52 are here in san francisco. tonight a big increase in women coming to california for abortions. >> left arizona at 10:00 p.m. on friday, left phoenix with her friend, drove through the night, got to our center in san bernardino, slept in the car from about 4:00 a.m. when they arrived to 6:30 when the appointment was. and then right afterwards got in the car and drove home. it was a 4 minute and 12 second procedure. >> in the two weeks leading up to the supreme court's decision to overturn roe v. wade, planned parenthood clinics in orange and san bernardino counties saw nine out of state patients. in the two weeks after, they say 21, mostly from texas and arizona. southern california clinics are also seeing an influx of patients from up and down the state. that's because their closest clinics are booked solids with patients from other states. >> a new report shows californians are finally starting toen coserve water, but

not much. state-wide usage fell by 3% in may compared with may of 2021. the bay area did better as a region. places like rona mark and burling gain cut about 2%. this follows two months in a row where the state reported double digit increases in water use. zblnchts let's take a look outside right now, a live look from san francisco. you can see, oh, carl. >> there it is. >> it's back. >> he's here. first alert meteorologist is also here for us. paul, we're not going to see any rain, but we'll take the humidity. >> exactly, the fog does provide some moisture. the plants can breathe that in if the marine layer makes its way in far enough inland. we'll settle for the fog. we'll see some of that along with some drizzle along the coast and for some of the higher terrain as we head through the evening, overnight hours, higher terrain along the coast, that is. near normal temperatures tomorrow. lingering clouds with low fog and cloud cover in the morning.

then afternoon sunshine. a lot of temperatures to warm up to normal. inland heat building by sunday and monday. it's not going to be ridiculously hot sunday and monday, but just toasty. right now, which camera is this? i happen to know it's sutro tower but otherwise you wouldn't be able to tell because of the fog rolling in. it's down to 63 in oakland, 68 in san francisco. inland temperatures still in the 70s. its a nice evening out there. just definitely breezy in the city and along the coast with the on shore wind reasserting itself. that's going to help to push the fog inland, farther inland than we saw this morning. and the fog layer is going to be a little bit thicker. it will take a bit extra time for the fog to dissipate tomorrow. it is going to back up to the coast by lunchtime at the latest. but the slower trend of the fog backing up means temperatures aren't going to be quite as warm as today. mid to upper 50s to around 60 degrees, normal for the middle of july. temperatures climb slowly until the fog backs up.

once we get to noon, inland temperatures in the 70s while 60s around the bay and upper 50s close to the coast. you're going to be about 5 degrees below normal but low to mid 80s for north bay, low r8s for santa clara. no 90s on the map in july? not bad at all. 60s and 70s around the bay is where we're supposed to be. if you're going to be heading out and about, the art and wine festival in los altos, temperatures topping upper 70s on saturday. the heat is going to continue to build, which means we've got one more day of a -- okay fire danger index. the highest value we're going to see tomorrow afternoon around a 3 or 4. below the halfway point but i think we are going to be climbing a bit with the higher fire threat with the hotter temperatures and lower humidity

values by sunday and monday. temperatures don't climb much in san francisco. near 90 in oakland for a couple days. in san jose, sunday and monday are going to be the hottest days in the seven day forecast for everybody across the board. low 90s inland and the east bay. some of those usual hotter spots for eastern contra costa county and solano county maybe sliming to 97 or 98. but everybody staying below 100 degrees. that's not much of a heat wave by july standards. then we're back down to near normal temperatures the rest of next week, which is a mix of clouds and sunshine. by wednesday and thursday, a little bit of monsoonal moisture in southern california, but i don't think it's going to bother us. more than $100 million is coming down the track to muni. how it will benefit riders but only on certain lines. join us monday for our new 7:00 a.m. newscast, streaming live on cbs news bay area. find us on pluto tv channel
