leaders are marking this milestone and looking ahead to a new chapter. >> from ktvu. fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> welcome back to mornings on two. i'm gasia mikaelian. >> and i'm james torres. today is monday, june 30th, the last day of june. to take advantage of the hot weather this weekend. >> i was in hayward yesterday afternoon for a little opera in the park event by san francisco opera. we were sweating it out looking for shade. >> yeah. >> but it was. >> at least you weren't shivering. >> that's true, that's true. >> which we might normally be in san francisco. steve paulson but no june gloom this past weekend. >> it was nice. finally the sun came out and temperatures. you finally got a 70 degree temp. first one of the month and the only one on the month was on friday. but boy, there's a big fog bank here. and up above that around 15,000ft. we have some outdoor cues associated with a low that kind of engulfing the city there with the low cloud deck. so it will be cooler today. 50s on the temps here, 52 to 59 and a lot of high clouds streaming across. and they're associated with this system off

southern california. so a mix of fog, high clouds. there is a fine line on this band. if you're south of it or north of it, it's probably sunny or you get the fog. otherwise it's a mix of the fog and high clouds. and that's the system. the lightning strikes are the ones we're concerned about. so farther offshore. so by june that was it. it went pretty quick there. coastal low clouds, some higher clouds, a mix of low clouds, high clouds and sun. 60s, 70s, 80s to near 90 on the temps. here we'll go 64 to 90 on this panel. all right. south here at 701. and he tells us a bridge a freeway where. >> yeah, let's go to a freeway. first i want to start with interstate 80 steve. and interstate 80 westbound is a little slow. it's not it's not the worst i've seen for sure. but we definitely have a little slow traffic there. as you drive on the east shore freeway. now, i'm looking at some of these other bridges here. and for example, the san mateo bridge looks all right. heading out to the high rise, you can see that traffic is okay. the bay bridge is backed up to the maze. i do want to mention that if you are

driving on most of these commutes, they're just a touch lighter, but they're not completely light. highway four, for example, does have slow traffic. as you drive out toward the willow pass. grade 701. let's get back to the headlines, sal. >> thank you. the california budget includes more than $1 billion in funding and a $750 million loan for bay area transit. >> lots of eyes on it. ktvu ana quintana live in san mateo this morning with what this means for local transit service and why some say the money is desperately needed. >> yeah, so there are two pieces of this funding. really. there is a $1.1 billion that was previously promised funds. so then separate from that, there's also a loan and that's a $750 million loan. the idea is that this loan can kind of help hold over these transit agencies until next year, when politicians are hoping that there is a measure on the ballot, a tax measure that voters can then weigh in on. so

simply put, bus, rail and ferry systems need more money. ridership is down. covid emergency funds are running out. so bay area transit agencies like bart, ac transit, caltrain and muni are all struggling, many of them dealing with millions of dollars in deficits. and this could lead to services being slashed to avoid even larger deficits. so the current state budget could be the temporary relief they need to survive, until a 2026 ballot measure can provide more long term funding. the bill to add that ballot measure, though, still needs to be passed. there is going to be a press conference here in san mateo at nine this morning with some of the leaders that are supporting this funding. they are excited that bay area transit agencies get this funding and can kind of survive until hopefully they have this ballot measure, which would be next year. live in san mateo. amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news. >> amanda, thank you. bart says

efforts to clean its trains and boost safety are starting to pay off. the transit agency's latest report reveals a 6% jump in ridership this past quarter, with bigger boosts on the weekend. bart says overall customer satisfaction is up to 84%. robberies and thefts are down. police complaints have dropped by more than half. despite this, ridership is still only about half of where it was before the pandemic, which raises questions about bart's financial future. since much of bart's funding is connected to fares. >> time now 704 this week, riding the train and ferries will start to cost a little bit more. starting july 1st, caltrans base fare will increase $0.25, raising adult fares to $4 and discount fares to $2. fares for golden gate transit and ferry will go up by about 3%, and muni fares for single adult riders using clipper or muni mobile will increase by $0.10. ac transit fares will also be going up for riders in the east bay. local cash fares will go up by $0.25 to 2.75, and transbay

fares will go up $0.50 to 650. it comes after the board of directors approved fare adjustment due to a projected $41 million shortfall. this is the agency's first fare adjustment since 2019. >> oakland city auditor is raising questions about the financing of a nonprofit that helps people with hiv or aids. h project of the east bay was created more than 40 years ago to help stop the spread of aids and hiv and find housing for patients. a whistleblower alerted the auditor's office that contracted services were not being delivered to clients. an investigation found more than $100,000 was missing. the organization was accused that it couldn't be reached by phone or email, and stayed closed during business hours. city eventually pulled the contract and asked for the money back. >> the san francisco aids foundation is reportedly laying off employees, as the nonprofit faces a nearly $6 million budget. according to the bay area reporter, so far, 19 people have been let go, including three executives. a spokesperson

says the layoffs are effective. as of tomorrow, the sf aids foundation has been facing financial problems for months, including a big decrease in fundraising. >> two san francisco city leaders are now urging blue shield of california to resolve its contract dispute with uc health. city attorney david chu and supervisor matt dorsey say the contract dispute threatens access to critical health care for thousands of san francisco city workers and retirees. negotiations between the two health care giants have recently stalled over reimbursement rates. if an agreement isn't reached by july 10th, ucsf health will be out of network for blue shield of california members. >> and days on the picket line. workers at children's hospital in oakland have returned to work this morning. the union says it decided to return to work after a federal judge denied the request for an injunction that would have stopped ucsf from moving forward with the plan to merge children's hospital workers into other ucsf departments. their strike ended this morning. the union is now trying to get a judge to order arbitration in the labor

dispute. that strike lasted about two weeks. >> happening today, vallejo city unified school district is fully regaining control after being under state receivership for 20 years. today, the school district will hold a joint news conference to discuss the challenges it overcame and what lies ahead. back in 2004, the district experienced financial collapse and needed a $60 million emergency loan to stay operational and entered state receivership last year. the school district fully paid off the loan. 707 here this weekend's massive pride parade and celebration in san francisco at a markedly different tone than in years past. attendees noted recent attacks on the lgbtq community, including recent court decisions to cut gender affirming care for transgender youth. others protested federal cuts to lgbtq nonprofits and programs. just last week, san francisco police arrested a 19 year old for vandalizing the pink triangle at twin peaks. >> it's heartbreaking because you see, like the lack of knowledge about what that stands for. it matters that we show up in numbers. it it shows the

people that don't really dare come out and walk around, yet it shows them that it's safe. >> through the weekend, there was a rainbow laser display shining for miles over market street, creating the largest pride flag image in the world. >> resistance was one of the main themes of this year's pride celebrations in downtown san francisco. the 55th annual san francisco pride parade is the largest pride parade in the world. this year's theme was queer joy is resistance. people from not just across the bay area but around the world enjoy the colorful floats, elaborate costumes, and live performers. attendees told us why pride is important to them. >> pride ourselves. nobody else will. so we celebrate ourselves. >> i brought my daughter. it's her birthday 16 so letting her know that it's okay to be different and embrace herself. >> i want to send it out across america. the rest of america to let us know. see what we do, how we do it with pride.

>> one woman told us she's attended every pride parade since the tradition began. mayor daniel lurie also marched in the parade. it was his first since becoming the mayor of san francisco. as pride month wraps up, make sure to see all the stories we covered over the past month. you can find them on our website and on our fox local app. >> time is 709. i've been looking at the middle of the east bay and i definitely can tell. just a little lighter there with 880 heading south. a little slowing in hayward, a little slowing in union city, but usually by now we have some more slow traffic. so i think we're getting some of that bump when it comes to 4th of july week. san mateo bridge has a little bit of slowing as well. nothing too bad, but there is definitely some slowing there. and if you are driving all the way out to the peninsula, it does look okay. it looks like the picture. freeze there. there we go. traffic is going to be okay. a little slowing on the dumbarton bridge as well. and of course we want to check in with

the bay bridge. that looks normal. it's backed up to the maze and the metering lights are on. 709 let's go back to the desk, sal. >> thank you. a federal judge clears the way for berkeley to remove a growing encampment at ohlone park. what the city must do before taking action. >> oakland airport wants to change its name again. why not? everyone is on board, and the legal challenges that could ground the effort. >> every day, over 1000 accidents happen in california. lives turned upside down in an instant. the aftermath of an accident can be overwhelming. medical bills, lost wages, and emotional trauma. at jacobi and myers, we control the chaos, providing legal and emotional support so you can focus on healing. with over 50 years of experience and $2 billion recovered for our clients, we fight for the justice you deserve. call jacoby and myers at one 8 million

morning. some of the stories we're following for you. the senate is preparing for a long voting session on president trump's tax cut and spending bill. today, the bill just passed a close procedural vote late saturday night with a 5347 republican majority. republicans can only lose three votes to pass it. president trump is pushing for the bill to be signed by the 4th of july. the silicon valley bart expansion

received a $100 million funding injection, but it still falls about $1 billion short of its target. this boost comes from two grants awarded by the california transportation commission. the new line will connect the berryessa transit center to downtown san jose, with officials targeting a 2037 opening. and immigrant enforcement officers detained a drag performer in san francisco. according to sf pride, latinx performer hilary rivers was taken into ice custody wednesday. the organization says he was arrested outside san francisco immigration court after an asylum hearing, and is now in custody at an ice facility facility in mcfarland, which is just outside of bakersville. >> the city of berkeley now has the green light to clear a homeless encampment at ohlone park. a federal judge declined an effort by homeless advocates to stop the sweep, but ruled the city has to give three days notice before it happens. the city was planning on clearing the encampment before the lawsuit. park neighbors have reported health and safety concerns involving drug use and

violent threats. the encampment grew in april after the closure of another encampment at civic center park. city leaders have not announced a timeline for the sweep. >> a plan to bring in sheriff's deputies to help vallejo's understaffed police force is now on hold. the city council pushed back a vote to sign off on the extra patrols and now union pushback. a patrol car shortage and a last minute pension issue have thrown the deal into question. the sheriff now says he'll need even more deputies and cars to move forward. county supervisors say they will make a decision on july 22nd. >> oakland airport has a new name again. this time the port said. it's putting oakland first. the airport announced the new name is the oakland san francisco bay airport. last year, a judge blocked the airport from changing its name to san francisco bay oakland international airport. the airport says, including san francisco bay, and the name will help attract more passengers, airlines and routes. we ran the new name by some passengers who said they prefer oakland's old name and add. the proposals are

confusing. oakland. >> san francisco, san francisco, san francisco. but this is oakland, so we should call it the oakland airport. >> legally speaking, the issue is that san francisco is still prominent. it's the second part. it's after it comes after oakland, but it's still there, and it's still confusing for a consumer. when they see oakland, san francisco. >> the port of oakland, which manages the airport, will first vote on whether to adopt the name change. then a meeting is set for july 10th. let's get to some developing news here. a fast moving brush fire in southern california has spread over 1100 acres near homes and is prompting evacuations. the wolf fire down in riverside county, near banning, started just after three yesterday afternoon. some 750 people have been ordered or warned to evacuate. this is one of three fires that started over the weekend in riverside county. the cause is under investigation. >> all right, 716 your time. we'll send it over to steve paulson and talk about the weather for today and the week. >> warm to hot inland, but then much cooler by the time we get

to the third and fourth. we do have a band of high clouds over us, although i think there's a back edge to this already. underneath that, they're up around 15,000ft and broken out the cues. he sees what we call them, and underneath that is a fog bank. so you have the higher clouds going east to west, the fog going west to east. kind of interesting. don't see that all the time around here at the end of june. but you know we're almost transitioning into july. but this band of clouds is moving onshore. has a little bit of punch to it. and i'll show you in a second. the city 64. 52 today. average 6754. so below again on both. it will be a cool ending to june. no doubt about it. one day at 70 degrees this month that was it. and that was on friday and 24 days with highs in the 60s, five days with highs in the 50s, and the average high and the average low were all below. so if you thought it was cool, it was, except we ended with a lot of sunshine. santa rosa, livermore, palo alto, san jose. down we go, 80, 90, 80 and 80 on the forecast highs. so coming down a little bit that's the low. that's so she tapped in

a little bit of moisture. you see the circulation around that counterclockwise is tapped in some moisture and some lightning strikes most offshore. but because of that there's concern as the low kind of hangs around for about two days up in northern sacramento valley, mendocino county, lake county, you could get some high base thunderstorms. i don't think it will be rain, but the lightning is the big concern. 50 on most of the temps, couple of 60s, but mainly 50s on the temps 40s 50s up in the mountains. although reno 66 degrees, mount shasta 61 cloud cover. most of it has already moved offshore. but we'll mention a few high clouds, kind of maybe lingering, but it will be a mix of mostly sunny with some low clouds on the coast. this low hangs around till wednesday, then gets bumped out of here. so with that in place though, it is definitely increased the low cloud deck. but they're not making that big surge yet. but monday morning more fog, upper 80s low 90s inland but 60s and 70s closer to the bay. any travel plans to tahoe or even northern sacramento valley next couple of days? keep an eye on things. thunderstorms could erupt. i think tahoe is more in line around wednesday. thursday, we'll say by june. coastal low

clouds, some higher clouds and sun temperatures 60, 70, 80s, 90s. but after tomorrow, i think they start to all come down. you guys. oh, sal, we'll go to sal. >> yes, sir. steve. >> i forgot about you. i apologize, my friend. >> i'm right here. and you know what? right now, we don't have a lot going on on highway 24. let's start there. westbound looks pretty good from walnut creek as you head over to the tunnel. there have been no major problems here at the bay bridge. it is backed up as it normally is. it started off lighter. it might end off lighter, too. we'll see what the volume is like. san mateo bridge is crowded. but you know what? nearby, we don't have a lot of crowding in the south bay, and usually we do. so that could be something. and also 880 is just a touch less crowded. but i don't want to mislead you. it is slow. it's just not as slow as it was last week. and we're expecting a little bit of a drop off as we approach the 4th of july 719. let's go back to the desk. >> all right, so speaking of the 4th of july, a holiday weekend could mean a day on the water

for some. but even those who are strong swimmers can suffer cold water shock or drown in fast moving waters. doctors say there should be a dedicated adult watching young children around lakes and rivers. >> children can drown in less than two inches of water, young children in particular. so you want to make sure that as a parent or caregiver, you're being diligent to keep an eye on your children. if you're going to be playing with the water or around water, have a water watcher. so an adult who's designated to keep an eye on the kids, and if you're not going to be around the water, or if children are not supposed to be there, make sure that you've got a locked gate that latches. >> the american academy of pediatrics recommends swim lessons for children as soon as a family is able, as early as age one in some cases, and urges layers of protection such as supervision, proper lifejackets and cpr trained adults. >> a deadly ambush in idaho. two firefighters shot one of them critically hurt after responding to a brush fire. authorities now say the alleged attacker is dead. still, many questions remain. and a dramatic moment at beyonce's houston concert left

fans holding their breath as a high flying performance took an unexpected turn. we'll show you the malfunction that left the singer stuck in midair. >> when temperatures rise above 100 degrees, everyone in northern california gets two free cooling pillows with their mattress purchase only yet.

welcome back to mornings on two. 723. a live look at ktvu own backyard, the oakland alameda estuary. sort of cool and gray as we're waking up to another workweek or another week of summer vacation, if you're lucky. we had some warmth over the weekend, but according to our meteorologist, steve paulson, that is easing today. we'll bring him in in just a minute for a look ahead. >> in the meantime, at 724 this morning, idaho authorities say a suspected gunman who ambushed firefighters is now dead. a sniper shot and killed two firefighters and wounded another as crews responded to a brush fire near the northwestern part of idaho. this attack drew 300 local, state and federal law enforcement officers. a shelter in place lasted through sunday until a swat unit discovered the body of a man, believed to be the shooter. police say they found a gun near his body. >> we do believe that the that the suspect started the fire, and we do believe that it was an ambush. and it was intentional.

and yeah, we do believe that he started it, and it was totally intentional. what he did. >> the hurt firefighter needed emergency surgery and remains in the hospital this morning. we're waiting to learn the identity of the dead suspected shooter. firefighters and law enforcement from across the region held a procession for the two firefighters killed in the ambush. that procession crossed state lines from idaho into spokane, washington, where a medical examiner will perform autopsies. the names of the firefighters have not yet been released. >> pop star beyonce was left hanging in the air when a prop malfunctioned during a. >> concert this weekend. a flying car prop got stuck and tilted her over the crowd in houston. this is what happened during one of the final songs of her concert. the singer asked the crew to stop the show. the car with beyonce inside was slowly lowered back to the stage. in the end, no one was

hurt. >> but that scary thing to see. your hearts are racing, no doubt. >> you have one of the world's most valuable pop stars in your hands in those cables. let's. let's take this. >> one dangling from a car. yeah. >> all right, warriors, jonathan kuminga is a free agent. after the team made a one year, $7.9 million offer to keep him starting today. other nba teams can make offers, but the warriors will have the chance to match any deal. the 22 year old averaged 15 points last season and made an impact in the playoffs. general manager mike dunleavy says both sides want to reach an agreement soon, but they're ready to be patient. [music] empty office buildings could be the key to adding thousands of new homes in san francisco. why? red tape and zoning rules may be standing in the way, and the push to do something about it. [music]

acres are set to vote on a bill that could speed up housing by cutting red tape. how the decision could make or break the state budget signed just days ago, and the senate takes on

president trump's tax and spending bill today with tight votes and heated debates looming, the crucial decisions lawmakers are facing as the clock ticks toward this weeks deadline. >> from ktvu, fox two news this is mornings on two. >> it's a monday. we welcome you to mornings on two. i'm james torres. >> i'm gasia mikaelian. it is june 30th. we are wrapping up a cooler than usual june. let's run over to the weather center and see what steve paulson might see on the horizon. >> well, it's going to cool down for the fourth, i can tell you that. significantly cooler. but today, if you're inland, it will still be upper 80s to near 90. band of higher clouds kind of drifting across, although it looks like we're you know, we're on the back edge of that. but the low clouds are there, no doubt about it. much bigger fog bank than we've seen over the weekend, that's for sure. 5060 on the temps here. low mid to low 60s already here. and that's the higher clouds right there associated with a low. but again it looks like this initial band is about ready to move offshore.

been some lightning strikes. therein lies the concern especially to the north for possible fire concerns but not over us. that's it. by june, coastal low clouds, some higher clouds. mostly sunny inland. it looks pretty good here. mix of sun, low clouds, temperatures anywhere from 60 7080s to near 90 degrees. all right. south here at 730 in the morning on a monday. and the traffic is. >> it's a little better than usual, steve, i want to point to the east bay and start there, because i can see that 880 is still slow heading south, but it is going to be slow. but i think the but was it's lighter. you can see some areas of empty traffic and some areas of pretty good traffic between hayward and union city, and it's getting better by the moment. also dublin to 680 pleasanton. and i do think that this week is going to be just a little different as we get close to celebrating the 4th of july. this is a look at westbound 24. you can see that traffic is okay. and if you're driving to the bay bridge that is still backed up to at least the macarthur maze. 731 let's

get back to the headlines. >> all right, sam, thank you. talking about politics on a nationwide scale. taking a live look inside the capitol building on the senate floor. this is where this morning, the senate will take on president trump's tax cut and spending bill. some of those conversations starting just about an hour ago, the bill narrowly clearing a procedural vote late saturday on a 51 to 49 count this morning, amendments to the proposals on the bill and quicker votes will begin. debate is growing as democrats hope to stall the bill out, and issues voiced include tax cuts, trimming of medicaid money for states and work requirements for food benefit eligibility. >> we're going to have a debate worthy of a great country. we'll have what they think and what we think, and we're going to vote on this bill in the coming days, and i'm excited about that. i've worked a long time. >> republicans in the senate maintain a 5347 advantage, meaning they can only afford to

lose three votes. vice president jd vance could break the tie if need be. president trump is pushing lawmakers to get the bill on his desk by this friday, the 4th of july. >> some republicans say they're split on the president's spending plan because of its impact on the national debt. the nonpartisan congressional budget office calculated the current senate package would add another $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. supporters say president trump's goal is to cut taxes and boost the economy, which in the long run would reduce the deficit. opponents fear the long term fiscal consequences are more likely to happen. >> a plan to sell a huge chunk of public land has been cut from the tax and spending bill after bipartisan backlash. utah senator mike lee announced he is pulling his plan, which would have put over a million acres of public lands throughout the western u.s. up for sale. he said the proposal was meant to make the land available for building housing, but it faced bipartisan opposition from conservationists, as well as groups such as hunters and fishermen. >> president trump's spending

bill is expected to be among the topics discussed at a town hall meeting today, hosted by east bay congressman mark desaulnier. we'll also touch on the situation in the middle east and recent supreme court decisions. desaulnier has been critical of president trump's unilateral decision to launch attacks on iran and the way the administration informed congress. the town hall in antioch set for tonight at 630. time now is 734. happening today, california lawmakers plan to vote on a bill that's aimed at speeding up housing construction. the proposal would exempt many types of urban development projects from from review under the california environmental quality act, or sequa. some lawmakers argue that ceqa has been used to derail housing projects, even the state's high speed rail project. governor newsom says his signature of the state budget will be revoked if the bill isn't passed. the state budget, signed by the governor over the weekend cuts taxes for veterans completely, funds free school meals and more. >> 734 your time. turning empty office spaces into homes could help ease san francisco's housing crunch. axios reports.

an analysis by the kaplan group, a business debt collection agency, found the city's vacant office buildings could produce more than 61,000 additional housing units. san francisco is still struggling to rebound from the pandemic. more than a third of office buildings are still empty. and researchers say rezoning and construction laws are a big barrier to the extra housing. mayor daniel lowry says he wants to change housing codes to make the conversions easier. >> the alice b toklas lgbtq democratic club held its annual pride breakfast at the hyatt embarcadero ballroom. organizers say every year, the event supports the organization's year round work and brings the city together for the largest political pride event in the country. the club is the nation's oldest queer democratic club. it was founded in the 70s, right after the stonewall uprising in new york. >> not a party, it is a protest. and so it's a celebration of just the fight. thinking back on stonewall, thinking back on our trans brothers and sisters who have lifted us up, it's

important to just stay grounded. >> the organization says it works to transform politics at the local, state and national level by identifying and electing candidates who support their cause. during this pride month and beyond, ktvu is bringing stories of those in the lgbtq plus community. you'll see them here on the air, our website, and the fox local app. >> bay area police departments will be on the hunt for illegal fireworks this weekend already. officers in east palo alto issued a $1,000 citation for illegal fireworks. police say when responding to a call, they found those fireworks in the bed of a truck. everyone at the scene denied responsibility. officers ended up citing one person in the group. even in cities where some fireworks are legal, only those deemed, quote, safe and sane fireworks are allowed. but in all, about a handful of bay area cities, all fireworks are considered illegal. >> this 4th of july, there won't be any fireworks on the peninsula. foster city canceled its display due to construction.

redwood city is switching to a drone show instead of fireworks. officials say safety cost and environmental impact drove the change. redwood city's drone show starts at 930 following an afternoon parade. foster city's festivities wrap up by 4 p.m. if you want to see a fireworks show. the closest ones will be in mountain view or san francisco. >> fireworks are cool because of the popping and the loud noises and what it can produce, but a drone show is very cool. hundreds of drones flying around all lit up and creating all these shapes. that's something to look forward to too. all right, 737 let's bring in sal castaneda from our traffic center. >> all right, james, good morning to you both. we are going to start with the bay bridge toll plaza. and that's what a lot of people want to know, because this is kind of a temperature of the morning commute. i can tell it's already beginning to get lighter. you can see the end of it. and if you can't see it, i will point it out to you. it's kind of right there at the right there at the end. see, you can tell. and also that line over there is

getting shorter. so i think by 8:00 we're going to see some vast improvement in case you have to make that drive. san mateo bridge looks okay. it's not a light day, but it's also not a typical monday, if that makes any sense to you. i'll show you what i mean. here, look at 880. we have a bigger breaks than usual. 680 has some slow traffic. 580 is pretty good into castro valley. so i think if you have to go, at least it will be just a little bit better for you. and by the way, the south bay is pretty quiet as well. 738 here's a man who is never off his game, always completely on 100%. >> so when i rode my horse in this morning, there was a lot of traffic. honestly. >> people who are getting up early, those jobs, you still have to go. >> i agree there was more than i thought, but i think by wednesday i think you're spot on. we'll see a big decrease. there are higher clouds coming across, but i think we're about done here. but there's a pretty good fog bank underneath that you can see. watch okay. the

higher clouds associated with a low which will be around here for about a two and a half days, then it will get kicked out of here. but the low clouds are there. but the higher clouds have generated some lightning strikes off shore, not over us 6452 for the city average is now 6754. so another day of below on both 93 and 1996, the record high 47 1908. and yes, the record rainfall this time of year. you don't expect much 0.02, probably drizzle in 1997, santa rosa, livermore, palo alto, san jose. down we go. upper 70s 80s to near 90 degrees for some, but i think the inland temps are still going to hold on for a couple of days. then they'll cool down later in the week. you can see the lightning strikes are moving off the coast, so but because of that elevated moisture and that could trigger some activity, especially over the mountains, i think tahoe probably more likely tuesday, wednesday. something to watch if you're going up there in northern sacramento valley up towards shasta as well. 50s on the temps to low 60s, fairfield, concord, walnut creek, all at 61. san carlos, 61 4650 truckee,

south lake tahoe, carson city 68, reno 66. you can see some of that moisture lifting northward. sacramento valley. get a little lift there. i'm sure we'll see some developing over the mountains later today, but for us, we're it's just too dry below 10,000ft to generate much. but the low will be with us through, at least probably wednesday morning before it starts to pack its bags and gets bumped along by another system. so for today, more morning fog, that's for sure. near 90 for some. inland, the fog bank is not deep enough yet. there will be maybe some lightning to the north or east. and i'll draw your attention again up towards markleeville tahoe, maybe redding north. ukiah north, clear lake north. something to keep an eye on next couple of days. once we get past wednesday, then it won't be a concern here. it will be much cooler and a bigger fog bank coming in. so mix of sun, low clouds, few high clouds, but temperatures anywhere from 60, 70, 80 to near 90 degrees. but cooler temps are on the way. probably. probably. if not tuesday, wednesday, then for sure thursday into friday you guys. >> steve thank you. time is 740. starting this fall, buy now, pay

later loans could affect your credit score. we'll talk with an expert about this. go deeper into it on the 8:00 hour. >> but for now, we want to hear from you and your thoughts. this morning we're asking, have you ever considered using a buy now, pay later loan? here are your options. yes, i've used it before. that's about a third of you so far. only in a pinch. don't like to use it all that often. that's gaining about 12%. and then. no, i don't want the debt that's leading the way right now, with about half of our voters going in that direction, you can still weigh in. just head to ktvu.com/viewer poll. >> and it's important to note buy now, pay later isn't always a scam. if you adhere to the terms, you'll do okay. the people who offer these loans are banking that everyone won't adhere to the terms, and that's how they make their money. >> yeah, right. it's always about making that extra cash, but getting to that debt can be a little scary. as we go to break one more look at that poll. you can scan that qr code in the top right corner that will take you to our survey. stick around. we'll be right back after the break.

we're following this morning. the silicon valley bart project just got a $100 million boost. it's still nearly $1 billion behind on its funding goal. the money is coming from two grants awarded by the california

transportation commission. south bay line will run from the berryessa transit center through downtown san jose. officials say they're aiming to open the expansion in 2037. two firefighters are dead. a third is hurt after being ambushed by a gunman while fighting fires in idaho. a sniper shot and killed two firefighters and wounded another as crews responded to a brush fire in the northwestern part of the state. idaho authorities say a suspected gunman who ambushed firefighters is now dead. the wounded firefighter needed emergency surgery and remains in the hospital this morning. here at home, workers at children's hospital in oakland are back on the job this morning, ending a strike. the union says it decided to return to work after a federal judge denied a request for an injunction that would have stopped ucsf from moving forward with the plan to merge children's hospital workers into other ucsf departments. the union is now trying to get a judge to order arbitration in the labor dispute. >> time now 745. an increasing number of health insurance companies are changing coverage

for gop one weight loss medications. as of july 1st, cvs caremark is no longer covering eli lilly's zep, bound for its 100 million customers. instead, it will shift coverage to the drug wegovy. earlier this year, medicare officials also said the program would not proceed with a proposal initiated by the biden administration to cover wegovy and step down for its beneficiaries. but experts say if you don't qualify for coverage, there might be ways to use the medications without the hefty price tag. >> what's really important to understand is are you covered for weight loss medication on your insurance for glp one, or are you not? if you are covered, then then you're relatively lucky because only about 30% of companies do cover. in that case, you want to make sure you understand which drugs are covered at how much, and potentially you also want to look at. are there discount cards or coupons from the manufacturer to help you pay your share or the co-pay amount? >> according to a survey by the kaiser family foundation, around

6% of american adults are currently prescribed glp one medications for either weight loss or diabetes. >> california's energy commission says it's stepping back from its fight against the oil and gas industry to try to keep prices down at the pump. the commission released an dated plan calling for better support for in-state crude oil production and boosting imports of refined oil. it also calls for a pause on a profit cap on refineries. the plan comes after two refineries in the state announced plans to close in the next year. starting tomorrow, minimum wage is set to increase in a number of california cities and counties, including the bay area cities. seeing raises include alameda, berkeley, emeryville, fremont, milpitas and san francisco, covid fast food workers in our state must also be paid at least $20 an hour. hotel workers are seeing a wage increase as well. it's in response to rising inflation and increased tariffs. >> a new survey shows some younger workers prefer jobs that offer some special workplace perks. a report by resume building website indicates 1 in 6 americans under the age of 28

will only consider a job if it provides a designated rest area. some companies, such as meta and google, first introduced many workplace perks which are meant to incentivize employees beyond the usual benefits. >> we have contributed to that sense of entitlement. and i hate to indict the entire generation, but it is something that we see that runs prevalently through through the workforce. >> 1 in 5 generation z ers say a fun room with recreational activities is essential for a proper work life balance. >> i. >> remember a long time ago. >> 20 years ago was one of my first reports. i went to clif bar when they were out in berkeley still, and i was like, you guys have yoga every day. you have a place where people can bring pets. it was, you know, it was one of the earlier times i laid eyes on those benefits that became somewhat routine in the tech world, and i was blown away.

>> well, we have a coffee machine. >> we do. we have a coffee machine. on election night, we get pizza. >> we do have a foosball table. >> yeah. >> we do. >> okay. yeah, exactly. we're living large over here. >> just. >> newsrooms are different. they've always been different. i don't even dream of yoga. >> it's okay. >> you nailed it. newsrooms are different. let's just. >> you don't check out the downstairs pilates studio here. >> no, no, no, no, i don't either. good morning. good morning everyone. yes, she was right on. newsrooms are different. all right, let's go and take a look. hayward, union city, fremont still slowing, but you're beginning to see some breaks in the action, which is good for you because we're seeing some, you know, some traffic that is getting better. i can totally see it. for example, at the bay bridge, you can see things are improving at the toll plaza. let me put that up. so it's only backed up now to the end of the parking lot. if you win another 20 minutes or so, i think it will be much better than that. so there is traffic out there, but it is getting much better. and this week i think is just going to be

a little different. now what about the weather? a lot of people want to know on the 4th of july week what's it going to be? >> so do i. >> yeah. >> it will be cooler. so it will be much cooler. all right. we do have a band of clouds over us. most of these look like they're clearing, but the fog underneath that is definitely made a bigger push here. so the higher clouds associated with the low, which is off of southern california. it will be hanging around for a couple of days. so high clouds you know, get some clears, then you get some more back. i think that's kind of the way it's going to work, but there's plenty of fog. san mateo coast down to santa cruz. so i mean, they are back into the june gloom to end the month, that's for sure. up in the mountains, truckee already 59, reno 7264, in minden, south lake tahoe at 50 as well. and you can see that's the cloud cover. most of it is pushed already offshore. looks like there's a back edge. doesn't mean they can't fire up and pop up later. some lightning strikes associated with that, which is why there's concerns for fire concerns, especially north and east, not so much over us. and again, the lower layers of the atmosphere are incredibly

dry, so it would be doubtful anything develops for us. the low you can see it spinning there just southwest of the bay area. it will be here through probably tuesday night, wednesday. then a system will come along and bump it out of here. it's called a kicker and that will really usher in a cooler pattern. but if you're on the coast and bay, cooling has already begun, if you're inland, it will still be upper 80s to near 90. maybe some lightning to the north. a couple forecast models are kind of flirting with santa rosa, maybe being in that mix tomorrow, not today. so more likely to be northern sonoma county, mendocino county, lake county. but the majority of this will be outside my forecast zone. but we'll mention it northern sacramento valley if you're heading up also tahoe and truckee, especially on wednesday and thursday. by june that will be it. this is it. coastal low clouds, a few high clouds, but a mix of sun, low clouds, breezy to windy at times. there's not a roaring delta wind or anything but 60s 70s, 80s to, if you're far enough inland, not enough fog influence yet still near 90. i do think, though, the next couple of days will start to drop. then we'll really drop thursday, especially friday on the fourth. that will be a big cool down there james. >> thank you steve. well,

they're increasingly popular. more people have been turning to buy now pay later loans from apps like klarna. coming up at eight, we'll talk with economists about how a new rule going into effect today could soon boost or wreck your credit. plus. [music] skids only five years old and he's a piano prodigy, taking center stage from la to new york. he's captivating crowds with talent far beyond his years.

on the piano to stunning audiences on the biggest stages. a five year old prodigy is making waves across the country. he spoke to reporter christine devine about his journey. [music] >> at just five years old, los angeles native alec van khajadourian is enchanting audiences far beyond his years. [music] he began playing piano as soon as he could walk, punching keys with a joyful curiosity before turning one. his perfect pitch was already apparent. >> i like playing brand new pieces. i like feeling the music, all that kind of stuff. >> by age four, alec was performing bach's minuet and

beethoven's ode to joy at five. he claimed first prize at the charleston winter music competition, performing william gillick's flamenco. >> my favorite artist is beethoven. [music] >> this summer, alec takes center stage at two of the world's most prestigious venues, walt disney concert hall on july 1st. >> super excited. hello, everybody. i'm alec khatchadorian. welcome to the show. i'm going to play flamenco and arabesque. >> and later in july, new york's carnegie hall, one of the youngest ever, graced the storied stage. just last year, he was visiting carnegie hall. >> i went to watch a symphony and i loved it. then they invited me to carnegie hall because i won the competition. [music] >> alec van khatchadorian may be small in size, but with talent this big, he's already playing

among giants. >> that was christine devine reporting from our sister station in la. five year old alec will perform at walt disney concert hall tomorrow, and he will also perform at carnegie hall again next month on july 20th. not bad. if you need inspiration for a quick moment to solve a problem, a short nap might be the answer. i knew it was a good idea. a new study shows a 20 minute nap can spark sudden insight. 90 participants tried a challenging task without instructions, then napped while their brain waves were monitored. about 71% had a eureka moment after waking up from the nap. tonight, the giants face division rival arizona diamondbacks after perhaps their most disappointing week of baseball all season, san francisco was swept by the miami marlins last week, then lost two of three to the chicago white sox this weekend. those are two of the worst teams in baseball.

the bright spot for the giants yesterday was pitcher justin verlander. looking like his old self. he gave up just one run, but the bullpen and the offense struggled as the white sox came from behind to win 5 to 2. verlander's ten game winless streak to begin the season is the longest by a giants starting pitcher since at least 1901. san rafael could spend up to $500,000 to buy a lot for a new park. it's a 1.6 acre property on canal street. new park and bike bridge would connect the canal neighborhood to the montecito plaza and to san rafael high school. the county could give over $1 million for the project. the trust for public land is still looking for private donations to try to help close a funding gap. a skate park in san francisco's golden gate park has been renamed in honor of a young man who was part of it from the very beginning. the newly renamed zion skate park honors the late zion williams gain, seen here helping the ribbon cut the ribbon during the grand opening in 2022. as a teenager, he was

hit by a stray bullet that left him blind, but he continued to skateboard. zion died in his sleep in 2023, a few days before turning 21. the rec and park commission unanimously approved renaming the park in his honor. earlier this year, hayward got a taste of some world class opera over the weekend, right in the heart of downtown. [music] gasia liked the show. the hayward public library partnered with the san francisco opera to host two free outdoor performances of puccini's la boheme. crowds gathered saturday and sunday for the one hour abridged show, performed by san francisco opera artists on a shipping container turned mobile opera stage. [music] >> a key change holding off final approval for california's state budget. what the governor is asking leaders to do today in

return for his signature on that funding. amid amid enhanced immigration enforcement, it appears homeland security is not holding employers responsible for hiring people who are in the country illegally. what a review of dozens of raids shows. plus. >> i feel like san francisco is the epitome of togetherness when it comes to celebrating everyone. to be in one space and enjoy who we are. >> across san francisco, pride celebrations took a different tone this year from the personal to the political. hear from those who explain why it was so important to be there. >> from ktvu, fox two news. [music] this is mornings on two. >> starts out with a live look here in washington, d.c. this morning, where the senate has begun holding votes on a sweeping, republican crafted economic and domestic policy bill. with president trump's first year legislative agenda hanging in the balance. a live look at the lawmakers as they start their work. we'll bring you an update later this morning and throughout the day. we're

glad you're with us. i'm gasia mikaelian. >> and i'm james torres. today is monday, june 30th, the last day of june. as we enter the 8:00 hour, we'll bring in steve paulson in the weather center to talk our weather. >> a lot of low clouds, little cooler here, some higher clouds up above. you can see those on this on on the camera shot here. most of the higher clouds though i think have pushed offshore. but there will be some kind of flirting with us next couple of days here. 5060 on the temps already. livermore 63, palo alto, san jose low 60s although santa rosa in the fog 53. in the city stuck in the fog. you see the back end of the higher clouds. most of those have cleared out associated with that low, but some lightning strikes are the main cause of concern here. let's hope they stay offshore. but that's because there's concerns for not only the sierra northern sacramento valley. i'd say lake county. mendocino county north looks to be the line by june, that's for sure. coastal low clouds, a few high clouds, but mostly sunny inland. low clouds though, hugging the coast. so we'll go some 60s, 70s, 80s to upper 80s and a few near 90 degrees 81 on a monday, a bridge, a freeway.

where are we going, steve? >> you might see my shoes on the desk in a minute. here. we're going to the bay bridge. i didn't wear the jordans. >> you wear the shoes with the hole in the sole or the new ones. >> no, i have i have those hole in the sole ones are at home. >> good for you. >> i should have worn the jordans today. all right, let me let me go out there and you can see the traffic is. i mean, this is what steve and i were joking about, but it's real business here. it is light. and here it is just after 8:00, and i just knew it would happen. i think tomorrow is even going to be better as we get closer to the 4th of july. traffic patterns are going to change. so at the very least now i do see some crowding here on the san mateo bridge. at the very least, if you do have to work this week, you might get an unexpected break as you drive to work. i'm looking at the south bay. we do have some slow traffic there on some of the freeways, but again, it is a little better and especially on the peninsula we are looking pretty good. 802 let's get back to the headlines. >> thank you sal. happening today a push to support public

transit funding. the california budget includes more than $1 billion in funding and a $750 million loan for bay area transit. >> governor gavin newsom conditionally signed that budget last friday. ktvu amanda quintana live in san mateo this morning with what this might mean for local transit service. >> well, there are two pieces to this funding. one is the $1.1 billion. the other piece is a loan. so it's $750 million loan to bay area transit agencies. now, the idea is that this loan can hopefully help these agencies survive. it could hold them over for a little bit before voters weigh a tax measure next year. now, simply put, bus, rail and ferry systems need more money. with ridership down and covid emergency funds running out. bay area transit agencies like bart, ac transit, caltrain and muni are struggling. many of them are dealing with millions of dollars in deficits, and this could lead to services being slashed to avoid even larger deficits. so the current state budget could

be the temporary relief they need to survive until a 2026 ballot measure can provide more long term funding. senator scott wiener is one of the authors of the bill to add that ballot measure. >> we need to be very clear that if we do nothing, there will be massive, massive service cuts. bart will basically collapse. muni will cut service by as much as 50%. so elimination of half of all community service, ac transit, caltrain, these systems will really start unraveling. >> there is a press conference that's going to happen here in the next hour here in san mateo, with leaders who are very excited about this funding. they hope that this is good news for bay area transit agencies in this can really help them survive in the short term until hopefully a ballot measure next year. live in san mateo amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news.

>> amanda thank you. 804 here, a new report accuses federal immigration agents of failing to cite employers that hire people who are in the country illegally. the washington post reports homeland security operations have largely targeted migrants rather than their employers. the post reviewed dozens of immigration and customs enforcement operations and found one company that was charged for hiring suspected undocumented workers. there are also questions about whether immigration officers are violating constitutional rights. several businesses say during enforcement, officers did not show warrants even when asked. >> new warnings are being raised about records access by the so-called department of government efficiency that could be used to benefit elon musk's businesses. according to the washington post, the agency has access documents from at least seven different federal departments that contain trade secrets. nonpublic details about government contracts and sensitive regulatory information. other business leaders are worried tesla ceo elon musk could have saved the

sensitive data for personal use. musk has since stepped down from his role in the trump administration. this weekend's massive pride parade and celebration in san francisco had a markedly different tone than in past years. >> attendees noted recent attacks on the lgbtq community, including recent court decisions to cut gender affirming care for transgender youth. others protested federal cuts to lgbtq nonprofits and programs. just last week, san francisco police arrested a 19 year old for vandalizing the pink triangle at twin peaks. >> it's a heartbreaking because you see, like the lack of knowledge about what that stands for. it matters that we show up in numbers. it it shows the people that don't really dare come out and walk around, yet it shows them that it's safe. >> through the weekend, there was a rainbow laser display shining for miles over market street, creating the largest pride flag image in the world. >> resistance was one of the main themes of this year's pride celebrations in downtown san

francisco. the 55th annual san francisco pride parade is the largest pride parade in the world. this year's theme was queer joy is resistance. people not from just across the bay area, but around the world enjoy the colorful floats, elaborate costumes, and all the live performers. attendees told us why they say pride is important to them. >> pride ourselves. nobody else will. so we celebrate ourselves. >> i brought my daughter. it's her birthday 16 so letting her know that it's okay to be different and embrace herself. >> i want to send it out across america, the rest of america to let us know. see what we do, how we do it with pride. >> one woman told us she's attended every pride parade since the tradition first began. mayor daniel lurie also marched in the parade. it's his first since becoming mayor of san francisco. >> i. >> time is 807, and right now we do see some pretty good conditions. let's go right to the peninsula and want to let you know that traffic is doing

pretty well on highway 101 this morning as you drive up past mountain view. a lot of people are wondering about the commute in the silicon valley. i'm here to tell you that it is doing very well. there have been no major issues. you can see traffic is going to be moving along well. i do see some slowing here on 87 because there's a crash near curtner and that's kind of there's an easy way to get around that. but i don't want you to be surprised by that because the rest of the freeways are looking good. let's go to the east bay now. highway 24 is moving along very well. as you drive over to the tunnel. no major issues here. it looks pretty good through the tunnel. let's go to the bay bridge. you're going to be okay. look at the tv. oh my goodness. where did all the backup go? it's great. right? this is what we're going to see this week i think. here it is monday and 4th of july is friday. you get the drill, right? it was a busy on that san mateo bridge. i see something out there. you can see

we're kind of pulling back there. there's something in the left lane and shoulder and that's causing a slowdown on the bridge. so give yourself a little bit of extra time as you drive across that bridge. dumbarton bridge might be an alternate for you. traffic is getting lighter on 880 808. let's get right back to the desk. >> i would really want him to be home when our son is born. >> a heartfelt plea by a california woman whose husband, detained by immigration agents while she says the pastor who once had a troubled past, deserves to be released. >> and your buy now, pay later loans are about to show up on your credit report. we'll talk with an economist about the major change that could impact

idaho authorities say a suspected gunman who ambushed firefighters is now dead. a sniper shot and killed two firefighters and wounded another as crews responded to a brush fire near coeur d'alene, idaho, in the northwestern part of the state. a shelter in place lasted through sunday until a swat unit discovered the body of a man believed to be the shooter. we're waiting to learn the identity of the dead suspected shooter, and the u.s. senate is

beginning debate on president trump's spending measure. here's a live look inside capitol hill at the senate floor. senators can offer as many amendments as they want. during this marathon session, republicans are hoping to pass the legislation and send it to president trump by independence day. the bill includes massive tax cuts as well as cuts to health services and food stamps. >> 813 more people, especially members of gen z, are increasingly turning to easy payment plans at checkout, such as klarna, afterpay and affirm. but starting this fall, the use of those buy now, pay later terms could affect your credit score for the first time. let's get some insight by turning to matt schulz, chief consumer finance analyst at lendingtree. thanks for being with us, matt. >> thanks for having me. >> of course. so about 10% of all gen z and millennials have taken advantage of buy now, pay later. how will they be factored into someone's fico score? >> well, for the first time, when you make on time payments

on those buy now, pay later loans the same way you would with a car payment or a mortgage payment or a credit card payment. those on time payments for buy now, pay later loans are going to start being factored into some credit scoring formulas with fico, which is the biggest credit scoring company in the states. and it's going to be a slow rollout because not all lenders use the same most updated credit scoring formula. so it may take a while before we see the full effect of this, but it's a significant change for sure. >> buy now, pay later has been around for a while. it only now is going to be counted. is this sort of a catching up to the way we use and spend money? >> very much so. the fact that buy now, pay later hasn't been part of credit scoring formulas to this point means that there is a big blind spot when it

comes to credit scoring and people's actual financial situation. and it's a significant thing for consumers because it means that the good that they do isn't necessarily being counted. but it's also a really big deal for lenders because lenders aren't getting the truest view of just how risky or safe a borrower is. if you don't include buy now, pay later. >> do you know what percentage of people who use buy now, pay later? stick to the terms. don't pay any interest or penalties versus the other group that that really gets caught. >> according to our latest reported lending tree, about 40% of buy now, pay later users paid late in the past year. and that's a really big number. and about three fourths of those were only late by about a week or so. so it's not late enough

where it would impact your credit score or appear on a credit report once once credit scoring formulas start including this stuff, but it is late enough where you would incur a late fee, and that's a significant thing. >> so for people who use buy now, pay later, and feel like this is someone coming into the house and opening the closet doors, whereas they used to just kind of look out at the living room and say, okay, it's clean. what should those people do? >> well, it's just important to know yourself when it comes to buy now, pay later, because these are really appealing because in part they're easier to get and they're often interest free, but because it's really easy to get, it can be pretty easy to get out over your skis a little bit and overspend and get yourself into some trouble. so just make sure you understand what you're getting into and you're confident in your ability to pay that loan

off before you apply. >> all right. good advice, matt schulz. thank you for your time this morning. chief consumer finance analyst at lendingtree. thank you. all right. we've been asking you at home, what are you doing or not doing when it comes to buy now, pay later. have you considered using one? we see the largest group. 65% say nope. you don't want the debt. 29% say yes. you've used it before. 6% say you've turned to buy now, pay later, but only in a pinch. let us know what you're doing by scanning that qr code at the top right of the screen. you can also head out to ktvu.com. >> time now is 817, and we have a nice surprise for you on a monday. if you waited a little later to get on the road, the bay bridge looks pretty good. if you're driving to san francisco, there is still a little bit of a backup at the metering lights, but it's definitely lighter than it would be on a monday. usually at this time we'd be backed up solid to the maze. and that's taken. it's taken saving you 20 30 minutes here. san mateo bridge also looks good. i see. whatever it is. it looks like a stalled vehicle. people were slowing down past it. maybe they

are a little bit, but traffic is still moving. a lot of these commutes are still doing okay. even the south bay commute. i'm just kind of looking around and it's definitely lighter. you'll see some slowdowns, but they're just not as deep as they usually are. at 817. let's go to steve. >> sal. thank you kindly, sir. well, we had a band of high clouds over us. i think most of them are done. there might be a few hanging around, but it's more about the fog now which you really couldn't see earlier. but now the clouds are thinning out, so the low clouds making a little bit bigger push. not a massive coverage, but there's more fog than we've seen in a while moving inland there, especially petaluma, santa rosa, over san pablo bay as well. so there's more pockets 6452 for the city. what's average 6754. so another day below this june will definitely go down as cooler than average for sure. 93 the record high 1996 record rainfall 0.02 1997. that was probably drizzle, but for the high temperature well below the average coming in 63.1, the low 52.2, both below 24 days, with

highs in the 60s, five days with highs in the 50s and 170. that was on friday. was that the warmest temp so far? no. there was an 82 in may, but for june there was only one day of 70. and that was last friday. santa rosa, livermore, palo alto, san jose arrows are all down today. 80 still warm to hot though, for if you're well inland. but most locations are taking that little dip now associated with that low. look at all the lightning strikes offshore. that's where we hope they stay. stay offshore. but because they're there, at least in the vicinity, that's why there's red flag concerns today and tomorrow. possible lightning again these would probably be dry systems. there's just too much dry air. but the lightning can cause issues. northern sacramento valley also the motherlode i would think including the sierra as well. especially we get to tuesday and wednesday in mendocino county. lake county 5060 on the temps, the inland areas beginning to head them up and move them on out. you can see the big fog bank though in the higher clouds going east to west, fog going west to east, a lot of fog, low clouds on the coast, san mateo coast down to

santa cruz and even monterey. 59 bookends truckee, south lake tahoe, already 75, in reno, carson city 72. plenty of activity offshore. that's let's keep it out there. we don't want it over us, that's for sure. but something to watch next couple of days until that low gets bumped out of here, which will be on wednesday, from a system which will usher in a pretty significant cooling trend. but for today, more morning fog, that's for sure. near 90 for some inland but lightning possible to the north. and you can see it kind of lights up here. northern sacramento valley also over south lake tahoe markleeville this will be going forward into the week, middle of the week to the end of the week. by june, that boy went fast and the coastal low clouds, a few high clouds, but mostly sunny inland. partly cloudy by the coast. anywhere from 6070 to 80s to near 90 on some. i think after today there will start a slow turn down and really start to cool down. thursday and especially on friday the fourth. >> steve thank you. >> 820. >> coming up, spotify's. >> discover weekly feature is celebrating ten years this morning how the music platform is marking the milestone and how

heartfelt plea this morning for the release of her husband, a father of two, with a third on the way. >> oh, you know what? let me pick this one up, because i think your microphone, there's a button that needs to be pushed somewhere. canada was born in the former soviet union, recently detained by immigration agents during a routine immigration check in. he has a past, though he spent 13 years in prison, including a punishment for armed robbery. since 2009, he's been on supervised visits, and every year he's been allowed to stay. that is, until now. >> my husband and i, we understand that this is this is just a consequence of his past. you know, when he was making when he made those bad choices in his past. the he wasn't who he is today. >> yekaterina says her husband

tax bill on the finish line this morning. will it pass the senate as the gop grasps for support? and what it would mean for your wallet? [music] vallejo unified marking a major comeback today with the return of local decision making means for teachers and students. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> bottom of the 8:00 hour here. welcome back to mornings on two i'm james torres. >> good morning. i'm gasia mikaelian. it is monday, june 30th. some of us love the heat we had yesterday. others are eager for the cool down. steve paulson this has been a something for anyone. sort of a pattern. >> no doubt about it here. and you can throw in some higher clouds into the mix as well. there have been numerous lightning strikes offshore, thank goodness. but something to keep an eye on, at least for the next 36 hours or so. but there's plenty of low clouds there. looks like the higher clouds are about done. we're under lots of

sunshine now, but that's a bigger fog bank than we've seen in a while. so either sun, maybe a few lingering high clouds, but mainly low clouds. look at all those lightning strikes. but again, they're offshore associated with that low which is tapped into moisture. but because there's some to the north and also east and concern for red flag warning for the next couple of days. but this is it for june. coastal low clouds, a few high clouds. mainly sunny inland, but that coastal low cloud deck is going to cool down many. so we'll go 60 70s to low and upper 80s for a few. all righty. sounds here all sudden. got quiet. is that still the case or somewhere else you want to go? >> yeah. it's quiet. we do have some pretty good looking commutes out there right now. the bay bridge is number one. look how light it is. although there is some more slow traffic at the metering lights, but it's pretty light. there have been no major issues. i want to mention that if you are driving on the golden gate bridge, that looks pretty good. also, if you're driving in san francisco, you haven't talked a lot about it because it's been a little lighter than usual. there's some slowing on northbound 101, but the peninsula looks pretty nice.

831. let's get back to the headlines. >> sal castaneda. thank you. now to that developing news out of capitol hill, where this morning the senate has began a marathon voting session on president trump's tax cut and spending bill. the bill narrowly clearing a procedural vote late saturday on a 51 to 49 count. debate is growing as democrats hope to stall the bill out. issues voiced include tax cuts, trimming of medicaid money for states and work requirements for food benefit eligibility. for insight on what lies ahead for the local economy if the gop tax bill passes today, we're joined by brett ryan, senior u.s. economist at deutsche bank. mr. ryan, thank you so much for being with us this morning. >> great. thanks for having me. >> what's the reality that this bill actually meets its 4th of july deadline? that's when president trump says he wants to have it on his desk and signed. >> yeah, i think it seems that they have a decent chance. it will depend, i think, on on what the deficit hawks in the house want to do or, you know, if they have issues with the senate

bill. so i would give it a 50, 50, 50 shot either way. i mean, it's going to pass, you know, either this week or, you know, a few weeks after the july 4th recess. >> what kind of amendments do you think republicans will agree on with that? democrats may suggest? >> not very many in terms of what democrats are suggesting. i think it's going to be a very much a partizan affair in terms of a party line vote, and it's going to be very tight. as such. >> we see amy klobuchar right now on the senate floor. we know democrats are going to try to stall the bill out. what do you expect will come from democratic party? what will they say? and ultimately, what is their goal? do they want to kill this bill? >> well, they can't kill the bill. the reconciliation process makes it a simple majority. so their point is going to be to try to highlight the distribution, the distributional analysis of the tax bill and claim that this is, you know,

tax cuts for, for the top income quintiles that are funded by cuts to medicaid and other programs for the lower income folks. >> mr. ryan, what's what's this going to do to people like you and me and our wallets and our finances? what is it that some of these democrats are worried about? and what is it that these republicans are trying to tout? >> yeah, i think one of the things that has been a big issue is the salt cap increase and the salt cap was raised to 40,000 in the senate bill after, you know, haranguing in the house. however, it expires in 2029. so it's a temporary raise that then goes back to 10,000. so for high tax states such as california and new york in new york, it's a temporary positive for individuals. but that positive does expire within the next 4 or 5 years.

>> i want to talk about the vote count here, because republicans can only stand to lose about three votes to make sure this passes through, and that's still including a tie breaking vote from vice president jd vance. thom tillis, the gop senator from north carolina, said republicans are about to make a mistake. he joined rand paul, another republican, voting against advancing this bill. what kind of message do these two republicans send? and is it significant enough to prevent this bill from moving forward? >> it's not significant enough to prevent the bill from moving forward. i think those are two that we're always, you know, counted, counted to be noes. and, you know, from rand paul's perspective, it's very it's deficit issues. you know, you have of the 1.3 trillion in spending cuts, you have 1 trillion of that coming in 2029 and beyond. so it's debatable whether whether they ever happened. i mean, this is a bill that sets up the tax cuts are

loaded up front. the spending cuts are loaded up in the back of the bill. and that calls into question whether you're ever going to see, you know, reasonable fiscal reforms here to rein in deficits. >> all right. brett ryan, senior u.s. economist at deutsche bank, thank you so much for having the conversation with us this morning. >> cheers. >> thank you. thank you. >> 836 your president trump spending bill is expected to be among the topics discussed at a town hall meeting today, hosted by east bay congressman mark desaulnier. we'll also touch on the situation in the middle east and recent supreme court decisions. desaulnier has been critical of president trump's unilateral decision to launch attacks on iran and the way the administration informed congress. the town hall in antioch is set for tonight at 630. new this morning, the trump administration accuses harvard university of failing to protect its jewish students from harassment. the government is now threatening to pull all funding from the school if corrective measures aren't taken. a federal task force sent a letter to harvard today concluding the university didn't

protect jewish students during campus wide protests. harvard has not commented on this latest charge. >> 836 your time idaho authorities say a suspected gunman who ambushed firefighters is now dead. a sniper shot and killed two firefighters and wounded another as crews responded to a brush fire near the northwestern part of idaho. this attack drew 300 local, state and federal law enforcement officers. a shelter in place lasted through sunday until a swat unit discovered the body of a man believed to be a shooter. police found a gun near that body. >> we do believe that the that the suspect started the fire, and we do believe that it was an ambush. and it was intentional. and yeah, we do believe that he started it, and it was totally intentional. what he did. >> the wounded firefighter needed emergency surgery and remains in the hospital this morning. we're waiting to learn the identity of the dead

suspected shooter. firefighters and law enforcement from across the region held a procession for the two firefighters killed in the ambush. that procession crossed state lines from idaho to spokane, washington, where a medical examiner will perform autopsies. the names of the firefighters have not yet been released. >> we're learning more about the survivors of a recent deadly boating incident in lake tahoe. the survivors have been identified as julie lindsey and amy fritz. a mother and daughter visiting the area from new york. investigators say they were wearing life vests and were able to make it to shore. the group was celebrating a birthday on june 21st, when tall waves from a sudden storm capsized their boat. eight people died on the lake. investigators have yet to say if those who died were wearing life vests. >> all right, here we go again. oakland airport has a new name, and this time the port says it's putting oakland first. the airport announced the new name is the oakland san francisco bay airport. last year, a judge

blocked the airport from changing its name to san francisco bay oakland international airport. the airport says including san francisco bay in the name will help more passengers, airlines and routes. we ran the new name by some passengers who said they prefer oakland's original name, and they say the proposals are just confusing. >> oakland. it's not san francisco. yeah, san francisco, san francisco, but this is oakland, so we should call it the oakland airport. >> legally speaking, the issue is that san francisco is still prominent. it's the second part. it's after it comes after oakland, but it's still there, and it's still confusing for a consumer. when they see oakland, san francisco. >> the port of oakland, which manages the airport, will first vote on whether to adopt the name change. that meeting is set for july 10th. >> happening today, vallejo city unified school district is fully regaining control. local control, that is, after being under state receivership for 20 years. the school district will hold a news conference today to discuss challenges it overcame and what lies ahead. back in

2004, the school district experienced a financial collapse, needed a $60 million emergency loan to stay operational, and entered state receivership last year. the district fully paid off that loan. 840 here for some, the 4th of july weekend means a day on the water. even those who are strong swimmers, though, can suffer cold water shock or drown in fast moving waters. doctors say there should be a dedicated adult watching young children around the ocean, lakes and rivers. >> children can drown in less than two inches of water, young children in particular. so you want to make sure that as a parent or caregiver, you're being diligent to keep an eye on your children. if you're going to be playing with the water or around water, have a water watcher. so an adult who's designated to keep an eye on the kids, and if you're not going to be around the water or children are not supposed to be there, make sure that you've got a locked gate that latches. the academy of pediatrics recommends swim lessons for children as soon as a family is able, as early as age one. in some cases,

it also urges layers of protection, such as supervision, proper life jackets, and cpr trained adults. >> all right, time now. 840 a really beautifully nice warm weekend this past weekend, but the 4th of july might be a little cooler, steve. >> a lot cooler the way it's looking. that's the way everything is shaping up right now. but over the weekend. yeah. end of june heat here. kicked in for the inland areas. wasn't too bad on the coast, but at least they had sunshine. concord going back to thursday 87 then was all 90, friday 95, saturday 97 and sunday was 95. going about 88. today should ease back 88 to near 90. santa rosa down 5 to 80, livermore 93 to 90, palo alto down to 80. in san jose from 82 to 86 8452. in the city, another day where we're below on both. so june will go down as a cool month below average for sure. 93 the 1996 record high of 47, 1908. the record low had a lot of bands of high clouds. they've pushed off. there's lots of thunderstorm activity or lightning strikes well out in the pacific, but i think we're about done with the higher

clouds for now. doesn't mean some couldn't pop up a little later. it's more about the fog bank now. and there you can see all those lightning boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. so that's why there's concerns for red flag warnings for north northern lake county. i'd say mendocino county, northern sacramento valley, northeast california, sacramento, northern sacramento valley to the motherlode. i would include tahoe, if not today for sure. tuesday, wednesday and that low gets kicked out. it will start to impact the sierra more 5060 on your temps here up in the mountains 59 truckee south lake tahoe reno is already 75. look at all that activity but keep it offshore. we don't want it here, but if it was over us, we'd have a lot more to talk about. for right now we don't, but that low could easily send in some bands of high and mid-level clouds. next couple of days it will kind of kind of wobble a little bit over into san joaquin valley, then get kicked out on late wednesday into thursday as another low comes in. this one will be colder though. morning low clouds near 90 inland for some more upper 80s than mid 90s though, and some lightning to the west and also to the north. so some of that activity could

easily pop up next couple of days. northern sacramento valley northeast and also around the sierra. just keep in mind if that's where you're heading for your holiday, we'll say goodbye to june. this is it. the coastal low clouds, a few high clouds. most of those are gone. mostly sunny inland. low clouds near the coast 60, 70, 80. upper 80s to near 90 degrees. really? i think we kind of peak it out today. slow cooling into wednesday and then much cooler thursday. friday. you guys. >> all right? for some it may soon become a little harder, maybe more expensive to get weight loss medications. the changes to in rance

more than $1 billion in funding and a $750 million loan for bay area transit. governor newsom conditionally signed the budget on friday. it will be valid if housing legislation passes today. next on the nine here. ktvu amanda quintana updates the effect it will have on local transit service and why some say the money is desperately needed. >> happening today, 12 jurors will start deliberating in the sex trafficking trial of music mogul sean diddy combs. the panel is made up of eight men and four women. the jury heard closing arguments last thursday and a final rebuttal from defense friday. the group was also allowed to go home for the weekend instead of being sequestered. in all, 34

witnesses testified, and combs chose not to testify. his lawyers also didn't call any witnesses for the defense's case. >> workers at children's hospital oakland are back at work this morning, ending their strike. the union says it decided to return to work after a federal judge denied a request for an injunction that would have stopped ucsf from moving forward with a plan to merge children's hospital workers to other ucsf departments. the union is now trying to get a judge to order arbitration in this labor dispute. >> happening today, california lawmakers plan to vote on a bill aimed at speeding up housing construction. the proposal would exempt many types of urban development projects from review under the california environmental quality act, or sequa. some lawmakers argue ceqa has been used to derail housing projects. even the state's high speed rail project. governor gavin newsom says his signature of the state budget will be revoked if the bill isn't passed. the state budget, signed by the governor over the weekend cuts taxes for vets, completely, funds free school meals and a

lot more. >> the city of berkeley now has the green light to clear a homeless encampment at ohlone park. a federal judge declined an effort by homeless advocates to stop the sweep, but ruled the city has to give three days notice before it happens. the city was planning on clearing the encampment before the lawsuit. park neighbors have reported health and safety concerns involving drug use and violent threats. the encampment grew in april after the closure of another encampment at civic center park. city leaders have not announced a timeline for the sweep. >> a health alert. talk to you about an increasing number of health insurance companies are changing coverage for gop one. weight loss medications as of july 1st, cvs caremark is no longer covering eli lilly's step down for its 100 million members. instead, it will shift coverage to the drug wegovy. earlier this year, medicare officials also said the program would not proceed with the proposal initiated by the biden administration to cover wegovy and for its beneficiaries. but experts say if you don't qualify

for coverage, there may be ways to use the medications without the hefty price tag. >> what's really important to understand is are you covered for weight loss medication on your insurance for glp one, or are you not? if you are covered, then then you're relatively lucky because only about 30% of companies do cover. in that case, you want to make sure you understand which drugs are covered at how much, and potentially you also want to look at. are there discount cards or coupons from the manufacturer to help you pay your share or the co-pay amount? >> according to a survey by the kaiser family foundation, around 6% of american adults are currently prescribed glp one medications for either weight loss or diabetes. >> older generations who witnessed the debilitating effects of infectious diseases, such as rubella and polio, are trying to warn young people against vaccine hesitancy. diseases such as measles and whooping cough are making a comeback due to a drop in immunization rates. this year. there have been more than 1200

measles cases in the united states, more than the last five years combined, according to the cdc. one woman has been caring for her daughter after she fell ill with rubella years ago. while there's now a vaccination against rubella, it didn't exist when her daughter was born. >> know what can happen, you know, and i just don't want anybody else to go through this. as time went on, she had added a diabetes, glaucoma. you add in autistic behaviors. >> public health experts are urging young parents to give their children the mmr shot, in particular, as it helps prevent measles, mumps and rubella. >> tonight, the san francisco giants face division rival arizona diamondbacks after perhaps their most disappointing week of baseball of the season. san francisco was swept by the miami marlins and then lost two of three to the chicago white sox. those are two of the worst teams in baseball. the bright spot for the giants yesterday was pitcher justin verlander.

looking like his old self. he gave up just one run, but the bullpen and the offense struggled as the white sox came from behind to win it 5 to 2. >> as far as justin went, i thought really good after the first couple innings. you know, there were some hard contact and gave up a run and then, you know, cruised after that. gave us six good position to get get him a win. >> i don't know. just trying to put myself in position for wins. you know that's all you can do. >> every time the giants kind of. >> verlander's 13 game winless streak to begin the season is the longest by giants starting pitcher since at least 1901. >> the alice b toklas lgbtq democratic club held its annual pride breakfast at the hyatt embarcadero ballroom. organizers say every year the event supports the year round work they do, and helps bring the city together for the largest political pride event in the country. the club is the nation's oldest queer democratic club was founded in the 70s, right after the stonewall uprising in new york. >> not a party, it is a protest. and so it's a celebration of

just the fight. thinking back on stonewall, thinking back on our trans brothers and sisters who have lifted us up. it's important to just stay grounded. >> the organization says it works to transform politics at the local, state and national level by identifying and electing candidates who support their cause. >> it's 851 actually. now it's 852. and if you look at the traffic at 852, you will see that it's cleared up completely at the bay bridge. i like what i see there. also, this mateo bridge is looking much better. so this has all been a pretty good thing. even the south bay commute is better now. we had some earlier problems. those have cleared up and there is some slow traffic. it's not completely light. southbound 880, right near stevenson. there's a crash and that had been a good commute. so it's important to note that all of a sudden what had been pretty light is now busy approaching that crash. it's actually closer to auto mall. but now, you know, southbound 680 is pretty good.

and if you can get the free on the freeway somehow, if you get on the freeway in milpitas and bypass fremont, you'll be better off. 852 let's go back to steve with today's weather. >> so thank you kindly, sir. if you're just waking up your high clouds. we had some high clouds. yes we did. they have now pushed off. there's a lot of lightning strikes on numerous lightning strikes offshore as well. boom boom, boom boom. look at all that. but thankfully it's gone well out in the ocean, out in the pacific there. but something to keep an eye on next couple of days. otherwise, front and center is our big fog bank. and that's going to cool many locations down. so 5060 on your temps at livermore already 67 but still stuck at 53. santa rosa and the city. and it's all associated with that low to the west southwest. and it will kind of meander around next couple of days, stay just south of us and then get bumped in probably late wednesday for sure by thursday, but a colder system. but because of that system, there are some fire concerns, especially north and east. the next couple of days, coastal low clouds, a few high clouds. but already there's already a lot of sun. if you

don't have that low cloud deck and temperatures, they'll be in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s on this panel. you guys. >> steve paulson. >> thank you. [music] >> san jose's housing market isn't just expensive. a new report finds it's nearly untouchable when you join us on the nine. why earning six figures a year just isn't enough, and why you'll still likely be priced out.
