thousands flood san francisco to celebrate pride week. plus a look ahead at tomorrow's parade. thanks for joining us for a special edition of nbc bay area news. i am terry mcsweeney. and i am audrey asistio. we are tracking two fires a small brush fire in the santa cruz mountains. that is being dubbed the rock fire and a larger one that burned a home down in contra costa county. that one is the ranch fire. that one started on alamo ranch road and stone valley way in alamo. firefighters look to wrap this up tonight but first let's go to nbc bay area stephanie magallon, with an entire neighborhood that is on edge. stephanie? >> reporter: so i am told that the fire is now under control. however, at one point, fire crews did say that at least four homes did come close to catching on fire because of how

quickly this was spreading in different directions. the fire chief did say that the fire ended up starting as a structure fire over on alamo ranch road around 330 this afternoon. but as soon as they arrived on scene, the flames had extended to the vegetation in an area with really steep terrain. that is when they called for backup. and police evacuated the surrounding neighborhood. but after two hours, the fire chief says that they were able to control the structure fire as well as the vegetation fire that grew to 5 acres and actually started another three or four backfires, neighbors in the areas say that these type of situations are their biggest fear. >> i really appreciate that they haven't been here in force, early, because we are so afraid of the fire getting out of control.

>> reporter: no injuries have been reported, but because of the fire is still under investigation. as you can see, there is no fire trucks out here. however crews did say that they will remain on the hill, keeping an eye on hotspots and changing weather conditions. in alamo, stephanie magallon, back to you. in the santa cruz mountains, getting control of the rock fire, sparked around 3:00 this afternoon, the fire is 75% contained after spreading one half acres so far. because for this one is also under investigation, whether of course, playing a critical part in fighting those fires. meteorologist vianey arana is here. you had mentioned that you are always looking at the temperature and humidity as well as the winds, what is the situation out there right now? those three components that you mentioned are the biggest factors when it comes to elevated fire danger. thankfully, today, we didn't see gusting winds into the interior valley. he did get breezy at times, especially around the coast, but i think that is definitely what has helped out the

containment of these fires. also the humidity is a big factor as well. right now, the temperatures are at 78 degrees. right here with the ranch fire and noticed the humidity earlier. we were at about 20 percent, we were getting a little bit of a recovery out of 37%. looking ahead to tomorrow, that is great but they have still got the fire crews up there because they know that once the temperatures heat back up and we get that decreased humidity with the high pressure. we will see those fall below the 20% mark yet again. and then it will start to get a little breezy from the southwest at 5 to 15 miles per hour, if these conditions were gusty, we know that fire can create its own weather, especially when it is windy. so the winds are getting a bit calmer in the evening, definitely playing a role in the containment. as far as our temperatures go, into the interior, we are pretty one. when you take a look at livermore, 80 degrees, san jose, 71. meanwhile around the coastline, san francisco, 37 degrees. let's take a look at the fire

index humidity, because earlier, we fell below the 20% mark on a lot of those interior valleys, but look at the recovery right now. in fairfield, 44%. still kind of dry through livermore, and this will help us out into the overnight hours. because we have still got the high pressure that is going to keep us dry over the next couple of days. now let's take a look at those winds, if i take this timestamp forward to 11:00. notice the wind speed, it is not going to get gusty, a light breeze into the interior, 10 to 15 miles per hour will remain, but overall very calm. we will see the return of that marine layer, how will that impact your friday, san francisco pride events and all of that? i will definitely have all of that coming up in just a few minutes. >> all right, vianey thank you very much. download our nbc bay area app to get personalized weather alerts and all of the fires burning in the bay area. huge crowds in san francisco for pride weekend celebrations today, just a few hours ago. the annual march trip to the mission, organizers say that the walk represents a call to

community as they processed the news of roe v. wade being overturned. tomorrow even more people expected in san francisco when the pride parade returns. looking ahead, the pride parade is coming back. we haven't had this for years now, right? you are watching video of the celebration back in 2019. right before the pandemic upended pride events. it all starts tomorrow at 10:30 in the morning. and here is a look at the route, it starts at market and feel and it goes down to market and eight. sfpd says to expect a large police presence tomorrow. that includes a security screening to get into civic center after the parade. they are encouraging people if they don't need it, to leave it at home. you will get through security much faster. not just a weekend of celebrations, arctic large crowds gathered to protest the supreme court overturning roe v. wade. from nashville to dallas to l.a.

people took to the streets not to express anger but to call for action. today, protesters were back in much greater numbers after yesterday's decision triggered a rally outside of san francisco's federal building. demonstrators rallied, filling the streets demanding a restoration of women's rights to make their own reproductive choices. the action was organized by the group called "rise up for abortion rights". they plan to keep the pressure up for as long as it takes. it wasn't just in the city. more than 1000 people showed up in downtown san jose this morning to make their voices heard. it started with a rally at city hall and then in march to cesar chavez plaza. many protesters that we spoke to, this is a moment in history that they thought they would never see. >> nine unelected judges are making the decisions for more than 300 million people. not to say that those judges are unelected, they are not working-class folks, so do they get to make the decisions for working close people like you and me. >> there is a huge potential for those people to be retraumatized now, in states that have elected to stop protecting women's reproductive

rights. and it is just so tragic. so tragic. >> organizers say that they were actually expecting the supreme court to make this decision and have been planning this protest for weeks. two planned parenthood as filed a lawsuit in utah, to stop its new abortion ban. they were one of the states with trigger bands that activate as soon as roe v. wade was overturned. now it has been, planned parenthood request a temporary court order to delay the ban while the case plays out. the law passed back in 2020, outlaws abortion at any point in pregnancy and also criminalizes abortion providers. a lawsuit argues that the constitution gives expensive rights for family planning and it is not expected to be the only lawsuit of its kind. now let me show you how access to abortion clinics will be changing in the coming weeks. this map comes from the new york times. this is what access looked like before roe v. wade was

overturned. you can see black dots across the 900 dates. that is where clinics are. the darker the purple, the middle of the country, the farther away you would have to travel to reach a clinic. the lighter shades of purple are less than 100 miles, here and here. the darker shades, that means someone would have to travel over 400 miles. here is what the access map looks like now. clinics closed within nine states, including texas, alabama, oklahoma, louisiana, and misery. you can see the deep purple there. and the purple appear as well. here is what access could look like in the future. five more states have laws that will kick in in the coming weeks. a ban is likely to happen another nine more states. you can see the deep purple growing. this part of the country. up here as well over by the great lakes. texas, louisiana, arkansas. the midwest, all experiencing the same thing. still ahead -- a power outage, police are giving more details of a high- speed chase in the east bay. we will have the latest after

the break. the next covid shot could be a bit different. the way pfizer is tweaking its faxing to keep up with the omicron variant. with the sun setting, we are cooling off a little bit in san jose.

a high-speed pursuit turned deadly in the east bay this morning. it happened right here. you can see it on moraga way, on the border. you can see police started, officers tried to pull them over but the driver tried to get away. he took off at high speed, officers say that they went after the driver, but actually discontinued be pursued once they determined that the speed was too dangerous. shortly after officers heard a car crash down the road and they did find two people inside. one of them was dead. the other with major injuries. >> the vehicle, had been reported stolen to the richmond police department, prior to today.

but that will also be part of the investigation. >> the crash also impacted pg&e equipment and knocked out power to more than 2000 customers. most of them have the power back on but hundreds are still without. masks are no longer required, alameda county dropping its mask mandate, starting at midnight, last midnight. health leaders brought back the mandate a few weeks ago after case number's reach concerning bibles. those numbers are now on the way down. health leaders encouraging everyone to mask up on the indoor setting and to get vaccinated and boosted. moving you forward when it comes to covid. pfizer says that is tweaking its faxing to better target the omicron variant. pfizer says that it's current vaccine offers strong protection against severe disease and death especially if you get the booster. those vaccines were formulated to target the original strain of covid, will be for the super contagious omicron variant showed up. pfizer's announcement comes days before regulators debate

whether to offer americans updated booster shots in the fall. president joe biden signed the most sweeping gun legislation and more than three decades. the president signed it right before heading to europe get the first lady jill biden at his side. the bipartisan safe communities act sped through congress. the senate passed on thursday and went through the house yesterday. the president says that congress finally came together to do something. >> the columbine, sandy hook to charleston, orlando, las vegas, el paso, atlanta, buffalo, and for the shootings that happen every day in the streets and we don't even hear about it. the number of people killed every day in the streets. their message to us was do something and how many times have you heard that, just do something. four do well, today we did. >> the new law provides incentives for states to pass red flag laws and it expands background checks to include juvenile records and expanded

background checks for people aged 18 to 21 and also closes the boyfriend loophole by keeping guns away from unmarried dating partners convicted of abuse. >> if you missed this last night, there is still time. you have another chance to see this. it is 49 feet wide, and more than four miles long. it is a laser rainbow flag and it is shining down market street and san francisco for pride. behind the bay lights project, creating this high tech pride flag. he calls the installation welcome. he says it is a beacon of inclusivity that will shine again tonight and tomorrow. starting at 930. so over a little hour from now. and it glows until midnight. >> so if you want to check that out tonight, you will need a jacket. the timing of that, this is a live camera right now in san francisco. guess what is out? that marine layer, but i have faith that it will still go

through. it will be a beautiful night. i love that and i think it's really cool that we have that marine layer, so it might make it tough in a few spots but it may help with the reflection. now we will be seeing those temperatures cool off and it will be breezy and windy. so a chilly night around the coast. meanwhile in the interior, look at san jose, overall clear skies but a little bit of hayes and that is likely because of all of the fires that we have seen this week. so if you can smell any smoke at any time or near an active fire, just make sure to close your windows and be careful with that air quality. as far as that satellite radar goes, we have some storms but these are really off to the east, not really impacting us at least not for the next couple of days. and if you notice, there goes that marine layer, we will wake up to that once again tomorrow. but even though we are finally getting a break from the heat right now. some spots believe it or not are still in the 80s, look at

livermore, 80 degrees, san jose 71. coming off around san mateo, and the 24 hour temperature change, about 4 degrees, not a big difference compared to yesterday. but let's talk about that fire danger index because this is really important anytime that we are talking about heat and high pressure drying us out and sure enough we get a little bit of a recovery into the overnight hours, look at that. by nine or 10:00, we bump up to 60 or 70% for much of the area. thankfully it won't be as gusty tonight it will be breezy at times into the interior, that will be helpful to the overnight hours. as far as your temperatures go. we will dip down into the 50s and 60s tonight, but if you are going to be out and about tomorrow, any sort of outdoor activities, do them early because we will heat up really fast, by about 11:30. look at this. already had about 80 degrees in the south bay, 84 in livermore. during the 90s in tracy, san francisco, upper 60s. and look at this, by about 2:30

, 3:00 we could see some triple digits on the map. i can't stress this enough, do not walk your puppy, do not in the peak of the heat, it will be too hot, take some time and take them out nice and early or in the evening hours when it cools off because these temperatures are definitely going to be extremely hot into the interior. 59 degrees in separate cisco. my rescue puppy prefers a nice morning walk pressure. the hot inland temperatures, we keep that high pressure around over the next 2 to 3 days which means that we are going to see the 90s and the dry conditions continue and if you're wondering about the san francisco pride parade tomorrow it starts at 10:30, but you saw the live camera. we have that again, i expect a little bit of a breeze, temperatures will be in the 60s, so depending on your preference. it might feel a little chilly or it might be just right in the upper 60s at times, that is what we are going to type out we will dip out into the 60s and here is a look at your

seven-day forecast, so we do stay pretty warm overall for san francisco in the 70s by tuesday. and then those inland temperatures remain in the 90s through monday and tuesday. finally by wednesday and thursday, we started to cool off just a little bit as that high pressure backs off a little bit and by next friday and saturday, so looking out ahead, next weekend, we will see temperatures in the 70s as our daytime highs. so we will go from 90s to 70s. >> all right, vianey . thanks a lot. a popular beaches back open after

before i get to that part, i do want to talk one more time about your san francisco pride parade because i know a lot of folks will be heading out. the parade is about 10:30, folks will get there early. yes it will be breezy and yes the temperatures will be in the 60s. so, keep that in mind at it will be comfortable, though. upper 60s through the afternoon, by the time it it's 4:00 it will be in the 60s. so a mix of sun and clouds with the marine layer. present tomorrow. tomorrow we see the height of the heat, especially through the inland areas. 93 degrees on tuesday. and by wednesday and thursday. that is when we start to dip down into the 80s. and then finally, the 70s entered next weekend. i hope everyone has a lovely night. i will se nd
