know, come up by five, even ten degrees over what we're seeing out there right now before we are all said and done. so the heat advisory already underway. it goes until 8:00 this evening for north bay interior, east bay interior and for the santa clara valley. it does not include the coast, nor san francisco peninsula or east bay shore. just a reminder there to drink plenty of fluids for folks that do not need to be outdoors during the afternoon hours. don't wait. stay inside with the ac. and just a reminder here never leave your children or your pets in unattended vehicles for any amount of time. i'll have a better look at the current conditions. what we can expect for the afternoon, and the drop in temperatures that begin tomorrow. coming up. >> solid advice there, rosemary. thank you. meantime, people across the bay area are looking to cool down. it also has firefighters on alert. ktvu james thor spent the morning in brentwood and has advised on what you can do during days like this to triple digit heat. take a look. >> summer might have finally given itself a warm welcome to the bay area. i love the hot

weather, but now that i've gotten older that hot, i stay in the house in brentwood and in much of the east bay. a heat advisory is now in effect. that means the national weather service is warning you temperatures could hit 100 degrees over the next few hours. use that warning as a way to adjust. >> if i don't have to go out, i'm not going out. so even if i was working, you know, at a job, i still, if i don't have to be outside, then stay inside, you know, stay in the air condition and drink a lot of water. >> it's days like today that put fire departments on high alert. not only are they keeping an eye on wildfire risk and drying vegetation, but they respond to more heat related emergencies. >> human nature. we overestimate our limitations and what we can do, we think that that the weather and the heat aren't going to control us or can't really affect us in negative ways, but it absolutely can. and it does. so we see an uptick there. >> advice. drink more than

enough water. stay indoors as much as possible, and if you must be outside, take advantage of shade as often as you can. that heat advisory will stay in effect until about 8:00 tonight, but the national weather service says it is looking into whether it needs to extend that advisory until some parts of the day. tomorrow we'll let you know if that happens. reporting from brentwood. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. meantime a grass fire near livermore shutting down parts of interstate 580 this morning. >> flames scorched about 50 acres of grass near north flynn road along the altamont pass. now, the eastbound lanes were shut down while crews worked to put out the flames. traffic is now slowly moving through the area. crews say they are making forward progress on that fire. the cause now under investigation. >> police in oakland are trying to determine what led up to a deadly shooting tied to ae invasion. it happened shortly before 6:00 yesterday evening, near the intersection of 98th avenue and burr streets, not far from the oakland zoo. a van from the alameda county coroner's

office arrived on scene a short time later. witnesses tell ktvu news the gunfire followed a home invasion, and they believe the homeowner shot and killed one of the robbery suspects. those witnesses spotted three people pull up to the home in a white infiniti. they then say they heard the sound of at least two gunshots. neighbors say criminals often target the area. >> we just tend to see a lot of bad things happening. >> yeah, i wouldn't say the neighborhood is too bad, but i can say a lot of people come from outside the neighborhood. and yeah, just kind of leave stuff bad. because just the other day, somebody stole a car and left it right in front of our driveway, so we couldn't even get out of our driveway. >> we have reached out to oakland police to get more information on last night's deadly shooting. new at noon. governor newsom released new figures today showing crime is down in oakland. the governor's office says since february, the highway patrol has recovered 887 stolen vehicles, seized 47 firearms linked to crimes and arrested 440 people. this report comes as the city of oakland

waste any time. >> prosecutor leo wise said in his summation that text messages, bank records, end quote, personal, ugly and overwhelming testimony prove hunter was a drug user when he bought a gun in 2018. but defense attorneys argued there is no way to prove the president's son was actually using drugs during the 11 days he had the gun. the defense tried to sow a seed of doubt in the jury's mind, playing not only to the hometown crowd, but also to the jury's emotions, hoping to tap into their personal experiences with addiction and possibly create sympathy for hunter. but in the end, it didn't work. >> when you hear his account of his struggle with drugs, you can't be anything but empathetic. but there was also an unavoidable series of criminal acts in all of this. >> hunter biden now faces up to 25 years in prison, but as a first time offender, it's unlikely that he'll serve any serious jail time in wilmington, delaware. rebecca castor, fox news. >> an appeal for disgraced theranos founder elizabeth holmes was heard this morning in

ceasefire deal that would release the last of the hostages today. >> as we gather, one and only one thing stands in the way of this deal happening, and that's from us. >> on monday, the united nations security council approved a resolution endorsing the ceasefire plan. a senior hamas leader released a statement saying the resolution contains points we do not accept, but its main aspects are positive. there are also reports that the u.s. is considering bypassing israel and negotiating directly with hamas for the release of american hostages. >> we have to be very concerned, though, that if the united states is going to negotiate separately with hamas, whether it's going to increase the price of the release of the rest of the hostages, it's creating a different category of hostages. those who have american passports, those who don't have american passports, u.s. officials would not comment on whether there are separate negotiations. >> but parents of those americans say they welcome any talks that bring their loved ones home in washington. caroline shively, ktvu, fox two news and the new round of clashes between pro-palestinian
