Definitely expect to see a little bit of a slowdown there. Also the metering lights have been on since 5 20 but noticed building traffic earlier bay bridge westbound 80 toward the bay bridge looking at 13 minutes. Look at the busy trivalley once again, westbound 580 from grant line road to 680 from about 14 minutes to 24 minutes so that gives you an idea where we stand at now.

The community is still trying to make sense of what happened as the investigation moves forward. Heres what weve learned over the past 24 hours. Seven shooting victims remain in the hospital. Gilroys police chief says the possibility of a second suspect in the case is not likely. He also says the second shotgun was found in the gunmans car, parked near Festival Grounds. A bag full of ammo was also found in a creek not far from where the gunman cut through the fence. Investigators do not believe he specifically targeted minorities. The three Police Officers who killed the gunman are on standard administrative leave.

That means there will be a lot more deputies on site, as opposed to private security guards, which weve seen in years past, as well as federal agents.

Were reaching into the mid 80s, so it will start to warm up, going into the afternoon. Here is a look at todays forecast for the south bay, our High Temperature headed up to 79 degrees. The peninsula up to 77, and the trivalley reaching 84 degrees. For the north bay, expect a high of 81 with mid60s in San Francisco, and the east bay reaching the upper 70s. Headed over to vianey, youve been tracking the roads and it looks like everything is flowing pretty well. It was until about a minute ago, kari. Now in San Francisco we have a crash being reported. Chp and its starting to show some delays on our speed sensors. I want to start you out with a look at the bay area overall. Were doing okay. Were doing all right but here it is the crash i wanted to tell you about, this is along northbound 101 at grand avenue. Lanes five and six remain blocked. You can see its starting to show the little yellow color right there, its slowing down. It looks like its a twovehicle crash, one appears to be off on its side so possible rollover. We hope everybody is okay. As of right now, though, again lanes five and six are blocked, that could cause heavy delays especially now that were at the 6 00 a. M. A live look at the san mateo bridge. Lets get busy out there. Hopefully everybody is keeping it safe. Back to you. Hope so, thanks. Still ahead this morning, hes had enough of the hotdogs for the summer. Next and new this morning, wings, san joses Joey Chestnut scarfed down. Look at it, munch, munch. Plus a big rate cut expected today and President Trump says there are some tweets that he regrets. And later, a parents worst nightmare. A toddler dangling from a window before falling six stories. Luckily hes okay. At 6 25, the dramatic conclusion. You are watching today in the bay. Good wednesday morning. Right now at 6 13, lets head over to fremont. A live look all clear skies and a cool start to the day. We have another Beautiful Day ahead with our temperatures warming into the low 80s. Well get a look at our microclimates and also some slightly warmer air in the weekend forecast. Thats in less than five minutes. Heads up, if youre driving in to San Francisco, weve got a crash on northbound 101 at grand avenue. Lanes five and six are blocked. Chp reporting it as a rollover crash. Were seeing backed up traffic beyond san bruno at this point. You may want to take surface streets northbound 101 at grand avenue, ill have another update coming up shortly. Good morning. Very happy wednesday as well. This is the last day of july. Theres an important faa testimony in washington today. The faas head of safety is also the guy in charge of supervising the boeing max 8s at the time. Well be watching that. Apple opened its books to investors and analysts wednesday afternoon and what it said was pretty historic by apple standards. For the Third Quarter in a row, sales of iphones fell and other things like apple watch gained. In fact, ipads and watches and services now account for a majority of apples income. The problem with iphone is theyre just really good. Everybodys happy with them. You dont need to upgrade to the next one. If you have one that works just fine right now and applesext set of phones probably wont be 5g. Theres little reason to upgrade to those either. The other thing to watch and i want you to Pay Attention to is federal interest rates. The open markets committee is going to make an announcement about a rate cut at 11 00 a. M. Our time. We expect it will be a rate cut. If it lowers rates, it will be the first time in a decade. President trump blames slow Economic Growth on high interest rates. Honestly, theyre not that high, and the data shows its actually the trade war and tariffs that are the biggest anchor on growth. Trade talksen back on. This is video from shanghai. President trumps been sending out aggressive tweets threatening the talks. Trumps got china back on hits heels, he tweeted. In an interview with cspan last night, President Trump talked about his twitter game, acknowledging he regrets certain retweets. He says you know you retweet something that sounds good, but it turns out to be from a player thats not the best player in the world, he said. That causes a problem. But he said his own tweets he likes it when they get instant attention. What it really is, is as soon as i do it, you put it on, everybody puts it on, its breaking news. Every time i put out a tweet, even if its good morning everybody, we have breaking news, the president has just said good morning. We are guilty of that in the media. Arguably the most important thing thats happened in the last week is President Trump selling arms to the saudis against the wishes of the house and the senate and thats gone largely uncovered, but then again what he is saying in those tweets is so divisive and so upsetting to so many people, i dont see how we cant cover it. Hes so vocal on the tweets. Thanks, scott. He tweets often. 6 16, a south bay eating champion at it again. Take a look Joey Chestnut downing more than 400 wings at a mall in georgia in honor of National Chicken wing day. 413 to be exact. Can you believe that . The san jose in aive is famous for quickly devouring dozens of hotdogs on coney island each year on july 4th holiday, but yesterday the event was more of an allyoucaneat marathon. It lasted 12 hours and doing the math year, thats about 34 wings an hour. I had a rough spill, about two hours in. My body wau wasnt used to eating for that long. I had to muscle through it and tell my body, hey, this is what youre doing today. Muscle through it. Tom acmuscles. Chestnut holds 46 eating world records, including 55 glazed doughnuts in eight minutes and 100 crystal hamburgers in eight minutes. I dont like when they dip the bread in the water. The whole thing is hard to watch. At least this one, okay, that one didnt gross me out as much. The chicken wing competition id be good at the first ten and then im full. 12 hours of chicken wings, no thanks. I could set a world record for coffee. Im on my third cup. Lets get started. Its going to be a great day and im looking forward to all of the beautiful weather were going to see once again. Not only today but the next couple of days. Lets get you out the door with a live look outside in San Francisco. Look at the low clouds and fog. Weve seen that for the past couple of days and the sevenday forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen, as we check out our temperature trend for los gatos. Expect some upper 50s at 8 00, and then we go from 59 to 73 degrees at 11 00, then going to reach into the mid 80s. It will be heating up this afternoon. Lets look at all of our microclimates and go hour by hour. Here we are at 10 00, were at 70 in antioch. Cupertino is at 69 degrees. At noon, headed into 1 00, if you have a late lunch expect it to be 76 degrees in novato and 75 in palo alto. Well start to see low 80s in the south bay as well as the inland east bay, with some upper 80s in antioch this afternoon, while we see a high of 87 in concord today. It will be a nice one and then cooling down quickly. It wont be as windy as yesterday but still a nice cooldown going in to tonight. And if youre planning to head out to the as game, first pitch at 7 07, its going to be nice and sunny, some mid60s, but then cooling down so have a jacket with you, once the temperatures drop. As we look at whats happening here, the cooldown is on. Weve seen High Pressure backing off across the desert southwest, and also a storm system approaching to the Pacific Northwest thats going to bring them some rain. For us, with the winds flowing around that area of low pressure, we have some breezy winds bringing in some of the cool air from the coastal fog but this weekend, the High Pressure will start to build once again, and we are going to have some slightly warmer temperatures for the inland valleys. So look at the sevenday forecast, we have some low to mid 80s, and then some low 90s for saturday and sunday into early next week. San Francisco Holding steady, with some upper 60s, and also that fog lingering each and every day. Vianey, youve been tracking the roads headed in to San Francisco. Now whats going on . Yes, San Francisco, if youre going to be commuting along northbound 101, i do have a crash that i want to tell you about. Let me start with this overall look at the bay area. In the south bay typical slowing. East bay no big accidents. Lets get right to the crash. Chp is reporting, have reported on this earlier. Chp now saying of course this is a rollover crash and we hope everybodys okay. The two right lanes are blocked along northbound 101 at grand avenue. Were starting to notice some heavy delays backed up beyond san bruno 380 so beyond that interchange is starting to get heavy. You can see that was yellow earlier, now we see complete red. Its really tough especially right now at 6 20, so again, this is along northbound 101 at grand avenue, a rollover crash is blocking the two right lanes. They have some lanes open but because of those two right lanes tha
