shift in the weather. we heard mark say the wind is not too bad right now. what needs to happen in the next few hours for firefighters to gain more? >> yeah we're seeing the wind speeds quite a different story than yesterday at this time. we did have gusts up to 30 miles per hour plus. very strong gusty winds at the hill tops. the last peak wind gust was 21 miles per hour but the sustained winds about 8 to 12 miles an hour so that's not too bad. temperature not too bad. mid-70s outside and still low 80s around parts of the north bay. you see humidity at 45%. right now those winds not too strong and the temperatures which typically could be in the 90s, 70s and 80s right now, so we'll see the winds increase slightly mainly at those lower elevations, about 15 to 20 miles per hour and then decrease later tonight and maybe this could be a little bit of a benefit from the weather. we're thinking as we get through tonight and into tomorrow morning, low clouds may spill back in close to the elevation of the fire. maybe slightly below that. we'll see increasing humidity and increasing cloud cover and maybe some misty skies for parts of the north bay. heading into tomorrow morning, hopefully good news for firefighters. as long as those wind speeds stay down and the temperatures stay down that should help things out as we head towards tomorrow morning. back to you. >> thank you rob. i want to show you an illustration of just how fast the wildfire has been spreading. this is a time lapse. the video was shot last night but we've sped it up. you can see the flames really moving along quickly. here's the capper to this. this original clip used for the time lapse, it was only two minutes long, so we of course will be tracking this wildfire all night long. you can stay updated on our nbc bay area app and following us on facebook and twitter. we have new details in the deadly shooting of a hayward police officer. the suspect is in custody but this investigation is far from over. today a somber procession of dozens of officers escorted the body of sergeant scott lunger from the coroner's office in oakland to the chapel of chimes in hayward. as funeral plans are being

fallen officer. today his friends and colleagues escorted his body here to the chapel of the chimes. >> this is sad, it's a sad experience, you know. no need for it. >> reporter: friends, colleagues

unprovoked. >> reporter: tonight hayward police have released surveillance video of a light four-door sedan seen near the suspect's east oakland home shortly after the shooting. they're hoping somebody recognizes the car so they can talk to the driver. meanwhile, hundreds are showing their gratitude for the officer's sacrifice. >> my husband used to be a former police officer. scott was a very close friend to him. it's just really hard to take in, you know. >> yeah we're grateful for what he did for us and the community and our kids and hopefully our future police officers. >>

thursday at castro valley's neighborhood church. reporting live in hayward, i'm jodi hernandez, nbc bay area news. >> jodi thank you. so where is the suspect? mark estrada is still recovering from gunshot wounds at highland hospital this evening. at some point today he was expected to be transferred to the santa rita jail in dublin but not yet. that transfer could still happen tonight. we spoke with his attorney. >> we believe that there should not be any determination or judgment passed on marco until all the facts are in and that's going to take time and work and interfacing with the district attorney in this case. >> just a short while ago, our sister station, telemundo, spoke with estrada's mother who describes her son was someone with a good heart who has never had any legal problems. estrada is accused of shooting sergeant lunger almost immediately after he was pulled over. one witness watched helplessly as paramedics tried to save the sergeant's life. >> when i seen him laying in the street, wow, he paid his life -- with his life for keeping the peace. you know just -- we don't -- we don't appreciate i guess, we don't appreciate what the law enforcement does for the community. >> there are plenty of people mourners honoring lunger's sacrifice by leaving flowers and mementos at the memorial outside of the hayward police department headquarters. we want to review those funeral details for you one more time. the memorial service planned, the viewing is tentatively set for next wednesday at the chapel of chimes there in hayward. the time for that viewing has not

the first on woodridge way yesterday afternoon. the carjackers found the victim by answering an ad on craigslist. the second in the parking lot of east ridge mall around 9:00 last night. damian trujillo spoke with one of the victims. damian they're telling a harrowing story, so frightening. >> reporter: it really was for the victim here on woodridge. bizarre events of twists and turns here on woodridge from the victim chasing a suspect to a child being in that suspect's car. broken glass still marks the spot where one of the two carjackings took place. >> i was holding the white car and knocked on the window. >> reporter: the victim didn't want us to show his face. he put this car up for sale on craigslist and got a call from a potential buyer. >> i told him we'll meet outside of lucky or in and out. then he said no let's meet at my house, maybe it's more safety. so i think in front of my house it might be more safe. >> reporter: the suspect showed up with a woman and a child. after going for a test drive, the victim says the robber took off with his car, leaving the woman and child behind. the victim then jumps on the car the woman arrived in breaking her window. that's when the carjacking suspect returned. >> he u-turned and then he goes forward toward me and tried to run me over. >> hit the victim with the victim's vehicle, striking him, sending him on the hood and then off to the ground. the vehicle then subsequently with the suspect driving it took off. >> reporter: the woman and child took off as well. the victim decided to chase her through the streets of san jose. police say that wasn't the right thing to do. >> we would advise against that. >> someone tried to run you over and you get mad, you just want to catch them. >> reporter: the suspects got away. hours later, another carjacking in the east ridge mall parking lot in front of 24-hour fitness. two men with guns confronted a victim and took his car. at this point, police don't think the cases are related. tonight the craigslist victim realizes it could have been much worse for him. >> after the incident is over, i mean you get scared because someone tried to run you over. >> reporter: and the suspects involved here on woodridge involved an african-american male and a latina woman. and again, a child, age about 4 to 6 years old. they were driving an early 2000 bmw. now that bmw obviously has a shattered window and a lot of dents on that car. police advise if you're going to make a craigslist transaction, it's better to make it at police headquarters. we're live in san jose i'm damian trujillo, nbc bay area. bail is now set at $200,000 for a man accused of setting his san jose apartment complex on fire. craig morales did his best to avoid our cameras during a preliminary hearing today. he's accused of sparking a fire saturday near japantown that spread through the complex and destroyed several units. as we first reported here earlier this week neighbors claim the fire could have been prevented had police arrested morales during a confrontation with officers earlier that night. >> i personally feel that the situation could have been dealt with in a different manner. that my friend had a really bad history of mental illness and we needed that help. >> san jose police tell us they're still investigating this case. new at 6:00 tonight, the sign says it all. it is a plea for help if you will. it's a splashy new idea for getting people to stop using san francisco alleys and walls as toilets. so be forewarned. if you decide to water those local buildings, those buildings will water you back. nbc bay area's christie smith joins us live from san francisco with more on this splashy paint. >> reporter: that's right. peach el who relieve themselves in public may be in for a surprise, at least if they're not paying attention. there are now test signs up in parts of san francisco reminding folks to find an appropriate bathroom. they may find ifm. around parts of san francisco, the stink is obvious. architect john jackson says he's had enough. >> public peeing is an issue in the city. when i come to work that's usually all i smell walking down the street. >> the pee wall is solution that we are testing. >> reporter: public works director mohammed nuru says in about ten locations they have installed a liquid repellent test paint. in a demonstration, water was used. >> when people urinate on the wall the pee actually bounces back and hits your pants or gets you wet. and so we are piloting it to see if we can discourage people from peeing on many of our hot spots. >> reporter: the product has had success overseas. in san francisco, it's paired with a sign saying to hold it and to seek relief in an appropriate place, but not much about the potential for getting wet. marquez boyd cleans city streets for public works. >> i've been cleaning up human waste, dog waste, paint, oil spills dirt. >> reporter: overall steam cleaning requests are down about 17%. public works believes that's in part due to the expansion of the pit stop staff bathroom program. >> we need lots more public bathrooms. >> reporter: some want more options. some think the paint is worth trying but old habits die hard. >> if that deters them they'll just move to the next wall. >> reporter: a number of residents that we spoke with were excited about the potential of this. they want to see how it turns out. this test will run three to six months. the idea is not really for people to test it out, but again, to find an appropriate bathroom. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, nbc bay area news. santa clara county is getting the message. in june water usage was down by 35% compared to the same time last year. that surpasses the county's goal of 30% and the state's mandate of 25% reduction. today water officials thanked businesses and nearly 2 million people living in the county for doing their part. they also urged everyone to continue to conserve despite talks of a strong el nino this winter. we have some new images to show you about just how this drought continues to impact our water supply. the department of water resources released this video showing what two northern california lakes, folsom lake east of sacramento and lake orrville near chico, what they look like. both are dramatically lower, as you can see, than they have been in years past. the agency also posted these before and after pictures on twitter. that really illustrates it. in july of 2011 this was lake folsom surrounded by trees. now much of that water is gone exposing dirt and walk. the same goes for lake oroville. this shows how close the water was to that bridge. fast forward four years and you can see how much that water has receded. that is crazy to look at those images. >> those are really dramatic pictures. let's bring in rob mayeda. rob, most of us are just looking at brown lawns, but when you see the water levels there, it really does give you pause. >> yeah the four years cumulative effect adding up there. the reservoirs across northern california and around the state, yet still most of the bay area in extreme drought conditions. as you get out closer to the central valley and eastern alameda, contra costa and santa clara counties you get into the exceptional rating for drought. as we get into the warmest and hottest time of year you usually don't find much relief from the weather. we do have some relief from the heat ongoing right now in pleasanton. only 74 degrees, 70 in san jose. pretty strong sea breeze reaching the south bay right now. there's a view of oakland, 68 degrees. patchy low clouds. 66 right now in san francisco. those winds strongly onshore. that's going to keep

north, not strong enough to bring us any rain but mixing in some dry air. clouds should form again heading towards tomorrow morning. maybe some misty skies, nothing drought-busting about that but mist would be nice for the morning. for the morning patches of low clouds on the coast and our temperatures not all that bad. mostly 80s around san jose. san francisco looking at temperatures tomorrow in the upper 60s to near 70. of course tomorrow evening you've got the a's taking on the giants. big series coming up. game one coming up 7:15 tomorrow. we'll see 50s and 60s around game time for that. notice the daytime temperatures up towards wine county and out toward the tri-valley in the 70s and 80s for now. nice and comfortable, should stay that way as we get into the weekend, but coming up next week, some big changes ahead. you're getting a sneak preview at the seven-day forecast at the bottom of the screen. 80s and 90s, perhaps even out to san francisco. we'll talk more about that big

for the first time. among them is an east bay graduate ready to embark on a new life and an entirely new identity. she started off life as a girl but is now preparing to start adulthood as a man. the teen shares what it took to make that decision and how love and acceptance eased that struggle. >> it's not something where i just woke up one day and was like oh i'm transgender. like it took a while, many steps and days and conversations with myself. >> now, the 18-year-old wanted to share the journey in hopes of helping other teens and their families. tonight at 11:00 right here on nbc bay area you will see how a decision being made before she becomes he could blaze a trail for transgender youth everywhere. it is a powerful story. you can see that tonight at 11:00. the family of a woman

hundreds of peopleevacuated. right now at 6:30 about 7,000 acres have burned thus far and hundreds of people evacuated. this is impacting this fire napa solano and yolo counties. these are some of the

berryessa near the town of winters. here are the latest numbers. the fire has burned nearly 7,000 acres, 15% contained at this point. 200 structures still threatened. one outbuilding and a tent trailer have been destroyed. the quail canyon and golden bear communities are under mandatory evacuations. canyon creek and lake solano campgrounds have also been evacuated. >> so firefighters need a break with the wind if they really want to get the upper hand here. let's bring in our meteorologist, rob mayeda, who joins us with a look at these winds. we kind of are on a time clock because we know next week the temperatures are going to rise. >> absolutely a rapid change in weather conditions early next week. we went from 5% containment this morning up to 15% and the weather helping somewhat that the wind speeds aren't quite as gusty as they were yesterday at the same time. the air temperature, 75 degrees not all that bad this time of year. we had some gusts up to 21 miles an hour, humidity at 45%. winds probably at their strongest here the next two to three hours, mainly across the lower elevations. as we pass midnight notice those wind speeds should begin to back off a bit and humidity levels going up. this is the fog forecast. areas into napa county and inland toward solano county should see some of those low clouds moving inland which will help to increase humidity and we could get misty skies out of that. the weather should improve as we head into tomorrow morning with mist and low clouds to start. temperatures comfortable for now but as we head through the end of the weekend forecast big heat is coming low humidity increasing fire danger ahead in the secretary of stateven-day forecast. we'll show you the impacts and beyond coming up in a few

buildings they live in with luxury condos. for dozens of families that means moving to treasure island. michelle, as our investigative unit uncovered, there are locations on treasure island that are suspected of being toxic. >> reporter: yeah. this is one of them behind me. this is where the navy has been working to clean up that hazardous material. some people say they just can't afford to live in other parts of the city. i want to show you just how close some of these units are to the hazardous blocked-off zones. >> we're very middle class, working class kind of neighborhood. >> reporter: jeff wants to raise his four kids halfway between oakland and san francisco on the historic yerba buena island. >> we really love our community. >> reporter: but come september, the community will drastically change. >> you have 60 days to move. >> reporter: there are 40 occupied apartment units on the island. but there are plans to tear down the old navy officers quarters in the fall. it's the first phase of a 20-year, $5 billion plan the city made to build 8,000 apartments on yerba buena and treasure island. add ferry service to the city and offer other amenities, like a hotel with sprawling views of the bay. >> i think you just lose the diversity. >> reporter: jeff and the other families on the island have two options. accept a cash offer from the city, and with children and two adults, they would qualify for about $14,000. or they can move down the hill to an apartment on treasure island and continue to pay $2100 a month. >> my wife is not too excited about what's currently being offered. >> reporter: those units are substantially smaller. need some work and are steps away from navy-owned land where contractors have found elevated levels of radiation. the navy admits arsenic and dioxins have been made near the housing area. >> toxic fumes may come up thank you may or may not smell. >> reporter: todd plans to accept the offer to move into another unit but only until he can afford another alternative. >> now the slumlord is san francisco. >> reporter: the navy is responsible for cleaning up the site which today involved testing for toxins in the area.

2-year-old or 3-year-old you're not supposed to basically play in the dirt. >> reporter: today on the steps of san francisco city hall yerba buena residents called for more affordable and safe housing. city leaders declined to speak on camera but tell us the department of public health says treasure island is safe. jeff says that's a promise he'd like to believe. >> we love san francisco. and, you know we really want to be a part of it. >> reporter: now, there are some units on treasure island that have been tested and deemed unsafe and those are boarded up tonight. the navy expects this entire cleanup to be finished by 2021. reporting live on treasure island michelle roberts, nbc bay area news. >> very interesting, thanks michelle. a bay area father's desperate plea for immigration reform appears to have worked. today the house passed a bill to crack down on sanctuary cities like san francisco. it comes after the murder of kate steinle near the ferry building. janelle wang joins us now with some details. >> reporter: raj, a big win today for kate steinle's father but the bill still faces an uphill battle. president obama has signalled he will veto the bill if it reaches his desk. >> the aye are 241, the nays are 179. the bill is passed. >> reporter: this afternoon they passed a bill to block federal funding for sanctuary city which refuse to enforce federal immigration laws that includes san francisco, the site of kate steinle's murder earlier this month. the suspect a mexican national with multiple felonies and deportations. >> suddenly a shot rang out, kate fell looked at me and said "help me dad." >> reporter: emotional testimony from kate steinle's father today persuaded house ribsepublicans and handful of democrats to pass the bill. the suspect was detained for a 20-year warrant on a marijuana charge. in the end, san francisco authorities decided not to pursue the low-level offense and released the undocumented immigrant. the sheriff did not notify federal immigration official its, citing the city's sanctuary policy. the policy aims to protect law-abiding undocumented immigrants from harassment and deportation. >> this is the real world where everyone isn't a dreamer and everyone isn't a valedictorian. there are criminals motivated by malice and a conscious disregard for the lives of others. >> reporter: democrats, though call the bill an attack on cities which embrace immigrants and accuse republicans of following donald trump's lead of demonizing latinos. >> we must continue to make sure that her killer is prosecuted to the full extent of the law. but we should not respond with irresponsible public policy. >> reporter: the white house says the bill faces a likely veto from the president because the bill fails to offer comprehensive reforms on broken immigration laws. it also doesn't see steinle's murder as a reason to pressure cities to force federal immigration laws. >> it would allow california prisons to hold undocumented immigrants charged with a crime for two days while authorities decide to prosecute or deport them. but law enforcement experts say federal law needs to change first. >> the spirit of the federal code of regulations is to allow local law enforcement to hold people for up to 48 hours. i think that's exactly what the legislative intent was. but the language and the manner in which it's written does not accomplish that. >> state legislators will be taking up the bill when the session reconvenes in august. officers discovered much more than pot during a raid. they found u.s. army sergeant bowe bergdahl. the so-called dope team came across the once missing soldier in mendocino county on tuesday. bergdahl was not involved in the marijuana operation. turns out he was visiting friends. he was not arrested. bergdahl was released in a prisoner exchange from afghanistan last year only to be charged with desertion. he's now awaiting a marshal military court. officers checked with the army and found that he was cleared to visit mendocino county. well a puppy with a mani-pedi is at the center of a criminal investigation. a good samaritan found this 6-week-old chihuahua mix with red painted nails in an alleyway on sunday. the dog was in that purse pet carrier with no access to food or water. the spca which has nicknamed the pet pierre is offering a reward to find the person who abandoned it. they could face animal cruelty charges. right now pierre is being held as evidence but will eventually be put up for adoption. still to come here at 6:00 galactic twins maybe. the discovery that nasa just made that could prove there's another earth out there. a "white house invitation" brought oakland's mayor and police chief to the white housetoday-- a white house invite brought oakland's mayor and police chief to the white house. it is strengthening trust between the police and the community. the department of justice hosted a forum on 21st century policing. local leaders say the progressive strategies but admit putting them into practice is hard. >> i'm excited that this convening at the white house is not just about the ideas in the reported, it's about how to implement them how to make them real in our cities. >> president obama launched the policing task force last year after the death of michael brown and eric garner at the hands of police. does planet earth have a cousin out there? nasa says it's found a candidate. the planet is 1400 light years away, so we really don't have any idea what it looks like but nasa made this animation to illustrate what they think it would look like. excited scientists estimate the planet's temperature is like earth, so it could have water. >> it's affected. it's a similar sun, a similar orbit and a planet just a little bigger than earth that makes it that close cousin. >> we might have a cousin. however, it's gravity is estimated to be twice what it is here on earth, so some bad news if you're watching your weight. you could weigh twice as much on this unnamed planet out there. >> that puts it out for me. i'm not going. >> you would weigh 150 pounds there. >> i'm not going, i'm not going. that's it forget it. all right, rob, we're going to see some changes. >> yeah the sea breeze has really picked up. we're seeing temperatures right now 60s and 70s outside. enjoy it because the

list. near lake berryessa. i want to take you back out live to that stubborn fire near lake berryessa. we are now 28 hours into this fire and it is still burning. 7,000 acres charred so far. at this point 15% containment but you can still see there is a big plume of smoke and lots lots of flames. 1400 firefighters are working this fire. they have got helicopters, air tankers, bulldozers really trying to keep it and try to diminish the fire at this point. rural, rugged very difficult to access. there are several communities that have been evacuated, but so far no homes have been burned. one outbuilding has, but again, the push is on now to try to contain this to a further level and get it done before the weekend when it is expected to get much much hotter. well some troubling news from the fbi's director. isis is now a bigger threat to the u.s. homeland than al qaeda. isis recruiting is picking up here in the united states and as steve handelsman reports, critics blame the obama administration. >> reporter: the fbi in chattanooga is investigating how gunman mohammed abdulazeez might have been inspired by isis but u.s. officials warn isis in the past six to eight weeks is stepping up its already intense effort on the web and twitter to urge attacks in the u.s. suspects are being arrested as many as ten isis-inspired plots broken up this summer. a big increase. head of homeland security confirmed it's a big worry than a 9/11 style attack by a team from overseas. >> we've got to now be concerned about the homegrown threat which is harder to detect. >> reporter: needle in a hay stack, giving isis credit. >> they have invested in months and months of pushing this message and it resonates with troubled souls. >> reporter: but after the marathon bombing by boston residents in 2013 after garland, texas, in may, two u.s. followers of isis why just now call homegrown terror the top threat? it's lag to bang time says an administration critic. >> you see the flash but the bang doesn't come until later. why is that? the administration is reluctant to acknowledge that its strategy isn't works. >> reporter: terror experts say it is the battlefield successes of isis that the u.s.-led coalition have failed to stop that are making the online appeal of isis increasingly effective. the fbi says isis is up to 21,000 english language followers on twitter. i'm steve handelsman nbc news washington. let's turn things over to rob mayeda and talk about the changes we expect. here we are thursday close to the weekend, and you say it's going to warm up. >> big-time as we go through the seven-day forecast. in the meantime a strong case of air conditioning cooling down. look at these temperatures east of 680. we're in the 70s. livermore only 70 degrees. mid-60s closer to oakland and you can see out towards plenton, you've got the sunshine 74 degrees, pretty comfortable. in san jose it's 70 degrees. as we head over to oakland, you can see hazy skies, breezy. 68 right now. into san francisco you've got the sunshine but not exactly warm right now as temperatures in the mid-60s. so during the day today, you can see out towards sunol, low clouds to start. then during the afternoon kind of a pretty view. you had some high clouds moving in from south to north across the screen there and those clouds now heading up towards the sierra. this weak upper level trough crossing the west coast bringing in those winds onshore and temporarily breaking up the low clouds on the coast right now. but onshore winds 15 to 20 miles per hour will bring in the low clouds once again into tomorrow morning for areas of drizzle or maybe misty skies to start. then just like we saw today out at that sunol time lapse you'll get sunshine inland and temperatures at least for now looking pretty comfortable. so numbers in the 70s to low 80s around san jose. san francisco temperatures in the low 60s, close to 70 degrees. coming up towards the evening tomorrow we'll have a's versus giants baseball right here on nbc bay area 7:00 tomorrow. if you're lucky enough to have tickets, bundle up a little bit. low 60s and dropping into the 50s as the game goes on for tomorrow evening. during the afternoon for the north bay and tri-valley still pretty comfortable. a bit breezy at times with temperatures in the 70s and 80s in the forecast so nice and comfortable for now. and the trend is going to try to turn a little bit warmer for a few areas for the weekend, but the big warmup will hold off until a little later on next week. speaking of the south bay, the south bay will be buzzing about this matchup, manchester united and barcelona in town at levi's stadium. that came coming up at 1:00 on saturday. it should be picture perfect, upper 70s to low 80s as we go through the weekend. here comes the heat early next week. high pressure building in will compress that marine layer, squish it down basically right to the ocean so temperatures inland as this high builds in really going to climb. not just for places like the tri-valley which are accustomed to the heat but closer to san francisco and san jose you too will see the temperatures climbing on up. as we get out of the weekend, wow, look at those temperatures rising close to 100 degrees. tuesday, wednesday, thursday for the tri-valley and livermore. san jose south of downtown could get upper 90s toward the middle part of the week and san francisco at the ending of the week into the middle of next week 80s in reach for areas right along the water as things heat up early next week. back to

at the earliest. >> at the very very earliest. >> reporter: tonight the fire is burning south and east of lake berryessa. >> where the fire is at right now, it's very very remote. there aren't really

working to get this fire contained. right now their contain maenltment is at 15%. mark matthews, nbc bay area news. >> thank you mark. from mark let's go straight to rob mayeda who's been tracking the shift in the weather. we heard mark say the wind is not too bad right now. what needs to happen in the next few hours for firefighters to gain more? >> yeah we're seeing the wind speeds quite a different story than yesterday at this time. we did have gusts up to 30 miles per hour plus. very strong gusty winds at the hill tops. the last peak wind gust was 21 miles per hour but the sustained winds about 8 to 12 miles an hour so that's not too bad. temperature not too bad. mid-70s outside and still low 80s around parts of the north bay. you see humidity at 45%. right now those winds not too strong and the temperatures which typically could be in the 90s, 70s and 80s right now, so we'll see the winds increase slightly mainly at those lower elevations, about 15 to 20 miles per hour and then decrease later tonight and maybe this could be a little bit of a benefit from the weather. we're thinking as we get through tonight and into tomorrow morning, low clouds may spill back in close to the elevation of the fire. maybe slightly below that. we'll see increasing humidity and increasing cloud cover and maybe some misty skies for parts of the north bay. heading into tomorrow morning, hopefully good news for firefighters. as long as those wind speeds stay down and the temperatures stay down that should help things out as we head towards tomorrow morning. back to you. >> thank you rob. i want to show you an illustration of just how fast the wildfire has been spreading. this is a time lapse. the video was shot last night but we've sped it up. you can see the flames really moving

fallen officer. today his friends and colleagues escorted his body here to the chapel of the chimes. >> this is sad, it's a sad experience, you know. no need for it. >> reporter: friends, colleagues and strangers lined the streets of hayward to show their respect and their sorrow as the body of sergeant scott lunger was transported to a hayward funeral home. as the community paid tribute to the

unprovoked. >> reporter: tonight hayward police have released surveillance video of a light four-door sedan seen near the suspect's east oakland home shortly after the shooting. they're hoping somebody recognizes the car so they can talk to the driver. meanwhile, hundreds are showing their gratitude for the officer's sacrifice. >> my husband used to be a former police officer. scott was a very close friend to him. it's just really hard to take in, you know. >> yeah we're grateful for what he did for us and the community and our kids and hopefully our future police officers. >> reporter: we are back here live at hayward's chapel of the chimes where you can see the flag is flying at half staff. sergeant lunger's body will stay here until his funeral. that will take place next thursday at castro valley's neighborhood church. reporting live in hayward, i'm jodi hernandez, nbc bay area news. >> jodi thank you. so where is the suspect? mark estrada is still recovering from gunshot wounds at highland hospital this evening. at some point today he was expected to be transferred to the santa rita jail in dublin but not yet. that transfer could still happen tonight. we spoke with his attorney. >> we believe that there should not be any determination or judgment passed on marco until all the facts are in and that's going to take time and work and interfacing with the district attorney in this case. >> just a short while ago, our sister station, telemundo, spoke with estrada's mother who describes her son was someone with a good heart who has never had any legal problems. estrada is accused of shooting sergeant lunger almost immediately after he was pulled over. one witness watched helplessly as paramedics tried to save the sergeant's life. >> when i seen him laying in the street, wow, he paid his life -- with his life for keeping the peace. you know just -- we don't -- we don't appreciate i guess, we don't appreciate what the law enforcement does for the community. >> there are plenty of people mourners honoring lunger's sacrifice by leaving flowers and mementos at the memorial outside of the hayward police department headquarters. we want to review those funeral details for you one more time. the memorial service planned, the viewing is tentatively set for next wednesday at the chapel of chimes there in hayward. the time for that viewing has not

after going for a test drive, the victim says the robber took off with his car, leaving the woman and child behind. the victim then jumps on the car the woman arrived in breaking her window. that's

san jose i'm damian trujillo, nbc bay area. bail is now set at $200,000 for a man accused of setting his san jose apartment complex on fire. craig morales did his best to avoid our cameras during a

walking down the street. >> the pee wall is solution that we are testing. >> reporter: public works director mohammed nuru says in about ten locations they have installed a liquid repellent test paint. in a demonstration, water was used. >> when people urinate on the wall the pee actually bounces back and hits your pants or gets you wet. and so we are piloting it to see if we can discourage people from peeing on many of our hot spots. >> reporter: the product has had success overseas. in san francisco, it's paired with a sign saying to hold it and to seek relief in an appropriate place, but not much about the potential for getting wet. marquez boyd cleans city streets for public works. >> i've been cleaning up human waste, dog waste, paint, oil spills dirt. >> reporter: overall steam cleaning requests are down about 17%. public works believes that's in part due to the expansion of the pit stop staff bathroom program. >> we need lots more public bathrooms. >> reporter: some want more options. some think the paint is worth trying but old habits die hard. >> if that deters them they'll just move to the next wall. >> reporter: a number of residents that we spoke with were excited about the potential of this. they want to see how it turns out. this test will run three to six months. the idea is not really for people to test it out, but again, to find an appropriate bathroom. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, nbc bay area news. santa clara county is getting the message. in june water usage was down by 35% compared to the same time last year. that surpasses the county's goal of 30% and the state's mandate of 25% reduction. today water officials thanked businesses and nearly 2 million people living in the county for doing their part. they also urged everyone to continue to conserve despite talks of a strong el nino this winter. we have some new images to show you about just how this drought continues to impact our water supply. the department of water resources released this video showing what two northern california lakes, folsom lake east of sacramento and lake orrville near chico, what they look like. both are dramatically lower, as you can see, than they have been in years past. the agency also posted these before and after pictures on twitter. that really illustrates it. in july of 2011 this was lake folsom surrounded by trees. now much of that water is gone exposing dirt and walk. the same goes for lake oroville. this shows how close the water was to that bridge. fast forward four years and you can see how much that water has receded. that is crazy to look at those images. >> those are really dramatic pictures. let's bring in rob mayeda. rob, most of us are just looking at brown lawns, but when you see the water levels there, it really does give you pause. >> yeah the four years cumulative effect adding up there. the reservoirs across northern california and around the state, yet still most of the bay area in extreme drought conditions. as you get out closer to the central valley and eastern alameda, contra costa and santa clara counties you get into the exceptional rating for drought. as we get into the warmest and hottest time of year you usually don't find much relief from the weather. we do have some relief from the heat ongoing right now in pleasanton. only 74 degrees, 70 in san jose. pretty strong sea breeze reaching the south bay right now. there's a view of oakland, 68 degrees. patchy low clouds. 66 right now in san francisco. those winds strongly onshore. that's going to keep

north, not strong enough to bring us any rain but mixing in some dry air. clouds should form again heading towards tomorrow morning. maybe some misty skies, nothing drought-busting about that but mist would be nice for the morning. for the morning patches of low clouds on the coast and our temperatures not all that bad. mostly 80s around san jose. san francisco looking at temperatures tomorrow in

next week, some big changes ahead. you're getting a sneak preview at the seven-day forecast at the bottom of the screen. 80s and 90s, perhaps even out to san francisco. we'll talk more about that big

number one when it comes to bad roads. nearly 75% of the roads are in poor condition. that's according to a new report by a transportation research group. the concord area came in third nationally and

for the first time. among them is an east bay graduate ready to embark on a new life and an entirely new identity. she started off life as a girl but is now preparing to start adulthood as a man. the teen shares what it took to make that decision and how love and acceptance eased that struggle. >> it's not something where i just woke up one day and was like oh i'm transgender. like it took a while, many steps and days and conversations with myself. >> now, the 18-year-old wanted to share the journey in hopes of helping other teens and their families. tonight at 11:00 right here on nbc bay

hundreds of peopleevacuated. right now at 6:30 about 7,000 acres have burned thus far and hundreds of people evacuated. this is impacting this fire napa solano and yolo counties. these are some of the headlines as we continue to track this so-called wragg fire. firefighters say there appears to be this fire slowing in terms of a slower pace right now. >> they're using air tankers, helicopters, bulldozers. crews using every tool possible to try to get ahead of those winds. erratic winds, rough terrain making it difficult. the fire is raging in a remote part of napa county south of lake berryessa near the town of winters. here are the latest numbers. the fire has burned nearly 7,000 acres, 15% contained at this point. 200 structures still threatened. one outbuilding and a tent trailer have been destroyed. the quail canyon and golden bear communities are under mandatory evacuations. canyon creek and lake solano campgrounds have also been evacuated. >> so firefighters need a break with the wind if they really want to get the upper hand here. let's bring in our meteorologist, rob mayeda, who joins us with a look at these winds. we kind of are on a time clock because we know next week the temperatures are going to rise. >> absolutely a rapid change in weather conditions early next week. we went from 5% containment this morning up to 15% and the weather helping somewhat that the wind speeds aren't quite as gusty as they were yesterday at the same time. the air temperature, 75 degrees not all that bad this time of year. we had some gusts up to 21 miles an hour, humidity at 45%. winds probably at their strongest here the next two to three hours, mainly across the lower elevations. as we pass midnight notice those wind speeds should begin to back off a bit and humidity levels going up. this is the fog forecast. areas into napa county and inland toward solano county should see some of those low clouds moving inland which will help to increase humidity and we could get misty skies out of that. the weather should improve as we head into tomorrow morning with mist and low clouds to start. temperatures comfortable for now but as we head through the end of the weekend forecast big heat is coming low humidity increasing fire danger ahead in the secretary of stateven-day forecast. we'll show you the impacts and beyond coming up in a few

sprawling views of the bay. >> i think you just lose the diversity. >> reporter: jeff and the other families on the island have two options. accept a cash offer from the city, and with children and two adults, they would qualify for about $14,000. or they can move down the hill to an apartment on treasure island and continue to pay $2100 a month. >> my wife is not too excited about what's currently being offered. >> reporter: those units are substantially smaller. need some work and are steps away from navy-owned land where contractors have found elevated levels of radiation. the navy admits arsenic and dioxins have been made near the housing area. >> toxic fumes may come up thank you may or may not smell. >> reporter: todd plans to accept the offer to move into another unit but only until he can afford another alternative. >> now the slumlord is san francisco. >> reporter: the navy is responsible for cleaning up the site which today involved testing for toxins in the area. >> i'm worried about my health i'm worried about cancer. >> reporter: the lease agreement states tenants shall not disturb the soil near their units or plant anything. >> i don't know how you tell a

immigration reform appears to have worked. today the house passed a bill to crack down on sanctuary cities like san francisco. it comes after the murder of kate steinle near the ferry building. janelle wang joins us now with some details. >> reporter: raj, a big win today for kate steinle's father but the bill still faces an uphill battle. president obama has signalled he will veto the bill if it reaches his desk. >> the aye are 241, the nays are 179. the bill is passed. >> reporter: this afternoon they passed a bill to block federal funding for sanctuary city which refuse to enforce federal immigration laws that includes san francisco, the site of kate steinle's murder earlier this month. the suspect a mexican national with multiple felonies and deportations. >> suddenly a shot rang out, kate fell looked at me and said "help me dad." >> reporter: emotional testimony from kate steinle's father today persuaded house ribsepublicans and handful of democrats to pass the bill. the suspect was detained for a 20-year warrant on a marijuana charge. in the end, san francisco authorities decided not to pursue the low-level offense and released the undocumented immigrant. the sheriff did not notify federal immigration official its, citing the city's sanctuary policy. the policy aims to protect law-abiding undocumented immigrants from harassment and deportation. >> this is the real world where everyone isn't a dreamer and everyone isn't a valedictorian. there are criminals motivated by malice and a conscious disregard for the lives of others. >> reporter: democrats, though call the bill an attack on cities which embrace immigrants and accuse republicans of following donald trump's lead of demonizing latinos. >> we must continue to make sure that her killer is prosecuted to the full extent of the law. but we should not respond with irresponsible public policy. >> reporter: the white house says the bill faces a likely veto from the president because the bill fails to offer comprehensive reforms on broken immigration laws. it also doesn't see steinle's murder as a reason to pressure cities to force federal immigration laws. >> it would allow california prisons to hold undocumented immigrants charged with a crime for two days while authorities decide to prosecute or deport them. but law enforcement experts say federal law needs to change first. >> the spirit of the federal code of regulations is to allow local law enforcement to hold people for up to 48 hours. i think that's exactly what the legislative intent was. but the language and the manner in which it's written does not accomplish that. >> state legislators will be taking up the bill when the session reconvenes in august. officers discovered much more than pot during a raid. they found u.s. army sergeant bowe bergdahl. the so-called dope team came across the once missing soldier in mendocino county on tuesday. bergdahl was not involved in the marijuana operation. turns out he was visiting

planet earth have a cousin out there? nasa says it's found a candidate. the planet is 1400 light years away, so we really don't have any idea what it looks like but nasa made this animation to illustrate what they think it would look like. excited scientists estimate the planet's temperature is like earth, so it could have water. >> it's affected. it's a similar sun, a similar orbit and a planet just a little bigger than earth that makes it that close cousin. >> we might have a cousin. however, it's gravity is estimated to be twice what it is here on earth, so some bad news if you're

boston residents in 2013 after garland, texas, in may, two u.s. followers of isis why just now call homegrown terror the top threat? it's lag to bang time says an administration critic. >> you see the flash but the bang doesn't come until later. why is that? the administration is reluctant to acknowledge that its strategy isn't works. >> reporter: terror experts say it is the battlefield successes of isis that the u.s.-led coalition have failed to stop that are making the online appeal of isis increasingly effective. the fbi says isis is up to 21,000 english language followers on twitter. i'm steve handelsman nbc news washington. let's turn things over to rob mayeda and talk about the changes we expect. here we are thursday close to the weekend, and you say it's going to warm up. >> big-time as we go through the seven-day forecast. in the meantime a strong case of air conditioning cooling down. look at these temperatures east of 680. we're in the 70s. livermore only 70 degrees. mid-60s closer to oakland and you can see out towards plenton, you've got the sunshine 74 degrees, pretty comfortable. in san jose it's 70 degrees. as we head over to oakland, you can see hazy skies, breezy. 68 right now. into san francisco you've got the sunshine but not exactly warm right now as temperatures in the mid-60s. so during the day today, you can see out towards sunol, low clouds to start. then during the afternoon kind of a pretty view. you had some high clouds moving in from south to north across the screen there and those clouds now heading up towards the sierra. this weak upper level trough crossing the west coast bringing in those winds onshore and temporarily breaking up the low clouds on the coast right now. but onshore winds 15 to 20 miles per hour will bring in the low clouds once again into tomorrow morning for areas of drizzle or maybe misty skies to start. then just like we saw today out at that sunol time lapse you'll get sunshine inland and temperatures at least for now looking pretty comfortable. so numbers in the 70s to low 80s around san jose. san francisco temperatures in the low 60s, close to 70 degrees. coming up towards the evening tomorrow we'll have a's versus giants baseball right here on nbc bay area 7:00 tomorrow. if you're lucky enough to have tickets, bundle up a little bit. low 60s and dropping into the 50s as the game goes on for tomorrow evening. during the afternoon for the north bay and tri-valley still pretty comfortable. a bit breezy at times with temperatures in the 70s and 80s in the forecast so nice and comfortable for now. and the trend is going to try to turn a little bit warmer for a few areas for the weekend, but the big warmup will hold off until a little later on next week. speaking of the south bay, the south bay will be buzzing about this matchup, manchester united and barcelona in town at levi's stadium. that came coming up at 1:00 on saturday. it should be picture perfect, upper 70s to low 80s as we go through the weekend. here comes the heat early next week. high pressure building in will compress that marine layer, squish it down basically right to the ocean so temperatures inland as this high builds in really going to climb. not just for places like the tri-valley which are accustomed to the heat but closer to san francisco and san jose you too will see the temperatures climbing on up. as we get out of the weekend, wow, look at those temperatures rising close to 100 degrees. tuesday, wednesday, thursday for the tri-valley and livermore. san jose south of downtown could get upper 90s toward the middle part of the week and san francisco at the ending of the week into the middle of next week 80s in reach for areas right along the water as things heat up early next week. back to
