towards the sunshine state. thi is the view from the international space station, fueled by some of the warmest waters on earth, a dalia is expected to make landfall as a category four storm. the key is that people started feeling th impact about 12 hours ago. tonight more than half the counties in florida are under a state of emergency and more tha two dozen have stated evacuatio orders. >> people have to evacuate. they are going to run out of time. >> all that water has nowhere t go, so it will be bad for a lot of folks. >> if you do choose to stay in one of the evacuation zones, first responders will not be able to get to you until after the storm has passed. >> tonight, national guard members are standing by and tampa airport is shut down. further complicating matters is the supermoon which could make title flooding even worse. paul

forecasters are careful with ho they word things, and this kind of storm surge, when you hear things like on survivable, you know it is serious, and this is obviously a desperate situation for people there. >> you hear them words using catastrophic and you know that it is a big deal. it has actually strengthened even more with the latest update. the 11:00 update now shows it as a category three hurricane making its way towards the coast withi the next 12 hours. so let's tal about the details. we have idalia and we also have frankli in the corner of the screen. first time since 1950 that the atlantic basin has two hurricanes simultaneously with maximum sustained winds of over 100 miles per hour. idalia is the one that will impact land and the eye is becoming well defined. the more symmetrical the storm looks, the stronger the storm is. it has the 120-mile-per-hour sustained

winds but it will strengthen further as it makes its way towards the coast, making landfall just after sunrise on the east coast. that is around 8:00 tomorrow morning as a category four hurricane with 130-mile-per-hour sustained winds. everything flows counterclockwise around the storms, meaning that on the right side of the path it just grabs the top layer of the gulf of mexico and sends it on. that is what storm surge is. the fas forward movement of the storm means that as it moves inland and weakens it will still be hanging onto hurricane strength by the time it makes its way to the border between georgia and south carolina. still has 80-mile-per-hour sustained wind by tomorrow evening before weakening to a tropical storm but still with the threat of flooding and reins. let's talk about the storm surge that is going to be mainly in the big bend area of florida. all these red shaded areas have the potential for a over 12 foot storm surge and 15 to 16 feet i within the realm of possibility along the coast to the right of that center of circulation wher the winds are pushing the whole

top layer of the gulf of mexico towards the florida coast. we have our own problems around th bay area. we have a red flag warning and an error the advisory in effect as well. sara, i will come back and take another look at that with a loo at our forecast a little later on. yeah, back here at home, th bay area's first red flag warning in nearly two years. we talk about that in just a momen when paul returns. for now, some sad news tonight. a store worker who was beaten while trying to stop a shoplifter has died from his injuries. his daughter told us that he was working at the richmond market last week when shoplifter tried to steal beer. witnesses said johannes was holding a bat and tried to stop the person when the shop lifter took the bat and beat him with it. he died a few hours after w aired our story about him last night. there is a vigil planned for thursday night at 9:00 at the richmond market. tonight a peninsula survivo

is doing something almost unheard of in politics. he is admitting he was wrong, specifically about prop 47. the 2014 state law that made shoplifting under $950 worth of stuff a misdemeanor. >> i made a mistake. it was a big mistake. you have to acknowledge your mistake by doing this. what we have done i we are letting people take thousands and thousands of dollars, and why should people be subjugated? >> the supervisor is now callin for the law enforcement task force to tackle out-of-control retail crime. >> i think it is awesome! get the chp involved! whatever it takes, you know? >> just this weekend four peopl were arrested after stealing thousands of dollars in fragrances from a cosmetic stor . two were juveniles. tonight we get a whole new look at the pirate problem in the east bay. the ride along on the water where the thieves are

going after boats! and in the wake of the devastating fires in maui, lots of tourists have canceled their trips, but some locals are begging people not to. she is going from queen bee to mayor ahead of one of the most anticipated performances o the summer. the giants were one out awa from history tonight. did they make it or did they just miss?

imagine you tried to drop your kids off at school but get turned away by police. that is scary thought but that is what

happened for students and parents in oakland. the fbi spent much of the day on campus to investigate a bomb threat that was emailed to the school. police said the message had racial undertones. parents said the whole thing stemmed from an annual play date help for students of color. somehow the flyer ended up on reddit and that is when the threats began. >> to pull up and have my son rushed back to the car as if he was a target, it just made everything more magnified. i am at the point where i feel like everyone needs to know what is happening. >> some posts online expressed outrage that white kids were being excluded. for context, about 45% of the students at th school are white. the goal of the play date, the school said, was to create a space where aapi, black and brown families could create a sense of

belonging and inclusion. some boat owners in alameda say thieves have been stealing motors and sometimes entire boats. opd have been stepping u patrols on the estuary but they only have one full-time maritim officer and he is busy training 10 officers to expand the unit. until then he has this advice for boat owners. >> please secure anything of value. that includes small outboard motors because that is what these thieves are tending to take, is anything they can pick up by hand and glowed into an eight foot dinghy. >> pirates show up but they say that usually happens the middle of the night. the island of maui has been through hell. hundreds have los

everything. many tourists have canceled their trips. some don' feel comfortable vacationing there given that locals are still searching for loved ones but some hawaiian natives say they want tourists back here th islands of long depend on the tourism industry and the hawaii tourism authority says maui needs visitors now more than ever. >> there are businesses that right now have to make very har choices about staying open, about laying off employees, about furloughs and cutting hours and all those things. the best thing people can do right now to support the recovery is come visit. >> there is one caveat to that. the tourism authority asks that visitors steer clear of west maui were much of the devastation happened. right now the north bay mountains are under the first red flag in two years. eastern napa county is under alert for fire danger and pg&e's warning

that the area could see power shutoffs because of high winds. if it happens it would be the first time this year. you know, paul, we have been talking a lo about the delayed start to the fire season. we are starting to see a little bit of concern here. >> this is the first instance o offshore winds we have seen thi summer which is good. it is lat august and we have not had a problem with this just yet. it is better to be on the safe side. you don't want to be the spark that gets something going because the fire would spread i a hurry. let's get to the details of the warning. goes until 8:00 for eastern solano county and much of napa county. the wind gusts will be out of the north, potentially up to 40 miles per hour. they go downhil and accelerate and the humidity levels will be below 20%, in some cases below 10%. this is a environment that is ripe for a spark to grow before fire crews get a handle on it. we will see conditions improving later this week as temperatures drop off.

the northerly winds will bring another wave of smoke from northern california and quite a bit more extensive than the smoke we have seen elevated in the atmosphere. this is at ground level tomorrow and will deteriorate air quality as we head through the entire day. some signs that maybe it thins out a little bit on thursday, but i would count on readings i the unhealthy for sensitive groups category with air qualit both tomorrow and thursday, especially for the inland valleys. better air quality conditions by friday and saturday as a different air mas moves in. it will be a radical change by the end of this week as temperatures drop off a cliff. concord from the upper 90s to the low 90s but then a 1 degree drop. upper 70s in friday. temperatures gradually return to near average by labo day and next week but as the cooler air settles in the storm system bringing it towards us

also has enough energy and access to barely enough moistur to give us the outside chance o light rain shower in the bay area. if it happens it will be very brief, very light and ther will be more misses than hits. there is just a meager chance, but still a chance in early september which is not usually the case for the bay area. looking out from the mark hopkins hotel, temperatures ar still mainly in the 60s. still holding onto the 70s in santa rosa where you got into the 90s today. those temperatures will settle down into the 60s pretty much across the board by early tomorrow morning with cooler locations dropping into the mid-50s before we warm-up. it i also going to be pretty hot inland with temperatures in the 90s and the hottest spots getting up to 100 degrees. around the bay it will be warm. upper 60s along the coast. you get to stay in the air

conditioning. if you are headin out to levi's stadium for the renaissance tour, beyonc÷ takes the stage at 8:00. the gates open at 6:00. at that time the temperatures will drop into the 70s by the time the concert starts and then back into the 60s in the evening. temperature return to below average by friday before we returned to those near average readings by monday of next week. labor day looks like it will be really nice. more clouds friday and saturday with the cooler air rolling in and the outside chance of a shower or two frida night into saturday but that should help to improve the air quality. it should also help to scrub the air a bit. the hottes day further down the line? back up to 90 degrees for the hottes parts of the bay area next tuesday. we can handle that after the 100 degree high temperatures, but really it is that air quality and the potential for offshore winds leading to offshore wind conditions that have us concerned for tomorrow. >> prepare for the worst, hope

for the best and appreciative o this! >> labor day a whole different story. last labor day, parts of the east bay were 115 degrees. this is better! >> i would say a lot better. paul, thank you so much. the stage is nearly set in santa clara for one of the biggest concerts of the year. beyonc÷ is bringing her renaissance tour to santa clara tonight she has been named the city 's honorary mayor. they have also set aside a queen be key to the city. if they flew into san jose- minetathey were greeted with a giant art sculpture. people who came by got a photo with it for free. >> i hope that i can take it with beyonc÷ so that i could have a picture, but hopefully w can connect and collaborate.

the tennis center and the cloud could be coming from that direction. smoking weed in the stands at the u.s. open! >> i can remember the giants world series in 2010. the network people came in and ther was so much weed that they didn't know how to handle it! >> i wasn't in that cloud but i was here that you're living in san francisco. >> there used to be a campaign if there is magic inside. the giants are rubbing it all over them tonight because alex cobb had not thrown more than 117 pitches before tonight but this night was different! he had a hit that was changed to an error. he wrote a two seam fastball to within an out of a no-no! the reds were in alex cobb's house! check it out in the third inning! a chopper to third. gloves it and the throw

was too high. this play was originally ruled a hit and then changed to an error. bottom of the inning. when the giants way patrick bailey sends it to the wall and tj friedl could not squeeze it well enough. it dropped for a home run. san francisco took a 5-0 lead . a thinning. cole still with a no-hitter. watch them run from center field! what? did this remind anybody of the catch before the game? ninth inning. cobb on the brink of a no-no. spencer steer at the plate, drives one to right center just out of reach and the reds score the no-hitter is over but they let him stay in the game and finish it off. his eighth strikeout. 131 pitches and the

giants win their third straight game, 6-1 the final, and they overtake arizona for the final wild-card spot with 30 games left. >> i was not mad or sad. but s many things have to go right fo this to happen. i was thinking maybe it would be one of those nights, but still fun. in the meantime the a's bea seattle 3-1. in the nfl, lance is on the cowboys' roster now. a year ago he was the 49ers franchise quarterback! >> that conversation, you know, wasn't something i wanted to hear, but it is the reality of the situation. it is not how a lot of people expected to go. when i heard cowboys i had a bi smile on my face. i was excited

to be here. from that, to you, my friend, who would like to discuss the exciting life of jimmy garoppppolo! >> he flew withth the u.u.s. a force e thunderbirirds. check k out. you take off and it is s kind of cool. beforere you kno you can n look aroround. >> jimmy g pulled about nine a he managed to not pass out t barreled through . speaking of air travel, would you be willin to pay a premium not to sit nex to screaming babies? one airlin is betting on it. starting in november, turkish carrier corendon is adding an
