now 11:00, fireworks lighting up the sky all over th bay area, even in places where they were not supposed to be. w show you everything from the professional shows to the ones that have firefighters extremel nervous. >> from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> first we have breaking ws want to tell you about of a ver serious nature. in the past 10 minutes we have learned multipl people been shot in the city of hayward. is is all happening along the 400 k just east of e 880-92 interchange. we don't know a lo about this. this has ju

happened. police have said there is more than one victim but no one has died. no fatalities they are aware of at this timebody is in custody right now. a shelter in place order is in effect for that area. this is around the 400 block of rancor place in hayward. multiple people shot and killed tonight. i am sara donchey. every year, bay area firefighters but yes, please, do not launch illegal fireworks. every year the view shows us how many people do not listen or do not care. this display in union cit it was so big that our producer thought this was a professional show, but no. this was in the middle of a neighborhood street people are so brazen that the helicopter spotted somebody setting fireworks off just a fe feet away from a fire truck. if you have ever wondered where th enforcement is for all this, this is another broad look just what they are up against out there. there are a lot of

fireworks going off tonight, most of them illegal. in the past hour, this is the result, potentially. this grass fire erupted a long white cliff way in walnut creek. firefighters said they think that this was fireworks that started this fire. our betty yu road along with a busy fire crew tonight. >> reporter: it has been a very busy night for con fire. these are the calls they currently have going on in the county right now. we are at one of those locations. in total on this holiday, con fire says tha it expects to respond to 30 to 40 vegetation fires alone in a span of a few hours. before night fell it was not hard to hear or see illegal fireworks lighting up the sky in antioch. it is one of the county hotspot on july 4th. fireworks are banned in contra costa county. >> to the edge of brentwood is where we usually see a lot of

our fires. part of this is because this area is a little bit drier, so our fuel, moistur and the grass is a little bit drier than the southern portion >> reporter: assistant chief chris bachman said they have extra crews working during peak hours. on our way to our first call of the night we spotted illegal fireworks shows going o along the highway. firefighters were able to put out the small fires by the time we arrived. this region has lots of dry, grassy areas, which has firefighters concerned about fires and injuries. weather conditions were somewhat favorable this july 4th. >> this nice, cool, kind of wet humid weather. it is a little bit windy, so if it does start it will still spread, but the humidity and the cool weather i definitely helping.

>> reporter: fire investigators were also busy patrolling and confiscating illegal fireworks. violators could face fines. onc we reached the 10:00 hour there were nine calls going at the same time in a 10-minute period >> what you see now with the number of calls running is pretty common with how they usually come in year after year you can stay at this pace unti usually about 11: 30, 12:00. >> we have been checking throug the night and in the past 20 minutes we got an update from them. they said they responded to almost 20 grass fires like this one in antioch, and that was just during the 9:00 hour. this in fireworks were definitely to blame for three o them and probably the cause of dozen more. yeah, it is really loud in the city tonight! that is what it looked like in the

mission district with some people holding roman candles in the middle of the street out in the open. fireworks set off a chorus of car alarms. there wer police cruisers doing patrols, but it is kind of like playing game of whack a mole. across th bay in san leandro, people took over east 14th street and broadmoor boulevard to create their own illegal fireworks block party combo and people ar not just staying in the neighborhoods anymore. in hayward they took over a shopping center. a parking lot on mission boulevard. okay, now for the legal stuff. the sanctioned events, the ones supposed to be going up, thousands of people crowded the san francisco waterfront, including people who traveled from other parts of the world t come see it. >> i live in a climate where i is 109 degrees temperature, and i said i'm getting out! so i came here! that is where i hav been for the past few days. rather than go home i wanted to

stay for the fireworks! >> we are from glasgow in scotland! we came for a holiday for my sister's 13th birthday! so we are coming to see san francisco and then going on a wee road trip down the coast! >> it is my first fourth of jul in the united states, so i came here with my friends. >> i am so glad they did not come all that way to be disappointed, because carl fog was there but he stayed pretty low, but high enough not to spoil the show. across the bay this was the 10th annual concord fireworks display taking place after a da filled with food, games, local vendors and a lot more. you probably wonder what goes into these shows and how they pull them off. we got a look behind the scenes at the livermore robinson park. james wolf designed the entire show. he uses 500 shells to create a sho that lasts about 20 minutes. >> so when this shell goes up,

this comment puts a trail on it. it is the only reason i do it! i am the person over there sitting and pressing the buttons. i get a kick out of it >> so this is not the highest technology of all, but he reall does this painstakingly. he say this is his passion. he create a list of each shell in order himself, then in the two days before the show they are loaded onto the tubes. each one is set with a fuse, then during the show james fires each and every one carefully to avoid somethin like this. remember that? that was 11 years ago today. san diego's big bay boom famously went bust when a technical glitch caused what was supposed to be a 15-minute show to go of in 15 seconds. it all went off on multiple barges at once. there is now a growing trend of

skipping pyrotechnics altogether and going with this. light displays, like this one. this was at sutro tower. lauren toms says it is about celebrating more than just independence day. >> reporter: fireworks shows in san francisco have a bit of an obstructed view because of the fog, but at sutro tower, powerful lasers are creating a spectacle that can be seen for miles. the fog is part of the show. like many, raul velez is hitting the barbecue, but not i your average backyard. tonight he is at sutro tower celebratin 50 years of the iconic structure. >> for the most part sutro towe is just your average 977-foot tower on the west side of town. when it is doing its job, no on notices. >> reporter: but this week the goal is to notice it and

celebrate the tower that sends broadcast signals to a huge swath of the bay area. he is just the fifth person to hold his position leading tower operations, and it is fitting. he spent three decades in radio broadcasting. >> kbcw and other stations. it was very important to me! >> it is a mild coincidence tha the anniversary falls on labor day. the lasers shoot up the center of the 977 foot tower. >> it just happens to fall on july 4th, but we get to celebrate our country and an icon of cbs news bay area. it i a two for! >> reporter: the mastermind behind the installation says that it is all part of the plan >> we named him as the artist on this piece. the truth is tha sutro is sort of the frame. the

sky is the canvas. the light might be the paint, but carl is the artist. >> reporter: 12 boxes hold the most powerful lasers on the market. on independence day the team is staying true to the occasion with red, white and blue lights. >> i think we have the power to define what patriotism really means in america, so i am proud of this city. >> reporter: for velez it is a special affair. he hopes that not only san franciscans but anyone in the bay area can celebrate sutro tower as far as the eye can see. the laser installation will continue for five nights, one celebrating each decade of sutro tower. i'm told we will get to see just about every color of the rainbow, so keep your eyes on our humble sutro tower. what would you do if you were swimming in the ocean and huge shark swam right past you? i would be out of there, but a lot of people in florida said let's just hang out and watch.

plus, summer skiing in the sierra might be a blast, but wait until you see what it took to get to the lifts. do you see it? because the san francisco district attorney's office said it when they tweeted their message. fortunately the camera was not concentrated at ground level so the san francisco

people in florida at this beach found themselves in the middle of something that looked like it came from the movie jaws. do you see the fin? a shark got really close to swimmers yesterday at navarre beach in florida. you would think everybody would freak out and get out of there but most people stayed calm. some got ou of the water but others just turned around to watch the shark. back here on the west coast many people spent the fourth cooling off on ski slopes. this was the last hurrah for palisades tahoe. looks fun, right? but this is what you had to go through to get there! a mile-long trudge through the mud! not as fun! as you can see the snow runs out well before the lifts actually begin. once they finally got a lift, just about everybody opted for short

and other interesting outfits. some were very creative, like this snowboarding basketball her. this inflatable flamingo. and a leopard-printed fellow wearing whatever hat that is. >> don't judge me! paul is like, you know! som of them were fun. some people did bathing suits and stuff. >> when you get a chance to do that? once every couple decades kind of thing. >> they should put those in the ads for california! california you can ski in a speedo! >> you could do it in january if you wanted to! it's just not necessarily a comfortable experience. >> that would cause a lot of frozen bits and pieces. >> let's talk about weather! looking towards downtown oaklan still being eliminated unfortunately by more illegal fireworks in the background. let's talk about what you need to know about the weather over

the next few days. lots of low cloud cover and fog. a great start for most of the bay area. we should see fog backing up t the coast by midday. below average high temperatures by tomorrow, a trend that will continue through the end of the workweek, then we get a bit of warm-up by early next week. if you are just wanting it to feel like july, we have good news down the line. a six to 10 day outlook which goes beyond the seven-day forecast shows a tren towards normal or slightly abov normal temperatures. there is n excessive, extreme heat in store, so now we return to the heat done we had over the weekend. that is good news. tha is a little bit too much. we will see improving air quality and still a mix of green and yellow dots indicating good and moderate air quality. then it i good air quality across the board by thursday, friday and saturday. that is usually the pattern whenever we see cooler than average temperatures in th month of july. looking to the north this is the view we had o fireworks earlier. current

conditions running in the 50s for most of the bay area. we are seeing some of the low clou cover and fog, but again, the lack of weight in the atmospher allows the marine layer to expand. the clouds spread out as we head towards early tomorrow morning, then back out of the inland valleys quickly. along the coast i would not count on much of a break in the cloud cover. you will see gray skies not just tomorrow but for the next several days. temperatures tonight drop-down from where we currently stand, mostly in the 50s to begin the day tomorrow. highs are below average. we will be about two t four degrees below normal for oakland, san francisco and san jose . let's zoom in for a closer look. only upper 50s wit the gray skies overhead. in the south end of the bay we have a mix in the santa clara valley.

even below average temperatures are pretty comfortable this tim of year. we don't complain abou that. just the warmest spots east of mount diablo are reaching into the mid-80s aroun brentwood. low 60s in san francisco, mid-to-upper 60s in oakland and the east bay with temperatures further north reaching into the low 70s. the further north you go, temperatures are likely to stil be on the toasty side. temperatures do not drop much i san francisco in oakland but w do bounce back to near normal highs but monday and tuesday of next week. that means mid-to-upper 60s with low to mi 70s for oakland. temperatures further inland have a little more variation. we have a stretch of highs in the 70s which is well below normal for this time of year. inland spots are mainly back too low to mid 80s with inland parts of the east bay back to around 90 degrees by next tuesday. no suc huge climb right along the coast, but backup of 60 degrees is bonus territory for this tim of year. for the first time we get to welcome matt lively to the late show! thank you very much, paul! ahead in sports, the giants hosted 37,003 fourth of july

because it is a holiday and we are adding to the party, tonight we want to welcome sports anchor matt lively to th kpix family! he is here from waco, texas! this is the wild hour, so i am glad you could hang out with us! this is a little different from the morning news. >> let's keep it live! i had a great first day of work. i got to go out to oracle. i will say this about the giants. the all-star break cannot come here fast enough for them. the injuries are piling up and the recent skid has dropped them into a tie for third place in the final wild-card spot. 37,00 at oracle this afternoon. they chose the ballpark snack over the family barbecue. remember mike ford played one game with the giants last season? he celebrated his 31st birthday

with a triple shy of the cycle. the san francisco offense could not get anything going against mariners starter logan gilbert. the mariners won 6-0. the giant have lost four straight and seven of their last nine. a's lefty jp sears took a shutout into the seventh inning oakland only had two hits and i proved to be enough in detroit! ryan noda drove in the winning run in the 10th and the a's bea the tigers 1-0. to golf. pebble beach is hosting u.s. women's open for the first time. it is a bucket list course for all golfers and for most of the field it is their first time seeing the iconic links where their pga counterparts play the entire year. a new level of respect fo jordan spieth and his famous shot from the side of the cliff >> i looked to the side and i was like he was crazy! i saw th grout the grass there and i was

like -- after a two hour rain delay, joey chestnut and his competitors took the stage. the san jose native pulled ahead downing 62 dogs in 10 minutes t win his 16th title. he did say the delay slowed him down from his usual pace. >> everybody got messed up. but i feel great. i have leftover room, so i will have beers later. >> years after 62 dogs? >> also, a rain delay? >> i just don't understand. mov it inside! seems simple enough. >> will let you organize next time! thanks, matt! still to come, san francisco's d.a. had a patrioti message this fourth of july, bu can you spot what is wrong? we

now back to fourth of july coverage. what is wrong with this tweet from the san francisco district attorney's office? look closely at the two flags in the middle. they are not american flags. that is actually the flag of liberia. there is just one star instead of our usual 50. but the d.a.s office was not the only one to make that mistake. so did the republican national committee. gop twitter. they eventually deleted it after getting roaste online. a fourth of july parade in santa cruz county has made an interesting name for itself. it bills itself as the very shortest, and it has been a tradition since 1961. the entire parade route spends half a mile, but that does not stop people from showing up every year. local entertainment, community clubs and marching bands made their way down the street. everybody was home in time to take a nap before the fireworks. afterwards there was no shortage of larger parades across the bay area today from san jose to danville and porto

madera. one mayor is so determined to do something unrelated to fourth of july tha she is focusing on fixing a sea lion sculpture! she is determined to swim across the san francisco bay to get the jo done. at 8: 30 wednesday morning, sausalito mayor meliss is planning to swim to the sausalito waterfront to raise the last of the $50,000 needed to restore this bronze sea lion that was damaged in the winter storms. it was originally built on the rocks in 1957 and could be seen offshore at high tide. the sausalito foundation wants to have it back on the waterfront by the end of summer coming

chatgpt technology is good for more than just writing essays. it is being used for something that is like science fiction. researchers at the university of texas-austin are experimenting with reading minds! careful, y'all! they ar learning how to translate brain activity into words using a.i. they had volunteers listen to audio clips while having their brains scanned by the very same technology behind chatgpt. they said they were able to figure out what the volunteers were listening to by watching the brain. >> the real potential application of this is helping people who are unable to speak without them needing to get

neurosurgery. >> that is impressive. scientists use the gpt large language model to decode the brain. it is made of millions o pages of text from the internet the a.i. uses it to learn how people talk and think. if you are worried somebody could use it to read your most private thoughts, listen to this. >> are we going to live in a world where i can walk by somebody on the street and they will know what i'm thinking? >> currently we are very far from that. that also might neve be possible. we cannot completely rule it out, but tha certainly will not be possible in the next few decades. >> thank god! >> you better be concerned abou that! it might be good for people who have als or something, but how far are we away from this just becoming a conscious of its own? >> too scary! i'm out! i'm goin off the grid! >> it seems like every week we
