Pale more the increase in temperatures also bringing the increased risk of fire danger tonight, utility leaders have been going back and forth on whether or not to turn off the power to mitigate the chance of a possible wildfire outbreak we have Team Coverage tonight noelle bellow has more on cal iso is latest developments and dan thorn has reaction from residents who were left in the dark last night but first happening tonight, a red flag warning will go into effect at 11 oclock tonight it will last until tomorrow morning at 11 across the bay area. Monterey and san benito counties are already in a red flag warning fast moving storms can lead to a risk of dry lightning which could start wildfires. So not only is the fire danger really increase our fuel is already the critical level or grass crops you see in the hills are already a groundout or brush component now a very critical levels lower than weve seen in years and our timber component is right behind it so that makes the latter fuel that as up to march fire potential which were facing right now adage that this evening, the National Weather service is forecasting potential of dry lightning with some thunderstorms down across the bay area so that isnt helping our cause either. And those storms are expected to develop in the santa cruz area and in the south bay and then start moving north so for more on this red flag warning and the continued heat wave we want to bring in our chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow lauras that dry lightning thats fairly scary. It is scary stuff you get the lightning with the rain. Pam of course that helps to kind of dampen things and make things less of a fire condition, but worry prime now weve seen a couple of days of some record breaking heat all around the bay area now were throwing in the threat of some thunderstorms and so. Yeah, red flag warnings have been posted across the entire bay area but i should mention i think most of the activity i think overnight tonight and into tomorrow morning. Well probably come near the coastal sections but certainly these are very difficult to forecast these storms are going to be quick inning and moving through as we head through a late tonight and early tomorrow morning. So well watch this is a plays out it looks like were going to see a potential for some lightning strikes developing around the bay area were starting to see some of that subtropical moisture coming in right now you can see it on the line cam right there just some of those clouds no thunderstorms developing just yet havent seen anything off the coastline, but we certainly have lightning strikes already in california see numerous thunderstorms popping up to the Central Valley also up in the Sierra Nevada, but you see all the plume of moisture just off the coastline right down here you see begin to come up, thats what were going to watch rolling into the bay area as we head throughout the night tonight and tomorrow morning seen some of those clouds off the coastline right now those are we saw in that latest image outside but were going to see more that kind of thinking up and watch it happen. The models begin to pick up on this and you see these bands coming up and here you go you see a band coming through as we have specially in toward tomorrow morning. I think thats where were going to see the best chance of some of these thunderstorms kind of unusual usually you need the afternoon get the heating to see some of these thunderstorms pop up but theres a potential for some isolated thunderstorms tomorrow morning through about the middle of the day and then i think as we get toward the afternoon that band of some tropical moisture kind of moves out, but were not done there weve got more that that is likely going to move in and of more he too so well talk about that and just how long this heat wave is going to last coming up in a few minutes all right lawrence, thank you. Well our Team Coverage continues now with noelle bellow she has been following cal iso is announcement originally was not planning for any Power Outages today, but no well as we know some areas are being affected by these rolling outages. And thats right pam, its been a bit of a back and forth messaging between cal iso mpg any over the last couple of days as you know last nights outages came with little to no warning and cal iso said earlier that was result of plants being offline. Lack not any we 2 power plants that were out of service, one with a 750 megawatt power plants that have been out of service for several days. And another one of 500 megawatt unit tripped off line ri were entering the peak demand hours. And so those at the at the. Probably the poorest we likely would not have had to go to h 3 week probably could have it in stage 2. However that hes made today. But the power plant are in service. Now despite those being in service pg e said that based on Current ConditionsPower Outages between 5 this afternoon and 10 oclock this evening would be possible. If cal iso ordered them now cal iso said earlier they were not expecting any of those outages but about 2 hours after we spoke with them they did declare a stage 3 emergency in some areas now heres a look at the current Power Outages, according to pg and es website as you can see theres definitely some outages in the bay area but were told none of these are a part of the state ordered rotations however as you make your way down the some have already rolled back on but there is at least one. They hear santa cruz, monterey and san joaquin counties, those are the areas where power had been deliberately shot off. Earlier this evening, a pg e said in a statement quote we must conserve energy over the next few days during this heat wave cal iso says theyre also monitoring the temperatures for monday and tuesday and are going to send out an update as conditions arise for now live in the newsroom.

Well what we want to happen of okay with that i know. Ahead of time so they can prepare for it. San anselmo do has been providing sweet treats for people to cool down but a power outage without notice puts the businesses frozen desserts at risk and we can show them anything as the heat wave rolls on pg and e suggests people conserve energy to avoid straining the greed. Ive been closing the blinds all day trying to keep it who are trying to stay outdoors as much as possible kind of beat the heat bay. They being in nature.

Theres some like this are becoming a little weird that they didnt give us any medicine. A spokesperson with pg and e told us the utility was not given enough advance notice to warn customers last night about outages today. Pg says Power Outages could happen up until 10 oclock tonight, almost 50,000 gallons of raw sewage spilled into the open estuary at lake last night during the blackout signs for route warning boaters to stay away. We talked with an east bay municipal utility district spokesperson about what happened to the Wastewater Treatment plant and when they were notified of this incident. Really learned about it when the lights went out or pump station got flooded that pumping station was not working our crews worked to try and get it back. Meantime we store the excess waste water that was being backed up behind the system and unfortunately or storage tanks overflowed. The utilities ers district says its investigating the incident and will issue reports later this week that spokeswoman says the Treatment Plant does have a backup generator, but since there was no notice before the blackout there wasnt enough time to turn it on today workers spent the day readying the plant for other possible blackouts should they happen as we move further into the fire season is important that you stay connected make sure to download the kron 4 app there you can find a list of cooling centers around the bay, we also have updates on the latest weather warnings and any Power Outages and you can check the forecast in your area for this scorching hot weekend weather.

Were not just talking about whats happening in washington dc were talking about whats happening in real peoples lives and while recent polls show that President Trump is trailing joe biden the president does have an advantage in enthusiasm with his own base.

Whether youre spending the day out on the water or a cooling Center People are finding different ways to stay cool in the extreme heat, were not getting in overnight. Temperatures that buildings are not calling off the infrastructure doesnt have a chance to cool down spokeswoman for the California Independent system operator says the consecutive days of triple digit temperatures put a strain on the power grid forcing them to declare a stage 3 emergency meeting to statewide rotating blackouts friday night we have extremely high heat. You know causing people to want to turn on their air conditioners and because of that electricity demand basically we could not have enough energy to cover the and at a certain time on the grid is the first time a stage 3 emergency have been issued in 19 years our number one responsibility is to make sure that. The keeps flowing the blackouts began around 6. 30 by 9 oclock the grid had stabilized in power was being restored the emergency order was lifted just before 10 00pm. But more outages could be on the way if the heat wave continues, this is a rare to rare that yes and a last resort right now the state is under a great warning notice meaning grid operators and dissipate using electricity reserves and that activates their demand Response Program to decrease usage were hoping that we do not you have to call for rotating Power Outages.

Newly appointed us postmaster general louis enjoy was given a rude awakening this morning, hundreds of noisy protesters descended upon his washington dc home amid claims that he is engaging in Voter Suppression the protest was led by the group called shutdown d c the joy, a donor to the Trump Campaign is being accused of dismantling the u. S. Postal service and actively suppressing voters ahead of novembers election. The president has said that he is not in favor of mail in ballots and take a look at this mail boxes being loaded up onto trucks and hauled away in the last week the u. S. Postal service has. Remove some letter collection boxes in new york oregon montana and indiana. A usps spokesperson said theyve only remove mailboxes that do both duplicate was more than one in one general location, however today the post office is now say that it will stop removing those blue mailboxes in some states until after the election meanwhile, the Postal Services told workers in 4 other states it will begin cutting hours of retail operations. Jessica schneider reports. When florida holds its primary election on tuesday President Trump in the first lady will be voting by mail the couple requesting ballots as President Trump has repeatedly claimed mail in voting leads to widespread voter fraud said it will end up being fraudulent because if you look at whats happened over the last few weeks just look at the few. Instances where this has happened is turned out to be for a job but cnns Fact Checking team has consistently debunked that claim more states are adopting universal mail in balloting or ballots are automatically mailed to every registered voter. New jersey is just the latest state that makes 9 states plus washington dc that will now give all voters the option to vote by mail and most also have in person voting known as a hybrid model everybody gets about. So were going have a hybrid model in november, meanwhile, some voters in virginia New Hampshire in dc say they are increasingly confused by election information theyre receiving in the mail. In dc there were erroneous instructions and a New Hampshire and virginia the mailers contained errors in the return address. In Pennsylvania Republicans raced toward a friday night deadline to turn over evidence that proves their claims of mail and voter fraud in the states primaries, it will be a Pivotal Point in a critical battleground state. The Trump Campaign has sued to demand changes to pennsylvanias mail in balloting process. But now a judge is making them prove their problems. Democrats saying republicans should not be permitted to raise such spectacular fraud related claims particularly in this national climate. This is the fight over funding at the u. S. Postal service continues with a new letter from postmaster general louis dejoy obtained by cnn showing the trump appointee and longtime republican donor acknowledging some of the recent changes have had unintended consequences impacting the level of service. But the joy says the cuts are necessary since the usps is Financial Condition is dire people have to go to the polls and vote like the old days, cnn has learned the president met with postmaster dejoy last week at the height of funding talks as he opposed widespread vote by mail President Trump is lying about vote by mail. He is lying about mail ballots. Colorado has a very clean history of running great elections with vote by mail. Again now is just the schneider reporting were learning tonight that the internal watchdog for the Postal Service will now review the recent changes made by the postmaster general louis dejoy they include the elimination of overtime as well as service slowdowns Inspector General also look into whether to joy has complied with the federal ethics rules. Now this comes as lawmakers from both parties have sounded the alarm on these recent changes calling them disruptive. Meanwhile today President Trump defended recent actions made by the joy. We have a man in there for 2 months, hes a very talented and hes a brilliant business person hes done great, hes a very nice man also. And lewis he working very hard but as you know the democrats are improving the proper funding for postal, and theyre not approving the proper funding for this ridiculous thing that they want to do which is all mail in voting. If the universal you could call it mail in voting. Again absentee voting is great you request an absentee voter because i requested i got and then i sent in my vote so that works out very well thats what weve had. But now they want to send in millions and millions of ballots. And you see whats happening there being lost there being discarded, theyre finding them in piles. Its going to be a catastrophe. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the board of governors for the Postal Agency needs 25 billion dollars in Postal Service funding for the upcoming election. Meanwhile, the joy has repeatedly denied the changes are meant to disrupt service just as saying that the cuts are necessary because of the financial situation. The Postal Service is in. And just into our newsroom House Democrats are now considering a return to washington next week in order to address issues related to the u. S. Post served a Postal Service. Possibly legislation would be designed to protect Postal Service is currently being changed by the new postmaster louis to join that legislation could put big changes to the postal sorting devices prevent facility closures protect overtime pay and maintain delivery schedules. Even if the house does pass such measures though they will likely stall in the republican controlled senate.

Of americans lost their jobs when the pandemic started and now months later some people still have not received unemployment aid as Vanessa Yurkevich reports for those who have received it. It can be too little too late. And negative money i had negative a 170 something dollars in my bank account. For more than 4 months daniel vote waited for unemployment after losing his bartending job in washington d c last week, a debit card finally arrived loaded with thousands of dollars in unemployment back pay when you look at that card. What what i mean what do you think. I was really apathetic about. This country has seen it have a lot of opportunities to do the right thing and take the. The other option every time so the damage is already done he maxed out his credit card and says he got evicted by his roommates after he couldnt make rent. Now hes living with his dad in the bronx said give me the money. Earlier i wouldnt it wouldnt have been this big of a problem in the amount of money they gave me would have been fun but now i have all these compounded problems. The safety net failed vote and hes not alone. The pandemic has cost the u. S. Nearly 13 million jobs, leaving americans to face a system illequipped to handle the surge. The consequences are real without more government aid up to 40 million americans face eviction by the end of the year nobody pays attention to Unemployment Insurance when. The Unemployment Rate is 3 or 4 . So some states just sort of ignored their system since the last recession to make it harder for people to get benefits. Mike lee arrington. She applied for unemployment and pandemic unemployment assistance. But after months of waiting she says the Georgia Department of labor denied her both because she was terminated from her job last september due to attendance. She was the medical proxy for her terminally ill sister and had to make the decision to end her life. Her grief made it hard to get out of bed. Each persons particular circumstances. Needs to be individually heard ultimately i was not at fault for my sister dions and it calls me total financial chaos. She says shes 15,000 in debt hasnt been able to make rent in months. She sends her 15 yearold daughter to friends homes to get 3 full meals a day. Arrington says she applies for jobs every day. But with millions of other americans looking its been an uphill battle. And any offers cell. Pretty much just still continued to us to search and the can. Of this book forward. Out of options arrington says she is appealing her unemployment decision. This appeal is her last hope. I still have no relief when any of my financial situations seems to be getting worse. But im im remaining hopeful. That was the message your coverage reporting report published by the Aspen Institute found 40 million americans could be evicted by the end of this year and also found the u. S. May be facing the most severe housing prices in history. If conditions do not change. Was that he now possibly some dry lightning could cause some fire concerns around t more than 80 Million People are under some sort of heat warning watch or advisory. This weekend several states from here to texas are expected to report the hottest temperatures of the summer as britt conway tells us those extreme conditions are raising fire risks in areas already dealing with wildfire evacuations. A dangerous mix scorching heat and dry conditions, raising fire concerns across the west friday into the weekend 11 states expected to report the hottest temperatures of the summer. Temperatures nearing that a 110 degree mark that is hot people from texas to california 85 Million People. Are under some sort of heat warning watch or advisory and thats making things more difficult for crews already battling wildfires in colorado, oregon and california. In Los Angeles County authorities have issued evacuation orders for areas impacted by 2 large wildfires. The ranch to fire in a souza has burned about 2500 acres. Authorities there are looking for this man who they say intentionally started that blaze. The lake fire near Santa Clarita has burned more than 17,000 acres. So far. And destroyed more than 20 structures theres been areas of this fire that have not burned in decades. This in an accessible to rain which has added to the complexity of the fire. The triple digit heat also creating a power emergency. The higher demand for electricity, forcing Southern California edison to issue rolling blackouts in colorado crews are battling 3 different fires and in oregon a fire in wasco county also giving firefighters a hard time with no relief in sight. Its going to be a very very hot dry weekend. And was britt conway reporting again pg and e says there may be outages up until 11 until 10 oclock tonight and heres the video of the night as of the firefighters didnt have enough to deal with the also faced a different kind of challenge yesterday. They had run away from a fullgrown ball, his name is ferdinand check out the cell phone video shot by some the firefighters in Ventura County you can see the ball here he comes literally chasing them down the hill as theyre trying to clear out a road. The Ventura County firefighters posted this video on Twitter Twitter ferdinand was showing them before hes the get out of the road can out of the road. All right, lets take a live look outside tonight at the Golden Gate Bridge usually at this hour is routed in fall looks like its just a haze around the like mom that meteorologist Lawrence Karnow is here with the details or yeah boy weve got that the hot weather setting up and you saw that hot dry weather. Of the desert southwest, were all part of that same big dome of High Pressure really a heat dome that has settled in now. And it looks like they want to move away any time too soon that means were left of the heat record breaking temperatures, well see this play out over the next few days in fact we may watch temperatures cool slightly tomorrow only to come back up again i think in the beginning of this next week Something Else were tracking right now is the possibility of some lightning weve seen numerous lightning strikes over the Sierra Nevada around that big ridge of High Pressure get that clockwise rotation all of a sudden if you get a little subtropical moisture may be a former hurricanes moisture from that begins to wrap around the top of that ridge is start to roll into california and thats what were expecting to see for tonight in fact you see some of those clouds off the coastline right now thats a little subtropical moisture so far no lightning strikes just yet certainly the possibility and were talking about thunderstorms rolling in and the possibility of dry lightning. So youre not in that rain, its just been too hot and dry near the surface so when it rains that water actually evaporates before it hits the ground so youre left with dry lightning which is extremely dangerous and can start fires look at the possibility of fires all around the bay area, the entire bay area sitting under red flag warning but i think the main concern near the coast layers i think thats where most that some tropical moisture may come in overnight tonight and early tomorrow morning, the one good thing. Its coming in the Morning Hours and usually dont have the lift to produce the thunderstorms but again theres the possibility of some of those lightning strike, heres a look at it as youll see overnight tonight, some of the clouds rolling on in and then the models start to pick up on some of those raindrops even in the north bay you see that. Yeah, the models possibly bringing some thunderstorms in the north bay about 00 30am in the morning. These very fast moving very difficult to forecast a larger swath of moisture moving right through San Francisco extending into parts of the east bay as we head toward a lot of part of the morning and then i think by the afternoon of breaks up a little bit older return again by tomorrow night some that moisture once again rolling in across the bay area now overnight lows are going to stay relatively warm. And thats one of the reasons why we have heat advisories up for much of the bay area and excessive heat warnings. Her body has not given a chance to really recover from the hot temperatures during the day overnight lows tonight talking 71 in concord for a low 77 in antioch 71 limb or 70 in fremont you get the idea these temperatures staying uncomfortable and warm throughout the night now there is a sign that were going to see things begin to shift gears a not for a while were going to keep things hot right through the weekend slight chance of thunderstorms tomorrow morning hot muggy in the afternoon continuing with that heat maybe even getting hotter on monday and tuesday, then by wednesday think we see more of a sea breeze kicking those temperatures finally begin to cool down. Time now for schools. All right here we go todays game 2 of the bay bridge series the as took game one after the implosion of the giants defense of the 9th inning last night.
