humidity and high wind gusts that could reach 45 miles per hour. with us coming into the delta, annie sparks could spread rapidly into a wildfire so we have to be really careful. we see rain well to the north of us, not heading into the bay area because it's been pushed back to the north from high pressure, so that hi is not budging and will stay with us going into next week so we are still going to see above normal temperatures. take a look at our seven-day forecast for the inland areas, a lot of sunshine and highs well above normal. we should be in the mid to upper 70s this time of year, for san francisco, we keep cool air with a week ocean breeze. heading on the roads this morning, any issues for the command. >> we are looking at different patterns right now, this is for west 80 coming down through richmond down towards the

as for you is governor in pennsylvania would seem to matter less but pennsylvania was one of those states donald trump tried to claim he actually won. he didn't. has canada has not won the governor's office yet but is a step closer to the state capital. in north carolina, incumbent congressman hawthorne lost his primary and that almost never happens because he has had a series of very strange moments of bad press lately. the justice department has asked the committee investigating the attack on america's capital for some of the transcripts of testimony given to the committee. that could mean prosecutors are working on more criminal charges. public hearings begin june 9th. it was 50 years ago this week, the investigation looking into the cover-up of a burglary of the watergate hotel ended up with president nixon becoming

the only president in u.s. history to resign. a new interim report from a watchdog looking into the catastrophe from our withdrawal to it afghanistan, the military was not ready to defend the country, u.s. ships despite decades and billions of dollars did not train them well enough, that's a broad brush for a report goes hundreds of pages. it also criticizes decisions made by both the trump and biden administrations to dialback airstrikes. president trump signed the deal to withdraw, president biden ordered the actual withdrawal. we are watching what is happening in pennsylvania, we are on facebook, all of us, you can find me at scott mcgrew tv. if you want to live in the iconic house featured on "full

house," it is back on the market and it's going to be a lot of money to buy this house. the san francisco house is on sale right now, it is up for $37 million. you may recall two years ago, that house sold for about 5.5 million, it would be quite the flip there, even the estimate comes in at just under $7 million. the most expensive san francisco home ever sold was for 43.5 million. right after they renovated, we were inside live doing that story. >> i mean, it is beautiful. >> it is beautiful but now. is you hit the road this morning, among the drivers what the economist features in your

car, you see them a lot in the bay area. how safe are they? today, we are live at the mobility conference in san mateo. >> reporter: the most important question about self driving to knowledge he is does it work when it counts? i want to show you a demonstration right now here. you will see two cars coming up, they have different technology. they are coming up on these manikins that are simulating 2- year-old children who behave erratically. we are going to see whether or not the self stop works. that is one and it is a really jarring representation of what we don't want to see with our self driving technology. i have aaron jefferson hear from luminary technologies, what is

the difference? the technology is our lidar technology that can detect and see children or objects or small objects or whatever the case may be and getting enough data from the information, it can react. versus the camera radar systems are understanding the scene so it takes them longer to react. you have courses today that they can actually handle damage. >> standardization is one of the big topics here. i think people might be surprised to know there is such a range of technology. >> yeah, there is the aspect of the technology, but honestly, the technology is limited. there's only so much you can do with cameras and radar. now, i think this up the game in terms of capability is such that you can really implement

safety. >> here's one more demonstration, this is a dynamic one so the little mannequin is going to move and the technology then stops. i know we are going to be talking about what we want in our cars. is a lot more technical information you have, but for those at home, it's really about whether or not it works. thank you for joining us this morning. it is really interesting to see, i got to ride inside one of those cars as it was stopping and it really does stop banning save the child in front of you, and another car, didn't stop in time. we ended up plowing into that mannequin which is upsetting. you really want this to work out in the real world. >> hopefully it will prevent accidents out there. a hot one today.

>> it will be-inland areas but nice and comfortable in san francisco. we are starting out with a beautiful sunrise as we take a live look at the golden gate bridge. if you are heading through the delta, still pretty breezy. take a look at the temperature trend for today. we are starting in a comfortable 62 emma still pretty nice at 10:00 but whatever you have to do outside today, try to get it in before noon because we are already at 87 degrees at 1:00. as we move over to the south bay, cupertino headed for 86 degrees. we will see mid-80s for parts of the east bay, up to 90 in martinez and 93 in antioch. reaching into the 70s for san mateo, you can see the range in temperatures here as well as san francisco, where our weather stays nice and comfortable they are. for the valleys, it's going to be heating up this afternoon

into the 90s. as we transition tomorrow into friday, to northerly winds, we can also see slightly cooler temperatures but that also comes with a fire danger. for all of these areas shaded in orange, we could see high wind gusts up to 45 miles per hour, very low humidity in a small spark could spread very rapidly. we have to be careful as our dry weather builds and creating a pressure gradient throughout the region. it doesn't look like it's budging next week, still staying dry at above normal temperatures going at least into the next week. are seven-day and lynn temperatures will reach into the upper 80s and low 90s, morning temperatures in the mid- 50s. for san francisco, it stays comfortable, just enough of an ocean breeze to keep the city cool, mostly in the 60s over the next several days. a pretty similar build you see this time of day but lots

of sunshine, things are heating up here at the bay bridge. no surprises, the exit there with any problem. we may have a new crash at the richmond bridge toll plaza. if it's anything huge, we will let you know on twitter. over here, highway 92 has traffic restrictions as they work on the utility pole that was down since yesterday but at least highway 92 is open. 101, 87 and this new slowing pattern through sunnyvale and 101. happening now, new data on california counties most at risk from wildfires over the next three decades. napa, sonoma, and marin top that list. that is according to a nonprofit that looks at the future impacts of climate change. the data will be a made available to homeland buyers online. possible relief for parents with babies, that hope is the
