really good out there this morning, mike. here's one example of that. although golden gate bridge normally looking light this early in the morning. southbound 101, no major issues if you're doing the north bay commute. maybe a little hazy. i think that camera lens for the shot needs to be cleaned off. it's looked like for a few days now. westbound 580, the only drive time that is gnaw green. that's due to earlier road work. dublin to mission boulevard looking great at 16, and northbound 85, highway 101 to cupertino, no changes there. wide open at 15 minutes. >> thanks. >> some bay area fire departments say they can't seem to catch a break. >> they're already feeling the strain of this year's fire season and it's barely begun. amy hollyfield live for us in marin county this morning. good morning, amy. >> hi, good morning. firefighters here in marin county are wondering when the season is going to ease up on them, saying it's already very intense and it is early. take a look at the numbers. this is according to our media partner, the marin independent

journal. marin county has sent 76 firefighters, 10 fire engines and a bulldozer north to fight the fires. and they still have some firefighters out with injuries from last year's season which ran late. they have been out since early last week on the flat fire, then the county and pawnee fires. they say the worst part is that it is not even considered the busy time of year yet. this is unusual for june. fire officials tell the ij it is also getting tougher to recruit seasonal help in the tight job market, especially because of the booming construction industry. add all this together and fire departments are stretched thin and they're asking for help. they want everyone in marin county to remember fireworks are not allowed here. and they really need everyone to follow the rules. they say conditions are dry. we have had red flag warnings and people need to be aware that fireworks are not permitted. and on this holiday, firefighters will be taking a

zero tolerance policy. reporting live here,ld amyabc >> thank you. the huge wildfire in yolo county has grown so much, people in napa county are getting ready to evacuate. >> three counties have all been put on notice. encounty fire is now at 60,000 acres. it nearly doubled in size on monday. the fire is now 5% contained. 116 structures are still threatened. many yarareas under evacuation order or advisory. another 1,000 firefighters have been added to the front line. business owners in the effected area say this is really not the holiday they were hoping for. >> we were hoping with fourth of july being on a wednesday, that this whole week would give us a bump. t happening.y, with the >> firefighters told the press democrat they hope to have the fire contained by july 10th. >> a satellite has picked up the vast amount of smoke from the

n the images from the national weather service for the bay area. the marine layer kept most of that air pollution up at higher elevations yesterday. so that's why you didn't see those orange skies like we did over the weekend. >> happening today, we could learn whether both defendants in the deadly ghost ship warehouse fire have agreed to plea deals. >> the bay area news group reports a plea deal has been reached. in exchange for no contest to involuntary manslaughter, derrick almena, the master tena tenant, would be sentenced to nine years in jail. max harris, the artist collective -- excuse me, the artist collective's director would be sentenced to six deals. it would avoid a jury trial. you can be the first to know if a plea deal is reached by downloading our free app and enabling push alerts. we'll also bring you the lupda. >> this morning, officials in thailand are racing against time

to rescue a youth soccer team and their coach. make no mistake, this thing could take a really long time. in fact, we believe take months. they have already gone underground since june 23rd. that's how long that team has been there. floodwaters trapped them, and for now, rescuers are actually supplying this team with four months worth of food. they're hoping that water levels go down, but they say they could be down there for that long. officials say one option to get out is to teach them to swim using special breathing mavs. they're also looking for, i should say, entrances or exits that they could use. >> if they are in a place in the cave that is safe from further flooding, then the safest option is to just keep supplying them in the cave with food and of the ability to purify water. and wait for the the bump pumps draw it down enough for them to come out through dry passage. >> now, we're told these kids, despite being down there, have

been medically evaluated, and that they are doing okay. some of them do have some minor injuries. they expect heavy rains to come down any day now, so they're working against time. they're working as fast as they can, but again, it could take months. back to you. >> thank goodness they're okay for now, and such relief for the families waiting for this news. what a miraculous story. >> a punch in the gut to hear it's going to take so long to get them. >> now to an exclusive. passengers who survived the deadly boat explosion in the bahamas are sharing the terrifying moments for the first time. >> that explosion killed an american woman who was celebrating her 15ths anniversary with her husband. a 22-year-old dancer lost both of her legs and is currently in a coma at a florida hospital. one of the survivors says just minutes after they set sail, the right side of the boat exploded. >> heard a loud explosion. and i was shot up, and i don't know if i hit the ceiling or something, but i landed and i hit something.

i looked around. i saw the man on the ground with his foot kind of twisted in the opposite direction. >> we still don't know what caused the explosion. it remains under investigation. you are never more than seven minutes away from my accuweather forecast. let's start with the temperatures in the north bay where we begin with tiburon at 51. and we end at vallejo at about 58. in between, a lot of 53 to 55-degree temperatures. even up to clear lake, cooler this morning. let's take a look around the rest of our neighborhoods. tracey at 60, and then daley city at 51. a lot of us at 54 to 58. about the same as yesterday. here's a look at some of the clouds that are moving into the bay as we speak. shooting across the san bruno gap and over the san mateo bridge right now. dry all day today, unlike tomorrow with a chance of drizzle if there is a morning commute in the holiday. ferry ride choppy, and mass transit cool this morning but a little warm this afternoon.

especially in the east bay valleys where we jump from 20 degrees at mostly cloudy and 62 to 82 at 2:00. but a very comfortable evening. 8:00, sunny and about 70. not as much haze as yesterday. around san francisco, we'll go mostly cloudy at 8:00. 56. jump up to 60 at 10:00 with increasing sunshine. hang out in the middle 60s in the afternoon hours. back to a hoodie needing 58 as we head towards the evening hours, and our last stop will be down in the south bay where we're seeing an increase in clouds right now. through 8:00, in the 60s. 74 at snoon. near 80 at 4:00, and sunshine and about 69 at 8:00. so i do have some good news for our smoke concerns. but also on the tail end of that, have some temperatures that reach to mid to upper 90s in the seven-day forecast. i'll have that coming up. you have been a bearer of good news most of the morning. >> yes, we are incident free so far today. we really don't have any major problems, and i think we can thank the fourth of july holiday for all of that green you're seeing on the traffic maps right now. of course, there is one exception. and you know that's got to be
