died. health leaders in napa county are narrowing in on the source of that outbreak. ian cull explains. >> reporter: zeroing in on the source. the napa county health officers identified a large air conditioning unit on the roof of the embassy suites napa valley had traces of legionella. a bacteria that causes severe pneumonia known as legionnaires disease. they believe it's the connecting factor the for 12 people in the hospital over the past few weeks. one man in his 50s die. >> this cooling tower has been taken off line which mitigates any ongoing risk to public health. >> reporter: three patients are in the hospital. one on a ventilator. none of the patients were guest at the hotel but instead neighbors who live in the surrounding area. >> if the cooling tower is contaminated with the bacteria, it can disseminate up to a mile. >> reporter: we spoke with a professor of medicine and

infectious disease expert at stanford. he says people over 50 with severe underlying conditions are most at risk and you contracted by breathing in small droplets of water in the air that contained the bacteria. >> air conditioning systems and even hot water supplies in hospitals have been identified as sources of outbreaks. >> reporter: he says it's not spread from person to person and can be treated by antibiotics when caught early. >> these units personalize depending on the concentrations of bugs that are present. people downwind from a cooling tower could be at risk. in the health officer says legionnaires is rare and usually get up to two cases per year. as for the outbreak, they are still testing other water sources in the area. >> the investigation team works with embassy suites to remediate the source and continue to work on the remediation until the issue is

resolved. >> reporter: the hotel is open and operating. we reached out to embassy suites parent company, hilton, by email but not have heard back. happening today, police will talk more about the man arrested with the pellet gun shootings. officers arrested the man on monday. police tied him to seven random pellet gun attacks. the victims suffered a collapsed lung and fractured rib. the attacks happened between april and june in san jose. developing now, bart police are proceeding a stabbing that night. officers investigated the train around 8:00 p.m. the victim did not suffer life- threatening injuries and the station is fully open again this morning. as the money -- number of monkeypox cases, there are new

is that monkeypox be yet another excuse to act out on hate. in -- >> reporter: there are reports because of people getting monkeypox. it's like hiv all over again. we reached out to the largest blood testing company and said its workers are not trained or equipped-swab leeches to test for monkeypox. labcorp phlebotomist are trained to collect blood from patients who may have different communicable diseases including but not limited to hiv, hepatitis, covid-19 and now monkeypox. gabrielle says despite possible healthcare challenges people may face, her message to the lgbtq community is clear.

bridge. a very nice shot. we see a silhouette along with the clouds in the back. >> you can see the fog in the distance. we've had quite a bit of rain across the region. thanks to in part of a tropical system and monsoon moisture. look at that lightning strikes happening over this area and moving over nevada as we are seeing a high amount of humidity. it's going to get drier today. we see the green shifting off towards the east. there may be some mugginess to the air but it does look like drier air comes in for parts of the bay area tomorrow. we are looking at a mostly clear start this morning. as we head to the bay, the seven-day forecast is at the bottom of the screen. look at where we are headed for today. as the humidity comes down, it

will get hotter. we are talking about more 90s on the map with walnut creek reaching 92. oakland in the upper 70s and 70 in san mateo. san francisco thing in the mid 60s for this afternoon. look how hot it will be in ukiah reaching 102. you compare that to the 60s near the coastline so wide ranging temperatures thanks to the climate. we will see some slightly lower humidity into the weekend. we are seeing the surge of the monsoon moisture thanks to this high pressure to the north with this clock wise wind flow that brings it to the north. that's the reason why we are getting the high humidity we are seeing. as we look at our seven-day forecast, our temperatures go from low 90s to upper 80s. not much of a cool down even into early next week. san francisco, we are in a steady pattern with our coastal clouds and fog and that will keep temperatures in check. we will see highs in the upper 60s here. climate in crisis. every day we seek more extreme weather events around the world from wildfires to extreme heat to widespread flooding and

melting glaciers. all of what's happening is not doom and gloom. there are climate activists and scientists working on making sure a worsening climate is not the only future we will and door. i talked to the founder of the foundation for climate restoration who is working with companies and researchers to restore our earth to its natural state by removing carbon that's causing our earth to warm. >> all the pathways ended up being natural. i did astrophysics, designed computers, hi tech is my thing. when all is said and done the four pathways which we call them the big four are all natural. it's because nature has spent billions of years figuring out to keep it stable. >> peter describes four methods of removing harmful carbon from the atmosphere.

many of those methods are naturally occurring and already being put to action. mostly using the ocean to sequester carbon using seaweed and kelp. scientists are removing nothing which is a harmful gas. even taking carbon out of the air and creating limestone used for buildings and roadways. he talks about these methods during our interview now available to watch online. go to nbcbayarea.com click on our messy plate list is our climate in crisis page. another sign san francisco's new district attorneys doing things her way, she's pulling dozens of plea deals off the table involving suspected drug dealers. she announced she is revoking more than 30 plea offers followed by prosecutors. separately she is launching a new policy no longer allowing
