3:02 pm
alert weather day. much of the bay area under heat advisory today. by the time it is done, some areas may get close to record high temperatures. here is first alert meteorologist darren peck. >> san jose may get close to the record and almost rake it tomorrow. tomorrow we will be in the mid-90s. it is 91 . let's backtrack. the heat advisory has already started. it includes today and tomorrow. it has the entire bay and it. if we look at where we are for current temperatures -- we are getting close to the daytime high. if you take a look at most of the bay, we are in the upper 80s, near 90. san jose at 88 today. close to 90. it is looking ahead to tomorrow where we see the headline. now we see the numbers climbing into the mid to upper 90s. pleasanton, 98 tomorrow. this is going to be the peak. the temperatures are going to cool down pretty dramatically in time for the weekend but there is one other item to discuss before we get to the weekend
3:03 pm
and that is on top of the heat advisory, look at the coast. this is a high heat advisory. this is the kind of weather that will make people go to the beach. the wave heights and the swells will be dangerous just as we are hitting the warmest temperatures. i will talk about that in the complete forecast. it is a question, if you live in california , you get asked every so often. did you feel it? today, many of you did feel it especially if you were in the east bay. the usgs's as a magnitude 4.1 earthquake at the delta before 9:30 this morning. it was centered near isleton, a 20 mile drive from antioch. the city manager of isleton says no reports of any real damage so far although people there definitely felt it. a liquor store employee says a few things fell off the shelves but others are glad the damage was no worse. >> earthquakes don't scare me accept the damage that they do.
3:04 pm
i have seen people lose their homes, everything. >> the usgs first recorded the quake as a magnitude 4.6 and it was downgraded to 4.1 a few minutes later but for many of you using the myshake app, it initially showed up as a 5.7 but the usgs says that is normal. >> the initial magnitude has to be estimated extremely quickly, within a couple of seconds of the earthquake starting in order to provide a useful alert to the population. >> the quake brought [ dog barking ] trains to a halt systemwide. 1x user posted this is so not the alert you want to get one riding department but says they did not feel it. it is normal for b.a.r.t. to stop trains to inspect the tracks after an earthquake. most of the posts we saw were from people who said they got the emergency alerts but did not actually feel in a shaking. if you got an alert today, that was not a drill but tomorrow
3:05 pm
morning, there is a drill planned. for the past week or so, emergency officials have been touring the state, spreading the word for the annual great california shakeout. if you have the myshake app, you should be getting a test alert at 10:19 tomorrow. now to the middle east where president joe biden is pledging $100 million for humanitarian assistance in gaza and the west bank. he is reaffirming the united states' support for israel. >> we are going to make sure that you have what you need to protect your people and defend your nation. >> president biden briefly visited israel as the u.s. ally continues airstrikes and prepares for a possible ground offensive against hamas in the wake of the terror group's brutal attacks. his visit came after that massive explosion at a gaza hospital. hamas blames
3:06 pm
an israeli airstrike but israel strongly denies it, releasing videos and other information it claims shows it was not behind the deadly blast. president biden is backing israel's denial, citing data from the u.s. defense apartment but also acknowledging the tremendous toll this war has already taken. >> you can't look at what has happened here to the mothers, fathers, grandparents, sons, daughters and not scream out for justice. justice must be done. i caution that while you feel that rage, don't be consumed by it. >> israel's prime minister says his country will not stop aid for mentoring gaza through egypt. humanitarian groups have been stockpiling supplies along the border but trucks have been unable to cross amid israel's airstrikes. it is unclear when the supplies will start flowing through.
3:07 pm
at that border between egypt and gaza, thousands of gazans are desperately trying to fully. why egypt may be hesitant to allow them in. >> reporter: the last exit out of gaza blocked. thousands of palestinians caught in a bottleneck at the gate, hungry, thirsty, and exasperated. among them, up to 60 u.s. passport holders according to the state department. >> i feel like i am betraying my family and my friends. i am leaving them behind. i don't know what will happen to them. i don't know if they will be okay. i don't know if i will ever see them again. >> reporter: on the other side, egypt where security forces fear they could be overwhelmed by human stampede says former egyptian lawmaker and israel expert. >> you have two choices. number one, to try to prevent this and
3:08 pm
shoot them. you must use arms. >> are you going to do that. >> the second choice is egypt can allow for them to enter. >> then there is no guarantee. >> there is no guarantee. >> he points to the millions of palestinians living in syria, lebanon, and jordan for decades, temporary camps turned permanent. egypt must also brace for potential violent extremists among the refugee crossing its border. this, after egypt in recent years waged war on the peninsula with its own jihadist insurgency, linked to hamas and right at the gaza border. a border with a vast network of tunnels used by hamas to feed its deadly
3:09 pm
arsenal. there was little to stop terrorists from blending in with civilians entering egypt, he warns. >> the egyptians will be afraid from this scenario. that is why egypt doesn't open the gate to pass the palestinians. >> despite egypt and israel biting repeated wars in the last century, the two countries now enjoy normalize relations. egypt has served as a peacemaker between israel and hamas in recent conflicts. for now, there is a plan underway to allow some gazans with foreign passports to go out in exchange for foreign aid to come in like these trucks idling in egypt. if israel and its neighbors work out the terms, israeli strikes targeting hamas continue including here at the border with egypt, killing civilians in the crossfire. >> more than 7000 miles from egypt, some students in the bay area are sending a message to the middle east and calling for
3:10 pm
a cease-fire in gaza. or chopper caught dozens of students in san francisco and berkeley before the walkout. a group of speakers were echoing the pleas from the students. >> as the daughter of an is really, as a jewish woman, as a human being, i say stop the madness, stop the killing. >> san francisco unified sent out a statement ahead of today's walkout saying while they support the students' right to peaceful protest, today's walkout was not a school sponsored event. the district also said they have seen a recent rise in anti-semitism. stay with us for continuing coverage out of the middle east. we will have the latest developments on air, streaming on the free cbs news app and on our website, www.kpix.com where you can find live updates. still ahead, cities and countries working toward solutions in the homelessness crisis but one east bay group is taking action now. they are reaching out to the unhoused through a hot meal and serving

february. meantime, violent crime in oakland is up 20% from last year. i asked the mayor how she plans to bring the number down without stability in the police department. >> you know, this is a process. i want to remind everyone that finding a police chief is not something that we want to rush into but we want to make sure we have a strong candidate. >> in her state of the city address yesterday, mayor hamas to set some upper public safety priorities include having more police foot patrols, hiring more dispatchers and adding hundreds of speed enforcement cameras. mayor hamas to set homelessness and affordable housing are also among her top priorities. across alameda county, they were more than 7000 people who are unhoused. the majority of them are living out of their rvs and cars. alameda county supervisors declared a state of emergency over rising homelessness a month ago and that move could bring in more funding and resources for housing and services down the
3:15 pm
line. one nonprofit is serving up some crucial help right now. we spent the day with the group and one of the county's hardest hit areas. >> this is a difficult one. this is one of the ones you never hear or talk about. >> reporter: this is deep east oakland. street after street lined with cars that haven't driven in years. >> every car that you see here, someone is living in. this is their home. this is where they reside. >> reporter: few people know this area better than doing beeman and candace elder. their nonprofit, east oakland collective has been showing up here every week to deliver something most people here can only dream of, restaurant cooked meals. no leftovers
3:16 pm
here. every meal has been carefully prepared just for them. today, it is a variety of sandwiches from a local institution. >> do you want tuna or turkey? >> reporter: no matter how much they bring, it never seems to be enough. >> food insecurity has exploded since the pandemic. we see more and more people hungry, more and more people don't have access to food. >> this is what i do when i go certain places. i honk the horn to get their attention. >> reporter: 50 years ago, east oakland was a thriving middle-class community. now, many of its streets look like war zones. alameda county's board of supervisors voted to declare a state of emergency after its homeless population jumped 22% since 2019. chad goodrich is an army veteran
3:17 pm
who has been living in his van with his dog poncho for more than a decade after a motorcycle accident left him paralyzed. >> is this your first meal of the day today? >> yes. my first meal in a couple of days, actually. >> reporter: with each week, the desperation here grows. what keeps them going is the look on people 's faces as they hand them a fresh meal. >> it is an awesome feeling. it is gratifying. >> reporter: serving up dignity on a plate. >> fresh fruit. >> reporter: with a side of hope . >> a powerful story there. more now on our first alert weather day. the heat could send a lot of people toward the water to cool off but along the coast, we could see some dangerous high surf. first alert meteorologist darren peck is tracking all of this for us. >> we were discussing where was it felt? did you feel it? we can plop it on a map if you are
3:18 pm
curious. these are all the places that felt it. you can see where the epicenter was, near isleton. in the lighter shades of blue, that tells you this was felt lightly to moderately but it was felt over a widespread area. a lot of it has to do with the fact of where this epicenter was. if we remove the did you feel at information and the magnitude and in the map that shows us where the earthquake faults are across the bay, you can see the san andreas here. there is the hayward. the closest fault on this map would be the greenbelt and that moved its way toward the east bay but this was not on that. this was on a known fault that picks up some of this movement called the midland fault. it sits out here through the delta and you could likely get a lot more ground shaking heading toward the east. more people likely felt this in california even though the magnitude was fairly weak. let's get back to the real headline, the heat advisory goes from now until tomorrow
3:19 pm
night and it has the entire bay included in it. here is the first take away. it will be pretty hot. we will see some records broken. the one that stands the most likelihood of getting broken is this one down here. in san jose when you go to 94, there will be a few others that get broken as well. we will be on the verge of 100 degrees in the tri-valley tomorrow. it is not just the heat advisory. we will be hitting peak warmth with this the same time we will get a swell coming across the pacific. we really need to think of this as a two cited issue. i am going to lighten the heat advisory for a moment because i want to focus on this strip along the coast. high surf advisory, which goes until tomorrow at 7:00, we can see 25 feet waves and that could come in the form of riptides and sneaker waves. bottom line is, this is the kind of weather that will make many people want
3:20 pm
to go to the beach and many of them will be unsuspecting of the risks involved here from all of the wave energy coming our way. if you know anybody who is lucky enough to have today or tomorrow often they are thinking of going to the beach, give them a heads up. the water will be dangerous. look at the storm out there. the way the atmosphere is working right now is, that storm has to go up and over us while we warm-up. there is a block right now over us, shielding us from the atmosphere side of the storm . what that storm already set in motion started 24 hours ago, a large swell that is working across the pacific which cannot be stopped and it is acting totally irrespective of what the atmosphere wants to do. they are two totally separate things which come together with unfortunate timing because we will have a pretty high risk at the beach on a day when a lot of people will want to be there. look where we will be on saturday. we have a dramatic cooldown coming. it is not just this spike in heat ending, it
3:21 pm
will come to an end in dramatic fashion. look at the daytime highs. in indy spay valleys, 93 today. by the time we get to saturday and sunday, you are 20 degrees cooler. there is a small 10% chance of rain on there as we get into sunday. we are not focused too heavily on that. the rain does not look particularly impressive. the cooldown certainly does. you are going from near 90 tomorrow in san francisco -- we could hit 90 in the city tomorrow. that is how you know we are in a heat wave. then it will be 67. that finishes up our microclimates. the northbay doing the same thing. san jose, we are all doing the same thing. >> soaking up the last few moments of summer. here is something you don't want to think about the next time you have to deliver to your door. a restaurant owner in long beach says this grub pub driver dug into his customer's food just moments after picking it up. the owner says he suspected something was
3:22 pm
up when the driver did not pull away after he handed him the order. he did confront the driver who told him it was just his lunch so he walked away but after checking the cameras, he realized his hunch was right. he called the customer and let them know what he saw. >> no good. not good. not good on our behalf, not good on grub pub's behalf. it makes us look bad. >> in 2019, the l.a. county board of supervisors consider looking into tamperproof delivery bags in response to similar incidents but no action was ever taken. grub pub says it has terminated the driver. still ahead, the 49ers looking ahead to monday night football. what is on tap for them against the vikings.
3:26 pm
the 49ers are on to the next after rending their winning streak. they are hoping to continue a different kind of streak. having won their last three monday night football match-ups. >> this is the volkswagen red and gold report. the 49ers have turned the page from sunday's loss in cleveland. it is now vikings week. everybody will be ready to go monday night on the field and in the broadcast booth. >> i am going full vikings this week to honor the minnesota vikings. i like to give the opponent a lot of respect. >> the vikings have no won at
3:27 pm
home this season. they lead the league in turnovers and will be without their star receiver, justin jefferson. tim ryan said to respect the opponent. kirk cousins leads the league in touchdown passes and daniel hunter, number one in sacks . a lot has changed for brock purdy, the number 14, since his last trip to minnesota. he was just trying to make the team when the 49ers were there last preseason. he was not at the top of my producer's list for postgame guest. >> mr. purdy has joined us, tape or live, what you want? they are saying hold tight, one second. 15 months later, he is qb one per the 49ers and starring in
