good morning. it is sunday, july 9th, 7:00. a live look outside from our emeryville camera.

clouds and fog over the san francisco skyline on a cool sunday morning. thank you so much for starting it with us. i'm kira klapper. cinthia pimentel joins with us a quick look at the microclimate forecast. i finally brought out my short sleeves, because the weather got so hot, and now -- >> yeah, good morning, kira and everyone. we're going to need a sweater weather kind of morning to get through our sunday. san rafael, seeing the low clouds hanging on over the north gate mall ch and temperatures are chilly in the north gate. i saw santa rosa at 46. a calm wind out to have west. let's go to the east bay. livermore, 54 degrees. the wind picking up. breezy today, like we saw yesterday. breezy at the giants game, upwards of 30-mile-an-hour winds coming on shore.

so a similar pattern to yesterday. we'll walk you through our micromy matt forecast. we begin in san francisco where an explosion of an underground pg&e vault damaged homes and destroyed one car. firefighters stonlded around 8:30 last night, saying the explosion impacted one block between laguna and buchanon. you can see beyond that burnt out tesla there, which had been parked over a manhole cover. windows in buildings were blown out by that explosion. no word on what caused the eruption, but pg&e did deenergize the vault to work on repairs. we also continue to follow developing news out of the north bay, where a small plane

crashed. it happened around 10:30 late last night. when it went down at the end of the runway at the san rafael airport on mid ranch road. firefighters found the plane upside down and had to extricate two people trapped inside. a chp helicopter also transported one victim to the hospital. nearby, we could see power poles with downed lines. pg&e reported nearly 2,000 customers lost power after the crash. we are working to learn the conditions of those two victims. in the south bay, a woman was killed after she was hit by a car. san joseolice say it happened st before 10:00 last night near capital expressway and the monterey highway. paramedics rushed the woman to the hospital where she passed away. police shut down about a mile of the expressway while they investigated. now to san francisco, where police and crowds of

skateboarders clashed near deloris park. things started off for the annual hill bomb, but quickly took a turn. videoposted on social media throws people throwing rocks and bottles. police were there in force trying to get the crowds out. [ inaudible ] >> police put up barricades in an attempt to minimize the large hill bomb which, as you can see, is when a skater goes down a big hill. sfpd says other hill bombs have led to deadly accidents. but the crowd moved the barricades to continue skating, and eventually moved to nearby church street. video shows some people in the crowds throwing things, others graffitiing at least one muni train. no word on arrests.

now to a live look at the "ruby princess" still docked at pier 27. crews are finalizing repair work to the hull after the ship hit the pier on thursday moring a g side. it was heading to alaska and expecting to leave this afternoon. but the u.s. coast guard must first approve and sign off on the repairs to the hull. the 3,000 passengers scheduled to take the cruise have been offered a full refund if they decide not to go, or a 75% credit towards a future crew it is they take the shortened seven-day trip. in oakland, it was another day of problems with the city's dispatch system, impacting 911 calls. today, first responders and emergency operators are crossing their fingers it doesn't happen again. yesterday morning, the system

went down for three hours. this, after a massive power outage knocked out the system for a full day on thursday. dispatch operators had to route calls manually, and that slowed response times for police, firefighters, and paramedics. the system was restored friday night until again yesterday morning. critics, including the mayor of oakland, say the aging system has been underfunded for decades. overnight, firefighters kept their eyes on a brush fire that ignited yesterday and forced a vallejo neighborhood to evacuate. this morning, those families are breathing a sigh of relief after the blaze came too close for comfort. >> reporter: there are lots of homes that are butted up to this field, and neighbors say they are grateful that crews got this fire-stopped before the winds picked up. >> we were sitting in the living room and we saw the smoke. i thought, somebody's house is on fire.

>> reporter: evalyn dunn realized she was not seeing a house on fire. >> oh, my god, the field. so we ran to the back and it started getting closer and closer and closer. you can't see anything. it's just black smoke. >> reporter: saturday evening, fire crews responded to blames burning in a vallejo field, just off of turner parkway. evalyn says she and her neighbors hosed down their properties proactively as they watched the fire creep closer. then they had to evacuate. >> it already started to burn up the fence, and with the dry brush, we wouldn't have had a chance. >> reporter: but the crews acted quickly, starting the fire by sundown. evalyn is greatful. >> thanks to the fire department, because if it wasn't for them, our houses would be gone. >> reporter: alyssa gourd, "today in the bay." now to a team of 15 students from palo alto high school who

built this solar powered car. they're getting ready to put it to the test. the team is headed to texas where they will compete against students across the country. emma gosk spoke to the members about all the work that led to this. >> reporter: it was a race against the clock to get a solar powered car ready in time for competition. now, the team is just days away from hitting the open road. >> oh, look at this! >> reporter: it's called the beast. it's a solar powered car built by 15 determined students from palo alto high. it will be competing in the national solar power challenge next sunday. >> in around seven days, 1400 miles, and it's a three-hour shift per driver. i'll go max speed, and the motor can turn the wheel around 77

miles per hour. >> reporter: last fall, this 16-year-old and her mom found out about the competition online. >> i said, you know, there's no team here in the bay area. we should start one. >> we just made a google forum and put it on every single parent channel we could find. >> reporter: most competitions have at least 20 people, if not more. and this team managed to build the beast in just four months. >> honestly, i thought we wouldn't be able to get there just because of how late we started. >> reporter: they found a workshop and learned welding, woodworking and sustainability with renewable energy. they are currently fund-raising for extra parts they need for competition. >> once we get that, maybe take a week break, and then straight to the next car. >> reporter: applications are already mounding for the future

team. emma goss for "today in the bay." it's 7:09. much more ahead. coming up, we go live to washington, d.c. for our weekly interview with chuck todd, who has a preview of this week's "meet the press."

welcome back. although the 2024 presidential election is still a ways away, nearly 20 republicans are vying to become the gop candidate. let's bring in nbc news political director and moderator of "meet the press" chuck todd, who has a preview of today's show. hi, chuck. as always, thanks for joining us this morning. i noted that you traveled to north dakota to interview the governor there, and people might not know this, but governor ber gham is spending more adds in

iowa and new hampshire than any other person vying for the nomination. what is he saying in your conversation that might pique voter interest about him? because he's pretty under the radar at this point. >> he is. but for the neighborhood you live in, he's a former tech exec. this is a man who created a software company in north dakota, sold it to microsoft, was an executive for microsoft. it got him right around billionaire status. he's not quite ready to be called a billionaire, but he's a multi-hundred millionaire, if you will. so some people think, the governor of north dakota, probably an agriculture person or something like that. this is a different kind of candidate. he's more of a mitt romney type. came from the business community and got into politics. he is vowing that he will not

touch cultural issues. he doesn't want to sign any abortion bills, anything on transgender rights. he's done that as governor. he comes across, he's sort of implies that the legislature is more conservative than he is on these issues. but because they have a veto proof majority, he lets it go. but he thinks a president should be focused on energy, the economy, and national security, period. i just don't know if there is an audience inside the republican primary, and a primary that seems to be animated more by the culture war issues, transgender issues. when you look at what desantis and trump are hitting each other over, it's on culture issues. but we'll see. he claims he's speaking for the exhausted majority. >> i'm an exhausted majority, i would think, and not touching culture wars seems appealing to me. but as you point out, people seem to enjoy being mired in the

culture wars right now. chuck, as always, thanks for joining us this morning. we look forward to that interview. we hope you join chuck for this morning's "meet the press." he will have that exclusive interview with governor of north dakota, and governor of new jersey, phil murphy. if you stay here with us, "meet the press" is on at 8:00 a.m. after this news cast. as always, coming up in about 30 minutes from now, we'll talk to political analyst larry gerston for our weekly segment. we'll look at governor newsom and the reason he was also campaigning in idaho over the july fourth weekend. former professor turned most important economic leader in the world janet yellen held a news conference in beijing following her meeting with chinese officials. during her remarks, she touched on the complex relationship between the u.s. and china, while noting the two nations'

share interest of peace and prosperity for their citizens. >> as the world's two largest economies, our nations collectively represent 40% of the global economy. what we do, both in the bilateralosphere shapes the lives and livelihoods of people in our countries and beyond. >> she also emphasized the importance of national security for both nations and encouraged an open line of communication. she is flying back to d.c. right now. a social media account blocked on twitter for tracking elon musk's private jet is on threads. jack sweeney tracks where musk's

private jet goes and lands. now, elon jet is on threads with more than 21,000 followers. you may remember that account was suspended from twitter last year, despite using flight information that is in the public doe neighbor. it happened after musk threatened to sue sweeney and claimed his son had been followed by a stalker. trending this morning, an otter on a surf board. sounds cute, but the reality is a little less fun, apparently. we have photos taken in santa cruz last night. a surfer who owns that board says the otter was aggressive. the surfer left it behind and swam back to shore. people in a boat scared off the otter and when the surfer came back, the board had bite marks in it. if you aren't planning to go

to santa cruz, we have some local events you can plan today. >> good morning. let's begin in the neighborhood around japan town, san jose. today, it's the second day of the obon festival, where ancestors are honored, with lots of food, games and over 1,000 people joining in dance with drumming. but this year, there's a special appearance by this singer. you will recognize her voice from "crazy rich asians," and look that over on instagram. and another festival with food is happening on the island of alameda. they promise the best in latin food. this is held on the grounds, located at the old naval air station. beautiful views of the san francisco skyline and the bay

bridge across the water from why you will be. or you can head over to here for their county fair. you can still try to get a bunch of county fair fun on this last day, including a chance to catch a racing pig. and i'll have your monday morning commute right here on "today in the bay." >> thanks, mike. time now to check in with cinthia pimentel for a look at the forecast. you say this will be a lot like yesterday. >> rinse and repeat. but there is better news in the extended outlook. over san francisco right now, waking up to chilly temperatures and the wind from the pacific, picking up around 17 miles per hour in the city. what does it look like for the

rest of us going through today? bodega bay, through the petaluma gap, through parts of the delta and fairfield, 25 to 35-mile-an-hour winds. we saw a breezy afternoon yesterday. we'll see another today for our sunday plans. even through this evening, 7:00 time stamp up there, looking at breezy conditions through the peninsula, over the pass, and even down in the south bay. it should be a little similar tomorrow, but a little less of those strong winds as we get ready for high pressure to build in. i wanted to show you this graphic. spare the air days, look at 2020. that was a crazy year with all of the wildfires, some very unhealthy air. 2023, we have only had one of those days so far. but that could change, as i was seeing high pressure build back in later this week. for the time being, let's get out there and enjoy the nice, clean air that we have so far. at the obon festival down here in san jose and japan town,

plenty of sunshine and a comfortable day to honor their ancestors and celebrate the community that is in japan town. what does the rest of the bay area look like? upper 60s, the numbers we were seeing yesterday. 78 for you out in fairfield. still pleasant in napa. tomorrow, we have some low 80s through santa rosa, fairfield, concord. comfortable weather down here in the santa clara valley. on tuesday, that's when the ridge of high pressure will come in from the southwest with gusts of 90s on the board. 93 in fairfield. some 80s popping up in mountain view. and really that heat will build as we go into wednesday. heat comes back in from the desert southwest and i think it will be a ridge of high pressure that stays with us for a while. so as we take a look into next weekend, might be a good idea to

make plans now, because it will be warm in the inland valleys. and a lot of sunshine icons i put up there on the board with some 70s out in the city. and inland valleys feeling the sizzle on tuesday through the rest oh of the week. it's going to be hot friday, saturday, sunday. i think most will peak on saturday. like i was saying, it could continue on into the week after that, kira. >> i don't love saturday. but i'm more into tuesday. 78 sounds good. cinthia, thanks. it's 7:21. much more ahead. coming up, another day of the u.s. women's open in the books at pebble beach. anthony flores spent the day there. highlights are next in sports.

welcome back. it was moving day at the u.s. women's open in pebble beach.

rose zhang tried to climb up the leader board. anthony flores has the highlights from the coast. >> reporter: what a day at pebble beach. a new face climbs to the top of the leader board after a third round 66. let's show you the highlights. the sup making a guest appearance at pebble for the first time this week. it was a beautiful day. she tried to make a move and began at plus one. got birdies on two and six to drop her to 1 under par. but she had a few hiccups. that happens in a mayor championship. she shoots an even par 72. plus one for the championship, tied for ninth place. but she's eight strokes back of hataoka, who shot a 6 under 66. she's in the lead by one shot at 7 under par. as for rose, here are her thoughts with dealing with all the attention she has been getting as the new face of

women's golf. >> look at the views out here. it's incredible. really great to just be here at pebble. such a historic moment. my friends treat me the same. i think that definitely helps. and i'm just kind of going along for the ride. but it definitely doesui a lot more patience with myself. >> the championship continues on nbc bay area. we'll bring you six hours of live final round coverage teeing off at noon. in pebble beach, anthony flores, nbc bay area news. >> not a bad assignment, anthony. thanks so much. it is 7:26 right now. we do have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, take a look at this. skateboarders taking over a san

francisco street. police there moving in. what happened at the annual event?

good morning. it is sunday, july 9th. 7:28 as we look outside. cloudy skies over walnut creek. should be a day similar to yesterday, but we have a warmup on the way. something to look forward to. thank you so much for starting your sunday morning with us. i'm kira klapper. cinthia pimentel joins us with a quick look at the microclimate forecast. i still maintain the goldilocks theory. i don't like it too cold or too hot. you have some good news coming up. >> it will be comfortable for most of us as we get out the door on this sunday. we are waking up to that no sky july. down here in the south bay, a live look over san jose. it's chillier. i don't know if you felt that

this morning, but i sure did. our studio is not helping with the ac. cloudy start here in dublin. i don't know if you can tell, but the breeze is ticking up in the east bay. one more day to get to the alameda county fair. it ends today. plenty of sunshine with a comfortable afternoon out there despite the breeze. we'll keep those cool and breezy conditions for today. there is a warming trend ahead that we'll feel as soon as tomorrow. i'll walk you through the details coming up. >> cinthia, thanks. we continue to follow developing news out of san francisco, where pacific heights was robbed by an underground explosion. it seemed to be a pg&e vault and it damaged homes and destroyed at least one car. firefighters responded around 8:30 last night. they say the explosion impacted one block of pacific avenue, between laguna and buchanon. we want to show you this video

from the citizen's app. you can see a burned out tesla, which had been parked over the manhole cover. windows in nearby residential buildings were blown out by the explosion. no word on what caused the underground interruption. pg&e de-energized the vault to work on repairs. firefighters say no one was injured. we continue to follow developing news out of the north bay, where two people were involved in a plane crash. it happened around 10:30 late last night. the small plane went down at the end of the runway at the san rafael airport. firefighters found the plane upside down and had to extricate two people trapped inside. a chp helicopter responded and transported one victim to the hospital. the plane appears to have clipped a nearby power pole, downing the lines. pg&e reported nearly 2,000 customers lost power after that crash. we're still working to learn the

conditions of those two victims. and in southern california, a deadly train crash in riverside county claimed the lives of six people. it happened yesterday morning when a cessna business jet crashed around 4:00 a.m. in marietta. firefighters put out a small brush fire that spread from the wreckage. the plane departed from harry reed international airport in las vegas. three men and three women died. the victims range in age from 25 to 51. the crash is being investigated by the faa and the ntsb. now to a followup on a story we have been covering all week. police in the south bay made an arrest after several cases of suspected arson. police arrested this man, 26-year-old chase harlow, on friday. he is connected to a fire downtown and a robbery earlier in the week. this comes after the police said they were looking into eight

cases of arson. police released these surveillance videos of a person in interest. investigators are still trying to find that man. they say he may be responsible for setting several fires at apartment complex. police say, though, it's still unclear if the fires are connected. to san francisco now, where police and crowds of skateboarders clashed near deloris park. things started off peacefully yesterday initially for the annual hill bomb. it took a turn. video posted shows people throwing rocks and bottles, even tagging muni trains. you can see smoke there. police were there in force attempting to get the crowds out of deloris park. >> police proactively put up barricades in an attempt to minimize the large hill bomb,

which, as you see here, when skaters bomb or go down a big hill. sfpd says other hill bombs have led to deadly accidents in previous years. but the crowds removed the barricades and continued skating. they eventually moved to church street nearby. video shows the people in the crowds throwing things. as you can see here, others graffitiing at least one muni train. no word on any arrests. right now, the "ruby princess" is still docked in san francisco. crews are finalizing repair work to the hull after the ship hit the peer thursday morning, leaving a gaping hole in the side. they were scheduled to head to alaska on thursday. the crews line expects the ship to leave this afternoon. but the u.s. coast guard must first sign off on repairs. the 3,000 passengers who are scheduled to take the cruise, have been offered a full refund if they decide not to go or get

a 75% credit towards a future cruise if they take the shortened seven-day trip. now to the search for a therapy dog in training in san rafael. police say buddy was taken from 4th street in san rafael around 2:00 on friday afternoon. he's a 1-year-old, 12-pound cavalier poodle pix. the owner was running errands and left buddy tied to a pole. >> a witness described that two women had taken buddy. he assumed that the dog belonged to them, but obviously upon further investigation, these two people took the dog without permission. >> reporter: police say buddy has been training to be a therapy dog through a local nonprofit organization, so it needs him back and is asking for the public to help. if you see him or have any information about buddy, you are asked to call police.

that tested positive for lime, but so did the patient. doctors say lime decide is not going away. and those parasites are threading more than lime. >> fever, body aches, not feeling well. you might get a headache. >> reporter: doctors say many of the tick-born illnesses can be the same. so that's why getting that tick tested is so important, especially as new viruses come out. the cdc is alerting people to a food allergy, bred by the lolonestar tick. the cdc s says i it can statark syndrome that makes you allergic to red meat. >> there's other ticks that are indigenous to say the west part of the country, and they make their way back to here, as well. >> reporter: the disease hasn't been spotted here, but with the ability to travel not just in

the u.s. but from country to country, new viruses are being brought here. and despite mosquitos carrying malaria, ticks can, too. all the more reason to take precaution with repeltant, and teching yourself and others in your family. illness can be treated. >> i had lyme as a child. i'm fine now. now to icon ig u.s. women's soccer star megan rapinoe. she has announced that she will retire. she announced that t the curren season w will be her final one. anand the calififornia n native shee felt h honored too b be ab have repreresented thihis couou anand federatition for so o man yeyears. ththe 38-year-olold has beeeen memember of the u.s. women'ss nationalal t team since 2006. she helped ththe teamm win twow ololympic golold m medals andnd worlrld cup championshships. shshe's beenn a keyey activivis

stories like this monday through friday. join us from 5:00 to 7:00 a.m. we're going to help you get started with the week. i'm marcus washington. back to you. >> we always love starting our mornings with you. while some of us spent the fourth of july watching fireworks, governor newsom mixed business with pleasure in idaho, a state where voters chose donald trump by a 4-1 margin over joe biden in 2020. but still, there in the gem state, newsom campaigned for biden's re-election. larry gerston joins us now. good morning. great to see you. >> good morning. >> obviously, there are intricate intentions, but at face value, why would newsom campaign in idaho? >> you remember that children's book "where is waldo?" >> of course. >> we're now asking where is

gavin? july fourth, gavin was, of course, in idaho. why idaho, you ask? especially since idaho voted 4-1 for trump over biden. newsom is of the opinion that democrats need to campaign in every single state. he's already been in texas, florida, in person mind you. and the idea is, he wants to get the democratic word out. unlike a lot of other democrats who shy away from these places. by the way, he started this whole campaign with a $10 million campaign fund, campaign for democracy that he put together himself. this is on his dollar, so to speak, making the charge all over the country. >> so texas, florida, idaho, don't seem very likely for joe biden. but on the side of that, we know that the governor will be termed out of office in 2026. he says he's not interested in running for the senate seat that will be vie kated by dianne

feinstein. what do you think is his end game? >> he's not talking to me, but i think we can figure a few things out by watching what he does. number one, he has a three-part strategy. number one, campaign on all these issues that no oer democrat wants to go. number two, he wants to position himself for t what if case. what if joe bideneces not to run because of health or other reasons? whatf vice president harris somehow fails, not catch on? there he is aft campaigning all over the place. number three, and probably most important, he's establishing a nation organization all over the country. every place he's campaigned, he's adding to his great big role, if you will. the idea is, he's ready. not just in 2024. but in 2028, 2032. he'll only be 63 years old, that's a baby by today's

standards, in 2032. so this is a guy with a long-term strategy, and you're looking at part one. he's really thinking this through. >> so being devil's advocate here, he's still our governor for another 2 1/2 years. so if he's campaigning this aggressively for biden, will he be able to be as focused on our state? >> you know what? republicans are not so sure, that's for sure. they say look, how can you do this? how can you go ahead and be running all over the place, when california has all these issues, homelessness, shortage of homes, education in california is suffering. transportation, water, you name it, we have issues up and down the wazu. not to mention the $31 million budget deficit that some people say he papered over. they are saying you can't do both. and if any of these things goes south, be sure they will be on his case. >> yeah. i was just thinking you are a
