After nearly two decades. Coming up, the execution just carried out as a result. The third hour of today in the bay continues right now. A very good morning to you and thanks so much for joining us. Im laura garcia. And im marcus washington. Mike, keeping an eye on the commute for thus morning. Meteorologist kari hall keeping track of the forecast. Lets get to the forecast this morning. Kari, how are we starting out . Beautiful sunrise as we take a look outside in san jose. It feels nice outside. Were in for a comfortable day. Mid to upper 50s and trending more into the low 80s by early in the afternoon. Were still going to be above where our normal High Temperature should be for the middle of july and some of our inland temperatures will reach into the upper 80s in the east bay and upper 90s in ukiah as well as clear lake. Now were going to talk about our range in temperatures and whats ahead for the rest of the week coming up. Mike, what are the issues drivers may have as they drive to work . Kari, i have great news. The good news is theres a recovery. The south bay traffic is lightening up and will get better here. This section of southbound 680 has reopened for all lanes as we discussed that would be happening as they closed for a couple minutes to clear the crash and debris. That will recover from now heading into the dublin interchange. There is a crash right there clearing as well from just about the san ramon exit. Back to you. We want to talk about a big bump this morning in the bay areas road to recovery. Governor newsom ordering businesses to shut down for the second time to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Today in the bays bob redell is live for us this morning. Hes back at the same gym we were reporting yesterday morning. Now im sure that excitement has turned to frustration with the latest news. We spoke to one customer about a half hour ago. In a nutshell he just thought the whole thing,his words, was dumb. Im quoting him for the fact the gym will have to shut down tomorrow here in downtown san jose. Its been whiplash. Put the time and money no making sure they are following the safety guidelines to reopen. Because of the rising cases of covid19, Governor Newsom announced all indoor operations and places like restaurants, wineries, movie theaters must close and counties like contra costa on the states watch list must close places like gyms and nail and hair salons. The owners of citrus in martinez cant believe this is happening. She tells us she spent 13 weeks during the initial shutdown making her salon covid safe, installing plexiglas dividers, even invested in a touchless checkout system before getting the green light to reopen three weeks ago. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around how covid could be spreading here when were taking all the precautions were taking. Its scary and sad for the business. Its nothing in comparison to human life. Reporter Alameda County put the kibosh on Outdoor Dining because of the increase. It couldnt have come at a worst time. The city just restriped park street to give pedestrians more space to windowshop and dine outdoors. They will ask for a variance, permission to allow the county Health Officer to hand pick which activities can safely continue. Reporting live in downtown san jose, bob redell, today in the bay. Its frustrating. I saw the coowner on social media mad yesterday, not at the governor, but the people not wearing the masks, not doing the social distancing to keep the virus down. Thank you, bob. We want to get right to those numbers. More than 1,100 new cases reported across the bay area and nine new deaths. That brings the total number to 646. The First Federal execution in 17 years has just been carried out in indiana. Convicted of killing a family of three in 1996. The Supreme Court late last night cleared the way for the execution by lethal injection. The court also cleared the way for the scheduled executions of three other federal inmates. The tellall book written by President Trumps niece, mary trump, actually hits store shelves today. The title is too much and never enough how my family created the wrlds most dangerous man. A judge lifted the temporary restraining order. The book paints the president has a habitual liar and inept businessman. Decision 2020 and a run why have republican primary in alabama putting former senator Jeff Sessions and former auburn coach tommy tuberville. President trump has endorsed him. As california and other states shut back down dr. Anthony fauci is optimistic even though hes at odds with the white house after sounding the alarm. The first warning during the fire side chat, dr. Fauci says the nation is in a new crisis now because it did not shut down entirely earlier. He says, quote, we have not begun to see the end. End quote. We can still turn the tide. I am really confident we can if we step back. You dont necessarily need to shut down again. Pull back and then proceed in a very prudent way. Dr. Fauci closing says closing back down like california is doing now and then reopening will be tough, but he says it can slow the spread of the virus. Happening today for you an update on californias efforts to get testing resources to those most in need. A shortage of supplies led to limited testing with the state setting a modest goal of 8,000 tests by the end of march. Testing now surpasses 1,000 per day. They say it will give a status update later today. A lot of School Districts are trying to nail down what their plans will be for the fall with classes resuming about a month from now. They will discuss the recent recommendations to reopen with Distance Learning. Also Santa Clara Union schools will inform parents about their plans to also have Distance Learning in schools. In santa rosa schools in the north bays largest district are looking at three options including resuming with 100 Distance Learning. District leaders plan to make a final decision next week depending on infection rates. Berkeley School Superintendent will recommend beginning the school year with Distance Learning as well. The plan is to ramp up slowly with improved remote programs. Thats until a decrease in cases over a 14 day period happens. The first day of school is august 17th. Workers in San Francisco affected by the pandemic may get extra protections. An emergency ordinance would make it illegal for businesses to fire, threaten or punish a worker who requests time off for testing positive or quarantining after being exposed. It would ban employers for requiring testing even before extending a job offer. A quick followup for you in the south bay. The crews fire destroyed a building, burned 150 acres. It started about ten days ago. Dry conditions didnt help. A little cooling trend headed our way, right, kari . Right. We are also seeing some fog which is increasing the humidity. As we head over to foster city well check out our temperature trend for the morning. If youre going to be going out expect it to start out in the upper 50s here and a slow warmup as we keep our comfortable air today here along the peninsula as well as some of our inland areas. Looking at the pollen count looking good here as well. Low for tree, grass, mold pollen. Much better for us allergy sufferers. Well talk about whats ahead in the forecast coming up. Mike, whats going on right now for the morning commute . What were seeing better news for the trivalley, stick with the explanation as we look at the map. Now it youre at home right now as youre probably watching us by the time you get to the dublin interchange things will be different. The crash south 680 cleared at sunol boulevard a short time ago. We have a quick recovery but still have the backup off stone ridge and that will continue to lessen. But also west 580 is jammed through the dublin interchange. The earlier crash i believe moving to the shoulder there is the reason why theres more slowing and more heading there. Everything else is clear including the bay bridge toll plaza right now.

An english pub owner has come up with a way to keep thirsty customers distant. Shocking is right, marcus. Check this out. Its called a star inn in cornwa cornwall. Theyve installed an electric fence to provide servers. Social distancing remains mandatory and with an electric fence it certainly will keep people away. Wow. Let you know when youve had too much. You cant keep your balance and distance, you will know. Come back with a perm. Lets get a look at the forecast. Today will be a good hair day. Im just guessing this because it will be cooler. Am i right . You dont have to worry about that. We have some low humidity for the bay area once again. As we take a live look outside in the south bay, this shot from the san jose foothills. As we start out this morning we are going to have a mostly clear start to the day but some fog near the coast. The fog will keep it cooler with San Francisco reaching into the mid60s. I dont think it will clear from Half Moon Bay today so it stays in the 50s. You head over to palo alto and were warming up into the low 80s. 85 for san jose and some mid to upper 80s for the inland east bay. Check out how hot from the north with clear lake reaching 97 and in santa rosa much cooler, 82 degrees for a high. Lets talk about whats going on out there in the pacific because were still monitoring what we call the blob, some warm water out there thats been sitting in one area. That hasnt had too much of an effect on our weather but as we look at what else may be developing as you head further down closer to the pacific and the equator, we are seeing some cooling waters there for sea surface temperatures, some slight cooling which can drive the storm track further to the north. So what were monitoring here, the slight cooldown creating a weak la nina as we are going to see this developing possibly into a la nina over the next couple of months. What it relates to is the slightly above normal rainfall as we head into our water year. Southern california, so thats something well be monitoring the potential development of a la nina which means cool water and the pacific which could impact our rainfall. It has been hot. Were still above normal but enjoying a bit of a cooldown with upper 80s for our inland valleys. Restart to heat back up. San francisco no changes. Were looking at more 60s all throughout the forecast. Mike, have you seen any changes for that commute . Yes, we have good improvement for the trivalley. The problem was it started off pretty badly at 3 00 a. M. With a crash on 680. Looking at the map that crashed caused more of a backup. The Ripple Effect 84 westbound through livermore, more traffic. Highway 84 to get rid of the backup on 680 as well as the backup thats still there. I showed you that near the dublin interchange. There was another crash causing backup at san ramon road that has also cleared. The stretch that was slow very quick recovery there. More traffic now heading down 680 toward fremont without any problem. 580 recovering at the dublin interchange. The south bay shows a little build but not enough to move the sensors out and to the bay bridge, get through a little slowing in richmond. When youre at the toll plaza itself, the live look shows you there are no problems and no issues. Just folks tapping the brakes in the middle lanes right on schedule. Back to you. 6 21 right now.
