outbreak happens there. solano county declared a state of emergency. you'll recall yesterday we told you that a woman contracted the virus even though she's got no known link to anyone with the illness. health officials stress the solano county patient has no connection to coronavirus evacuees from travis air force base. the protocol followed by federa is being questioned. a whistle-blower complaint review by the "washington post" claims those workers interacted with patients without proper training or gear and left travis and went out to the general population. solano county's public health officer said he couldn't comment on that complaint specifically but did say this -- >> we've been working with our federal partners on the base since they first arrived. i have actually never worked

let's open up the weather window at 6:10 in san jose, heloud cover. the clouds did what we talked about they would do, they made it warmer this morning, 54 degrees. that will push us to nearly the same levels as yesterday. a few record highs are possible. cloudy with a few foggy areas tonight as the onshore breeze develops. it will get rather aggressive this weekend and drop our temperatures nearly 20 degrees before we rebound back to spring warmth. two areas of high pressure are being divided and conquered, it's hurling this mid level and upper level moisture at us, it's not low level so it won't brings bring us a chance of rain.

record highs today, not as warm as yesterday, but they are records. for some reason there's never been a super warm february 28th. upper 60s in richmond and san francisco at 66. tonight, fog out there. high clouds once again, temperatures will hang out in the mid 40s to low 50s. still mild when you step out saturday morning. as we head into the afternoon hours, watch the cold front sweep down from the north, increasing our clouds and trying to give us a slight chance of a rogue shower as we head through the evening hours. sunday morning things are quieter. sunday afternoon, a slight chance of rain across the southern parts of our neighborhoods. as we head deeper into the forecast, there's one computer model that gives us a chance of some wet weather, and it's the only one and that is for sunday. it is about a hundredth of an

inch of rain. let's go to the accuweather seven-day forecast what you will see are temperature s that will be dropping to near 60 degrees. then we'll have wormer weather next week. we'll take a break and be back

welcome back. it is 6:15. as part of our effort to build a better bay area, we're focusing on b.a.r.t. all this week. >> a new study finds the number of commutrs coming into san francisco may soon exceed b.a.r.t.'s capacity, to talk about possible solutions to the problem, we want to bring in jobina fortson to discuss how we can move >> the transbay tube has enabled b.a.r.t. to whisk people across the bay since the 1960s but it may also hold the key to other commute challenges we're facing today. it may not have the postcard cache of the famous bridges, but

the transbay tube whisks b.a.r.t. trains under the bay at peak commute. built in the mid 1960s, it's the key that linked b.a.r.t. together as a true regional system. soon that link could be closer to a choke point. studies predict in about a decade or so, the number of bay area commuters heading into san francisco could outstrip the system's capacity and threaten the goal of getting commuters out of their cars. so what to do about the commute crush? turns out there's more than just one potential solution on the table. there are seven different concepts, even a whirlwind tour could make a commuter breathless. they're outlined in a report called crossings. the first two plans focus on speeding car traffic by widening bridges or building a new bridge near the middle of the bay. but the rest dive into the bay itself. the simplest idea calls for a second parallel tube from oakland to san francisco's embarcadero.

a second b.a.r.t. tube could not only carry passengers much faster but potentially connect to a new tunnel proposed for mission street. now that would definit relieve some of the pressure put on the current market street line. >> crowding on the platform exiting people up to the street level. any new tube, one thing we're looking for is to relieve the pressure. >> what if that second tube aimed south instead, possibly linking up in a new 3rd street station and the fast growing south of market neighborhood in mission bay. imagine popping off b.a.r.t. near the warriors new chase center. then again, what if the new transbay tube took another track altogether using the new crossing for traditional rail to expand the bay area's transbay commute options beyond bart. two of the concept plans focus on a tube linking caltrain with the capital corridor rail lines

creating an expanded rail system that could stretch from sacramento to silicon valley and running san francisco service into the new sales force trans berkeley law professor ethan alkine studies transportation issues. >> it would provided a one-seat ride. i hope that's part of any second crossing that happens with the b.a.r.t. tube. >> for a few bucks more, they say you could even double up on a plan for a combination tube carrying b.a.r.t. and traditional rail essentially side by side or adding a separate lane in the tube for cars carrying cross bay traffic into san francisco. that's it, seven unique concepts for crossing the bay. you might ask how much does it toss to dream this big? anywhere from 10 billion to $100 billion. but transportation is essential for driving one of the nation's most dynamic economies is a bridge or tube we may have to cross yet again in the near future. the crossing study was put together by the metropolitan

transportation commission and association of bay area governments. b.a.r.t. planners told us they're working on a core pacit the transbay system's rider efficiency by 45%. part of that solution calls for hundreds of additional b.a.r.t. cars linked to a more powerful commuter management system. we dedicated our building a better bay area coverage this week to b.a.r.t. you can find all these stories on our website, abc7news.com.

5:00. everybody will have high clouds and sunshine. for the east bay, 53 at 7:00. 68 at 11:00. 70 to 73 from noon to 4:00. if you're heading out have until about 5:00. 65 to 66 degrees during the afternoon hours. tomorrow, the dramatic drop in temperatures, mid 50s to mid 60s as the onshore breeze kicks in. it gets faster and the cold air coming down from alaska takes over for sunday, upper 50s to low 60s. with the winds it will feel cooler than that. on monday, winds back off a little bit and temperatures start to spread, the 70s do back to our inland neighborhoods. the coolest two days will be saturday and sunday. a bit of frost possible on monday morning. jobina? >> thank you, mike. good morning, everyone.

it urns it out your fellow riders may be to blame. check this out. unruly conduct or sick passengers were to blame for late trains from october to december of last year. the newspaper looked at new data presented to b.a.r.t.'s board of directors. it shows b.a.r.t. trains were on time around 92% of the time during that three-month people. officials say people who rushed the doors when the train is closing contributed to the delays. you've seen it before. you'll likely see it this morning as you head out to catch that b.a.r.t. train. uber launched a new translation feature to its app to help people traveling abroad. it's designed to make it easier for riders and drivers to communicate through texting. the app uses google translate. would appear in the driver's preferred language. the latest advice on protecting yourself against coronavirus. and i'm anser hassan in san mateo county where later today the county office of education
