i'm orlando and i'm living with hiv. i don't have to worry about daily hiv pills because i switched to every-other-month cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. it's two injections from a healthcare provider. now when i have people over, hiv pills aren't on my mind. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients, or if you're taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions, post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments.
12:12 pm
it feels good to just live in the moment. with every-other-month cabenuva, i'm good to go. ask your doctor about cabenuva today.

12:14 pm
officials say hundreds of hotel rooms and vacation rentals are becoming available for those in need of housing. but more than a week after the fires broke out, folks here say they're frustrated with the speed of the government's response. since the frustration lies with our government, not we've always had to fight what we had before over here. you know, i don't know why, because we made spring so much money as the island tries to make sense of the devastation, developers have been reportedly contacting fire victims, asking to buy their damaged properties. hawaii governor josh green says he's considering a moratorium on land sales. i will not be allowing anyone to build or rezone or do anything of that sort if they've taken advantage of anyone here. rebuilding will be for our local people. president biden will travel to maui on monday to meet with first responders and survivors on the island of maui. max gordon, ktvu fox two news. we'll move now to a developing story out of siskiyou county where a wildfire is spreading through national forest land. the head fire started yesterday . it's one of about a dozen
12:15 pm
fires sparkedays from lightning strikes in the klamath national head fire is burning west of yreka near the oregon boundary evacuation orders and warnings are in place for neighboring communities. so far, the fires burned between 3 and 4000 acres. no word yet on any containment. and as we see those images now, we should know that we are dealing with some hot weather here across the bay area, parts of the bay area. burt gonzalez here with more on that. hey, roberta. hi there, andre. and one thing that we are certainly doing here in the weather central area is we are keeping an eye out on the future forecast. so long range computer forecast because while today we will bank between 71 degrees and pacifica to 100 degrees inland, it's not just the heat. sure when the heat goes up, the humidity generally goes down. but the humidity is with us today. and there's more tropical moisture heading this way with the potential of dry lightning. we'll get to that. but right now, we do have some fog. it continues to linger in around the golden gate bridge right there, the richmond district. and certainly it is shocked in
12:16 pm
at the sunset district, we pull on out, we take a look pacifica, you have hit and miss areas of clouds and that is why we are forecasting 71 degrees right there today at the beaches. we do see the fog right now. it is inundating the john daly boulevard area. but you do have some sunshine at this hour, as does south san francisco. and also pedro valley. now, this is that fog that was verified on our computer imagery. and it's actually really beautiful, isn't it? it will retract somewhat a little bit. but this is a little finger of fog over the mount tamalpais area. and also trying to sift in to sausalito and tiburon. right now, temperatures back from 61 degrees at the bolinas fire station to 97 degrees in middletown, 82 degrees in sonoma. so it's relatively on the pleasant side at this hour. the only thing is these temperatures will continue to climb and it's in the high 70s now around america canyon, east bay numbers this is where the heat has been on. we're
12:17 pm
talking 92 degrees at this hour in alamo, going up to a high of 99 degrees. it is 78 degrees. it is pleasant in panola and 80 in castro valley. check out these numbers. saratoga at 83, 85 in morgan hill and mid 80s and san jose when the average high this time of the year is 81 degrees. there meanwhile, 79 degrees in san mateo. foster city, pretty similar conditions and 80s will become right now around, let's say, stanford all the way to palo alto. these temperatures are pretty close to where we were this time yesterday, except we're on our way to a warmer day in fairfield. five degrees hotter at this hour there. otherwise, two degrees warmer in half moon bay. and that's because the fog has been thinning out there. the winds are now picking up. they've been relatively flat this morning. right now under 15mph throughout the east bay and north bay. we do have a bit of a breeze in throughout that san bruno gap at sfo at 15mph, under five in san jose. these winds will increase
12:18 pm
15 to 20 late day. so here is our satellite imagery. we have the spiral action right here, counter clockwise position. that is an area of low pressure that has been bringing with it some of the subtropical moisture. but this is the monsoonal moisture we have been laying eyes on. and as it lifts up towards the high sierra, we will have those thunderstorms pop during the afternoon hours. so again, today, never mind that right there. we do have more warm weather and muggy conditions for you. temperature wise, we're talking about ten degrees warmer in throughout the east bay. now, this satellite imagery really does detect the plume of moisture that continues to pick up. but what this is doing is watch the clock, okay? that clock does indicate that by next monday, we will have that subtropical moisture lifting up through southern california towards monterey and fresno with this is the remnants of what will once be a hurricane. right now, it's a tropical storm. its name is hillary. it's really gathering a lot of strength of
12:19 pm
momentum because that's out towards some warmer waters out towards the pacific. but once it enters our waters, it's going to begin to downsize and become the remnants of. now, computer models are all in disagreement right now. it will change. but right now at this stage, where it should be, looks like we could have some rain. and our forecast for the beginning of next week. again, this is something that bears watching. it'll be pretty much with us all the way from monday throu that kind of subtropical moisture, you also get that dry lightning . so our awareness should be heightened for the beginning of next week. and also again, this is going to change under oddly. but right now, computer models do suggest we could see up to 6/10 of an inch of rain between monday and wednesday in santa rosa over two inches during that period. and the greater lake tahoe area, again, we're going to keep a very watchful eye on that. now, this is the graphic i wanted to get to. this one does
12:20 pm
indicate it again, it is heating up again today with the muggy conditions just not as hot and as humid as it was yesterday. now, meanwhile, tonight, with that blanket of cloud cover, we will enjoy temperatures into the mid 50s and few 60s, except for that antioch area overnight low an uncomfortable 78 degrees and we will have the clouds building at the coast. today's daytime high temperatures topping off anywhere. well, we're going to up those temperatures along the coast to 100 degrees in antioch . i got to tell you, when you see that 99 degrees in livermore , somebody's backyard like mine is about 102 and 103 degrees. so it depends upon the amount of asphalt and concrete you but we will continue to monitor those temperatures and especially hillary. that's brewing and growing right now out over the pacific ocean. we got a lot of activity happening in our oceans, both the atlantic and the pacific, to stage hurricane season is really an understatement. at this time. yeah. all right. the weather out

12:48 pm
degrees mid 80s in san jose when typically at this time of the year at 81 and it is 81 degrees in santa rosa. these temperatures are riding for the most part warmer than yesterday, except right there around the east shore of the central bay and two degrees warmer in san jose through the rose garden district. the winds are increasing, will blow today, 10 to 15. occasional gusts to 20 during the afternoon hours. there you have it right there. and througut bruno gap at sfo, 15 mile per hour wind. okay lot on. first off. yes, it's still muggy today, but not as humid as it has been in the past couple of days. and we have that pesky area of low pressure just spinning its wheels right califd see it right. all this monsoonal moisture continues to fuel from the south up in a northeasterly direction. so let's see if the tahoe air is going to pick up more thunder bumpers today. and it appears as if it will by 5 or 6:00. some sporadic showers in the forecast, a potential of dry
12:49 pm
lightning as well. and as this fuels out of the area, by thursday, some drier air mass works its way into the bay area, as well as the tahoe region. so let's chances of the higher humidity and also the dry lightning. but this is what you're going to be hearing a lot about this right now is tropical storm hillary. it has been upgraded. it developed yesterday day. and right now, our computer models watch this. they suggest that as hillary skims across mexico on the outer waters and lifts itself up towards the colder waters off the california coast, it wants to bring some of its remnants, its moisture, into the bay area. so not so much this week, not so much over the weekend, except for southern california. now this will probably change its track by monday, but nonetheless, right now, our computer models are bringing some precipitation into monterey, the bay area. all the way. monday, tuesday and into your wednesday. and if the
12:50 pm
computer models are correct, it's going to dump some hefty totals of rain in the bay area. that's right. but with it comes the risk of dry lightning and thunderstorm activity. so that's why you're going to hear a lot about it. boy, these numbers continue to change an inch and a half of rain between monday and wednesday. it'll change, but we will be here to keep you updated. here you go. with tonight's overnight low temperatures with partly cloudy skies numbers. but i've been just kicking off all the blankets. how about you? 50s and low 60s? how about 70? that's an overnight low in antioch. meanwhile, today's highs back in between a very comfortable, refreshing 71 in pacifica, 70 in san francisco to the high 80s to the north, 100 to the east, 990 to the south, 93 a morgan hill. and in gilroy. but check this out. here is your extended forecast. we will begin that cooldown again tomorrow. seasonal day for your friday. then we inch it back up on saturday, only to go back down on sunday and then more humid
