enforcement. "today in the bay's" susan mcginnis is live in washington. what do we know so far about this? >> well, marcus, good morning. just seven days after that mar-a-lago search, the political fallout here on capitol hill keeps on growing as does anti-fbi rhetoric. one week after fbi agents searched former president trump's florida home, a warning from the fbi and homeland security for agents to be extra vigilant. a joint bulletin also saying their families could be at risk. secret service hardening security at locations, including the white house, that following last week's attempted breach of the fbi cincinnati office and a spike in anti-fbi rhetoric online and on capitol hill. >> the fbi raid of president trump is a complete abuse and overreach of its authority. >> the republican party used to stand with law enforcement and i hope some of them do today, because this kind of rhetoric is very dangerous to our country. >> reporter: the senate

intelligence committee now asking for a national security damage assessment and for the justice department to provide the documents seized. >> it's very important long-term for the justice department now that they've done this that they show that this was not just a fishing expedition. >> reporter: the former president, who this weekend pointed to great simmering anger in the country claims the material was declassified. >> it would have to be documented what they were, each document, so that people would know what had been declassified. >> reporter: months earlier, trump's attorney signed a statement asserting all classified material was returned. >> if the trump people represented that they provided all the classified or national security information and didn't, that's a serious problem. >> reporter: still unknown, potential legal jeopardy for the first president in u.s. history to have his home searched by federal agents. and the former president also said this weekend on social media agents confiscated documents that fall under

attorney/client privilege or executive privilege and he wants them back. marcus? >> all right, we'll wait and watch what happens with that. susan, thank you. we're learning new details in the case of missing teen last seen over a week ago in placer county. placer county sheriff's office says kiely rodni was seen in a video earlier the evening of august 6th, wearing a white sweatshirt, shown in this photo you see on the left. it's unknown if she was wearing it when she was last seen. investigators hope this new clue will hopefully lead to more details about her disappearance. the 16-year-old was reported missing on august 6th after attending a party at placer family campground. moving you forward this morning on moving students out from underneath the pandemic, there's a big push to address the math education crisis in school classrooms. experts say that the average k through 12 student is more than half a grade level behind in math since the start of the

skills. and how the kids are headed back to school. >> here we go. >> here we go, exactly. maybe it's new outfits they'll be wearing or new uniforms? maybe keep something cool because we're tracking a warmup happening this week, kari. >> yes, we are under a microclimate weather alert as we get ready for hot temperatures, short sleeves and shorts for that first day of school. there will also be a hazy sky. we're talking about air quality here, where we will see some drifts of smoke coming in and some of the most unhealthy air quality will be in santa clara valley. if you are sensitive to the smoke and a little bit of that pollution, you do want to limit your time outside. our temperature today heads for 87 degrees in san jose and in fremont, but notice how livermore starts to heat up. it's going to reach 98 degrees today, 100 in fairfield. we'll see some low to mid-90s for much of the north bay, but also warmer in san francisco, reaching the upper 70s this afternoon. tomorrow is the peak of the heat and some of our valleys will

reach over 100 degrees. it's going to be dangerous for kids to have recess outside or if you have to work out there, you want to make sure you take lots of breaks and stay hydrated. we're going to be tracking that. mike's tracking where you can find some lower gas prices. >> kari, let's look at the cheapest gas prices. we found gas buddy of course, in oakland at go gas and food over here on $4.99 on mountain boulevard. costco in hayward, halfway avenue gas for $4.79 a gallon there, and warm springs gas in fremont on warm springs boulevard has a regular gallon of gas for $4.89 so we're looking not so bad. that's the good news. the traffic flow as we look at the big map, everything is looking pretty green. we continue to follow this deadly crash in oakland right by the coliseum, so the southbound side still down to just one lane. progress in the last few minutes as far as traffic being addressed still only one lane open but the two flatbed tow trucks look like they may be

of our east bay and north bay hills. this could give us a couple of lightning strikes. it will be possible and it's unfortunately coming up on two years and a day after the august 2020 lightning complex fires we saw from some of the lightning strikes there. doesn't look like it's going to be that big of an event but any time we see a chance of lightning we pay very close attention. we're also going to have hot temperatures to go along with that. we're starting out the week in upper 90s. 100 degrees on tuesday. 95 on wednesday and we're coming down by the end of the week, san francisco in the upper 70s for today and tomorrow, but then low 70s and eventually it will make it back to our usual 60s by the weekend. mike, you were looking at what's happening now, an update in oakland. >> the flashing lights obviously behind me, kari, still 880 at 66, just past the overcrossing, the flares still laid out here, two flatbed tow trucks, i saw

folk band concert. months before the big show she realized she had a conflict and couldn't go. ticketmaster said reis asell not available for this event. debbie called us for help. ticketmaster told us event promoters decide whether resales are allowed. ticketmaster did something it didn't have to, canceled debbie's order and gave her a courtesy refund that is $159.90 back in her account. the lesson here is any time that you are shopping for concert tickets or any tickets for that matter, you really do need to check the terms especially if you are on the fence and think you might need to sell them later on. fair warning though, the restrictions you read today might not apply tomorrow. for example, look at what we found on the ticketmaster website, it says "fan-to-fan resale may be removed at any time at the event organizer's

discretion." if you've hit a sour note with customer service, maybe our folks can help straight continue out. go to nbcbayarea.com, click the "responds" option from the main menu or give us a call. the number is 888-996-tips. >> thanks, chris. with the bay area's back-to-school season now well under way, google is releasing its mbe you're wonderingss wha? old school pencil sharpeners are the most searched item. who would have thought? searches for first day of school signs for theteners are up 170% and the phrase "how school" doubled. google analysed what in-person school is like. >> there's a lot of searches of how do i go back to school, how do i make new friends, what do i bring for lunch or how do i smell good all day at school.

in kids using ecigarettes. as one doctor explains, ecigarettes can damage kids' lungs and brains. >> exposing a developing brain, which is what preteens and teens have to high doses of nicotine contained in ecigarettes leads to addiction very quickly. these devices can be very potent in their addictive capacity. when that happens in a developing brain, anyone of any age can get addicted quickly. >> the doctor adds kids who use ecigarettes are four more times likely to try traditional cigarettes and three times more likely to become addicted to nicotine. the american lung association and the ad council are launching a new campaign to encourage parents to talk to their kids about the issue. 5:38. climate change could increase lightning in california and soon spark nor wildfires. a recent study predicts lightning strikes nationwide will increase 12% for every degree celsius of global warming

and ard coulding to the u.s. forest service, 40% of wildfires in the west were caused by lightning between 1992 and 2015. this data comes as tomorrow marks two years since three massive lightning fires sparked fires, you might remember seeing this in the skies during the early morning hours of august 16th, this is of 2020, hundreds of lightning strikes started several fires. they merged to become the czu, scu and lmu lightning complex fires. more than 846,000 acres burned. meteorologist kari hall is tracking this dangerous heat that's headed our way this week as well. always concerning, kari. >> it is. we are under a microclimate weather alert due to the excessive heat coming our way. also another concern toward the middle of the week, what caused the lightning strikes two years ago was the search of monsoon moisture. we're going to see more monsoon moisture coming in. this map shows the green where there is a high amount of mid

level moisture and then where we see it more clear, that's some drier air, so we do see that green starting to come back our way as we head toward the middle of the week, most of it staying to the east, but as we go toward wednesday evening, there will be one plume of moisture moving through the east bay and to the north bay, not a lot of rain associated with it, but there may be enough energy in the atmosphere especially combined with the high heat that we could see some lightning strikes once again coming two years and one day after that big complex of lightning that we had in 2020. so this will be very concerning, we'll be watching it very closely, as it could possibly spark some new wildfires, even just one lightning strike would be bad for us. we're going to see temperatures headed for the upper 90s and even near 100 degrees for our hottest spots inland. we'll talk about temperatures tomorrow and when we get a cooldown, that's coming up. mike has a look at what's happening at the nimitz. >> the nimitz moving much better now. didn't take long for to us get

wednesday for the chance of monsoon moisture coming in and possibly lightning. san francisco will feel much better with highs in the low 70s by the end of the week and 60s coming back in time for the weekend. mike, how is it looking for the drive through silicon valley? >> kari, green, green, right, except if i step over here, you see the slowing, right where we expect it. the patterns had been changing over the last couple of weeks. we're back to what we had earlier in the summer, we'll watch because the number of different school districts come in including franklin-mckinley you talked about that, so those elementary schoolers are starting school. as parents get used to the summertime traffic being over and the school mornings back on line as well. my goodness, i'm having trouble saying that. looking at 580 eastbound, there may be trouble clearing an overturned rig, counter commute, east getting to tracy out of livermore but a couple lanes blocked. it may be hours from what i hear. i'll give you an update coming up. back to you. >> thanks, mike. happening now, today marks
