awaited government report. another security breach at l.a.x. after break, a passenger disrupting a flight, the second time in two days. here is a

what if f you could d push a bun anand less cararbon would de put t into the a air. if there w were a butttton tht would helplp you use l less ene, breaththe cleaner r air, and eveven take onon climatate change..... would yoyou press itit?

a live look at traffic on the bay bridge, richmond san rafael bridge, chp is stepping up enforcement against speeding. california saw a spike in speed related crashes on highways last year with more than 500 people killed and about 57,000 injured. this year, citations are on the rise for drivers going 100 miles an hour or more. this weekend, chp is teaming with highway patrols in ten other western states. in the forecast, today being june 26th , it looks very much like june gloom outside today. the camera on our roof looking towards bay bridge shows a lot of low grade clouds. this is bay area wide. let me give you a couple other windows on the bay. we'll check the view from the camera that we've got that looks over the mark hopkins hotel. you see how low the clouds are there obscuring some of the towers. that's what it looks like over the golden gate bridge.

tri valley, just as cloudy. if we put numbers, everybody is in the mid to upper 50s in immediate bay, a warm 60 for san jose, a cool 54 in petaluma. that's our spread from 54 in petaluma to 60 in san jose. there is the extent of the clouds. you see it does have the entire bay area at least for now looking at gray skies, extends to the tri valley. you see the south bay certainly in the immediate bay and there is the north bay. bring it forward and play to the late morning and early afternoon. clouds will melt all the way back to the beach or i should say to the immediate part of the bay and golden gate by about noon today. i think this will be one of those days where you see marine layer creeping in like the classic june gloom will for the city and maybe even part of the east bay. by the time we get to late afternoon it does burn back to just beaches. we all get sunshine for most of today unless you are at the beach and it builds back in

over night. meantime, there is our significant change in the weather coming to much of the west coast over the next several days. we are going to be insulated from it. if you look off the coast, there is a big area of low pressure doing us a huge favor. it is protecting us and keeping us from feeling intense heat wave that's about to grip the entire west coast with the exception of the areas that have access to on shore flow. look how there are no heat warnings, watches, advisories in the bay area or areas that are impacted by the delta breeze, on shore flow, all those areas are not shaded. good news. if you are in mendocino and lake county, you are not getting benefit of that. there are heat advisories and excessive heat warnings. that's going to kick in into today and go through tuesday. you will see why when we look at the daytime highs. you will see how much hotter it will be. low 80s are pretty much right on the mark for where they

should be. it's warmer than average in the east bay, low 90s. you should be in the mid to upper 80s. it is warm but not bad. 90 in liver more, you have been through much hotter this season. in the immediate gray, it will be gray for immediate coastline and east bay all day for the most part, only going to the low 70s. into lake and mendocino look at the difference. 105 today in clear lake, 104 for ukiah. this is where the heat will be felt in terms of the bay area's significant heat wave. if you are in lake or mendocino, you will have to get significant heat for the next days. the seven-day forecast shows no real changes. we are pretty much going to ride this wave for the next seven days. i will see you with more of this in the next half hour. are we alone in the universe. as a kid i was obsessed with

that question. we are finally getting a long report on the ufos. this is the first time publicly acknowledged the sightings. digging through the report. >> reporter: pandemic was a babier year for close encounters, ufo sightings spiked dramatically. nearly 50% nationwide. were they flying saucers or something else? a new report has a little something for everyone. >> possibility of having life somewhere else in the universe is guaranteed. she might have seen a ufo. >> reporter: last year pentagon authenticated three navy videos, each a bizarre encounter with an unidentified aerial phenomena or uap for short. they also showed up on radar. >> 46 knots, 50 knots. >> reporter: the special task force concentrated review on

might get it and a little bit, as i say, afraid because of what it might do to other issues. >> reporter: douglas says he is grateful to be protected now. >> i will be glad to be back with the people i know. >> reporter: he is looking forward to trying to get out more now that he has been vaccinated. elise preston, cbs news, new york. an estimated 4 million americans have trouble getting access to primary care because they have limited function and are home bound. there will be fewer places in san francisco to get a vaccine. city college site is closing today followed by moscone center on july 14. in australia parts of sydney are on lock down in effort to stamp out outbreak of the delta variant. four local areas are under stay- at-home orders from last night until july 2. the new cluster began last week with airport limousine driver and has expanded to 65 cases. scientists found some

north of here. the whole pacific northwest is about to experience a historic heat wave. at home, we are thankfully dodging that one. it could just as easily have been us if center of high pressure centered further to the south. it originally looked like it might have. long story short look where the heat excessive warnings are and advisories. notice there is a doughnut hole right here. if you have access to the bay and coast like we do here thanks to the golden gate, all the cool air is able to get in, and anywhere that does not have access is dealing with the heat issue for the next few days. look at the bullseye. look at where the highest degree will be, that's no surprise. but i will show you how long this will last. we will look at the 8 to 14 day. it is not quite as intense but above average temperatures are sticking around. that does have implications at

home. it's going to stay warm. it's not like a heat wave but temperatures will be above average. right now we are in a comfortable spot, most of us in the 50s for morning lows. you see thanks to marine layer's influence which will burn to the coast by 10:00 or 11:00, it will be sunshine for just about everybody unless you are at the immediate bay. like yesterday, classic june gloom. daytime highs are showing us differences. you will see numbers that climb to the low 90s for inland spots while we stay in upper 60s to low 70s at the coast because of that. that's saving us and giving us the on shore flow. low 80s for south bay. if we get towards inland valleys of the east bay, this is where we will see heat today. you have been through much worse. low 90s is hot but it is only five or six degrees above average for this time of year. in the bay, low to mid 70s. you don't know a thing is

happening. we are so insulated from what's happening throughout the west at large thanks to access to the coast and bay and on shore flow, it is one of the gifts really working in our favor but not the case for lake and mendocino. 105 in clear lake, 104 in ukiah. that's why we were looking at that to start the forecast, focusing on that being where excessive heat warning is this afternoon through tuesday. none of this changes for seven days. in the bay, it's bliss. inland, it's going to stay hot. breaking news, a just released engineering report from 2018 says high rise building which collapsed this week near miami had major structural damage. the report focused on concrete slab below a pool deck which needed extensive repairs. the document made note of damaged concrete columns, beams, walls in the under ground parking garage. 2% of teachers are black men according to u.s.
