He was an oakland native with bright career ahead of him. The tributes pouring in this morning for euphoria star angus cloud. We have cool and cloudy weather for the next couple of days a lot different compared to yesterday with a late week warmup around the corner. So much to talk about it and ill break it down for you coming up in the first alert forecast. Heading out the door the tuesday morning, we are dealing with a couple of high wind advisories including one at the altamont pass, we have the drive times coming right up. Good morning and it is 6 00 a. M. On your tuesday morning. Heres our view from our Black Mountain camera. Look at that. Beautiful. Beautiful sunrise right there. The yellow skies just for us. That we can only see on our camera. Exactly. I mean the whole Santa Clara Valley you see it and just blanketed with that marine layer this morning. And its doing to feel a lot cooler this afternoon. You are going to notice it when you head home from work, the 90s we had yesterday its going to be 80s for us all throughout the inland east bay. So lets dive straight into the forecast right now. Like i just mentioned we saw blanket of clouds really filling the Santa Clara Valley. This morning. That will pull back later into this afternoon. And but we still see the high clouds sweeping through the whole bay heading into the evening hours tonight and come in and out but really that dense fog holds on tight to the coastline. Cool and cloudy as low pressure moves in giving us a nice break the heat dome still really impacting everyone down in the southwest. Daytime highs today are sitting below average pretty much everywhere in the bay area with san rafael being the exception. Two degrees above average today. Two degrees below average over in antioch as that system moves its way in. So really that leaves us sitting in the 50s for now. Just near san jose. Were going to warm up into the 60s by 8 00 and 70s this afternoon and yesterday we were in the 80s. Today the warmest its going to get is 75 degrees throughout san jose. Now lets take a quick look at whats going on later this week though for our friends in concord i mean today were sitting in the 80s and beautiful mild weather throughout the midportion of the week. But then we have a late week warmup light around the corner as the heat dome begins to build in. Thats going to get us into the triple digits as soon as sunday. So were going to get closer to where the southwest is of course still dealing with that battling heat anywhere from i mean phoenix ranging up into vegas. Were going to have more on that in a bit for now over to you. Joyce lidge. All right, thank you jess. Start off with how things are looking for the scoop chuters. We have a high wind advisory in effect for the altamont pass. It is already 51 minute drive from 20 over to 680. But if you are going to be heading through there, just keep that in mind again theres a high wind advisory. Just be extra careful there. We do have an update from chp there is a Traffic Alert and brush fire on 980 eastbound. This is west of 14th street near oakland. The off ramp is closed. Just expectsome delays in and around that area. We are also dealing with that accident the right hand she would receiver blocked because of a crash on 880 southbound. This is at 98th avenue exit. Just expect some delays there as well. And at the san mateo bridge things are busy heading westbound. 13 minute drive from 880 over to 101. Amanda . Well, happening today thousands of city workers in san jose could vote to go on strikethis week over failed contract negotiations. This could impact places likely bay areas, summer camps and even flights at San Jose International airport. Justin andrews is live in san jose where city workers voting begins today to approve this strike. Justin, what are they fighting for . Reporter well, yeah, Union Members are asking for a 7 increase when it comes to their pay next year. And theyre also asking for city leaders to meet them where their need is. If that need is not met, the Union Workers say they will indeed be striking over the next several days. Again, they are asking for that 7 increase but the potential strike could be a big one and the mayor mahan says this should be taken extremely seriously. The two unions represent more than 4500 City Employees from 911 dispatchers to Library Workers and airport staff. The citys latest offer is 5 raise for the 2023 2024 fiscal year. The unions are demanding 7 increase as i mentioned. Both say unless there are lastminute changes to their demand they are ready to strike. Contracts for the city workers expired on june 30th after both unions spent months negotiating with the city. We talked to some of these workers a few weeks ago i should say. Listen in. Everything is very expensive here. I mean, were san jose is constantly in the top you know, whatever, of areas that are expensive. For housing, food costs, all sorts of things. Me personally, i have to depend on somebody else. Our coalition of unions representing 34500 employee who are out there right now working without a contract. Theyre not their future is not certain and theyre unaware of what their wage increases are going to look like. Theyre unaware of what futureworking conditions are going to be. Reporter and again, that voting begins at 7 00 this morning. I believe theres some people out here setting up that voting booth here shortly. Probably more detail and background on what theyre doing up here as they set up the voting booth. All right, justin. A lot to come of this. All right, thanks so much.

Our top stories now. The preliminary hearing for the man accused of stabbing cash app founder bob lee continues today in San Francisco. Lengthy hearing that will determine whether theres enough evidence to send knee moe me men knee to trial. That along with dna and other evidence from a bloody knife his new florida based legal team spent the day trying to poke holes in the case. What were doing right now issetting the scene for what kind of police work was done and what the limits of that police work are. And we do wonder why some people werent interviewed and some things werent collected. Some things werent analyzed. So this is just setting the scene. None of this is anything that is really contested. Prosecutors argue me men knee menned that attack and stabbed him after a dispute regarding his sister. He has pled not guilty to those charges. Well, x no longer marks the spot of the Company Formerly known as twitter. The new sign elon musk put up on friday to signal the platforms name change already gone. Neighbors immediately complained last week. The city followed saying the Company Never pulled a permit to put it up or take it down. Inspectors were denied access to the roof of the three times by employees who said the sign was temporary. 6 09. All right, were a little bit ahead. It is experts say covid surge could hit the u. S. This summer. We get the advice of a do on how you can protect yourself right now. And plus, you might be tires of all that plane noise over palo alto goli, taste your goals. All right, check this out. High winds and hot temperatures created this vortex of fire in the Mojave National preserve. The wind pushed the fire as high as 20 feet in the air charring tens of thousands of acres of shrub, juniper and californias famous joshua trees. Firefighters are working to get a handle on this york fire burning near the nevada state line. So far, it has burned 125 square miles with no containment. And that smoke is blowing towards las vegas. This the look at the gray skies from our cbs station there. Despite how it looks the air quality is listed as moderate. Lets get check on the weather back here in the bay area. It does not feel like it at all here. I mean yesterday was out with my friend just on her back patio. It was cool and it was breezy and it was even a little cloudy. 60s i mean what a difference it makes just as you head to the southwest right now with all the recordbreaking heat. And within the past 30 days, that recordbreaking heat has been impacting the whole southwest especially arizona. Overnight lows for weeks on end were sitting in the 90s with daytime highs not breaking 110 for 30 days straight. Thats still the case for us as theyre dealing with that heat dome and i mean today alone, 108 degrees down in phoenix and 102 in palm springs. So fortunate to have the onshore flow. Keeping us nice and cool with daytime highs below average with the low pressure. Were talking about five, ten degrees below average no matter where you live in the bay area today. Except san rafael that was the only one exception when i was looking at models this morning. But seriously i mean it. Were below average along the coastline just in the 60s. 70s down into the Santa Clara Valley. 84 today over in pittsburg and 81 in fairfield. This is a nice break for us. Were dealing with this cool little stretch of forecasts from today all the way into our thursday forecast. But then it changes as we head into this weekend. Lets talk about that too. Like i said below average pretty much everywhere actually now san rafael is agreeing with us. But heading into next six to ten days. The Climate Prediction Center is showing above normal temperatures as the heat dome stretches into the california coastline. You notice it a lot once we head more inland. You will see it also in San Francisco too. I mean were talking about 60s today quickly turning into 70s by this weekend. Lot of sunshine for everyone and i mean you are going to feel it in San Francisco. You are going to notice it even along the coastline. The warmest temperature though going to be the inland east bay. Today only in the 80s and even dip down in the low 80s tomorrow and 82 degrees just to jump all the way to 104 by this weekend. Lots of changes in the forecast for us. The atmosphere is kind of playing this back and forth game. Cloudy skies today and tomorrow and then plenty of sunshine into this weekend. With 80s quickly turning into 90s for anyone who lives up in the north bay. Were going to see a similar trend even down into the Santa Clara Valley. Lots of changes in the forecast for us and enjoy this nice cool weather today. This is dog walking weather. This is bike riding weather. Jocelyn, whats your Favorite Outdoor activity on a cool day like today . You mentioned dogs, jess. My dog will be really upset with me. Be sure to do that. Let talk about how the roadways are looking for our supercommuters. We have high wind advisory in effect and weve been talking about that. Drive time for our supercommuters about 57 minutes from 205 over to 680. But again, just be extra careful through there with the wind advisory there. Talk about this accident. This is on 80 westbound east ofsonoma boulevard near vallejo. We are already seeing the delays there. At the bridge theres also a high wind advisory in effect. So just be extra careful as you drive through there as well. Over at the bay bridge, the metering lights are now on. You are looking at about 15 minute drive from there all the way to the city. And the golden gate bridge, things moving smoothly in both directions. Little bit of visibility issues there. 20 minutes from highway 37 over to the bridge. Well, sfo is hoping new technology will cut down on plane noise over palo alto and menlo park. The airport will be using a gps transmitter to guide planes and airport Officials Say it is more powerful than satellites and will allow planes to fly higher over cities. Really the goal of this is to allow aircraft to fly at a higher altitude before theyey come in to land at sfo. Thats phase one. And then if the Technology Shows promise, maybe in the future, this would allow us to have aircraftfully a little further offshore. As they come in to land at sfo and essentially what that does is it takes our existing gps satellites and adds a greater level of precision. Well, the project will cost 11 million and is being privately funded. Amanda . This morning signs are pointing to a summer covid surge. According to the latest cdc reports indicators like hospitalizations and e. R. Visits and test positivity are up across the country. But experts say this surge is far less intense than those weve seen in the past. To just want to put that out there to begin with. Ucf Infectious Disease specialist is joining us live to talk about this and doctor. You know, i was talking to my girlfriend about a week ago and everyone got covid at a conference and i was shocked to hear this is now becoming a thing again. It is becoming a thing again. Amanda, i think its not this is the fourth consecutive summer weve had increasing cases. So it seems that it may end up being a summer tradition now unfortunately for covid. But nothing like the last three years. And probably nothing like whawe will see in the winter. So what do we know so far about this . And how intense is it and do we really need to be concerned . I think we need to be openminded. Not fearful. Its not the same covid from many people as in the last three years. However, some people are still getting very ill. And its important to recognize how to protect all of us, especially those who are older and 65 and those who are immunocompromised. What were seeing now is like you said, increase in test positivity and increase in e. R. Visits and increase in hospitalizations. But so far, im crossing fingers, not a increase in deaths you. Know. An increase is starting from a very low place. So to give you some perspective, today at ucsf, in the hospitals, we have about 18 patients hospitalized with covid. Over the last few weeks, it was hovering around ten but nothing like 100 like we had over the winter. Got it. So were seeing it kind of pop up. But not to an extreme level just yet. So where are we at with vaccines and paxlovid and also i heard possibly talk about another booster shot . Yeah, so in september, we will get another the updated covid vaccine. The cdc is not calling it a booster anymore because they wanted to simplify it. So it will just be once a year hopefully like the flu shot. Around september, although most people might get it depending on when the wave hits, in the winter. It will be based on xbb. It will be updated from the current, you know, ba variants that are in the available vaccine now. But for those over 65 and immunocompromised, given the surge, if you havent gotten it since last fall when it was first available. You should still go out and get it. For everybody else wait until the updated vaccine comes up. Who should be most concerned about there and who should be taking precautions . I think we should all be taking precautions because again, who wants to be out of vacation . Or work. But not, you know, i think prudent precautions. So that means that, you know, when you are traveling if you are escaping the outdoor heat, and you are gathering indoors, these are all reasons to think about just carrying a mask with you in case always washing your hands and remember covid is not the only virus around and you know, tests if you have symptoms. Particularly if you have somebody elderly or immunocompromised at home. And finally, for those folks, make sure that they know that they have access to paxlovid and early therapies. Because it can save you from going to the hospital. All right. A good headsup that this is going around just to be aware right now. Dr. Peter chin hong, thank you so much for your time. Some important reminders there. Time now 6 20. The niners ramping up activity at Training Camp. The key part of their defense still a noshow in santa clara. Plus, the clock is ticking toward mlbs trade deadline today. How the giants and breaking news right now. Of a massive fire in San Francisco. Take a look at this video from the citizen app. Its now a three alarm fire at the corner of octavia and oak streets in the hayes valley neighborhood. You can see just how bad it is burning there and just how quickly. It broke out just around 6 00 a. M. At what appears to be a building under construction. So a lot of wood there. San Francisco Fire Department and police are on scene and advising people to please avoid the area. We reached out to sffd for more info and we have a crew on the way to the scene. And well bring you the latest as soon as we arrive and again, breaking news. Three alarm fire at octavia and oak street in San Francisco. We have a crew on the way to the scene right now.
