It was theres a shooter at this location where there wasnt a shooter at that location. Reporter as investigators continue their probe, foxconn firms two months before sundays massacre, a man named Stephen Paddock believed to be the gunman booked a hotel room in chicago overlooking the site where another Music Festival, lollapalooza, was taking place. But paddock didnt show up in chicago. This as another news report citing Law Enforcement sources says the gunman appears to have researched possible attack locations in boston, specifically hotels around bostons fenway park. Now police in both boston and chicago say they are investigating. Were aware of the media reports, but because its an ongoing investigation, im not going to speak any more to it than that. Reporter investigators confirmed wednesday that paddock previously rented another room in las vegas in september around the time the life is beautiful alternative Music Festival was taking place. Paddock rented a room at the ogden hotel in downtown las vegas. Because of all of these added layers and these other cities and all of the planning that apparently went into this the sheriff here in las vegas has now openly questioned whether paddock had help. What are authorities saying about an autopsy on paddock . There was no confirmation of an autopsy or what they found. The coroner says they have gone through all the bodies and identified everyone. They are now contacting the families. But he says the shooter is an important part of the investigation and wouldnt go into details. Did they go into any more details about him trying to survive this sunday night attack . Reporter they are keeping that close to the vest. We dont know why they they, um, think that. That is a huge thing. And very different than what weve seen from most mass killers. Most of these guys go in knowing they are going to die. Now, in the end, he did take his life. He saw that people were closing in within 12 minutes. They were up on the 32nd floor closing in trying to take him down. He did take a handgun and put it in his mouth and end his life but why he had this plan to escape, no details yet. A long way to go in this investigation. Caroline shively in las vegas, thank you. Today the National Rifle Association Says they support a move to regulate bump stocks. Those devices are legal and allow the user to convert a semiautomatic rifle into a gun that fires just like a fully automatic weapon. Authorities say the gunman in las vegas used the bump stocks as he shot the crowd outside his hotel room sunday night. House Speaker Paul Ryan and the white house also said that they are open to new regulations on bump stocks. We certainly welcome that would like to be part of that conversation. And we would like to see a clear understanding of the facts. Many more things members want to do and were saying, how do we save the most lives . We save the most lives with a background check. The nra is reportedly pushing to regulate bump stocks through federal regulations rather than a new law that democrats say that regulations are enough to close the loophole. In the meantime, some of the countrys biggest gun sellers including walmart have voluntarily stopped selling the devices but in stores where bump stocks are still for sale, there are reports that they are selling out. Our coverage continues on the massacre in las vegas at 5 30. Well talk with ken wayne, who just returned from there and get his thoughts on what he saw and felt. Two big events are coming to the bay area this weekend. Security will be on the mind of thousands who go to San Francisco for fleet Week Celebrations and the hardly strictly bluegrass in Golden Gate Park. But organizers for both shows say the shows will go on. The Music Festival will draw more than 500,000 people. That threeday event sparked security concerns in the wake of the shooting rampage in las vegas. Ktvus Tara Moriarty tells us what local Law Enforcement officers have planned. Reporter its a casual free family event, the hardly strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park. But this year [ automatic gunfire ] reporter new security concerns have arisen in light of the Las Vegas Shooting at an outdoor Music Festival that left 59 people dead. Since the Las Vegas Shooting, we are definitely putting other measures our department as a whole has, um, has done a lot of, um, increased patrols. Reporter hardly strictly bluegrass is expected to draw nearly 250,000 people each day at the threeday run and because there is no natural perimeter for hellmann hollow, lindley or marks meadows, there will be no security checkpoints. Although we dont have checkpoints for bags, um, we are going to, you know, if there is a um, a bag thats unattended, you know, obviously were going to make sure that people are safe. Did have some really negative thoughts that, you know, the world is floating. Reporter but laurie and ken visiting from florida say they wont let what happened in vegas dictate their lives. I dont want to put my life on hold and do anything differently. Reporter he says that includes attending largescale public events. Whether im home, out in the neighborhood, at big public events, just have an awareness of whats around you, where are exits, whats security and where isnt security. Like walking down a lit street as opposed to a dark street. Reporter police say the security catch phrase of the weekend is, if you see something, say something. No hard alcohol or glass will be allowed in the venue, but you can bring your own beer and wine. Cameras are allowed but no tripods or heavy equipment. Rideshare dropoff and pickup will be 30th and balboa. Mass transit is encouraged. Tara moriarty, ktvu fox 2 news. The blue angels are back here in the bay area. It was the best sound all day long. Reporter they roared over the bay area today as they practiced for this weekend. The blue angels use an f a18 fighter jet near the centerpiece of fleet week. In some cases, when they are performing, the jets are less than 2 feet apart. Three of the blue angels pilots performing this weekend are from the bay area and we caught up with a Navy Lieutenant commander who is from danville. He says its a special treat to be able to fly in front of a hometown crowd. Yeah. Its absolutely incredible. Fleet week has always been a special time in San Francisco. That has never changed. City opens its arms to any sailor and marine out in the streets and they love it. They feel at home. The blue angels are set to kick off their performances tomorrow at 3 00. They will be performing with a number of other aerial teams including the canadian militarys snowbirds and a crowd favorite, the u. S. Navy leapfrogs. If you want to get a great view, go to the waterfront by crissy field or fishermans wharf. They will be performing right there in front of you. Ah, the blue angels are always exciting to see in action. There are a lot of things fascinating things about the pilots and the planes that a lot people dont know. Ktvus tom vacar is here. Tom, you have been covering them for years. They fly 18 inches apart. Thats unbelievable. Part of the control system is specifically designed with some springs so that they can fly that close together without jostling the plane too much because thats a very dangerous space to have planes that close together but the actual stick is different than you have in the combat airplanes because they want to be able to more precisely fly the aircraft without making some sort of mistake. Thats one of things a lot people dont know. The other thing is many of these aircraft are older than the pilots flying them. Those planes have been around for 31 years. The youngest one is 20 years old, the oldest 31. And in a couple of years they will be replaced by an advanced version of the same gelled called a super hornet and that aircraft will be coming on board in 2019. They look pretty much the same. They are a little larger and have more capability but that familiar design that we have seen for so many years. The longest the blue angels have ever flown of this aircraft they have flown is this group now. Will they still be able to get low to the crowd, really close together do you think . Oh, absolutely. In fact, these aircraft have far greater performance so they will be able to do more thrilling things. Now, a lot of people wonder, well, you know, is this just a bunch of show stuff . And to a certain extent, it is. The whole idea came back after world war ii as they were cutting budgets an admiral wanted a Demonstration Team to explain to people the values of aviation and not get the budget cut so much so they have been doing this for 71 years. This is a very old group one of the oldest in the world. And, um, these aircraft as i say were first line fighters. In the event of a war where we needed those aircraft, they would have to be made ready in 72 hours. They take the aerial performance equipment out and put the gun systems back in it. And then they take them to a paint shop and 72 hours later they would be ready for combat in an emergency. Back in 1987 i get to fly with the blue angels and i remember we were going down the runway. He said stand by, stands by, pull. You grab two metal bars and go whoo and the plane just goes up like that. When we were doing real serious g is what they would tell us to do is growl. I was just amazed at how how nimble the plane s its like being in a ferrari in the middle of the air. Reporter in a combat situation they where g suits. They have blooders in them that squeeze your legs and lower abdomen so your blood doesnt rush up. They wanted you to tense your muscle so that doesnt happen. But blue angels dont fly with g suits. They are superbly trained and conditioned athletic people and thats one of the reasons they are able to do this. They dont fly the g suits and the reason is because they are bulky enough that they would retard the control of the aircraft to do these kinds of maneuvers and they dont want to have anything to do with that. One final note. This is a very dangerous profession. There have been 262 pilots in the history of the blue angels. And 27 of them, more than 10 , have died in practice or in the shows. So it is a very high danger thing and thats simply because when youre 30,000 feet, theres a lot of stuff you can do to right the airplane or at least get out of it. When youre down at 200 feet, theres no margin for error. Very dangerous and, quickly, very expensive and its on the taxpayer. How much do the shows cost . Millions. But the way it works is, and people should understand this, if these pilots werent doing that, they would be out over the ocean or they would be out over a desert somewhere doing much the same stuff, more combat style but they would be doing this anyhow. They need to center these hours and proficiency and theres not lost. They need to have these hours and proficiency. Some people complain but i can tell you something, what they do, they are doing for the public to demonstrate the capabilities and i think the only thing that the sponsors have to pay for is the fuel. Tom, thank you. Well, thousands of hungry Homeless People who came to st. Anthonys dining room today received a special surprise. The people serving the meal today are actively serving in the marines or navy. About 35 servicemen and women are in San Francisco as we just heard for fleet week. And volunteered to spend time helping out today. We caught up with one marine who is based at Camp Pendleton in san diego. And she told us she just wanted to help. It comes for why we even join the military in the first place. We wanted to be able to give back to the people but we cant always have an opportunity to actually have that opportunity to give back. So a lot of us were excited to get an opportunity to do this. Ironically, many of the very people they are serving are veterans. Today was a chance for them to share stories with those currently in the military. This is the third year that active Service Members have come to st.

This is the second case to be dismissed this week. Whats going on. Reporter Defense Attorneys say this is all political that authorities rushed to judgment without enough evidence to back it up. Its a big blow to the Alameda County d. A. Reporter Oakland Police officer Giovanni Loverde a married father is no longer facing felony charges of having sex with a minor. On thursday Alameda County prosecutors dismissed the case. The reason, a day before a judge dropped the case involving former Contra Costa County sheriffs Deputy Ricardo perez. Bow loverde and perez have been accused of having sex with Jasmine Abuslin while she was under age. Perez denies knowing she was a minor and last month the same judge said there was insufficient evidence to prosecute former oakland officer brian bunton for allegedly engaging in a sex act with abuslin. Michael cardoza is ktvus legal analyst and represents officer loverde. He says his client never met abuslin. Why did they not know there was insufficient evidence when they filed this case . They had done all their investigation. But yet they made political hay out of this, went on television said they were going after opd cops, and now look whats happening. Reporter Alameda County d. A. Nancy omalley said theres different interpretations of the law involving the crimes she charged and that she will appeal. In a statement, she also said we are always mindful of how difficult it has been for the victim in these matters to testify in open court about her exploitation and we made todays decision in close consultation with her. Her Attorney Says she testified reluctantly against perez and bunton. He said he is not disappointed that the cases have been dropped. [ indiscernible ] its enough the officers conduct was exposed. They either lost their jobs or had their representations severely tarnished. Reporter as of today, officer loverde is still employed by Oakland Police. Live in the newsroom, henry lee, ktvu fox 2 news. Were tracking a Tropical Storm but it will soon be a hurricane and make landfall in the florida area as we head into the weekend. So very rapid intensification of what was just a Tropical Storm. It wasnt even a Tropical Storm yesterday. It was just a depression. Heres the track on this. Were looking at a Tropical Storm. It becomes a cat1 on saturday and moves onshore near new orleans perhaps as a cat1 hurricane mainly a big rain event. So well be tracking that for you. Its a big story. They have had a lot of activity out there. These are the highs we have had around parts of the bay area today. The red flag warning will go into effect not the next couple of days but into sunday and monday as the winds pick up more. It will warm a little each day. But as the winds pick up, sunday night into monday, that red flag warning will go into effect for the north and east bay hills. The winds will gust to 55 miles an hour. Thats a bad fire condition for sure. So theres the fog along the coast thats gradually been eroding pretty much all day. It started off pretty vigorous this morning, and then just has been sort of skimming away from the coast and i suspects by sunset, most of that fog will be gone and pushed further offshore. Should see no fog tomorrow, hence warmer forecasts right along the coast. Current temperatures these are warmer temperatures so thats the general trend is for a warmup into friday, saturday. Saturday and sunday will be the warmest days. Theres a beautiful shot of the Golden Gate Bridge and we have had fog trying to form at the headlands. We saw some about 20 minutes ago forming here but fog is real puffy just going back and forward and the winds are scouring the fog away. So fog becoming less of an issue. Winds die down overnight tonight. And it gets chilly. Overnight lows tonight, i mean, its been chilly but its going to be down into the mid30s in some of the cooler outlying areas. So get ready for another cold start to your friday morning. San francisco starts off clear and cool. Lunchtime in san jose, up to 77 degrees. And then as you get into the afternoon, san jose taps out at 87 degrees. That is the warmest day of the week most likely for san jose. When i come back well have the longrange forecast and the weekend. A clerical error lets a suspected armed robber out of jail. It took a week to see he was gone but it didnt take long to catch him because he went on social media. More trouble for administrators of the Santa Clara County jail system. This after an inmate being held for Armed Robbery was accidentally released a week ago. Ktvus jesse geary has more now on that mistake and the series of missteps by the convict that led to his re arrest just hours ago. Reporter david lopez is back behind bars at the main Santa Clara County jail after enjoying a week of freedom due to a clerical mistake. Anytime Something Like this happens, it is a concern. We dont take matters like this likely. It is unacceptable. Reporter he says the mistake happened around 7 45 at night, september 28th, when a civilian clerk received paperwork releasing lopez from the elmwood correctional facility. He had served his time for grand theft, was cleared to go. But the clerk didnt notice additional concurrent paperwork for a conviction for Armed Robbery which included pistol whipping the victim. Lopez was sentenced to 8 years in state prison for that crime but because the clerk didnt see the second set of paperwork, no one noticed the inmate was gone until a week later when he was scheduled for transport. The discovery sparked an immediate search. We notified all of our executive staff, our detectives, and they immediately started a search for the inmate. Reporter even though lopez considered armed and dangerous had a weeks head start, the search that began around 7 00 in the morning was over about 4 hours later. Investigators say their big break in the case came courtesy of lopez himself who took to social media posting selfies at stores and restaurants that he had been frequenting. He was arrested at an East San Jose golf course. This is the second major gaff recording inmates out of jail prematurely for the beleaguered county jail system in as many years. Reporter last november, two inmates used tools to cut through jail bars and then went down bed blankets to street level and escaped. Campbell and chavez were caught a week later. Sheriffs Department Officials say the clerk who signed off on david lopezs release is subject to corrective action. Anytime you have an inmate who is released who potentially has charged, convicted of violent charges, thats something that we take great care with and that we want to make sure that we protect the public. Reporter administrators may implement additional safeguards to prevent a repeat of this mistake which ends with lopez back in a cell and possibly facing additional charges. In the san jose studio, jesse gary, ktvu fox 2 news. Coming up after the break, the latest on the investigation into that mass shooting in las vegas. Also, we are going to talk to ktvus ken wayne about what it was like actually being in las vegas the last couple of days covering the story. Another curfew broken at levis stadium. What residents really think and why a political war of words continues. And a new way to recycle in San Francisco. The changes to those recycling bins and what you can put inside them. Woman so, greg, its a lot to take in. Woman 2 and i know thats hard to hear, but the doctors caught it early. Hi, blake my dad has cancer. Woman and i know how hard that is to hear. But youre in the right place. Man and dr. Pascal and her team, they know what to do. They know what to do. The doctors know what to do. So heres the plan. First off, were going to give you all. voice fading away there are reports that the gunman in the Las Vegas Shooting may have scouted other locations including Music Festivals in boston and chicago. A Law Enforcement official says Stephen Paddock booked a room at a Downtown Chicago hotel back in august overlooking the site of the lollapalooza festival. There are also reports that he may have been looking into hotels near fenway park. Police in chicago say they are beefing up security for the 40th annual chicago marathon, which is this sunday. Obviously take an event, whether its boston, paris or in this case vegas, and then you triple check, and double check and triplecheck everything youve done and ask some fundamental reviews and this will be going on all the way until the runners start lining up at the start line. Authorities said the weekend before the massacre, paddock rented a room in a highrise in downtown las vegas during the life is beautiful Music Festival. Investigators are also looking into the possibility that he planned additional attacks including a car bombing. And at this point, his motive remains unknown. Ktvus ken wayne joins us now. He just got back from las vegas. You were there for a couple of days. But this afternoon, you got a chance to talk to three friends, a friends of stacee etcheber. She didnt make it out there was. Stacee, roxanne and joan who were close with stacee and amazing women and they have a big job ahead of them because theres two Young Children a 12yearold girl and 10year old boy who dont have a mother. And so they have to step in and they are doing what they can to support those children. Incredibly difficult for that family and everyone who knew her. How do they say the family and especially her kids are doing right now . Well, you know, her husband was is a San Francisco police officer. And he has the job now of really taking care of those two children but they have tremendous support. The entire San Francisco Police Department community, the community of novato and they are just telling me its spread beyond that. The entire bay area, they feel like, is looking out for those two children and doing whatever they can to help them. They say they have amazing support. And they are very grateful for that. You got to las vegas the day after the shooting. What was it like being there, and is there something that stand out to you . Well, i think the generosity and kindness of people in the aftermath of something so terrible. I mean, everyone was pretty numb in las vegas. There really was kind of a sense of shock the entire community was was stunned. As we all were. But they really rallied around there were people driving around to various memorial locations, making memorial locations, bringing freshwater and ice, people doing anything they could to help and as we talked about all the hotels opened up for victims families to come to stay for free. Airlines were offering free flights. The community outpouring was amazing. The lines that stretched for hours and hours who donate blood. So when we go to las vegas, we just think of the entertainment and what were going to do and have a good time. You dont think of it as a community where people live and work and play 24 7. These people will have to live with this forever and they dont want this to identify this with last and mark them in some way. This investigation is massive. They are going through so much evidence and so many different complex levels. When we hear just today that maybe he had been to different cities like boston and chicago that maybe he was casing out or we really dont know why he was there, maybe training himself, doing test runs or something. What are you thoughts on that as we learn more about what was in this mans mind . Reporter i think its incredibly frightening to think of the possible outcome that could lie ahead for all of us. I have a friend who lives in new york city. And he said what if somebody was in a highrise over times square . I mean, these are the kinds of sad things that we would never want to talk about before but now its a new reality. And we have to learn how were going to address this. I think i have been i have been hearing that hotels in las vegas are looking at instituting the kind of baggage security that they have in israel where all bags now will be screened with metal detectors before they go into the hotel. So theres a lot of changes, security changes, that are being talked about now. What happens well have to see. But this wont be the last one of the thats what is so sad about this. This will not be the last attack. Thats whats so sad about this. We didnt know anything about this man. Theres nothing they can find on computers. They dont know of anyone who helped him. So really someone who was under the radar with no criminal past suddenly turns around and does something so evil. Makes you wonder about a change in tactics by terrorists because we have been so reliant on social media to track these people down, learn about what their history is and their motives and connections with other people all through the internet. If somebody stays off the grid and they are not online, its really hard the Old School Way of trying to track somebody down, thats problematic. There was a lot of security at the festival but it never occurred to them that there would be a guy up on the 32nd floor with thousands of rounds of ammunitions firing down on the crowd, one officer told me. Reporter the bad guys leap ahead to new ways. Thats what happened in this case. Just a sad reality i think of where we are right now. Sure is. Unfortunately as a country. Ken, thank you. One couple who attended sunday nights concert now has a new baby. She was several days past due when she attended the festival with her boyfriend and brother. Two days after running to safety, she gave birth to this boy. He is 20 inches long and weighs 9 pounds. She says he is the reason to be optimistic about the future. Just definitely thankful that Nothing Happened worse to either one of us where we couldnt be here for him. Her brother was hit in the shoulder by a bullet but doctors say he will okay.

[ music ] lets sing together. [ music ] the coldplay concert last night at levis stadium went way past the 10 p. M. Curfew. The band played until 11 00 last night. Fans loved it. Some people who live near the stadium werent happy. Ktvus Maureen Naylor talked to neighbors and the mayor about the curfew controversy. Reporter it was no surprise that coldplay broke the curfew last night here at levis stadium. While the concert is over the political war of words continues about how late events should be allowed to go here. [ music ] reporter with lights and wristbands for concertgoers, coldplay rocked levis stadium wednesday night to a soldout crowd of 45,000 people. But behind this production, a drama of a different kind is playing out. They definitely had an issue with the traffic or the noise or the fireworks or, you know, their windows being shook, their houses being shook. Reporter this Council Member lives near the stadium and heard those complaints from neighbors. This neighbor who lives across the street didnt mind the concert running until 11 p. M. If you like music, it doesnt bother you. But if its a band you dont like, some people will get annoyed. But i think the larger problem is more the airplanes and helicopters that fly. Reporter coldplay marks the third concert to go over the 10 p. M. Weekday curfew as didu2 and others last year. The weekday concerts bring in 800,000 each half going to the citys general fund. He supports the 49ers who want the curfew extended for up to fourweek day concerts aer. What we approve and campaigned on was the economic benefits of the stadium and the stadium is doing exactly what we approved. But the appointed mayor has the political vendetta, she likes kabuki theater type of drama. Reporter the mayor said reporter the 49ers say ed sheeran canceled a performance because of the curfew. And in a statement, the 49ers president said reporter the new city manager in a few weeks is expected to bring a plan to the council to survey all santa clara residents and some in sunnyvale and san jose about stadiumrelated issues including traffic and noise. I think they need to have more of a background in terms of enforcement. Reporter the city now plans to issue the 750 fine to the Stadium Management for breaking curfew and in the meantime, there are no plans for any other weekday concerts. At levis stadium in santa clara, Maureen Naylor, ktvu fox 2 news. San francisco and oakland top a list they dont want to be on. I know streets in mexico that are better than these. If you drive you know what he is talking about but things are changing in oakland. The fullcourt press thats making the streets smoother. And San Francisco is already one of the nations leaders in recycling programs. But now theres a new program to recycle even more. Changes are on the way to the recycling program in San Francisco introducing upgrades to help residents and businesses recycle even more. The Citys Department of environment is introducing bigger blue recycling bins and smaller waste bins. Residents can now recycle empty coffee cups, milk cartons, juice boxes and Ice Cream Containers among other items. Plastic can be recycled as long as all the plastic is put into one plastic bag then placed inside though the blue bins. We are making it easier to do the right thing. Were making it easier to save resources. Were making it easier to protect the climate. And we need everyones help. The new bins are in use now in the sunset district and will be rolled out across the city over the next two years. But all residents can immediately use their blue bins differently. The city says its hoping to have zero waste in San Francisco by the year 2020. Its good to be number one but not in this case. According to the Transportation Research group trip, oakland and San Francisco have the worst roads anywhere in the country. So whats the city to do . Get busy. Frank mallicoat tells us thats exactly what oakland is doing. Reporter potholes are a nasty byproduct of last winter and city of oakland is in the middle of a fullcourt press to fill em up. I know streets in mexico that are better than the one on east 18th between 35th and 34th. You needed a fourwheel drive. Reporter thanks to a bond measure 25 million is poured in to improve oaklands infrastructure. Only two miles of city streets have been repaved and this most recent threeweek pothole blitz covered up over 2700 potholes. That means we are on track to hit an alltime record in the city of oakland of filling 20,000 potholes in the year 2017. Reporter nearly half of oaklands 800 miles of streets need attention. And the quicker the repair, the more the city saves. City councilman noel gallo says his district sees at least 2 lawsuits a month from cars broken down and injuries from shoddy streets. I would rather take that money and invest it to fix the road or fix the sidewalk as opposed to just being sued, you know, every time i show up at council. Reporter some of the potholes here in oakland are measured in feet. That is a big one. As for the mayor, libby schaaf, she says this whole pothole blitz thing is rather personal, as well. Did your car see a pothole or two . You should see the street i have to drive to get to my house.

Phil keating, fox news. Every time we see pictures up in space, bill, i just its amazing how clear they are. Isnt that crazy . Looks like you could have taken it next door. I know. The hubble telescope, when they put it up there theres no atmosphere so the visibility is forever. If you can crack some light. Theres no particulate in the air so you can see forever so thats why those pictures are so vibrant. I love that, too. Its amazing. I can remember back when john glenn and those guys first went up and started take pictures when we were little kids. [ crosstalk ] so we have a Tropical Storm now. Its nate. Soon to be most likely a cat1 hurricane. It developed quickly. Its going to we noticed it yesterday. Well, yesterday morning as just a run of the mill cloud mass that developed rapidly and then into a tropical depression then into a Tropical Storm which it is now. Then potentially into a cat1 hurricane on saturday, potentially hitting new orleans on sunday. Thats rapid development. Thats really something. Well keep an eye on that. It would be a category 1 in that area and it would most likely if its not a cat1, it would be a Tropical Storm. It will most likely be a big rain event. For us, nothing about rain. Its all about red flag warnings sunday and monday and maybe beyond next week. Well have high fire danger days coming up. Flight delays in chicago and st. Louis so be ready for that and then this weekend, because of nate, be ready potentially for some flight delays down towards new orleans, right, and, um, up towards atlanta. Um, heres the jet stream. Theres that big ridge of High Pressure built in. Thats creating these surface winds which are blowing out of the north yeah, theyre kind of north. Thats a little bit northwest. But theyre starting to clock. An as they clock around, they will clock around further tomorrow more northeasterly and that will warm things up and scour the fog away and set us up with a nice weekend. Its warmer than yesterday. Fleet week, the Bluegrass Festival, lot of people coming into San Francisco. There shouldnt be a whiff of fog, which is not always the case as you all know. Overnight lows will be chilly as they have been. Kids going to school, they are noticing it, you notice it when you go to work, mid30s in some of the cooler spots. The forecast highs for friday, reds are 90. There you go. As you look at some more temperatures, theres that 90 in fairfield. 88 in concord. I think well see lots of upper 80s and some low 90s. Heres the fiveday forecast. I love those picture, too, frank, when you see this blue speck, the earth, and then just darkness all around it and you realize how vast how tiny we are. And how vast the universe is out there. Endless. Bill, thank you. Would you pay money to be able to drive in a carpool lane regardless of how many people you have in your car . Transportation experts betting you will. The longawaited change on one of the bay areas busiest highways starts in a matter of days. Okay. So seriously watch this. A daredevil pushed the limit in london today. Travis did a backflip on a motorcycle between two barges, unreal, floating 75 feet apart on the river thames. He had just 150 feet to get up to speed before jumping and only 36 feet to hit the brakes on the other end. There it is again. Crazy. Thats just mindboggling. Wow. Crazy. He competed in the x games. He became a driver for nascar recently. But listen to this, he has broken more than 90 bones and he had 25 concussions over the course of his career. Wow. Unbelievable. [ laughter ] a new commute era is just about to begin. It sure is. Express lanes are opening up on the 680 corridor. Ktvus tom vacar shows us where those lanes will be and how they will work. Reporter monday morning the express lanes from san ramon to walnut creek will begin on 680. They will operate from 5 a. M. To 8 p. M. Monday through friday, carpoolers, motorcycles and clean air vehicles will pay no toll. Single passengers will be able to use the lanes for a fee. Everybody using the lane will need to have a fastrak tollfree. You need a flex tag to go free. Reporter they have three point switches, one for solo, two for two passengers and three for three or more passengers. Cheaters beware. That activates a beacon along the roadway that the chp can see. And chp will then confirm that there are two or more people in the vehicle or otherwise qualifies for tollfree travel. Reporter a computer determines your price based on the actual congestion at the time you enter the express lane. As congestion increases, so too will the price in the toll lane and as congestion falls, the price will fall. Reporter unlike other express lanes such as those on the 580, which have a maximum price cap, this one will not are. I guess if somebody is willing to pay the price as long as it doesnt jam up the hov lane. I think they will take the money and use it for that train. [ laughter ] so if they were truly going to use it for what it was being raised for, maybe. But im not real trusting that it will happen that way. I probably will never use them. Reporter but in this well to do corridor, many will. Between this corridor you have a lot of people who will use it because they dont care because they have enough expendable income to pay the streaks to get out of the hassling of being in the other lanes. Reporter they will be placed bay area wide for the next 18 years. You can learn how to exchange your current fastrak transponder for a fastrak flex online. Tom vacar, ktvu fox 2 news.
