You might have to deal with the drizzle for a little while longer and then our temperatures reach into the low 90s for east san jose, gilroy will see a high of 94 degrees today, and 9 6 in livermore so really feeling the heat in some spots. While we will have a wide range in temperatures, oakland will see the high today up to 75 degrees, 61 in half moon bay, and san mateo up to 79 degrees. San francisco, low 70s for the mission district. Pretty much like it was yesterday. And novato will have some hot tefr temperatures there, up to 90 degrees and 89 in santa rosa. If you are planning to head to napa valley today, its going to be nice but look at how fast these temperatures warm up. We start at 60 degrees but by noontime, were at 80, upper 80s today but still very nice for enjoying some time out at some of the local vineyards and going hiking in the east bay, we will have some Cool Temperatures throughout the morning, a nice clear sun virise and our temperatures will feel mild at about 10 00 but then i think if youre heading out early afternoon, make sure you keep drinking lots of water as our high temperatures warm into the low 90s and santa cruz, temperatures stay in the 060s s a great weekend to head to the beaches and even into next week as it warms up in the inland areas, we could be hitting triple digits, not much relief from the high heat in the sevenday forecast and mike, youre checking in on whats happening at the bay bridge. Its completely clear. We do have so in the last three minutes t fast track lanes started a little bit backup. If they back up, that usually means the metering lights are on. Were using this camera as your visual comparison. So there you go. Consider them on. A mild backup at the bay bridge toll plaza. Very mild. Looking at your maps, we see a smooth flow of traffic. There was some slowing on the approach. You want to keep that span moving smoothly in case anything happens. Nothing has happened on the bay bridge, though. Thats good news.

Or as fonzi used to say, i was i was wrong about something. It was not about 101 because the crash is off to the shoulder and we see traffic improving. Look how much green. Thats the good news to distract you from the fact that i was wrong about not the approach to the bay bridge but the bay bridge itself. Lets look at the toll plaza. No metering lights and in fact, that fast track backup has cleared off. Some folks waiting right off the minitoll plaza. Not sure whats going on there. Easy drive for a lighter friday, even that beautiful sun vies ri there you go. A pleasant look at the bay bridge. That sunrise definitely caught our attention.

He was talking about it. Just south of the alameda. The car barrelled around the corner into a power pole, not clear if police cited that driver who was not hurt but residents say that kind of thing happens tauall the time. Lets hear from him now. In terms of property damage, we have had quite a few cars damaged on this street. Weve had the other signs taken out over the last few months that ive seen myself.

Continuing coverage of the deadly accident involving the fire ball thrill ride at the Ohio State Fair, it broke apart, sending riders flying. Investigation just Getting Started as other versions of the ride shut down coast to coast. The ride is also now been pulled from next weeks Sonoma County fair. The man who died was 18 years old. Another victim, a teenage girl is now in a medically induced coma. Needless to say, her mother is in shock. She was such a healthy young lady, only 18, trying to have fun, and this is what happened. Santa claras Great America has closed its version of the ride known as the delirium and Santa Cruz Beach board walk briefly considered reopening its fire ball ride but decided against it with no date yet for reopening. 6 36 right now on your friday. This morning, an investigation is underway into why a pilot dropped flame retardant on a neighborhood in windsor. The agency says a pilot was coming back and accidentally released 100 gallons of the retardant. It coated nine homes, 12 cars, a camper, lawns, and the street. Opened the door and it was like everything was pink. So they probably noted that they did something wrong. Well the agency says that the pink retardant is not toxic. City crews covered storm drains before they pumped it into trucks. Firefighters hosed down the streets and sidewalks and had, i bet, a heck of a time trying to scrub those cars. Just how that drop happened, again, is still being investigated. Live look at the bay bridge toll plaza this morning. And look at that. Metering lights, i would say theyre not on, are they, mike . Oh, hes shaking his head off camera no but actually, if it seems to you like there are more commuters on the road, the facts seem to back you up. New findings indicate Traffic Volume in the commute direction on all bridges has increased in the Early Morning hours. That means before 6 00 a. M. When we get up. As for the reasons why people are leaving earlier, may have to do with driving ahead of morning toll increases or trying to find a parking spot. Even more People Living outside of the area, no doubt. Yeah, i think that parking is a good one there. We did show the bay bridge toll plaza and as far as chp goes, they say there are no metering lights but that traffic pattern looks like they might have just turned on. You might have caught that early slowing so well track that. Really, look, all over the bay, a very Pleasant Drive right now. The Speed Sensors slowing a a bit for highway 84 coming down through livermore and pleasanton and a little for 880. Right here, look how easy the drive is down through hayward, and the san mateo bridge, a little build. I want to show you the travel times that are registering on our system. This means the orange there means a speeds are a little slower than 50 Miles Per Hour coming across that span. You expect that for the incline for the bay bridge. And in the middle, the san mateo bridge is green, but i want to show you to live shot. You dont look like theyre showing an easy drive, just a Pleasant Drive, i would say, a lot of company now building over to the peninsula without any major problems. Thats not friday light, mike. Its all relative. Theres that nice bay area morning, so cool and inviting. Refreshing even. How long is it going to stay like that . Well, only during the Morning Hours and then for the weekend its really going to be hot. Thats what weve withbeen talk about all week long. Its going to be back today and tomorrow, no big changes here. Inland areas reach into the mid 90s while the bay will be at 84 degrees and 66 by the coast.
