for the democratic party. kamala harris is set to become the first woman of color to formally accept a presidential nomination. a mood in chicago ahead of this historic address also, it's the honor of my life to accept your nomination for vice president of the united states. tim walz making his case

for a running mate. a look at last night's key moments at the national convention. this is today in the bay a very good thursday morning to you. 6:00 right now. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. and i'm marcus washington. we've got you covered on those roads. mike's got that coming up for you in just a bit. but first, let's talk about the weather. carey is bringing the most sunshine with this mustard shirt. okay. but it's going to start out cloudy and it's going to be nice to have some cooler weather. i guess i'm trying to invoke some fall feels here. we are going to have some cooler and windy weather for today and a lot of spots dropping about ten degrees cooler than it was as a rare august cold front comes in. we'll see. breezy winds, cloudy skies and even some spotty rain. we'll talk about that looking ahead to the weekend, it will be sunny and warming up and then we'll be back to summer next week. so it's now officially the end of summer for the kids in

emeryville. heading back to school today with some patchy clouds, temperatures in the low 60s and headed for the upper 60s for later today. mike, you had a crash reported near the bay bridge? yeah, and i thought it might be affecting the flow because we saw traffic there getting a little bit lighter, but it's actually getting away from the bay bridge around powell. no slowing shows up on the sensors. might have a slowing block though for just a few minutes. westbound we do see slowing at the berkeley curve. that might be the congestion is why we had some lightning of the load here at the toll plaza. but still, this is looking great for 601 almost 602 there. the rest of the east bay moves. well, i did get an update from the bart system saying now they're recovering. so berryessa line back in service. they had early delays because of something going on at the hayward train yard. berryessa lines back now under ten minute delays reported back to you. that's good to know now. thanks, mike. well, you know, today is the last day of the democratic national convention. want to give you a live look this morning inside where the dnc is taking place tonight. so this is also where

vice president kamala harris is expected to speak. last night, the attention was on minnesota governor tim walz, who accepted the democratic nomination for vice president today in the bay's damian sergio is continuing our coverage from chicago. good morning. today is a big day. kamala harris officially accepting the nomination here in chicago. it's been three days of booming cheers. and there's one day left. there were many speakers and acts last night that brought delegates to their feet, from stevie wonder to former president bill clinton, but last night was about vice presidential nominee tim walz. walz took the stage shortly before ten local time, and by then the crowd had built up their excitement and walz wasted no time going on the attack. their project 2025 will make things much, much harder for people who are just trying to live their lives. they spent a lot of time pretending they know nothing about this. but look, i coached high school football long enough to know and trust me

on this. when somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they're going to use it. they'll start jacking up the costs on the middle class. they'll repeal the affordable care act, they'll gut social security and medicare, and they will ban abortion. across this country with or without congress. the delegates soaked it all in with those from california and the bay area leading the way. i mean, the energy he brought this is a man who understands people and he understands kindness and decency. these are things that donald trump simply does not have. and we couldn't have asked for a better running mate for kamala harris. i wish he was my next door neighbor. he's the classic person that you want as your neighbor, because if your kid comes flat, tire coach walz will be out changing it. if your kid needs some extra coaching for sport, coach walz will be doing it. there were many surprises on stage last night and no doubt there will be more today. as kamala harris makes history here in chicago. we are

in chicago. i'm damian trujillo today in the bay. and as you heard damian just mentioned, vice president kamala harris will close out the dnc convention with her acceptance speech later tonight. today in the bay's bob redell joins us live this morning. so what do we expect the oakland native to say? bob good morning to you, laura. nbc news is reporting that vice president harris will begin her speech tonight in chicago by praising president joe biden, who is well aware stepped aside earlier this summer. so that harris could run for president. she is expected to thank him for his service and highlight the administration's accomplishments. then harris will focus on three areas one. she will contrast her vision for america with the one being offered by former president donald trump. two a campaign official says tells nbc news that she'll root that vision in a, quote, deep and abiding sense of patriotism. and three, she will share her personal and professional background. kamala

harris also has to reintroduce herself to american voters. of course, she's the sitting vice president, so she has a lot of name recognition. but most americans don't know a lot about her. you know, those of us here in california, we're pretty familiar with her and her career, but a lot of voters are just getting to know kamala harris, her life story, her experience, what she stands for. when vice president harris speaks tonight, she will make history as the first black woman and first asian-american person to accept a major party's endorsement or nomination. i should say, for president of the united states. nbc news reports that harris is conscious as a black and south asian woman. she wants to, quote, be a president for everyone. reporting live, bob redell today in the bay. all right. thank you very much, bob. ahead of tonight's curtain. closer as well. the day in chicago, starting with some bay area heavy hitters attending a party breakfast for leading state democrats, san francisco

focus is not to get out the vote. it's to make sure they don't cheat because we have all the votes you need. he was taking shots at your president and so was michelle. you know, they always say, sir, please stick to policy. don't get personal. and yet they're getting personal all night long. these people do. i still have to stick to policy. the former president will be in glendale today. this is for his first rally in the state since harris took over the democratic ticket. meanwhile, trump could soon get a boost from robert f kennedy jr, the independent candidate is planning to drop out and endorse trump. that's all, according to two sources familiar with the plans. kennedy spokesperson posted on x yesterday that this is the boss's plan to address the nation live on friday, with his path forward. happening today, homeless advocates are organizing a protest opposing san francisco's recent effort to clear its encampments. critics argue mayor london breed is making sweeps a central part of

her reelection strategy. the mayor admits the city must change its position on the unhoused. advocates plan to gather a little after noon along the sixth street corridor, one of the flashpoints in the recent crisis. they also plan to march to city hall. a live look out in walnut creek this morning. meteorologist kari hall has been monitoring what we can expect from those temperatures today. it's going to be a little bit cooler today, kari. it's going to be a lot cooler in some spots, about ten degrees. and you're really going to notice the difference compared to yesterday. so we're going to see our morning start in the upper 50s and low 60s. kind of mild out there. mostly cloudy but for this first day of school in mill valley we're going to go from upper 50s and patchy fog to some upper 60s and mostly sunny, along with some gusty winds. take a look at our highs and what we are going to see today, versus what's average for this time of year in santa rosa. on this day, we're usually in the mid 80s, but we'll see a high of 77. we're about eight degrees cooler than normal in concord

and also cooler than normal in san jose, with a high of 75. we'll talk about more changes coming up. mike's been tracking where we can find some lower gas prices. yeah, we still have some schools starting their districts this week. so we'll continue to talk about the areas. i mean, in san jose, yet another school district starts today. it's mount pleasant, so head just south of the mount pleasant school district. san jose's best price is their 375 at platinum gas on tully road at the top here, san bruno park school start as well, so we'll report san bruno's best price 419 at san bruno gas on san mateo avenue and emeryville. the best we can find for that school district for that city is 485. the shell at the station right below our camera. there on powell. in fact, let's talk about the traffic now as we get to the roadways. a smooth flow of traffic. the earlier crash around that powell exit looks like it's cleared from the eastbound direction. we just now have the bay bridge slowing westbound. same thing for 37 and highway four. not a big deal.

much less traffic than this time yesterday. i want to call out one issue, though. this is vasco road, southbound at the top of your screen, there's a disabled vehicle reported affecting the southbound commute direction right at los vaqueros. that's also where things typically start to slow. there we're still under a half hour though that highlighted yellow there. you saw warned about some wind detected from our road weather index carries. talking about how it might develop more over the course of the day. but right now not a problem for drivers. and vasco road still under a half hour for that drive. back to you. thanks, mike. 610 right now on strike. coming up the heated labor dispute suddenly putting new pressure on the u.s. economy and where the impact is expected to be felt. first, two companies aimed at helping you get fit and shifting their focus. the shift coming with a lyft and at least for customers anyway. details on that new direction for peloton and planet fitness. and if you're in need of any interior design ideas, we have your insp. bear out with its new color of the year, and let's just say it's more fact than fiction.

fewer officers. business killing bureaucracy. the insiders won't change a system built for their benefit. i'm daniel lurie and san francisco needs a mayor unafraid to take on the status quo, bring accountability, and stop the excuses. it's going to be cloudy and 60 degrees. we'll be clearing out today, but it stays windy as our highs head for the upper 60s here. we'll get a look ahead to some warmer temperatures in our microclimate forecast, and where we may see some rain coming up

in a few minutes. yeah, it looks cool right here, but i see those changes. kari is talking about. all right. 280 also looking for some changes. more volume of traffic going to build over the next half hour. i'd say south bay moves pretty well. the delays on bart continue just about under well under ten minute delays for the berryessa line. that's an improvement as that system, that part of the system recovers. well, wall street is set to open higher. want to give you a live look this morning at the futures yesterday dow rose for the sixth time in the past seven seasons. and the s&p 500 and nasdaq closing higher for the ninth time in the past ten days. now this all comes as the minutes from last month's federal reserve meeting signal. most members are ready to cut interest rates when they meet next month. investigators investors will actually seek more confirmation when the fed chair, jerome powell, speaks tomorrow. in focus today weekly jobless claims, as well as existing home sales. canada's two main railroads have shut

down operations. this after threats to strike involving 9000 union workers. the railroads are locking out employees after a contract deadline passed early this morning. the impact on the u.s. economy could be immediate, with all rail traffic from across the area stopped and billions of dollars in goods moved by rail between canada and the united states. every single month. commodity markets should feel the most of the pain with canada as a major exporter in things like fertilizer, wheat, grain, and oilseeds. well, disney board member and morgan stanley chairman james gorman to lead the company's search for a new ceo, bob iger said that last year he actually would extend his stay as ceo through 2026. and will definitely step down when his contract ends. disney's board has extended iger's retirement date five times, starting with his return from retirement in 2022. peloton and planet fitness switching up their investments as strength

living space. what do we think? i'm wondering if it's, though makes it feel smaller or roomie. oh that's good. i'd be all confused. what are you guys talking about? there you have i. it matches your tie. i was just thinking. that's a little plum ish. hey. it's rumor. rumor has. it carries lipstick. i don't know. maybe closer to my skirt or something. okay. we're just. we'll figure it out later. all right. let's get a look at what to wear for today. as you're getting your way to work or school. and it's for a lot of kids. first day of school or also we're continuing with the school year. you've already started. so as we take a look at our highs, we're headed for the mid 70s. upper 70s for morgan hill. you're going to notice that we have a little taste of fall today. it's going to be much cooler. we're only up to 80 in antioch and concord. today we can leave the air conditioning off and the wind will be blowing

today. so if you don't open up the windows, you'll definitely have a nice little cool down happening inside. and it will be in the mid 70s in redwood city in san francisco, gusty winds. we're up to about 66 in the ingleside district, and for the north bay, 78 in sonoma as well as ukiah. some of those gusts may reach 25 to 30mph. and we'll start to see those winds picking up at about 12 to 1:00. now, these areas in purple, including some of our higher elevations, we may have gusts to 40 to 50mph for today. watching out for those high winds as we transition to some cooler air. and then also looking ahead to some rain. but as we check in on our drought monitor, we are starting to see things change here. so abnormally dry conditions from the sierra to the north bay on northward and then notice the shades of brown there. that's a moderate drought that we're starting to see developing. only about 7% of california is in a moderate drought, but we are seeing a lot

more abnormally dry conditions, which also includes parts of northern sonoma county on to clear lake as well as ukiah. and we're also watching out for some rain. so this is right on time. we are going to see some spotty showers developing going into late tomorrow night into early saturday. slight chance of some quick passing showers. not really expecting a lot of accumulation, but at least it will give us a cooldown that we'll see just temporarily because next week in walnut creek will go back to the upper 90s. a significant warm up, and a lot of changes coming our way over the next few days. going from windy and kind of cool to really hot and sunny. so i'll be tracking all of that for you. and mike starts out with a look at the south bay. yeah, a couple of things. we'll look at the slowing and it's just starting to see those sensors start to change. we're looking at another ten minutes until there should be another volume of traffic. and that's when we're starting to kick in really for the morning commute. early in the show i don't know if you guys

saw this. we had the map i outlined where the slowing will be for 101, 8785 and 280. it will all be pushing through this direction by the end of our show. by the 7:00 hour we are looking at a smooth flow of traffic. also on the bart lines, there's a minor delay out of the berryessa station. earlier problems at the hayward train yard did cause problems for the orange and green lines down here, south of hayward. it should be back on track for timing. check those schedules. the rest of the bay is looking really good with just a bit of slowing for 880. the nimitz down out of hayward and in toward union city, and a little blip around the san mateo bridge toll plaza, the volumes just starting to build. it's not bad this thursday. a smooth flow now, just starting to see a little slowing. 242 and also at the richmond bridge, where the backup is forming at the toll plaza. back to you. thanks, mike. 620 right now, no power for the pups. a san francisco animal shelter has their electricity cut straight ahead. details on the big misunderstanding and how pg&e is responding. and since we're talking about dogs, let's talk about this. reminding everyone about our clear the shelters event. well, take a look here. this is audrey. she is an eight

shelter in san francisco, and right now they're more concerned about simply keeping those lights on. so the new mudville headquarters opened over in the mission district on monday, and the very next day the power was shut off. so pg&e says that the shelter went over its limit. one day after opening, and the owner calls it a miscommunication between the building developers and the utility. now, while power was later restored, the owner says that it won't be enough to operate that new space effectively. most of our outlets are washers. our dryers, our grooming area we rented from the spca in a really old, old building. and we have less power here than we had there. now, in a statement, pg&e says that montville's electric demand went beyond the load limit and pg&e was not informed of the change. the higher than expected demand overloaded pg&e circuit twice,

demanding pg&e equipment and causing potential safety and reliability issues for the surrounding customers. statement goes on to say that pg&e continues to work with mudville and their contractor on a long term plan to safely deliver electricity in the future. a reminder this morning, the summer olympics are far from over because we're less than a week away from the paris paralympics. ahead lies 11 spectacular days of sporting action. 4500 athletes are set to compete across 22 sports. you can keep up with all the action on peacock. the opening ceremony is set for wednesday, august 28th. trending this morning, pumpkin spice continues to creeping into the summer because nothing says fall like pumpkin spice. and are you ready for it? smell it in the air. not really, but all right. starbucks is bringing it back earlier than ever. so the fact is they're starting today. the coffee chain's fall menu returns, and it marks the earliest date ever

a pep talk last night from the governor. there also a former football coach. no surprise there from that speech last night. yeah. marcus and laura, that certainly came through. in fact, some of his former players were here. and he really did turn it into that moment where he said, we're down in the final quarter and it's time to kind of rally and get this over the finish line. i guess i'm mixing metaphors there, but you get the point. what he did do was he wanted to introduce himself to the country. he leaned in to his small town roots, and he also laid out his vision of america and what freedom means to him. tim walz blowing the roof off the united center. it's the honor of my life to accept your nomination for vice president of the united states. the minnesota governor laying out his personal story, growing up in small town nebraska. you learn how to take care of each other. drawing on his 24 year service in the army national guard and his work as a teacher and high school football

coach, some of his former players on hand. it's the fourth quarter. we're down a field goal, but we're on offense. charting his path through congress and the governor's mansion, where he signed a series of progressive policies while other states were banning books from their schools, we were banishing hunger from ours. we also protected reproductive freedom because in minnesota, we respect our neighbors and the personal choices they make. a host of democratic standard bearers when kamala harris is president, every day will begin with you. you you you. rising stars in the party and superstar celebrities bay to breakers down from john legend and stevie wonder to oprah winfrey standing with the harris-walz ticket. when we stand together, it is

impossible to conquer us. tonight, vice president kamala harris formally accepts her party's nomination. what does she need to say to the american people? i think she needs to be very clear about what her platform would be, and that would governing under her would be, and then she needs to give us hope. self-styled joyful warriors promising to battle for every vote. and as vice president, harris prepares for her big speech tonight, former president trump is continuing his battleground blitz. he's headed to arizona today, close to the u.s. mexico border, for a focus on immigration. laura, it's been quite the lead up of support for her in these last few nights. what do you think, alice, are the main goals for the vice president in her speech tonight? so she really does need to define who she is and what she stands for outside of the

shadow of president biden and her campaign is telling nbc news through sources that she's going to do that by going through her personal and her professional story, trying to really strike a sharp contrast between herself and former president trump in terms of their visions. and that she's also going to lean in to what they're calling a deep and abiding sense of patriotism. that's how they're framing the expectations that are really sky high, certainly for tonight. yeah. most certainly. okay. it's been such a busy week. alice barr, thanks so much for all the latest there. and of course our coverage continues. damian trujillo is reporting live from the dnc. watch him live tonight on nbc bay area. 634 right now. happening today, turning tragedy into change. people in one oakland community are demanding more traffic enforcement and immediate change to dangerous intersections. this, as another life is lost in a hit and run today in the bay's ginger conejero saab is live for us. this morning. and ginger, one of

those cases, a teenage girl. the other a navy veteran. each of them died within a matter of weeks. that's right marcus, and it's really bringing into focus just how dangerous intersections and streets can be in oakland. and it's also compelling a community to protest today. now that protest will be a commemorative protest to memorialize the lives that have been lost to traffic violence. but organizers want to drive home a very clear and loud message that change needs to happen now. and this comes as community members continue to mourn the loss of a 17 year old girl killed by a suspected hit and run driver who was drunk. now, this is surveillance video, but we are only showing you the moments leading up to it because the crash is graphic. now, this happened just after 630 monday evening on international boulevard near 72nd avenue. the video shows the teen and her mom crossing the street at a crosswalk. that is when the

driver can be seen crashing into them. the teenager died at the scene while paramedics rushed her mom to the hospital, where she is in stable condition. now, organizers of today's protest will commemorate the life of another man who was reportedly struck while riding his bike on broadway and 27th just weeks ago. that man died after the crash and at least 19 people have been killed this year, according to data cited by today's organizers. at least 33 people have lost their lives last year to traffic violence in oakland. now, the suspect of the teen pedestrian crash is expected in court today. police say that after he was involved in that crash, he was also involved at another one just blocks away, which is where he was arrested. the protest, as far as that's concerned, will start at 530 this evening, and that will happen at 27th and broadway. the site of the original crash or the crash where the veteran was hit as

well. so we'll continue to watch this and post updates on nbcbayarea.com. marcus. all right. information thanks, ginger. well, counselors will be on hand at san francisco's galileo high school this is after an off campus shooting injured one of its students. it happened yesterday afternoon near north point and polk. this is near ghirardelli square. now, one witness saying they saw two teenagers fighting. one of them pulling a gun. the injured student is expected to recover. we do know that the other teen ran from the scene. and so far, police are not commenting on whether they've been able to identify that person or if there's been an arrest. a major development in a bullying scandal involving leadership in the antioch school district. board members have fired the district superintendent in april. our investigative unit broke the story of bullying complaints made by several employees against the district's facilities director, ken turnage. we also uncovered his close relationship with superintendent stephanie anello.

last night, the board ruled she failed to properly discipline turnage because the two are personal friends. she was fired last night without cause. that means she could leave with a payout of up to nine months of her salary. the original issue began when one worker filed a formal complaint after turnage instructed other employees to move his desk onto a roof. turnage has since been placed on administrative leave. while the complaints are investigated. he refused to comment on the latest developments. to see the entire story. visit our website nbcbayarea.com and click on our investigations tab. 638 this morning. let's take a live look out where are we going? oh, san jose. i don't know where are we going? san jose downtown. all right. meteorologist kari hall has been monitoring what we can expect out there. and, you know, even just looking at that, it's giving more of a fall look than summer. yeah, for a little while, and it's going to be nice to have outdoor activities. some cooler weather. and there will be a lot going on this weekend,

including music in the square in redwood city. starting tomorrow evening at 6:00. it will be at about 69 degrees and cloudy. only some peeks of sunshine. you want to make sure you have a jacket for the cooler weather that we'll see in the evening, and also jacket weather in san francisco once again with our friday high up to about 66 degrees. lots of events happening this weekend with upper 60s and a little bit more sun as we go into the afternoon on saturday and slightly warmer on sunday with a temperature of 72 for that high. it's also going to be warmer in sonoma valley. if you're going there this weekend, you do have some beautiful conditions watching out for some more clouds tomorrow, and a high of 72 degrees, but then slightly warmer on saturday with our highs in the upper 70s and then going up another ten degrees on sunday. so you can see the changes that we'll have the cooler temperatures with us for a little while, but it does linger throughout the weekend and big sur and near the coast it will be in the low seconds with upper 70s for the end of

the weekend. now time to check in with mike, who reminds us that crews will close a tunnel in san francisco starting today. yeah, let me get out of the way of these folks trying to get on the muni metro today. it begins the week long closure of the twin peaks tunnel after crews discovered some needed rehabilitation and repair work. they did a few trial runs previous weekends in june and july. you might remember that, but this means that the muni metro stations at west portal and forest hill will be closed through the 29th. so eight days just over a week. riders instead will use the k, l, and the m busses. the s shuttle trains as alternates. the subway will still operate from the embarcadero to castro. you can find more details about the twin peaks tunnel upgrades on the muni website. you go to sfmta.com/projects. you select that twin peaks tunnel project and they can get you a cool animation and walk through there. let's take a look at the map though. i want to show you where it is across the city. it's that purple line. it goes under, of course, twin peaks, not over twin peaks again,

that's a week long service, and that will mean the bus shuttles will go on the streets around the area. shouldn't be a major issue as far as the volume of traffic, but it will be an issue for those who do ride it. and again, this is because of a repair work that they discovered was needed. they did a few trial runs, but the heavy lifting is going to happen for this eight week or eight day. i'm sorry, travel time there. through the rest of the area, we're looking at a smooth flow of traffic this morning. nothing really unexpected on the roadways. we're now just starting to see the slowing from richmond down in toward berkeley for the east shore freeway. back to you. thank you mike. 641 for you this morning, new developments in oakland ahead of a very important vote there over private security. mayor sheng thao is expected to make the deciding vote, but it is already raising some questions. the ties some of her critics are making to this ongoing federal investigation. plus, a popular car event returns to tahoe. but let's just say leaders are hardly revved up. the new blowback for an event the locals don't quite embrace and get

ready for the west coast showdown. the giants and the mariners. the three game series kicking off this friday at 7 p.m. right here on nbc bay area. don't miss it. and we got much more ahead for you, so don't miss the rest of

deep breath. cancer is a journey you don't take alone. you did it! our cancer care team works together to care for all that is you.

and it's about time to wake up the kids for the first day of

school in emeryville, starting out with some clouds and temperatures in the low 60s. probably long sleeves and pants will do today, because we're only headed for the upper 60s and it's going to be windy. we do have some cooler than normal temperatures for now. we'll talk about a warm up coming up in a few minutes. actually, carry this rooftop camera in walnut creek. looks like it is maybe getting some impact from the wind pushing it just a bit. the volume of traffic could use the wind at their backs, but it's slowing because of the commute heading southbound toward the walnut creek interchange. we'll show you the bigger view, because contra costa county now seeing a build coming up. well, a new east bay times investigation is revealing that oakland mayor sheng thao will make the tiebreaking vote next month in a deal involving figures tied to the ongoing fbi corruption investigation. that deal centers around the private security company already staffing city hall and other city buildings. now, the times is reporting next month, she'll cast the tie breaking vote on renewing the security deal at a cost of $8 million. the owner of

that company has a separate real estate business that's made numerous deals with the man at the center of the fbi investigation. remember, the mayor has still not been charged with any wrongdoing. just into our newsroom, the body of british tech entrepreneur mike lynch has been retrieved from the wreckage of a yacht that sank off the coast of italy. officials confirmed his identity earlier this morning after five bodies were pulled from the wreckage yesterday. one person, lynch's daughter, remains unaccounted for. lynch was known as the bill gates of britain. he had just been found not guilty in san francisco court of business fraud. hewlett-packard had accused lynch of ripping them off in an $11 billion deal to buy his company autonomy. south lake tahoe is cracking down on a popular but unsanctioned car event. lake two zero started yesterday and continues through the weekend. actually kicked off with a car meetup and a cave rock state park in nevada. but tahoe leaders, they call it an

unauthorized event. and police are adding extra patrols there to monitor any unsafe driving. the organizers say that they've been in contact with all local law enforcement about the events planned. i've sent him an itinerary, a full itinerary of each day, and each time the location that we're doing stuff at. so they again, so they're direct. you know, close contact with us, and they have an idea of what's going on when south lake tahoe will also close its parking lots at regan beach starting at 7 p.m, and the trailer parking area near lake view commons will be closed for the duration. as soon as today, fda regulators are expected to approve an updated version of the current covid vaccine. it comes as california and other states report very high levels of covid activity. this is the third time the current vaccine has been updated to try to match circulating strains. if approved, shots should be available within days. according to experts, only 22% of people got the last booster. but one

health expert says you should not wait for the winter surge to get the shot. you're kind of playing russian roulette with this virus to try to time when you should get it. so it really depends on maybe how recently you might have been infected. we know that a lot of people got infected over this over the summer, and in that case, you might actually want to wait about 3 to 4 months before getting it. if you're high risk, i would recommend getting the updated booster sooner rather than later. if you're low to moderate risk, you might actually want to wait a couple of months so that you're protected when the inevitable winter surge happens. you can watch the full story coming up on the today show at 7 a.m. that's right. after today in the bay. well, happening tonight, santa clara county vector control launching a new round of spraying. this is after the discovery of mosquitoes with west nile. now the map is showing. right here is the areas where those teams will spray tonight with a truck mounted equipment. the spraying will start around 10 p.m. it should last up to four hours. residents where the spraying will happen

should have been notified. so far, no human cases have been reported. well, things are getting rather lucky in gilroy this morning. that's because a new chick fil a just opened. there and fans are flocking. yeah, i was just going to do the same thing. here's a live look at the new restaurant. this is over on chestnut street, right off of 101. the crowds pouring in, some of whom arrived before midnight. this is how it looked when the doors officially open just about 15 minutes ago. people in line. this. this place, it. wow. they're excited. it's going to be a memorable breakfast there at chick fil a in gilroy. they say the chick fil a has been the talk of the town. after the first announcement that it was coming to town, many wanted to be the first inside. well, since i was in school, everybody was talking about it, so everybody was pretty excited. and since there's not really much to do

out here, it's something new to come out to and something new to try and new to gilroy. so i feel everybody talks about in the community to celebrate the grand opening. chick fil a says it is donating $25,000 to second harvest of silicon valley, plus, 100 local heroes will be honored receiving free chick fil a entrees for a year. that's cool. they put that on the sign for gilroy. now, welcome to gilroy. we have chick fil a, home of the chick fil a. come here when you're not in school. go to school, kid. yeah well, good thing it wasn't probably too cold out there for them standing like they were since midnight last night. yeah, a long wait, and we're going to have some nice weather. kids are getting up, heading back to school, and we are also putting an end to summer, at least with the temperatures. for now we are taking a live look outside in dublin. a lot of clouds rolling by, but still a very nice view as the sun comes up. this morning. and we are also on the

first day of school for mill valley. we're starting out with some patchy fog at drop off time. it will be in the upper 50s at pickup time, partly cloudy and about 67 degrees. really nice day and hopefully all the kids have a great first day, but our temperatures. what we are going to see for today will be much cooler than yesterday. we're up to 77 for our high this afternoon when normally this time in august we're in the mid 80s, so we are well below what we typically see. a nice little cool down. and in oakland will be about normal 71 degrees today, but definitely cooler than what's average for san jose with a high of 75 degrees. but those cooler temperatures come along with some gusty winds and later on today, at about 2 to 3:00, the winds will really start to pick up 25 30 mile per hour winds in these areas. in this pink and purple, those are the upper elevations. some of our hills could see 40 to 50 mile per hour wind gusts. so watch out for those high winds. but also once

again this gives us a little taste of fall. we are going to see some showers coming in by late tomorrow evening, possibly into early saturday. as this very rare august cold front comes in that brings in that chance of rain. hopefully that helps with the drought situation because we are seeing some abnormally dry conditions across northern california and then we go back to the heat next week. so the little taste of fall is just that, just a taste. we're back to summer for the middle of next week. and mike, you're seeing that commute really kicking in. yeah, we're now seeing more than just a taste of the commute. we're getting the full meal over here on the east shore freeway starts to build. it's growing. now, this doesn't look as bad as yesterday. the volume seems to be a little bit lighter. it'll really start to kick in, though. look over here. 680. we just showed you the live look just before the break. or just after the break. and we have more slowing now. and there's a disabled vehicle on highway 24. will monitor that very closely. we're looking at the rest of the bay and pretty typical patterns for the east bay. and coming across that san
