coast. also in the north bay. we will see temperatures mainly in the 60s and 70s. the warmest locks or east bay. we will see highs just about 75 concord and livermore in the south bay look for around 70 in san jose. only 60s downtown. i'll tell you when the best chance of rain comes into lay and when we will warm up. it will take quite some time. carolyn. >> lisa, thank you. this morning investigators are hoping four women who escaped a burning limousine on the san mateo bridge last night can offer key information on the fire that killed five of their friends. abc7 news reporter kira klapper joins us live near the bridge with the latest details, kira, on a horrific fire. >> that's right, carolyn, horrific indeed. the four women who you mentioned escaped the burning limo are this morning in the hospital being treated for burns and smoke inhalation. understandably when they were rushing and escaping, they weren't to provide clarity to the officers about what

happened. but the chp tells me this morning they are confident the women will be key in helping them glean information about the fire last night. these are photos by someone driving by the white stretch limo on fire. clearly it's on fire in the back of the limo. and sky 7hd shows the scene of the wreckage. it was after ten last night when they were carrying nine women from alameda to foster city. smoke started coming out of the back of the limo. driver quickly pulled over. as he got out to see what was happening, the smoke turned into flames. he was able to escape four of the passengers also escaped, but five women were trapped inside and killed. the chp tells abc7 news what happened right before those women lost their lives inside the limo. >> the driver was able to get out. good samaritans did stop and assist and try to pull people from the fire.

but it was a situation -- we have no idea what actually happened. everything is still under investigation. >> all the women survivors and victims included were in their 30s and 40s. the four survivors were taken to stanford hospital and valley medical center in san jose. again, for smoke inhalation and burns. the driver was not injured. the chp tells me he is investigating with investigators. they let him go home and get some rest. they will likely be questioning him, as with the victims over the next few days to piece together how the deadly fire happened. reporting on the san mateo bridge, kira klapper, abc7 news. >> and no official identification yet. we continue to following developing news in san francisco where firefighters are looking for the cause of a raging predawn house fire on pressure island that. fire broke out just before 4:00 this morning at a home on surgeon street. one person inside managed to get outside okay, but firefighters say a cat did not make it.
