at the coast while we warm to 70 around the bay by noon. 82 inland, and 76 and 92. a little summer spread once again. it will be a little more comfortable this evening than last evening with 50s at the coast, upper 60s to upper 70s around the bay and inland. that's your 12-hour planner. remember, you can download our app, it's free. here's alexis. >> good morning. we're looking good so far today. light volumes here on the san mateo bridge. even westbound 92 looking great. you should not have any issues if you're leaving hayward heading over toward foster city and same thing with the countercommute, the eastbound side light. it should stay light the majority of the morning. quick check of drive times looking good getting out of the walnut creek area. about six minutes, and another eight if you're continuing westbound on 24 from walnut creek to highway 13. our onlytrive time in the yellow so far, westbound 580, tracy to dublin at 51 minutes. next traffic update in about ten. >> this morning, police are still looking for the gunman in

say, in the line of fire. and his car was hit by stinett's suv. he explains the experience. >> once you hear the fire pops, the guy in the suv hits me, and we both turn around. i'm lucky the other cars didn't hit me or hit him. >> frightening situation. the chp says there's no reason to believe the shooting was completely random. we know officers are continuing to review footage and examine evidence collected at the scene. we're told that chp is looking for a silver or gray sedan or small suv, and in the next hour, we'll hear from chp officers about their investigation. from now, reporting live at the bay bridge toll plaza. >> thank you, amanda. it's a fire that's making state history. the mendocino complex fire is now the largest california wildfire ever. >> together, the ranch and river fires have burned nearly 284,000 acres. the larger ranch fire is just 21% contained. last year's thomas fire in

southern california held the previous record as the state's fire. that burned 282,000 acres. meanwhile, fire crews still on the scene of a small grass fire that threatened some structures last night. >> this broke out just after 9:00 at leslie and roof roads in gilroy. hilly terrain made it challenging for fire crews to access the fire, and at last check, the fire had burned five acres of grass. firefighters have stopped the spread, but they are still trying to contain it. roads are closed in the area because of the fire engines that have responded. crews in southern california have a burning fire. the latest update came in at about 8:00 last night. the fire had burned 4,000 acres with zero percent containment. at least two firefighters are being treated for heat related injuries because they're also dealing with triple digit

temperatures. meanwhile, two hikers also in that area getting trapped near the fire. you can see a helicopter wooping in there and hoisting two people to safety. the fire is burning near a popular trail. within the next few days, the ntsb plans to release its preliminary investigation report about the plane from the east bay that crashed in orange county. video shows the small plane taking a nose dive on sunday. it had taken off from concord. the pilot was a ceo of a san francisco company called category 3. his wife lara was also on the plane as well as her coworkers. they worked at a real estate office in danville. hakimi's son naveed was also on board. >> just about remembering those we lost and letting the families know that our thoughts and prayers are with them, and whatever we can do to help, we will. >> the final crash report isn't expected for at least a year. >> an update now on a fire that killed three people, including

14-year-old twins. vallejo police are now treating the case as a homicide. the home went up in flames sunday morning. a younger sister escaped and flagged down a police car. the twins and presumably their mother did not make it. investigators tell abc 7 news it looks like the fire was set deliberately. friends of the two girls said there had been some problems at the home but would not elaborate. the girls went to bethel high school in vallejo. >> a modesto man will spent 15 years in prison for his role in a plot to kill people at san francisco's pier 39. a judge sentenced everitt jameson yesterday. he pleaded gate of trying to help isis carry out an attack last fall. he told an undercover agent he planned to use pipe bombs and then shoot at people running away. once he's released from prison, he'll spend the rest of his life on probation. >> a group of san francisco

tenants are suing lanlereds claiming the landlords are using the ellis act to discrimination against the lgbtq community. neighbors rallied in front of a house near the corner of guerrero and 15th streets to protest the eviction. the tenants include three drag queens and a gay man. among the other claims they have, the lawsuit alleges the landlords disposed of patio furniture and a barbecue to discourage lgbtq parties. >> we used to do four, five, six, ten barbecues a year, hang out with friends back there. we haven't been able to do that in two and a half years, which means they don't want our kind of people on their property. >> we should note the landlords say the allegations are false. you are never more than seven minutes away from my accuweather forecast. let's take a look at temperatures. we've got mid 50s just about all the way across. top to bottom, east bay shore from richmond at 53. same thing at san leandro.

union city, 56. the warm spot. keep heading to the east, 60s in the east bay valleys. livermore the except at 58. los gatos, 56. 48, novato, and santa rosa and looks like daly city, and also down towards pacifica at 50 degrees. here's a look at some of the fog you'll contend with across the golden gate bridge. air issues if you're out exercising this afternoon. lake, mendocino, and out towards tracy. beaches cool and breezy today, even cooler than yesterday, and out on the bay, small craft advisory starts at noon for the entire bay, and it goes until 9:00 this evening. that's when it will be breezy and choppy. up in the north bay, 58 with partly cloudy conditions at 8:00. 79 at noon. hanging out in the mid 80s during the afternoon hours. look a that, comfortable 71 by 8:00. and then east bay valley, 64 at 8:00, and 82 at noon, and

hanging out in the low to mid 90s this afternoon. going to be another kind of stuffy one in the east bay valleys. we'll look at the accuweather seven-day forecast, even hotter weather coming, but right now, let's see what alexis is watching. >> not too much. it's been a really quiet start to the tuesday morning commute. certainly some good news there. we are hearing reports of a brush fire, though, on northbound 680 before bear eesa road. sounds like possibly brush on the side of the freeway. fire crews are responding, not seeing delays right now. doesn't sound like it's too major but i'm keeping an eye on that. we have a giants day game today. if you're planning on taking golden gate ferry to the game, there's overflow parking available at redwood high school in the east lot, and they'll run shirtals to the terminal at 10:36, 10:46, and 10:26. that's a 12:45 start for the giants. >> in today's gma first look, we're hearic from a texas a&m senior who took her graduation photo with a giant alligator.

and you're looking live at san jose. 87, just south of mineta san jose international, and just to the east of the shark tank. it's clear right now at about 63 degrees. you're going to jump up to 86 today. 4 degrees warmer than average in napa at 87. the biggest jump is the inland east bay neighborhoods. 6 degrees warmer in livermore at 94. san francisco, you're cooler because of the clouds and mist and sea breeze that will hang around all day. >> new this morning, the wist hollywood city council has passed a largely symbolic resolution asking for the removal of president trump's star from the hollywood walk of fame. the star was destroyed two weeks ago by a man with a pick ax. council members raised concerned about president trump's treatment of women and

minorities in their resolution, but it's unlikely anything will happen here. hollywood chamber of commerce says it does not remove stars from the walkway. president trump given the star in 2007 for his producing work on the miss universe pageant. >> a common drug used to treat blood pressure and heart failure under a major recall because it contains a chemical that can cause cancer. >> the drug can lead to the cancer mdma. medications containing it do not reach their safety requirements. >> we have a full list of the medications affected by the recall on our website, abc7news.com. the fda recommends checking with your doctor if you're impacted by the recall. >> no one likes to get stuck at a red light, but new technology could alleviation the frustration. some new audi models can tell drivers when the light is going to turn green. the traffic light information system is in place in ten cities

nationwide, including palo alto. when it comes in range of a traffic transmitting signal, an icon of a traffic light appears. it counts down the seconds until the light will turn green. the tech has a lot of potential. >> next step is to reverse that and have the vehicle send information to the traffic signal so that we can then have the vehicle be the detector versus an in-ground loop orvideo detection. >> other cities include arcadeio, las vegas, and portland. >> amazon's echo has taken over tens of millions of households but it's far from taking over the online shopping market. the information out of the 50 million users, just 100,000 of them have bought something using the voice assistant. of course, it's difficult to buy stuff when you can't actually see it or check out reviews. but amazon originally had high hopes that the echo would lead to a boom in online purchases. so far, it doesn't appear to be

the case. and that, folks, is the newest verz of spacex's rockett 9 rocket successfully blasting off to space from cape canaveral overnight. the variant can be reused up to ten times, making missions in outer space much cheaper. the rocket debuted in may. it's already been used three times. the mission is carrying telecommunication satellite equipment for indonesia. >> those 11 bank employees in the south bay who won $543 million in the mega millions jackpot say they plan on keeping their jobs. the employees work at this wells fargo branch in san jose. they each put in $2 into the office pool and ended up after federal taxes with at least $19 million each. wells fargo has brought other

employees to help out at the branch to deal with crowds attracted by the bank's newfound fame. >> some familiar faces but a lot of new faces which didn't make sense to me because i was told that they're going to keep their job here. >> do you blame them? >> no, i don't. i don't buy that. >> i'm with him. the winning ticket was bought at ernie's liquor store in south san jose last month. the $543 million jackpot is the largest prize won in california lotto history. >> i don't buy it. >> real cute that they're going the first couple days. >> that's nice. i agree. >> i think it will last two weeks. >> you're giving it two weeks. >> you're giving it two days? >> yeah. >> wonder if there's benefits. do you need benefits after that? are you still working for those? >> like health benefits and 401(k)? >> you could buy it on your own at that point. $19 million, right? >> oh, my goodness. i would like to have those

problems. >> go in and make friends with them now. >> let's talk about what's going on outside. if you have friends coming into sfo or business acquaintance, partly cloudy and 54 degrees. there's a possibility of some delays there. stronger sea breeze today, but still going to be hot inland while all rest of us will be comfortable. tonight, low clouds and fog come back. we have a warming trend still coming, but by the weekend, going to be nonexistent. great for outdoor activities. here's a look at the yare caw of low pressure, so dominant over the eastern pacific. today, bringing us more of a sea breeze. the closer you are to the breeze coming off the cool water, the cooler you'll be this afternoon. sunnyvale, 81. low to mid 90s around los gatos and morgan hill. low to mid 80s on the peninsula today. as you head northward towards the san bruno gap where the cool air is shootin through, mid to upper 70s. along the coast, see the white? the clouds going to be more stubborn today. that means upper 50s to low 60s.

then mid 60s in downtown to upper 60s in south san francisco and sausalito. low 60s, a little more sunshine around the north bay coast. as you move inland, we'll have sunshine and mid 80s to mid 90s. east bay shore, one of the mildest spots with temperatures in the mid to upper 70s here and some of our hottest temperatures, mid to upper 90s in the east bay valleys even as you het to brentwood, 102. my seven-day forecast, going to stay halt inland wednesday and thursday, but the bay will get a touch of that as we reach the mid 80s. near 70 at the coast thursday, and by the time we get to saturday and sunday, back to the 60s. low 60s at the coast, near 80 around the bay, and near 90 inland. that looks pretty good. alexis. >> it sure does. the roads are looking good, too. we really have not had any major problems so far today. just looking at typical slow spots starting to fill in, and one getting out of tracy. westbound 205 to 580, down to 7 miles per hour, and 14 miles per hour respectively. no issues for the north bay so

far this morning. here's a live look at 101 through the san rafael stretch. we could have fog. golden gate bridge is looking pretty foggy, but no dense fog advisory in effect right now. the only drive time in the red that is slow, westbound 580, tracy to dublin, up to about 54 minutes. southbound 680, dublin to mission boulevard in the green at 16, and highway 85, 101 to cupertino looking great at 13 minutes. you guys have got to take a look at this incredible video from a highway in toronto. follow the blue circle. a car plows through a green suv that was stranded on the median. hard to watch. debris and people go flying everywhere. on the left, a man in shorts picking himself off the road. he had been thrown from the white car. now, i know you're thinking how is anyone even alive after this. two people were hospitalized, they are okay. and the video was captured by a tow truck driver getting set up in front of this disabled vehicle. and on his facebook page, he said people need to slow down.

you think? >> yeah. >> my goodness. how terrifying would that be? i mean, it's just incredible that no one was seriously hurt. >> you know this all too well, but it's so dangerous to stop on the road, you never know what's going to come at you. >> in this situation, it looks like there wasn't law enforcement there with flashing lights given them a warning, and upstairs we were talking about this before the show. what should those people have done? and it's really situational in all of my years of reporting traffic, law enforcement says where are you safest? in your vehicle, off the shoulder, maybe in this case in the tow truck. just glad everybody is okay. >> amazing everyone survived that. >> actual miracle. thanks. >> a small fire inside at&t park didn't stop the giants game last night. abc 7 was inside the ballpark after what appeared to be a grease fire broke out inside a concession stand. it happened while the giants took batting practice on the field. the ballpark workers used a fire

breeze. you can see the winds all blowing from the oceans into our neighborhoods. even some mist along the coast and into san francisco with the clouds covering the embarcadero, at least the top of that, and the salesforce camera at pier 15. let's roll out the 12-hour planner. the morning temperatures remain the same. mid to upper 50s. the afternoon temperatures just slightly cooler at the coast and around the bay because of the slower sunshine. but inland, we're still going to hit the 90s. pretty comfortable evening on the way. 50s at the coast to 60s around the bay and 70s inland. let's find out about the morning commute. >> hey, yeah. no major issues so far this morning. looking live at the bay bridge where we had a night mare on the eastbound side yesterday. today, looking great. looking at a little fog when you make it over to the san francisco side, and got word that the metering lights are on if you're coming in from the east bay. that happened around 5:26 this morning. it's ramping up but that's about it.

it, they aren't so sure this is the right answer. >> that would be good. it would be okay, but you know, privacy. you don't want to cross that line. you know? just, you know, targeting somebody. >> kind of a big brother dragnet approach. this is very targeted of folks who have a warrant out for their arrest. >> that's one idea. one part of b.a.r.t.'s plan is already in effect. you will now see more officers patrolling the system. b.a.r.t. has temporarily canceled days off for its officers so they will now be working six ten-hour days a week. this is temporary, but officials say does boost the visible presence of officers. so proposals like this one can be done with the general managers authority, but other ideas like the facial recognition technology, that needs the board's approval. that idea will be presented to the board at this week's meeting

on thursday. reporting live from the dublin b.a.r.t. station, amy hollyfield, abc 7 news. >> abc7news.com and the app full of b.a.r.t. resources including advice on what you should do if you feel unsafe on the system. the mendocino complex wildfire is now the largest wildfire event in california history. >> it's made up of two fires but crews are treating this as one event, and together, the ranch and river fires have scorched 283,000 acres. the smaller river fire is 58% contained. the ranch fire, just 21% contained. firefighters say this is one of the most challenging wildfie seasons they have seen. >> we're looking at over 629,000 acres of ground and vegetation burned in the state of california since july 1st of this year. last year, same period of time, 223,000 acres. mendocino complex surpasses last year's massive thomas fire which burned in santa barbara

and ventura counties. >> in redding, firefighters are making progress on the carr fire. they have it 47% contained. the carr fire has destroyed nearly 1100 homes and burned 164,000 acres of land. it's blamed for at least seven deaths. meanwhile, the airbnb community opening its doors to wildfire evacuees and relief workers. each stay is free. you can find beds or rooms at airbnb.com. if you would like to help, you can offer the use of your own home. >> the sonoma county board of supervisor will consider a plan to install a network of web cameras to help emergency responders spot wildfires. it would cost the county $475,000. eight cameras would be positioned on communication towers and other existing structures to spot fires in the lake sonoma watershed. the technicians creating the cameras hope they'll one day allow firefighters to detect wildfires the moment they begin. >> happening today, california lawmakers will hold a joint

hearing to try to solve the issue of those extremely long wait times at state dmv offices. phil ting from san francisco and jim frasier from contra costa county will spearhead efforts to find solutions. wait times have grown out of control because of a crush of people trying to get the federally compliant real i.d. the dmv recently expanded saturday hours to try to cut down on wait times. now to the peninsula where one city the debating how high the buildings should rise into the sky. they were at san mateo city haunl as the city council rejected a ballot proposal. it would have asked voters to extend the city's current five-story limit for another ten years. that limit expires in 2020. supporters of the proposal says the city doesn't have the infrastructure to support taller buildings and the large population that would come along with it. opponents argue the city needs more housing. san francisco police want to find two people who beat and robbed an elderly man. police say the attackers were a

man and woman who offered the 86-year-old a ride. happened in the mission district saent night. police say the attackers asked the man if he needed a ride near 16th and hoff streets. he got in, they asked for his money, and then punched him as he tried to get out. the man expected to be okay. >> the paul manafort trial continues today in verirginia there was damaging testimony yesterday in the trial. the prosecution's star witness rick gates took the stand and testified he helped his former boss commit crimes. manafort's accused of falsifying tax returns and failing to report millions in income. gates told jurors that over several years. they hid their income in foreign bank accounts. he says at least some of the money that was hidden came from manafort's work on behalf of ukrainian politicians with deep ties to russia. you're never more than seven minutes away from my accuweather forecast. let's get the current conditions up in the mendocino complex fires. the ranch fire, calm in the

valleys. temperature, 61. up about 2800 feet, though, in the river fire, we did have winds gusting out of the northwest at 14 to 22 just about an hour ago. so even at night, the higher elevations are still staying breezy. in the lower elevations, it's going to remain calm through 10:00 and we'll pick up this afternoon, possibly up to 15 miles per hour at 4:00, and then the winds taper once again. so in that respect, conditions improving for the firefighters, and in this respect, getting more dangerous as we'll reach 98 today. 100 tomorrow and thursday. and then mid to upper 90s all the way through monday. cool weather right now, as we take a look at our east bay valleys. temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s in most neighborhoods. 63 in danville, 62 in pleasanton. antioch at 69, some of the warm spots. that's about all of the areas we have save the south bay. 65 in san jose. low to mid 50s around the bay shore, and upper 40s to low 50s in the north bay. quick look at the san mateo bridge.

you can see no mist to deal with here. that's definitely as you get closer to the coast this morning. it's also where you'll find fog. don't forget, a little choppy, a little blustery on the bay this afternoon. and for mass transit, the huge summer spread. you may need jackets when you leave san francisco, but you don't want one on in the east bay this afternoon. we'll switch gears and bring alexis in and see if people are able to switch gears this morning unlike yesterday. >> really has been a big 180 from yesterday's commute. we're not looking at any major incidents so far today. so that is definitely good news. one of our only slow spots is the bay bridge toll plaza. official word that the metering lights were on came down at 5:26, just a few minutes ago, but things are filling in back to the maze. unless you're using the carpool lanes. you'll have a wait. mass transit looking good as well. b.a.r.t., 48 trains in service. no delays there. ace rails 1 and 3 on time out of the central valley, and quickly

want to mention golden gate ferry, we have a giants day game. larkspur will be packed and there's additional overflow parking available in redwood high school. free shuttles will take you over to the terminal, but you want to make it there in plenty of time to do that. next traffic update in about ten minutes. >> alexis, thank you. we're getting a first look at the man accused of putting an m-80 style firework under a sonoma county sheriff's deputy car. the department shared this picture of tristan proto. he decided to light the firework because he doesn't like the sheriff's office. happened at the guerneville safeway parking lot. proto tried to run from the scene, but he was caught. the bomb squad responded and blew up his backpack fearing it contained other explosives. and investigators also say proto was doing meth before the explosion. >> a controversial show about to

start filming again in the north bay. and a lot of us use payment and a lot of us use payment systems like apple pay i'm a small business, but i have... big dreams... and big plans. so how do i make the efforts of 8 employees... feel like 50? how can i share new plans virtually? how can i download an e-file? virtual tours? zip-file? really big files? in seconds, not minutes... just like that. like everything... the answer is simple. i'll do what i've always done... dream more, dream faster, and above all... now, i'll dream gig. now more businesses, in more places, can afford to dream gig.

back to chicago one day later on another american flight. the airlie blaming the issue on miscommunication. two fast paced programs are getting east bay kids off the streets and onto a course that challenges their physical and mental skills. in richmond, the city recently opened a new bmx bike course called dirt world. city funds and donations helped build the course in hopes of luring kids off the streets. that's where the program flood the streets with bikes is based. founder howard cato was paralyzed during a shooting, and cato says what fueled his rehabilitation was the goal of returning to bmx bike racing. >> they helped me get back into it, so i think for me, it's pretty much helping give back to my community for the good things it has done to me, i can help the next kid do that. >> both dirt world and flood the streets with bikes have partnered with gofundme to raise money for those programs. if you would like more

information on the programs, we have links at abc7news.com. >> a new jersey woman has a lesson she would like to teach others. it's important to conduct acts of kindness because you never know who you're going to be helping. >> ruth reed said on friday she saw a customer at a gas station having an issue with his credit card at the register. she offered to pick up his tab. >> what's your name, ruth. he said, ruth, i'm keith. i said, that's who you look like, keith urban. do people tell you you look like keith urban. he said i am him. i said, no, you're not. reed says it takes some convincing before she believed the country music star. >> i said really, really? then where is nicole and who was that woman you were with? and snippy, not nice. and so -- >> you got snippy with keith urban. >> yes, and he said it's my sister. we can ask her. i said, okay, i don't think she would lie to some old lady. >> she was not having it. but then she realized that there were bodyguards around.

she realized her mistake and says that urban was kind to her, stuck $5 in the donation box at the register, and happily took a picture with her. >> ruth said who is that woman you're with? >> i like that. hey, nicole kidman, she was looking out for you. >> she's got your back. >> that's right. >> and where were the bodyguards or his sister bailing him out when his card wasn't working? why is his card not working? >> that's another question. >> my main question. >> decline. >> what's going on there? >> more questions than answers this morning, alexis. >> i want to know why is he shopping for himself? >> ruth was there and she got a picture out of it. >> congratulations to her. we have a couple sunrise developing because we have more cloud cover than yesterday. we have some smoke off in the distance. you can see san jose, 280 at 17. about 63 degrees. it's going to become sunny just

about everywhere but the coast where the clouds will be more dominant in the summer spread today of nearly 37 degrees. low clouds, fog, and drizzle coming back tonight, and the heat that's building the next couple days, it won't be around for the weekend. here's a look at the cloud cover. you can see it spreading through more neighborhoods this morning than yesterday morning. but it will also pull back to the coast and you can see the solid white there, but there's some blue showing up so there will be pockets of sunshine along the coast, especially as you head down towards say, santa cruz where it's 75 today. now you head inland, look at los gatos, morgan hill, and gilroy. low to upper 90s. most of the south bay around milpitas to 86 in san jose. quite a spread on the mince from 85 at redwood city to millbrae at 83. 66 to 68, downtown south san francisco. then we jump to the mid 80s to mid 90s as you head northbound through the north bay valleys. along the east bay shore, mid to upper 70s, very comfortable for you, and pain to stay cool, mid

90s to 102 in the east bay valleys. tonight's temperature, 51 in santa rosa to antioch at about 64. my accuweather seven-day forecast, still have the mid to upper 90s and near 100 wednesday and thursday. inland with low to mid 80s around the bay and comfortable around the coast in the 60s. >> hey, good morning. i want to head back to the south bay where it sounds like crews are still on the scene of some type of brush fire. they are still sorting out the exact location, but it is right around the northbound side of 680 around berryessa road. we could have an on ramp or off ramp blocked in the area. i don't believe we have lanes on the main line blocked. also seeing a little bit of heavy traffic in northbound 101 between 280, 680, about halfway to the 880 merge. down to 16 miles per hour. no incidents reported in that area, so seems like it's a little early for that to be in the red. i'm keeping an eye on that, too. you're okay once you make it to 880, though.

101 northbound, and no delays on the southbound side. we'll look at drive times just before 6:00. >> new at 6:00, the new warning going out this morning about tech that is supposed to help us drive. it could be doing the opposite. >> but first, facebook responding after a report that it's asking major banks to provide financial data on its users. plus, a woman with cerebral palsy gets turned away from a local just when you thought you were done painting... ...you discover paint bleed under your tape... not with froape! frogtape is the only painter's tape treated with patented paintblock technology. paintblock reacts with the water in latex paint to form a micro-barrier against paint bleed, giving you the sharpest lines possible. get professional results with frogtape... no messy lines, no paint bleed. for sharp lines every time, frog it!

as the fires rage on, so does the poor air quality. anything red, dark. red like magenta all the way up to the hazardous, that is taking

over. at least about a quarter of the state, which is unfortunate. back here at home, we're doing okay, but we'll keep an eye on places like tracy and ukiah that had poor air quality yesterday. >> thanks. facebook is disputing a "wall street journal" article published yesterday that said the social network company is asking major banks to provide financial data on its users. >> they sought transaction and account balances. a facebook spokesperson called the story incorrect. the statement reads, quote, like many online companies with commerce businesses, we partner with banks and credit card companies to offer services like customer chat or account management. facebook is trying to get more banks to get on their messenger platform, believing it can provide better customer service than being placed on hold over the phone. >> so many of us use services like venmo now, and consumer reports is raising some concerns about those peer-to-peer payment systems. the organization checked out five systems, apple pay, facebook payments and messenger,

venmo, square's cash, and zell. it found they're generally safe, but there are some risks. the study finds ptp systems could impose more detection including defaulting to the highest security level. users would then have to opt out to use a lower security setting. consumer reports also says most of the systems need to do more to tell you how they're using your personal information. >> taking a look at the roads here this morning, extremely quiet. no major incident to talk about, which we're hoping it stays that way. the bay bridge toll plaza is busy. those metering lights on pretty early, 5:26, the official time. unless you're using carpool lanes you'll have to wait to get through the metering lights. westbound 580, tracy to dublin is improving, down to 50 minutes. westbound 4, antioch to concord filling in, and westbound 101 still looking great in the green at 15 minutes. let's check in with mike nicco. >> thank you very much. and i want to check in with the

giants and the astros. a rare tuesday afternoon game. 12:45, first pitch. 60 under full on sunshine. 66 by the end of the game. it will be breezy. it's african-american heritage night as the dodgers come to town to take on the a's. an evening game. 69, cooling down to 61 with increasing clouds. let's talk about hector as he continues to barrel towards hawaii. it's still a category 4. winds are down to 130. it will see a minor weakening as it passes south of the islands. but it's going to create dangerous surf, a lot of rain, possibly flooding and wind damage as we head from tuesday to about friday. >> thank you, mike. a michigan woman's heart' warming act of kindness has caught the attention of the world. >> she helped a disabled woman who had been turned away from a nail salon. look at this. this photo going viral shows walmart employee ebony harris skipping her lunch break to paint angela peters' nails. she suffers from cerebral palsy.

she had been turned away from a local salon because the monacurest said she couldn't do her nails. this was not in the bay area. harris overheard all of this. she wanted to do something to help. >> we're not trying to bash the nail salon. we're not trying to make them lose customers, make them look bad. but maybe spread awareness that no matter the person, who they are, what color they are, disability, whatever, they're people too. >> peters and harris plan to continue their friendship. >> coming up new at 6:00, a health alert about sleep. researchers now saying you can get too much. >> and the new interview with the father of that missing college student with some bay area ties. he now says his daughter has been kidnapped, and she may have known the suspect. >> you're looking live at a new >> you're looking live at a new wildfire

it is foggy now, but it's about to heat up again by this afternoon. warm temperatures will blanket the bay area and for some of us, the air quality could get worse. there is an air advisory. air quality advisory in the north and the east bays today. right now, off to a cool start. >> 6:00 a.m. good morning to you on this tuesday, august 7th. you're never more than seven minutes away from the accuweather forecast. here's meteorologist mike nicco. >> we'll talk about what's going on outside. look at the gray infiltrating more of our neighborhoods this morning, as i roll the last three hours of live doppler 7, the gray being the cloud cover. a little mist and drizzle as you near the coast, and also the golden gate bridge and the bay bridge. my accuweather 12-hour planner, mid to upper 50s at 7:00, and you can see the 50s are going to cling to the coast while we'll hit 70 around the bay, 82
