11:03 pm
think of this heat? >> i think it is very funny because i haven't been in 100 degrees in a long time. >> reporter: ramundo bravo served up ice creek with real fruit. >> it's hot outside. today's different. because i don't know. every day is cold. >> reporter: the heat advisory continues through sunday. it is expected to be slightly cooler. buffer it will still hang around the triple digits. >> oh, grandma would be staying home until the sun goes down. or going some place air-conditioned. >> for the rest of this holiday weekend? >> pretty much. >> to find out how sunday is shaping up, have a look at the first alert forecast with darren peck. >> it will be better but it will be hot. i don't want to overstate the fact that tomorrow gets a couple of degrees cooler. we still have a heat advisory. we have peaked. these were the daytime highs for today. and this is the hottest it is going to be in
11:04 pm
this particular spike in heat. look how far above average you were. san jose made it to 94. if we make it to the current number in san jose now, we are still looking at temperatures two to three degrees shy of 80 but let's take this ahead. not just for tomorrow: we will spend a lot of time talking about tomorrow's heat with the heat advisory. i want to look further beyond that. to show you the cooldown coming our way. we still have an issue here, but this is the 4th of july. and there will be a noticeable cooldown by the time we get there. there is good news in terms of getting away from the dangerous heat. but you still have one more day to make sure you are taking care of yourself outside. especially if you are in the inland valleys. the heat advisory goes until 11:00 tomorrow. i'll have the complete forecast in a few minutes. power outages in the east
11:05 pm
bay the orange patches represent anywhere from 500 to 5,000 people. in the dark right now. latest numbers from pg&e say 9,000 people across the bay area dealing with power outages tonight. even bigger power outage today in danville. but it has been restored there. other sporadic outages in the east bay and pg&e has not identified a cause. a good place to beat the heat. the shade or the coast. but you could have walked almost to muir woods faster. da lin has that story. >> reporter: the giant redwoods, the creeks, and all the shade, muir woods is a popular spot for people escaping from the heat. muir woods national monument is packed on most weekends. add in the warm weather and the july 4th holiday weekend, it was extra busy with a lot more foot traffic. >> i like the tiny creek there.
11:06 pm
>> reporter: among the thousands of visitors this week is the jones family from berkeley. mom, dad, and two kids bonding over a hiking adventure. >> i think we should do the trails. >> i think it was warmer in berkeley when we left. >> the fog starting to burn off. so might as well get off into the shade. >> reporter: they traded in the 80s in berkeley for the cooler 70s in mill valley. >> sunny. not too hot. you know. cool in the shade. kind of all you could ask for, you don't need air-conditioning out here. it is just perfect. >> reporter: some families came from inland communities that that triple digit temperatures. >> an easy hike for the girls and the shade was a nice reprieve. it was beautiful. we really enjoyed it. >> it is a great way to beat the heat. >> yes. >> reporter: with so many trying to get away from the heat, the roadways were backpacked. i was stuck in plenty of traffic myself. i'm in mill valley on highway 1. it's not like they are calling this the parade of the turtles
11:07 pm
because we are barely moving. we'll get there. just got to be patient. >> reservation is at a certain time. so it is just a rush. can we make it through? >> reporter: once they got closer to the north bay, they were met by karl the fog, you barely make out the top of the golden gate bridge. >> how long did it take you to drive from berkeley? >> a whole hour-and-a-half. pretty brutal. >> reporter: a long drive that turned into a cool, fun, and carefree day for the kids. they say it was all worth it. >> i'm excited to spend this time with the kids and have this time outside together. >> reporter: folks planning to drive out here need to buy a parking reservation but all the popular time slots are sold out. so the best bet, public transit or take a shuttle. >> all right, da lin, and public transit was impacted by hot temperatures. the heat forced bart to run the trains at a slower speed in the east
11:08 pm
bay. one bart rider was confused as to why his train was going so slowly. >> it just slowed to a crawl. i thought something was wrong with the train. it's a great deal to be able to ride out here from the airport. we enjoyed it but it was slow. >> the yellow antioch line was the one impacted the most. stay with us as we track the fire danger and the first alert heat. you can find a list of bay area cooling centers on kpix.com and we are also streaming on the cbs news app. with the 4th of july holiday. cos concerns over the fireworks and the injuries they cause. >> but as devin fehely shows us, fire of any kind could be an accident waiting to happen. >> reporter: for 59-year-old duncan reno, it was a moment of panic followed by searing pan. >> it exploded and flashed toward me. >> reporter: this was duncan a week ago seated on the patio of
11:09 pm
his daughter's home. their fire pit exploded like a fire ball sending flames racing up his legs and chest. >> i caught on fire. and i couldn't put it out. i was patting down my chest. that's why my hands got burned so bad. >> reporter: a week later with one surge already under his belt and another scheduled, duncan is slowly and painfully recovering from the burning that cover roughly 10% of his body. >> just the pain that radiates from what i have to do with these legs hurt so bad. so it is just an intolerable. they can't, you can't get relief from it. >> reporter: doctors wanted to get the word out about the dangers of fire and firework related injuries as we near the 4th of july holiday. >> the weather is getting warmer. people are out. they want to barbecue and make food. we see the firework related injuries. those are people losing fingers and hands from
11:10 pm
mortars. >> reporter: fire and fireworks can be dangerous, disfiguring and deadly. i hope that caution and common sense will spare other it is painful ordeal like the one that duncan is enduring right now. >> there was an instant that our lives changed and we were doing nothing different. we were doing what we normally do. >> looks like he is in good spirits so that's good. someone was found unconscious on the beach. they lifted the victim. took him to the trauma center. another chp chopper was in the area rescuing a hiker with a medical emergency in the regional park. after san ramon fire crews gave treatment on the trail. the hiker was lifted and taken to the hospital where they are expected to be okay. and still ahead, the biden administration's new plan to deal with student debt relief in the wake of the recent supreme court ruling. then more expenses when driving through the bay area. gas taxes, and bridge tolls,
11:11 pm
all going up this weekend.
11:12 pm
11:13 pm
across the east palo alto with community organizations taking part in the parade. they are celebrating east palo alto east 40th anniversary as an incorporated city. >> and remembering why they say it all began back in 1983. >> saw people making decisions for us. and 40 years, the next 40 years with all the challenges we have, gentrification, rising cost of living, housing, we will continue to do that work. many americans expect to hit the road for the holiday weekend. 51million people will travel 50 miles or more, if you plan to travel for the holiday, you missed out on the worst of the traffic. could get bad when people are coming back. roads should be relatively clear through tuesday afternoon. and the state is taking more of your money starting
11:14 pm
today. gas taxes went up 4 cents to pay for gas repairs. if that wasn't bad enough, the toll to cross the golden gate bridge is now up to $9.75. the cost has outpaced inflation. bus and ferry rides also cost more. you know, when they originally were making the pitch to sell the bonds to the golden gate bridge, this back in the 30s , one of the arguments they used, they said look. when we pay the bonds off, there will be no more ferries to cross the bridge. the toll will go away. once we pay the bonds off. >> i think we should track that guy down and get an interview with him. >> exactly. exactly. >> i'm going to use the golden gate bridge. always a pretty time lapse. look at today. it is instructive actually. a little bit of the marine layer.
11:15 pm
if you look, no two days are the same. the point is it is low. it is just barely creeping over the deck of the bridge. let's go to a live picture of it now. the tower, 740 feet tall. the marine layer comes in and oftentimes it will obscure the entire bridge even more. 2,000 to 3,000 feet before you get to the base of it. but today, it was doing something a little more unique. it was getting squashed and the high pressure that is responsible for this heat wave which is pushing down across the entire bay. and heating the air up as it does that, you could also see what it was doing and the impact it would have on the marine layer and use it as your gauge to see what is the pressure down there. pressure is pretty high. that's what it was doing today. if you look at the daytime highs, just want to give you a little point of fact
11:16 pm
a reminder on something. we will use san jose for a second. not the most impressive number. 95 degrees, we are talking about the air temperature of course. when the air is at 95 degrees at san jose, you have to think about what that is doing to the ground. let's use our black studio floor and imagine that is asphalt. because on a 95-degree day, that will make the asphalt 140 degrees. think about your pets. dogs going to walk out on that, you can burn a paw in a minute on 140-degree asphalt. the grass, the concrete, maybe not that hot. but they are all hot surfaces, we will be close tomorrow to today's numbers. concord, 97, 90 in santa rosa. 91 in fremont. technically the numbers are a little cooler. the heat advisory stays in
11:17 pm
effect until tomorrow night. >> the number for san jose at 82. that is normal. that is pretty much right on the mark. so is the concord number at 85. that is where it should be. on july 4th. livermore, a few degrees above that mark. san francisco and oakland, you go down to 70. we didn't necessarily feel much oppressive heat for either of those two parts of the bay. let's get to the other micro climates. north bay valleys, you will get closer to 90. you were around 100 today. 92 in san jose tomorrow. you were in as we saw, around 94, 95. look at tuesday and wednesday, that's a fast drop. one more first alert day. the inland east bay valleys are still near 97. but wednesday, it is 78. all right guys, back to you. >> thank you darren. the biden administration still hammering out details for their response to the latest series of supreme court
11:18 pm
rulings. >> the president saying there are other ways for them to address student debt relief and lgbtq plus protections. christina rafinni has the latest. >> reporter: hours after the ruling came down, president biden was at the podium with a new plan to use something called the higher education act to carve out a new way to forgive student loans. >> it will take longer. but in my view, it's the best path that remains. >> reporter: the administration had argued that covid and the emergency powers granted under a 2003 law called the hero's act gave it the authority to relieve $400 billion worth of student loans. >> you think that is a better way to do it, why didn't you use that in the first place? >> we believed that the hero's act pathway was quicker. >> reporter: chief justice john roberts said the law quote does not permit basic and fundamental changes in the scheme designed by congress. >> i was hoping they were going to do the right thing in the
11:19 pm
name of democracy. >> reporter: the last week of supreme court decisions dealt back to back blows to the biden agenda. the court ruled 6-3 in favor of a colorado website designer who wanted to refuse creating webbing websites for same sex couples. >> nobody should be forced to create a message that goes against his and her convictions. >> reporter: the court struck down affirmative action practices in college admissions. chief justice roberts one again writing for the 6-3 majority said the student must be treated based on his or her experience as an individual. not the basis of race. >> the idea our society like, can be color blind is a silly one. and coming up in sports, the giants going for back to back wins against justin verlander and the mets. plus draymomd will be back as a warrior,
11:20 pm
11:21 pm
11:22 pm
>> the giants hope to get a win over three time cy young award winner justin verlander who has gone 0-2 in his last six starts. mets baseball has been rough. a nice day to catch up on reading at the ballpark. second inning. luis matos givers fans a reason to give up. mato is with an inning ending play. the rookie making another spectacular play. anthony on the mound for the giants and it is scoreless in the first two innings, but then he gives up three home runs in the third. including this one. to francisco lindor. the mets
11:23 pm
like what they saw out of justin verlander today. he struck out six and gave up just five hits over seven innings of shut-out ball. the giants bats cooled off for this game. so in the seventh inning, runners at the corners and estrada at the plate. he gets the ball up the middle and this brings in one run. but the mets turn two to end the inning. they go onto win 4-1. and shout-out to as ball boy celebrating his 21st birthday at the coliseum. the as gave him another reason to celebrate. seventh inning, seth brown gets the ball over the fence to give the as the 5-4 lead and chicago responds in the eighth inning. tony kemp here. nine innings was not enough. and this game went to extras. two outs in the 10th. jj hits a hard grounder to
