Not so much, but we have a lot going on here. Bigger fog bank today, no doubt about it. Yet the air aloft you can find mid 80s up up around 2500ft or so. So thats putting a cap on this fog. I mean, its making a bigger push but 5060s on the temps we also have some high and midlevel clouds coming in. Other than that, its pretty quiet day, but i would expect temperatures for a majority to come down here. 60, 70, 80, still inland. Temps into some 90s with another round of possibility. Partly cloudy skies later this afternoon and isolated showers. All right. Sals here. San mateo bridge or somewhere else. This time. Yeah, we do have some slow traffic on the bay bridge. And we also do have some traffic on the san mateo bridge. Ill show you the bay bridge first. You can see that traffic is moving along. Okay. If you are driving in this area here, you wont see any major problems on the bridge. But you will see some slow traffic at the toll plaza. Highway four has slowing. This has been very routine. Steve mentioned the san mateo bridge. It looks pretty routine heading out to the high rise and to the peninsula 701. Lets go back to the desk. Thank you, sal. Were monitoring the developing story in the south bay where San Jose Police officer remains hospitalized after she was shot. Reporting to a call. Ktvu reporter Bailey Ocarroll is at Santa Clara Valley medical center. With what we know about what happened and how the officers doing. Bailey hey, allie, good morning. Thats right. This officer is being treated here in san jose this morning at this hospital right behind me. Now, according to police, she is in critical, but stable condition. They have not released her name yet this morning. What we do know is that she was shot when she was responding to a domestic disturbance call with her partner here in san jose. Now, i do want to show you this man, 44 year old gabriel carreras, is who officers who police say shot that officer after a four hour long standoff with police. He was taken into custody. Cabreras wife told police that he was drunk. He busted open a bathroom door and then she accused him of trying to hit her. She did call police to report this incident around 820 on wednesday morning, san joses police chief called the suspect a coward who should never have had a gun. Carreras has an extensive criminal history and was on felony probation in Santa Clara County. Less than 30s after arriving, one of the officers attempted to call up to the front door balcony and announced announce themselves as San Jose Police officers. The suspect exited onto the balconies, landing and from a position of concealment discharge a firearm striking our officer. Now, according to the chief, the officer was shot in her upper body outside of where her bulletproof vest covers. Neither officer returned fire, but her partner actually pulled her to safety and then began attending to her injuries there at the scene. Now, this year, this is the second time a Police Officer here in san jose has been shot in the line of duty. This marks the First Time Ever here that a female Police Officer was shot in the line of duty. Reporting live in san jose, im Bailey Ocarroll, ktvu fox two news. All right, bailey thank you. Time 703 in San Francisco. So concerned Community Members gathered at a very busy intersection where a four Year Old Girl was killed. Her father was seriously hurt. This week, the crowd gathered at fourth and king streets. Thats where the little girl and her parents were crossing the street tuesday evening when a car hit them. Balloons and flowers were placed at a street light. Its an emotional time for many. We wanted to hold space. We want to definitely have a place for people to come to grieve, to hear, to hear whats happening and to be present. Interview with each other at this point, no information about the family has been released. The police are saying the driver, 71 year old karen cartagena, was arrested and shes facing three charges of failure to yield to a pedestrian and also vehicular homicide. If you say theres no sign of drugs or alcohol is being a factor in this crash, this is the 11th traffic death in San Francisco so far this year. Both police and neighborhood safety groups say this is an especially dangerous intersection with traffic rushing to get on or off interstate 80. And pedestrians going to caltrain or to oracle park for sports events. This has happened before. Crashes are happening here all the time. And so those are the streets that need the most aggressive treatments by the city to really make it possible for someone to cross the street safely, reduce the lanes. No turn on red. So theres just reducing all kinds of opportunities for conflict. Now, the speed limit at that intersection, 35 miles an hour, but people walking in the area say they never see drivers going that slow. Emergency responders in San Francisco will hold an earthquake drill on Treasure Island today starting at 945 this morning. Pga in San Francisco. Firefighters will practice how to respond to a major earthquake. Theyll practice what to do when gas mains are damaged after a magnitude 7. 3 quake. Theyll also practice evacuations and recoveries on the north end of Treasure Island. Our time now, 705, the death toll went up during the night from the deadly wildfire in maui that burned through the town of lahaina. Now there are at least 111 confirmed deaths, but only nine of the victims have been identified. 1300 people are still unaccounted for. Fox weathers robert ray is in maui right now where 20 search and cadaver dog teams are out there searching the burn zones and more remains are expected to be found every day. Robert. Good morning. Yeah, good morning to you from maui here. And indeed, yes. Cadaver dogs as we see this video are out when the sun is up and it will happen again in a few hours, searching through the Historic Town of lahaina. And they are looking for the remains of human beings, souls that are still underneath the rubble or the ashes. 111 people confirmed dead at this point. Officials expecting that number to unfortunately go up. And that town of lahaina, you see the video. It is just destroyed over 90 of the structures are gone as the wildfires swept through there over a week ago. Unfortunately were also seeing local cells get together to try and give each other not only the support and love, but also things like water and food and clothes and diapers for babies, for people that have lost everything. In fact, the Hawaiian Cultural Center in lahaina was burned down during the fire, and the president of that Cultural Center is on the ground trying to help his fellow hawaiians. Lets listen. And a lot of the families that come to our center as a hub, they no longer have homes. Some families that we lost in a fire. So if i dont stay busy and doing nothing that i do, im not going to be able to cope with the situation right now. So thats why i got to stay busy. I got to keep going. I got to hustle as much as we can to make sure that we can ease the pain from our community, knowing that one day terrible pain that everyone here is going through. As you know, the search does continue. As i said, dave, and you know, until that is done, then i dont think that the reality can truly set in in the morning and on top of that, you know, theres answers or the residents want answers for how this all started. Why there wasnt alarms that went off like there would be for hurricanes or other events. And people want to know, you know, what can be done so that this never happens again. So many questions out there right now. President biden will be here this coming monday to tour the damage as again, cadaver dogs will be out when the sun comes up here looking for those swells that lost their lives. Dave. Robert, before you go, im looking at you and i see you out there right now. How is the air out there where you are . Is it difficult to breathe. Fortunately, it is not. And that is a good thing. The fires are are contained, although theres still hot spots that do pop up, but theyre not big enough to contaminate the air at this point. But i can tell you, for those residents that had to some of them jump into the Pacific Ocean to escape those flames and made their way out of the town of lahaina, you can imagine when youre in an inferno or even close to it, that they potentially will have some damage to their lungs and certainly need to take care of themselves in the coming weeks and even months, get themselves checked out again, just a very active situation here still on the island of maui, in particular, lahaina, that Historic Town. Dave. Yeah, thank you for the update. That was robert ray of fox weather. We appreciate you. Thank you for the report. And well continue to watch the continuing coverage of the deadly maui wildfires on fox weather. And dont forget, you can follow roberts journey there in hawaii and get all the latest from the islands. You can download the fox weather app and watch live on your favorite streaming device. Just use your phone. You can scan the qr code right there on your screen or you can go to fox weather. Com and as robert just told you, some of the survivors are angry that mauis emergency siren system wasnt used to warn of the fire danger. The maui Emergency Management chief says he doesnt regret that sirens were not used. He says sirens have only been used for tsunami warnings. And they say people have been taught head to the mountains when they hear the sirens, which would have sent them directly into the flames. However, on the maui county website, it says sirens can be used for other emergencies, including wildfires. Arborists now say lahaina is famous. Banyan tree will likely survive, even though it was badly burned in the maui wildfires. The canopy of the 150 year old tree turned black when the fire roared through the town. But arborists say they are optimistic because the tree is showing signs of life, such as flowing sap crews are now spraying the tree with six truckloads of water every day to help bring it back to life. To me, it seems, though, the fire went over the top and burnt the top of the tree. But the base in the trunk is relatively not damaged in that sense. The banyan tree was imported as a sapling from india and planted in 1873. Its one of the largest of its kind in the world. It has multiple trunks and spans two acres of land. Our time now 711 Climate Change affecting marine life. Ill tell you why. The warmer water means one california species may be on the cusp of a comeback.

Ctvs andre, she joins us live and says Police Believe this was an organized break in and car theft. Andre yeah well allie several customers of the firestone shop here at 28th and broadway in oakland got that call after the thefts were discovered early saturday morning. Now, Anita Waldron received one of those calls at her car, had been stolen. She had dropped off her 2016 subaru at the shop to get some work done the day before. At 730 saturday morning, i got a phone call that said they were sorry. Id asked them about security. Just a few hours before, and she wasnt the only victim either. Thieves had broken into the Firestone Store and taken a total of six cars. They had crashed into the front window. So to get in and then unbolted the roll up door and just drove out with six cars, it would have taken at least six people to drive six cars out. Yeah so that break in was just one of several stores damaged. Saturday morning security video obtained by channel two shows several vehicles in the immediate area were taken and used to ram the walls and doors of other businesses like you saw there. Walton says she watched the video but did not see her car. In fact, she says she has no idea where her car is. She considers it a total loss at this point and is working with her Insurance Company and with firestone to get a replacement vehicle. Now, we contacted firestones Parent Company, which sent us a statement saying in part, quote, safety is our top priority. We became or when we became aware of the situation, we contacted local authorities and worked cooperatively with them as they investigated. Waldron says she considers her car another loss to oaklands growing crime problem that weve seen a lot of lately. Dave. All right, andre, thank you. Time now, 717 with the bay area as big as city has just been named, one of the top places to raise a family. Us news and world report looked at several factors for the list, including the cost of living, average salary and quality of high school educations. With those ratings, san jose came in as the second best city to raise a family number one. Hunter ville, alabama. San jose earned a high ranking for having the best College Readiness among high School Students. No other California City made the top 25 list. 717 and if you are commuting to san jose this morning, Sal Castaneda has an eye on the roads there. Hows it look . It looks pretty good there, ali. And the south bay, if we can start in san jose right now, the commute doesnt look all that slow in most areas. Theres a little slowing on 101 and 280. But again, this is the early part of that commute. That commute tends to get going later. Some commutes that are well underway include the bay bridge that is backed up almost all the way out to the maze and the metering lights are on. There are no major issues here on the bay bridge getting into San Francisco and theres not a lot of crashes involved today on the commute. Its pretty good. We dont see a lot of activity. Highway four does have some slow traffic, 680 as well. And the san mateo bridge is moderate. So i do like that we dont have a lot of crashes to talk about. 718 lets talk about todays weather. Heres steve south. Thank you, sir. Up in the mountains, the moisture continues to take aim up and down the sierra northeast. California northern sacramento valley, Mendocino County up to northwest california. Not a lot of rain, our big borders, but theres been some king near kings beach point, zero seven, truckee, 0. 04, South Lake Tahoe and tahoe keys both with 0. 03 and homewood, picked up 0. 02. So not a lot, but a little bit will keep going about. Were sitting at 83 warm degrees. Ben lomond mountain, 76 at berkeley lab is 57. Mount tamalpais is 78 mile. Diablo 81. Thats warm air aloft. If you need to break that down, need to bring in some cooler air. So the inland temps rio vista, brentwood, livermore start to come down a little bit. I think a majority do. Theres a much bigger fog bank today. 50 in the mountains, truckee, South Lake Tahoe mammoth said 52 degrees. A lot of moisture will continue to work its way up the crest of the sierra and then play into more thunderstorm activity. Numerous fires in northern california. So many lightning strikes, but were on the drier edge for now, although we saw yesterday some development late in the day around Mount Hamilton to the ultima pass. I expect that to continue today. Its all about hillary, though, front and center now. Category one hurricane expected to reach, feeding off 84 degree water temps. I was just looking sandy water temps are around 68 to 70 degrees near average. Mission bay, coronado, o, la jolla, 68 to 70. Thats about average for this time of year. Thats cold water, though, for a hurricane. So as it reaches category four, everything is pointing in that direction. Theres some rapid intensification should reach category four as it gets near to the west of baja, but then its going to encounter some much colder water. You get in the upper 6070s. Its just what track do you believe . I mean, one of them takes it right over us majority, though. Take i
