more signs of life are returning as the restaurants are opening just in time for holiday weekend. and later, we will learn the cause to the massive amount of cancellations hitting the airports across the country. and taking a live look outside.

welcome back. the time is 6:14 and the bay area is cut throat for any business but in the pandemic, it is more difficult for the restaurant, and as you can see, we are seeing some bright spots returning to san francisco. two popular restaurants have opened their doors and kpix was there. >> reporter: the restaurant business is one of the hardest hit in the pandemic, but restaurant owners are feeling optimistic as we saw two restaurant openings. after a two-year closure, the lights are on at the marina district. the dining room is full, and the cocktails are flowing. >> people in the neighborhood are really happy that we are back and we have had a warm

open, and even though it is a holiday weekend, and not a lot of people are around, it is great. >> reporter: lori and her husband jeff banker say it is too difficult to keep up the outdoor dining service and they closed in the early days of the pandemic, and they used the time to revamp the interior space and craft a new incorporate asian cuisine. >> jeff was private cheffing, and i was helping him, and we got a grant from the government to help us going. >> the williams family were regulars prepandemic. >> i love the food so much, and i'm happy to be here. we kept instagraming them and messaging them, when are you ready, and so when they finally announced they were opening on the 30th, we were here on the first day.

>> reporter: at gar dilly square, they were here at the pie guy's official opening and promising success which is the grand for the business that started as a pop-up. >> it is nonstop since 2:00 and i am excited because i got to san francisco as covid started and i saw the city shutdown. so i am happy to be part of something that is creating jobs for san francisco. >> reporter: the staff was busy with the detroit-style pizza. >> seeing how much we have blown up on social media and the bay area, it is exciting for the people who have come out. >> in san francisco, betty yu, kpix5. >> restaurant workers say they are still facing supply chain shortages and shortages of staff. taking a look outside, it is still a cloudy day with the

first alert meteorologist darren peck. >> yes, it is misting out for most locations near the water. i keep coming back to the little fact that we tied the record for rainfall in san francisco yesterday. we tied the record for july 2nd, and it was all morning mist like this. and if we are looking at this from a couple of higher vantage points of mount diablo, walnut creek and concord are sitting out there, and you guys are all waking up to this stuff. the temperatures are out there in the mid-50s and as a result, it feels like yesterday where everybody is waking up to gray skies and a little bit misty. looking at the high view, this is the high image satellite imagery, and this is the view of way above where it is, and you can see where san francisco is, and this is the marine bay which is some of the fog getting pulled along delta breeze, and

sacramento is waking up to this, and this is going to be back before late afternoon and when we get the sunshine and the second half of yesterday, and it is going to be just like yesterday. you will see a lot to mist along the shoreline, and only up to 70s in the inland locations and that theme is going to hold into the holiday, and hopefully now you have enough information to plan the sunday. this is planning your fourth of july afternoon, and the daytime highs on fourth of july for the hottest inland location, they are not getting out of the 70s all day, and across the bay, we o1 deg below oyn te do the

ut still low to everybody else. not dramatically different from normal, but still, it is a relatively cool day, and of course, in terms of the low clouds for monday evening, we are timing it out right there, and that is monday taking us ahead through 7:00, 8:00, 10:00 at night when the clouds fill in the immediate bay again. so likely not the best show this year for fireworks anywhere near the water, but if you are inland, you can remain hopeful to be able to hold off the low clouds from moving in too far, and you will get a decent show of the official firework shows happening monday. and now, the other item in the first alert forecast, after we have three days of this wonderfully cool weather, look at this. the tend of the week, and specifically for us, the numbers for oakland which are going to climb back up into the mid-70s,

we will see the temperatures for the north bay valleys climbing to 90, and we will be back up to average for this time of the year, and if we take those numbers for san jose specifically, you will back up into the mid-80s for the day time highs in the south bay by the time we get to friday and saturday. >> you know, you were not kidding by the time we took a walk, and it was like sweatshirt weather in san jose, and it is amazing this july, and this chilly at times. >> yes, and you will get three more days of this, too, but you will warm back up, and everybody will for the end of the week, but it worked out great for the holiday. >> great. >> and look at my desk. it is full of content from me to you. and look at this. this is the white caps coming up, and the wind is definitely blowing by the bay to the giants' dugout through the wind of play yesterday, and hang

later in the game, and all t pla oganebothe n the fourth. bases loaded and look what happened, left field, and the ball got away from joc tough on chicago t tded tm u ain, and grounded to second. that is one, and oh, the donny walton throw to first cost the giants and a couple of runs scored and the result of three straight losses for san francisco. 5-3 final yesterday. n now, not just everybody can grow a beard like paul antioch. 6 1/3 innings of shutout ball, and he got sam haggerty looking, and he had five strikeouts in the game, and now could they

hold? a.j. puk gave them a no-doubt-about-it homer. and that tied the game with that justin upton homer. the bases loaded and abraham toro hit a liner out of reach of sky, and the mariners walked it off final 2-1. the nba, and a championship and a league draft and free agency has srtowbo gsoo to cen e finmv steph currey and son cannon, and the future dubs and g leaguers and guy santos who at times took the game over for the warriors showed the range, and stop and pop, and yes, sir, and 23 points for the kings though too much for the warriors. matt coleman with the steal, and finished it off the other way, and the warriors were dropped by

is. you can see the temperatures of the city, and another way looking at the future cast and of course, by the time we get to late morning and early afternoon, inland, 75 in general and plenty of sunshine. for the bay shoreline, it is mid-60s with the a.m. drizzle and we are getting the light mist out of this again, and just a couple of hundredths of rain, and if you are at the bay shore or certainly at the coast, and more numbers for day time highs, 76 in free month, and 72 in san rafael, and i will be back with the july fourth forecast in a little bit. but for now, back to you, devyn. >> thank you. triple-a is predicting that millions of people will be taking a trip of 50 miles or more. at sfo, there were two flight

cancellations along with 17 delays according to flight aware website, and that is pretty good compared to the rest of the nation. wendy says that a scheduling glitch is causing massive problems for the rest of the country. >> reporter: it could not have happened at a worse time with staffing shortages and weather, and american airlines had a scheduling platform that allowed pilots to opt out saying that 12,000 flights lacked a pilot or co-pilot. so american suspended the majority of the schedules so that operations will not be impacted. the snafu is coming as the industry is dealing with canceled aflights. >> we got here, and we were just told that we are canceled. >> reporter: his flight canceled before his own wedding today.

firefighters this weekend. a fire broke out near antioch, and this is the good news, no homes or buildingsings were damaged or hurt, but it is a reminder to leave the fireworks to the pros. fire crews in easternbuding knock p-up efforts to make sure it does not reignite. the police chief is stepping down from his role on the city council in uvalde. the resignation is coming more than a month after the mass shooting at robb elementary which led to the public criticism of the police response where he was the on-scene commander. he says in the resignation

repeals the state's anti-loitering law, and the proponents say it contributed to the trans bias and reverses a law that prohibits loitering to commit prostitution, but the proponents say it was written so loose as to profile trans men and women oflaw enforcement and anti-trafficking advocates say repealing law makes it harder to identify victims of theis ex trafficking. public schools are getting a record amount of funding in the new state budgeting, and $128 billion will go to california schools even after a decline of enrollment after the covid pandemic. and the budget now will be offering expanded meal plans and college grants. millions of people are hitting the beaches and shark sightings are up, but there is a high-tech way to warn others if

you sight a track. there is a new app that is shark sightings and there are several spotted off of the coast of massachusetts which has limited swimming near cape cod, and one beach goer was attacked off of the bay, and now, use common sense. >> don't dump bait, because it is causing the sharks to have a feeding frenzy. >> swim in groups and don't swim at night, and take the lifeguard's instructions seriously. >> nationwide, there have been 47 shark attacks and that a 42% jump from the previous year. taking a live look outside, it is going to be another cool day around the bay, and that is a switchover with our meteorologist darren who has the details. >> yes, we are doing exactly what we did yesterday. starting out gray bay area-wide,

and that is the view from treasure island, and going to mount diablo, this is contra castro county and walnut creek, and you are under that, and the tri valley, you are looking like that, and now, waking up gray, and visualization is going to show you how wide it is. it is going to melt back, and by the time we get into the early afternoon, most of lus see sunshine except for the beaches where you have the clouds hanging on. remember what yesterday looked and felt like? this is the same today. and the temperatures are in the tupr 5s for most locations. the daytime highs are the story as a result of this. only going to the low to mid-70s for the warmest inland locations. santa rosa, 76, and san jose is going to hit 71, and mid-60s on the bay shore today, and these numbers and these clouds exactly repeat for tomorrow on the fourth of july, and in light of that, the one thing that i am pointing out is how cool the temperatures are going to be for

this time of the year for what would be average for the fourth of july, and those are the daytime highs for the midland locations. and it is going to be feeling really nice. of course, in addition to the cool temperatures for tomorrow evening, that is the future cast visualization showing you the clouds building back in for monday early evening, and for fireworks, if you are in the bay or the bay shoreline coast, you or a firewor show. but ininland, you will get a good display for any of the official fireworks show, and also, monday, a weaker cooler system off of the coast to help to deepen the marine layer . wah the spinn the cudsisoakeusg someg like that comes produce some rain for northern most california county and mendocino, but it is a mix,

and the only meaningful rain worth talking about is the mist that is happening from this deep marine layer, regardless of the weather system off of the coast today and tomorrow morning as well. 0.02 of rain that we will see from the coast. so we will stay like this for a couple of days. and then, san jose, you will go to the mid-80s by friday and saturday. looking at the microclimates, we are warming up to mid-90 by the time we get to saturday. so it is a dramatic swing in the temperatures for sure from the low to mid-70s today to 90 over there, but those numbers are actually pretty much where we should be, and it is not like it is necessarily a heat wave coming our way, devyn, after coming off of a wonderfully cool

couple of days, i will say it. >> ood, soedog and ds w is going to m firewksspla yes, like mostyes, andcertnly i water, but like mostyears, we will wait, time, because the forecasts like that can change, and the timing right on the line in the evening for when the clouds start to move inland. inland, you will be okay, but right on the bay shore, you will miss it. >> okay. many of us are worrying about online privacy, but for victims of domestic violence, it can be a matter of life or death. and a woman who experienced violence in her childhood home is on the mission to help others. melissa cook has her story. >> if it gets hot, it is not
