the problem here at this facility was it did not have a county health permit. >> right now at 5:00, contra

costa county spa now at the center of an investigation after two deaths are possibly linked to the business. the bigger investigation one county leader is calling for. plus, there's a looming deadline for president trump today. it's all over this recent indictment where he's accused of trying to overturn the 2020 election. what his attorneys must do by this afternoon. and city workers in the south bay could soon learn if they are going on strike. the big announcement coming in just a few hours. this is "today in the bay." thanks so much for joining us on this monday morning. i'm kris sanchez. >> i'm ginger conejero saab. marcus and laura are off. it is back to school. can you believe it? my goodness, already. thousands of students at oakland unified this morning, so good morning, hey, guys. welcome to your new monday. >> wake up. >> they're probably not up this early. >> the parents are. >> trying to make those lunches and getting all the supplies in

the backpack. i'm doing that as well. >> your kids are going back to school today. >> yeah, my mom is doing all that. >> the parents are looking at the roads and, of course, a very important forecast. it's still going to be hot today, the same heat like we had over the weekend will continue. it's just coming down a few degrees. as we get a live look outside in fremont, it is a mild 64 degrees. that's definitely warmer than where we usually start our mornings, and it is mostly clear. so our temperatures in the low to mid-60s for the next few hours. we won't see much in the way of that marine layer for the inland east bay because it's going to be another hot one. temperatures headed for 80 in oakland today, first day of school. it's going to be in the mid-90s for livermore, 93 in santa rosa and 91 in san martin. we'll talk about what's ahead coming up. mike, let's check in on the weekend freeway closure. >> we had the closure and we're

talking about antioch schools as well, where we often see signs of slowing on highway 4. that might be delayed as some parents see their kids off for the first day of school. the weekend closure, that did open up two lanes about 2:30 in the morning. since then, we've been seeing slowing, alternating green and yellow as they continue to move crews through the area. i believe the last of the crews has cleared the area. there was a little slowing heading toward the bridge. but everything looks smooth through that portion of the bay now. south bay along the peninsula as well, no delays. we'll track changes. back to you. the clock is ticking for former president donald trump's legal team to respond to the justice department. it is asking for a protective order against trump limiting what he can say publicly in the election probe case. trump's team now has until 2:00 today. "today in the bay"'s brie jackson says in the meantime, the fulton county courthouse prepares for another indictment coming out of georgia.

>> reporter: former president donald trump lashing out at special counsel jack smith over the weekend. >> if i wasn't, we wouldn't be under investigation by deranged jack smith. >> reporter: blasting the judge overseeing his 2020 election interference case, writing, there's no way i can get a fair trial with the judge assigned. that same judge set a 5:00 p.m. deadline for trump's legal team to respond to a request from the special counsel to block him from commenting publicly on parts of the case. all while trump's attorney and his critics speak out. >> the government, the biden administration would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that president trump did not believe that he had won the election. they will never be able to do that. >> he tried to steal the entire election and his lawyers up there are saying, oh, that's just a matter of him expressing his first amendment rights. that's deranged.

>> reporter: trump's former vice president turned 2024 gop rival, mike pence, says he has no plans to testify against him, but is not ruling it out. >> they were asking me to overturn the election. i had no right to overturn the election. i know we did our duty that day. >> reporter: other republican presidential candidates are also weighing in. >> my view is, yeah, i believe jurors can be fair, i believe in the american people and i believe in the fact that jurors will listen fairly and impartially. >> reporter: the next hearing is set for august 28th. in washington, brie jackson, nbc news. even with all the legal troubles, donald trump is still leading the polls as a republican candidate. but a fellow candidate, florida golf ron desantis, isn't worried. he spoke to the "today" show about his campaign. >> if the election is a referendum on joe biden's policies and the failures we've

seen, we will win the presidency and have a chance to turn the country around. if, on the other hand, the election is not about january 20th, 2025, but january 6th, 2021, or what document was left by the toilet at mar-a-lago, if it's a referendum on that, we are going to lose. >> coming up next, watch the whole exclusive interview with ron desantis. we're taking a live look at san jose city hall, where happening today workers may announce plans for a three-day strike. unions representing about 4,500 san jose employees last week held a strike authorization vote. the results of which they will announce later this morning. these employees include people like emergency dispatchers, the folks who work at the san jose airport, and happy hollow park and zoo workers. they are trying to negotiate a new contract after the last contract expired at the end of june. now, if the three-day strike is authorized, it's not clear when it would happen. the chp this morning still

providing few details about the latest apparent freeway shooting in the east bay. investigators say the targeted car pulled into san leandro's police department parking lot where officers discovered an occupant had been hit by gunfire. now, it all unfolded yesterday a little after 2:00 p.m. investigators now believe the shooting happened on eastbound interstate 580 near grand avenue. there is still no update on the victim's condition. one east bay leader is now calling for a widespread investigation into all unlicensed contra costa county spas in connection with an apparent deadly legionnaires outbreak. the spa in question is zen day spa, which is now shut down. health leaders may not know the test results for a few days, but a hottub there is being tied to to recent deaths of people affected with legionnaires' disease. investigators say both victims recently used the jacuzzi.

a third person later became infected but later recovered. the supervisor says the spa operated its jacuzzi without a county health permit and was never inspected. >> we're going to devices a strategy to look at how to investigate these types of massage parlors and spas that are out there that may not have a county health permit, because there's no way to know unless you actually go into the facility and inspect it. >> health experts say legionnaires is rarely transmitted person to person. most commonly people get it when the bacteria is in the water and inhailed. a new breakthrough as lawrence lab to create energy through nuclear fusion. the lab announced teams last week again triggered a reaction producing more energy than what it took to create. this time, the process also produced a greater amount of surplus energy.

the first time it happened was last december. the lab used nearly 200 lasers to produce the first-ever instance of nuclear fusion. at that time the energy department called it a major achievement in developing a new clean power source on an industrial scale. a step forward healing for indigenous people in rohnert park. u.s. secretary of the interior met with people yesterday as part of her road to healing tour. this is a series of meetings that allows indigenous survivors of the federal indian boarding school system and their descendants a chance to share stories. the goal is to create an oral history of the trauma the policies created across the country. california had 12 such boarding schools, some of which were open all the way until the 1970s. >> my ancestors and many of yours endured the horrors of the boarding school a simulation policies carried out by the same department that i now lead. this is the first time in history that a united states

cabinet secretary comes to the table with this shared trauma. that's not lost on me, and i'm determined to use my position for the good of all of the people. >> as she said, she is the first native american to serve in this role. this was the secretary's ninth stop on the nationwide tour. taking a live look outside at oakland, where a lot of kids, thousands, 34,000 kids, are expected to be headed back to school today. kris, can you imagine? it's like the summer just whizzed by for the students. >> our summer ends later this week. your summer ends now. >> yeah, so my kids are going back to school and it's going to be very warm in some spots. so as you're thinking about what should the kids wear today, it's definitely shorts weather. so we're starting out at 62 degrees, so maybe a light jacket for the start of the day. but for oakland unified school district, 60 degrees at the time you're dropping them off at

school or the bus is coming to pick them up. at pick-up time it will be in the upper 70s, so nice and comfortable with a light breeze and sunshine. still feeling like summer and it's going to be hot again for the inland valleys. concord reaching 97, and 91 in novato, and san francisco in the low 70s. we'll talk about a cooldown in our extended forecast in a few minutes. you might need to fill up on the way to work or school. >> fill up for gas because kids would like it if you ran out of gas on the way to school. we'll start with the south bay, let's go to spartan in san jose. we've got $4.39 at east taylor street. contra costa county, it's going to cost a bit more. cheapest is $4.47 at concord super stop. and your lucky spot in marin county is lucky service on sir francis drake, $4.59. the prices are coming up a bit. sorry, folks, but that's what you reported through gasbuddy.com. on the roadways, sensors are green and that's great, including the longer drive down

vasco road. 580 shows more volume. no surprises right here. the north bay also a smooth drive, san rafael all the way down to the golden gate bridge. in fact, you're at speed from santa rosa and areas north. we'll send it back to you. >> thanks, mike. are you losing sleep, which is kind of a dumb question on a momonday morning? you're not the only one. coming up on "today in the bay," we're going to take a look at how these hot summer nights are taking a toll on our good night's rest. and ironic news, like rain and ironic news, like rain on (warehouse ambience)

only at togo's good monday morning. right now at 5:14, as you get ready to step out the door in the east bay, it feels a little warmer. right now it's 64 degrees, all clear. we've had a hot weekend and the warm weather continues today. take a look at the trend. already by noon we're in the upper 70s and hayward we're headed for the mid-80s today. we'll get a look at our microclimates and cooler temperatures ahead in a few minutes. take a look the actual volume of traffic. dublin, live look. commute direction out of the altamont. north onto 680 there's construction going on. keep that in mind. we know the pattern for the rest of the bay. we'll see if there are exceptions coming up. good morning. very happy monday to you. wall street still digesting friday's jobs report, wondering what it means for inflation. we'll get new inflation numbers

on thursday. both amazon and cloud flare are contributing money and effort to a new program that dr. jill biden will announce today, to keep schools safer from cybercriminals and hackers. there will be an event at the white house later this morning. here is one of the more iconic things you will hear today. zoom wants its employees back at the office. this is video of people at zoom. we shot this video before the pandemic. they're not using zoom because they're together at the zoom office. business insider was the first to report zoom's push back to the office. a company spokesperson saying zoom wants the employees back at the office two days a week. former new york city mayor michael bloomberg saying the pandemic is over, excuses for allowing offices to sit empty should end, too. one employee we're seeing less of, the para legal, you've

seen movies where associates have to go through hundreds of boxes of banker boxes looking for that one piece of evidence. much of that can be done by computer. reuters just purchased a company called case text for $650 million. this weekend our podcast, sand hill road, will talk to rebecca lynn, who invested, reaped the benefits of the sale and made history in the process. >> you're one of the first investors, period, to exit out of a thing that most of us had really just heard about. >> no, no, no, i said thank you for that. so, yes, i am the first investor to exit out of this gpt4. >> $650 million. not bad. we run through the cases and see what it means for the legal profession. you can find our podcast on google play, spotify, amazon music. but it is doing in seconds what it estimates it would take thousands of lawyers an entire day working together to do. >> parents could really use that at the beginning of the school

year because there's a lot of paperwork that comes home. sign this, sign that. >> i will be there and i will be -- i'll look back at this moment. >> when you're a parent of an adult, now you just get mail that you hand to them and then three days later, you're, like, you know they want an answer to this letter, right? >> i remember those days. >> thanks a lot, scott. so are you, like me, having trouble going to bed at night because of the heat? millions of people are struggling to sleep this summer because it's so darn hot. studies have shown that higher nighttime temperatures increase wakefulness and reduce rem sleep. experts recommend sleeping in a room with the temperature set between 60 and 67 degrees. i knew i was right. if you can't do that, there are other ways to get better sleep

during the summer. experts say say a luke warm shower before bed, drink plenty of water during the day which can help our body regulate your temperature at night. eat lighter, especially for the last meal of the day. and don't be afraid to sleep in the coolest room of the house, even if that means you're not sleeping with your partner. >> that's why sometimes i would sleep on the couch. >> that's the reason. >> she was just hot. >> absolutely. >> under the collar. >> are people going to need to sleep on the couch, kari? i don't know if that's going to be an excuse. with the air-conditioning blasting, the other concern, the other side of that is, like, okay, the energy bill. >> that will keep you up, too. >> yeah, it's one of those mornings where you may be a little tired because it's hard to sleep on the first day of school, i find that to be the case. you're already thinking about all the stuff that you have to

do to change for the school year. so when we take a look at our temperatures, it's going to be another hot day. the east bay valleys headed again into the 90s and we'll have the clouds returning starting tomorrow, cooler temperatures, and we may have some tropical clouds moving in. we'll talk more about that. let's get you started for the first day of school. in antioch it's shorts weather for today as you're thinking about what the kids will wear because at drop-off time it's already mild at 73 degrees, but headed for the mid-90s today. it's going to be hot in the inland east bay. it's still going to be pretty warm in the north bay, reaching 93 in santa rosa. san francisco, low 70s, and 93 in los gatos and morgan hill. tomorrow, temperatures in many spots drop by almost 10 degrees and we're going to have the mild weather into the middle of the week as the high pressure that caused the high heat starts to move away. but then it comes right back by the end of the weekend into early next week. so take a look at concord, where

we are going to have a fairly mild week ahead, after today's hot temperatures. and then for saturday and sunday you start to see the trend heading back upward and we're going to see more clouds moving in, more humidity and there will be a tropical system to the south that could spread clouds our way and make it feel more muggy by thursday into friday. i'll have more details on that as we get a little closer. mike, you were looking at the bay bridge? >> in fact, i want to show folks a different view. this is from san francisco, you're looking at the commute coming into the city, around the bend and making the final approach. it's a steady stream of headlights. everything is moving nicely coming off of the toll plaza. no slowing on the incline just yet. it's 5:21 now. we should see a little build coming through the east bay. with school starting in antioch, we're still seeing highway 4 show that build, but sometimes we see areas like antioch and oakland see a little bit of a lag for the first week of school

as sometimes parents are able to, if they're able to, stay at home to see the kids off. we're watching for that change. over here there's a roadside fire at 680, no injuries or structures involved. but it's still on the grid. that's the south bay. very smooth easy drive right now coming out of san martin and no slowing shows up yet. we would typically see early slowing here feeding into morgan hill and finally building for the first burst in san jose. north bay, no problem, either. back to you. >> thanks, mike. next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> how can you get an insurance company to pay you every single penny you're owed after a disaster? a really boring home video. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. i'll relieve the boredom and show you how to record that video next. and as we head to break, take a look at this post kari hall shared over the weekend. she and her family enjoyed camping in yosemite, and they're smiling in the pictures.

i think they had a good time. you can find kari online. she always has theest weekend b

whenever a fire, a flood or any other issue damages your home, you will have to do a lot of paperwork. a big part of recovering is documenting what you lost so that your insurance policy pays

up. >> well, there's a step that you can actually take today, whether you rent or you own, to make the paperwork easier for tomorrow. consumer investigator chris chmura is here to walk us through how to do a home inventory. >> a home inventory is a list of everything you own and insure. if you ever have to file an insurance claim, you have to prove what you had before you get paid. having a home inventory can help. this is your not so secret weapon, a smartphone. use it to record a video. nothing fancy. just walk through every room and go slowly. make sure the clip records everything in each room. talk about what you see, show the brand names, and model numbers. speak about where you bought your stuff, when and how much you paid. your narration now might help jog your memory later on. open every drawer, every cubboard, every closet. >> just make sure you're not

sticking with the house, but so many people have stuff in their garage, too. >> when you're done, upload your video or photos to the cloud, in case your phone is destroyed during a disaster. a full inventory can save you time, money and heartache. an insurance industry survey found 80% of people in the last year didn't have an inventory or didn't update it. maybe that's because it's a bit of work. it doesn't have to be. >> there's a number of tools that are available, many through your insurance company probably for free. >> ask your agent about those tools and apps. after all, that's why you pay them a commission. one of the bay area's largest school districts returns to class in just a matter of hours. tips on how to get your kids back into the groove

where we usually start, after such a hot weekend. and that heat continues today. we're only coming down a few degrees compared to those weekend high temperatures. we're still headed for 97 in concord today, oakland reaching 80 degrees and low 90s for novato, san francisco reaching 71. we'll talk about the cooling trend that will come our way over the next few days. mike, you've been talking a lot about the weekend closure. has it cleared? >> yeah, a fist bump. thumbs up. i was worried about the heat. the pavement did cure right on schedule and they reopened just about 3:30 a couple lanes, i believe the last of those crews are cleared from the area heading north as you cross the bridge toward the carquinez in the north bay. a little slowing in vallejo, highway 37, and highway 4 through pittsburg and bay point, typical patterns. no surprises. there's another angle of the bay

bridge. the metering lights should be turned on in the next six or seven minutes. the entire bay is starting to wake up with no major problems. we have some kids concerned about what today is. back to you. >> thanks a lot. well, today is one of the days that the bay area's largest school district returns to class. around 34,000 students will be in the classroom for that first bell in just a few hours. >> "today in the bay"'s bob redell joins us live from outside skyline high school in oakland. the fall semester not expected to be interrupted like it was in the spring. >> reporter: correct. good morning to you, kris and ginger. you'll recall that last may in the spring oakland unified teachers went on strike for over a week, so students were out of class during that time. the teachers and district, of course, finally came to an agreement on higher salaries and so-called common good changes that includes a reparations task force for black students.

so today those 34,000 students will return to skyline high school behind me and the district's 76 other schools. now, back to school means the end of summer, which can be a bummer, because you know what it's like. you want to stay home if you're a kid. but you can help ease your family back to school by coming up with a plan. we talked about a child psychologist who suggests getting organized, from school supplies to school clothes, to limit and minimize the chaos, establish a routine so kids know what to expect in the morning, when they get home from school through bedtime and start easing into it a few days before school resumes. schedule family time, especially time to read together. >> reading books give you different character, how to express your feeling, how to engage with others, life skills. so all these things, if they learn at home, then it will be easier for them when they go to

school. >> reporter: that was a child psychologist who also recommends you communicate with your kids' teachers, if you have middle or high schoolers, make sure they're in the loop about those communications. reporting live in oakland, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> you don't want to spring it on them, i got in touch with your teachers. they don't appreciate that, the teenagers. authorities have not identified the person killed in a crash last night along interstate 880 and it happened around 9:30 last night near the northbound whipple road off-ramp. the chp says an suv and a sedan collided, though it's not clear who was at fault or if anyone else was injured. antioch leaders this morning are considering a new action in response to a chaotic late-night weekend sideshow that critically injured one innocent bystanders. it happened at antioch marina and the nearby parking lot. police say when officers arrived a driver took off with no lights

and crashed into a hide rant. a woman in her 50s suffered serious injuries. officers arrested a suspected driver a few blocks away. several others were injured in two other crashes. in one case, a car became submerged in the san joaquin river. leaders are now looking at potential solutions to make sure the same thing never happens at the marina again. >> an option of bringing in some raised parking delineators, for lack of a better term, but rubberized raised pieces that will actually be placed in the marina. they're looking at the feasibility, what the cost would be. >> city leaders also point out the police department is currently dealing with staffing issues tied to the ongoing police texting scandal. 5:36 right now. we are looking live at san francisco, where happening today migrants and immigration

advocates are set to finish their 40-mile march. they are protesting 40 years of government inaction on immigration reform, they say. the two groups left over the weekend, one from petaluma, one from san jose, and they will alive together at the federal building in san francisco. organizers are calling on lawmakers to update a 1929 law called the registry bill that would give 8 million immigrants a pathway to legal residency. if this is passed, it would be the most significant immigration related legislation since 1986. also today, san francisco cabbies plan to protest the expansion of self-driving taxis. organizers last night tried to get the word out to taxi drivers at sfo. california public utilities commission will meet starting this morning to consider approving new applications for cruise and waymo now operating in the city.

supporters say it would be a boost for ai technology. but drivers are concerned about the threat the vehicles pose not just to public safety. >> it's a real threat to the livelihood of the driver, not only taxi drivers, certainly uber and lyft drivers. eventually, i think, bus drivers. >> those new applications were put on the back burner earlier this summer after san francisco's fire and police departments raised concerns. first responders say malfunctioning robotaxis have led to unexpected road blocks and traffic hazards. 5:37 now. and looking live at the golden gate bridge where we can see the kind of conditions that are cool at this time of the day. kari, it's not going to be cool for everybody. >> right. it's going to be our microclimates again and wide-ranging temperatures from the coast to the inland areas. we're headed for the 90s again

for much of the south bay. gilroy hitting 95 degrees today. as we move toward the east bay, antioch 99, so we're very close to 100 degrees. it's going to be warm for fremont, reaching the upper 80s. in san mateo, expect a high of 77 while palo alto will reach a high of 87. in san francisco, upper 60s for the downtown and mission district areas and reaching 90 in sonoma and 100 in clear lake. a few triple digits. tomorrow we'll head for cooler temperatures and we'll talk more about that in a few minutes. mike, you saw something new on the peninsula. >> it popped up as we were giving the last report. it's here on highway 101. the note is that is one lane blocked. the slow lane is possibly blocked from the latest report just as you're traveling past whipple, shy of 92. there's no slowing over the last few. we'll track that. also, not far from here, woodside we have one-way traffic control for highway 84,

different than we've had in weeks past. you cannot take the bike path up here, just outside petaluma, this will be having a lot of work done in the area. there's an alternate bike path that will add time and exertion. but, again, if you're not riding a bike, you're okay, highway 101 through the area, no problem. highway 37 shows a little build and so does the carquinez bridge and highway 4. those are the build we're seeing right on pattern. at the bay bridge itself, the metering lights have been activated. back to you. >> thanks a lot, mike. two-time reigning soccer champs are going home empty handed and heartbroken. still ahead, the very sudden and disappointing end for team usa down under. president biden ending a week-long vacation. he's back on the campaign trail and the latest on the trump criminal charges. also, living with debt. the surprising amount of people who make more than six figures

that are dealing with debt, and why they are

good monday morning. the time is 5:42 right now. let's get a look at our day planner for san jose. it's been hot over the weekend and it's still going to be warm this afternoon. so get in those outdoor activities, those walks and whatever you need to do early. we will have hot temperatures for today, but then a cooldown in our forecast.

we'll talk about that coming up. we're looking toward oakland, 880 southbound, those headlights are moving very smoothly. no problem. your commute should start to build a bit through san leandro. we'll check on the bay bridge, because those metering lights have been activated. president biden has wrapped up his vacation. he will be back on the campaign trail later today. >> scott mcgrew, he's starting out in the key state of arizona. >> key state, yeah. good morning to you. a state that was key to his win in the 2020 election. from there to new mexico, then up to utah. utah is an interesting choice. not only did it vote for trump, more utahans voted to re-elect trump in 2020 than voted for him the first time, making him president in 2016. biden's mission is to spread the word on the economy and that the economy is doing well. bidenomics, a term coined by his critics as a criticism, but he's adopted it as the economic numbers continue in his favor.

though he can't convince americans that unemployment is at lows we haven't seen since the '60s, inflation down to a third of what it was. but a recent cnn poll shows 68% of americans think economic conditions are actually getting worse, just 32% say it's getting better. other news, they're blocking off traffic at a fulton county courthouse in atlanta, preparing for something big. judges have been asked to cut back on their schedule and no one has said specifically what's happening, but we presume it's going to be the state of georgia indicting former president trump on charges of election interference. the united states, of course, indicted trump on similar charges last week. since that indictment, trump has gone online to post, if you go after me, i'm coming after you, which could be interpreted as a threat to prosecutors, witnesses and prospective members of the jury. after the prosecution asked that trump be barred from making

further comment on the case, the judge gave trump's lawyers until 2:00 today california time to respond. trump, by the way, about 20 minutes ago, went back online to call that judge who will be making that decision unfair. here is one of trump's lawyers yesterday on nbc's "meet the press." >> mr. trump had every right to petition government and enforce his first amendment rights. that's why this indictment is an attack on the first amendment. the government, the biden administration would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that president trump did not believe that he had won the election. they will never be able to do that, and that's why this prosecution is so ill-conceived. >> except that's not the case according to the indictment, which acknowledges trump had the right to object to election results, both factually or even falsely, says the charging document. it's not what he's been accused of. trump's attorney was on all the sunday morning shows, what washington calls doing the full

ginsberg. presidential candidate and republican governor ron desantis will be on the "today" show today comin upn just a few hours. >> i would much rather be underestimated. when they underestimate you, that's when we're able to strike. and i think it's been something that, when people see that you're willing to show up and work, that is not something that every candidate is willing to do, and we are doing it, we're going to earn the nomination and we're going to get the job done. >> governor desantis sits down with dasha burns coming up at 7:00. >> thank you, scott. new this morning, more than 50 million americans have been in credit card debt for at least a year. a new report from bank rate finds nearly raf of those people are carrying debt month to month, and about three-quarters of card holders with credit card debt and annual household incomes of $100,000 have been in debt for at least a year. the most common reasons, unexpected and emergency

expenses such as medical bills or home repairs, day-to-day expenses like groceries and child care, retail purchases or vacation, and entertainment expenses. you probably know already, but for team usa it is game over down under. >> not the news we were hoping for. the u.s. women's team made a surprisingly early exit at the world cup, meaning they will not become three-time world champions. for the first time in history, the u.s. women lost in the round of 16, and it all came down to penalty kicks after a scoreless tie with sweden. now, when a u.s. kick struck the post, sweden then scored the game winner by mere centimeters, meaning an unexpected end for two american legends. >> you know, i know it's the end and that's sad, but i loved playing for this team and playing for this country, and, yeah, it's been an honor. >> just devastated. it feels like a bad dream, and, i don't know, the team put

everything out there tonight. i feel like we dominated. but it doesn't matter. >> megan rapinoe has already called this her last world cup. alex morgan, a little less certain, but all of it made for a long night at san jose's paypal park. that's where fans gathered for a viewing party at 2:00 a.m. yesterday. look at all those people. it may have turned into a sleepless nigor fans wondering what might have been. >> oh, man. >> that's a tough one. well, at the very least, at least fans -- i don't know, it seemed like they were somewhat comfortable weather-wise. maybe raining tears. >> we are going to have another hot day, and for the inland valleys those temperatures ramp up quickly. let's head to walnut creek to see our day planner where we go from 70 degrees in the morning to 80 degrees at 10:00 and at noon 87. temperatures ramp up quickly.

we're headed back to the low to mid-90s in the inland east bay. and it's always like during the middle of the day when you see people out walking and you're just, like, hey, that pavement is hot. think about to take your dogs out walking and the time of day. now, if the air temperature is at 87, the asphalt is at 143 degrees. so it can burn those pets' paws. be mindful of that as you're making plans for your day. try to get the outdoor walk out early in the morning. we're headed back to the 90s for the inland valleys, but we do have some cooler temperatures ahead. take a look at tomorrow. much lower. we're going from 60s near the coast to low 80s for the inland east bay down to the south county. wednesday will also be another mild day. the high pressure that caused the weekend's heat is moving away, but we will see it returning by the end of the weekend into early next week. so we will get several days of a break. take a look at santa rosa and

what to expect. once again, hot today. still reaching into the low 90s. we'll be in the 70s from tomorrow through the end of the week. that's going to be a nice break. then heating up a little more for the weekend but still not too bad. we are going to see some spots in the inland areas reaching into the low 90s. today we're headed for the mid-90s. then looking at san francisco, it's going to be nice and cool. we may not see as much in the way of the fog today, but it will return tomorrow, bringing those temperatures down. we'll start out the day with mist and drizzle, reaching into the mid to upper 60s the rest of the week. mike, you're seeing a backup at the bay bridge. >> which is not a surprise. we are looking at that because last time we saw the metering lights hadn't really affected our view. it's a standard flow, hov lanes indicating that everything should be moving smoothly past the toll plaza. along the incline things start to slow down.

highway 37 we have more cars. same thing for highway 4. a smooth flow, nothing unexpected. there's the san leandro slowing toward hayward for southbound 880. the disabled vehicle still reported on the peninsula of north 101 at ralston. plenty of space on the peninsula. there's one incident off of 205 out of tracee, a slower drive developing for vasco. not yet a half hour from marsh creek road. back to you. happening now, good news over in the east bay. the algae bloom found last week may not be growing as fast as last year. a bay area naturalist is tracking this year's bloom and says they will continue testing the water in the next couple of weeks. last year's algae bloom killed hundreds of fish in the east bay and in oakland's lake merritt. that was the first sizable bloom with widespread impacts. surf's up for some adorable pups. still ahead, check out what's

♪♪ ♪ everybody's gone surfing ♪ welcome back. trending this morning, as we hit the dog days of summer, it looks like literally everybody has gone surfing, including those furry friends, hanging 20 in pacifica over the weekend. that's where the world dog surfing championship returned saturday to linda mar beach. thousands of people gathered to watch those four-legged surf stars hit the waves. among the winners was rosy, a pooch from santa cruz that's been surfing since she was 9 months old. her owner says she go out at

least four days a week. rosy took first place in the tandem surfing category. >> she looks thrilled. >> look at the mohawk and glasses. >> we hear the surf was a little ruff. >> you're barking up the wrong tree. maybe we'll soon learn once and for all the if the loch ness monster really exists. it's being called the largest search for the elusive creature taking shape in scotland. it has been a worldwide story for almost 100 years, and later this month teams will be using drones and new technology to search for the loch ness monster, like we've never searched before. if you're free the weekend of august 26th and 27th, they're calling for volunteers. so bring your technology and your binoculars and your scuba gear. >> if we're not here at work on the 26th and 27th, we might have

gone there, right? >> scotland, that would be great. >> as long as it doesn't eat you. if you want to do some other checking out, you can do that at the grocery store. the self check out, you love it or hate it. one major super chain is experimenting with a self-checkout system, meaning no human cashiers at all in their stores. it's kroger's, which just converted a store in franklin, tennessee, to self-checkout, only. walmart and dollar general are experimenting with non-staffed registers. one estimate says 95% of stores have some form of self-checkout. some argue here faster but others argue they're too complicated for customers. i know, kris, you don't care for self-checkout. >> i like talking to my people.

fun fact, my first job was at kroger growing up. i was 13 when i got my first job. you bag and then you bring in the carts in all kinds of weather. >> are you for this? because if you self-checkout, you don't have a bagger. >> sometimes you would like a little, you know, interaction, assistance. sometimes i'm juggling the kids and it's a lot when you're trying to do self-checkout. >> then they touch the scale and you've got to call somebody over. don't touch the scale. >> 19 pounds of peaches. >> i think they scanned the same thing three times. it's so interesting, because so many grocery stores, because there have been a lot of thefts, they've gone away with the self-checkout. little back anforth. >> interestin on the balance beams and maybe othe gymnastics tools or equipment, the g.o.a.t. is back on the gymnastics floor.

check this out. [ cheers and applause ] >> oh, yeah. simone biles competed at the u.s. gymnastics open this weekend, cementing her return to competition following a two-year hiatus. biles won the all-around title, beating last year's winner by a full five points. she also received the event's highest scores on the vault, balance beam, and on the floor. that's my favorite. following the tokyo olympic games, biles stepped back from competing to focus on her mental health. >> my main goal was this and then championships, and then after that we'll look to world and see. but so far, it's heading in the right direction. >> during her time off, the world's most decorated gymnast also got married and was awarded the presidential medal of freedom. >> it's good to see her. she looks lighter. >> absolutely. >> she doesn't have the weight of the world on her shoulders. >> we'll be
