gorgeous shot the clouds have rolled back. if you've noticed, you can see the clouds rolling across the bay so we'll spin the camera around and give you a view from the golden gate bridge, where the temperature is at 73 and 663 san francisco. at least we can see part of the golden gate bridge, but as the drivers come across, they have good visibility and still some clouds that will be keeping the temperatures down along the coastline. half moon is 59, san francisco, 66. we also have 66 in oakland. then you move over toward livermore, it is already in the 80s now, and 80 in morgan hill. a look at all of the microclimate, we're still in the mid 90s, pacifica, 65, and spots to cool down, at 57, while santa rosa is up to 94. oakland, high of 77. and 102 today in livermore. so this weekend, we have the garlic festival going on in gilroy and of course, it will be hot. when is it not hot. it will be up to 97 degrees this weekend. some lower 90s and make sure you bring sunscreen. drink plenty of water, and just try to take it easy out there, as you enjoy it. it will be bright and sunny. then later on this evening, out at at&t park, much cooler temperatures, 67 at first pitch. and then some mid 60s by the end of the game, cool and breezy as the clouds rollback in. we've had high pressure, that's kept it hot and dry across the region and unfortunately, we haven't seen this thing really moving around. it continues to sit right near las vegas and we'll move into southern california. that center of high pressure causes the air to sink, and it sinks, it warms, and the on shore flow that helps us cool down. 90s all through next week, so it looks at this point we don't catch much of air break for the inland spots, but along the coast, it will be cool. if you are planning to head to wine country today, it will be in the upper 80s and mid 80s for the rest of the weekend. monterey bay, 70, and mid to upper 60s for the weekend. also nice and comfortable in santa cruz, with highs in the mid 70s and mostly sunny skies, in san francisco, some low 70s today, but then some mid 60s for the rest of the forecast. even into next week we'll still see the 60s continuing. as far as inland valley, 95 on saturday, and upper 80s for sunday. there will be spots in the low 90s and more 90s where that came from in the forecast. unfortunately, even through next thursday, it will be sunny, hot and well above average. i'll have another look at the forecast coming up a little later laura and scott. >> we need to get used to it. up next, the u.s. navy recognizes congressman and officer harvey milk. first, happening now, we're staying on top of a story in san diego, where the search is on for more suspects connected to the deadly shooting after police officer. you can read it about it on the facebook page. four years after the massacre that shocked the nation, sandy hook getting a clean start with a new building. we have that story on nbc bay area.com and we'll be back in two minutes.

streak wednesday night, across the sky. all right, we know for sure it was a chinese rocket booster breaking up on re-entry into the atmosphere. that's been confirmed by the u.s. military. well, if you've been to lake tahoe, you may have felt the water was slightly more bearable. the lake average temperature was the warmest ever recorded. still cold, 53.3 degrees, but a new report released yesterday by uc davis says the lake's water over the past four years has been warming at a pace 15 times the historic average. scientists say while the lake might be slightly easier to swim in, it could invade the growth. a high honor for late san francisco supervisor, harvey milk. this is a photo of him during his service. they're naming a ship after milk. the vessel seen here provides support

too heavily on police to discipline students. >> i do. >> coming up, how the year long investigation how police officers are used in the bay area schools. the relationship between police officers and communities they serve has sparked a national conversation about race and injustice. >> here in the bay area, our year long investigation into how officers are used on scal campuses is leading to major policy change which will impact thousands of students. >> reporter: guys, our reporting reveal when students act up in school, their skin color or disability can play a role in whether they get sent to the principal's office or to police. how to make those decisions isn't always clear, but can leave children and teens with criminal records. now, after our reporting, educators and officers are unveiling major changes. >> i would say it is one of the biggest policy changes in recent years, absolutely. >> superintendent chris funk heads the east side union district and overly rely on school police. >> too many of the students are being cited for things that they should not have been cited for. >> officers can issue students juvenile citations, which are equivalent to an arrest. last year, our reporting found that of the more than 16,000 school districts across theçó country, east side ranked 14th in the number of students it referred to law enforcement during the 2011, 2012 school year. the district called police on 1,745 students. that number has since dropped to 184. >> the data was alarming. >> at a school board meeting, function credited our investigation, before unveiling a new district wide discipline policy. the dramatically limits when his administrators should involve police. >> why did you think it was important to make those change as soon as. >> if we are suspending an inciting students and putting them on path to prison, that's not keeping kids in school. >> bringing dangerous weapons or seriously injuring someone is still enough to contact law enforcement, but students using tobacco or profanity are examples of when not to call police. >> the statistics are clear. any time a student is suspended from school, expelled from the district, or enters the justice system, they are less likely to graduate from high school. >> function's school district and five others contract with the san jose police department to provide officers on campus so the department has cops at 41 schools. but our investigation revealed that none of those schools has ever outlined the roles and responsibilities of those officer. even though the national association of school resource officers recommends that as a best practice. funk is now working with the san jose police department to define what officers should and should not be doing at schools. >> sergeant jason pierce is with the san jose pd and helped train 120 officer whose patrol schools. last month, pierce and other in structures travel to anaheim to receive school based training. the trip came as a result of our reporting. we discovered while the department of justice recommends the 40 hours of training, san jose only provides a half hour. >> how much can you really learn in 30 minutes? >> you can learn a lot in 30 minutes, ybut i think that will be increased. >> he is concerned they call officers too often. >> do you think schools are relying too heavily on police to discipline students? >> i do. >> last year, we told you about brett hart, with the san jose school district. administrators called the police on andrea crosby, who has autism. he used rocks to scribble his initials on a sidewalk. >> i thought someone would look at it, legend. or look, legend. this is so cool. a legend was at this school. >> adrian's initials washed off with water, but still left with an arrest on his criminal record for vandalism. in april, we met kye, the freshman did somersaults in the mud and was also arrested at 14, at the same school district, san jose unified. >> i don't think it's fair. not at all. >> we need the officers to provide safety and security for the campus. >> dane caldwell oversees discipline for the school district and told us his schools only use officers when it is appropriate, even though there is no written policy to plangs wh -- explain what it means. >> why not put it in writing. >> it is just something we haven't put it in writing. we support the campus, keep it safe. they're not there to conduct discipline. >> do you think the message has been made clear at every clear at your district. >> absolutely. absolutely. >> the police officer supplying the officers says the role at schools is unclear. >> people on different pages when it comes to citing individuals and for what types of crimes. >> in one school district, one kid could get to the principal's office but in another he could get a criminal record. >> that is correct. >> the question is that fair? >> it is not fair. that's why we are working to make it fair across with every school district that we work with. >> this upcoming school year, san jose police plans to have detailed job descriptions for the campus officers at 34 schools. campbell union high, east side union high and san jose unified. it is a major security change for those school districts that serve 67,000 students. guy, san jose pd plans to increase training for school officers from those 30

philadelphia, and into history. >> i accept your nomination for president of the united states. >> reporter: becoming the first woman ever nominated for president by a major political party, laying out her vision of america. >> america is great, because america is good. >> reporter: and a progressive agenda to beat bernie sanders. >> bernie sanders and i will work together to make college

one week, just one week until the rio olympics. last night, a dress rehearsal, lighting up the sky above the americana stadium, as crews prepare for the opening stadium next friday night. we don't know anything about what will happen, but we do know preparations are apparently coming along well and security is tight. 85,000 members of the armed forces, military and police in rio for the summer games. for decades now the bay area has been a breeding ground for olympians. >> more than 550 members of the team are headed to rio. rag explains, it got the attention of bob costas. >> as the olympic torch travels to rio, more than 60 athletes with bay area ties will also make their way, doning the red, white and blue. it doesn't include the other athletes with local ties competing for other countries. >> if i were to guess, i think part of it is at least two prestigious universities. >> he says bay area universities pride themselves on non-marquee spa sports. >> they often win championships in the sports that don't get as much national attention. >> nathan adrian, anthony irving, missy franklin and many more. across the bay, stanford's diver, christian ipson, carry walsh jennings, and sailor, alina scott. not to be forgotten, marty mallow and colton brown. costas says there isn't anything in the water, but there is something in the skies. >> does it get chilli in the bay area, but still, it allows athletes from different sports to compete year round and to train year round. >> that was rag mathai reporting. if you want to keep track of the olympians, right there on the front page. a week from today, jessica aguirre, on her way on today in the way, throughout the competition. soccer world focused on san jose also night as the mls all-star game took place. >>

more warmth and same weather as we were coming down from the triple digits from the middle of the week. we still see the temperatures spotty across the inland valleys. right now, if you're looking for some where nice and cool, frasa francisco, ingleside. now, looking at san jose, some smog and smoke moving through, and upper level of the atmosphere, we saw that especially yesterday evening, so some bright red hues at the sun set and 74 degrees, with a high today expect today reach into the low 90s in parts of the south bay. we do have moderate to poor air quality and another hot day. this weekend, only a few degrees lower. it will be cooler, though, at the coastline. so there will be places you can go to cool off. next week, we'll have 90s for inland areas. temperatures, we're at 75 in concord and 74 in san jose, palo alto, 76, and highs reaching up to 108 degrees in fairfield. livermore, 102. san jose, 90. palo alto, 85. half moon bias well as san francisco, 71. spare the air alert day in effect for unhealthy ozone levels in the east bay. it is moderate for the south bay, that means people with breathing problems should limit their time outdoors, from now on until early evening as we will see the high temperatures really building and the stagnant air still in place. our winds are coming in from the southwest at about five, maybe ten miles an hour in spots. but that's not enough to help mix out the poor air quality and the same thing expected for tomorrow. but a slightly stronger on shore flee should keep the temperatures for the coast a little cooler, reaching into the mid 60s. high pressure still in control across the region. no changes there. this has been the same weather pattern we've had all week long, and it also fighting back the winds making it farther to the inland areas. so we are still looking at some cool coastline, but then as you head into the inland areas, temperatures will stay in the 90s all throughout the week. a lot of events going on, and if you just want to take it easy, head up to sonoma wine country, it will be in the mid 80s and mostly sunny skies. cooler coastline, and here you go. monterey bay will be in the upper 60s and 65 degrees on sunday. santa cruz stays in the mid 70s for the next several days, and san francisco, coming back to the 60s after a week of 70s there. still hot for the valleys, up to 99 today, and you still see those 90s even through next week. laura and scott. >> sunday, 89. >> 89. scientists discovered evidence of a new dinosaur. how do they know? one gigantic footprint. we'll tell you all about it, coming up. new developments today in the investigation of those hacked democratic national committee e-mails. multiple senior government officials tell nbc news they're c confident that russian intelligence is behind the hack. >> although they lack the proof, it is raising questions about our overall security system. could voting booths be vulnerable. >> the security firm hired to investigate the e-mails said it detected two breaches of the system. senior government officials say russian intelligence agencies were behind both. it exposed officials to get hillary clinton to get elected during the primary, even though they were supposed to remain impartial. beyond the political damage that included the resignation of the head of the party, debbie wasserman schultz, there is another concern. is the u.s. doing enough to protect the country's electoral system in general. if russian intelligence is trying to tip the scales of this election, where else might they look. >> i believe we are vulnerable in the entire electoral process. so long as someone is not paying close attention, you could essentially rig the system. >> voting systems are controlled state by state. they don't fall under the umbrella of the department of homeland security. typically, voting machines are not connected to the internet. but current and former security officials tell nbc news that any part of the electoral process handled online is potentially vulnerable. that can happen when it is time to count the votes. >> it is where all of those votes come together for a final tally. if they're put into a computer, those computers can be hacked. >> we reached out to election officials in multiple states. new york says by law, they are not connected to the internet. the state has some of the most stringent testing protocols in the nation. voting machines in california are also not connected online. in election officials say the state has extensive certification and testing that goes beyond the federal standards. as for the dnc e-mails, what no one knows is how the information made its way to wikileaks. in an interview with richard engle earlier this week, wikileaks leader, julian assange was not giving it up. >> a footprint, measuring nearly four feet wide, 80 million years ago has been discovered in bolivia. one of the largest finds of its kind ever. a paillitologist, studying the find, said it probably own was a dinosa dinosaur. skelt t skeletal remains have been found there also. they believe it was to have lived during the third period of the era. 100 degree days we've been having a lot of people flocking to t to the pools. >> some don't know how to swim, but thanks to one young woman, that's not an issue for dozens of kids. today's bay area proud. >> for competitive swimmer, diving into the deep end is not a metaphor. it is simply how you get things started. carson myer has been doing it since she was 9 years old. which is fortunate. because soon after carson started her very own volunteer program, the deep end is where she found herself. >> at first, i was a little overwhelmed. >> the whole endeavor started a few years ago with carson at san jose presentation high school, volunteering on a food drive. it opened her eyes to the struggle of some in her community. carson says she felt guilty. at least at first she did. >> then i kind of realized, like, well i don't have to feel guilty. i can actually step up and do something about it. i just decided to combine my love for volunteering and my love for swim. >> carson set out this
