afternoon. we're doing to be looking at popcorn thunderstorms. not everybody is going to see rain. more like that popcorn look on the radar. we may have a cell here, may have another here. most of the

and escape. even on motorcycles. it was at a tunnel where an israeli soldier was feared taken captive, was killed. as he was laid to rest israel took a major step to make sure the rest of its soldiers are safer. pulling most of its forces out of the gaza strip, sending relief soldiers back to israel. the withdrawal means israeli troops who have been gathered along gaza's border for weeks will be far less vulnerable to attack. for israel, the ground will be ending p. here in xwaz sa it doesn't feel like the war is winding down. all day, rockets launched from here toward israel. we've watched them fly overhead. there have been more israeli air strikes. one of those strikes caused yet another tragedy. u.n. officials say israel fired on a suspected palestinian militant on a motorcycle just as he passed in front of a u.n. school full of 3,000 palestinians taking shelter. at least ten civilians were killed. robert turner, director of the u.n. program in gaza, is stunned israel chose to attack so close to the school. >> do you think israel should have waited a few more seconds, a few more minutes until he was further away from this location? >> why? if this is a moving target and you're tracking him, why there? why at the gate of the shelter, the location you've given 33 times, the last time not more than an hour before the attack. >> reporter: the u.s. state department said

earthquakes game last night was a beta test for the new levi stadium. most fans gave the experience a thumbs up, saying it was easy to get to parking. >> concern us, the traffic. >> reporter: neighbors hearsay it was a little too easy. >> there were people pashi ipar our carports. it just got way crazy and out of hand. we can't park on our own streets. >> reporter: only people with the stickers on the cars were supposed to be allowed into the neighborhoods. the closer to game time residents hearsay nobody checked for the stickers. and people drove right past these signs. >> part of

improve upon that. we'll look at how we might be able to bring in, you know, additional staff if that's what it means. >> reporter: one thing fans did complain about, crowded trains. more than 8,000 people used light rail to get to the stadium and many passengers complained about the long waits to catch a train home. bta says it will work to improve that. >> we think our plan is pretty solid.

what it says is the source of the problem. >> here's the growth of the algae. >> reporter: an algae bloom that one federal agency says is close to the intake valve for the area's water supply. the bloom is fueled by water runoff and treatment plant, a problem environmentalists say won't end with this crisis. >> this is a systemic challenge that we face here in the great lakes but much bigger than this one crisis. unfortunately this crisis could be the tip of the iceberg unless we begin to address it. >> reporter: tonight residents are under order not to drink, wash dishes, brush their teeth, or give tap water to their pets and not to boil it for use. because that makes the tox xip more concentrated and more harmful. that's because ingesting the toxin can cause vomiting, diarrhea,

more comfortable coming down just a little bit from where they have been over the past couple of days. no more 80s and 90s. back in the 60s an 70s. it's all because of the cloud cover we're going to continue to see. lots of that heavy rain will continue to be pumped this way. unfortunately for us we're going to be in that dead zone where the thunderstorms erupt and then die down. unfortunate unfortunately we're not going to get a lot of the heavy rain. but one or two of these thunderstorms could hold together. if they do and you get caught up under it you're talking about heavy rain and

power oats! go! cheerios! go power! go...power! yayyyy! it's a i think stra scene for the giants this season. they're playing much better away from at&t this season. they entered sunday nine games over .500 on the road. compare that to one game under .500 at their own ballpark. the same olds true for madison bumgarner, 5.60 era at home. that goes well for the giants as they play game three in a four-game set against the mets. hunter pence has not played well on the road. that would be ruled a two-run home run. and then in the top of the ninth, pence goes deep again. this one off dana. second home run of the day. 9-0, giants. bumgarner looking to finish a two-hit shutout. he gets travis darnell on the check swing to end it. tenth strikeout of the fwam. if madison bumgarner's first exact

the seventh. as down by three. he hits it deep to right. watch josh reddick. he doubles off escobar at first. a beautiful play. that's worth a little bit of praise. reddick not done. in the eighth. a solo shot for him. that's his second home run of the game. but the as would lose 4-2. >> our bats aren't really where we want them right now. the last week or so, coming back from texas and houston, we're not swinging the bat as well as we should be. besides one inning yesterday. you don't really expect anything so we got to keep going and keep working. >> the final round is a wgc wood bridge invitational. on the second hole he takes an awkward fall on the shot from the lift of the bunker and he was not the same from there on out. he had to withdraw from the tournament on the 9th hole. you

thing about it though with the lightning strikes could spark some new wildfires. of course, do get heavy rain on some of those dry hilltops we could be looking at debris flows because we just don't have a whole lot of vegetation to absorb a lot of that rain. we could be looking at pretty catastrophic weather as we head through the next couple of days. right now things are quiet. we don't have any showers in the bay area. also east, showers and thunderstorms have been erupting across sierra and southern california. tomorrow's highs are going to be noticeably cooler, especially considering we were in the 90s for weeks on end. and a lot of our inland valleys tomorrow, back into the 70s. comfortable. even today it was not too bad. again, with that mix of sun and clouds. tomorrow, i do think we're going to be looking at another repeat performance of sun and clouds. morning fog in the morningnd then afternoon with that heating of the day. we could see a few isolated thunderstorms. again, not everybody is going to see it. i do think it's going to be isolated in nature. when you do get caught up in a downpour you want to make sure to have that umbrella. the showers are off towards the south and east for tonight. tomorrow afternoon, better chance of showers pushes in. computer modeling is not a good one to follow if we were going to go for rain tomorrow. each and every run, the computer models change. gives you an idea of the system really not organized. computer modeling don't have a good idea as to what's going to happen. because of that we just have rain in the forecast aross cross most of the bay because if it's going to get close enough we could definitely be talking about showers. not only here in the bay but up towards the north bay as well. pick out your location. very hit and miss shower activity. even in the san francisco and you will notice the temperatures much more cool back in the 70s across most of the board. again, i do think a few of us may see isolated thunderstorms for tomorrow. most of us will stay dry. in fact, the general trend will be a good mix of sun and clouds tomorrow. that isolated thunderstorm chance better for monday and tuesday. after that it really starts to get hot. close to 90 by friday. a little bit of a roller coaster ride. but summer is not over. we still have a chance of seeing mormon soon moisture for tomorrow and tuesday. and then hopefully as we get into the fall and winter things will change up around here. >> i'm curious. as soon as you hear that beer makers need rain, you put it in the forecast. maybe just wishing thinking. we'll see how it pans out. >> i don't write the script. i just deliver it. coming up, the new gadget helping doctors save lives. how google glass is chapging the
