Explosion of a small propane tank at 415 in the morning. We heard an explosion in the fire just burst out of the building. All i heard was a big bang. And it was just, it made it loud because of the warehouse echo. Mayor sylvia zahn had just arrived at work. She helped to evacuate other workers at nearby buildings. It was scary but i had to act fast and call 911. Workers say what was a small fire quickly spread and in less than five minutes engulfed the building with thick black smoke. Shooting out of the roof, it was big and it was hot. Really up in my face. Felt the heat. Flames shut up about 100 feet into the sky. Right now we are dealing with surround and ground, we are getting this from all sides, it is too dangerous for our members to be in there. Two fire votes is water to prevent the flames from jumping to the ss Jeremiah Obrien Floating Museum which is docked next to the warehouse. It is my professional opinion that without the fire we would have lost the Jeremiah Obrien. 4 remembers safely evacuated and very little damage to the world war ii warship. The Jeremiah Obrien has been known as the lakisha. One of the last liberty ships around. She survived the north atlantic. That was the first reaction, it is a miracle. We are standing about three blocks away from the fire scene and here is a piece of charred foam that flew from the fire scene. It took more than seven hours to contain the fire. The warehouse is known as building c. Roughly the size of a football field. It was mostly used to store fishing gear for local fishermen and as a parking lot. It also contained the office of the site in Cruise Company red and white fleet. Workers at nearby buildings say Homeless People often slept in the warehouse. It could have been just some homeless folks being careless with you know, making their breakfast. Firefighters are not ready to say who or what caused the fire. It will be a while before they can safely enter the building to look for the cause. The fire injured one firefighter, he is doing okay now. In San Francisco, i am doll in. Kpix 5. As you mentioned, fire crews battled the flames at the warehouse, they also did say that historic ship on this memorial day weekend. Kpix 5 is live at pier 45 not too far from the Jeremiah Obrien with new video. Hi, kenny. Reporter good evening, you could still see some of the smoke and ash drifting behind me in your that ship. I talked to the captain a short while ago, he told me it was a miracle that it was not damaged. We take a look at some of the video earlier this morning when the flames erupted you could see the ship in the forefront. And the flames just behind it in the background and you really get a sense of how close the flames were to consuming this relic. They knew the peer was, they could not save the peer structure, but they knew they had to save the ship and they used their fire boats, and just poured water on the ship in between the ship and the peer. Again it is just a miracle. Our mooring lines did not even melt away, which i dont even understand how that could happen can during the intensity of the fire. Reporter the captain tells me that none of the steel on the ship buckled and not even the paint melted off the ship. There were 4 people on board when the flames erupted early this morning. Coming up tonight at 11, we will hear much more about the history of the ship and how it was involved during the battle at normandy on dday during world war ii and how it survived all these years. We will also hear more from the San Francisco Fire Department on how it saved the ship. The ship on this memorial day weekend. We are live in San Francisco, kenny joy, kpix 5. People who are awake at the time of their fire reported seeing the orange glow of the flames from miles away. Dan whaley took those photos from just across the water. Just as the sun was rising. Also visible for miles, the smoke, the thick cloud lingered over the waterfront for most of the morning. We were able to smell it here in our studios at roadway and battery. The skies have now cleared over that side of the city. Meanwhile, expect gathering crowds at ocean beach as the weekend wears on. Memorial day marks the symbolic start of summer. As he tells us it will feel a lot like the real thing over the next few days. According to Mother Nature it is the technical lets overdo it start of summer. First of all we are about 10b0 above average for today and going to be warmer than that tomorrow. But it is monday when the concerns for the heat and this heatwave really get going. Let me show you what monday will look like. Memorial day. Across the bay area. Look at the top line, those are inland. We will be hitting 100b0 for select locations for inland, alameda, inland Contra Costa County. I will show you more detail on those coming up in the complete forecast. There is your quick headline, and monday is just the start. If you look at the map, that says excessive heat watch on top, look at the fine print just below that. It starts monday morning. Does not expire until thursday evening. In other words, 4 Straight Days where we are going to be looking at excessive heat. And tuesday and wednesday are actually going to be the peak, so the numbers i just showed you for monday were just the beginning. It will get a little hotter than those numbers for tuesday and wednesday. Everywhere in yellow needs to be aware of this. The only place that is not is at the coast. I will be back with more on this in the complete forecast to detail, coming up in just a bit. For now, back over to you. 6, crowds are descending on the Russian River this memorial day weekend. Kpix 5 is in greenville where the locals are facing a tricky balancing act between staying safe and restoring the health of the local economy. Reporter this stretch of the river should be exclusively for the locals this weekend, kind of hard to tell if that is the case for everyone. There is a debate up here over how welcome tourists are right now. Business owners have decided to step into the middle of that. We want people to come, i do, i want people to come admittedly. I do. But i wanted to be responsible and think about it. And please do not go to my safeway and clear everything out. Reporter Business Owners in downtown should have been the kickoff to the summer tourist season this year that is something a lot of locals are not interested in. I think balancing some of the community not being in favor of tourism is a tricky one. And at the same time i think we have to do it. In order for this community to survive and for us to survive. Reporter there some solution, some suggested guidelines for anyone who does venture in from beyond the immediate area. Because we know youre going to come, please behave in this way to help keep us and our Community Members safe. For example, wear a mask and dont wipe out Grocery Store aisles, something we have seen another Northern California tourist destinations. If you are going to come here, bring your own food. People are challenged enough by going to the Grocery Store, it makes them nervous and concerned. There are plenty of people here today. The river was busy and parking spilled out of armstrong redwoods onto nearby roadways. So with new freedom, in phase 2 as of yesterday, local businesses are trying to take advantage of that traffic. We scrambled, we harvested a bunch of veggies to make space for tables. Maybe this will be something we do every year now. Reporter is is a season with High Expectations along the river. Last year was hard enough. March was flat. October was fires. We all burned through our reserves. Now they are trying to make it work faced with an entirely new question. How many people is too many . I dont know the answer. I mean, i count my circles. That is what i do. On the Russian River, wilson walker, kpix 5. Protesters rallied in front of the State Capitol in sacramento demanding that Governor Newsom lift all restrictions on businesses. They called the event liberty fest and Heather Jensen reports people came from all over california to speak up. We went to open up california, its time. A fight for freedom is the message from hundreds converging on the california capital. As some businesses begin to reopen slowly and counties around the state, many are demanding more. Its a human right for our children to be able to go to school and for us to be able to work and put food on our table for our children. Here, many believe social and physical distance did its job. Be flattened the curve. We have gotten our numbers down. Which is why Business Owners here traveled from Southern California wanting to go back to work. I got funded, but now i have multiple loans. Governor newsom and Health Officials urging people to stay close to home this Holiday Weekend, keeping with the stay athome order. But people like mario traveled here from los angeles to see that he feels the pandemic has gotten too political. This is not about anymore, this is not about control and that is why i am here. Other saying the virus has not proved to be as serious as Health Officials report. I dont know anyone with cobit. Not one person. Reporter that with Heather Jensen reporting. Meanwhile, one Rural California county is actually telling its reopening this evening with just 50 cases reported in april, humboldt was among the first to get the green light to move into phase 2, but in the past two weeks, the county of 130,000 reported nearly 30 new cases, and its first two deaths. Still to come, we will head to Southern California where relaxing the rules means a lot of people relaxing on the beach. The coast guard makes an unusual rescue in napa county.

Its a warm memorial day weekend but Health Officials in santa cruz are reminding all visitors the beaches are closed. The county says no one is allowed on the sand from 11 am until 8 pm daily, and outside of those hours the beaches are only open for physical activity like walking and running. A lot of the beaches are back open in Southern California and officers are patrolling to make sure visitors are keeping their distance. Reporter greg mills found one beachcomber who came all the way from oakland to get away from it all. Reporter be two rules are relaxing, and that is just what people are doing here. Great. As you know, beaches have been open with restrictions but adding to the convenience, parking lots reopened this weekend. Bike paths did too. Simple freedoms we havent enjoyed for a while. We have been on shelter in place for so long. Her group of family and friends traveled all the way to doc weiler beach from oakland. The weather is beautiful and we just wanted to get away. Beach rules relaxed, yes, but a long list of restrictions is still in place. Like wearing a mask. Some do, some dude. That is true. I do have a mask, but we are not wearing a. She and her high school, no college friends, wanted to get together and get out of their houses. And yes, they know that they, like many others, are not exactly active on the beach. We are about to get in the water, we were sitting down for something to eat. Police patrolling on atvs, bikes, and cruisers. I was told 14 officers on doc weiler alone. As you can see they are not really cracking down on anything, just aching certain in one officers words, no one is doing anything stupid. In hermosa beach, the peer still closed, businesses at the beach helping us things relaxed, more business will head there way starting well, now. Memorial weekend is important. Businesses appear busy but not as busy as past memorial day weekend. In the 100 , 100 . You would be, it is jampacked normally. Last year was jampacked. One long time resident believes it is to jampacked for the pandemic. This peach is full of selfish people who dont care about anyone else. No one is wearing masks, no one is following the rules. Some rules are being followed. Social distancing for sure, and many are wearing masks. Expecting the beaches to get busier as the weekend goes on and the weather warms up. In hermosa beach, greg mills. I like the matching scarf. New video of an unusual rescue along the napa river after a house boat ran aground, the coast guard had to use a boat, a helicopter, and a swimmer to rescue the 2 people who were on board. The crew also snapped this photo of the houseboat listing on the land. They dont really know why it ran aground. Meanwhile, there was a Mountain Lion fighting in an unusual place. Onboard a school bus but it is a cardboard bus for that is the oakland zoo. We shared this video on these cougars taking a driving lesson of sorts. Apparently big cats are no different than small ones when it comes to playing in boxes. Kids are the same way. Give them a huge toy and they like the box. The coronavirus has been the main story for weeks and weeks and weeks. Something will intrude briefly and importantly. A heat wave on the way, here is darren. The coronavirus and the shelter in place is still part of this story when it comes to the forecast because when it is in the low hundred four inland alameda and Contra Costa County when we get to early next week, you cant go to the beach, and you cant find ways to cool off like you normally would. So even in the weather obviously we are still incorporating that as part of the story. Lets get you caught up on where things stand now but more importantly where we are going. Here are todays daytime highs. These numbers on average are about 10b0 above average for this time of year. We have already started the warmup no doubt if you were outside today you noticed it felt kind of warm. Look at tomorrow. We will add another couple of degrees on top of this. Good example would be conquered going to 91 tomorrow, 86 today. Everyone here goes up on average about 3 to 6b0. If you are inland you notice the warmth a little more. That is like 60b0, 3b0 if your near the water. That covers the sunday but that is not the issue. Over the next five days, conquered europe first. 86 yesterday, or 86 today, 91 tomorrow. Then look when the low hundreds come in. It is monday, tuesday, and wednesday, all three days. San jose it is a little better but still hot. Monday, tuesday, and wednesday. 94, 98, 97, thursday at 97. Oakland your numbers look better but a 90b0 day in oaklan on tuesday, when your average is 68 youre going to notice. And if you are wondering are we getting close to records . It depends on where you are. If you are inland, yes. If you are in the bay, not necessarily. So tuesdays daytime highs were lineup in the middle and you can see where the records stand. But just to make the story stand out im going to colorcode the difference. Look at san jose, santa rosa, and oakland. Inland locations will likely be breaking records by tuesday and wednesday. If you are in the immediate bay, dont get me wrong, still going to be hot for oakland but youre going to miss the record by 4 degrees. In concord, i know 13b0 above the record sounds impressive. But he perplexes perspective on that is the records for concord and go back to that far, they go back to the late 90s. Other locations go back into the 1800s. There is your excessive heat watch. It is monday, tuesday, wednesday, and thursday. All 4 days of next week. Significant risk of heat related illness, particularly for anyone who is stuck having to work outdoors. If you are just thinking of ways to recreate and perhaps go easy on yourself, youre going to have to take into account because it is not only the first good spike of heat this season, that would be a story on its own. But this would be a significant heat wave even if we had already had a couple to get acclimated to this. We are going from 0 to 60. Just as we get into the first holiday of summer. And we are doing it while managing a pandemic and shelter in place orders. So it is going to be a tough week to get through like Everything Else we will do it together, think ahead. Lets go to vern and see what is going on in sports. Lets do sports together. Somehow we keep turning out the content. On the menu at six, the nba is making some noise. Speaking of noise. This 1985 norcal player of the year and first team all state just for talking with the rock. Even now, she just vern is with us now, a possible come back for the nba. We will just see. utalk no longer tea. Stages but so to speak. The nba up top and unfinished 20 20 business, the association has a plan in place and it involves the happiest place on earth. When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are. Anything your heart desires will come to you. The nba could be going to disney world. In orlando florida. The league has begun serious discussions now to resume the season on adjacent 40 acres of land of the wide world of Sports Complex in late july. It is unclear if the league will play any regularseason games, or opt to go straight into the postseason. No games or concerts, how about a wedding . The south side of chase center for now, dustin and lindsay snyder. The witness for the ceremony, worries rookie, jordan pool. The stanley cup nhl trophy is going somewhere this year. Lets get happy about it. Just last night the Player Association approved a 2014 playoff. Expanding from the traditional 16 team format. Sadly, the sharks wont be a part of it. That team had the lowest point total in the western conference. July could be a busy month. Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer are planning on returning that month. The pga tour is scheduled to be the next one to come back on june 11. Every now and then in this business you stumble onto a story while shooting another. In womens basketball, such was the case of this hall of famer, a sharpshooter in the east bay who has still got it. Lets take you to alameda. Reporter in. Christine farrell old belt here in alameda in eighth grade. She still puts up a fight and loses. Something about catching the ball, feeling the seams on your fingers. You know, bringing it up here, falling through. 3 to 400 shots a day paid off. In a stellar hall of fame career at Alameda High School in the mid1980s. Alameda is home to wyomings alltime leader in scoring. 1933. At a time that the ink was still drying on the then new threepoint line. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the greatest shooter ever at the university of wyoming. For the last 18 years, fairless has been a teacher and now director of the middle school at st. Pauls in oakland. And to the kids, she is not the greatest player in wyomings womens basketball, she is just miss fairless. But if they only knew. We would have a student faculty game. And i would decide at the last second to get in there and play. And kids tend to be pretty surprised that i can shoot the basketball the way that i do. What would she tell an eighthgrade player now . Just to know you have done everything to reach your potential, there is a lot of satisfaction in that. I say keep shooting. I got a psych, dynamite. Im just envisioning middle schoolers knocking on her door. Ms. Farrells columbus girls, yes, would you like to talk about an issue . No no, we just want you to come out and play with us see you super i bet she would go out there and do the same. All right, great story, vern, thank you.

Whitney wild reports the symbolic start of summer comes with loosened restrictions in all 50 states, and concerns about a spike in cases that could follow. Reporter is the door to summer slowly cracks open americans coast to coast our feeling the pull of the outdoors. Welcome to santa monica, the home of the three piece bathing suit, a bikini and a facemask. We thought we would go here and go to the beach. You know, maybe go to a restaurant. Go to the bar, and have a good time. Memorial day weekend may bring the greatest test yet of americans willingness to continue social distancing in the midst of a pandemic. All 50 states have entered some kind of phased reopening and holiday barbecues the parties, and sunshine may be too tempting to pass up. There are some people here on the beach, i did not think that there was going to be that many. It felt good to be back. Experts say staying outdoors is a good idea and they are continuing to recommend social distancing, masks, and gathering in small groups. Go for a run, go for a walk, go fishing. The message may be a sign attitudes are shifting. Even in new york, one of the areas hardest hit by coronavirus among the governor signed an executive order allowing groups of 10 or fewer. Saturday he admitted managing risk is now up to the edna individual. This is all about discipline now. In washington, whitney wild, kpix 5. Los angeles county is not joining the memorial day weekend party. It is not looking to reopen more widely until the next big summer holiday, july 4. That is not sitting well with the feds. The Justice Department sent a letter to Los Angeles Mayor eric garcetti. Warning him that a prolonged extension of stayathome orders may be heavyhanded, arbitrary, or even unlawful. We will be guided by science and industry working together to find out the steps forward. And last thing i will say is there is no you know, city in the world that right now doesnt have some sort of orders and restrictions because we know this virus kills. More than 1. 6 million cases of covid19 have now been confirmed in the us and the death toll could reach 100,000 by the end of this Holiday Weekend. But some hopeful news today, out of hardhit new york where governor, announced the states daily death toll dipped below 100 for the First Time Since march. A group of california pastors is threatening to defy the governor and hold services next weekend as part of a nationwide protest. Governor newsom says california will release new guidelines by monday. But that is not soon enough for president donald j. Trump. He has ordered governors to allow Church Services to resume this weekend, or he will do it for them. Some governors have deemed Liquor Stores and abortion clinics as essential. But have left out churches and other houses of worship. Its not right. Governors need to do the right thing and allow these very important essential places of faith to open. Right now. For this weekend. If they dont do it, i will override the governors. In the meantime a church in Contra Costa County is Holding Services in its parking lot, christ the king in Pleasant Hill is all set up for this sundays mass. All of those who plan on attending will have to register online for a spot and stay in their cars. Second i look at sfo, one of many us airports were travelers appear to me making a cautious return to the skies this weekend. The tsa screened a total of about 667,000 passengers in the past two days. That is down from 5. 2 million in the lead up to memorial day last year. But it is the First Time Since march 23 that the tsa screened more than 300,000 travelers in a single day. The sharp dropoff in air travel is not just hurting the airlines, companies that depend on them are also struggling to hold on. Rental company hertz, which gets two thirds of its revenue from airport rentals filed for bankruptcy last night. There is better news from retailer bed bath and beyond. The home goods store has announced plans to reopen 600 stores by june 13. Including its Christmas Tree shops and cost plus world market. Locations. The company says it will also and the furloughs of around 11,000 employees. Many companies are laying off workers. But taco bell is not one of them. The fast food chain is busy trying to fill a huge order for 30,000 employees. Many will be filling newly created roles focused on sanitation practices. And also on streamlining delivery and mobile orders. Interviews will be done virtually and curbside. In new orleans, the famed cafc known for its pastry and coffee. The cafc takeout orders for now. But they have set up about 20 outdoor tables. The cafc march, after louisiana issued its stayathome orders. Turns out not even a pandemic is more powerful than the hla. I dont see how this bothers anyone. Just ridiculous. These california students are already missing graduation now they are missing their yard signs. It is the eve of a new era in american spaceflights. And today was the dress rehearsal. The weathers perfect. Family is all together and we switched to geico; saved money on our boat insurance. How could it get any better than this . Dad, i just caught a goldfish theres no goldfish in this lake. Whoa its pure gold. Were gonna be rich. Were gonna be rich it only gets better when you switch and save with geico. Struck the university of california moving forward with a landmark decision to get rid of sat and act testing requirements. They are not looking at test scores. What will they be focusing on . Kpix 5s devon feeley takes a look. It really is about empowering low income, underrepresented students and firstgeneration students. The thesis is the university of california decision to gradually move away from standardized tests like the sat and act represents a Seismic Shift in how students are selected for the states largest and most prestigious Public College system. For the next three years, the uc will be test optional which is joining over 1000 universities nationwide that say hey, if you feel a test helps your application, go ahead and submit them. If you feel they would not, you can leave them out. The uc system decision is the culmination of decades of the bay. Critics of the test have long argued that they are crude and precise measures of ability, intelligence, and college readiness. The longterm goal is to replace them altogether. The intent is, by five years, they hope to have developed a new test developed by the uc system that they would consider more fair. In the meantime, reducing the reliance on standardized tests means admission officers will place greater emphasis on student grades, personal history and extracurricular activities. I am a Firm Believer in the transformative power of education and a Firm Believer in understanding the context of each student who is applying. Devon feeley, kpix 5. The change that students are dealing with, taking advanced placement or ap tests from home. A lot of them say they have run into trouble submitting their answers online. Technical issues dont appear to be the only problem. Ap tests are typically in person exams that last between 3 to 4 hours. With multiplechoice, short answer, and essay questions but online tests administered during the pandemic lasted 45 minutes and consisted of only three response questions. I think it is a lot more difficult than in the past. It is going to be given via computer. Do all students have computers and computer access that would allow them to do this . Students who experienced issues during the first week of testing can take makeup exams in june. Southern california students who are missing out on graduation are now being robbed of their congratulatory signs as well. Reporter Michelle Gile explains why. It was literally right here. With the flowers. There hasnt been much celebrated for Santa Margarita High School Senior sophia myrtle appeared at the graduation sign in her Mission Viejo front yard brought her joy during an otherwise difficult time. We put it up and we were so excited and you walk around the neighborhood and you get excited to see what schools each of the seniors are from. There is like six traders are graduating from Elementary School. The sun ended recently after several of the students signs disappeared from inside of the gates of marisol, a Townhome Community with a regulations enforced by a board of directors. They walked around and took them down or they had the Security Company do it. Is concerned father did not want his name used, but says his sons school sign is now gone from his front yard. On zim, during a virtual hla meeting monday night, his wife asks where the signs were. According to the homeowner, a board member admitted they were taken down because placement in the common areas violates the a rules. I dont see how this bothers anyone or it is not politically biased. It doesnt harm anyone. It doesnt make sense to me as to why they would do it. The property manager told me the board of directors has no comment on this matter. Other than to say that the signs will be returned to the respective owners upon request. Make it is ridiculous. Cold and cruel, and we should be coming together as a community right now. Not finding ways to pick fights. Hears his 11yearold the day his teacher delivered his sign. The sign is gone, but the fifth graders little brother felt so bad he made a sign of his own. Here it is, hanging on the garage. It even says do not remove. In Mission Viejo, michelle daly, cbs news.

Tonight we are learning shelter in place restrictions could put tens of millions of babies behind on their shots. It is normally a pretty welcoming place on a hot Holiday Weekend, but lake tahoe has a different message for tourists this time. Take note of how it feels out there today. We are about 10b0 above average it probably feels warm. But on monday, that is when we actually start the heat wave. And records are going to fall, a new study shows nearly 80 million babies will miss key vaccine dates because of the coronavirus. The data is coming from the world health organization.

A popular resort town is making its own rules this Holiday Weekend. Officials in bear lake say they will not enforce the governors orders this weekend, instead they will let Business Owners decide whether or not to open and whether or not to require facemasks. City Officials Say they have less than a dozen covid19 cases and that hospitals in San Bernardino county have plenty of capacity to handle more. On this memorial day weekend, South Lake Tahoe is kindly warning travelers to stay away. The town is slowly reopening but hotels and rentals are only open to essential workers. Reporter mike lori tells us anyone that violates the rules could face a pretty big fine. The Code Enforcement officer Sonia Wheeler is on patrol in South Lake Tahoe making sure the hotels and motels are following the rules. We are renting out to essential employees and making sure they provide. South lake tahoe and issued three citations, 24 hotels and one for a Vacation Home rented for a weekend. That carries a 1000 fine. Most of the enforcement has been a stern warning. It is a hard time. People are losing out on money and stuff. I think certain businesses and hotels mainly are trying to get antsy and people are starting to inquire about coming up. Lake tahoe is tempting, but before you venture here, it is best to know the rules of the road, so we asked the mayor to clarify. A hotel, motel, or Vacation Home, those are not allowable per the governors order, so people should not be coming up here planning on finding a place to stay this weekend.

Scary times in paradise. But a town that loves visitors but not this weekend. We want to make sure that this place he get to call home and we want to share with everyone stays safe during this pandemic and we can open our doors backup as quickly as possible. We now go to south korea where the ocean has come to the city of seoul. A giant virtual wave is on the led facade of the citys biggest digital billboard. It appears for exactly 1 minute every hour. The public art project took about four months to finish. Look at that, very mesmerizing. Very cool feeling. We could use. Which we will need. Are we talking trickle digits, therein, in some places . For you, yes. In the burbs. By for you, i am talking about for julia from the bay area, that it is inland across the county, inland alameda county, yes. Triple digit numbers and not just for one day. Possibly three in a row. So, first lets jump ahead to the first day of this heatwave. Today was warm, tomorrow is a little warmer but memorial day really kicks off this heatwave. Kicks off summer in an unofficial way, and the temperatures are going to kick it off in a very official uncomfortable way. There is the first time and for showing up for inland locations. And concorde were my example. Not everyone hits 100 that many locations will. The bay goes to the mid80s. And at the coast, we are at the 70s as well. So, here is the headline. Excessive heat watch which starts monday morning, doesnt expire until thursday night. That is four days in a row. Of the hottest temperatures we have seen so far. But with numbers that would be a pretty significant heatwave no matter what time my whether it was the first one or not. The only place not shaded in yellow in this map is the coast and even at that temperatures will get into the mid70s and many beaches. Lets first look at tomorrow. Because we still got, you know, the second day of the threeday weekend in store. It is upper 80s tomorrow. These numbers are already going to feel quite warm but these numbers are not hot enough yet to be included in this excessive heat watch. Take a look at the 94 livermore. We are going to come back to that in a second as an example. Take a look at San Francisco. We will top out at 73. We will use you as an example. Take out your part of the bay. Oakland, you are going to 79 tomorrow. We will hit 90 in santa rosa tomorrow. And we will be in the low 90s as you go up north. Okay, back to the 94 livermore. That 3 will be for sunday for the average will be 77. Lets put the heatwave on here, now. Now you see the difference. Tuesday and wednesday. Things start to get better by thursday, but 96 is still hot. Still, close to 20b0 above average. Just to show you, one extreme of the bay area to the other, here comes San Franciscos numbers. Now, 83 does not sound all that bad. But 83 in the city . When an average daytime high as 65, who get their conditioning in the city . It is going to be 83 on tuesday, 82 on wednesday. It will be a prolonged stretch. It is that whole run there, that shows up in the seven day forecast. So, this is where the concern starts to come in on this. Not only is it the first heatwave of the season. Not only are these numbers high enough that i mean, you have a tough time activating to this. If it was late august and we had already been through a couple of heatwave this would be rough. And the duration of this, three or four days, and the nighttime low is, are not going to cool down as much as we would like either. The fourth element of this is, we have still got a shelter in place going on. For many of us or at least you know the quarantine, which is changing day by day and week by week depending on where you live. In general we are still under some order of dont go there like the beaches. And you have really got to know your state parks. If you want to go out, you have to check in on individual locations to make sure they are allowing hikers. Many arent, some are, but there is too many to list make sure you do your research. If you are looking for ways to get outside for the heatwave, make sure your airconditioning is working and someone who you know and care about doesnt have lint condition air conditioning, this will be a test for those first its the countdown to launch at the Kennedy Space center.
