Reporter we went in to the amazon hub in downtown san jose. They had no comment. We also reached out to Amazon Corporate this morning and were promised a statement by this afternoon but we have still not received that statement from amazon. Reporting live in san jose, marianne favro, nbc bay area news. Okay. Thanks so much, marianne. Well, it was a mild day today. We hoped you enjoyed it because its now over. A warmup begins tomorrow. A live look at our traffic cameras. This is San Francisco where you can see the fog is now gone. Walnut creek, where well see some of the warmest temps. Lets check in with meteorologist rob mayeda. A little bit warmer. Still 70s in san jose. You mentioned walnut creek, another spot tomorrow. Concord climbing into the 90s. We did return to the 80s today. 90s making a big comeback that will take us to the weekend. Well be watching air quality very closely and this time around fire danger could actually be a bit more of a concern because this time we could be seeing seven to ten days of these above average temperatures. So while temperatures may not initially be as hot as they were last week, this pattern will be sticking around for awhile. Coming up, well show you when to expect the hottest temperatures in our full forecast coming up in about eight minutes. Thanks, rob. Keep track of the temps at nbcbayarea. Com. Type in your zip code on the front page to get the temps in your neighborhood. A story is turning into a political hot potato. Its all about the homeless problem in San Francisco. The transient caught on camera right there at that door attacking a woman in her condo complex last week was back in court to face charges on another crime. Today 25yearold Austin Vincent pleaded not guilty to assault with a Deadly Weapon and making criminal threats. The charges are linked to a february attack where four people say he threatened them with a knife. Vincent was tied to the crime after someone recognized his mugshot from this condo attack. Today, the judge also ruled vincent needs to stay in jail while awaiting trial. Theres always a balance thats done, and we believe that balance definitely merits keeping the defendant in to advance public safety. He was getting the help that he needed. He was having the root cause of some of his issues being addressed and now hs in jail where hes not going to get help with those issues. The District Attorneys Office also confirming its trying to figure out if vincent is linked to two other crimes in San Francisco. New drama in the ghost ship fire trial, but this doesnt involve the two men on trial. Were now learning why the judge tossed two of the three jurors from deliberations yesterday. They could be held in contempt for violating court orders. Nbc bay areas melissa colorado joins us with more from the courthouse. No verdict yet but theres lots going on there. Reporter janelle, if there is another juror shakeup this trial could be in jeopardy because we only have one alternate left, and its very likely these 12 jury members did not anticipate for all of this deliberation to drag on because now were learning, according to the judge, that several jury members made travel plans for the next month of september. So this is a logistical, this is a scheduling hurdle that this judge now has to deal with. Now, attorneys are still forbidden from talking why the three women were booted off the jury yesterday. The judge Trina Thompson shed some light when she said the misconduct is demonstrable. There is a chance two exjurors could be held in contempt of the court. It all depends on the nature of the defense, but if found guilty, the women could face heavy fines or even jail time. The judge said she is still gathering information about the third jurors involvement. Our nbc bay area legal analyst jean johnson says it is rare for a juror to be held in contempt. There is so much thats unprecedented about this jury. Whatever they did, they must have done it together and it must have been very serious. Okay, melissa colorado joining us now live again. Now, we know today was the first full day of this new jury with the three alternates. You say some have travel plans. So any indication from the inside or from our analysts how long these deliberations could drag on . Reporter you know, that is the milliondollar question. We saw them for a couple of minutes today. Judging from their body language it seems that all 12 jury members get along, but according to the judge, at least two jury members have made travel plans for the month of september. One juror is een requesting four weeks off. So its very likely we could see added pressure on this jury to come up with a verdict quickly or maybe they go to the court and tell the judge its time to declare a mistrial. Guys . Okay. Thanks so much, melissa, for the updates. Take a look. A tahoe vacation theyll never forget. Two San Francisco teenagers have an incredible tale to tell and the video to back it up. You can see it right here. They came facetoface with that bear. Thats a big bear right inside their home. That bear walked through the front door and into their vacation home. And like most bears went right for the food. Lets bring in nbc bay area scott budman with the details. Two teenagers here. Did they get a selfie with the bear . Not a very still selfie, but a running selfie. This is a story, raj, that played out right on the familys nest camera. The teens admitted they left the door unlocked, which in bear country is like an invitation. This was the scariest moment of both of our lives. Reporter both 15, friends from San Francisco, vacationing in truckee. We went inside forgetting to close the garage. Reporter which is how this 250pound black bear got into the house and started making itself at home. And then i had this instinct, i said, bobby, there is a bear in our house. Reporter a bear that got into the refrigerator, ate and then went exploring. The bear actually came over and banged on the door that we were holding. Reporter while they held it off, hayes called 911 on his watch. Im whispering to 911. Through your apple watch. Yeah, through my apple watch. Reporter the call worked. The Deputy Sheriff came in and the bear walked out. She said all is clear. You guys can come out. The bear is gone. Reporter giving these guys a great story to tell. We never even had seen a bear before. Calling 911 on the watch. The Sherman Family says it has plans to go back to truckee soon where it will restock the refrigerator and lay down lots of bear repellant. Raj . Thats the best story of the day. Thank you, scott. You bet. Heres a warning, dont hassle the robots in hayward. A man caught on camera, here it is, a couple of weeks ago. The Watkins Street garage targeted by vandals lately. A Security Guard was put in place. Thats the guard right there. A 400pound robot. Apparently this guy thought it would be a good idea to knock the bot over. It took a tumble, but took pictures of the guy getting away. Lots of sideshows but no charges yet. The Contracosta CountyDistrict Attorneys Office is still awaiting the recent rash of sideshow arrests. Three separate sideshows in one day. Deputies arrested multiple people. They say it could have been more. Crowds and spectators prevented them from moving in at a sideshow in rodeo. The chp helicopter was able to get video of the plates and says the video will serve as great evidence in court. Whats in a name . A new subway station is prompting an emotional debate. This crowd gathering today at city hall. Theyre opposed to naming the New Chinatown subway station after rose pac. For decades, pac was a political heavy hitter. She died three years ago. Some believe her impact was so large the station should be named after her. Others say pak was simply a bully. She also had a reputation in chinatown of being disrespectful, demeaning, intim datin intimidating, threatening. Mta voters previously voted in june when they deadlocked on a decision. President trump today backed off stricter background checks on gun purchases even though voiced support for that just a couple of weeks ago. After Mass Shootings in dayton and el paso, the president signalled support for stronger background checks. In a new wall street journal nbc poll shows 89 of americans support them. We have very, very strong background checks right now. But we have sort of missing areas. It is a mental problem, and ive said it 100 times. Its not the gun that pulls the trigger, its the person. Im sure the nra and its allies are putting a lot of pressure on the president to back off. And you are right that ultimately republicans in the senate are not going to vote for a background checks bill without the president s support for it. House and Senate Leaders say gun control will be a top priority when lawmakers return to capitol hill next month. Up next here at 5 00, are california gun laws working . Researchers found real cases where one specific law may have made a difference. Plus, no more plastic Water Bottles at sfo. Sort of. The loophole that is allowing some to stay on shelves despite this new ban. And were watching a pattern shift under way from the cooler sea breeze weather the last few days to a warmup that puts us in day one of several days into the 90s. The timeline of when the hottest weather arrives when we come right back. Ahead for us tonight, the new arrest for a Chilling School shooting threat. Police taking no chances with the nation on edge. Also, new guidelines for Breast Cancer testing. Experts now say millions more women should be tested. All those stories when we see you tonight. It is movein day at uc berkeley, but as students arrive, police are also offering a warng tonight. A man was found beaten overnight just off campus. Police were flagged down between the campus and peoples park. They found a man bleeding from the head. Now tonight that man is listed in critical condition. Police say they have very little to go on. Theyre reminding students to be aware of their surroundings and travel in groups. Well, gun laws can help prevent Mass Shootings. Thats the finding of a new study. Californias among 17 states with socalled red flag laws which allow police or family members to petition for police to take guns away from a relative. Now, after the 2014 mass shooting near uc santa barbara, california did pass a law allowing family members to request a gun be confiscated from a relative they believe presents a threat. Their data shows 21 Mass Shootings were likely prevented by the law. Most subjects were white men, 14 to 65 years old. 52 guns were recovered. In three cases, subjects had purchased guns that they had not yet been allowed to pick up because of californias tenday waiting period. Researchers stressed the study doesnt definitively prove that red flag laws work. Only that people calling police with their concerns can make a difference. Effective today, plastic Water Bottles are no longer allowed at sfo. Sort of. The airport announced earlier this month that it would ban plastic bottles starting today with the first of the kind ban in the nation. However, there is a significant loophole. You can still buy plastic Water Bottles there if theyre one liter or bigger. The ban also doesnt apply to flavored drinks including sodas, teas and juices. Anything that we can do to save the planet, from Plastic Straws perfect. To me that sounds kind of stupid but, i mean, whats it supposed to cause . Well, its for the environment. To help the environment. Okay, if it helps the environment, im all for it. Sfo says this is just the start. The goal is to have zero waste going to landfill by 2021. We know two things about a college degree, its valuable but its expensive and that means a lot of people are out of luck. A Silicon Valley company is stepping up and making some dreams come true. Garvin thomas first told us about the working Scholars Program two years ago. He joins us with an update. What are we always told . If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. In this case, though, the working Scholars Program offered by study. Com that we told you about two years ago, well, its making the people of Mountain View very happy. The program sounded good, and now they have proof that it is. A very special Graduation Ceremony was recently held in Mountain View. All 14 graduates having two things in common, first, theyre all adults who have gone back to school to get a bachelors degree, and second, none of them paid a dime in tuition for it. Nothing. It cost them absolutely nothing. So you are tracking the whole process. Reporter adrian is the cofounder of study. Com. Two years ago he and his team dreamed up working scholar. This committee consists of reporter as a way to give back to their community. Anyone who lived and worked in Mountain View could take courses for College Credit for free at study. Com as well as Thomas EdisonState University from where they would receive their degree. Graduate lisa had the typical reaction unof hearing about it. Right. Right. Is it real . Like is this really real . By proving the consent reporter she actually discovered working scholars when study. Com proposed expanding the program to East Palo Alto where she just happens to be mayor. I was thinking to myself, number one, is this real . And then the second question was, as an elected official, can i do it . Reporter lisa could and did. And now like classmate tammy rios castro, they can grow their careers without having to first dig out of a financial hole. It feels like a relief not to have that student debt. Reporter these 14 are just the first of many working scholar graduates. 400 students are now enrolled in eight different cities. Each one of them turning generosity into opportunity. We could never dream that we could pull Something Like this off, and to actually not just think about it, but to see the first graduates walk through that stage and change their lives, its just its personal and its something that im so proud of. Weve shared that story in 2017, and online it was one of the most popular stories we did all year. I think everybody read that headline, wait, free college. I got to click on it and see if its true. Then it was a promise. Now you see its a promise delivered. 14 graduates at the Graduation Ceremony recently. Hundreds more in the pipeline. Cities are expanding all the time. It started with just Mountain View. Its not just a pr stunt, study. Com is really backing this up . Absolutely. These people have actual bachelors degrees with zero student debt that they can now some of them are talking about going on and getting a masters. There was a ceiling for peoples careers as to what they could do. Thats gone now. 14 lives changed. Theyre going to change other lives, too. Thanks, garvin. Were going to go outside and take a look at san jose. Really nice day today, but get ready for the warmup. Here to tell us about it is rob mayeda. Really animated about it, janelle. Im redhot about the whole situation. Dressed appropriately. The good news is its not going to be as hot as last week, but heres the issue, it could be lasting for ten days. Its good it is not going to be 105 degrees inland, but it will be noticeably warmer. Palo alto, pretty pleasant evening. High clouds. 74 degrees outside. Wind at 18 miles per hour. Well take you over to walnut creek. One of the spots tomorrow that will be into the 90s. Right now a few high clouds moving in from the north at 81 degrees. In San Francisco, fogfree for now. Its 65 but you notice the wind out of the west at 24 miles per hour. Into oakland, east bay seeing some overcast skies. 69 degrees. Big night in oakland as the yankees are in town taking on the as. A game come upping up at 7 07. Green and gold in the forecast there, dropping to around the 06s around game time. Light jacket weather should be just fine. A bit breezy. 15 to 25mileperhour winds around oakland. The rest of the bay area as the ocean air has held on for one more day. Pretty interesting, you see the high clouds that are out right now . That will make for a nice sunset here. Thats also an interesting point in august were talking about rain heading into the Pacific Northwest and some of that is going to clip by eureka tomorrow. So you dont often get to see this in august, a real chance of some rain up here in the north coast, but there you go. During the day tomorrow, rain chances at least for parts of northern california. Just not this far south. For the morning we begin with some areas of low clouds. Not as much as weve seen over the last few mornings. Well see more sunshine for the afternoon and probably just a few high clouds passing by to the north through the day. Morning temperatures, not much of a change for you. Mid to upper 50s to start the day. Look at the spread of high temperatures starting tomorrow. Mid80s now in san jose, away from the upper 70s we had outside today. Around morgan hill and san martin making a run at the low 90s. Similar temperatures around livermore, concord, antioch and pittsburg. Peninsula temperatures starting to warm up but not too hot just yet. 78 degrees around san mateo. 80s near palo alto. San francisco now starting to break into the 70s. In the forecast in north bay temperatures and the upper 80s, and low 90s. Whats really interesting about the longrange forecast, look at the time stamp up there. So heres friday, august 23rd this week, were just going to keep that clock running all the way through the weekend. All the way through next week. You see how that ridge of High Pressure is essentially blocked off the jet stream in much of the way of cooling. So the sevenday forecastartsst to climb tomorrow and its going to stay there, at least through the end of the weekend in into next week. Warmest days, by the way, San Francisco, probably coming up on thursday. For the weekend into early next week. The valleys, the hottest days, at least for the work week looks to be thursday and maybe next sunday and monday is the timeframe we could begin to see upper 90s in the forecast.
