degrees. remember how hot it was on sunday? very similar conditions over the next couple of days. in fact, san francisco 10 degrees above average, 20 degrees off its mark in concord, oakland, checking in at 83 right around 93 degrees in san jose. peninsula into the 80s and 90s. 78 today for one of the koolest spots in hayward, otherwise triple digits in the tri- valley. we are talking 104 degrees pleasanton, livermore, san ramon, dublin, blackhawk, tassajara, danville. 106 at the delta. antioch 105. carquinez strait into the 90s. north bay numbers 67 degrees in bodega bay along the coast where you will find the relief. 102 santa rosa. and 107 in ukiah. cloverdale 106. michelle, hotter weather still to come. we'll talk about that still coming up at 18 minutes after the hour. a "flex alert" is in effect today because of the heat wave. officials are trying to prevent

blackouts especially inland where it is expected to whoever around the triple-digit temperatures. and, of course, over here in livermore, the senior center will stay open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. those are extended hours today. live in livermore, i'm jessica flores, kpix 5. a number of cooling centers will also be open again today in the south bay. among them the almaden community center in san jose. that's open from 8 to 8. the bascom community center will also be open from 9 to 5. the campbell community center will open at 1 p.m. for anyone looking to cool off. and in morgan hill, the ntenal recreation nior center is open until 10 p.m. for mo go to cbssf.com. time now 6:04. let's turn to our morning commute. >> yeah. let's check in with jaclyn. >> hey there. good morning. if you are getting ready to head out, we are tracking a few slowdowns in the south bay. nothing unusual for this time of morning. but you will start tapping on the brakes if you are heading

many emissions can come from a certain part of the refine are you but not from each refinery as a whole. chevron, phillips, shell, tesoro and valero, combined they would be allowed to emit more than 20 million tons per year of greenhouse gases that cap is 24% higher than the original proposal so some environmentalists are upset saying new rules are too weak but it is a compromise. a representative from the sierra club says, it defeats the purpose of a cap if you make it so large that none of the rerefineries is ever going to reach it. oil companies fighting against these new rules say they could increase costs and possibly limit production. the meeting starts here in san francisco at 9:45. and it's going to start with a public hearing so probably hear some fiery testimony from both sides. live in san francisco, anne makevoc, kpix 5. majority leader mitch

rules saying they would impose new costs and could even limit production of oil. but there is going to be a heated debate here in san francisco about these new rules today. right now, there are limits on emissions from certain parts of refineries but no overall cap on the total from a refinery as a whole so the refineries affected are in contra costa and solano counties. chevron, phillips, tesoro, shell and vallejo are affected. the cap is now 24% higher than the original proposal. some environmentalists claim the rules are too weak. it is a compromise. >> we need to have the policies and the regulations to ensure that oil companies are held accountable for that. >> reporter: that is a rep from the sierra club earlier this year for a different set of rules at refineries. that push made after this

explosion at chevron in richmond in 2012 releasing a cloud of toxic smoke that sent 15,000 people to the hospital. a federal investigation found the 40-year-old pipe that blew up was corroded and should have been previously replaced. so those osha rules were passed. who knows what the air quality management district will do about these new rules. but what's important to note is that these rules would only affect bay area refineries not others in california not others across the country. so some say they are being picked off. live in san francisco, anne makevoc, kpix 5. former georgia secretary of state karen handel won the hotly contested sixth district congressional seat beating the favorite democrat. she is now georgia's first republican woman to be elected to congress. she defeated democrat jon ossoff in a race that had nearly $50 million pumped into it. >> my pledge is to be part of the solution, to focus on

know whether trump believes russia meddled in the election. president trump is sending his son-in-law jared kushner back to the middle east. white house officials say this trip is to keep the momentum going on an israeli-palestinian peace process. even with russia investigations hanging over the white house. kushner met with the russian ambassador to the u.s. and that u.s.-moscow tie has impacted israel. this morning buckingham palace has reported that prince philip is in the hospital being treated for infection. the queen's husband was admitted as a precaution. he has haa number of health problems in the past. he is in good spirs. the duke of edinburgh was not able to attend her speech today and will be stepping down from public events going forward. there's new information about the suspect reportedly behind a terror attack in brussels identified as a moroccan national in his 30s. authorities say he caused an
