The sun rise glimmering on the way from our sutro tower camera as we look east on a sunny sunday morning. Thank you for starting it with us. Im kira klapper. Cinthia pimentel joins us with a quick look at the forecast. What a great way to start the day. But of course, fog is behind you. We just take a little mental picture there of that beautiful way to start our sunday around the bay area. That dense fog hanging closer over the golden gate bridge. Look at the visibility right there in Half Moon Bay down to less than half a mile. Watch as we go into our inland valleys. Were in the mid 60s. San jose and livermore, and 66 in vacaville. Indicative of a very warm day ahead. 90s and triple digit heat over the next couple of days. And it wont be the high temperatures but more about what its bringing with it, the elevated fire danger as the breezes push out west. So ill g guide y you thrhrough in a couple of miminutes. Cicinthia, ththanks. New thihis morning. G. Wowow, thihis v video shohowing earlrly morningng sideshohows i north anand east bayays.

No word on any arrests. We turn now to a heartbreaking update from hawaiian officials on what is now the deadliest wildfire in modern u. S. History. The death toll on maui has climbed overnight to 93 people. While some 1,000 remain unaccounted for. Crews are still working in hopes of finding victims and survivors of the three fires that have torn through the island. We have a look at the very latest. The lahaina fire, the biggest one we have been talking about, the west maui wildfire is now 85 contained. Thats the same as was recorded yesterday morning. The south maui wildfire was declared 100 contained yesterday. And the Upcountry Maui wildfire is holding on at 50 containment. So far, more than 14,000 people have been given a place to stay in makeshift shelters in nearby hotels. Some 2200 structures and buildings have been destroyed, most of them homes. Maui county officials are estimating the losses could total as much as 6 billion. The governor of hawaii yesterday acknowledged this unimaginable scope of tragedy and predicts it will take a long time to recover. But he says they will rebuild. So the next few days, as we characterize how many people we have lost and how many people that are coming into the community, its going to be, in the short term, heartbreaking, in the longterm people are going to need Mental HealthCare Services and well rebuild together. Officials are defending that initial response when the fires ignited tuesday, saying even if the warning sirens were functioning, flames moved so quickly, there wasnt much they could do differently. Hawaiis attorney general says her department will review the response and policies that were in place prior to, during, and after the fire. The cause of that massive lahaina fire remains under investigation, and now the states electric utility is under scrutiny. Residents have filed a lawsuit against hawaiian electric, which provides power to 95 of hawaiis residents. The suit claims the company should have shut off power after the National Weather service issued warnings of all the high winds and extreme fire danger. Hawaiian electric did not use a Public Safety power shutoff plan, which a number of states, including here in california, now use to cut fire risks. That utility in hawaii has not responded to the suit. We have heard so many harrowing stories about people fighting to survive those fastmoving flames in lahaina. Marianne favro spoke with one woman who said she spent several hours in the ocean clinging to a sea wall. Reporter emily says it was the sound of dozens of smoke alarms going off that alerted her to the flames headed to her apartment. Reporter she grabbed a few belongings and jumped in her car. It was pitch black. I had my headlights on. I couldnt even see one inch. Reporter but she hit gridlock as people abandoned their vehicles and tried to outrun the flames. I left my bird behind in the car, which breaks my heart, and i jumped over the sea wall. Reporter for hours, she and dozens of others clung to a rock wall or waded in the ocean, including 19yearold noah tompkinson, brother and mom. I was just trying to survive. I was in survival mode, thats it. Reporter ann says she could barely breathe in the thick, black smoke and then things got worse. Cars started exploding, one by one. It was so scary. The whole ground would shake. Reporter sadly, her elderly neighbor did not survive. After several hours in the cold water, they were finally rescued. Now shes living in a shelter, taking on a new fight to improve the Emergency Alert system. We should have gotten an alert. We should have had something telling us to evacuate. Because people were dying in front of me. Reporter marianne favro, today in the bay. Some are staying on maui to help. Volunteers are helping hand out food, water, and other essential items, making and updating lists of what people need, ensuring no one is forgotten. Were doing it as one big family. Thats our mission, just to support the people who need it. Volunteers have begun stockpiling gas, propane, clothes, diapers, and other supplies that will be needed in the coming week. We posted a list of verified organizations that are collecting donations on our website. Just go to nbcbayarea. Com and at the top, on our trending bar, click on how to help maui. Happening today after being trapped for a week in west africa, missionaries from a Bay Area Church will be celebrated. The Mission Group from Corner Stone Church in antioch went to niger for a trip to spread their faith. But a government coup prevented the group from leaving the country. Thanks to the help of the u. S. State department, everyone made it back home safely. The pastor tells us they will have a welcome home Celebration Service at 10 00 a. M. This morning for the missionaries and their families. Firefighters made quick work of this brush fire in the east bay. It worked around 10 30 late last night on collier cannon road in new livermore hills. Firefighters say forward progress was stopped. Crews put a line around the fire. It burned around at least 15 acres. No word on whether any structures were damaged. Were also tracking this fire in the south bay. It sparked late last night among mt. Hamilton road. This isnt far from the grandview restaurant in san jose. Were told it burned ten acres. No word on whether any structures were damaged in this fire, as well. On thursday, you may have heard a state ruling expanded robo taxi operations in San Francisco and part of San Mateo County. Just days later, people in San Francisco reported a big traffic jam involving crews and selfdriving cars. It happened in San Francisco right around outside. Take a look at this video from friday night just before 11 00 p. M. In north beach. People saw around ten crews selfdriving taxis stuck at an intersection, trapping other cars and drivers, as well. The San Francisco board of supervisor president said he was flooded with complaints. That came the day after the California Public utilities allowed them to expand their robo taxi operations in San Francisco and San Mateo County to 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I think that gavin newsom needs to do something about this before somebody gkilled. This traffic jam happened the same weekend as outside lands. Crews said a large festival posed wireless band width constatements, causing delayed connectivity to our vehicles. We are investigating and working on solutions to prevent this from happening again. Just shy of 7 11 right now. Much more ahead. Coming up, well go live to coming up, well go live to washington, d. C.

Lets bring in chuck todd, nbc news political director and moderator of meet the press. As always, thank you for joining us this morning. You had the opportunity to talk with trumps former Vice President , mike pence. It is widely believed that pence will testify against trump. Did you talk about that at all . Was he able to tell you what hes planning to do . Well, look, he continues to say hes just told what he told the truth and how he seen it. I asked him specifically, in fact, the anecdote that he asked him to violate the constitution. Donald trump denied that. Mike pence said what he said is the truth. So we will see how that plays out when or if he ends up on a stand. Im more curious to see how does mike pence articulate all this on a debate stage . Its one thing in an interview, one thing at the state fair. What does he say when he knows theres a whole bunch of people almost wanting to jump on him the second he talks about it. Thats the moment im going to be fascinated to watch, how mike pence navigates this on a debate stage when the question is asked. Thats a great point. We look forward to your interview, and we look forward to the debate stage, as well. Chuck, as always, thanks for ha preview this morning. We hope you join chuck for this mornings meet the press.

New video capturing the chaos at the Westfield Topanga mall near calabasas. Police say 30 to 50 people swarmed the store at the same time. Some thieves used bear spray on security guards. The Massive Group got away with about 60,000 to 100,000 worth of luxury items. So far, police have not made any arrests. And unwind in downtown san jose. The annual summer jazz fest returned friday night, taking over the park and a number of streets downtown. That was the sole rebels, a band out of new orleans. The festival has been bringing jazz to downtown san jose for more than 30 years. And this years event also coincides with the 50th anniversary of hiphop. The festival, unfortunately, wraps up today. If you cant make it to the jazz festival, here are other events you can attend. Good morning, kira. Lets get this party started, or continued with day two here in San Francisco. Were celebrating food, family and culture with eight pavilions devoted to our heritage, innovation, sports, and theyre going to Showcase Live performances of all types, local artisans and the opportunity to help others discover filipino heritage and traditions. But instead of reinforcing that, some folks might want to focus on a culture of demolition. So we go to the Demolition Derby. At the fair grounds in santa rosa, theyre sporting monster trucks, just basically Demolition Derby in general. Sounds like its describing the morning commute, right . We hope not. And schools kicking in around the bay, some are kicking in for kids. We have kutz for kidz where kids are eligible for a free haircut and backpacks there at the barbershop in san jose on santa clara street. Ill be tracking your commute tomorrow morning. Ill be here on today in the bay. Mike, see you tomorrow morning. Trending this morning, dunkin coffee may be a big part of our mornings, and the drinks are reportedly getting a new twist for the nighttime. The chain is set to release a line of spiked coffee and teas. The Company Reportedly received approval for the new labels called dunkin spiked. Dunkin donuts has been in the alcohol beverage game. A website for dunkin spiked has been launched but no release date announced. Time now to check in with Cinthia Pimentel for a look at the forecast. I dont know, i dont know. Oh, my gosh. Its so beautiful behind us. Lets move on from the spiked coffee and look at the beautiful sun rise. For the evening hours, ill stick to an espresso martini. Not sure about that in a can. Lets see whats going on with our weather, starting off with dense fog over pacifica in the mid 50s. Give yourself extra time to head out the door. Mid 60s this afternoon with a mix of sun and clouds. Look at dublin, already seeing pacificas daytime highs at this hour, and were going to warm up for your lunchtime hour near 90 degrees by the time we go to 1 00, 2 00 p. M. But were in for a very warm day around the bay area. Well see the 90s in our inland valleys. 94 in livermore. 95 in morgan hill. 70s and 80s around the immediate bay, and 71 in San Francisco for the last day of outside lands. But thats not the temperature that were keeping an eye on closely. Its more so of whats happening over the sierra. Look at that picking up on some lightning strikes, as this low pressure continues to turn, and possibly getting closer to the bay area. All of that moisture, spinning around that low pressure thats been hanging tight over southern california. So you could see those high clouds passing on through, making the conditions feel more muggy, struggling to go outside later in the afternoon. Really, aside from the temperatures and possibly the thunderstorms is the lightning concerns. The blue squares that you see on your screen really coming closer to the bay area. So by tonight, we could see showers down here in the south bay. When you hear thunder roar, go indoors. As we go on through the late hours of tonight, Early Morning commute hours, could see some wet roadways, and really those blue little squares start to come a little closer. Were seeing some over the mt. Hamilton area, through the north bay mountains, and still heavy activity over the sierra. Thats what we are watching right now, mixed in with the high temperatures, the breezy conditions in the mid to upper levels of the atmosphere, could be a potential of some wildfires sparking around the bay area. So thats what we need to be mindful of over the next few days. Well keep an eye over whats developing monday into tuesday. I think tuesday will be the hottest day where we start to see some of the triple digit temperatures out there in fairfield, possibly concord, and down through the santa clara valley. By wednesday, we are seeing the high temperatures stick around. So drink lots of water, be fire safe and aware. I dont see any cooling coming our way in there in the north bay into the weekend. A lot going on. Almost 100, wow. All right, cinthia, thanks for the warning. Just shy of 7 22. Much more ahead on today in the bay. Coming up, a giants losing streak hits four in a row. Why they struggled to score against their former general manager and the texas rangers, despite hitting two home runs. Sports is next. Introducucing togoss new frech dip p sandwicheses.

They have lost four in a row, after falling to the rangers. This is cool. Two legends, barry bonds welcomes bruce bochy back. Giants in the 4th, this is roped to right. Its a solo home run, cutting the lead in half. But bochy has the rangers ready to play. They banged out 16 hits and beat the giants 93. The giants were just 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position. They will try to avoid the sweep later today. Deep right center, going back as garrett looks up, and its gone brett rookers 19th home run of the season gives the as a 21 lead over the nationals.

Trey lance will start under center while brock purdy sits this one out. Sam donald will play in the second half. Every snap counts for both quarterbacks. Lance and darnold are in a battle for the backup job. As for purdy, if and when he plays in the preseason is up in the air. I think well get to that point. I dont think theres a necessity to do it like this week or anything like that. So getting my 11 on 11 reps at practice, getting my timing and everything down with the receivers as a whole. So the 49ers will take on the raiders this afternoon at 1 00 in las vegas. Thats a look at the morning sports. Im Anthony Flores for today in the bay. Its 7 26 right now. Much more ahead on today in the bay. Coming up, work continues as they try to recover victims and search for survivors on the island of m
