11:09 pm
today's numbers, they need a moment. we were way below average. and it was 20 degrees below average. that's 68 degrees in this first week of july. you should be near 90. 88 would be the average there. we're not doing this anymore, and we kind of have to get acclimated. the next thing to keep in mind is what's about to happen. take a look at the inland part of contra costa county. the seven-day forecast for concord, and i just want you to take a look at where we're going to be by the time we get over here for saturday. this is the day we'll spend time talking about it with that real heat coming back. and i'll see you in a few minutes, back to you. >> and now the sheriff has identified a person killed in that crash that happened in san rafael from novato. they say

11:13 pm
escaped from santa rosa medical center at 3:00 this morning. authorities have been searching ever since, following leads to this rocklin neighborhood where neighbors are understandably on edge. >> i think it's a little weird that you can just escape a hospital after you do a huge crime like that. >> there is a lot of open area like that. that would be a crime area that he could go in and out of. >> and it is still not clear how abril escaped to begin with. still ahead tonight, the country is preparing for more big unions to hit the picket lines this week. as we look at what could turn out to be a summer of strikes. and then we'll head out to stern grove for all the highlights from this weekend's performances

i got it, i got it! no. you got lucky. >> a couple enjoying the carnival games on the last day of the alameda county fair. big smiles from the winner as she got her prize in the end of a fair that was a bittersweet one for a girl working with livestock all year long as it was auction day. >> there's going to be tears on the way home. it's also a relief. it's like i've spent the time with them. i know they've been raised with quality care. we train them to do all these tricks for the shows, everything. >> and the alameda county fair is the largest in the bay area,
11:16 pm
and it dates back to 1912. usually we're out there really sweaty, hot. it was a nice weekend for the alameda county fair. >> it worked out so wonderful, at least for below average temperatures. i'll pick up, talking about that 105, which is coming for inland contra costa county on saturday. we're not getting all that hot. let's take a look at one other micro climate for the bay area. this one typically also, they could get pretty hot. we'll spotlight how they will play out for you over the next seven days. even if it is not 105 on saturday, still hot. the numbers over here will make it up into the low 90s. if we stop here for a second, you'll note that warmup as we get towards the middle part of the week. once again, it's kind of right here. the 91 will come in about 11 degrees above average and it is not all that dramatic, breaking records. but it's going to be noticeably warmer over here and fits the theme of how spikes and heat, they usually happen
11:17 pm
across the bay area. there is a lot more exaggeration for those inland valleys. that'll fit in perfectly with where the higher degree of risk is from the heat risk standpoint. and the national weather service, they have been using this for the past several years to help visualize and spotlight the places that are a little more at risk from the heat related health impacts. so we're looking at saturday's forecast. and we are also looking at the color code on here. look at all the places in orange. those are the inland valleys, inland alameda, up through santa clara valley. if you're in the orange, you're at a moderate level for heat related health impacts by saturday. let's take a look at what the impact highs will be by the time we get there. we'll do that bay area wide first, spotlighting two locations. we did the 103 for concord. we did the 89 for san jose. this is friday. saturday is technically the hottest day. but by friday, we are already pretty close. it will be 99 in santa rosa that day and 79 in
11:18 pm
oakland. for comparison, here is tomorrow. look at difference on the shading. this is going to be a little warmer than today as we start that warmup tomorrow, but gradual. you don't notice a whole lot just yet. the big pattern working against us. you never do when these impressive centers of high pressure set up. you don't see it on the satellite, so you have to visualize how that will evolve. if you look at that water vapor, a weird looking yellow blotch over us. that'll show you that the atmosphere has dried out as you could see them developing, going up and over us. this is where we could see that set up developing. look at the actual air temperature in the atmosphere about 3,000 feet high. the best way to see how the air will be transported. you see the big blob over arizona and texas? watch it move over our way. by saturday, now with that level of the atmosphere, we've got pretty warm air right over us. we're not going to get that kind of heat that arizona and
11:19 pm
texas is getting from us. you've heard there's been some significant heat there. we're going to be impacted by the same system. san francisco and oakland, 80 degrees, it's not headline news for oakland. you're nowhere near record. that's not quite the same. san jose, look at your numbers, 91 on saturday. we would look at that 105 here on saturday already and look at the beaches. there's your classic micro climates setting up. guys, back over to you. biden is in europe to discuss the climate change, but the decision is overshadowing the trip. and the soccer stars in the bay area. >> it felt like there were 60,000 people here.

11:24 pm
engage in the defensive that's under attack. >> if the war is going on, then we're russia, that's never the case. >> reporter: and to help ukraine fight that war, the president made what he calls the difficult decision to provide cluster munitions, the canisters that were filled with a large number of the small bombs, dropped over the wide area. >> i think that they will need them. they are running out of the ammunition. >> reporter: they should never be the solution. >> they don't always immediately explode. children can step on them. that's never the line to cross. >> reporter: on face the nation, the ambassador said they are necessary and they vow that they would not use the weapons in civilian populated areas. >> there is nothing controversial about it, fighting on the territory. >> and biden, he will end his trip in finland, which just
11:25 pm
joined nato in april, saying he is optimistic that they will be next. but turkey is standing in their way, failing them, saying they consider them terrorists. after the break, entertainment and the workers have gone on strike. more might be to come. we will tell you how this could impact you at home next.
