the 80s and heading into this afternoon which puts us a little bit above average. yesterday we were sitting below average with 70s widespread throughout the east bay. down into the santa clara valley too. but we're starting to see more normal quote unquote conditions as we head into this weekend's forecast. and early next week too. plenty of sunshine in store for us each day throughout the next seven days. we're expecting 60s today near san francisco. heading all the way up into the north bay near novato and petaluma. upper 70s in the forecast with some gusty conditions. wind speeds today along the coastline could get anywhere up to around 40 miles per hour if you live closer to bodega bay. 30-mile-per-hour winds expected in san francisco this afternoon. down into the santa clara valley, 80s in store for us today. beautiful weather right around the corner into the weekend. we'll have more on that in a bit. for now over to you, g. let's talk about the freeways right now getting ready to head out the door and a here's ha live look at the golden gate bridge. and if you are coming into san francisco this weekend mike get a little bit busier. you might see extra traffic here. of course with some of the events planned for

some lane closures in and around folsom and if you are headed to the city via the golden gate bridge out of marin. right now 101 is looking good and bay bridge toll plaza all clear and metering lights are on but the backup is minimal and still a pretty quiet commute heading into san francisco. in fact, the only brake lights are really where the metering lights are. it is slow for folks heading in and out of the altamont pass this morning. really westbound. but heads-up, a wind advisory in effect for this area coming out of tracy right around that area near north flynn. and grant line. shawn? gianna. thank you. we want to begin this hour talking about the drug crisis in san francisco's tenderloin. the search for solutions. the dea, the fbi and the justice department just gave an update on their fight to cut off the pipeline of fentanyl flowing into the neighborhood. since last november, the feds say they've been extraditing suspected drug dealers who fled to latin america. they're also doing more to stop night markets and overnight operations have allowed them to file 20 federal criminal complaints. the neighborhood

has a long-standing reputation of being a place that's easy to find drugs. our wilson walker hit the streets and talked to some people who say they've seen that start to change. [ sirens ] >> what i'm noticing during the day, it's difficult to find at all. >> reporter: j.j. says the trend started months ago and it has only accelerated in recent weeks. drugs like fentanyl are getting harder to find in san francisco's tenderloin. >> definitely. definitely. so -- people are definitely selling smaller amounts. and more fights are happening because of it. people are getting ripped off. >> yeah, i have a couple of friends. one wanted to move to -- philadelphia. and another to oregon. just to -- so they can get dope easier. >> reporter: brian says the diminishing supply of readily available drugs is the direct result of fewer dealers. >> of the main ones that have been selling here for years, you know, that like have established themselves,

there's probably less than like ten like that are -- like out of jail right now. >> like you have walked these streets, right? there used to be six to ten drug dealers on every block during the day. >> reporter: special agent in charge of the san francisco field office for the dea, brian clark, says combined federal, state, and local efforts have turned a corner and drug dealers are now on the run. >> i think we've had a significant transformation during the day. right? we've been able to kind of change how the open air drug market works right now. >> yeah, it's -- it sucks and in the daytime, this was so [ bleep ] not worth it to buy it. so you have to wait until midnight to get decent stuff. >> so now they are operating at night. that felt safer at night. we've adjusted to that. >> reporter: one part of that adjustment is added staffing for an around the clock offensive. with a swarm of agencies now targeting the streets and overnight markets. >> they are working from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. they're following around the drug traffickers at night. we also have deputized sfpd narcotics officers so they can file and

take cases that they work on and take them to the federal system and file federal cases on individuals. >> reporter: federal charges not only come with the risk of a more substantial prison sentence -- >> if you are prosecuted federally, you may be turned over and deported. based upon the felony conviction. >> reporter: clark says the agency knows the arrests are affecting the market. but he acknowledges that enforcement can only do so much. >> that's why education, treatment, and prevention is more important than ever. like -- our colleagues at public health need to get out here to provide the resources and the prevention and treatment in order to make a change in order for us to turn this around. >> i don't like to see my friends, you know, be arrested. or, you know, in withdrawal or anything like that. so it does suck, but i understand where, you know, the general public is coming from, you know. got people -- was pretty crazy out here.

>> reporter: yes, brian himself says the pressure on dealers is making a difference. >> yeah. the city in my opinion is starting to like -- look better. you know? more vibrant and stuff. used to be just like drug addicts everywhere, you know, and now you see like tourists and stuff, you know. >> so the city relies on a team of community ambassadors to handle calls about drug users. and reach the homeless population in the tenderloin. but gianna, we know that funding for this program is in trouble. >> yeah, and shawn, it's all part of mayor london breed's plan to help close the city's $800 million deficit. but some city leaders, well, they're pushing back fighting to keep a program that they say really has become essential on these san francisco streets. community ambassadors cover more than half a dozen neighborhoods in san francisco. they help connect the homeless with resources and they speak more than eight languages to reach the diverse communities of the city. john brit is a

former ambassador and worked in the tenderloin seeing many suffering from drug overdoses. >> we actually had to narcan her and bring her back to life. and so that really -- that really put in me that, you know, the job really is important. because people walking by her and they didn't even notice her. >> one of the last things that should be on the chopping block. so do we have to make cuts in our budget? of course. but we do not need to target program like this that is real source of pride and really so important for public safety and for positive interactions in our neighborhood. >> supervisors preston feels the city can find other ways to fix its deficit. five other supervisors are cosponsoring preston's resolution hoping to keep the ambassadors on city streets. shawn? gianna, a san leandro liquor store owner is picking up the pieces after burglars rammed a car into his business. we want to show you some surveillance video here where you will be able to see thieves smashing their way into gourmet seller on washington avenue

early thursday morning. there it is. the suspects were unable to steal the store's atm. but the damage left behind is extensive. >> we pay heavy fees. we pay all the licenses and everything. and -- all those things we doing for the public and the government or the taxpayers. and everybody. it was -- then you got end up in this way. >> the burglars only got away with some packs of cigarettes and they grabbed on their way out. the same silver car was later found abandoned on enterprise way in oakland. it was also apparently used to ram into a business at that location as well. so far, no arrests. in san mateo, a person has been arrested following a shooting yesterday afternoon. police say they were called to the intersection of hillsdale boulevard and south norfolk street for reports of gunfire. when they arrived, they learned the shooting suspect had a escaped to a nearby apartment building and officers located that person and negotiated a

surrender. the shooting victim was found in san carlos and taken to a nearby hospital. and the state trial of david depape, the man who attacked house speaker nancy pelosi's husband resumes today. last month he was convicted in federal court of assault and attempted kidnapping of a federal official's family member for that 2022 attack. last week, a san francisco judge dropped several of the most serious charges in the state case. jurors are expected to reconvene in that case later in the morning. gianna? 6:10 on this friday morning. and a new housing complex in oakland giving this mother of six a safe place to live. the unique partnership in the city helping build affordable housing. and let's take a live lack at the alameda county fairgrounds where we are all this morning. the fair officially starts today. and so throughout the morning we're going to be sharing some of the fun activities you can expect and as you can see, plenty to do there. we'll be showing that to you when we come back.

with low visibility at the surface level. this afternoon it will break apart and plenty of sunshine in the afternoon and beautiful conditions but gusty for sure. what's happening right now is we're kind of sandwiched in-between low pressure and high pressure creating a strong pressure gradient that's going to mean breezier conditions for us widespread throughout the bay area and we're going to notice it i mean already this morning. about 22-mile-per-hour wind gusts near san francisco right now. 25-mile-per-hour wind gusts the more north we go closer to bodega bay. watch what happens as we advance the clock. now we're into the 1:00 hour. about -- 30-mile-per-hour winds speeds closer to san francisco at that point and closer to 40-mile-per-hour winds speeds all the way up into bodega bay. just by dinner time and that's the trend as we head into the next couple of days. we'll continue to see some gusty conditions lasting into the afternoon hours. now it is a little bit cool out there though as we wake up this morning. we're in the 50s and 40s all the way up into the north bay. but later this afternoon we warm up in the 70s all the way up in the north bay. 80s off closer to antioch and concord. and we're seeing a return of the 80s down into the santa clara valley. near san jose actually as we head

a band on the verge of hitting it big. >> there are scenes where my character is like rip roaring in another atmosphere. and playing music at the same time. and it's really crazy to have to pretend that you are so dexterous that you can jam on a thing. even while you are terribly messed up. so that is a really fun challenge in the show. >> who's very connected to his character. >> funny, when i first workshopped this play, it was such a delight. it was so fun. and i was -- you know, 29 years old. i was engaged to be married. and i was partying a lot in my life. and when the play finally came back to me, i was two years sober and divorced. and these are things -- these are things that reg goes through in the play also. >> the backdrop for the play? sausalito. will, a bay area native -- >> i remember being 10 years old and realizing what the bay area was. and how special a place it is. and sort of like the cosmic joy and guilt of being born into such an amazing part of the world.

>> falling in love with performing arts at san jose's children's musical theater. >> you know, really credit cmt for being the reason that i'm still doing this. it's such a -- it's such a lovely environment and it's so supportive. you make so many friends. >> cmt's artistic director kevin hauge remembers working with will. >> i can remember him at a very early age playing -- was it was the wazier in "aladdin." hi diddy die. a great magician -- and his fingers were working and he was into it and it's so seldom you meet a great character actor. ♪ ♪ >> even though his latest job is in the big apple, his heart will always be right here in san francisco. >> if i could act anywhere in the world, i'd live in san francisco in a heartbeat, you know? so i miss it and i love it so much. please give it a

just, you know, setting these kids up for success. >> this show that he's in is got a really interesting concept. it's got a lot of -- tony nominations. so it will be fun to cheer him along as well as that show. >> it's the hottest ticket in town right now. or on broadway. we're cheering for you. all right, now taking another live look at the alameda county fairgrounds in pleasanton. this is fun. the alameda county fair is officially back in action today. visitors can enjoy carnival rides and loots of games and nightly concerts as well. the fair will open on wednesdays through sundays every week until july 7th. and that looks like lot of fun. is that a really big cow there in the middle? i think so. getting the thumbs up and brian kiley our photographer. >> he knows all things over there in the east bay. he loves the fair. >> jess. hopefully it's nice weather. it's not only nice weather over there but it's going to be nice for anyone planning to go to chinatown tonight for the night market happening there in san francisco too. with the exception of the winds. it's going to be a gusty weekend as we head into the next couple of days and you are definitely it more into

the afternoon hours. but i mean even this morning, we're waking up to about the 2-mile-per-hour wind gusts near san francisco. about 30-mile-per-hour wind gusts just by the 10:00 hour in area lake bodega bay and now we're going to continue to watch the trend really light off into the inland areas heading into the evening hours tonight and wind speeds anywhere up to around 25 to 30 miles per hour are expected in areas like livermore all the way over into fairfield. but other than that, goodness gracious we just talked about the fair off in the east bay. night markets in san francisco. the juneteenth block parties happening tomorrow in the fillmore district in san francisco. we're expecting 60s all throughout the morning and afternoon hours. so beautiful weather really as we head into the next couple of days. i think it's worth noting that we're not seeing too much day-to-day changes for our daytime highs. so pretty much what we have right around me is what we're going to get heading into father's day. that's the other big one happening too. father's day weekend too. so if you have any plans outdoors 70s in redwood city and 60s closer to san francisco. 50s along the coast with 80s and 70s all in the

inland areas. this is definitely the time of year where all the microclimates are doing their own thing. you know, we warm up a lot more into the inland areas like the santa clara valley and off in the east bay. but we still stay cool and breezy along the shoreline. with that marine layer holding on tight to us too and i'm going to show you the contrast just look at the inland areas. throughout the next seven days we're holding on tight to the 80s and yeah, cools down a little by day-to-day next week. by monday and tuesday. but watch what happens with the friends along the bay. same trend and relatively mild weather in the sense of 70s kind of flirting with series back and forth as we head into next week. but that marine layer is a lot more noticeable like you see behind me right now. actually going to drop this and just going to have the live look behind me. this is what we're expecting as we head in the next couple of days and waking up to gray skies and clears up more in the afternoon hours just like clock work. it will be beautiful next couple of days. for now over to you, g. jess thanks. taking a look at the roadways this morning and it's a friday light. that's a look at that. that's happening at the bay bridge toll plaza and what a nice commute getting up early. on a

good note when it comes to the freeways. a little slow across the upper deck here and there. you have got pockets of slowing. but once you are after the skyway into the city, everything is moving along pretty well. and just a few brake lights westbound 80 as you head into emeryville this morning. we are tracking a slow ride into the autopsy app and windy too. so that's one of the headlines this morning. some brake lights heading out of tracy getting towards north flynn and then a little slow approaching the dublin interchange. and checking in on the trouble spot over on highway 37, westbound, we're getting reports of a vehicle that caught fire. traffic is very slow in both directions especially on that westbound side. this is right at 121 not too far from that sears point exit. so if you are commuting typically through the area. just a heads-up. it's slower than usual as you work your way westbound. so coming out of vallejo and american canyon going from 29 to 37, definitely plan for the brake lights. little slow on highway 4. 42 minute drive antioch to hercules. shawn? gianna thank you. now to
