But last night, a teen was rushed to the hospital after being stabbed twice in the stomach. The roll gang members may have played in the attack and how residents are reacting coming up in a live report. Welcome to mornings on 2. Im tori campbell. Im dave clark. Were checking your weather and traffic. We have a lot going on. There are some areas of sun already. A few high clouds. We get a little break here in the morning. But increasing clouds throughout the day. Cloudy, rain maybe north. It sure looks like everything is in line for tomorrow. Lesser amounts as we go south. Get a little bit of a break in the morning. San francisco, well go mostly cloudy and only upper 50s for many on the coast and also for those in the north bay. Highs today, upper 50s to some mid60s. But gilroy and also out towards brentwood, maybe antioch to get up to 63, 64. These are just higher clouds. The main system is back mere. It will be pushing inland. Its kind of theres a lot of moisture. Its tapped into moisture from the hawaiian islands. Theres plenty to go around. Well need to juice things up a little bit. 36, santa rosa. Hayward, 46. Again, we start off with a little bit of sun here in the morning. But by this afternoon, noon, i think things go cloudy and temperatures again in the upper 50s or very, very low 60s. Farther south and east, you get more sun. A little break in the morning. Hopefully rain for everybody by tomorrow. The driest year ever. Look for temperatures in the 50s and 60s. Heres sal. Steve, good morning. Were looking at a commute thats just average. Some areas are not doing well. But others are better. Its kind of averaging out into an okay commute. For example, if you look at 880 here, its looking pretty good near the coliseum heading up to downtown oakland. When you get to the bay bridge, we dont have a superhuge backup. Its backed up for a little bit. The 880 ramps are the best way to get there, especially if you have fastrack, you will be able to bypass a lot of that traffic. 580, thats a different story. 580 in livermore has been slow the entire way from the Altamont Pass all the way through. We had a crash on 680. That has traffic backed up into san ramon, heading south towards pleasanton. It gets better if you are on the road after pleasanton. But the traffic is not that bad on 680 and fremont. 101 southbound near belmont weve had a series of collisions. 7 03. Back to the desk. All right. Thank you, sal. Police in santa rosa are asking for the publics help as they investigate a suspected gangrelated stabbing. Investigators say an 18year old boy was punched, kicked and stabbed outside a middle school on gardener avenue last night.

This teen told police he was attacked by a group of seven or eight people. Police say they were all gang members. He reported that seven to eight subjects had more or less jumped him and challenged him about his gang affiliation and proceeded to punch, kick and stab him multiple times. Reporter the group drove off in an older model Silver Honda Odyssey. The young men behind the stabbing are described as hispanic, late teens, early 20s. The gang crime teams is now investigating. Detectives plan to interview the victim at the hospital later on today. A sergeant tells me this attack doesnt appear to be random. He tells me the random who was stabbed may have had some gang ties at some point. Alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. Thank you. New this morning, a family has been forced from their home after it went up in flames overnight. The fire broke out at a home on oak springs road in san anselmo shortly after 3 00 this morning.

Rush hour traffic is pouring through the tunnel. Brian flores is right there. How is it going . Reporter yeah, traffic moving pretty smoothly as drivers are getting their first chance driving through the fourth bore this morning. But the big difference will be on the opposite side for drivers this morning heading eastbound from oakland to orinda. Open on this weekend on saturday, and it is already drawing heavy praise from caltrans to commuters who say it looks gread. The first cars went through great. The first cars went through at 4 00 a. M. The project cost 3 million under budget. It took three years and ten months to complete. For first time in 50 years, caltrans will no longer have to manually force the flow of traffic every day using the middle bore. This is a huge accomplishment. No major injuries in the reconstructiontion. You will see the modern ventilation system. The fans you will see. Theres also other safety features. But speaking with commuters, they are excited. Next thing i know im going through this wonderful fourth bore. Its wider. Its straighter. Its flat. Caltrans did a great job. I cant tell you how happy this makes me. Reporter no hassle with the merging, no wondering whether or not there will be two tunnels at the end of your journey. That will be huge for a lot of commuters. In terms of the commute, though, a couple of things. The new tunnel probably wont change the traffic back upthat we see, especially in the morning. This time its westbound on 24. But for the drivers again going in the opposite direction, thats where you will see a major difference. You are taking a look at the offpeak traffic. Drivers have a choice to go between either tunnel. Norm little, there would be the different normally, there would be the dividers. But thats not there any longer. They dont want drivers, if they do go through the fourth bore, talk on your cell phone, take pictures. They want you getting they want you getting through safely. Brian flores, ktvu channel 2 news.

Sal, dave and i got to drive through the new caldecott tunnel, the fourth bore. Nice and shiny. The biggest deal would be for people going countercommute and also for those driving on the weekends and highway 13, the people who live there and are used to big backups approaching 24.

But the actual traffic flow will be the same. This is a look at westbound bay bridge. Its about a 10, 15minute delay coming in on 880. The traffic looks good. Thats the best way to approach.

I would use 280 as an alternate route. 880 is slow if you are driving from 238 all the way down to fremont. Has been packed up. I think people are i think what people are doing, they are trying to avoid 680. 680 here is just a mess.
