you how ab-5 will impact the trucking industry. today the drivers showed up to demonstrate how it might affect consumers as well. it was not business as usual at the port of oakland this morning. the independent truck drivers who make up 90% of the operation are on strike over ab 5. the new law requires trucking companies make their drivers employees shutting out the independent operators who own their own rigs. protesters blocked other trucks from entering the port as a way to get lawmakers' attention. >> if the port got affected, the government will listen and they will have to. that's what

interesting day. 50-degree difference from the hottest inland locations to the coast. normally we brag about a 30-degree difference from the hottest inland locations to the beach. today it was 50. let me put some specific numbers on. pacifica only made it to 58 -- actually a 40-degree difference, from 58 to 98. still impressive. normally we talk about 30. we were well above that. daytime high today of 98 in concord. you can visualize the spread on here from the deep shades of purple from the hottest inland locations, at near 100, to the cool greens, and the better way to visualize this is to lay on top of that where that beautiful wet gray blanket we were seeing coming in from the golden gate. had the coast and pacifica socked in today. you can see the streamer coming in from the golden gate. this is what july looks like around here. even though the inland temperatures are hotter than average, we'll start bringing those down, too, over the next couple days. we'll visualize that forecast by using that same wonderful feature here. watch the marine layer fill in a little more of the bay tomorrow. a little more than it did today. this is one of the leading indicators that you'll get a cooldown. the more of the onshore flow we can get, the more of the marine layer, the nice wet great blanket we can pull in, the bigger the benefit for cooler air. watch wednesday. tuesday is already better than today was. we didn't get much today. that's wednesday. so you definitely see the trend here. we don't have any major large scale pattern shifts coming, but we do have our friend in july, that beautiful marine layer, going back to work over the next few days. you're going to see in the seven-day forecast it's about to look a lot better. no more of these upper 90s for those inland locations. tomorrow, it's mid to upper 50s for morning lows. daytime highs already look better tomorrow. so instead of the 98s for concord and livermore, we've got an 89 or a 90. you'll go to only 84 in santa rosa. that's the benefit of the petaluma gap. the same onshore flow, we always see it come from the golden gate. there's a gap in the hills that points right at petaluma. that cool air can spread out. santa rosa will cool down before inland alameda and inland contra costa do. around 80 tomorrow for the east bay shoreline. we've been watching the smoke for the last several days. there was a new addition today in front of the marsh fire, watch the hills in the foreground. that was the fire that took off in the hills, not that far. it was put out fairly quickly, not putting more smoke in the sky. but we have had issues with air quality. for now, it's a better story. pretty much moderate now. you've got moderate air quality for those inland parts of contra costa county. let's put final numbers on the seven-day forecast. if we look at the trend for san jose on the bottom, it doesn't go down a whole lot. you bring the temperatures down a little. you go down to the low 80s by the time be get to friday and saturday. in the microclimates, the top two lines are inland east bay valleys and north bay valleys, a lot of mid 80s in here. that's the main headline in the first alert forecast. we'll get you below average for the middle part of july. liz, over to you. >> thank you, darren. coming up all new at 6:00, hundreds of jobs on the chopping block. why a popular frozen food
