and high temperatures. >> when it's a spare the air day, here's what you see. hazy skies. >> i come from san mateo so you can really see it in this valley. it's heavier here because you get more of a breeze from the bay. >> what she really noticed on this scorching day was the heavy air. >> the air is heavier, so you take more of a breath when you try to breathe in. i try to stay in as much as i can. >> reporter: spare the air day means laying off grilling with charcoal or do what guinness did. >> i bought a roasted chicken. i wasn't going to go home and cook. >> reporter: many commuters choose to carpool or take public transit which you are enkurncoud to do, but those on bart had to endure a 15-minute delay. >> when we have a really hot day, it creeps along. >> like how fast or how slow? >> sometimes it stops altogether, sometimes it goes just a couple miles an hour.

others walked 25 miles from san francisco to the gates of san quentin. >> you contemplate the death of a human being, deliberate killing of a human being against the backdrop of the marin hills, the golden gate bridge, the san francisco skyline, the beautiful bay, it's just a very moving, moving experience. >> while brojan prepares for his journey, the legal fight over brown's execution rages. governor schwarzenegger delayed the execution by 48 hours to consider a clemency request and to allow the riverside rape and murderer to file appeals. >> so they were forced to delay the execution until thursday to allow robert brown enough time to appeal in his case. >> reporter: the execution by lethal injection is now scheduled for 9:00 september 30th. but the department of corrections and rehabilitation says brown's execution may be

the last until they can get a new ant septic sodium pentathol. it only has one dose left and that dose expires october 21st. >> apparently they have a three-hour window to carry out the execution before their drugs expire and they may no longer legally use them. >> reporter: if brown's execution is delayed past friday, the state may have to wait to carry out the death warrant until next year. that's when the drug manufacturer says the new supply will be available. so again, late word tonight, the nooipt circuit court of appeals has decided the federal trial judge should reconsider his decision, the decision that opened the door for this execution to happen in the first place. so tomorrow we're expecting a lot of action in court. >> thank you, jean. the big five is done for the night. they will convene at noon tomorrow to continue hammering out a so-called framework for the state budget. right now lawmakers are

vallejo police said they also want to know if any chemicals they found were used to speed up the body's decomposition. >> this will also tell us if there was an attempt to dispose of the body with chemicals. >> it could take weeks for the tests to come back and the autopsies to be complete. in the meantime, rittenhouse's attorney says don't expect him to say anything. if he holds the answers to this complicated killing spree, we'll have to wait to hear a story. in the east bay, jodi hernandez, nbc bay area news. >> charles rittenhouse will be back in court october 7 on the explosives charges. he has pleaded not guilty. cyberspace is an internet predator's social media. how do you keep tabs on your kids' internet activity without going too far? two south bay dads think they

of wind. a very weak sea breeze at 7. that by this time tomorrow night should be a whole lot stronger. we hope that's the case because our forecast tomorrow still calls for another very hot day, but as we jump to wednesday ask thursday, we should see a stronger inland sea breeze. lots of 70s outside, low 70s right now up and down the tri valley. but you can see inland, lots of 70s, not just for those inland locations, but look at san francisco up and down the peninsula still in the mid-70s. unfortunately, unhealthy for sensitive groups. if you have asthma or any respiratory issues, not a good idea to be outside right now. we'll see temperatures getting above 100 degrees. tomorrow uit's a warm start. i would almost say t-shirt weather in the morning.

east bay and south of san jose. the air just flat dries out and warms up as it heads out to the ocean. so for areas inland tomorrow, especially the tri valley, getting above 100 degrees in places like pleasanton and livermore, and back in the 80s inland by the time we wrap up the work week. one more hot day around the bay area, then things cool off as we approach next weekend. for tomorrow you can see those numbers south of san jose. still 103 degrees around morgan hill. if we get to that, that would be a new high presented tomorrow. i've bumped up the temperatures for peninsula and san francisco. it may get close to 90 during the day and then you saw the east bay numbers around contra costa county. finally some air-conditioning
