This was the scene about 3 00 this morning, off highway 101 and the road that it intersects is east lucessa and the in south gilroy. Firefighters arrived and quickly stopped the progress of the fire. I talked with meteorologist kari hall about fire danger, theres no red flag warning because the winds are calm but with a run up of temperatures like weve had, certainly the grasses and the brush are drying out, making them ready fuel for fire. In california, about 95 of wildfires are caused by people mostly unintentionally, so cal fire advises all of us to be careful when we use the power tools, to landscape or clear dried brush, use them before 10 00 in the morning and never when its windy or super hot as its been in the last couple of days. Maintain your vehicles, make sure nothing is dragging or creating sparks. Temperatures are supposed to drop this weekend, a welcome relief but all of the dry stuff is going to continue to be dry and a good reminder that we are in the middle of wildfire season.

Drivers should expect delays along highway 24 of up to 30 minutes. Reporting live here in walnut creek, bob redell today in the bay. Good to know, thanks, bob.

Happening today calling all thrill seekers lets go the celebration of National Roller coaster day, my favorite day. Not so much. The first 100 riders on the giant dipper will get a free cup. By the way, the coaster is the oldest in the state, and anyone wanting to take part in the fun should be prepared for some of that heat out there, although youll be by the coastline. Will that help, kari . It will help. Cooler temperatures in santa cruz, only reaching into the upper 60s, right there at the boardwalk and around downtown were in the low 70s today. So it will be a nice one to head out there to santa cruz, or to any of the bay area coastline. As we take a live look outside in San Francisco, its a clear start. Our air quality for the inland areas remain unhealthy, so for the east bay, santa clara valley, its another spare the air alert day, meaning you should carpool, catch Public Transit and our temperatures are still very hot for spots like concord, antioch and ukiah, reaching 102 degrees, and 97 today in san jose.

Here are todays top business headlines. Wall street is poised to open up higher this morning, following the markets modest rebound yesterday. The dow pacing those gains thanks to walmarts better than expected earnings. Still, the dow is having its worst week since may, amid growing concerns about u. S. china trade talksa slowdown in the Global Economy and fears of a possible recession. On todays watch list a report on Housing Starts and consumer sentiment. Facebook users are ewing the company over a data breach last year, they say facebook failed to warn them about the risk tied to its single signon tool even though it protected employees. Single signon connects users to Third Party Apps and Services Using facebook logins. The suit stems from the companys worst Security Breach ever last september when hackers stole login codes or access tokens allowing them access to nearly 29 million accounts. Attackers took profile details such as birth dates, employers, education history, types of device used and pages followed. Facebook said hackers did not steal personal messages or financial information. And twitter is testing a filter for direct messages that contain conference offensive content. Those flagged can be stored away in a folder thats marked additional messages. Users can choose to view them or delete them. Twitter has taken steps without the need for human interception and tested hide replies a feature that would make it easier to report offensive tweets. I dont know about you guys about you if i had additional messages folder there would be interesting stuff in there, i might be tempted to peek in. I dont know, ive gotten some interesting ones on instagram and they give you luke a filter, and its good. I dont need to see certain things. Right. From certain viewers. Some are pretty funny. I like to tiptoe in there every once in a while. I look in there, im like hmm. Thanks, frank.

Okay. Also trending many students across the country and the bay area returning to the classroom this week but after a long summer, the parents need a break. For the first day of school, one florida mom decided to celebrate with a trip to disney world. She headed over to the happiest place on earth after dropping her kids off for their first day of school. She says on her disney themed blog she hopes by the story going viral shes inspired more parents to take Mental Health days. What i want to know is what her kids said when they found out oh, mom my kids dont want me to do anything fun if theyre not around. Wow, generous. I could go to vegas, its like well, you cant go. But disney world, theyre like, i want to go exactly. You had to go to school, sorry. A little bit of relief but a lot of work getting the lunches ready, making sure theyre wearing the right clothing. Disneyland take care of the characters. Were getting you ready for school this morning, a lot more kids heading back, this is a live look outside in san jose this morning, looking at the guy runnin ing ning across the stre. Look at our temperatures. Were still dealing with excessive heat in parts of the bay area. Lake county and Solano County included in an excessive heat warning from 11 00 until 8 00, where temperatures still will be over 100 degrees, but that doesnt mean the rest of the bay area wont see tripledigits. In livermore at 8 00 if youre headed out to the park, enjoying some time outside, you want to get out there at around 8 00 because its still comfortable then. Look at 11 00, its 88 degrees. Its 97 degrees at 1 00. You can see how quickly temperatures go up. Make sure youre staying hydrated today. Our winds are light but as we go into tonight, the winds start to get a little bit more breezy. Were talking 10 to 15 Miles Per Hour and thats going to help cool us off. As we make weekend plans, maybe youll check out the martinez vintage market happening tomorrow. We have some great weather for that, with some mid60s in the morning, and its going to be much cooler throughout the day, so youll enjoy that along with anything outside for the next several days, with some of our warmer temperatures reaching the upper 80s. Well be up to 84 degrees on sunday, and then for next week, we are going to warm up again into the low to mid90s. San francisco coming out of those upper 70s today, and well see some 60s for the weekend. Mike, youre checking in on that crash on the peninsula. This crash here. Chp is relaying what theyre told so its like a game of telephone but we have a real live camera showing us whats going on. Chp said that the lanes they thought were cleared or told they were cleared north 101 toward marsh but clearly we still see flashing lights in the roadway. I zoomed the camera in, north of willow headed up toward marsh is the stretch of roadway looks like we may have a traffic break going on, in the last 15 minutes. We continue to see slowing north 101. If you join the freeway north of marsh, so if you could take highway 84 for example off the dumbarton bridge and head up toward marsh which you probably do anyway that will be fine. Traveling through palo alto you may see blips between willow and marsh that short stretch. If you could hold off getting on to 101 until that point youre all the better. Over here looking at northbound 680 at montague, overnight theres a disabled big rig, a tanker truck of some sort blocking your right two lanes and its still there, i dont know about tow trucks. Were waiting for a medium sized rig but i have yet to get that confirmation from chp. Hasnt been a lot of chatter but no slowing for the sensors or up to the bay bridge where we have the cash lanes starting a little bit of a build, very little because its friday. Back to you. Thanks, mike. 5 20 right now. Alerting smokers next here on today in the bay. We hav
