Temperatures today where they were yesterday and temperatures tomorrow continue to cool. So here are todays temperatures. Tomorrow in santa rosa down a few degrees. Temperatures down 5 degrees in concord and 4 degrees down in san jose. A trend of cooling which will be helpful for fire danger. Its been a warm week. We have had above average temperatures a couple of days of records and as we get into saturday and sunday, tomorrow, temperatures trend down. 90 degrees, a High Pressure center is responsible for that. Its big. 2,000 miles of coverage of this dome. Its a bowl of High Pressure over us. Thats why you have the fire danger in Southern California and up here. The red flag warnings in the record heat. You do see some fog up north. Thats a good thing. You see a little notch of the offshore winds here. But the fog up north is going to start to pull in tomorrow and the next day so that will begin the general cooling around here. Tomorrow a little cooler. That just continues that way through the bay area weekend. No fog to speak of. A nice looking forecast for your bay area friday already. Wow. 87 in napa. Thats right now. 91 in concord. 86 in walnut creek. Good air quality. You know, last week, remember that far back, we had horrible air quality with all the smoke from the fires. Thats not happening with beautiful air quality and light winds. Nice looking day. San francisco brings the fog back. Thats what that is. So this model, yeah there will be a little fog tomorrow morning. It is more like tomorrow night. There will be fog tomorrow at some point either way. Mostly sunny at lunchtime for everybody. San francisco makes 76 degrees for a daytime high for friday. So you know in places like san jose and whatever, inland areas, like fremont, youre going to find 80s easily so lots of 70s and 80s tomorrow. I dont think well see any low 90s. A generally cooling trend. This is tomorrow. General cooling trend into the weekend and hopefully next week. So fire danger taking a little bit of a break. [ pause ] the Law Enforcement officer whose gun was stolen from his car in San Francisco and then used in the kate steinle killing took center stage in court today during the trial of Jose Inez Garcia Zarate. The bureau of Land Management officer said he thought it was safely stored even though it was in a backpacker in the locked vehicle. Ktvus Tara Moriarty joins us now. Reporter this officer took center stage today. He is not from the bay area so perhaps not familiar with our auto breakin epidemic. He is actually from just south of san diego near the mexico border. This is officer John Wachowski were talking about with blm. He took the stand today and said that he is, quote, safetycan. Now, that struck the defense as odd considering that the officer left a fully loaded firearm inside his suv in a backpack parked along the embarcadero on june 27th, 2015. He said he is, quote, safety safetyconsciou prosecutors say Jose Inez Garcia Zarate got the gun and shot kate steinle on pier 14. Zarates attorney asked wachowski if he felt responsible for steinles death and that question was actually stricken from the record. We asked the attorney about that after court ended and coming up at 6 00, well have more on that. Live from San Francisco, im Tara Moriarty, ktvu fox 2 news. [ pause ] and joining us now to talk more about Kate Steinles murder trial is our legal expert michael cardoza. Whats the point of even calling that blm officer. What difference does that make . I have to tell you, thats a spoton question. It makes no difference at all. As you say, whats the difference where the gun came from . The fact is, he either brought it there or he found it there, zarate. If i were a prosecutor back to the old days when i was a prosecutor, i would think that out. Say, you know what . It doesnt matter so why would i call him to the stand . Dont call him. Let the defense call him. Right. And then you would be able to argue to the jury, doesnt mean anything. They are trying to divert you. You know, its like a magician. Hey, look over there while the tricks being done here. It makes no difference. The weapon was there. It was used. It killed kate steinle. Is it really plausible, in your opinion, to think that this guy was sitting on the bench looked underneath and found something wrapped up in in in whatever, unwrapped it, it turned out to be a gun, it accidentally went off and it accidentally killed kate steinle . I have a hard time believing that, especially or in light of the fact that zarate gave three different stories to the San Francisco police department. Which story are we to believe . You were shooting at the seal or the gun went off accidentally . Thats why, frank this will be a battle of experts. The d. A. Will bring in an expert. A forensic ballistic expert to talk about the pull on that gun trigger on that sig sauer. Its 10 pounds. So it didnt go off accidentally unless it was cocked. Who is going to believe it was cocked under a bench and he picked it up and goes boom and throws it in the bay . No, it doesnt make sense. How damning is that, that you threw the gun in the bay, that he gave those different stories and that as she lay dying and people were coming to help her, he went in the other direction . You know, some of thats explainable by the defense. You pick the gun up and lets assume lets assume with all our imagination that it went off accidentally. Like oh, my god throw it to get rid of it and im out of here. It was me that did that. I dont want to be involved in this. So it could be a panic type situation for him. Other than that you have the three different stories. The thing thats getting me is the d. A. Keeps saying, you know, he pointed the gun directly at her. Now, i dont know what if any evidence the prosecutor has of that but she better have some good evidence and i dont know why they are even going there because if he picks up that gun and he thinks, ha, i wonder if it works, he points it at the ground, or points it at something inanimate, pulls the trigger, thats such a willful disregard for h
