highway 130. that's one of the main roads on the island. the highway lines up directly with the riff zone. that's why they're concerned. also new this morning, most of the hawaii volcanos national park closed indefinitely, and scientists think kilauea is on the verge of a major eruption of steam and ash. the volcano's lava lake has dropped so low, it's nearly reaching groundwater. and here's the catch -- if that happens, we could see steam-driven explosions, and that steam could actually send big boulders flying thousands of feet away. reggie, we're talking six feet in diameter. >> i have family in hilo, about an hour away from kilauea, but still, they have been rattled this week. >> major concern. >> yeah, thank you. a white house official is facing backlash for an insensitive comment she reportedly made about senator john mckale. "the hill" reports it happened during a closed-door meeting yesterday after mccain said he opposed the president's nominee for cia director. according to an unnamed source,

press aide kelly sadler said, "it doesn't matter. he's dying anyway." mccain is battling brain cancer and underwent surgery last month. his wife, cindy, tweeted this response to sadler -- "may i remind you, my husband has a family, seven children, and five grandchildren." mccain's daughter, meghan, will address the comment today on "the view," and you can watch that here on abc7 at 10:00 a.m. a bill headed to governor brown will give even more protection to undocumented immigrants in california. it would prevent lawyers from asking witnesses or victims their immigration status in court, unless it's relevant to a case. lawmakers say a lot of undocumented immigrants don't testify or even report crimes because they fear revealing that they're here illegally will get them deported. >> no more of this wild west situation where attorneys go in the court and essentially harass immigrant witnesses by asking them about their immigration status. >> reporte

bay wildfires. you are never more than seven minutes away from my accuweather forecast. let's talk about the winds. the wind advisory starts at 7:00 tonight through 5:00 tomorrow. they'll be coming out of the northeast and blowing to the southwest at 25 to 40 sustained, gusts up to 55, which means downed trees and power lines. there's a slight chance of an increase in fire danger, but there is not a red flag warning as a lot of the vegetaion is still very green. a lot of blowing debris, so what this advisory means is, we advise you to tie things down if you've put them outside or if you've, like, taken the lawn furniture out, maybe bring it back in for the night. here's a look at temperatures right now. upper 40s the beach, sunset to lake merced, 50 to 52 everywhere else in san francisco. looking at the hills, breezy commute for driving tonight, otherwise good. mass transit good. cool this morning and warm this afternoon at your stops. and the ferry ride, yeah, it will be a brisk one out on the bay, as you can see yellow everywhere. northwest winds south of the bay bridge, north winds north of the

the alamo area. we did have a crash on northbound 680 just before you get to stone valley. sounds like possible injuries involved in this one, too, and they briefly were blocking the far right lane for just maybe about ten minutes or so, but they did push that off to the side, so that is no longer an issue and it really was not there long enough to cause any backup there. so no residual delays either. here's a live look at the south bay, san jose 101 and 880 slowly filling in on the northbound side, but that's about it so far this morning. i have good news in the oakland area. we'll check on that next. they even took the appliances! only on abc7 news, the unbelievable length some airbnb guests went to to ransack a bay area home. time to start making summer travel plans. the tips you need to know to get the maximum bang for your credit card reward
