Highs in Santa Clara are expected to soar into the mid to upper 90s Sunday, according to XX, National Weather Service meteorologist for the Bay Area. An analysis from SFGate found that Sunday’s game will likely be the hottest in stadium history. Fans have long had concerns about heat in the stadium, with the majority of seats positioned in the direct sun. “We’re expecting anywhere from 93 to 96 degrees on Sunday” Gass said. “it’s among the warmest” for this time of year. Earlier this week, the San José Mineta International Airport — the closest climate site to Levi’s Stadium — for the first time in recorded history hit 100 degrees three days in a row, among a slew of hot temperatures records shattered this week. Not far away in Mountain View, Stanford’s football team will kick off Saturday against Virginia Tech, where highs are expected to reach into the mid-90s. “We are most concerned with people

San Diego County residents will have an opportunity to share their pollution concerns about the Tijuana River when officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention arrive later this month to conduct a health survey. This is the first time that a federal agency is investigating the potential harm caused by millions of gallons of raw sewage pouring through the Tijuana River that have caused beach closures of more than 1,000 days. Residents living near the river say they have been suffering unexplained illnesses, including gastrointestinal issues and chronic breathing problems, because of the stench of hydrogen sulfide. “We’re continuing to lean in and listen in on what our community residents are feeling,” said Dr. Seema Shah, the interim deputy public health officer with San Diego County. Supervisor Nora Vargas first wrote to the CDC back in May, formally asking the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to look into the health complaints. This week, the county began reaching out to thousands of residents to inform them that the CDC is coming in the hope that they will be more receptive to answering

The San Jose State women’s volleyball team picked up its fourth victory by forfeit Wednesday, three weeks before the match was scheduled to be played and one day before losing on the court for the first time this season. The reason for the unusual sequence of events is straightforward: San Jose State has a transgender athlete on its roster, and four Mountain West Conference opponents have chosen to take losses rather than take the court against the Spartans. Utah State on Wednesday joined Boise State, Southern Utah and Wyoming in canceling the matches even though the Aggies aren’t scheduled to visit San Jose State until Oct. 23. Wyoming was scheduled to play host to the Spartans on Saturday, but that match has already been called a forfeit. Colorado State played host to San Jose State on Thursday and won in straight sets, handing the Spartans their first loss of the season. Nevada has said that it will play San Jose State as scheduled Oct. 26. San Jose State has said that addressing the gender identity of its athletes would violate school policy, and the schools

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass selected Jim McDonnell to serve as the city’s next police chief Friday, ending a months-long search process and ushering in a new era for one of the country’s largest police departments. In picking the longtime lawman — who helped implement a federal consent decree as an LAPD assistant chief and later was elected Los Angeles County sheriff — Bass is getting a steady hand as the massive security challenges of the World Cup and the Olympic Games loom on the horizon. However, the appointment of McDonnell, who is white, came as a surprise — and a disappointment to some — who hoped Bass would appoint the city’s first Latino or woman to serve as chief. “From the beginning, I have been clear: My top priority as Mayor is to ensure that Angelenos and our neighborhoods are safer today than yesterday,” Bass said in a statement. “Chief McDonnell is a leader, an innovator, and a change maker, and I am looking forward to working with him to grow and strengthen LAPD, deepen relationships with communities across the city, and make sure

Credit card debt forgiveness could prevent you from doing further damage to your finances. Getty Images/iStockphoto Credit card debt is a growing problem nationwide, with the total amount of credit card debt recently surpassing $1.14 trillion — a record high. This uptick is being driven by a range of factors, including lingering inflationary pressures , which have caused the cost of consumer goods like groceries and fuel to climb over the last few years. As a result, more Americans are using their credit cards to help cover their basic expenses, with the average credit cardholder now owing roughly $8,000 , and a large number of cardholders owing much more than that.  Credit card interest rates are also sitting at nearly 23% on average , the highest rate on record, which means that it’s easy for credit card debt to spiral out of control right now due to interest charges. After all, when you’re carrying a large revolving card balance, the compounding interest can easily turn

Jared Butler takes on new sport challenge Jared Butler’s journey from basketball star to swimming student 04:17 As the NBA season approaches, players are hitting the gym to prepare. Among them is Jared Butler, a guard for the Washington Wizards.  But while Butler has been working hard on his basketball skills, he’s also been pursuing a goal off the court that might surprise some: Learning how to swim. The 24-year-old Louisiana native never learned to swim growing up. His focus was basketball, and swim lessons weren’t readily available. Butler also points out that there was a generational aspect at play. His mother never learned how to swim, and that fear trickled down to him. “Always in the back of my mind, always like the thing that I just couldn’t do,” said Butler. Overcoming challenges If a parent doesn’t know how to swim, there’s only a 19% chance that their child will learn, according to the USA Swimming Foundation. The foundation also reports that 64% of Black children and teens have little to no swimming ability, compared to 40% of White children and teens. Butler remembered

Residents of Los Angeles will soon know their next chief of police. In a news conference scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday, mayor Karen Bass is expected to name the new chief of the L.A. Police Department. The hire is thought to be one of the crucial events of Bass’ first term in office. According to the Los Angeles Times, the pick was expected to be Jim McDonnell, former Los Angeles County Sheriff and LAPD assistant chief. McDonnell was elected sheriff in 2014 before losing to Alex Villanueva in a 2018 reelection bid. McDonnell has previously served as the chief of the Long Beach Police Department. The announcement comes after a search spanning several months. The vacancy opened after Chief Michael Moore’s surprise retirement earlier this year. Moore, who served in the role from 2018 until this February, took on challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and protests stemming from the death of George Floyd. In March, Assistant Chief Dominic H. Choi was unanimously appointed by the civilian Board of Police Commissioners to serve as interim chief of the LAPD. From the beginning of his brief

In what closely resembles a scene from a 1980s movie or a beef jerky commercial, new footage purportedly of Bigfoot has racked up millions of views on social media. The video was recorded in the Parallel Forest in Lawton, Oklahoma, on Sept. 27. “Scariest moment of my life, and I really think I caught a [expletive] Bigfoot on camera in Parallel Forest,” said Emmanuel Alfaro, who recorded the footage and posted it to TikTok. Alfaro’s video is just ten seconds long and, unlike most other purported Bigfoot footage, is relatively clear. The creature, or person in a costume, appears to sniff or munch on some leaves and then starts to look around before the video ends. “I was just doing some sightseeing and enjoying the day when I saw something in the distance. I’m still shaking as I type this,” Alfaro said. Alfaro was asked if he was involved in a stunt or if he was aware of one, and he responded, “No clue if it was a stunt; I just got the [expletive] outta there as quick as I could. I thought I was

LeBron James and his son Bronny could play together as Lakers for the first time Friday evening when the team opens preseason play against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Acrisure Arena. Coach JJ Redick said Thursday the elder James and starting center Anthony Davis will play this weekend but did not specify if or how much they would play Friday or Sunday against the Phoenix Suns, also at Acrisure Arena. “We’re still talking through what minutes and rotations look like — we have a general idea of what that looks like for all of preseason, but trying to figure out what makes the most sense,” Redick said after practice at UCLA Health Training Center in El Segundo. “Our framework for a plan is based on real time and on how these guys feel.” Bronny James made himself eligible for the June NBA draft after averaging 4.8 points per game in his lone season at USC and was chosen by the Lakers with the 55th overall selection. He played 490 minutes over 25 games with six starts for the Trojans. The 6-foot-2-inch, 210-pound guard missed the first
