straightly stronger breeze. concord at 61. a shower out by you earlier this morning, and we are looking at partly cloudy skies for the entire bay area today and some monsoonal moisture works it's way up from the south. it doesn't automatically mean you will see showers. mid-70s for oakland for the coast. partly cloudy mid-and upper 60s. inland stronger sea breeze allowing for cooler temperatures, mid-and upper 80s. labor day, a holiday for most tomorrow and the week ahead includes weather changes that we will talk about in a few minutes. carolyn. >> thank you, lisa. this a couple hours at 8:00, tal transwill give us an update on how work is progressing to open the new bay bridge tuesday morning. take a look across the span towards oakland from our yerba buena island camera. it is a live look. they said everything is on schedule to open first thing tuesday morning. a spokesman even talked about a possibility of opening sooner

inside the tunnels are of with l.e.d.s and they are washing the years of soot off the roof. over the years millions of cars have safely driven over the eastern span of the bay bridge, but right there you see is the beginning of its end. this portion of old bridge is being demolished to abolish a temporary bike lane the next three years the rest of the steel structure will come down. barring unforeseen delays, there's a chance the new section will open early. >> if we can open it early, we will. there's no reason to keep it closed until 5:00 a.m. if we don't have to. but for now they are sticking to the tuesday morning deadline so drivers can plan accordingly. abc7 news. >> sergio is sharing some great photos on twitter as he gets access to the construction there. he took this picture of the demolition project underway. if you would like you can follow him on

the president phoned congressional leaders and later sent a formal letter requesting an authorization of force. >> while i believe i have the authority to carry it out without congressional authorization, i know the country will be stronger if we take this course. >> he surprised everyone. u.s. warships in the mediterranean sea were poised for action against bashar assad, while anxious citizens stocked up on food. congress doesn't return until september 9th. but mr. obama indicated that the military has informed him postponing a strike is not a problem. acknowledging that the public and congress may be war-weary, the president urged congress to consider the consequences of not acting. >> what message will we send if a dictator can gas

with 63 in livermore. finally the sutro camera showing the clouds from below. cooler conditions today, a slight chance of showers and the chance perhaps sprinkles again tomorrow. mist and drizzle at the coast. you may need your wipers. the area of high pressure to the east of us breath up the subtropical moisture. there's an area of low pressure off the coast. energy providing the lift that could bring showers. the rim fire reported a few showers this morning, as well as the american fire. and also the lightning strikes not out of the question for the mountains. but we are looking at just clouds around here for the most part. hears a look this morning. you will see from the east bay to the south bay. the cloud cover. but the fog returns for the north bay and that onshore flow, keeping it cooler. partly cloudy skies and a few isolated showers are possible not only through the day today, but into the afternoon.

the morning hours on labor day, notice we have the cloud cover and the green mainly out of the bay. but still we are looking at about a 20% chance around here. so just keep that this mind. i wouldn't can tell any plans. in and around the south bay today you notice the partly cloudy sky. 81 los gatos. as much as 5 could 7 degrees cooler from morgan hill and gilroy. 76 in sunnyvale. lack for low 70s for san mateo. 62 pacifica. san francisco coming in cooler at 67. up in the north bay a little bit sunnier. mid-and upper 70s. but despite that, you will have the onshore push so it will be cooler today for you in novato. and in our east bay. 74 oakland, 75 in fremont. over the hills, yes, partly cloudy skies for you, as well. but temperatures not in the 90s here. that has gone away for the next several days. 14 in pleasanton, and 82 san ramon valley. taking you around the bay, milbrae partly cloudy skies. the art festival here.

>> a daily glass of wine could help reduce the case of the blues. research in spain found two to seven small glasses a week can lower the risk of depression. but don't go overboard. heavy drink has been relate to the a range of mental health problems, including, ironically, depression. add some coffee and you could help fight prostate cancer. scientists at the cancer research center in washington found drinking four or more cups of coffee a day can reduce prostate cancer.

scientists believe it might have something to to with some chemicals in coffee that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. >> scientists from nassau imaging say they have found a new grand can yeah in green land. it was hidden under a massive sheet of ice. they say it's 460 miles long, and that's almost 200 miles longer than the grand canyon. but the megacanyon is not nearly as deep. researchers think it's been hidden for 4 million years. coming up next, the new fees that kick in today for some cal taken riders. also a live look from our yerba buena island camera coming up. bay bridge closer and how its affecting events all over the bay area. and a new way to get around the bay. the pilot program to get more

>> welcome back, everyone. let's start this half-hour with our meteorologist lisa argen. >> hi, carolyn. >> mid-50s here but we are in the low to mid-60s from antioch

to livermore. 53 mountain view. partly cloudy skies this morning. the rest of the day we will have mid-level clouds. there's a system offshore that could provide enough lift works some subtropical moisture from the south, to squeeze out maybe a few sprinkles, a light shower. so for the rest of the day we are calling it partly cloudy through 8:00. but yet another day to enjoy for the weekend. for most it's labor day monday. the higher clouds will still be with us as the system still sits offshore. count on a few more clouds and the possibility of a sprinkle here or there. but the forecast changes after. that i'll have a look at the accuweather seven-day forecast in a few minutes. carolyn. >> thank you, lisa. this morning at 8:00, caltrans will give us another progress report on the new bay bridge work. so far so good.

it may open a little earlier than the scheduled opening tuesday morning at 5:00 a.m. they tell us the bridge is already capable of carrying traffic, except for smoothing a few surfaces, painting some lane lines. today they are wrapping up their project from the toll plaza to the new span. crews still need to finish striping a few stretches leading to the yerba buena tunnel and the s-curve to the old span is already being removed. >> there won't be an s-curve anymore, but when the bridge does open up, there's a strict 50 mile-an-hour speed limit there. it will be strictly enforced by the california highway patrol. several yards where the s-curve was has been demolished to install a new temporary bike lane for the new span. the rest of the old steel bridge will be dismantled over the next three years. at 2,047 feet, the new bridge will be the longest self-anchored suspension span in the world.

200 steel ropes are attached to the span's main table and rode way. the main tower is 525 feet high. it's designed to move with the shaking of an earthquake. a bicycle and pedestrian path connecting oakland to yerba buena island will be open only partially first while they demolish the old path. because the bridge has been off-limits, many commuters have turned to bart the past few days. on friday officials say bart saw its fourth highest ridership ever. 457,000 people road bart. on thursday there were even more. more than 475,000 people. trains will continue running around the clock until 1:00 tuesday morning. the ferries were also packed again yesterday. there was expanded service to help with extra passengers heading across the bay. on thursday san francisco bay ferry estimated 57% more passengers than wednesday when the bridge was still open.

the bay bridge closer is having a big effect on events all over the bay area this weekend. here's are a few of the major events drawing thousands across the bay area. they include the sausalito and milbrae art festivals, oakland pride today and tomorrow's annual san francisco bike race. visit abc7news.com for a look at commuter resources on bart, a.c. transit and the ferries. you can also explore our realtime traffic maps to see the worst gridlock during the closer. check out live, streaming video of our yerba buena island camera to watch the construction. as soon as the bridge opens we will notify our twitter followers. follow us @abc7newsbayarea. this week there's a new option for getting around. that's stan fran, san jose and three peninsula cities now have a new regional bike-sharing program that kicked off last thursday. >> two, one! woo-hoo! >> and they are off.

san francisco mayor ed lee and others taking the inaugural spin. 700 of these distinctive blue bikes are now available to the public 24-7. at 70 stations in san francisco, san jose and other peninsula cities. with the downtown traffic and all the gridlock we are having, getting rid of cars is a huge deal. >> here is how it works. cyclists use a credit card to buy a membership. for a year, three days or just one. during that time they can take as many 30-minute jaunts as they would like. if you ride longer, you will have to pay more. you set your key into here, the screen, lift up the back seat. >> each has a gps system and other anti-theft devices. >> i think it's a good start. everything is paid for, both the bikes, the stations. >> the $11 million pilot project is funded by several agencies, including m t.c. those who gave it a go were impressed. >> you get to see the city and

you aren't always stuck in a cab, whatever, and you can stop where you want. they have a lot of stations around. >> he's from d.c. where they, too, have a bike share program. there's also one in montreal, where this couple lives. in san francisco, which sees a number of accidents, there's concern about a flood of new people on the streets. there's no arguing it is dangerous when there are cars and bikes on the road. but i think if everybody would slow down and obey the rules of the road, we could all get along. another 300 of those blue bikes are expected on the streets early next year. starting today caltrain is raising parking fees by 25%. the daily rate is now one dollar more at five dollars. the monthly parking fee goes up by ten dollars to $50. caltrain said this is the first time it's raised parking rates since 2005, and that the new fees are necessary to cover increased costs of maintaining the parking lots.

it looks like atherton is going to have to absorb the cost of protecting president obama during his visit in april. our media partner, the san jose mercury news reports atherton's $8,000 in bills sent to the white house, the secret service and the democratic national committee have all been rejected. the city was hoping to be reimbursed for providing security for two private fundraising events in april held on private property. on wednesday the city council is scheduled to consider the city manager's recommendation that the city just absorb those costs. the town representatives neglected to request a special event permit when the visit was being planned, so trying to recover those costs would be a legal headache for the city. >> the 48th annual muscular dystrophyfy telethon airs tonight. it's being broadcast by a single network, unlike previous years where it aired on several

networks. it is the third telethon since comedian jerry lewis 45 year role as host ended. they say last year's telethon raised more than $58 million. the mda show of strength telethon is tonight from nine to eleven right here on abc7. this morning lifeguards in southern california are warning beach-goers to be aware of stingrays. 450 people were stung by stingrays in august. more than five times the amount a year ago. the sting from a sting ray can even make a macho man clinch his teeth. jimmy was showing his kids how to surf when he stepped on one. >> stepped in and came out. i'm having to hard time trying to talk because of the thousand -- the throbbing pain. >> just off my board and as soon as my feet hit the ground -- >> surfers say you can do the

sting y uffle to prevent being stung. you kick up the sand as you walk into the water and that should scare them away. coming up next on. abc7 sunday morning news, we will show you how to navigate the streets of san francisco on foot with a high-tech tool that will help you avoid the pesky hills. and lisa argen will have your forecast in

>> we all know the world is not flat, neither is san francisco, but most maps of the city are two dimensional and it makes it particularly hard to tell if a trip across the neighborhood is a casual jaunt or an aerobic workout. johnathan bloom took a stroll with a man who is setting out to fix that. >> san francisco is a city of immense beauty and immense hills. some so steep you have to climb them to believe them. >> ready for a workout? >> yeah. >> all right, let's go. >> i don't often work out in a suit, but this was for a good cause. berkeley grad student san moray has made himself an expert on the hills of san francisco as part of a project. >> you said there's a less steep route that could have been taken? >> yeah, i think it's two blocks north of here, lombard street. >> why aren't we taking that route again? [laughter]

>> most maps of san francisco are flat. you would never know this is a 23% grade until you got here. of course, there is google earth. >> i found existing 3d maps a lot of fun to play with but i didn't use them when i was out and about the city as much as i thought i would. i wanted something as simple as possible. >> what is simpler than this. >> the red leans go up and blue lines go downhill. >> the darker the line, the steeper the hill. he calms it hillmapper.com. the best part is the colors change when you move. the hill that returns red at the bottom, reaches blue at the top. >> and it guesses which direction you will be approaching it from and it uses that to color them appropriately. >> hill mapper does a lot of little calculations behind the scenes to come up with one clear picture of where all the up-hills and down-hills are. in theory you wouldn't get stuck walking this hill unless you wanted to. >> were you about to walk up the hill? >> i am.

>> were you aware there is a less steep block two blocks over? >> no. >> he hopes to make it a tool core tourists, cyclists and anyone pushing one of these or one of these. >> he learned something himself. >> the city is hillier than i thought. >> it isn't finished but he's gotten requests for other cities. he isn't even a programmer, he's getting his ph.d. in city planning and he knows digital maps will be a big part of that. >> i think that's the future of how we navigate cities. >> in san francisco, abc news. >> if you shall trying to navigate the city or anywhere in the bay area, lisa argen is here with your forecast. >> we are looking at the clouds this morning from above and also the marine layer. so we have a mixture going on. in fact, a pretty sunrise. we've had lots of pinks and oranges out there. this afternoon we are talking cooler and maybe a few sprinkles. i'll return with the accuweather forecast in a few minutes. >> also next, the sunny dikes

era officially begins at cal, giving fans at memorial stadium some excitement against 22nd-ranked northwestern. mike shumann has all the

>> in sports this morning, many cal fans are feeling like the team's future is brighter following last night's debut of freshman quarterback jared goff in the bears season opener against northwestern. here's mike shumann with the highlights in this morning's sports.

>> good morning. we will start off with a little college football. the seven any dikes era at cal started off with a test. hosting the 22nd ranked wildcats. the kid has 60,000 on hand for the new era at cal. on the fergus drive. bears showing a little trickery. a fake field goal. the touchdown. 7-0 bears after the touchdowns. we love sunny dikes already. greene finds the hole. goes 33 house to the house. ties the game at 7. goff, the true freshman. looking like a senior. third quarter down 10. to hoffman a beautiful throw. 52 yards. his first td in college. 153 yards receiving. next drive. another perfect pass. to harper. 38 for 53. 2 tds. cal up 24-20. but jared did make a few freshmen mistakes. the pass tip into the hands of

colin eller. no one would catch him. takes it 66 yards the other way, northwestern back on top 27-24. all right. in my day this was a clean hit, but now you can't leave your feet like this to hit a quarterback. chris mccain of cal gets ejected from the game. it was collin ellis again, the right place, the right time. the tip. you have to catch that or knock it down. here right into the hands of him and he goes for the touchdown. cal down 10. jared can't believe it. cal got to within seven again but northwestern puts the dagger in the heart. greene rushes in. he was from four yards out under two minutes remaining and cal goes on to to lose. 34-30, the final. a's look for their second straight win over tampa bay. rookie sunny gray on the hill. timely hitting and pitching was a good formula that kept working for the a's. members of the band green day throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. a little fireworks. another solid outing for graham. 6 2/3 scoreless, 5 hits, struck out 7. the entire offense came from coco crisp.

the eighth inning he unloads. solo blast off alex cobb. coco's 15th of the year. a's are up 2-0. and here he gets kelly johnson to grab to end the game. they win 2-1 and stay two games behind the texas rangers who come to town monday on labor day. giants and d-backs in the desert, that would be arizona. d-backs led 3-0, but the tie in the seventh. buster posey doing the honors with an rbi single. marco scutaro, 3-3 ballgame. stayed that way until the ninth until chavez drives it into the gap. game over. d-backs win it 4-3. that's the way the ball bounces. i'm mike shumann. see you again tonight at 5:00. have a great day. >> it's a long holiday weekend. lots of people have plans and they are hoping the weather is reasonable, which it should be, except for the sprinkles, right? >> yes.

wait until you see the seven-day outlook. it's an about-face. but today a pretty sunrise. the official sunrise 6:40, setting 7:38. we are looking at just under 13 hours ever day light. and with the clouds around, boy, lots of pretty dollars out there, the pinks and oranges. take a look at the exploratorium camera. in the north bay it's been coolest with the clear sky in napa. 63 san jose. 55 in half moon bay. cooler day for most today. from our east bay hills camera atop vollmer peak you see the deck of low clouds up to about 1,000 feet. the mid and high-level clouds and the stronger sea breeze making for a cooler afternoon, a cooler weekend and labor day holiday. 54 in santa rosa. so far it's still clear in napa.

elsewhere plenty of cloud cover, even in concord. some clouds, 61 and partly cloudy in livermore at 63. so our sutro camera showing the little hole in the city right here. and you can see the sun. so it should be a partly cloudy afternoon. so this morning you kind of see what there is out there and this afternoon maybe some mist and sprinkles right along the coast. a slight chance are showers. that will take us through labor day. not a great chance. the best chance is to the east of us in the sierra nevada as that return flow around an area of high pressure bringing up the subtropical moisture. we've seen a few showers along the fires here. still the smoke and the poor air quality for the sierra nevada and also around yosemite. but there's an area of low pressure offshore providing the lift. the energy could bring us some light showers. but more than likely maybe a few sprinkles. this morning cloud cover. the forecast animation, of course, showing that and the low clouds and fog banked up along the shoreline. the sea breeze up to 20 americans today.

bringing the cooler air. and by the overnight hours still the mild temperatures at night due to the cloud cover. for labor day we call it partly cloudy and just a 20% chance of showers. mainly to the east and south of us. but we could see one around the bay. so just keep that in mind. temperatures with that cooler air mass and the stronger onshore push into the 70s for the most part around the by. some 60s san francisco and the 80s out over the hills with 84 in concord. 78 in san jose. cooler today by about five to six degrees from the south bay and at our beaches. plenty events going on around the bay. if you are headed to the north bay, watch out for the traffic. but the arts festival, partly cloudy. should be a nice afternoon. over into the east bay still some clouds. a little breeze out there. temperatures similar. low to mid-70s today with the outside chance of sprinkles, a light shower. the accuweather seven-day forecast trimming back the
