>> 8.14 here on this saturday morning. time for another check of our weather forecast has. i'm hoping that the haze just kind of packs his bags

and get out of here. but dave says it's going to stick around this looks like we're going to have to deal yet another day of that. good morning. well, everybody, we do have a front, though, that will help out of the cleaning can accrue coming here. >> that will be a little bit later on. so just be a little patient for that to get through the weekend there. we have the haze and the fog kind of hanging out there. the east bay shoreline as you'll notice they are in clear view and meanwhile, the golden gate bridge we can make out the 2 towers so it's not that bad, but it's pretty much of an overcast scenario at least to start the day temperature check. we got a lot of 60's in the east bay up to the north bay. 57 santa rosa 62 san jose, 60. meanwhile, 4 san francisco. there's the low. this is kind of like a film. we've seen already low here. cold front there. good news is we shouldn't get too much the way of an offshore event post. it that just blew all the smoke back into our area again. so it looks like that won't happen. plus. there's kind of another reinforcing system midweek, but it's pretty much going to stay to the north. so it's direct impact on us. just a laser heating. but watch the knicks about 48 hours going forward

with this now, remember, this is summer. so in the sierra we should see the afternoon showers and thunder showers. anybody wake over here. nothing going on. thank you. frontal system clearing things out on the morning hours. we have to contend with the fog in the cloud cover and all of that. that will continue. of course and very strong. it will be with some coastal drizzle possible. with that. ultimately, though high in the southern plains will rebuild. they're familiar high and away those temperatures go by the end of the week. so looking ahead of things this weekend. it's early bay, fog hazy skies, although sunday will be better cooler lower 80's going on well, inland, 60 ish around the bay and coast. then mostly sunny mild start for early in the week. 70's cover the bay 80's well inland. and then for the latter portion of the week here. we do it near 100 as expected as early as thursday for some of those far east bay locations and up county and solano county as well. high temperatures today, 63 san francisco 67 oakland 75 checking in for san jose, but very reduced and muted

temperatures. today we got the lower 80's far in east bay, 67 napa 73 santa rosa coming a little bit. of course, we'll have that 4 zone forecast going to check in the extended and we have some tropical talk to talk about because it's affecting really all over the east coast. well, thanks, dave. >> tensions are rising in haiti as the government struggles to get some much needed aid to those who need it following a massive earthquake that hit one week ago in some areas crowds of people have overwhelmed the aid trucks. some people have fought with workers trying to distribute the food and they've grabbed bags on their own. instead, the 7.2 magnitude quake left thousands homeless and they've been sleeping outside or in makeshift tents ever sense frustrations have risen there. but the government says some areas are not accessible because of the disaster supplies must be brought by boat or by plane instead. in the meantime, another big story we're following this morning is the chaos and

confusion in afghanistan. president biden vowing to make sure every american and afghan ally will be safely evacuated from the war torn country during an address to the nation on friday, the president said the u.s. had already extracted 13,000 people in 5 days. however, the president admitted his administration doesn't know exactly how many americans remain in afghanistan in the meantime, a video of an american soldier seen lifting an infant over a barbed wire topped wall at an airport in kabul has given the world a grim picture of just how in need people are for help. this happened as large numbers of afghans remained outside the facility, hoping to evacuate from the country. some good news, though. the pentagon says this baby that you see in that video has been treated at a region hospital and has returned to its father and is safe. new details, though, of pictures showing massive flight evacuations from a few

days ago are just astonishing to see an updated count of passengers reveals 823 people were on board this flight. the previous tally did not include nearly 200 children. i mean, the flight set a record for the largest single flight evacuation nearly 6,000 u.s. troops are assisting in afghanistan now. and this morning more reinforcements are coming from another federal agency markie. martin reports. >> the humanitarian crisis along the u.s. mexico border is some 8,000 miles away from the one in but some border patrol agents could be deployed to the middle east to assist in emergency evacuations it remains unclear how many border patrol agents have been asked to relocate. but today a u.s. customs and border protection spokesperson telling news nation this cbp did solicit for a small number of volunteers from us border

patrol who have a background in vetting and processing to assist cbp officers overseas. the assistance of border patrol agents overseas will not affect the cbp mission on the southwest border. this is not the way you run. >> homeland security is not the way you want border security. victor avila is a former supervisory special agent with ice. he says he believes in the mission of extracting americans and friendly's from kabul. but with more than 210,000 illegal border crossings in july alone. he believes it's the wrong time to pull agents off their posts. they've been overwhelmed for months. talk about not being affected. they need more help down there. they need more bodies. they need more equipment. they need a lot more resources. and so if you take 1, 1, border patrol agent away. that's going to that's going to hurt them. cbp also confirming that the department of homeland security has already deployed personnel from cbp ice and tsa took cutter. >> to conduct screening to bring vetted afghans to the

united states. >> that was markie. martin reporting for us this morning. you can find much more coverage of everything that's unfolding in afghanistan. our website kron 4 dot com scan. the qr code that you see on your screen. it will take you straight to our web page. >> you can read about what's next for the country along with local reaction and where you can get help for loved ones. >> stick with us. the crime for morning news continues of the game. one of the bay bridge series between the giants and the a's. this time at the coliseum. kylen mills has all the highlights coming up after the break.

insurance companies had a cheered. put your boat. it's safer. that's time which can occur. and it's cheaper for them in the long run. when hurricane sandy came true. half a million votes were damaged. >> the last time the region have a direct hit from hurricane was exactly 30 years ago this thursday when bob a category 2 storm killed 17 people. now dave spahr is standing by in the weather center. he's tracking that hurricane. dave, what's it looking like right now. in terms of half, it is up maintaining at least it's minimal hurricane status, if you will, so it's category one max winds at 75 pretty low pressure to release decently low. a lot of weather associated with it in a quick mover. it is. >> now. it looks like long island is going to hit first with all of this going forward. so that would be about sunday morning. our time. their time. everybody's time. looks like max winds at 80 soul increase ever so slightly in strength. but at

that point that's when you heard about striking new england. looks like the next step would be a strike into connecticut and they as we speak, have hurricane warnings posted for long island and also for coastal connecticut. and then they get hit by the westerly ease and away. he goes. max winds at about 40 all the way on monday. as you can see, losing a lot of juice as it's in near colder waters colder land and all that. so it's going to be a quick-hitting storm. that's the good news is going to move on through real real quickly and unlike sandy which happened in 2012. this is not being combined with another system off the continent. so doesn't pose as much of a threat as that super storm certainly. meanwhile, we have grace stuff and now tropical storm we talked to last hour was a hurricane but tropical storm max winds of 70 over central mexico with that kind of terrain. it's a surprise even held together like this. so a lot of that juicy air mass is producing heavy rains in central mexico. as you will see. next question goes west. we know it's going to weaken, as you will see. but it exit

the pacific in this part of the pacific is very warm. as you probably know. and that's what tropical systems like and going ahead, something looks develop. so this is being watched by the hurricane center out on the pacific side to see what pops out. good news from our standpoint this all stay south. so it's going to be throwing it into the southwest in terms of giving more moisture mid to lower for most of the east bay 57 chilly degrees. santa rosa 62 for san jose. 60 san francisco. there's sfo. no delays this morning. it doesn't look like even though it is going to be quite hazy. here's the first front helping us out secondary one doesn't do too much. but you know, trapeze is on its way towards the north. by the way, the good thing about this first system that's moving through. unlike its predecessor. we're not going to get as much in the way of offshore winds here as a and some parts of the northwest are going to get some of that. there are some red flag warnings posted up there and the rockies 63 san francisco along the coast will do the lower 60's. bayside. it's a

one of the colleagues came forth and said i have an idea. how would you like to work to name a rename a street. obama boulevard and we said, of course it was a bit. you know, we just went right back to same kind of spirit that we had when we work to the lectern. so was it was a fit. so we began to find out how to do it, how to make it happen. so we work with city officials here in san jose. and they gave us the recipe are the directions which involved a a process that the city uses and they had news what used to for a while. but we were informed of the process and we've got to work. we've got to work and initially we did a lot of coalition building. our numbers are small. then i believe the helm, helen, the chair was behind me was she was president. the person that brought the idea forward. alex

shore and i was the 3rd persons to join the group and this group was small. so we had to solicit helped from my other colleagues to get them on board because we need we need a lot of people to do some. the we had with some pounding the pavement. yeah. we had to actually. contact every property owner of most of the property owners in this area affected and we had to go to corporations. we had and we had really had reach out work going to churches festivals and into the community to build the coalitions that we needed to support us. and from there we began to raise money and then we after we rates 10,000 which side to look at what we do in terms of a clerical. but what we do in terms of process on the state level. so we began to work with a city council. people here in san jose. the mayor and luckily, i don't know this stars all lined up for we didn't have a we was 0

opposition. well, it was awesome to support that we got from. property owners. the corporations. yeah. we actually knocked on doors and talk to the renter the renters in the all of those. so it was smooth sailing. cemented smooth sailing. and today you guys are right now celebrating all of these accomplishments. you guys have an event planned. it starts at. >> 9.30. and begins at the intersection here. what was montgomery park and autumn and there will be a walk through the newly named streets and it will lead all the way too. the s ap center and not walk begins at 11:00am anyone is invited to come on down. we made the organizers just ask that people bring a in hand. of course we're going to have more for you guys later in the show. noel, back to you. alright camila definitely was a lot of work for them.
