Cartoonist straight, including areas of venetia in vallejo. And then as we head over towards the east, not only are east bay hill but our east bay valley locations and down through areas of the diablo range. It really is our inland communities that are baking this afternoon. Take a look at what is going on for the inner east bay. It is one of three right now in brentwood, one of five reported in livermore and in the north bay 100 degrees at this hour in santa rosa, you get closer to the water and hard to believe that Half Moon Bay is sitting at 59 degrees and fog. If we go to the peninsula, its warm one here as well. Areas over Los Altos Hills reporting 100 did one and then lets go back to the east bay because there are several areas reporting low one hundreds. At this time, you can see areas overwhelm it. Creek reporting 102103 as you mentioned a moment ago. Dublin reporting one oh, three pittsburgh reporting 104, and we typically see our temperatures peak right about now or over the course of the next hour or so this is going to be the hardest day of the week. We are going to cool things down. Although its going to be a gradual trend. Its also hazy out here today with the spare the air alert in place. Better details on the air quality and what you can expect for the rest of the week. Temperature wise coming up in just a little bit. Okay rosemary. Thank you. Well everyone really feeling that heat today, especially in the east bay ktvu tom baker. Joining us now live from Discovery Bay, where temperatures were well over 100 degrees earlier today, tom, how are you and everyone else out there getting by . I was a little warm out here to say the least. The Weather Service predicted that it would be 109 degrees out here. Its currently 103. But well probably get to 105. And perhaps if this breeze slows down a little bit may get higher than that. But even those temperatures even for here, thats hot. Delta breeze is one factor that makes Discovery Bay not only bearable but preferable to many residents and visitors. But most of the folks here understand extreme heat is not to be trifled with. It doesnt stop us. We still go out. We do most of our walking bike riding in the mornings and evenings, so , yeah. So you learn to manage . Yes yes. We love it out here. People stay indoors. Um find places that are air have less ca result, Discovery Bay with this president s its seniors, and all of its many tourists that come here is a summer wonderland. But even here 109 degrees, you wont see a lot of people outside there, either in the shade or inside, but on super hot days for the Fire Department calls for heat illness from passing out to heatstroke can increase. We can be very busy and be responding to, uh, people with heat illness that can happen when people dont realize the effect that he can have on their body and theyre going about their normal day and scientific Weather Research center. The first Street Foundation just released a study about how how rapidly temperatures are rising. Currently the hottest seven days of the year over the summer in Discovery Bay. Are expected to be 102 degrees or more over the next 30 years. Those days will actually increase to be 15 days. You would expect 15 of those so roughly just over two weeks of those temperatures instead of a normal two day hospital, they , too, will be longer expect to see at least four days over 102 degrees in consecutive days in the next 30 years, and thats what you would expect to see every year kind of past that that was dangerous to todays temperatures can be. For some, its up to when it becomes much harder, harder and much longer heats for much longer periods of time, then we really have to raise our defenses both for our bodies to take the heat and things like air conditioning, and no ones going to escape that reporting live. Tom baker, ktvu fox tuning. All right, tom. Thank you. Well now we go to San Francisco this afternoon.

Making a serious toll on wildlife across the state experts say many animals are struggling to find water and food, and thats prompting them to shift their behavior or migration patterns in order to survive, often that is leading to more potentially dangerous interactions with humans. Joining us now to talk about these issues is sarah lynn bowser, with the Conservation Society of california. At the oakland zoo. Great to have you on today. We appreciate the time lay it out for everyone. What . What kind of stress is our prolonged drought putting on wildlife here in california . Hey its great to be here, so really , to answer a question and kind of get right into it. Drought really leads to a lot of severe environmental stress for a lot of our native wildlife here in california. Now we have some animals who might be more resilient and can handle that extra environmental stress. But then we do have some species that might already be endangered , already facing other threats and having these extra problems, just make things a lot worse for them. And what are some of the species that are most vulnerable to the effects of the drought. So different species will be affected by drought in different ways. So to kind of start if you think in the track of migratory birds, right they, california is a really key link of the pacific flyway. Now these birds are actually going to be flying like 4000 miles between their summer in winter homes and wetlands and waterways are going to be a really key rest out for them to kind of rest and recover and be able to continue along your journey. Now, whenever we have severe drought in its prolonged like it might be right now, youre actually theyre not able to have those rest stops there might completely far off their migratory pattern and lead to a lot of other issues with their migration. Another thing right now, as i talk about extra environmental stressors of this drought might cause a lot of waterfowl and shorebirds right now are actually under threat from h p a. I, which is basically like the bird flu and unfortunately as a disease that theyre already suffering from that it has been seen here in california back in. I believe july and so far this disease had led to, you know the death or illness and death and about 28 million birds across the United States since january. So again, this is a disease that these these birds are already facing. And by having this extra drought that can make that just a little bit worse for them. Its kind of a compounding factor there. Another group of seats or another group of animals would be amphibians are frogs, salamanders. These are animals that are really going to rely on water. Its literally in their name. Um and fabian, meaning water and land that dual life cycle there. So when they dont have the water that they need to be able to stay safe and healthy, maybe the vernal pools that salamanders need to be able to breed. Its going to lead to a lot of potential problems and again as species that might already have other factors like kittredge fungus, which is a fungus that is now throughout the world and actually one of the oakland zoos conservation projects with our native yellow legged frogs, trying to help them be able to survive hatred, fungus, but of course, when you have drought and habitat loss that doesnt make it any easier about animals, changing their their habits, their behave. A viewer may be moving into new areas to try to find the water that theyre desperately looking for. How does that potentially lead to more dangerous interactions with humans . Yeah absolutely. So when there are drought and there are these stressors in the environment, you might have some animals that start encroaching a little bit more into an urban environment. So, for example, thats when you might start having more bears and mountain lions are raccoons, skunks, animals like that moving in where they can find the resources that they need. But of course, sometimes that leads to less than positive interactions with people and having everybody in closer quarters like that, potentially going for the same resources can lead to a lot of issues or human beings might think that an animal coming in. Theres a potential threat, but really, theyre just trying to stay alive and trying to stay healthy. It also leads to potential issues even outside of urban environments where animals might be congregating in ways that they normally wouldnt before and so theyre all going to the same resources all going to the same dwindling water sources. And thats when you start to see flare ups of disease, and in the past years, you might have had canine december again. Like we said, now with, uh hp ai that bird influenza, thats theyre having a lot of birds flock together. Um then you really just have these breeding grounds for disease to really be transmitted between different animals just quickly before we go. I just a brief answer, but a lot of people might be curious if its a good ideas of just put some water outside in their backyard. Thinking that it might might help some of these animals with with the Drought Conditions right now. Is that a good idea . Is that a smart thing to do . As much as we would love to. We know that it comes from a great place in your heart because those water again having those animals congregate in odd ways. It is not the best time especially with those threats from disease, especially for birds and other animals. So even though its coming from the right place, not necessarily the best thing to do. Okay sarah bouncer with the Conservation Society of california at the oakland zoo, really appreciate you coming on today. Thank you. Thank you so much. Nevadas lake mead is hitting a very low point as this drought dries up the colorado river, driving one of the countrys largest reservoirs , and the federal government taking action with new mandatory water cuts. Now, state leaders are tasked with finding a solution to preserve the river basin as well as like me. Are we panicked . No were working actively with the seventh basin states on strategies. To either conserve more water or use less water in the system. We worked hand in hand with the basin state water officials on a you know a daily or weekly basis to make determinations about how much water we have in storage and the best way to use it based on priority water rights. Now the view from the hoover dam spillway house shows just how low the water level is there like me near las vegas, a Public Affairs specialist with the bureau of reclamation, says the lake is 27 full. That bureau was scheduled to release a 24 month study that could determine the water cuts for 2023. Now california is the biggest user of lake mead and will begin taking reductions later if the reservoir drops to a certain level. And those cuts are outlined in past agreements and determined also by Previous Court cases, stunning to see whats happening really is. Yeah alright, President Biden today celebrated a major victory for his administration and the Democratic Party as we head toward the midterm elections as he signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law.

The bill also focuses on healthcare , extending pandemic era subsidies to help millions pay for their Health Insurance costs , and it puts caps on Prescription Drug costs for those on medicare. With this law, the American People one and the special interest lost, but republicans point to inflation at 8. 5 as the reason more Government Spending is a bad move. Gas prices may be coming down, but the price of a gallon of regular and grocery costs are still high that its called the Inflation Reduction Act, the one way to reduce inflation.

The American Lung association is seeking Grant Applications from innovative researchers right here in california and across the nation , and the hope is that these Research Projects will improve prevention detection and treatment options. For all one diseases, including lung cancer. Doctor albert rizzo is the chief medical officer of the American Lung association. Thank you so much doctor for being here, boy. This is really an important opportunity with a variety of grants. How critical is this work . Well we think its very important. The American Lung association has been supporting research for over 115 years as the whole list oldest voluntary Health Agency in the country defeated tuberculosis in this country years ago, and now we really think defeating lung cancer and dealing with all the issues around vaping. Wildfire smoke really important to get money out there for important researchers to get the work done. There are a lot of different aspects that youre seeking researchers to look into. And what did the grants doctor is for covid19 research and respiratory virus research. I mean, there are still a lot about the coronavirus that we dont know, and other respiratory viruses that could potentially have pandemic that could potentially lead to pandemics. Correct we added the covid19 grants just two years ago when covid started because we knew it was an important lung disease. We know now its going on to develop long covid and really affects the whole body. So we want to be very strategic and giving dollars to that research along with the important things around lung cancer and other lung diseases such as asthma and copd. Yeah i mean, you know you you mentioned about asthma. We hear a lot of people here in the bay area, complaining about asthma. Also complaining about allergies. Tell me a little bit about the Research Work thats going into both of those aspects of that revolves around not only the asthma itself and the underlying pathology in the lung, but also what are the triggers for the asthma, especially in areas where there was wildfire smoke . Poor air quality due to particle pollution. All of those factors play a role in determining someones risk to go on to worsen their disease. Whether its underlying as what were actually caused symptoms of bronchitis and end up admissions to the hospital, so it really ranges the basic science all the way to the clinical bedside treatments that we have available, and doctor as we judged. Just touched on. There are a number of topics that youre looking for. Researchers to really, you know, delve into theres one thats a lung Cancer Discovery award. A little bit about what the goal of that Research Project is. Mostly is awards are 100,000 per year for two years, and were really aiming to get researchers who are already in the fieldeeded cs that we need for further disease. So really ranges from the game, the basic science interception of cancer all the way to coming up with new forms of therapy. Certainly the targeted therapies and, you know, therapy of open products of the research, some of which was started by basic Research Funded by the Lung Association 10 15 years ago, and when you put out the call for researchers , is that community willing to come forward and help . It is difficult for you. To make the selections. Its very difficult because its competitive process. We have a lot of individuals across the country who applied for these grants, and we put together fairly rigorous Scientific Team who has to review these over the course of several weeks, if not longer, and then award the money that we have available to the most worthy projects. Its very similar to the way that the nih grades studies and rewards them based on merit. Okay so, doctor walk us through the timeline today. You kind of kicked off this announcement seeking those researchers what happens next . Well we next look for the letters of intent. Individuals can apply to us, saying that they have an intention to apply for a full grant. We do go through a process of screening those to narrow it down to those who will then ultimately provide the information for full Grant Application in early next year, when we finally have the Research Applications about 6 to 7 months to go through the process, and w the awards early next summer. As you mentioned, the American Lung association has really been a leader in this type of research. When you look back over the years in which these projects have been underway, how big of a difference has this type of Research Made . Its very important for a couple of reasons. It keeps some individuals in the field who started out with a small grant from the American Lung association. They stay in the field because theyre able to get that funding and they go on to become very important researchers leading to great important discoveries the discovery of surfactant to help premature infants survive acute respiratory distress syndrome was part of funding initiated by the American Lung association, so i want to keep people in the field of pulmonary medicine and research. Funded and keep them leveraging their work, so it was on to really pay dividends in the long run. Alright well, its really important work. Thank you for what you do really appreciate it, doctor. Thank you for the opportunity to be here. A new study finds pharmaceutical companies are unveiling new Prescription Drugs this year at record high prices, according to a reuters analysis.
