right now at 5:00, a live look outside and it is getting hotter. temperatures will climb today with the excessive heat warning

on tap. meteorologist, kari hall, is tracking the timeline for your neighborhood. another district attorney faces a recall effort. we will tell you where we are in the process and how likely it could happen. also, president biden visits nato's newest member and russia's neighbor, finland. and the new nato promise of more help for ukraine. this is "today in the bay." good morning to you. thanks so much for joining us on this thursday. i am marcus washington. >> i am ginger conejero saab. laura garcia is off. we will get a look at the forecast with meteorologist, kari hall, in just a moment, but first, mike, you have been tracking something on the roads already. taking you out to the map for the last hour or so we have been tracking a deadly crash. sounds like there was a pedestrian running across

southbound 880 somewhere around 16th and they were hit by a big rig. sadly one life was lost at the trash and they just reopened the scene, and that was quick as the coroner arrived on the scene. there was a backup as folks are coming you have 980. kari, the headlights are going south going towards the coliseum, and now it's starting to calm down once again. >> looking good there. as we get a live look outside in san rafael this morning, as you get ready to head out, we are seeing a nice clear start to our morning. temperatures cool in the low 50s. as we go throughout the morning we will see the temperatures climbing. it will be about like it was yesterday with some mid-80s in much of the north bay, novato

reaching 68. we have talked about heat coming our way, and tomorrow when we see the temperatures go up several more degrees, we will see upper 90s in the south county. 103 in fairfield. look at san francisco. we will stay in the 60s here while novato heads for 90 degrees. temperatures going up even more for saturday. that's the peak of the heat when we will continue to see the excessive heat warnings in effect. we will talk more about that and when the heat starts to fade a bit. that's coming up in your microclimate forecast. here's new video from overnight near the scene of a standoff near 99th avenue near the oakland zoo. investigators telling our photographer at the scene this started after two people were shot. the video from last night shows

the driver's side shattered window from the suv, and the two victims are now in the hospital with no update on their condition. police are not confirming who is currently inside that home, but we do know that nobody is in custody just yet tied to that shooting. a definitive district attorney -- defiant district attorney is defending herself against a campaign to oust her. alameda county d.a., pamela price, says a campaign to launch a recall won't work. >> today in the bay's kris sanchez joins us now. how far along is this effort? seems like she just got to office. >> the recall campaigning is in the early stage of signature gathering, and it happens as she's barely six months into her position. pamela price is getting criticism from a group that

filed the paperwork launching the recall effort. price ran on a platform of criminal justice reform, but opponents say what they are seeing is plea deals and dropped charges, and one of the most notable cases is that case of jasper wu, the little boy killed in the shooting. the d.a.'s office referred us to price's campaign office who has not responded to our request. this is how she has contoured that criticism previously. >> the narrative of my opponents is a failed strategy. i won because people did not trust this office. we're here because this community did not trust this

office. >> save alameda for everyone is not speaking just yet, but they will have to raise money in order to gather all the signatures they need to qualify the recall, and that happens there could be a recall that could cost alameda taxpayers millions of dollars. another person is dead in another night of strikes. ukrainian forces shot down 20 russian drones. in some cases, falling debris sparked fires. >> this comes as president biden shifts his focus to finland, and while the idea of ukraine joining nato remains off the table, the members did agree to provide more assistance to help ukraine fight off russia

aggression. >> we're coming off and the ukrainians came in clear with their frustrations, but after high-level talks and new promises, the tone seems to be shifting to unanimity. >> the nations around the table not only share common history but we share common challenges and i would add, presumptuously, common values. >> nato promised a pathway for ukraine to eventually join. but refused ukraine's urgent calls for a concrete timeline while the war with russia is still raging.

>> our commitment to ukraine will not weaken. >> ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy checking his frustrations, and thanking the american people for the aid. >> you spend this money for our lives, and i think we save europe and all the world. >> finland shares a border with russia and thousand shares in an ironclad commitment to defend any allies against any threat. lawmakers here on capitol hill are closely watching these overseas meetings and we are seeing deep divisions particularly within the public party between members who want

to offer more sophisticated weapons to ukraine and those that want to sharply scale back on the spending. back to you, marcus and ginger. >> alice, thank you. new details this morning about the clash between police and skateboarders. the city says the vandalism will pay taxpayers $70,000. police wearing riot gear, no muni workers or passengers were injured. a live look in downtown san josé where today we will start to feel and see the heat up, but the temperatures is not the only thing bringing the heat. cal fire is planning to conduct a controlled burn this morning, and it's supposed to last

through most of the day providing conditions allow for it. agencies everywhere are responding. the states office of emergency services is activating phase 2 of the extreme responses program. >> this is something we expect to see increasingly as our climate gets hotter and we have significant dry spells. >> the state is upping its coordination for services in the event a emergency response is needed. and leading up to the weekend, kari hall has been tracking the heat all week. >> it's starting and we will see hotter temperatures as we go into the weekend as well as a high fire danger, so they are kind of preparing things for now. starting out early in the morning is the best plan, because now we are seeing cooler temperatures, mainly in the

upper 50s and low 60s as we get started. as we go throughout the day the wind will pick up, so at 2:00 to 3:00 this afternoon we will have a breezy northwesterly wind coming in, at 20 to 30 miles per hour and maybe even stronger through the tri-valley. i am not sure they will be able to continue the controlled burn in santa clara valley because it will be windy and temperatures are warming up. for the tri-valley, expect it to reach 90 degrees. we're staying in the 60s in san francisco while the east bay will see upper 70s. the north bay reaching into the upper 80s. we will talk about the weekend coming up in a few minutes. mike has a look at where we can find lower prices. >> yeah, i reached out to tracie, and i wanted to call it a clean sweep for the bay area prices.

all with the same price point of $4.09. same chain, same price in san josé at the -- in livermore, sorry, at the gas mart in livermore. and then san josé closes us out with 4.09, and i am stammering because these prices have not changed in the last few days and that means prices are rising up to meet them. there's a green flow of traffic, and you had the crash and remaining disabled vehicles are clearing from southbound 880, and the sig-alert has cleared from oakland and it's clearing across the bridges as well. the north bay not showing slowdowns just yet, but watching highway 4 for the first time. >> mike, those gas prices looking good. >> i like them under $5. google's a.i. chat box is

getting an upgrade. we will talk about the features for users, and one could have some looking back at familiar names, maybe siri or alexa. plus, how sweet it is to be loved by you, and maybe to eat by you. the star power helping ring in the new era. and grab the ranch, dressing and barbecue sauce, whatever you like to put on them. like to put on them. today is national fry day. - you ok? - there's a flex alert today

the time is 5:15 on this thursday morning. let's head to morgan hill where temperatures are in the upper 50s. it's a clear start and we will have a mild morning. it will heat up quickly as we head towards noon, and we are going to be in the low 80s and reach into the low 90s here. some of the inland valleys getting hotter for the next few days. we will get a look at that in the microclimate forecast. 580 moving smoothly. i know that looking at the data. a nice and easy drive but the volume is building. some other spots usually slowing at this time, we will get a look

at that. let's check in with pippa. >> wall street is set to close at their highest levels in more than a year, after data prices show easing in june. traders expect the fed to hike interest rates one more time this month and then possibly hold off for a while to assess how the series of hikes are working their way through the economy. in focus today, data on producer price inflation and jobless claims, and earnings from pepsico and delta airlines. spoken responses are available in more than 40 languages on google, and google has other.

krispy kreme was founded 86 years ago in 1937. customers can get up to four dozen donuts when you buy in store. if you want to access the offer online you can use the code 86years at check out. i did look up how much a dozen glazed donuts cost, and it's $17, so 86 cents is a great deal. >> i think it's a great deal, especially now. >> are you kidding? wow. yeah. seriously. >> i've got you guys. we will send you a few, too, pippa. >> thank you so much. if you have a sweet tooth,

in san francisco one of the most iconic stores is about to open. the original chocolate and ice cream shop opened in 1961, and originally focused on sundaes. the first 171 people in line will receive a free hot fudge sundae. that's for each year the company has been in business. music legend, kelly roland, will also be there to help with the ribbon cutting. >> she's my motivation. >> right? kelly rolen and chocolate. >> oh, yeah. >> another offer, one right after the other. it has been a pretty good week for free food already, as mentioned, ghiradelli sundaes,

and 7-eleven slurpees. >> well, how about fries? fries are a vegetable. today is marking national french fry day. mcdonald's, wendy's, fat burger, and the mcdonald's and wendy's deals are when you order from the app, so you have to get the free app. >> you have guys decided on where we are all going? >> i am trying to map this out. >> which one first. >> how many you can hit before you get home. >> yeah, on my way home. >> mcdonald's to me have the best, hands down. >> when they are hot. >> yeah, they change

dramatically when they cool down. >> just order them without the salt, and then they cook them fresh. >> i like to dip mine in ice cream. >> yeah, the sundae dip. >> maybe if there's a mcdonald's close to ghiradelli. >> i think we have to set up a tasting table. it's going to be a hot day, and the ice cream will be good, hot for the inland areas but not so much for san francisco. let's get a look at our microclimates. it's clear in doubling as we get started. it's a nice and mild start to the day. then we see the fog over san francisco. this is what is going to help keep the city cool over the next few days. also protecting it from that inland heat as we see that from our sutro tower camera. los gatos heading back to 87 degrees. 93 in morgan hill, and we were

hitting the low 90s yesterday and we will repeat that today. concord reaching a high of 92 degrees. 75 in oakland. you can see the range in temperatures over a short distance. half moon bay, 61. head over to palo alto, it will be 83 degrees. for san francisco, mostly 60s around the city. for the north bay reaching up to 96 in clearlake while we will mostly see upper 80s and low 90s there. for the weekend we have an excessive heat warning for these areas in pink. that starts tomorrow and continues through sunday and in some of these spots we could reach near 100 degrees and increase the risks of heat-related illnesses. next week the temperatures will go down, and we will be close to records in some spots, but looks like we will be above average but not necessarily setting a lot of records. we want to think about our pets

in the heat. make sure they have plenty of water and never leave them in a car and make sure you exercise them early or late so it's not too hot, and keep them paws off the asphalt as it could get up to 135 degrees. as the temperatures come down it will be nicer for the middle of next week. mike, you are looking at traffic flow out of the maze. >> looking pretty good. 24 all coming in. here's the berkeley curve as folks travel down westbound 880, and we are looking at the flow out of berkeley. the flow of traffic is right here, and we are seeing slowing eastbound 880. there's a weekend closure in that area, but not a closure now. highway 37 shows slowing as well

as highway 4. the commute just starting. back to you. >> thank you. it's 5:23 this morning. next on "today in the bay," how new advancements in artificial intelligence may transform your nextisit to the v

you can watch the full interview on the "today" show. that's at 7:00, right after here on "today in the bay." >> that would help early detection, possibly. >> nice. and no holiday ending in sight. at least not yet. lots of people are wondering what the next act contains? why there may be concrete answers coming up in just a matter of hours. an excessive heat warning in effect for much of the bay area. effect for much of the bay area. pg&e preparations to avoid power (warehouse ambience)

mountains. the hottest parts of the day, reduce the outdoor activities. some of the valley temperatures could hit 100 degrees, increasing the risk of heat relate illnesses. yesterday we had spots in the south county hitting the low 90s, and the interior parts of the east bay reaching the low 90s. still staying nice and mild for the coast. some of the temperatures get even hotter tomorrow, but we will be peaking on saturday where we could see widespread triple digits from livermore to martinez and in the upper 90s for much of the north bay. we will track the dangerous heat. i will have more in the microclimate forecast in a few minutes. pg&e teams are already busy preparing for this weekend's extreme heat in an effort to minimize power outages. >> yes, bob redell is live for

us in the east bay, and a lot of those air-conditioners will be working overtime. >> reporter: assuming you have an air-conditioner. as kari mentioned, an excessive heat warning in effect until sunday night. today will be in the mid-80s and over the weekend, the high 90s. in livermore, a place like that will be in the 100s. we did speak to pg&e asking how they were preparing for this weekend's hot weather. as you know, the electrical equipment can fail if the temperatures are too high. they said they are focusing on the east bay, and they are finding places with the greatest risks for power outages and placing crews in those areas. >> we don't anticipate widespread outages but we know there's a possibility of an

occasional outage with respect to maybe a transformer failing as a result of the severe heat. we're ready to respond. >> reporter: you might recall last summer, the south bay experienced outages because of the extreme heat. one, it's not going to be as hot as last summer, and they have upgraded their equipment. and one person tells us their house is like a sauna, and that's why they and others are heading to local hardware stores to stock up on fans and the portable a/c units. reporting from pleasanton, bob redell for "today in the bay." >> wow, that's awful. a sauna. can you imagine? >> our free nbc bay area app will be a great source for you this weekend, including the customized forecast. you can track down what is

happening in your neighborhood. happening today a suspected south bay firebug arrested this week and is expected to make his first appearance in court. on tuesday, the authorities arrested the 32-year-old daniel catano. he's responsible for as many as 30 fires. he's now being held on $1 million bail. bay area air quality regulators have now issued a notice of violation. this is to the martinez refinery company in the wake of the dust cloud this week. they have called it a by-product of the refining process and the lab is examining samples to determine if it's toxic with results expected back by tomorrow. the people who ended up with

dust in their homes and cars are encouraged to clean it with soap. let's take a live look for you at the state capitol where in a rare move governor gavin newsom is now intervening in legislation authored by a conservative lawmaker. according to "the chronicle," shannon grove authored a bill that died in the committee this week. it called for stronger sentences for child trafficking. the chronicle reports newsom called grove to discuss the issue. he's not going into specifics about possible next steps. developing right now, still no official word this morning from hollywood screen actors. this is who promised to go on strike at midnight last night if a new contract agreement could not be reached. the sag-aftra talks have

intensified in recent weeks, but are still coming up short with studios and streamers. yesterday the negotiation committee voted unanimously to recommend a strike. a vote by the national board is actually taking place this morning, and shortly after that union leaders plan to hold a news conference. a new national survey is shedding new light on making it in the bay. it's a wealth index for all u.s. counties, and bay area counties are among the wealthiest. not a surprise for some. the website, a smart asset, crunched the numbers. you can see where bay area counties ranked among all california counties, and san mateo first. the top california counties, including san francisco, santa clara and marin are also the top four nationally. alameda is ninth nationally, and contra costa is 18th. researchers looked at three matrix, investment income, property value and median income. happening today the san

francisco ferry building celebrates a big milestone. it turns 125 years old. happy birthday. it has been called the gateway to san francisco for its iconic clock tower. it started as one of the main transit points for public transportation in the early 1,900s. in the 1950s, space at the building was converted to office space and it has become a cultural marketplace. events get under way at 12:30 this afternoon, and they include live music and happy hour and free ice cream. we heard that earlier, and we are hearing it again. >> ice cream, ice cream, get your ice cream. and grab your running shoes to run off some of the ice cream you have been eating. >> napa and sonoma are holding races that are already sold-out. sonoma's rose' 5k takes place on

saturday, and napa's wine country 5k takes place this weekend. let's bring in meteorologist, kari hall, with the runners who are trying to get away from the heat. >> yeah, try and get that race done as early as you can, because as the day goes on it will be getting hotter. take a look at the temperatures and what we are expecting. saturday's forecast at the start of the race time at 8:00, it's going to be a nice comfortable 58 degrees. but if it takes you a couple hours, it has already warmed up 10 degrees and it will be 68 degrees, and you see the trend head into the 90s in the afternoon. it will be nice and cool in oakland this weekend. we have the a's game going on tomorrow evening, and it will be in the upper 60s at first pitch and 66 degrees by the end of the game. this weekend, mountain view will be celebrating with the obon

festival. it will be warm during the day in the 70s, but temperatures dropping off quickly into the upper 60s. all of the pet parents, get your furry little friends and go to the chase center this weekend. saturday it's going to be happening there, cooler temperatures and about 59 degrees at the time the event starts. sunshine as we go into late morning and the afternoon. traveling along the coast this weekend, warming up there as well in big sur with 70s and 80s. sunshine throughout the weekend. if you are going to palisades tahoe, it will be hot in that area, reaching into the low 90s for highs this weekend. mike, you have been looking at the bay bridge toll plaza. what is going on? >> volume is starting to build. we usually see the metering lights activated at 5:38. i am seeing slowing as folks are

approaching the plaza, and that's the typical sign. a typical pattern on highway 7, and no problem for the walnut creek interchange or 680 heading down towards the tri-valley. we're looking at overnight work that will have a closure once again, and this is the last night it will happen as you are going over towards treasure island. you cannot exit there, and you have to loop back in the toll plaza parking lot. overnight here as well, and still going on until 7:00 this morning. we have the closure from davis going west on the 880. davis heading over here towards do little where they are having more paving work going on over there. that might affect you if you are

heading towards the oakland airport. back to you. >> thanks, mike. the u.s. senate now marking a historic moment. coming up on "today in the bay," how vice president kamala harris is once again etching her name in history. plus, not your typical anniversary. one sacramento couple are celebrating, get this, 65 years of wedding bliss. they did it in a way you would not necessarily expect, so stick around because we will tell you how a popular fast-food chain

and it matches a record set 191 years ago by john c. calhoun. >> when it mattered most, vice president harris provided the divisive vote on some of the most historic bills of all times, to the inflation reduction act to so many federal judges who now preside and provide balance on the federal bench. she carried out her duties with supreme excellent. >> harris spent little time on the senate floor celebrating, and after schumer's congratulations, she left the chamber to tend to other business. what do we want to talk about? >> one bay area high schooler is getting prime minister recognition at last night's espy awards. what a big deal? >> yeah, last night he received the billie jean king youth

angry. >> commitment to each other is the starting point. always be committed. never think about divorce. you can work it through. >> the whole setup, the meal, the floor arrangement, it was all free, and they deserve it. >> they should. and ranch, and the nuggets. okay. i am just trying to see what the secret is. >> that orange sauce, that chick-fil-a sauce. >> she said the secret is not getting angry, it's because they are always full and not hungry. >> yeah, never get angry? how do you do that? i am not married, so i don't know. this heat may make you a little mad this weekend. we will try to cool things down, but san francisco is protected from the heat. take a look at the live view from our sutro tower camera. you are not seeing the sunrise yet because we have the layer of fog coating the city and keeping the temperatures from heating

up. let's head over to union city to see how your morning will shape up. upper 50s as you step out the door. we will be in the 60s throughout the lunchtime hour and eventually make it into the upper 70s there. as you make it into the inland valleys, it will be warmer today. very much like it was yesterday where the wind picks up in the afternoon, and it's kind of blowing a hot breeze. concord reaching 92 degrees, and 82 in napa. we are still in the low to mid-60s along the coastline and in half moon bay. not much of a warm-up in san francisco tomorrow, and oakland with 70s for the highs. the further away from the bay, the hotter the temperatures. santa rosa reaching 95. 103 in fairfield. even hotter on saturday. look at that number, 108 degrees in fairfield. 103 in san martin. that's dangerous heat. make sure you are taking it easy

and drinking lots of water and taking care of your pets as well. here's a look at kris sanchez's pet, cole. try to exercise early or late in the day, and give your pets access to fresh water, and never leave your pets in a car. the asphalt gets hot. if the air temperature is 87, the asphalt could be 143. the national weather service saying it could be up to 163 degrees on the hot asphalt this weekend, and it's hot enough to cook an egg, so don't cook your pet's paws. next week we will come down a few degrees. it will take a while. san francisco is going to stay nice and mild. a great weekend.

mike, you said it's a pretty smooth commute? >> it is. the metering lights have been on for about ten minutes, and the backup is just starting. we don't see any major problems. it's gradual slowing for 37 and highway 4. once you get to 242, pleasant hill smooth through the tri-valley. over here, typical slowing out of the altamont, and good speeds down vasco and no issues towards 580. back to you. >> thank you, mike. a new study is revealing data about the practice of skin lightning in people of color. 1 in 5 purchased bleaching products and some are not aware of the health risks. the products commonly contain steroids or chemicals like
