it is - - - - - here is a live look outside -- san francisco good sunday morning. it is 7:00. here is a live look outside in san francisco. actually quite lovely out there. pink skies and not as much clouds and fog as we typically see in the morning. thanks so much for joining us. we have a look at our microclimate forecast. >> you saw there not as much fog so we're not seeing that dense fog, not seeing that ma reap layer. i don't think anybody misses it necessarily. >> no. >> we have the fog and 24-hour temperatures, we have some small areas of patchy fog through half moon bay even in through hayward area. if you're driving through the areas don't be surprised you'll catch low clouds. right now in san francisco the temperatures are at about 55

degrees and a little cool, believe it or not this ridge of high pressure that's been keeping us very warm and topped us into the 90s for some inland areas yesterday is kind of breaking apart and we're going to start seeing a change in the weather. 55 degrees in san jose as well. your temperature change into the afternoon is going to be slightly cooler in some spots. dublin at 51. yesterday a lot more 90s on our forecasted highs. today we have a lot more 80s on the map and eventually we'll see 70s as our daytime highs. i'll tell you when that's set to happen in 15 minutes. >> thanks. if you can believe it, another fire erupted overnight, this one in napa county, nearly 200 homes are now evacuated. the nearly 2,000-acre brush fire is burning near snell valley road about seven miles south ooegs of middletown. this is the third fire to hit that area in recent months.

the fire burned within several homes of the bariessa estates community. some chose to the with aer down their homes and yards before evacuating. there's only one road in and out of the commute so fire commanders ordered they be evacuated as quickly as possible. they didn't want any residents to be trapped if the fire burned across the road. >> we've seen time and time again people wait until the last minute. we don't want to see incidents like this, small windy canyon areas with homes that are difficult to get to. >> no homes have been destroyed so far. the fire is only about 10% contained this morning. as that fire spreads so quickly, firefighters had a new tool in their arsenal, a wildfire camera network, look at the time lapse video of the fire raging last night. cal fire says crews can use images to develop their plan of attack. the cameras are part of a network developed at the university of nevada reno.

now to shasta county where the delta fire continues to rage, still with no containment, it doubled in size in the past 36 hours alone. fire crews are scrambling to prevent the fire from reaching mountain communities. so far the delta fire ripped through 63 square miles. the biggest impact is the closure of interstate 5, a 45-mile stretch between mt. shasta and reading will be closed until further notice. a massive turnout against climate change in san francisco. 30,000 protesters demanded city leaders do more to protect the environment and in invest in more renewable argue. demonstrators chanted, waved signs and sang, one of many demonstrations across the world. >> it's global news. everything is coming apart at the seams, the storms, the oceans, full of garbage patches.

we have to wake up some time. >> participants were encouraged to paint murals on city streets with nontoxic paint, of course. yesterday's action comes days before world leaders environmental researchers and activists come to san francisco for the global action summit organized by the u.n. and governor jerry brown. we are following developing news off the coast of south carolina, tropical storm florence is expected to reach hurricane strength within the next few hours. look at the satellite view of the the storm. the governor of south carolina declared a state of emergency warning people across the state not just on the coast to be ready to evacuate. generators are flying off the shelves at home improvement stores. florence is forecast to hit the southeast coast by late next week. a day after former president obama gave a speech giving a strong rebuke of president trump and calling these dangerous times the former president is now on the campaign trail.

he's stumping for california democrats and hoping to flip control in the house. during his stop in southern california yesterday the former president didn't mention the current president by name but his target was clear. >> the good news is, in two months, we have a chance to restore some sanity in our politics. we have the chance to flip the house of representatives and make sure the real checks and balances. >> some democrats have complained that the former president hasn't done enough to help get candidates elected. it appears the former. is the making up for lost time. he's due to makes stops in pennsylvania, ohio and illinois in the coming weeks. come up on "meet the press" chuck todd will talk to the counselor to president donald trump, kellyanne conway. hear her take on the "new york times" onone news op-ed, "meet the press" airs at 8:00 a.m.

after this newscast. coming up on a story our investigative unit broke earlier this week a cracked window high up on the millennium tower. yesterday a drone helped inspect the broken window 36 stories up. things didn't go quite as planned. the drone ended up crashing, sent up to take pictures of the window from outside. the pictures would be sent to determine what the cause of the crack was. the 58-story skyscraper was sinking and tilting resulting in several lawsuits. the attorney working with the tenants admits right now there is not a lot of evidence to suggest the cracking was caused by the tilting nor the sinking. >> if it was related to the tilting or sinking you'd see a pattern of other cracks perhaps in that same line of where this window is and i don't know if

this is the first window to crack and first in line to do that or whether this could be just the first the tip of the iceberg in terms of being able to find a more systemic problem. >> this week a worker will rappel down the side of the building to do another evaluation of the windows. luckily the four people who lived inside this home got out safely. an overnight fire destroyed this south bay home on the 100 block of charles street in sunnyvale. people who lived in another home on that same property described the chaotic moments after they realized the home was on fire. >> when he told me this, it was like get up right now and run and i'm thinking to grab things but the speed of the fire, i just forget all this stuff, let's go. >> the cause of that fire is still under investigation. at 7:07, we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, she's one of the most

powerful leaders in tech. marissa meyer wants to help other women succeed by creating a private club. why her new plan is upsetting neighbors and not just because it would be built in a former funeral home. >> it's more important than landing another mission onto the moon. >> and we'll tell you about the first of its kind mission to clean plastic out of the pacific ocean and it started right here in the bay area this weekend. ta

marathon and 10k, good luck to everyone. governor jerry brown has signed two bills effectively blocking new drilling off the california coast. president trump announced plans to expand drilling off most of the country's coastline. california can't directly block drilling in waters controlled by the federal government but the new laws protint new pipeline within three miles of the california coast. the pipelines are considered the most economical way of transporting oil from offshore rigs. it's a potential game changer, historic effort to clean up the pacific garbage patch. it has the potential to dramatically improve an environmental nightmare. >> between the span. >> i see it. oh my god. >> reporter: ocean cleanup system 001 on its maiden voyage, headed to an area of the pacific

ocean half way between california and hawaii known as the great pacific garbage patch. 250 million pounds of plastic over an area twice the size of texas. >> for 60 years, man has been putting plastic into the ocean and from that day onward we're taking it back out again. >> reporter: the bay area non-profit ocean cleanup spent five years studying the patch, creating and testing the technology and building the cleanup system. it consists of massive sections of hollow tubing that floats in the water and traps the plastic. ships come every few months and scoop it up. >> wow, that's incredible. >> reporter: spectators came to ft. baker to catch a glimpse of the launch. >> i think it's pretty cool and hopefully together with collective efforts we can make a difference. >> to me, this is more important than landing another mission on to the moon. it's more important to take care of the planet that we have right now. >> reporter: it will take five years and a fleet of systems to clean up just half of the garbage patch but this is at

least a first step. so what happens to all of that trash once they collect it in. >> recycle into product and with those products we want to help allow people to help fund the cleanup. >> reporter: "nbc bay area news." it has connected the bay area for decades but the old eastern span of the bay bridge is gone forever. yesterday cal transimploded the last chunk yesterday afternoon. the old eastern span was nearly two miles long. it's been demolished in the reverse order of how it was built. it opened in 1936. can you believe it? let's check in with a look at our sunday forecast. yesterday was gorgeous out there. this morning note a lot of fog across the bay bridge. >> we've been waking up to some

50s so it's been cool. we haven't seen a lot of 60s on the map but our daytime highs have been dominated by a ridge of high pressure that's been keeping us nice and cozy. that's about to change. san jose right now at 55 degrees. temperatures similar across the south bay. livermore 51 degrees. oakland 53 and san francisco at 54. the temperatures our daytime highs set to cool off a tad bit today but not expecting a major drop in temperatures yet. we have the ridge dominate over california. your 24-hour temperature change we have a couple of areas here and there of low cloud cover through half moon bay and in through hayward but the rest as far as livermore goes is five degrees cooler at this hour. the air quality as you head outside this morning, north bay, bay and coast, inland east bay we have active wildfires burning. therefore the conditions remain moderate through the inland east bay. as far as the south bay in santa

clara valley we're good to go there but dealing with smoke off to the north. if you are dealing with respiratory issues limit outdoor activity. as far as your daytime highs for today this ridge of high pressure will start getting inched out falling apart as the trough begins to take over. the trough will lower temperatures. let's talk about a slight cooling expected for today. 80 degrees for san jose, milpitas 79 and oakland 72. further inland not a major difference in temperatures yet. today we expect a possible 09 near antioch, upper 80s but concord and san mateo 70 degrees. san francisco we'll jump up into the upper 60s. through the north bay we're talking upper 80s for santa rosa at about 86 degrees. down through novato at 8 4. as that ridge of high pressure weakens this is going to bring nice cooling ahead and some rain

chances off to the north because of that trough. we're not expected to see any rain from the system, expected to stay over portland and seattle. over the next seven to ten days it will weaken that ridge of high pressure and drop temperatures down into the 70s. what does that mean? as you know san francisco not expecting major differences but it could lower us into the lower 60s but the inland temperatures will be more noticeable. we'll see that trough taking over into tuesday where we'll go from 80s down into the 70s and our daytime high also top out into those upper 70s and that will set us up for a cooler trend about ten degrees cooler as we head in towards the end of this work week stepping into of course more fall-like temperatures. we're holding on to some 80s and 90s through today. kira? >> thanks. it is 7:20. still ahead on "today in the bay" -- >> you can talk to dogs in your

brain. >> our story of that 6-year-old dog whisperer went viral after she rescued a stray adults couldn't catch. even offered a reality show. where is she now? the answer as we mark the 500th story in our bay area proud series.

"today in the bay's" garvin thomas updates the the story of the 6-year-old dog whisperer we first introduced you to two years ago. >> reporter: meghan top something now 7 years old and every bit as precocious as ever. the story of how she succeeded

in rescuing a dog hit a chord. it has been watched and shared online more than 1 million times. that's got to change a person, right? not necessarily. it was in december of 2016 karen topping and her daughter magle drove from their morgan hill home to hollister, a dog, daisy, they had fostered for a couple of weeks had run away from its new home and in spite of the best efforts of an experienced team of animal rescuers, daisy remained on the loose for two whole months. until, that is, meghan went to have a talk with her. >> she told me, because you can talk to dogs in your brain, and she told me if mom stayed in the truck she'd come to me and i believed it. >> reporter: which is exactly what happened. now karen already knew her

daughter had an uncanny knack with animals they had worked with and trained hundreds of rescued and ferile ones at home. what karen could not have guessed that day -- >> good girl. >> reporter: -- is how many millions of people -- >> i am so proud of my kid. >> reporter: -- would end up watching the video she took. her first clue coming the evening our bay area proud story aired and two women came up to them at the local pet store. >> is this the little girl who was on tv tonight? so everybody started calling me, is that meghan? yes, that's meghan. yeah, you got your meghan. >> reporter: it wasn't just friends. "ellen" show called and meghan was offered her own cable reality show. >> it was such a fun, fun roller coaster with that whole thing. >> reporter: so where will you find meghan today? >> this is a chance to shine, girl. >> reporter: well, right where she's always been, working with animals, no reality show cameras

around. >> i'm with the horses and dogs all day, every day. >> reporter: turns out the deal wasn't right for meghan. >> when it became invasive in our private life and it would have sacrificed who she was in her life, i said no. >> if you talk cluck to her, shl move. >> reporter: not to say you won't see her on tv or in front of crowds. her family knows there is something special about this little girl and one day it may help them reach more people and help more animals. but only when it's right for her. until then, well, she'll just keep talking to her animals. >> a little buttermilk. >> reporter: so that is what meghan is up to. what it daisy? not long after the story aired daisy was adopted to a forever home and the two still see each other regularly. garvin thomas, "nbc bay area news." >> here is to 500 more bay area

the marine layer is creeping by. santa rosa temperatures in the 40s at the coolest in napa at about 40 autodegrees. the south bay warms up a bit. 55 degrees for san jose, and up along the peninsula mountain view 52. in the city 54 and temperatures on the side of warm, mostly clear conditions but today we're actually going to start to see a little bit of a change in terms of our daytime highs. no major cooldown just yet but just a couple of degrees cooler into the afternoon. as far as the temperature trend in san jose 79 degrees by 1:00. notice in the icons another day of sunshine, i saw a ton of people at the pool yesterday and expecting more of that today. i'll break down the situation going into monday coming up in 15 minutes. >> we clearly need to talk about this off camera, you have a pool, let's talk. the fast-moving flames. another fire ignited in napa county. this morning 200 homes are

evacuated. the nearly 2,000 acre brush fire is brurning near snell -- burning near snell valley road. it consumed thousands of acres in a few hours. it's burned within yards of several homes in the barriesa estates community. some chose to stay for as long as possible watering down their homes and yards before evacuating. there's only one road in and out of the community so fire commanders ordered the estates be evacuated as quickly as possible. they didn't want residents trapped if the fire burned across the road >> we've seen time and time again people wait until the last minute and that's what we don't want to see happen especially small, windy canyon areas with really homes that are difficult to get to. >> the fire is only 10% contained. as the fire took off, fire crews had a new cool in their arsenal,

a wildfire camera network. look at this time lapsed video of the fire burning last night. crews can use these images from cameras to help develop their plan of attack. the cameras are part of a network developed at the university of nevada reno. and in shasta county the delta fire continues to rage. it has doubled in size in the past 36 hours. crews are scrambling to prevent the fire from reaching mountain communities now. so far the fire has ripped through at least 63 square miles, larger than the city of san francisco and there is no containment. the biggest impact is the continued closure of i-5, a 45-mile stretch between mt. shasta and reading. it will be closed until further notice. here in the bay area, tens of thousands of people hit the streets of fran in a show of force against climate change. "today in the bay's" christie smith was at the civic center where people not only filled the streets, they painted them, too.

>> reporter: they carried signs and a unified message. thousands headed down market street in san francisco for the rise for climate, jobs and justice march. >> it's global news. everything's coming apart at the seams, the storms, the ocean is full of garbage patches. we have to wake up sometime. >> reporter: a diverse coalition that included environmental and community groups pushing for an end to fossil fuel production and an emphasis on renewable energy. >> this march is about solutions that are coming from the front lines of people facing the worst impacts of climate change. >> reporter: the march was just one of many taking place in cities in the u.s. and abroad. the march comes days before the governor's global action climate summit in san francisco. >> there's hundreds of organizations who are part of this effort pushing jerry brown. >> reporter: the governor released a statement and tweeted a message to the trump administration saying in part not here, not now. we will not let the federal

government pillage public lands and destroy our treasured coast. some said they saw the governor's signing bills to block the administration's plans for offshore drilling as largely symbolic. >> doesn't actually help the impact to the community dealing with neighborhood drilling. >> reporter: one concerns expressed how low income communities are impacted. >> we have front line communities in this state that are suffering from polluted water, polluted air. it is not enough. this crisis is upon us. >> reporter: christie smith, "nbc bay area news." a day after giving a speech slamming president trump, former president barack obama is now on the campaign trail. he's stumping for california democrats and hoping to flip control in the house. during a stop in southern california yesterday, obama didn't mention the current president by name, but it was his target. >> the good news is, in two months, we have a chance to restore some sanity in our politics.

we have the chance to flip the house of representatives and make sure the real checks and balances of washington. >> some democrats have complained the former president hasn't done enough to help get candidates elected. but he does appear obama is making up for lost time. he campaigned in illinois and now he's due to make campaign stops in ohio, pennsylvania and illinois again in the coming weeks. coming up on "meet the press" chuck today will speak with a counselor to the president kellyanne conway. hear her take on the controversial "new york times" op-ed. two indictments, two inaccurate claims and one tweet. our partners at factcheck.org say president trump discourted facts about the investigations involving two of his allies in congress. aaron coleman h-- erin coleman

story. >> reporter: the tweet by president tweet criticizes jeff sessions for the timing of the indictments of two republican congressmen, chris collins and duncan hunter. >> two of his biggest supporters, two members of congress the first and second congressmen to support his candidacy for president back in february 2016. >> reporter: in the tweet, the president describes both cases as long running owe babama era investigations. factcheck.org says it's misleading in the hunter case and wrong in the collins case. the collins is accused of helping his son make illegal stock trades in a biotech company. >> that case the indictment dealt with elicit stock transactions that occurred in late june of 2017, when trump was already president. >> reporter: turning to hunter,

the california republican and his wife were akulszed of spending campaign funds on personal expenses and filing false campaign finance reports to cover it up. factcheg.org says it's true the federal investigation started during the owe pa ma administration in june 2016. >> so the investigation last the only eight months after obama and 19 months under trump so to call it a long running obama era investigation is inaccurate or misleading, because it actually lasted longer under trump and in both cases the indictments were brought by u.s. attorneys that were appointed by trump's attorney general jeff sessions. >> reporter: i'm erin coleman for nbc news. today a celebration for the life and legacy of the late congressman and oakland mayor don delums, who spent 27 years

single story home was fully engulfed in flames. people who lived in another home on the property described the chaotic moment after they realized flames erupted. >> when he told me this it was like get up right now and run. by the speed of the fire, i just booked it, forget all this stuff, let's just go. >> four people are displaced because of the fire. the cause is under investigation. serious allegations against a former cal berkeley basketball player jabari bird, who now plays for the boston celtics, is facing charges of assault, battery, advantage lastrangulat kidnapping. police aren't releasing many details other than the victim and bird were taken to separate hospitals. the victim was treated for injuries and bird underwent an evaluation under police guard. the celtics said the team is aware of the incident and taking it very seriously.

it was a u.s. open women's final to remember, a 20-year-old defies the odds to make history but the biggest story line this morning is serena williams spat with an umpire. williams looking to get her 24th grand slam title taking on 20-year-old naomi osaka, who was trying to get her first title against her idol. early in the second set, the umpire warned williams for receiving coaching which is not allowed. williams vehemently denied that accusation saying the umpire owed her apology and called him a thief. the umpire penalized her an entire game for the comments. osaka went on to win becoming the first player from japan to win a major single's title. after the dust settled from the storm, serena spoke about the ordeal. >> i'm here fighting for women's rights and women's equality and for all kinds of stuff, and for me to say, thief, and for him to take a game made me feel like it

was a sexist remark. >> many people are calling this call a double standard this morning. after it was all over, serena hugged and congratulated osaka, both wiping away tears. many say the 20-year-old got robbed as the controversy overshadowed her historic victory. 7:41 right now. still ahead on "today in the bay" a new bill that would change the way utility caused fires are paid sits on governor brown's desk. we'll be joined in a few minutes to explain why not everyone is on board with the new plan. >> the giants looking to stop a recent losing streak, terrance burke has spoke to giants and the a's. highlights next. to keep you both comfortable. it's the final days where all beds are on sale. the queen sleep number 360 c2 smart bed is now only $899. ends sunday.

lawmakers have struggled over managing wildfire costs that are the fault of pg&e and calif for months california lawmakers struggled over managing wildfire costs that are the fault of pg&e and other california utilities. there haven't been any utility-caused fires so far in 2018 but last year pg&e was declared at fault for 11 of 16 northern california fires. in san diego the utility was charged $379 for wildfire negligence. the state legislature has come up with a new way to plan for utility caused fires and not everyone is happy about it. we talked about it on air before. pg&e would pay for it and part of the money would end up back on the shoulders of the pg&e rate payers.

l larry goerston is here. why this proposed change in the policy? >> that is a fair question considering all these years we are holding the utilities responsible for what the utilities caused. very good question. the fact of the matter is, more than 1.1 million acres and probably after this week probably more like 1.2 million acres of land have been destroyed by wildfires, this year and this year alone and meteorologists view the fire season in california as not just a season, but year-round thanks to climate change. so looking ahead, the utilities are worried about future fires and the burdens they would bear if they are utility caused which gets to your question, the utilities contend if they bear too much of the cost for future fires that utilities would go bankrupt. >> so this is where the legislature comes in? >> this is where the legislature comes in, yes, for months,

quietly the legislators the utilities, the insurance companies, local governments, everybody but the roto rooter man, public utilities groups have tried to find consensus over how to manage future fire cost caused by the utilities. finally just before adjournment for the rest of the year the legislature passed senate bill 901 authored by napa's bill. this bill has many provisions including a billion-dollar fund over the next five years to improve forest management and a new system to remove trees and overgrown forests. the most controversial part of the bill would enable the utilities to pass on some of the costs to rate payers even if the utilities are declared responsible and given the wildfire forecast, we're talking about the potential of shifting billions of dollars in new bills

to you and me. >> obviously not everyone's going to agree on this but do you think this is the best solution for the rate payer? >> that just depends on who you ask. proponents and opponents of the shared responsible idea say it's the only way to keep the utilities from going broke and supporters argue there are other areas where the state routinely subsidizes various industries such as the hundreds of millions of dollars of money that goes for entertainment companies with tax breaks, if they produce movies and television shows or for that matter tax breaks for california companies doing manufacturing or research here. that's one way to look at it, but opponents say another thing. they argue these kinds of benefits are extended by the state government to specific industries whereas the changes in the senate bill 901 would penalize rate payers directly for mismanagement by the utilities, leaving both the

ustalts and the state governments off the hook. further, they argue what right does the state have to keep any company from going bankrupt anyway? they wouldn't help us if we went bankrupt. >> where do we go from here? i'm biting my tongue. >> governor brown has 30 days to sign this bill, senate bill 901 and so far he's shop everything indication he'll do just that, assuming that happens, the best thing we can do is hope for fewer fires in the years to come, but let me tell you, there may be fewer fires but there are going to be higher bills for you and me. >> indeed. all right, as always, thanks to you for being a part of our morning. we'll be back after this. keep t! plus- what wildfire victims can do to make their voices heard and possibly lead to better laws statewide. monday morning- from 4:30 to 7.
