eyes across san francisco. transamerica pyramid all the way to the golden gate bridge. a lovely day in the city yesterday. and something tells me it will be beautiful again today. thank you so much for starting your saturday morning with us. i'm kira klapper cinthia pimentel has a quick look at our microclimate forecast and we all enjoyed that slight cooldown yesterday. i mean, ever so slight but so slight. and that view of the city is gorgeous. but people there have just been baking this week with hot temperatures and that's going to continue for our weekend. we are also tracking the red flag warning it is fire season down here in the santa cruz mountains. the east bay hills, and down into the san jose range. as well. that heat is going to amplify for today. so all of that pollution that you put out is going to sit close to the surface. we are under a spare the air alert day

for today. our temperatures ranging from the 90s inner bay to triple digits. and that will continue for our sunday plan. so might have to tweak those a little bit. but the only way out is through. there is relief on the way, and i'll be happy to talk about that coming up in a few minutes. kira back to you. we like that word relief. cynthia. thanks. if you're heading to the 49ers game tomorrow, it has the potential to be the hottest 49ers game ever in the team's decade at levi's stadium. head coach kyle shanahan asked the nfl if the niners could wear their all white uniforms, but he was denied a reminder for all game goers. wear your sunscreen, your hats, your sunglasses and stay hydrated, one for one. and there is a lot to do across the bay area this weekend, including the hardly strictly bluegrass festival in golden gate park. you can track the heat with our free nbc bay area app. just point your phone's camera at the qr code on your screen. it is free to download. with the scorching heat over the last

week, wildfires are an even bigger concern for firefighters. this in lake county, north of napa county, a vegetation fire has quickly grown. the glen haven fire ignited just before noon yesterday. it's burned 400 acres so far. evacuations are underway around clear lake. two homes have been destroyed by the glen haven fire, and more than 2000 structures, including homes and businesses, are in harm's way. we have new video of the flames. the fire reportedly started on a hillside near the lake. in just four hours. it grew to more than 300 acres thanks to those hot, dry and windy conditions. fortunately, crews were able to stop forward progress of the flames just before ten last night. overnigh, 180 firefighters have been battling the blaze and on the ground and in the air, cal fire says the fight will continue nonstop this weekend. until that fire is under control. late in

the year in october, which typically we experience some high wind conditions and all the fuels are extra dry. given the fact that we're under a red flag warnings, it means that we have the perfect recipe for a fire to be able to spread rapidly. cal fire now says the fire is 20% contained. the cause is still under investigation. now to a traffic alert for commuters heading into san francisco. it's a full weekend closure of the central freeway connector ramp. it will be closed all weekend. that's that portion of northbound 101 that goes from the freeway and ends at market street in san francisco. the map on your screen shows the closure. caltrans crews are making emergency repairs to the freeway barrier rails. all lanes of the connector ramp closed at ten last night, and will reopen in time for the monday morning commute. the detour is at the seventh street offramp. happening right now the uc berkeley campus is buzzing today

as the cal bears get ready to take on the miami hurricanes tonight in front of a nationally televised audience. in fact, it's the first home game of the season for the cal bears football team, with a rally taking place on campus yesterday at sproul plaza to get those students pumped up. the game is getting even more attention with espn college game day broadcasting live from berkeley for the very first time, with the winds piling up this year. cal fans are making their presence felt online with the help of a hashtag known as the algorithm. we spoke with the cal student who made that cal algorithm go viral, posting a meme following the auburn winds saying you just lost to the woke agenda. when i made that, it was basically a way not to not to try to define the politics of our entire fan base, because obviously i don't want to do that. but i saw it as an opportunity to kind of embrace the term and form our own relationship with it. last night

that meme creator there, goodman and his self-proclaimed meme council passed out game day signs to fans to keep the algorithm momentum going. the hope is that the buzz online will be on full display tonight inside memorial stadium. okay, we're going to take a big turn now to concern and dismay in san jose allegations against a city council member accused of sexual misconduct. we first told you about this thursday night, police sources confirmed with us that officers detained councilman omar torres, serving him with a warrant, seizing his phone and other electronics. a source involved in the investigation revealed it involves allegations that torres committed sexual misconduct with a minor and solicited inappropriate pictures of minors. torres also is being investigated for an incident that allegedly occurred while he was attending the democratic national convention in chicago. san jose mayor matt mahan briefly addressed the situation.

all i'm able to say at this time is that this is an ongoing investigation, and we have to let our detectives do their jobs. i know our police department is working incredibly hard to find the truth. torres released a written statement. in it, he says the case is based on misinformation provided to the police by someone. he filed a complaint against. he claims that person was stalking him and trying to extort him. torres maintains he did nothing wrong. if you can believe it, we are reaching one year since the october 7th hamas attack against israel, and now an alert from the fbi says the anniversary could lead to violence aimed at large gatherings. to be clear, there is no credible threat to the bay area at this time, but it comes as many groups have already planned events to mark the day. today in the bay's gia vang is in san francisco with the latest. reporter. nearly a year later and the fighting

between israel and hamas hasn't stopped with more death imminent. more than 1200 have been killed in israel since hamas attacked on october 7th, and in palestine, a soaring death toll of more than 40,000. 16 year old bay area palestinian zena elkarra has her own family toll. i know it's over 100, and just when it first happened, i think it just was first shock, just like. and then fear and constant. just fear of like who's alive, who's even still alive. the israel-hamas war has triggered a widening regional conflict now into lebanon, and emotions ever present as many communities grapple with how to mark the one year anniversary. but it comes with an alert from the fbi, the agency saying large gatherings present attractive targets for violent attacks or for hoax threats, and someone might use the anniversary as an opportunity. jewish americans are scared, and understandably so. the american jewish

committee says several gatherings are planned starting this weekend in the bay area, as they continue to think about the hostages still in hamas's grip. it's a sad fact of life for jews in america and around the world that safety and security has to be part of your holiday preparations or any time that you come together to gather. palestinian led groups are planning an international day of action on sunday in san francisco, with a continued call for a ceasefire and arms embargo against israel. free, free, free palestine. they say throughout the year of protests, marching and more, they've been keeping our community safe, keeping our our attendees safe at these actions. and we're going to do what we've been doing. fbi statistics show both an increase in anti-semitic and anti-arab hate crimes before the coming days. events, the san francisco fbi office said in a statement. there was no specific and credible threat to the bay area at this time. gia vang today in the bay. now to an update on a story we've been covering the

last couple of days. the debate is back on. on wednesday, we were scheduled to air a congressional debate live right here on nbc bay area, but it was canceled. assemblyman evan low and former san jose mayor sam liccardo are running to replace longtime peninsula congresswoman anna eshoo. but early on wednesday morning, liccardo's campaign reached out to us, saying the former mayor could not make it to the debate because of laryngitis. the debate is now rescheduled for next friday. that's a week from yesterday. our raj mathai will be moderating. you can watch it live right here on nbc bay area at 7 p.m. again, that's october 11th. or watch it whenever it fits into your schedule. you'll be able to stream it on our website and on our nbc bay area youtube channel. just about ten past the hour. we have much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up, raising awareness about mental illness. coming up, we'll tell you about an event and how you can take part. it's aimed at eliminating the stigma and raising critical funding.

plus, we continue to celebrate hispanic heritage as we shine a light on some south bay business owners working to move the bay area forward

a just a beautiful way to start the day. we all enjoyed a slight cooldown yesterday while the heat is going to ramp back up.

cinthia pimentel has your full microclimate forecast in just a few minutes, but first, we're now going to take a live look at sfo this morning where a bay area family returned from lebanon after being stuck there as fighting between israel and hezbollah continues to intensify, the u.s. government arranged flights to help get hundreds of americans out of that war zone. today, in the bay's jocelyn moran spoke with a family as they returned home and a bay area doctor as he took off to go help. san mateo native jonathan sagen is back home in the bay area, feeling relieved to finally make it back home. he and his parents had been in lebanon visiting family when israel began its ground invasion into lebanon. we talked with jonathan earlier this week when his flights were getting canceled. then, later in the week, he and his family were able to leave after the u.s. embassy reached out about a flight. he shared these videos with us, showing what it looked like outside as his plane took off from the lebanese capital. you could see the smoke and the

fires right next to the airport, so it was scary. meanwhile, also at sfo, doctor mohammad subhi is leaving the bay area to go to lebanon. i reached out to several ngos to see how it can be of assistance, and luckily you know, yesterday i got the green light to be able to enter and i'm going in along with six other doctors and surgeons. israel carried out a series of airstrikes friday in beirut targeting hezbollah's presumed new leader, as he was meeting with other senior militants. another airstrike cut off a key road that thousands of people were using to cross safely into syria. local officials say israel's bombardment has displaced more than a million people and killed more than 2000 people. this is doctor sub's third medical mission to the middle east. in recent months, he's been to gaza twice on medical missions. as human beings, we should care about what our fellow human beings are experiencing abroad, and that is something that was always taught to me at a young age by my parents, but also by many of my

mentors, emergency doctors, because as e.r. doctors, we're there to help people during their most difficult times. and it doesn't matter who you are, he says. it's not easy leaving his wife and kids, but his wife tells us it's part of their family values to help others. that's what i what i think about when, especially when it gets tough, especially when it gets exhausting, is to remind myself that we're not here just for ourselves, but we're here for everyone. at sfo, jocelyn moran, nbc, bay area news. this week marks mental health awareness week, and one group is helping raise awareness and money. the national alliance on mental illness or nami, will hold a special event today. it calls its nami walk. the executive director of the santa clara county chapter calls it a critical event on many levels. this is one of the most important community events for raising awareness about mental health and reducing stigma, and it is also a very significant fundraiser that helps us provide

our programs free of charge to those in need. the event is the day of celebration support community building with people walking to show solidarity with those affected with mental illness. you can go to nami walks.org and find a walk in your area. or if you'd like to find more ways to help raise awareness and find some resources that are available. that's on nami walks.org. october is breast cancer awareness month and there is a research fundraising effort which also doubles as a big party. it's making its return to san francisco this weekend after a six year hiatus. the event is called beats for boobs. it last held its once annual event back in 2018. in 13 years, it's raised $330,000 for breast cancer research. founder giuliana kartchner took a break

to lead national fundraising efforts for a foundation in washington, dc. but beats for boobs make its return today. she says volunteers and some longtime friends involved in the local effort jumped at the chance to get the event going again. i'd say 30 people immediately said, i'm in, i'm in, i'm in. and that community movement, it just validated that this was the time to bring it back to san francisco. there will be an auction, food vendor, disco, music all there for the fundraiser. the party kicks off at the great northern. that's in san francisco along utah street. tickets are still available. they're about $60 each. to learn more, go to beats for boobs.org. you can also make a tax deductible donation. as we continue to celebrate hispanic heritage month here on nbc. bay area. today, we are highlighting a latina owned collective called suenos, which is spanish for

dreams. you can find it in downtown san jose. it's a local shop home to three different small businesses under one roof. la paloma imports casitas contreras and maggie cierra candles. the latina mothers came together wanting to own a storefront and realize that with rents so high in san jose coming together and putting their businesses all in one place could make their dreams come true. our own kris sanchez spoke with two of those women about suenos, and how that dream came to reality. i thought about us having a dream, and this was our dream, you know, to have a storefront. the experience that you are able to have when you come into suenos, you're able to come in and create your own candle. you're able to come in and see artesanias from mexico that maybe brought you back to your childhood. you're also able to come in and shop local from 25 overs over 25. small businesses. so just having that

unique experience and suenos will be hosting a free event coming up on november 1st for dia de los muertos. that's at 2 p.m. happening today. oktoberfest returns to oakland this weekend. the festival will be hosted today and tomorrow by the dimond improvement association. art, food, craft beers and live music. it's a good way to come out and support oakland. the festival starts at 11 p.m. 11 a.m. pardon me today and 10 a.m. tomorrow. now to the annual hardly strictly bluegrass festival. it is back in san francisco. if you don't know, it's a free three day music festival in golden gate park and it ends tomorrow. it includes more than 70 performers over six stages. that includes well-known acts like patti smith, emmylou harris, one of my favorites, andrew bird, will be performing. hope you can go check it out.

free music. who wouldn't love that in san francisco? in san francisco and gorgeous, gorgeous weather for once in golden gate park. very gorgeous, but lots of people there. of course, just dealing with the heat that, you know, were very, very hot this week. and that is and so many of us don't have ac and that's going to continue. so if you can carpool there that is a good idea. we are looking at another spare the air alert day around the bay area as our sea breeze has been turned off and all of that amplified heat is bringing all of that pollution closer to the surface. so just another day to stay inside, watch your health and watch that heat as we have another day extending that heat warning into this afternoon and tomorrow as those temperatures flirt with the one hundreds in cupertino. very toasty for the east san jose foothills and will continue to look at some scorching heat for gilroy. 100 for the 90s for the east bay shoreline. 95 in hayward to that triple digit

heat that is just relentless through parts of antioch and in livermore 102, we continue with a very warm peninsula from the low 80s to the daly city 90, in palo alto for the game. there to the beaches that are going to be packed this weekend with people looking to escape the heat. we've got 80s continuing from half moon bay into san francisco. if you're going up to wine country, please find shade and please drink water 101 for napa today, 100 in santa rosa. we continue with the 90s for mill valley and the bay area coastline, continuing with those mid 80s for point reyes. i mentioned that the games are going to be very hot. we kick it off with stanford later on this afternoon, going into the 90s there. so please bring the hats, drink lots of water and wear the loose clothing we take it down into the south bay. look at that. we're going to be coming off of a very hot day down here in san jose. 98 for kickoff. there slightly cooler as we go on into the evening time. now this will be wrapped up by the university of miami and cal with

some 70s there, but still very, very warm. after a long day there at cal i can bring some relief as we go on into monday, we're going to bring down those temperatures. we are watching for a very hot day, not only today. tomorrow is game day. that heat could stretch into monday, but we bring it back into the 90s and 80s there. that is finally a relief as we go through this week. starting on tuesday. san francisco. it is another scorcher, so please just take care of yourselves. and as lester holt says, each other. yes. love that man. so hot. all right, cynthia, thanks so much. just shy of 23 past the hour. we have much more ahead on today in the bay coming up. not your typical day care. they are caring for the young and the old at this south bay activi

something magical. our garvin thomas has the story in this morning's bay area. proud. when the hearts and minds activity center opened its doors 30 years ago. it was intended to be just a daycare facility for adults with dementia, but with many young mothers working there, an on site co-op daycare was organized for the staff's

children. andrea ready and rosa manion was hired to run that separate part of the facility, but not separate enough. it turned out the seniors, knowing that we had a room for children in there and they will always come and pick in the room and they will hear the kids playing rai. and it was in those brief interactions that rosa saw the beginnings of something special. there's a magic going on. oh, wow. when the two generations interact together. show me where. so the staff began to schedule opportunities for the children and the adults to interact. it worked so well that now every morning at 1030, at hearts and minds, the children and the grandparents, as they call them, get together for crafts, dancing, anything that might be fun for both ages. e-i-e-i-o. but it has turned into so much more than fun. staff at hearts and minds has seen firsthand how it benefits the adults with dementia, brings

them joy. also a sense of purpose. maria nicola. this is hearts and minds ceo. people may not realize it, but once you cannot do the things you used to be able to do, even simple task, it it creates a depression because people think, why am i here? what am i doing? what's my purpose? well, when we put the kids together with the seniors, it brings that back. they don't remember every day that they're going to activities that they d. but they do remember that there are kids in here. and they do remember that i am the grandpa who is going to be in charge of reading a book. i'm the grandma who is going to be in charge of leading a craft. that part of the program is so strong for the seniors that it it motivates them to be here. but it is not just the adults who benefit. these activities are many of the children's favorite part of the day. many who may not get to see their own grandparents often or even interact with older people.

and that's the thing for our kids. they always leave here with a higher level of empathy and social skills. it's something that i wish my kids had the opportunity to participate in. it changes the lives of seniors and children. i believe it changed m [vampire sniff,sniff]

is a live look outside. wow. from our emeryville camera, it's clear across the bay to the

transamerica pyramid, salesforce tower, and a golden sunrise over the city by the bay. thank you so much for starting it with us. i'm kira klapper cinthia pimentel has a peek at our microclimate forecast is beautiful, but it's hot. it is hot. we are into day six of the heat in the bay area, and we're going to really bring up those temperatures this weekend once again. so let's take a look at some of our highs for today. up in santa rosa 100 degrees 102. in concord, 89 in san francisco. we are sitting well above average in the city, 101 to livermore and 99 in san jose. there could be some records broken as we go on and track. day six of this heat. not the day for you to be doing any lawn work or excessive exercise outside. now, speaking of exercise, we're going to watch levi's for football tomorrow as it still remains very hot and dry, not only for the players,

but you two going to the game. look at that trending cooler. we'll talk about that relief that's on the way in just a few minutes. but there is a lot going on around the bay area with this heat. with events you can track the heat. neighborhood by neighborhood in our free nbc bay area app. just point your phone's camera right there at the qr code on your screen. it's free to download from the app store, not only heat, but of course, when the rain arrives. we also have our own storm ranger doppler radar available for you to kira, and the rain would be great right about now. thanks, cynthia. with that scorching heat over the last week. wildfires, of course, are even bigger concern for firefighters in lake county. north of napa county, a vegetation fire has quickly grown. it's called the glen haven fire. it ignited just before noon yesterday. it has burned 400 acres so far. hundreds of people are evacuate. two homes have been destroyed so far, more than 2400 structures are still in harm's way. we have

video of the fire overnight. it ignited again yesterday as i mentioned, on a hillside, when fire crews responded, it was just about 1 or 2 acres large, but within four hours had grown to more than 300 acres because of those hot, dry and windy conditions. fortunately, just before 10 p.m, firefighters were able to stop that forward progress. they have been battling the blaze through the night on the air and on the ground and by the air. it will continue nonstop all weekend until they get that fire under control late in the year in october, which typically we experience some high wind conditions and all the fuels are extra dry. given the fact that we're under a red flag warnings, it means that we have the perfect recipe for a fire to be able to spread rapidly. cal fire says the fire is now 20% contained. the cause is still under investigation. now to a traffic alert for commuters heading into san francisco this

weekend. it is a full weekend closure of the central freeway connector ramp. that's that portion of northbound 101 that goes from the freeway and ends at market street in san francisco. you can see the map on your screen that shows that complete closure. caltrans crews are making emergency repairs to the freeway barrier rails. all lanes of the connector ramp are closed from last night until the monday morning. commute will be open by 5 a.m. the detour will be at the seventh street offram. now to governor gavin newsom giving bay area cities a funding boost to help clear homeless encampments. the governor has approved nearly $131 million to be given to 18 cities across california. those cities include san francisco, san jose, berkeley and antioch. the goal is to move the unhoused out of encampments and into transitional housing. the governor says that it will take

a team effort between the state and the cities to fully address the homeless crisis. the state vision is realized at the local level. localism is determinative in terms of our success, and the state's efforts only matters as far as local government participates in partnership with the state to advance our collective goals. this comes three months after governor newsom issued an executive order requiring state agencies to clear encampments on state land. he also warned cities and counties to clear encampments in their communities or lose federal funding starting next year. now to a story you'll see only on nbc bay area, the san mateo county sheriff is under fire from the county administration and her own sheriff's union. we've been reporting claims of unfair labor practices and reports that the sheriff's civilian chief of staff has been harassing

employees. now, the sheriff is firing back. in an exclusive interview, sheriff christina corpus sits down with nbc bay area's damian trujillo. why did you decide to sit down with us to talk about this? because i think i needed to tell my story. from her office, sheriff christina corpus opened up about her days as a young deputy working the jails. she says she faced harassment from the start. during a conversation with the superior. and he said, well, to be honest with you, you look like you should be barefoot and pregnant. and in the kitchen. and so i knew at that point that i was not going to have an easy road. two decades later, corpus beat a popular incumbent to become san mateo county's top cop. but corpus contends the harassment continued, this time by the county administrator, who she claims asked her on day one if she was dating any county employee. and i would ask the administrator, would you ask that of a male sheriff? has that question ever been posed to a

male sheriff? we reached out to the office of the county administrator but have not heard back. corpus is also facing vocal pushback from the sheriff's department union, which issued a vote of no confidence against her chief of staff, claiming harassment and other allegations. the internal fight has become so public that county supervisors hired retired judge ladoris cordell to investigate all the claims. corpus soon fired her assistant sheriff, which critics say was retaliation for him cooperating with the investigation. judge cordell is now investigating that, too. in a statement today, the union said the dsa welcomes change that supports our mission to protect and serve. we are disappointed the sheriff has yet to address any of the significant allegations of retaliation and unfair labor practices that have been brought to her attention, and i'm not going to let people that are unhappy within themselves to tear me down. i'm strong and i had the courage to run against my boss, and i fought hard. sheriff corpus says her critics

are loud because she is changing the culture of the department. the good old boys network, as she calls it. and she's buoyed by the latest crime stats for san mateo county. the figures show rapes are down 26% this year. aggravated assaults down 40%. burglaries are down 23% and there has not been a homicide so far in 2024. so she questions the motivations behind the attacks on her office. is it because i am a female and i am latina that there's not a there's not a place for me in, you know, i disrupted a lot of plans and there's a lot of people that are angry. the sheriff vows she's going to finish out her six year term, and her chief of staff is staying. and in the end, the sheriff says she answers to the people she was sworn to protect. the people of san mateo county. damian trujillo. today in the bay. now to the southeast, where people continue to grapple with historic levels of rain and violent winds in the aftermath

of halloween and the search for the missing continues, at least 223 people are dead. hundreds more remain unaccounted for. the white house has now updated its response to the disaster, pledging $45 billion in upfront funding. fema is on the ground across several states from florida to the carolinas. meanwhile, pg&e crews are on their way to help those communities as those widespread power outages are hindering recovery efforts. more than 400 pg&e electric workers and support personnel are in georgia this morning. more than 300 pg&e trucks are on the way to join them. the utility is pledging to help restore power to the millions of people as part of a nationwide mutual assistance effort. the hurricane response is being considered one of the largest mobilization efforts in u.s. history. when there is a need. utility workers will go and support. we've had people come to help us during natural

disasters, after big storms, after wildfires. we want to do the same for our brother and sister utilities. right now, about a million customers remain without power in georgia, and the carolinas. well, it's about a month and three days until election day. presidential hopefuls are still out on the campaign trail, making their final push in swing states. former president donald trump returns to butler, pennsylvania, today. the same community where his first assassination attempt took place. vice president kamala harris will be in north carolina to receive a briefing about the recovery efforts of halloween. nbc's brie jackson has the latest. reporter. with just over a month to go until election day, there's good news on the economy. the u.s. added 254,000 jobs in september, bringing the unemployment rate down slightly to 4.1%. while speaking from the white house

briefing room for the very first time, president biden taking a victory lap. the simple fact is we've gone from an economy in crisis to literally having the strongest economy in the world. the economy and inflation remain top issues on the campaign trail. during a michigan rally. vice president harris touted the economic progress made under the biden harris administration over the last three and a half years. our nation has seen historic small business creation as an example of that focus. the unexpectedly high jobs total comes on the heels of a tentative deal to end the port strike, threatened u.s. supplies of automobiles and other goods, both positive signs for the economy. former president trump downplaying the strong jobs report and falsely claiming this. the illegal migrants that are coming into the country are getting the jobs while visiting states devastated by hurricane helene, former president trump bashed the current

administration's response to the storm. a lot of people missing, it's a it's a bad one. this was a bad one. bad storm. maybe the worst. mr. trump returns to butler, pennsylvania, saturday, the same site where his first assassination attempt took place. this weekend's rally will look much different than in jul, with noticeably tighter security. saturday's rally in butler, pennsylvania, will have beefed up security measures, including a larger law enforcement presence, a wider security perimeter and the stage will include ballistic glass. former president trump he will be joined by billionaire elon musk. now looking ahead next week, former president barack obama will campaign for vice president harris in pittsburgh. in washington. brie jackson, nbc news. 43 past the hour. still to come on today in the bay. we are talking to bay area superfan crazy george about his decades

the santa cruz mountains, parts of the east bay, diablo range, and down into the south bay. october and the winds coming off of the hills. not something that we want to talk about, so please

watch towards the hillsides as we track that elevated fire danger. the temperatures also going to build up for today by noon, our lunchtime hour already in the 90s mid 80s san francisco toasty already and into the afternoon. that excessive heat warning continues. so shift those weekend plans if you can stay indoors with the ac. and another idea to stay indoors is because we are also tracking that spare the air alert day that continues 100 in santa rosa, 102 in concord. i think our warmest spots are going to continue to be the south county 104. in gilroy, we continue with those upper 80s and some 90s for our inner bay, and that will continue for tomorrow. our sunday fun day plans are also going to have to be tweaked, and you want to go to the beach, but there's probably going to be traffic there too. so i sure hope you have patience and ac in your car. as we look at the 80s around our coastline, 90s ranging from oakland down into fremont and those triple digits

once again for wine country out towards the livermore valley and down into parts of san jose and morgan hill. we're going to start to change things a little bit as we go on into levi's stadium, where it's usually a gorgeous day for football. you're going to feel that heat as you're walking into levi's stadium. we're going to kick off in the mid 90s and into the game, maybe by third, fourth quarter we could be approaching those triple digit temperatures. so the hats, the light layers, the flip flops if you can, and into the afternoon if you take vta or any of the other transit's, it's going to be packed and it's going to be hot. so good luck for you there. going into counting down to a cool down what we all need, we are going to be looking at some systems just to our west that are going to bring finally the return of our natural ac here, some more cloud cover and some cooler temperatures. so watch this 7-day forecast. i know that is very sad. 100 still continuing even into some upper 90s for monday. but tuesday and beyond we're going to drop those

years after it all began. in case you didn't know, crazy george is a professional cheerleader, enthusiastic about all bay area sports teams, and he's even credited with inventing the wave. our kris sanchez and laura garcia spoke with him about creating the iconic move. i played my drum, so i loved inventing the wave. it's gone around the world. i get calls from all over the world. hey! and not only that, but a very, you know, recent game show even verify the authenticity of that on jeopardy! that's one of the questions. they validated it. tonight the quakes are giving the first 5000 fans crazy. george wigs. they play real salt lake at 730 at paypal park for their home finale. and tomorrow you can come out for a full day of soccer fun. as we celebrate the telemundo cuarenta y ocho soccer festival. it's a free

san francisco. the central freeway connector ramp is closed all weekend. the map on your screen shows the closure basically between 101 and market street. caltrans crews are making emergency repairs to the freeway barrier rails. it will reopen in time for the monday morning commute. the detour is at the seventh street offramp, with a scorching heat over the last week. wildfires are a big concern for fire crews in lake county, north of napa county. a vegetation fire has quickly grown. it's called the glen haven fire. it ignited just before noon yesterday. it has burned more than 400 acres so far. hundreds of customers are evacuated. two homes have been destroyed. more than 2000 structures are still in harm's way. the fire is 20% contained. the cause is still under investigation. speaking of the

heat, if you are headed to the niners game tomorrow, it has the potential to be the hottest 49ers game ever in the team's decade at levi's stadium. a reminder for all game goers wear your sunscreen, your hats, your sunglasses and stay hydrated. so perfect timing to check in with cynthia one last time before we are making history here. we are living it as we see those temperatures very, very warm for kickoff. even for people walking into the stadium, you're going to be sweating already. low seconds. and guess what? it gets even hotter from there. as we look towards the third fourth quarter, nearing that triple digit mark. so definitely an area to watch. we'll go on into monday. things will turn a little breezy, and when i say little, i mean little. and we'll bring down those temperatures also by a little. but then more relief should arrive. that ac should turn back on as we go on into tuesday and the rest of the week, where we go from the 100th this weekend, back down into the 80s for our inland valleys. now, of course, our beaches are also

going to be very warm. you need to have ac in your car as lots of people are going to build up with the traffic there too. oh yeah. our director, who lives in santa cruz. good luck getting home today. oh my goodness. all right cynthia, thanks. know 5 or 6 p.m. news tonight. instead, it's the big ten right here on nbc bay area. number ten, michigan wolverines at the washington huskies. we will have a special edition newscast after that. and then we are back at 11 p.m. until then, you can always stay up to date on nbcbayarea.com. thank you so much for making us a part of your saturday morning. we hope you stay cool, stay safe, have a great day and we'd love to see you right back here tomorrow morning.
