. at the time, one could only imagine where you'd find this young tech visionary four years later. although, under center for the santa clara high school bruins is probably not what most were thinking. >> i'm having a lot of fun this year, and i just want to win. >> reporter: he is still deeply involved with brego, the development of a low-cost commercial printer is moving ahead very quickly. they've also developed an app that can literally tell the visually impaired with just a click of their smartphone camera what they're looking at. >> this is an image of steve jobs. >> reporter: it's a lot of work on top of a high school senior's

class load. so, why add football to the mix? well, he says while a future in tech is in his sights, it's not the future just yet. >> i can only be 16 once. i could devote every single second, every single minute of my life just to doing technology, anything but football, anything but studies, but no, i want to study, i want to practice, and i want to have fun with my friends, and i found a way in my life where everything just fits together perfectly and i couldn't ask for more. >> reporter: it shouldn't be lost in all of this that he originally got involved with brego because he wanted to develop a low-cost braille printer that would make them accessible to many people. well, that remains brego's mission and they're well on their way to developing that printer. garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. there are many more incredible stories like that. garvin, janelle wang and raj

mathai will share with you many of these touching moments that have been part of the series. be sure to watch our special, "bay area proud," 500 stories, tonight at 6:30. wow. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, an arsonist in action, the bold move the feds just took to catch this suspect who set fire to a california planned parenthood. and b.a.r.t. on hold. why commuters to the south bay will have to wait even longer. the massive mistake that will delay the opening of a new station. ♪ well well well, what have we here? a magical place... that's lookin' to get scared! with bats...and ghouls... and cars in disguise.

i've cast quite a spell now... you won't believe your eyes! (laughter) the spell is cast. halloween time is back with spook-tacular experiences in disneyland and disney california adventure parks! (laughter)

san francisco good saturday morning to you. it is 7:28. here's a live look outside on this september 8th. it's sun shining over san francisco and the bay bridge. we have a story about the bay bridge in just a few minutes. you don't want to miss that. thanks so much for joining us. i'm kira klapper. vianey arana has a look at our microclimate forecast and you say these last two days will be warm.

>> yes. >> and then a cooldown on the horizon. so something for everyone. >> yeah, something for everybody. i do want to say that cooldown that's on the way, you're going to notice it. right now, as you're waking up this morning, these 40s and 50s, get used to seeing these and even some cooler temperatures as we head into the end of the week but right now, 58 degrees in san jose, 49 for santa cruz, 47 for santa rosa, san francisco, 55, and as we head in towards the afternoon, here comes the sunshine. we will see plenty of sunshine. we're expecting mostly clear skies across the board. we do have some patchy fog along the coast right now. that should burn off nicely. by about 1:00, we'll be at 81 degrees, and san jose will be topping out into the mid 80s but that's not going to be the warmest spot. we're tracking some 90s for inland areas and the 90s will begin to slip away. i'll give you a time line of when we welcome some 60s as our daytime highs and some low 70s as our daytime highs. the fall is right around the corner. >> i like it. get out those candles. >> our favorite. >> vianey, thanks.

thousands of people today are expected to take over the streets of san francisco in a march against climate change. it's called the rise for climate, jobs, and justice california. it begins in about an hour and a half from now. "today in the bay's" anser hassan is live in justin herman plaza with more on this event. and it's just a small part of a big movement happening across the world today. . >> all right, we seem to be having some problems with his audio. we will hopefully get that story to you in a little bit. let's move on now to the delta fires going from bad to worse. 31,000 acres burned, 0% containment. those are the latest numbers out of shasta county. and this is new video overnight from the fire zone. so far, no large communities are threatened.

that's the good news. the bad news still is the biggest impact, the continued closure of i-5, making it extremely difficult for anyone to get out of northern california, a 45-mile stretch between shasta and redding is closed, closed at least until tomorrow. >> again, it's a top priority. we meet every day with caltrans, with the folks from chp to determine when it's safe based on what we believe fireside and then on the law enforcement end. >> i-5 is a major thoroughfare, of course, for truckers and tourists. as the wind has picked up overnight, crews are trying to find new methods to gain control and save homes in the path of that fire. back here locally, another problem for the problematic millennium tower in san francisco, a fix is in the works for a cracked window on the 36th floor. our investigative unit broke this story earlier this week. you may remember this is just the latest problem for the residential tower that has sunk 18 inches. city inspectors issued a

citation and ordered building owners to assess that danger, but the homeowners association's report to the city says experts can't tell if it's an isolated issue or if it's another sign of instability at the leaning skyscraper. >> it could be isolated, or it could be more systemic throughout the building. it needs further investigation. >> an attorney for the tower's homeowners association tells us the window is secured with special silicone tape inside the unit, but not outside because the building's maintenance platform is broken. an engineering firm plans to have someone are repel down from the 58-story luxury sky scraper to perform that fix. let's try now to head back to anser hassan live in san francisco with what's sure to be a massive turnout for a global climate change today and it's just a small part of an event going on across the world. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, kira.

good morning. as you mentioned, organizers are starting to gather right now. organizers promise this to be the largest march for climate change ever on the west coast. san francisco is just one of 500 events that will be taking place in 95 countries today. this march drinks togethbrings people united against climate change. one of the main messages today is that change everywhere requires everyone. this is not just about climate change but a system change. much of the focus has been on how to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. i spoke to one of the organizers who says this march is to show elected officials that they want more than just rhetoric and that local communities are ready to lead the fight. >> they are already taking action. what we can also do is join together. and sometimes it can seem, if you're working in a movement, where is everybody else? am i crying out in the wilderness? but when we come together and march, we actually show our power together. so, this is a chance to actually bring together local efforts that are happening all over the world.

>> reporter: now, this kicks off at 8:30 a.m. with an interfaith prayer service here at justin herman plaza. by 10:00 a.m., they will start to gather and organize, and then at 11:00, they march from the embarcadero to civic center. from 12:00 to 4:00, there will be a resource fair at the civic center plaza where groups will focus on showcasing their work, what they've done and what people can do to get involved. this march also comes ahead of next week's global climate action summit in san francisco. this was put together after president trump withdrew the united states from the paris climate agreement. it draws leaders from the global climate change movement from around the world. now, kira, expect a lot of downtown closures in san francisco, a heavy police presence. for those of you planning to make it out, public transportation might be your best option. again, it all kicks off around 8:30. reporting live in san francisco, anser hassan, "today in the bay." >> good for people wanting to participate and avoid it. a father of two stabbed

outside of his home. now his friends and family are calling on the community for answers. francisco died early last sunday. sheriff's deputies are still searching for his killers and announcing new clues in the case. "today in the bay's" ian cole shows us. >> reporter: a march and vigil demanding justice. a young father of two is dead. the group is offering a reward for information on the murder of frankie santos jr. walking from west san carlos in san jose to where santos lived and was attacked. he was erica's son. >> it's horrific. it's empty. you want to -- you call to hear a voicemail just to hear his voice. he doesn't answer. you can't have your long talks with him anymore. >> reporter: the friends say santos arrived home around 1:30 sunday morning when there was a confrontation with someone outside of his house and he was

sta stabbed in the chest. santos would later die at the hospital. the santa clara county sheriff's office released this picture, a full-size dark chevy or gmc investigators say is associated with the killers. >> somebody help us, please. help us catch somebody who took my baby away from me. >> reporter: santos' wife and two young kids now without a father. his mother has words for the suspect. >> i pray that nothing ever happens to you, because you're somebody's son and you have a mother and i pray that she will never feel the pain that i feel. >> reporter: ian cole, nbc bay area news. the fbi is offering a $10,000 reward for an arson at a planned parenthood in santa cruz county. we have surveillance video of someone starting the fire at the watsonville facility. this is back on july 20th. you can see it burned on the side of the building, although you can't see the arsonist's

face, investigators hope you might recognize this person based on his or her mannerisms. so many people have been waiting for the silicon valley b.a.r.t. extension. it's hit yet another snag and may not be ready until december of next year. the vta says some communication equipment at the station has to be completely replaced. the price tag, more than $1 million. it's the latest in a series of delays. our investigative unit revealed in 2016 the wrong type of pipes were installed, and that amounted to a seven-month delay that pushed the opening to june of next year. eventually, b.a.r.t. will travel even farther into silicon valley to downtown san jose and santa clara. 7:37. still ahead on "today in the bay," they're still the hottest team in baseball. we'll show you how the a's kept the good times rolling last night at the coliseum. a )s just

at the coiliseum last night... the playoffs are in sight and the a's just keep plugging along. at the coliseum last night, the

a's and the rangers, cute little drummer boy enjoying the night with his family. adorable. they were treated to a green and gold slug fest. bottom of the second, marcus simian with a two-run homer to left field, giving the a's a 3-0 lead. but the star of the game, rookie ramon hitting two home runs on the night. the a's keep rolling. they beat the rangers 8-4. now to the giants in milwaukee, we'll try and keep things positive. fifth thing, alan hansen with his 8th home run of the season but brewers win the game 4-2. the giants have lost seven of their last eight games. and in springfield, massachusetts, last night, the basketball hall of fame. among the inductees, warriors executive rick wells, instrumenting in the resurgence of the nba in the 1980s and '90s, also the first openly gay u.s. sports executive. also inducted, oakland's jason

kidd. he went to st. joe's high school in alameda and then had a sparkling career in the nba. gary peyton, another oakland product, was his presenter. very cool. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, air travelers are on heightened alert after a very unusual situation on several flights. and we're in the 50s and some 40s for santa rosa right now but temperatures will warm up and we're going welcome plenty of sunshine, but soon, it will slip away. i'llbre i'll break down all the details of what you can expect this weekend coming up.

fast, reliable internet is crucial. does it every go down? yes. can't do my job. business grinds to a halt. our gig-speed network not only downloads files up to 20 times faster, we go beyond fast with 4g backup for complete reliability. so if the unexpected happens... (snaps fingers) you stay up and running. we lost power... but not to that. i want that. (laughing) for a limited time get fast, reliable internet for a low price. call now. comcast business. beyond fast. good morning. it is 7:43, and our saturday's off to a fairly cool start. right now, in san jose, 58 degrees, so as you head out the door, the temperatures will remain in the 50s and then climb into the 60s but overall you can see the wind speeds are nice and calm throughout the rest of the bay area, 54 degrees in oakland, a little chillier in the north bay, 48 degrees for napa and

along the coastline, we are still seeing some breezy conditions. so let's take a look at some of that coastal fog. we do have some patchy fog along the coastline in through san francisco, but it's very patchy, so not everybody is seeing cloud cover. if you notice further inland, we're seeing some nice clear skies down through the south bay, in through livermore as well and no major temperature changes in terms of our morning lows, but our wind speeds right now in san francisco at about 13 miles per hour. meanwhile, the rest of the bay area dealing with some nice, calm winds. we're not expecting any major winds through tonight. not even breezy conditions. it's going stay relatively calm throughout the afternoon. now, as far as your daytime highs, we're holding on to the last of this ridge of high pressure that's been keeping us all really nice and warm, at least through this weekend. into tonight, we're going to notice a high of about 84 degrees for san jose, morgan hill also at about 89. but yet we still have some 90s on the map. so we go from about 70 degrees in hayward and we warm up all

the way into the 90s through the pittsburg and concord and walnut hill area. along the peninsula, we're going to keep the breezy conditions, 13 to 15-mile-per-hour winds. redwood city, 77 degrees. san mateo, 75, and in through the city, we're talking upper 60s, possibly even some low 70s for the mission area. wind speeds will kick up a little bit more to about 18 miles per hour into the afternoon. as far as the north bay goes, expecting a high of about 88 degrees, topping out into those upper 80s as well for novato and into the afternoon, we're going notice a nice increase in sunshine. so if you're going to be heading out to the usc versus stanford game tonight, that is at 5:00 p.m. the temperatures are going to be absolutely perfect for football. we're talking about that nice today 5:00 start at about 75 degrees and then we start to kind of dip down into some 60s, so as you leave the game, you might want to take a nice light sweater in case it starts getting chillier. we will keep the clear skies into the overnight hours, not

just for that area but also for the next seven days. san francisco, as we head into tomorrow, we're going to still notice some patchy cloud cover here and there along the coast, 66, and then as we head in towards tuesday and wednesday, you notice our temperatures drop down by about five degrees, which for san francisco is fairly noticeable but it will be even more noticeable for inland areas, 90s today, keep the upper 80s, high pressure in through tuesday, and then we get a bit of a trough, which means the system that's going to kick in some nice cooler air and it's going to bring our daytime highs only into the 70s, and that's going to give us a little preview of some fall-like temperatures around here, so go out today and into tomorrow and enjoy this last of summertime sunshine. kira? >> looks good, vianey, thanks. still ahead on "today in the bay," a touching memorial for robin williams. our digital team looks into this breathtaking wall that has many people staring. the fight by somo keep the chainsaws away! cutting down trees in the name of public safety, the fight

and you cover the funds. >> we do. >> but you can't do it without the generous donors who've made those funds possible. it's called the second chance fund. >> it allows us to provide the medical needs that these animals need to let them live out their lives the way they need to. we depend on donors, and it, again, he's going to live a perfect life, but it's a great fund, and we do need the help from our donors. >> all the generous people. he is so beautiful and sweet and without this second chance fund, you know, you just hate to think the alternative. so, thanks to you guys for giving babies like zen a second chance, and we hope someone out there will give him a forever home. thanks for coming in this
