What a way to end the work week, head into a long weekend. Today the bay area had it all. Big ship, big planes, and of course the blue angels with the perfect blue backdrop. We came close to not having a fleet week at all this year. There was the threat of a government shutdown, and the fog that always lingers over the bay during fleet week, but today everything came together for a spectacular air show and parade of ships. A lot of people very excited to see the ships and the jets. And heres a time lapse of the bay crowded with boaters hoping to get the best view of the air show. But in between todays big show and tomorrows, the men and women of our military get to let loose a little and enjoy some of the fun things that San Francisco and the bay area have to offer. Betty yu is on the water front in San Francisco talking to special guests about their fun friday in the city by the bay.

Thats where we met daniel chavez, a marine that serves as a senior combat cargo assistant. I love the city. I love the architecture with all the buildings. Ive been taking a lot of pictures.

Just the people. Im really big on people. Everyone is friendly, supportive of the military. Oh, its all special. Its a great week to highlight San Francisco. And when the weather cooperates, it doesnt get better. Reporter richard thanks sailors and marines for their service. When i was younger and fresh out of boot camp, i had no idea what to say because i was just starting around here. But now i appreciate the support the local population gives me. The blue angels are usually enough to bring people to town, but as da lin shows us, the air show also had a lot to offer on land, and it was a nice surprise for some parents. Reporter the thunderous roars of the blue angels, the deafening sounds blasting above the San Francisco water front. Watching the blue angels, you know the sound and everything is amazing. Its one of those fun days that we try to do every year. Reporter mark and his friend jason brought their sons to fleet week hours before the blue angels were scheduled to fly to take in the whole experience. The kids got to sit inside a fighter jet cockpit. I kind of like it because i like jets. Reporter many families didnt mind the hot weather, saying it was perfect to kickoff fleet week. Its our third year coming out, and warmest by far for sure. Its pretty hot right now. Yeah, sun is definitely hot. But its okay. Reporter plenty of games and activities to keep the entire family busy. From robots to a u. S. Navy scuba diver playing tic tac toe with children. Im reading it backwards and upside down. The kids will write something, and i think i can figure it out. Reporter other Government Agencies join in the fun as well. Cal oes has an earthquake simulator to show a 7. 0 earthquake. But everything pretty much comes to a stop when the blue angels take over the bay area skies and turn them into their playground. All eyes and ears focused on the fighter jets flying just feet apart from each other. Plenty of spectators along the water front, folks on roof tops, and First Responders watching from the top of vehicles. They say it never gets old watching the blue angels perform. As for mark, it was mission accomplished. I think its a good bonding moment for us and the boys. If you missed our live coverage of the blue angels today, tune into 44 cable 12 saturday at 3 30 p. M. And again sunday at 3 00 p. M. For special encore presentations of our fleet week spectacular. Tonight, thousands of pg e customers in San Francisco were in the dark for hours. It looked very eerie. The utility says it was an equipment failure that cut power to 9,000 people at one point, but by 9 30 all but a couple hundred customers had their power restored. Paul, obviously a lot of people in San Francisco do not have airconditioning anyway, but if they did and the power went out, it stayed pretty warm throughout the evening. Yes, not exactly an ideal night for that to happen, but temperatures are backing down at this moment. Still one more day to go in the heat advisory. Its been extended through 11 00 p. M. Saturday for the same areas that have been under the heat advisory since 11 00 a. M. Thursday. Around the bay, down the peninsula, and santa clara valley. Well flirt with record territories, although the bay area should she a small step back. Heres where we topped out this afternoon. 95 record tying degrees in san jose. Morgan hill also hit 95. Mid90s inland in the east bay. Only 89 in fremont, but plenty of spots on the east side of the bay hit the 90s. Mid80s for half moon bay. That drops by ten degrees tomorrow, and should be a little cooler for San Francisco and oakland. Temperatures reached into the low 90s today. Into the middle portion of the 90s for most of the north bay, even up to 97 this afternoon in santa rosa. Temperatures tomorrow are still going to be very warm to even hot. Temperatures around the bay into the 80s instead of the 90s in San Francisco and oakland, but that still puts us about 14 degrees above average. Mid90s inland for one more day, but things start to change sunday. A much bigger change by monday. More on that coming up in the full forecast. Paul, thank you so much. The heat wave only lasting a few days, but Scientists Say temperatures overall sizzled so much over the past few weeks that theyre pretty disturbed. The september temperature data is mind blowing. Theyre beyond anything that climate scientists have expected. How that discovery is pointing to an alarming trend in the future. And a game time brawl during the niners game at levi stadium has the cops asking for help trying to figure out who these two people are. And could help be on the way for San Francisco Business Owners sick and tired of being targeted by thieves. The new approach to stop retail theft that some say is already working. And i got the experience of a lifetime today to ride along with fat albert for fleet week. And by the way, zero gravity, as intense as you could possibly imagine. Thats coming up next. Brian feinstein brought fleet week to San Francisco decades ago as a way to save jobs. Its evolved since then, and its much more than putting on a show. It could actually help save lives in a disaster. Reporter when Navy Petty Officer matthew wilman first heard hed be going to San Francisco for fleet week, he imagined nights on the town and drinking like, well, a sailor. Lets go tear this up. Reporter he thought he knew the drill. Instead, he was handed one. Right now were learning how to use all these different tools to break up the concrete. Ive never touched any of this before, so its a lot of fun. Reporter matthew was taking part in a fleet week Emergency Preparedness exercise at the San Francisco Fire Department training facility. A joint effort between sffd and members of the navy and marines. They really didnt tell me much. They said be ready about 6 30, and we have all the gear youll need in a bag, and just get ready, it will be an all day event. Reporter the drill includes learning how to stabilize collapsed buildings and lifting giant slabs of concrete. Its super important to have. Reporter Janine Nicholson is the chief of the San Francisco Fire Department. These exercises, she says, is what fleet week is all about. Theres a lot more to fleet week than just the blue angels, which are incredible. Part of that is preparedness and making sure that we are training with our state and federal partners to ensure that we are ready for whatever happens. Reporter and while the navy is learning how to fight fires and earthquakes on land. We can find weak spots on the deck. Reporter the sffd got a lesson on how to battle fires on ships. We have a victim somewhere in this tunnel right here. Reporter the joint exercise culminated in a friendly competition between two navy vessels. The uss Paul Hamilton and the uss john p. Murtha. We have a tunnel with a couple of concrete walls inside there. The goal is to be the first team out with that victim intact. Reporter the pressure to secure this years bragging rights is on. Is it good enough . Reporter matthew is determined to bring back the title for the Hamilton Team. Its a high stakes rescue with no rules and no holds barred. A test of skill, speed, and thinking fast on your feet. But then the murtha team, in a daring move, stole the Hamilton Teams stretcher. You might think tensions would rise fast, but instead, the two groups just fight it out. In the end, the Hamilton Team gets the stretcher and the victim. I think they did a little bet of cheating holding basket, but we were able to get it off them. We have the stronger dudes. Thats a big victory. Reporter having fun during fleet week while shoring up a win for preparedness. All right, watching a Football Game is supposed to be a good time, but when the niners took on the giants last month at levi stadium, things got out of hands in the stands and now police are looking for two people they say were involved in a fight. Police say this man and a woman assaulted two fans at a game. The fight was caht on camera, but the department doesnt know who the suspects are, so theyre asking for help from the public. They have say if you know them to contact the santa clara police. For so long weve heard these pleas for help from Business Owners in San Francisco who say theyre frustrated and have felt forgotten because they say theyve been targeted over and over again by thieves. Well tonight, the Police Department says theyre trying something new to stop them. Sfpd says theyre launching blitz operations to stop retail theft. The Department Shared videos of teams of officers arresting suspected shoplifters at the mall in downtown San Francisco earlier this week. Part of what is funding all of this, that 15. 3 million grant from the state of california meant to help cities fight organized retail crime. Its been the Biggest Health care worker strike of its kind, and some 19,000 bay area Kaiser Permanente workers that walked off the job will be back at work tomorrow. The strike ended without reaching a new deal. They were asking for better pay, benefits, and increased staffing. The strike spanned several states. 75,000 workers went on strike in total. Kaiser says talks will continue next week. The union says if that doesnt work, theyll consider a tenday strike some time next month. While our hot temperatures here in the bay area will only last for a few days for this particular heat wave were in, 2023 is actually on track to be the hottest year ever in the northern hemisphere. Anne makovec has more in our project earth report. Reporter at San Franciscos chrissy field. I love it, its toasty. Its hot. Reporter a little dip in the water brought some relief from the heat, but these unusually warm temperatures also brought a bit of uneasy. Its way hotter than ive ever experienced in San Francisco. Ive been here quite a few times, and im shocked. A lot of people here are enjoying the weather, but also doing so with a bit of fear. Reporter fear over a warming planet. And it appears justified. New evidence reveals how world temperatures are accelerating at a pace thats shocking even experts. The planets average temperature in september has now shattered the previous record by nearly one degree fahrenheit, the largest monthly margin ever observed. The september temperature data are mind blowing. Theyre beyond anything that climate scientists have expected to see at this point. Reporter dr. Peter glick is a climate scientist with the Pacific Institute in berkeley. He says while the strong el nino now developing plays a role. But it cant account for the magnitude of the increase weve seen. Not just in september, the astounding september temperatures, but north america experienced its hottest summer on record. June, july, august. Its been a relentless series of high temperatures. Reporter he points to humancaused Climate Change adding Greenhouse Gases to the atmosphere and warming the planet. High temperatures, astoundingly high temperatures were seen. Reporter and theres gratitude for a Beautiful Day today, but its a mixed feeling. Not losing hope as 2023 remains on track to be the hottest year ever recorded. The data also found the average temperatures for 2023 are expected to end up about 2. 5 degrees fahrenheit above preindustrial levels. Okay, weve been talking about this little mini heat wave were in paul, and its nice it will end because its been warm, particularly in places along the coast not used to it. San francisco, anyone without ac in this room. I dont know who you could be talking about. Perhaps yourself . Yeah, relief is on the way, but one more hot day to go. A look outside right now in san jose. Clear skies overhead. Not a hint of fog on the horizon. The heat advisory continues through 11 00 p. M. Saturday. Cooling begins sunday, but still reasonably warm. Then much cooler and breezy on monday, even a chance of showers late in the day on monday. More on that in a moment. But with clear skies again tomorrow and mostly sunny skies on sunday, all the solar panels and roof tops will soak up plenty of sunshine the next couple of days. In the short term, clear skies over San Francisco. Temperatures backing down. Still in the 70s around the bay, but into the 60s in santa rosa. 65 there already. A mix of 50s and 60s on the map by early tomorrow morning. Nice recovery from the hot temperatures. But we heat up again were to, back into the mid90s. San jose flirting with record territory. Upper 90s morgan hill. Low 90s in fremont and redwood city. Mid70 along the coast in half moon bay. You were in the mid80s today. Still mid to upper 90s inland in the east bay, but San Francisco and oakland in the 80s instead of the low 90s. Some changes already closer to the water, but further inland, including the inland valleys and north bay, were talking temperatures into the low to mid90s by saturday afternoon which is significantly above average. The spot thats most likely to see a record tying or record breaking temperature is san jose like today where you tied the record high. Likely to break it by one degree tomorrow. The record is 94. Forecasting 95. But other parts of the bay area within five degrees of record territory, except downtown San Francisco. Bakers dozen degrees below the record high of 98. We do have a change on the way with the return of the marine layer beginning early sunday morning along the coast. Your temperatures return to the 60s already. But were talking about the chance of rain thats eventually going to be heading our way. This next storm system will send the bulk of the energy and moisture towards far Northern California and the pacific northwest. But looks like a nice, organized area of rainfall approaching the coast by the time the sun comes up monday, but kind of falls apart as it moves in. Were looking at scattered showers. The best chance of measurable rain is along the coast, north of the golden gate, and around the bay. Inland east bay in the santa clara valley, cant rule it out, but not as likely youll measure anything other than a few drops. Make a trace of total rainfall. And that holds off until after the niners game sunday evening. If youll be tailgating, you have all day to do it. Temperatures will be warm on the black top of the parking lots around levi, so be prepared for the heat during the day and dropping temperatures as we head through the game. Back into the 60s by the second half or so. Lets take a look at the sevenday forecast. Well start with those inland parts of the bay area, which are going to be at their hottest point tomorrow. Likely the last time well see the record threatening high temperatures on saturday. 80s sunday, then a couple of days in the 70s before returning to near average temperatures later next week. Temperatures drop around the bay monday and tuesday with a better chance of rain. Along the coast you get the earlier cool down. Already retreating to closer to normal temperatures tomorrow, but still warm. And several days in the mid60s before a bit more of a baby warm up late next week pushes the coastal temperatures to around 70 by thursday and friday. All right, thanks, paul. Coming up in sports, the 49ers defense already one of the best in the nfl, and it just got better. Well tell you about San Franciscos newest defensive weapon after the break. Obviously everybodys all in on the niners. This is the first game where ive started to hear a little bit of doubt and concern creep in just a little bit. We know how cowboys fans are. Yeah, its definitely the biggest test for them. Theyre looking to stay undefeated sunday. Dallas and jerry jones coming to town. Prime time match up. But samuel and jennings carry no injury designation going into the game, but Elijah Mitchell has been ruled out. On the defensive side of the ball, help is on the way, as if it was needed. 49ers agreed to a trade with the broncos for randy gregory. San francisco traded away a sixth round pick in 2024, but gets a seventh rounder back in return. Gregory had six sacks in 2021. Now, hes had issues with suspensions in the past, but Kyle Shanahan is positive hell make an impact on the team. People speak highly of him, and im excited about the character of the guy ive been told from everyone that knows him. We love the tape. I know hes messed up at times in the past, but the type of person ive been told he is, im excited to have him here. Hell have to wait a week because you get traded on a friday, you dont play sunday. But it will be fun to see him play. And should be a good game. Yes, it will be interesting, and the fans will be here in force. Oh, they will be. Matt, don
