san jose's reid-hillview airport was in the spotlight on capitol hill today. a santa clara county supervisor and mayoral candidate cindy chavez testified considering a national ban on leaded aviation fuel. the panel heard the testimony about the harmful effects of airborne lead on communities near general aviation airports due to the use of leaded fuel. representative ro khanna says 20,000 airports still use leaded fuel, and many are located in communities of color or low-income neighborhoods. the hearing cited a santa clara study that found elevated levels of lead in children who live within a mile and a half of reid-hillview, which prompted the county to ban the sale of leaded fuel at the airport last year. >> hundreds of thousands of aircraft flight every day with leaded fuel over communities across this country. we know it's poisonous. we know we have to stop it.

7:17 pm
showers, even some thunderstorms. we don't want cloud-to-ground lightning when all the vegetation is so dry. but you need a trigger nearby to start those storms. we don't have that. let's take a look at the next several days. more surging up across california as we head through the weekend and into early next week. so that somewhat muggy feel to the atmosphere really isn't going to go anywhere for the next several days. just kind of get used to it. it's not going to get much worse but not going to improve either. some of the moisture by earler next week is going to be siphoned off from this system. this is a tropical storm right now. by early next week, this is going to be hurricane frank. the bulk of the moisture is going to be centered around the storm itself, not moving up towards us. we're going to steal a little bit to reinforce the moisture already in place. in terms of the lightning threat, we can also simulate that with our forecast models and the good news is it's not showing much activity at all in terms of the lightning density, the number of cloud-to-ground strikes tomorrow afternoon.
7:18 pm
maybe a little bit more by saturday, mainly in the high sierra and the mountains of northern california and the same pattern on sunday with just a little more activity. they don't want any cloud-to-ground lightning strikes in these parts either so we're going to have to watch for new fire starts there. bu fog so dense already. temperatures in the upper 50s and low 60s around the bay. it's going to be gray for the next few days around the bay and along the coast. further inland, mid and high level clouds searched with that moisture. temperatures, upper 60s and low 70s farther inland which is nice for a july evening. the fog is going to make a big push into the inland valleys by tomorrow morning. it's going to be stubborn around the bay and the coast. temperatures tonight dropping down to the mid to upper 50s, which is normal for this time of year. highs tomorrow within three degrees or so on either side of what's average. near 60 along the coast. 70s around the south end of the bay with 80s in the santa clara
7:19 pm
valley. 82 in san jose. mostly 80s in the inland and the east bay. the hottest spots in the low 90s. maybe a few degrees below average for san francisco and oakland. mainly in the 60s there. lower half of the 80s for most of the north bay. fog might be a bit more stubborn in the napa valley. temperatures there in the mid-70s. the extreme heat, though, that's not too far to the north. mendocino county and lake county at or above 100 degrees. temperatures don't change much over the next few days. just kind of wobbling around by a degree or two in san francisco, oakland, and san jose. so it's just a normal late july and early august pattern. a little more cloud cover is going to be noticeable even for inland parts of the bay area as we head into early next week with that monsoonal moisture but t . along the coast, temperatures hovering right around 60 degrees through most of next week and probably most of next month. i'll have an update at 11:00. >> paul, thank you. >> p alameda are working to build positive relationships with kids on the water. it's a new program, casting with
7:20 pm
cops. it's for 6 to 15-year-olds. officers teach the kids how to bait, cast, and even hook and even give water safety tips. >> it's just been a really great platform to spend quality time with kids. >> great idea. officers say building relationships within the community is a critical component to public safety. well, the 49er faithful out supporting their team at practice. what fans are most excited about this season. and join us weekday mornings at 7:00 for live local news streaming on cbs news bay area. you can find us on pluto tv channel 3350 and on any platform
