we're seeing these ranges across the bay area and dublin, reaching 86 degrees. 96 in concord. latinas, reaching 90. oakland will see a high of 73. 80 in napa. san francisco, in the mid 60s. if you will be traveling across the bay area, be prepared for temperatures in the 60s or temperatures in the 90s, depending on where you're going. that pattern continues for the next couple of days, thanks to the fog lingering near the coast and the ocean breeze that makes it just far enough inland for some of our valleys to have more mild weather. but we're not seeing that across the country with any relief, because it's still going to be high with this strong area of high usher. another day with triple-digit temperatures across texas and oklahoma. even all the way up to boise today, reaching 101 degrees. extreme heat, but feeling some milder weather here with san jose. that's into the 80s. our 10-day trend has some

changes, but nothing really significant here. mostly 80s in the forecast, while some of our valleys will be hot. we will have spots in between, though, like the south bay, getting just enough of the breeze picking up for the temperatures to really spike. it's coming in from san francisco. the coastline has highs continuing to reach into the 60s. mike, you are seeing some slowing in the tri valley. , carrie. not an unusual location, but the direction is unusual, eastbound. last couple of minutes, it has gone from green, orange, red, now back to orange. that's improved speeds off the dublin interchange heading down to another crash with a motorcycle crash eastbound. i don't think there are any major injuries reported there. the westbound commute, coming that direction, we see the slowing from the pass of 580. for those who saw the smoke and

fire yesterday, still some smoldering there atop the freeway. the freeway itself, reopened a short time after the closure yesterday. again, still you'll see some smoke.that's what we're watching there in that part of the bay. highway 84, coming to a close. livermore, no surprises with a slower amount of congestion there. slowing here from richmond towards university from golden gate field. the offramp, reportedly closed from an earlier crash. a tanker truck of some sort there. no risk to the public.just an inconvenience. still, no backup. >> that looks great thank you, mike. >> thanks a lot. thanks, mike. 6:20 right now. coming up next on velasquez two," nbc bay area news sponse. >>re

returned to the bruce family. ahead this morning on the "today," smith sits down with an exclusive interview with derek bruce. this is the great-grandson of willa and charles to discuss the property. >> what i would like to say is that we are a family that was dispossessed, and if anyone knows, i think anyone knows how hard it is to become dispossessed, that, in itself, is a grave puncture. it's a grave wounding. >> as you can imagine, the prime real estate is now worth millions. you can watch that full interview coming up at 7:00 on "the today show." it bends towards justice, as the arc of the universe is long. >> finally. long-overdue. 6:25 right now. school supplies in the bay area

good morning, if you're heading out for a morning run in some of those spots heating up, yes it's best to do it early before it gets too hot. take a look atmore began hill. 58 degrees in the morning and then you can see the trend heading for the mid 70s at 10:00 and then upper 80s for 1:00 today. not everyone is experiencing this heat because in san francisco it's been very chilly and we only reached about 64 degrees there today. fremont reaching 77 and 95 in fairfield. so we'll talk about this spread in temperatures and if that changes, coming up. now you're seeing more of a crowd at the bay bridge the reason it was so clear before is because of that crash on the east shore freeway. here's the bill. the metering lights have been on

just a shade before 6:00. this isn't too bad. the off ramp and crash everything tying things up in a big distraction. they reopened everything on the freeway and off ramp but slow now out of richmond and golden gate field. meanwhile contra costa county highway 37 to the north bay, your usual pattern there. everything else looking mild as well. the issue eastbound 580 off the dublin interchange has completely cleared and no surprises. over to you. mike, thank you. new overnight about a dozen people detained as part of a kidnapping investigation in downtown la. three men were held against their will at a warehouse. officers got the call around 8:00 last night with one of the victims who managed to escape. the three friends walked into the warehouse together apparently housed in an underground marijuana dispensary. for whatever reason the men were not allowed to leave and the one who did called 911 to report his

friends were tied up. nobody seriously hurt. in just a few hours san francisco will once again make it easier to get the monkeypox vaccine. this comes as cases across the bay area keep rising. >> today bob joins us from san jose and santa clara is expanding eligibility as well. >> good morning, yes because prior to yesterday the santa clara health department could only provide vaccines for people who were confirmed cases of monkeypox because of limited supply. but they have now since received new doses. the health department says they received 900 new doses as of yesterday so now they can offer the shots to anyone who is considered high risk, especially someone a member of the gay community. these shots are available by appointment only. no plans for a walk up clinic. santa clara has 23 confirmed cases of monkeypox. in a few hours san francisco general will reopen its drop in monkeypox clinic from 8:00 a.m.

this morning until noon. last week there were long lines and even though the clinic is drop in, appointments strongly recommended because of the limited supply of vaccines in the city as well. mayor london breed says she sent a letter to federal health officials asking for more shots. >> san francisco with our large lgbtq community disportion natalie a larger community than most major cities in the country and the proportion of the number of vaccines that we should receive should be relevant to that. so my letter is making it clear we want support and the federal government controls that and woer being aggressive about trying to get argue fair share at least to support the people of san francisco. >> san francisco has received about 4,000 doses despite asking for more than 30,000. right now san francisco offers the vaccine to high risk people in the lgbtq community, to sex

workers or someone who had a possible or confirmed exposure. san francisco has 441 reported cases. berkley just reported six new cases. nationwide, just over 2100 cases. that's accord to go the cdc. more than half of the cases are in california, illinois, and new york state according to the states public health department california has 356 probable or confirmed cases. illinois at 200. new york at 679. monkeypox by the way is a rare disease, similar to smallpox but less trans misable and less severe. thanks bob. moving you forward this morning, the cdc approving another two dose covid-19 vaccine but this one is different. the board signed off on the novavax vaccine available for people 18 years or older. this vaccine does not use mrna

technology like pfizer and moderna vaccines. if it uses technology similar to more traditional vaccines like the flu and chickenpox. cdc hopes this will appeal more to unvaccinated people who are weary of the mrna vaccine. to a follow up, cal trans was set to clear out a homeless camp in oakland today. under this bridge a judge is blocking that effort. 200 homeless people live at this wood street encampment where fires have burned repeatedly near the mcarthur maze. this tremendous fire last week prompted cal trans to sweep the area. a restraining order delayed the sweep. the case will be back in court on friday. foster city leaders say geese in the city are a health hah vard and public nuisance. their solution to get rid of them is causing a heated debate. the city moving forward with its

plan to acquire permits that allow it to kill up to 100 of those canadian geese roaming the city and some agree the city needs a fast solution. the plan is getting push back. >> if there was another way to do it, i mean that would be great but it doesn't seem like the other solutions have not been working so far. >> 15,000 people send in letters to the foster city council and encourage them to try this so this is what they're doing is going against public opinion. . >> the city says the goose population has doubled in the past two years. they are still trying other options as well. turning now to our climate crisis, parts of europe sweltering under extreme heat with record-breaking temperatures in the region of the world that has already been grappling with wildfires and severe drought. much like what we're seeing in

california but this week the united kingdom reached a new record of 104.5 degrees fahrenheit obliterating the previous high of 101.6 set three years ago. this is triggering big problems, big fires and a huge increase happening in the london area. several homes engulfed by flames. megan fitzpatrick explains this record heat was not predicted to arrive this early. >> reporter: just two years ago the state weather agency here in the uk put out a prediction forecast where they said in 2050 temperatures would hit 40 degrees celsius which is 104 degrees and that prediction earerly came true less than three decades later. >> experts are now warning that the heat waves are going to become more frequent longer lasting and they're going to be a lot hotter. very concerning. keri hall is tracking this

really troublesome trend. a closer look this morning. >> we take a look at our temperature trend in our previous climate we had and even just the slight shift in our average temperatures causes more extremes especially on the side of heat. and we take a look at more intense heat waves that mostly happen during late spring to early fall extending our summers but then some of the hottest temperatures are possible in areas that have never seen this kind of heat before. then think back to last year when seattle hit 108 degrees and british columbia hit 121 degrees. and now we have in 2022 the first ever 104-degree reading in our changing climate and as we take a look at what caused that heat wave, more intense areas of high pressure that are slower moving and that caused that record high temperature but there will be some relief coming in a couple of days even here in

our country we're seeing extreme heat. record after record set and as we head through today, the plains and gulf coast have excessive heat warnings but it's also the northeast that's dealing with some extreme heat as well today. so we'll continue to watch this and talk about any changes in our forecast. mike, you're look at delays now and later. >> yeah, we can predict the pattern in the mornings so we knew this would build 101 through san jose but it's a lighter build here traveling north of the airport we're seeing more slowing there because some folks are getting up and clustering there. 87 may see more slowing past the airport there. later on tonight 7:30 game the quakes are playing a home game tonight at papal park so cullman, 87 and may get more traffic coming in the area. keep that in mind if you're traveling through the san jose area after work. i smooth flow of traffic on the peninsula and slowing typical

spots through hayward. 84 not so bad, an early build there and things are smoothing out now through livermore. just like the previous days they're having a closure of one bore remaining open for the other. all lanes open for west 80 at university. the earlier crash did take its toll slowing there. mike, thanks. 6:41 now. insuring social and racial equity. >> providing equity in our city, making sure that our city is just. >> coming up next on today in the bay, the steps one bay area city is taking to make sure its community is well-represented. fresh off the nba champ win, steph curry in for a big night. what we can expect as he takes center stage ashe host. t

making sure that our city is just and the conversations have been nothing but eye opening and important. i think probably one of the most important things i learned about this whole process is that we have to have uncomfortable conversations but we have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable exactly. >> sometimes we have to talk about public safety. >> so a couple of meetings under your belt so far. you're discussing a lot of issues. do you hope to have action on these things and what's coming out of it so far? >> the whole idea is an opportunity for our residents to have an open and frank conversation to go to this commission and talk about their experiences in terms of public safety. and to have this commission come back and come up with policy ideas for the city council to make sure that we are a more equitable city. one of the things that we have

learned about this whole process is that we want to make sure that we provide mental health services to those having crisis and we have been able to tackle that issue in the forefront by partnering with the county of san mateo with our police officers when there's a mental health crisis that we have a specialist to go with the police officer to help deescalate potentially a mental health crisis happening in the city. >> i talked to the mayor about so much more. you can watch the full interview. download our nbc bay area streaming app on roku, amazon fire or apple tv. a closer look at how bad spam messages are getting on our cell phones. the rise of robo tech is the center of a new watchdog report and you're familiar with the calls that interrupt your day.

rip currents as well. here we're looking at temperatures in the mid 60s for san francisco and half moon bay. but the further you go inland, the hotter it's going to be. this is a trend we have seen recently, it continues today. still comfortable in san jose reaching 80 degrees but a short drive down to morgan hill, in the mid 90s there and mid snoints for the inland east bay. tomorrow it's more of the same. if you're in the 90s today. you'll be in the 90s tomorrow but if you're in the 60s. you'll continue to see 60s in the forecast from friday into the weekend. also the heat is not breaking for areas and parts of the south and southwest across the country. that have been dealing with extreme temperatures recently. take a look at st. louis headed for 99 degrees and 101 in boise. of course that heat continues in las vegas and phoenix but it's actually been above normal even there. here in antioch, our ten day temperatures in the upper 90s

then trending more towards the mid 90s which you notice that there's really not much of a cool down here over the next several days. just coming out of the mid 90s to the upper 80s for the weekend. mike, you're seeing different timing heading towards the bay bridge. >> it might be a similar time here but we're looking at where the slowing is. bay bridge just starting to fill in the lanes off the crossing. coming off the maze is great. get to go the maze on 880 is fine as well. the slower drive here for westbound 80 really coming down off of richmond and into berkley. the earlier crash caused a big back up. activity there that cleared up. still recovering but that's where you'll find the slowing further up in richmond. meanwhile, the rest of the bay shows a nice smooth easy drive. san jose is starting to see the build to 101. >> thanks so much. it's 6:52. healthcare workers in redwood city say they're ready to walk

that was already previously approved. critics say this deal was rushed and didn't happen all out in the open. we also have surveillance video of the killing of a food delivery and ride share driver. it's graphic. oakland police are asking you look at the suspect's manner richls and listen for voices to see if you recognize them. the police chief told us that when he was shot, his girlfriend's son heard the shots and called his mother who dropped what she was doing in china town to rush there. chief armstrong doesn't think that he was targeted for anything but his money or car. however, he does admit china town and little saigon are the most violent locations in oakland. the commander of the china town district will tour the neighborhood along with the council president to address safety in the community. back to you. chris, thank you. today san francisco general reopening its drop in monkeypox clinic. it runs from 8:00 to noon.

the blistering hot temperatures without that end in sight. >> not just the coast. green bay, wisconsin really hot. >> yeah, and we're seeing it in places that don't typically deal with that kind of heat and they may not have air conditioning. so as we take a look at what's going on for our inland temperatures, we'll reach into the mid 90s. they do come down to the mid 80s for some of our warmest spots inland but this heat does continue. we do have the natural air conditioning continuing in san francisco. looks good there. >> let's look at the bay bridge toll plaza where it's filling into the typical shot we expect to see about now. a different pattern going on slowing in richmond recovering now coming through berkley. the earlier crash at university took a while to clear but it's clear i believe of the off ramp as well. as we look at dublin, a smooth flow of traffic coming out but the reminder that we just talked about in case you haven't heard. the fire off 580 has cleared long ago, fine for this
