>> the dogs low maintenance. the fact they're great for apartments and families make them highly desirable and many often pay thousands of dollars to have one as a companion. well, michael reynoso is beloved 3 month-old frenchie named frankie was taken within seconds while he was grabbing his morning coffee in fremont a couple of weeks ago. he says frankie is basically a member of his family. he's heartbroken by this theft and is now offering a $700 reward. >> and within a matter of 15 seconds of putting my on grocery items in my vehicle, he was picked up off the ground. thank you. is that just like another pad or another animal? he was a member of our family. >> french bulldog breeders say that demand is strong for these types of dogs rnd they recommend that maybe of make sure you get a microchip put into your french, hear any pet that you might have in case they do wander off or or stolen. you can track more easily. here's just a quick look at the number of thefts of french bulldogs we've seen recently with all the pictures we made this map to show you that it's just bay area wide.

>> 7.44 is the time and another fire burning in yosemite national park to tell you about. crews have been working to try and contain the red fire, which has now burned about 400 acres. it's the 3rd large fire to break out down yosemite this year. it broke out just as crews were gaining the upper hand on the devastating oak fire, which was sparked by lightning deep in your 70's high country. firefighters now bracing for the red fire to grow as triple digit heat moves into the area. >> makes me think of how we see the red skies, which are nice, but not what you want. and now california, nevada, they are pledging to help lake tahoe take action because of climate change to have a summit yesterday. and senator alex padilla was there isis, the lake has already suffered because of the caldor fire and the drought. he says california and nevada are working together to prevent natural disasters which are becoming all too common and

more severe. but republican congressman tom mcclintock who represents residents around lake tahoe disagrees. he says protecting the region comes down to one key thing. >> this all amid lee is a forest management issue. and this problem is not going to go away even if we all ride our bikes to work in the tofu for hamburgers. >> governor newsom was there as well. just days after he released his own climate goals and he says he is working to turn climate goals into laws. all right. let's check your forecast here at 7.46. forget john trouble in the weather center. looking at the skies forces for good reason. >> for 2 reasons, one, listen to >> the. yeah. yeah. a little not not quite. a storm chaser of look for every drop, right? we will look for those drops. we will take every one of them to. we've had a couple of showers working their way through the south bay earlier this morning on up the peninsula, even parts of the east bay on up through benicia saw a couple of light showers

earlier this morning where we're sitting right now in san jose. you can see some of those dark clouds in the distance. this all has to do with monsoonal moisture. the same thing that's well contributing to our heat from that high high pressure ridge that's built up. we are seeing some rainfall really limited at this point to just the north bay and a couple of pockets there right around alameda. if you're at least on the western edge of alameda and parts of oakland, you are seeing a brief resurgence of rainfall currently. now we are seeing smoke also across the bay area, not as much of an impact as yesterday, but wildfires to our north are certainly contributing to that. this high pressure ridge is contributing to the heat as well as the monsoonal moisture. the factors that we're talking all about this morning, monsoonal moisture goes away. come the afternoon as temperatures begin to build enough so that solano county lake and mendocino counties back into heat advisory territory between 11 this morning at 08:00pm tonight. few clouds this morning. skies clear very nicely this afternoon. it's going to be

comfortable towards the coast. but again, inland and uncomfortable afternoon. so take advantage of these next cool next few cool hours before the heat really builds on in later today. triple digits remain just as much as they did yesterday for the central valley. we're only seeing a couple of triple digit numbers here in the bay. most of us falling a little bit 60's to 70's for san francisco and at the coast as compared to yesterday's 90's along the bay shore today is going to be bringing highs mostly down into the 80's redwood city and san carlos. 87 san jose. you still got 90 degrees and still upper 90's for livermore and pleasanton the livermore. you are record-breaking one. 0, 7, yesterday. so that is better. oakland, berkeley and richmond in the 70's while our triple digit numbers remain in vacaville and brentwood, sonoma, you're at 92 and petaluma right at 90 degrees. even a little bit less hot. come tomorrow and we level out after that for a couple of days before temperatures cool further into sunday and monday back to the 80's inland 70's by the bay. today, the hottest

day of the rest of the forecast. but cooler than yesterday. so you can see the trend ahead of us is only bringing some relief rain. john, thank you for that. enable traffic has been pretty busy this morning. if you are traveling along a 80 at this hour. >> san leandro down to milpitas about 47 to 50 minutes of traffic. certainly picking up on the southbound side. you see a few delays as you're traveling along the northbound side when she reached 3 months. 21 minutes heading into the city maze to that freeman street exit. the traffic definitely has been pretty busy for us. 17 minutes, a 80 to one o one. we had an accident along one o one that is clear is right at 92. so you're still seeing residual issues from that crockett outdoors, the maze. look at that. a 41 minute ride traveling down happen on 24 westbound. traveling from walnut creek down to 5.80, just under 15 minutes for you as you're making that commute and traveling up along one o one. a 53 minute ride from 85 little park darya. james, back to you. thanks. a lot of rain at 7.49, a pilot program is

>> prices have been trending down throughout the bay area, we should mention the wine country, homes are actually retaining their value fairly well. the brokerage says and large part. that's because a lot of the summer homes that are up there tend to hold their prices during the summer months. >> apple is saying you got to come to work. you can stay home anymore. the pandemic policies are over. they've set a deadline for corporate employees to return to in-person work by september 15th. they are saying have to come to the office. at least 3 times per week. apple joining a lot of the other big tech companies that are requiring workers to go in physically and one of those tesla ceo elon musk his work as an ultimatum. he said return to the office or else you can leave the company. >> now, the bay area baseball where the giants took on the diamondbacks, hoping to keep their winning streak alive. and boy, did they bottom of the night. we have to go, though, giants down by one. and here's brandon crawford
