chance of some dry lightning. the bay area stable with the low clouds. the fog. it is 59 palo alto, still holding on to some 60s inland, 70 los gatos. and as we go to the north bay, we've got fog here as well. so we will look for a cool d gray start, drizzle at the coast as well. and as we get into the 7:00 hour, may even reach into concord as we pull back the marine layer. 10:00 some 70 arriving inland. sunny skies still gray in oakland, but it's a sunny afternoon cooler with the winds kicking up again. but by 12:00 we've got some low 80s inland topping out around 90 there. comfortable 70s around the bay. san francisco in the mid 60s. oakland low 70s. so nice afternoon, but we'll talk about the subtle changes and the more dramatic changes coming our way for the fourth in a few minutes. sue. thanks, lisa. >> we head outside to yes, the fog on the golden gate bridge. it's pretty dense. you will need your windshield wipers and it's off and on throughout

robberies, electronic theft have been dropped nearly in half. train and station cleanliness improved more than 50% year over year, and police complaints have also dropped. police chief kevin franklin said police had a strong presence out on the trains and walking the platforms. >> they're providing a visible deterrence to criminal activity. enforcing bart's code of conduct and connecting persons in crisis to assistance. >> now also detailed in the report is progress related to bart's new next generation faregates that report saying they're already cutting down on evasion. so the report also found that more families are riding on weekends, but still, weekday ridership still sits below what it what they had pre-pandemic. so those are numbers that they are still working to improve at this point. right now live in walnut creek. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> thank you zach. 4th of july is friday, but experts say the holiday travel season has already started. triple a predicts a record number of people will be getting away for

this holiday. more than 72 million this year. so here's a live look at i-80 in emeryville. this is a hot spot every holiday in the bay area. traffic expected to be heaviest on wednesday evening as people head out, and then sunday afternoon as they come back. triple a says most people will travel by car this july 4th. gas prices across the country are the lowest they've been since 2021. however, remember here in california we will see a bump in prices starting this week because of an increase in our state's gas tax. if you're flying, of course you won't be alone. more than 5.8 million people planning to fly to their holiday destinations. at the live desk this morning, we're tracking the rush to pass president trump's spending bill before his july 4th deadline. here's a live look at d.c. this morning, where senators are beginning the final debate on their version of the bill. it includes nearly $4 trillion in tax cuts and would eliminate taxes on tips and overtime pay. it also spends $150 billion on border security, would raise the debt limit by

trillions of dollars, and make big cuts to medicaid and other social safety net programs. senate democrats have been outspoken opposing the bill. >> don't forget to tell the folks back home. yeah, i voted to say $1 trillion is nothing, but we still need to kick people off of their health care. that's just too expensive. we still need to close those hospitals. we have to cut costs, and we still have to kick people off snap because the debt is out of control. >> the senate republicans can't lose more than three votes to pass the bill, and two republicans have already said they're voting no. if the bill does pass, it faces a tough road in the house. several republicans, including california congressman david valadao from the central valley, have said they do not support it. and now we're going to turn to pride. pride month officially wraps up today. but this weekend, so many people came out to celebrate making their voices

heard and standing up for their rights here in san francisco. >> and of course, we have one of the largest pride celebrations in the country. and yesterday's parade really delivered on the promise of love, equality and inclusion. san francisco pride celebrated 55 years, including the legendary parade down market street and a party at civic center plaza. and you all did an amazing job. >> oh, thank. >> you with the broadcast. >> i appreciate it. the voice is a little worse for the wear, but we're going to get through it. we were there as the official broadcast partner of the pride parade, and so was abc7 news reporter cornell bernard. >> you look beautiful. >> pride on the move down market street. this parade, a true san francisco original. it's a day to celebrate exactly who you are. >> it just means equality for everyone. and we have the right to love who we love. and love has no boundaries for anyone. >> equality and justice for all. >> now this year, pride and protest. with transgender rights under attack nationally, there

>> a somber yet celebratory moment sunday as volunteers dismantled the iconic pink triangle. >> i'm here passionately taking it down in the fog and the rain just to show up for my community. >> coming to united states and coming to san francisco and then seeing the huge, you know, triangle there that's kind of like, you know, shows it that this is a place where you can be open. >> for 30 years now, the pink triangle has adorned the face of twin peaks during pride, once used in nazi concentration camps to single out queer people, the community reclaiming the symbol. >> the volunteers work so hard here, you know, to pay respect to the monument and the reminder as well. and it's a little bit somber because we put it away for 12 months. >> and while piece by piece it's put away, they say the fight will go on. committed to overcoming the trump administration's attacks on the lgbtq plus community.

that it was vandalized when its whole purpose is to remind people of what happens when hatred and bigotry are allowed to go unchecked. >> tara campbell, abc seven news. >> good monday morning to you. we have kind of an interesting setup going on here. you see that lightning strike offshore, some moisture in the upper levels of the atmosphere, allowing for the possibility of thunderstorms. extreme northern california we have a low closer to the bay area that is allowing for the marine layer to once again establish itself. it's not making its presence known too far inland, but certainly bringing in some cooler temperatures. you can see the low cloud deck there. you probably felt the cooling yesterday. those winds kicked up over 30 miles an hour at times late in the day. 54 in oakland. good morning to you. 56 in hayward. and as we take a look at our highlights, we've got that drizzle this morning. it's definitely coming down trending the

they sustain it. >> no, it's so hot. instinctual though. i guess so, yeah, they just have it. yeah. >> the crowd is giving them energy. >> yeah. for sure. yeah. oh, good. all right. well, that was a fun weekend. the weather cooperated, and, you know, we haven't seen much change in the weather. it's been subtle here and there, and we're going to keep it that way for the most part. you see that lightning strike offshore? that is not going to affect us. although there is an element that is allowing for the low clouds and the fog to kind of make their presence known each and every day, but at least it pulls back and we have that sunshine. so it's the usual pattern, but it's not. how's that? because we'll still have another trough that moves in the end of the week, allowing for temperate readings and no extreme heat. so things are going to remain fairly steady as we get through the rest of june early july. the next few days, 65 in danville, retaining the warmth from last night, 56 in fremont. and we've got low clouds around the bay this morning,

so it's going to stay cloudy, a little drizzly throughout the mid-morning hours, then sunshine maybe 11:00 12:00 in some spots will return to mild to warm temperatures, with upper 70s in milpitas, 82 in san jose. so that's nice, right? you get down towards morgan hill. it's 90. upper 70s here. maybe a stray 80 degree reading. so the peninsula has been pleasant, the sea breeze throughout the afternoon and that fog just staying put right along the coast, more mid 60s downtown. you'll need the jacket early and then the afternoon mid 80s from calistoga, bayshore, pleasant low 70s in oakland with 77 in san leandro. and then the 80s creep through fremont and union city back towards our inland valleys, upper 80s to near 90. so pleasant to warm there. and then as we get into the new month, we'll keep it the same. it's really thursday. friday we get some dramatic cooling, and of course we'll have to deal with the fog for the fourth.

if you believe in cutting people's taxes. securing the border, having a strong military and controlling government spending. so we're adding 2 trillion this year. but we they're anticipating the authors of the bill anticipating adding more than 2 trillion next year. that doesn't sound at all conservative to me. and that's why i'm a no. >> after republican senators rand paul of kentucky and thom tillis of north carolina said they would oppose the measure, president donald trump took to social media on sunday and threatened republican senators not to go too crazy, suggesting that they still need to be reelected. and just hours later, tillis announced he won't be running for reelection. now, if this bill passes, it still faces an uphill battle in the house. several house republicans have expressed opposition to the senate version of the bill. nicole deantonio abc news, washington. >> president trump says he is not planning to extend a 90 day

pause on tariffs on most nations past july 9th. his administration claims it will notify countries that trade penalties will go into effect unless deals are made with the u.s. letters will be sent to countries before the approaching deadline. trump downplayed the news by saying that it would be difficult to meet with every nation. his administration had a goal of making 90 trade deals in 90 days. president trump says there is a buyer for tiktok but is refusing to say who it is. he told fox news that he will reveal who it is in about two weeks. trump did say that the buyers were a group of very wealthy people. it has been about five months since a law went into effect requiring a ban on tiktok in the u.s, unless it was sold. trump has delayed the ban enforcement three times. the deadline for tiktok's parent company, bytedance, to hand over control is now september 17th. >> if you've been on bart lately and you feel like your experience has been better than in the past, it's not you imagining things. bart is
