with a flight infestation on the heat wave only making it worse. we are on right now because of the kickoff to nfl football but we begin with breaking news, the world mourning the death of the uk's longest reigning monarch, queen elizabeth ii. the royal family announced this afternoon that the queen had passed peacefully at her summer home in scotland. she was 96 years old. the queen's death marks the end of a 70+ year reign on the throne. she was placed under medical supervision before her death as her family traveled to scotland to be by her side. outside buckingham palace right now, thousands are gathering to pay their respects to the queen , it is just after 11:00 p.m. there. the announcement of her passing came today in a simple message

at the gates of the palace. the queen's eldest son charles, now takes over as king. the entire world is paying their respects including in san francisco where grace cathedral rang at spell in the queen's honor after the announcement of her death. >> reporter: for much of the world, she was simply the queen, the longest-serving monarch in england's history, queen elizabeth's reign lasted more than 70 years. born into the royal family in 1926, she spent her entire life in the public eye. the pageantry of her 1947 wedding in westminster abby was just a prelude to an even bigger event, her coronation as queen at the age of 26,

following the death of her father, king george vi. during her reign, she visited dozens of nations and served as the head of great britain's military in times of strife. she had a daughter and three sons, but was troubled by the marital problems of her children including the divorces of prince charles, and prince andrew. while generally populate her popular, the queen was some size some side sometimes criticized as aloof. >> may each and every one of us thank god for someone who made many many people happy. >> reporter: her majesty's sense of humor was on display for the london olympics in 2012, a short film seem to have her parachuting alongside james bond into the games opening ceremonies. she was also witness to the wedding spectacles for her grandsons, prince william with kate middleton and later prince harry with meghan markle, but tensions associated with palace life led prince harry and

meghan markle to relinquish the royal duties and moved to the u.s. her royal highness into the passing of prince philip, his her husband is 73 years leaving her without her beloved partner for the final portion of her raining. a platinum jubilee earlier this year marked the queen's 70 years on the throne, although she missed a number of those events due to what was described as discomfort. her passing closes the tenure that left an indelible mark on all of england, as well as the world. so what happens next? detailed plans for the aftermath of the queen's death have been in place since the 1960s. if she died in london, a process called operation london bridge what unfold but because she died in scotland, her body will be taken to a palace in edinburg where she will then be transferred to london five days after her death. queen elizabeth's funeral is expected to happen 10 days

after her death following a national period of mourning. immediately after the queen's death, her oldest child, charles, automatically became king. while his wife camilla became queen consort. charles will officially became be proclaimed king the day after the queen dies which is tomorrow however his coronation ceremony is not expected to happen for at least a few months after the queen's passing. there is a bay area connection to the queen, in 1983 she was right here in san francisco, she went on a world went were met by then san francisco mayor dianne feinstein and then having dinner with president ronald reagan and first lady nancy reagan at the museum. she even made the president laugh with a joke about san francisco's weather. >> i knew before we came that we had exported many of our

traditions to deny the states but i had not realized before that the weather was one of them. >> you can see the president found that joke very funny. we go live at san francisco city hall where many people still remember that famous visit. >> reporter: here in san francisco city hall they've set up a condolence book for people to fill out and once it is filled, they are going to forward it to the british consulate here in san francisco and you can see over my shoulder that the u.s. flag is at half staff outside of the mayor's balcony, that is also in honor of the queen. there are also other places across the city paying tribute as well. at noon, the bells of grace cathedral rang in the queen's honor, she had been a constant presence in the lives of the british people and on the world

stage. >> it's very difficult to imagine the united kingdom and a commonwealth without her. >> reporter: for those who have met the queen, she left a remarkable impression, during her visit in march 1983, she joked about the city's rainy weather at the time, during a formal dinner with then- president ronald reagan. former san francisco mayors and former governor pete wilson were among the delegation of local leaders who interacted with her during that california visit. >> i would say that she is probably the royalty that will best be remembered in every way. >> it was absolutely a momentous time for our city but we are used to it and the mayor did an excellent job in hosting her. >> she was very pleasant, very

matter-of-fact. did not seem to take herself very seriously. i think she took her job very seriously. >> reporter: at grace cathedral when the bell told it actually pulled 96 times, once for each year of her life, a fitting tribute and when her funeral is going to be held, grace cathedral will also be holding a special service in tandem or at least on the same day. our coverage of the life and legacy of the world's longest reigning monarch is just getting started. special coverage on queen elizabeth on nbc nightly news which will begin at 3:30.

locally we are under a microclimate weather alert, temperatures over 110 are putting the bay area under an excessive heat warning creating potential power problems again. for the ninth day in a row we are under a flex alert and today it's expanded by two hours. it just started at 3:00 p.m. and we are being asked to conserve power anyway we can until 10:00 tonight. this heat wave putting a major strain on our state's power grid. the heat once again affecting our transportation, bart is slowing trains in the east bay, causing delays. he can actually warp the tracks and slowing trains down reduces that risk. caltrain sent out this alert, halting its faster baby bullet service also because of the heat. the local and limited trains are running at this hour. the end is in sight, take a live look at the golden gate bridge, the seabreeze will be returning along the coastline, we have life team coverage and let's begin with our chief meteorologist. we are hanging in there, but barely. >> we are definitely going to see some marked relief as we

get into the weekend, what is phenomenal about what's happening today is those numbers surged back up again as expected but it's only 3:00. numbers are still warming and we have already set records with those temperatures continue to rise. right now are record in concord reaching so far, 106 and another record in livermore up to 111 in santa rosa a record 107 and tying so far in san jose at 100. a very warm day so far with 80s in downtown. what will happen is this area of high pressure will be fading over the next 24 to 36 hours, so this is the last day of those 110 degree plus temperatures. the forecast through tonight, we do have warm 80s and 90s at 8:00 through 11:00 p.m. starting off in the 70s tomorrow morning and instead of that 110 to 113, we will be at 105 tomorrow afternoon and 106.

so tomorrow is a little bit better but look at major cooling by this weekend, instead of triple digits we are back to the 80s and 90s inland and that cooler weather does have something to do with hurricane kay, we will talk about the very unusual weather pattern that will bring thunderstorms to california this weekend. this excessive heat causing sporadic power outages across the bay area for several days. take a look at the current outage map by pg&e, not too bad right now, but more outages are expected this evening, making it extremely miserable for residents. we go to a major substation in campbell with a look at the conditions and why the mayor of san jose says pg&e's response has been unacceptable. >> reporter: the substation provides electricity to much of the south bay, but a transformer here because of the heat wave was one of the many

that failed during this period of time, leaving thousands of people in the dark, so tonight, some of those customers, there's exhaustion, and blame. there has been a lot of this across the bay area this week, in fact, a pg&e worker report repairing a line is one of many heat exhaustion reports today. >> we are being reminded just how difficult it is to work in these conditions and we are reminding all of our coworkers to be safe out there to take rest breaks and make sure they stay cool and hydrated. >> reporter: the good news, kaiser permanente says it has not seen a jump in he related emergency visits, but they still asked residents to take precautions. some of the patient say they are fed up with the heat and all these flex alerts. >> the heat is so bad. i've lived in phoenix for 10 years and i didn't think i would experiences again. it is awful. >> i am so done and i run hot

so it makes it even worse. >> reporter: the mayor of san jose says he is done, too. the mayor issued a news release blasting pg&e for what he says are infrastructure failures that left nearly 100,000 san jose residents in the dark this week, including three san jose hospitals. the mayor says if pg&e does not present the plan to immediately repair and replace its infrastructure, the city will seek a court injunction to force it to do so. >> we are having good conversations with the mayor, i value and respect him and i appreciate that he is advocating for my city that i was born and raised in. >> reporter: the utility says it already replaced 700 transformers across the city in the last couple of years and it, too, is frustrated with the outages. >> this is historic and unacceptable, we all rely on power and it is absolutely essential to our quality of life. >> reporter: the mayor says he is concerned about the safety of residents and the viability

of small businesses that have to shut down because of these outages. my phone says it's 103 degrees right now in campbell, but the good news is it only feels like 102. pg&e causes heat wave a heat storm and as of noon a clock noon today there were 824 customers without power and you can expect that number to go up in the next couple of hours. too many flies, the reason so many of them are buzzing around the east bay right now and why heat is only part of the problem. your power bill could soon get even more expensive, it has nothing to do with the heat wave. will break down we

making news on the

peninsula and it's a disturbing discovery that just came into the newsroom. our investigative unit just spoke with sources who say a man is in custody after severing a woman's head with a sword. according to authorities with knowledge of the investigation it happened just before noon on laurel street, this is just north of the downtown area. investigators will be holding a news conference with an update in less than an hour, we will bring you updates online and in our newscast after tonight's nfl game. we are also getting disturbing new details in the case of a contra costa county man who allegedly placed hidden cameras inside a busy starbucks bathroom, he's accused of planting bathroom cameras at other businesses as well. he's facing more than 80 felony and misdemeanor charges for allegedly installing hidden cameras inside a starbucks bathroom in downtown walnut

street. he is claimed to have done the same thing at other businesses but prosecutors declined to give us the name of the other businesses. risen up and started cleaning and clearing out a large homeless encampment despite the heat wave, this is at the wood street camp under a stretch of 880 were recent fires have started. this morning, cleanup crews were greeted with a barricade which included a pickup truck to block caltrans from sweeping the camp, but they got in as you can see them using a tractor to lift and remove the truck. last month the governor's office sent oakland city attorney saying the city was dragging its feet on clearing out this camp at some say clearing up in can't is just going to create more problems. >> the flood of homeless people is growing and there's no solution on their side. they want to flush us out of here but this is the biggest

encampment perhaps in northern california or the united states and we feel this is the place to stand ground. >> reporter: later in the suite police appeared to make a couple of arrests. pleasanton buzzing about a problem nearly everyone is complaining about, flies. they say there are so many flies that customers are avoiding the downtown corridor and the heat is not helping the situation. visit downtown pleasanton and you may see a whole lot of swatting. >> right now there flies a liver. >> reporter: residents say it's unusually bad in the heat only seems to make it worse. businesses are going to great lengths to shoo them away, this

one bleaching the sidewalk to deter the flies. some downtown workers say they've seen a difference, outdoor seating has dropped off, as people opt to dine indoors in hope of fewer unwanted guests. >> i went with my friends for brunch one day and we said we are not going to come to downtown to eat until this problem goes away. >> we started seeing the flies when the heat started coming. >> reporter: this coffee and tea shop has purchased fly catching devices and a carnivorous plant to eat them up. so what can be done? no one seems to know the cause but a few theories are swirling around. the city of pleasanton didn't declined our request for an interview but said in a statement that the city take steps to address pests in general and staff is currently working with alameda county vector control to understand the additional contribute factors this year and if so,

how this can be addressed. >> i hope this problem can be solved. it's a difficult problem to solve if you don't know why it's happening. we are almost there with this heat, we have changes on the way. >> one more day of this hot weather moving across the bay area. we will show you what's on tap and you will be very happy to see in case you missed it, today is officially our last day of temperatures at 110 degrees and/or above. it got warmer today because it moved right on top of california. we will be undergoing changes tomorrow this area of high pressure will move a little more off toward the east and

that will make way for this cooler system offshore that will drop temperatures in a big way as we get the weekend forecast. we will give you all the details on that but let's go right to tomorrow morning where we will start off a little bit cooler with areas of patchy fog near the coast and a little near the bay. we are at 68 to the peninsula, the south fayette 70, some 60 stu san francisco and right across the north bay. temperatures tomorrow are expected to drop off by about 5 to 10 degrees so this will make it enjoyable, it is still considered to be in the heat wave because isolated areas will be in the 100s but that will be a lot nicer. we will drop down to 104 in pleasanton, one of three walnut creek, also 85 in oakland. relief through the peninsula with 92 in redwood city, san francisco back down to 60s in the marina, 75 downtown and the

north bay, 100 napa, 97 in novato but we all want that larger cooling is coming in saturday and sunday from that system offshore so this is a definite, we will see those chillier temperatures but here's the crazy thing, the way this is setting up, the circulation around it will pull in remnants of tropical system k, so clouds, humidity, lightning, and rain into california this weekend, the best chances of that rainfall will be through central southern california, the mountains around san diego could see one plus inches, the la area half-inch or maybe more. not a whole lot expected for us but we could get into dry lightning that would keep the fire danger high. here is hurricane k hitting mexico right now, winds at 75 miles per hour and watch how close it gets as the tropical storm to the la area. on sunday, san francisco down

to 69 and through the inland valleys, check it out. i've lowered it even more. 89 sunday, 70s next tuesday, wednesday, and thursday, it will feel like the ac is on when you open the door. >> that will be
