wildfire. in addition to the hot weather, increased fire, danger pg and e has warned that in the days ahead, public safety power shut-offs or psps is a possible for over 10,000 customers. >> across northern california, including around 100 customers in the lake, napa and sonoma counties. now, in addition to the hot weather and the fire danger of the bay area, air quality management district has also issued a spare the air alert for tuesday. >> but for now in the east bay, charles clifford kron, 4 news. >> all right. talking the looking live now at downtown san francisco in at least at the moment, looks a pretty good. >> kron 4 meteorologist kyla grogan with us here in the studio. take a look at it is not only going to be triple digit heat. we've already hit today. conquered right now at 100 degrees. you can see the temperatures very close to it. there. >> in antioch, sitting at 99 were 96 in santa rosa, just 90 down in san jose. just 90 because it's not, you know, triple digit heat, but

obviously we're very warm today and tomorrow that is just going to be increasing as high pressure continues to build this ridge, this dome of heat. >> that will start sliding towards us here in the bay area. and as that happens, these temperatures will just go up up up the marine layer compresses, which are already really seeing today. and that means that we can heat up very quickly. so as we take a look at this, you can see that we do have an excessive heat warning for inland communities. that's all the areas that you see in the hot pink there. and that goes into effect as we get into 11:00am tomorrow. and then for san francisco, we have a heat advisory in areas that are just facing the bay. here now for san francisco goes through wednesday for the rest. it does go through saturday. so this is a very sustained long heat wave that's going to be happening here. so tomorrow's highs, take a look. it's extreme heat inner east bay. we could see a spot that gets really close to 110 degrees. so now is the time to make sure that you are making plans

>> and they're reminding people parents will be held accountable for any damage caused by their children. >> in santa clara county, health officials say in addition to the dangers of large fireworks, smaller ones can be just as bad sparklers, which are illegal in santa clara county can cause damage to the environment. they can hurt people, especially kids. >> if you are using the some parts of the bay area where they are legal, i want to remind everyone sparklers are just as dangerous as large fireworks. every year we parents get sparklers to their children. they rest these on their clothing. and after few seconds, your child is on fire and fighting for their lives. >> of course, with the incoming heat, officials are recommending that you wear sunscreen and stay hydrated to avoid any heat related illnesses. airbnb is taking steps to try to crack down on disruptive and illegal house parties ahead of the 4th weekend. >> as a result, customers will see a block on certain one and

2 night reservations for entire home listings. and this will be throughout the country. airbnb has created a dedicated law enforcement channel to help respond to problems. the company says last year's crackdown deterred more than 9,000 people from booking entire homes. listings in california. that was over the memorial day and the july 4th weekends. well, it's officially the end of an era after spending his entire 13 year nba career. >> with the warriors, espn reporting now that klay thompson is on his way to dallas to jo n the mavericks. yeah. a lot of people a little stunned to kron four's ban. ross is live at chase and you're not stone, but it's still kind hitting hard ban. >> yeah, i think that's a good way to put it because, you know, the reports have been out there that klay thompson was likely to leave. but now that it's officially happening. >> it is kind of it's a guy that hasn't known anybody but the warriors for his entire

nba. >> part of 4 nba championships with the warriors along with steph curry and draymond green. that that trio from golden state has won 98 playoff games. that's the 3rd most of any trio in nba history and as you mentioned, the reports from multiple reports klay thompson now heading to the dallas mavericks on a three-year contract worth 50 million dollars. clay, obviously one of the great players and golden state history, a 5 time all-star. but it sort of a different role last season, really the last couple of years. you know, he had those back to back injuries. the torn acl and then the the torn achilles, which kept him out for 2 full seasons a few years back only averaged 17.9 points per game last year. that was his lowest in over 10 seasons. he also came off the bench a handful of times. so sort of a different role for the warriors. and it seems like they could never quite get on the same page as far as what his role would be moving forward and what the appropriate type of contract

would be. just stay with golden state. obviously, clay. little bit older now at 34 yesterday, we know that the warriors let go. chris paul, who's 39, the warriors did reportedly sign younger guard today deanthony melton who comes over from philadelphia. 26 years old. he's a pretty good shooter in his own right. a great defender. so, you know, the warriors may be trying to get a little bit younger. it's going to definitely a new look team next season. but, you know, it's right now. the feelings i'm sure for both clay and the warriors. it's got to be bittersweet because that was such a an incredible run that they had together. and for the fans of the warriors in san francisco. it's sort of the beginning of the end of this warriors dynasty. so we'll have to wait and see how the rest of nba free agency plays out. reporting live from the chase center. ben ross kron. 4 news and you couldn't put it better. bittersweet for the fans too. thank you, ben. >> coming up, 2 east bay

shootings 2 days in a row with teenager shot each time. also a lot of traffic cameras going up. how caltrans is trying to improve safety and the supreme court decision regarding former president trump that could reshape the limits of presidential power. we're going to top of the constitutional law professor. and that the safest way to stay safe. this 4th of july, celebrate with us. join noelle bellow and down we'll bring you the fireworks shows san francisco, san jose and grand kron four's 4th of july live thursday, starting at 09:00pm.

today the supreme court ruled u.s. presidents are now legally immune from criminal prosecution. if it's considered an official act. >> and the historic ruling leaves room for prosecution for at actions deemed an official. >> sounds like that could be kind of messy. our dc's raquel martin is live in washington to tell us what it means for former president trump. >> you guys will this historic ruling all but guarantees former president donald trump will not face criminal trial for his role leading up to the january 6 riot before election day. the former president took to social media to celebrate this news, calling it quote, a big win for the constitution and democracy. >> was the most highly anticipated and by some accounts, most consequential ruling of the year in a 6 to 3 decision, the supreme court declared u.s. presidents immune from prosecution for official that republicans are

applauding the court's decision which will likely shield former president trump from january 6 related charges, at least until after the election on truth. social trump called it a big win for democracy. the court's conservative majority suggested without some immunity, prosecution of ex-president could quickly become routine. the 3 liberal justices sharply disagreed. justice sonia sotomayor writing the decision, quote, makes a mockery of the principal foundational to our constitution that no man is above the law. the ruling does lee president on the hook for non official acts? but george washington university professor paul schiff, berman warns it would be difficult to separate the 2. it's hard to imagine any prosecution of a president that would not involve some intrusion on executive power. love. today's ruling is a loss for our democracy. the biden campaign is now using the ruling as a rally cry to defeat trump in

november. so much bigger than >> one moment. one issue, this is about the backbone of this country. >> i that was raquel martin reporting for us tonight from washington. but joining us now to help us understand this ruling, we're joined live by associate professor of law margaret russell, with santa clara university. margaret, thank you for doing this. you were saying earlier markers of >> stopping overly dramatic to say reshapes the limits of presidential power. you're. >> it's not being overly dramatic and being very realistic. during the oral argument, justice kavanaugh said i'm not thinking about this case thinking about a rule for the ages. 10, if that's true, then the rule for the ages has expanded presidential power dramatically in an area in which the public should be particularly concerned. that is if there are serious allegations of criminal as in

the trump case. >> so justice sotomayor, if i can, quote heard, she says she cautions that this makes the president pretty much a king above. >> the law, it is that true. >> it's close to in the sense that. if there were i'm sort of worthy and modest. president who understood what the constitution about presidential duties. then. the biggest fear would really be that there wasn't enough legal protection, the opinion, but the reason why bring this up is that. in order for much presidential power to go forward at the supreme court said essentially you are making a rule like it relating the king immunity is basically saying not just we can't we

don't have enough evidence to prove a case. that's not just what they're saying about prosecutors. they're saying even if you could prove that acts of your case immunity protects the president under many circ*mstances from liability simply by saying. i've been exercising my or constitutional duties under the constitution. these are official and. >> margaret, bottom line is the january 6 prosecution serious trouble. >> not right and and here's why. i think there was great disappointment at the slowness that the second take this case up for review, which did not have to happen. and then the slowness of issuing the decision. so i think what it means terms of going to the lower court is that, you know, almost certainly there will be no decision made before the

election. almost certainly. in terms of what has been stripped out of the prosecution's case, there's going to have to be a very the liver. it careful calling. but the district court judge. what almost the question of first impression, which are okay of all these allegations, water official apps and the dissent says that one problem with this decision is that. the president could argue that ordering the assassination of arrival is the core constitutional duty and it's an official at and if that true, then the district court judge, we'll see large parts of the prosecution stripped away. before we we we send you away president biden is expected to speak out about this hour. >> you have any idea what he's likely to say.

>> i did not know he was going to particularly talk about this given all that's happened with president. but in the last week or so. certainly. he's a constitutional if by that. i mean, president biden has has followed the law in paying attention to the role of congress, the power of congress, not youth, are putting too much power from the other branches and respecting the contours of constitution and its decision. changes the playing i get that he will reassure the public he's not going to do a power grab, even though this decision allows that to happen. >> and i'm margaret russell are already out of time. i could keep asking you a lot of questions. but thank you so much for your appreciate it. thank you. so have a good evening. all right. let's go outside as we get a look at sfo at this hour and kron 4 meteorologist kyla grogan is here talking about and again heat. a lot of heat. yeah.

unfortunately effects of the heat combined with some offshore wind is that we have fire danger. not surprising considering we've dealt with, of course, already a lot of brush fires the past couple of weeks. >> so we do have a red flag warning. you can see it's for a good portion of northern california. but as we zoom in here and we get a little more specific to the bay area. this does kick in tonight and it does go through wednesday. you can see the >> coastal mountains in the north bay. also the interior hills and the mountains. same story in the east bay. so those are the areas that are most concerned about. >> and then notice in solano and yolo counties. also, it is a good portion of that area as well. so fire danger. we have to talk about this because unfortunately you seen this before use this to cystic before 85% of wildfires are caused by us caused by humans. so this week as we go through our holiday week, of course, fireworks and things happening. a lot of activities have to make good choices and make sure you're being fire safe. now i talked about the wind is component of this. as we put this into motion tonight, we still have onshore wind. but by the overnight, you'll start to see if you look up by atlas peak. if you

look up by places like calistoga, you start to see that northerly wind rolling and that's where we wake up tomorrow morning with that northerly wind bringing that offshore dry breeze that will drop those humidity levels that combined with the fact that this high pressure is going continue to build as we go not just across tomorrow, but really across the next week. in fact, look out actually starts to combine with some of that high pressure that's been keeping the southern tier so warm over the last week. so we've got high temperatures. we've got low humidity, a little bit of wind and that's the problem. and you can kind of see, as i put this into motion, this is the departure from normal. and we just keep going as we head across the new next couple of days into the weekend, even and we just don't really have a break in sight. so, ladies, i think the thing about this for me is that we haven't had a stretch this long. this gets really dangerous at this time when we've got dry brush, some wind coming our way tomorrow and incredible. and i do mean incredible temperatures in the

inner east bay in particular, we could see spots that get, you know, 10809 degrees. you're right. it's day after day after day rate. that's the thing. i don't have a break. so it's a little bit of a heavy thing to deliver today. but i think that we just got to be real about it before warrant, right? we pace yourself. that's right. preparations. yeah. make sure you know where to get cool and make sure you're being real careful as first fires concern not making any kind of, you know, mistakes that you wish didn't that advice. thanks coming >> still ahead, slight relief at the pump. we're going to take a look at a gallon gas is going for here in the bay area. also, now costs even more to cross. the golden gate bridge will have details on new tolls which took effect today. for your money. this

under 5 averaging 4.94 oakland reporting $4.87 of the cheapest relatively speaking the lay fairfield at $4 and $0.80. president biden has announced that he is extending overtime protection to 1 million workers at applies to people making less than $43,000 a year. the president says that his administration will extend protection to another 3. another 3 million workers making $58,000 a year or last. biden says the results will mean higher paychecks. more time with families. the new rule could also affect some salaried employees who make 6 figures a year until now workers were exempt from overtime. if they earned $107,000 a year out now goes up to 151,020. 25. coming up, big headaches for customers of telco credit union after serious security
