>> good morning. i'm scott mcgrew as i mentioned. let's go to christina loren with an hour-by-hour forecast. >> what is your name? >> i'm scott mcgrew. i'm christina loren. i like to say my own name, too. 42 in san jose. 43 in santa cruz. we have dense fog out there on the east bay and the north bay. the peninsula is getting socked in as well. more of the onshore flow means it has been fog-free over the peninsula and south bay for the past few days. that's really going to change heading through tomorrow morning where we are expecting widespread fog to start you off. but for today, it will be unusually warm once again. tonight the fog starts to roll in right around 11:00 p.m. that could hamper your evening plans. keep that in mind. keep a safe driver with you tonight. you know what i love about fridays? mike inouye never wears a tie on a casual friday. i love that about you. no ties friday. there you go. we are looking for a no-rain weekend. too bad.

we'll look at the roadways. we have an accident to report. no injuries but westbound 880, the upper deck heading through treasure island, you may get slow near the accident being moving to the side of the roadway. very tough to tow it to the side of the roadway heading into the tunnel. watch for slowing there. northbound 880ed a broadway we have a disabled vehicle blocking the slow lane heading into downtown. friday light keeps things moving smoothly through downtown so far. we'll watch that. the fog advisory has officially been given, but i'm going to issue my own for the bay bridge toll plaza. there's the buildup near the incline. we are watching for additional slowing because of the accidents so far. trust me, that's friday normal for 6:00 a.m. it is tough to see anything beyond the s-curve there. we'll get a live look at the golden gate bridge because chp issued an advisory for the golden gate bridge, the venetian bridge and cartinas bridges as well. you can see the fog is very thick and makes it tough to see. it will get worse throughout the east bay over the course of the

morning. mike, thank you much. new this morning in 2 1/2 hours the current police chief anthony batts will make his first appearance since he acknowledged he didn't get the top job in the city. >> "today in the bay's" krischre smith is live with this story. >> reporter: good morning to you, marla. this is the million-dollar question here in oakland. it seems to follow chief anthony batts everywhere he goes. you ask people here, and they like what he's done with the resources that he has. but the question is now does he want to stay in oakland? and for now it looks like he may stick around if he gets some of the changes that he believes he needs to improve his diplomat. now, he did not get the police chief job in san jose where he's been one of two finalists. a source tells nbc bay area that san jose leaders were concerned with his background and personal issues as top cop when he was

back in long beach. now, in oakland he's got some major concerns of his own telling the "tribune" that the department is underfunded and in need of the very basics to get the job done. and he certainly didn't like the decision to layoff 80 police officers back in july. he's only working with about 656 officers right now, down 20% from when he took over the job back in october of 2009. that saying i have not made a final decision with my future in the agency. it still needs to be determined if i'm a fit for the city of oakland. he's going to make his first public appearance later on this morning at oakland technical high school. reporting live in oakland, christie smith, "today in the bay." all right. now we'll turn to the bay area's largest city. sources inside the san jose police department tell nbc bay area that chris moore will be the next police chief of san jose. the official announcement is expected to come on tuesday.

moore is a scholar, lawyer and 29-year veteran of the san jose police department. but despite those accolades the new chief is facing resistance from community groups throughout the city. "today in the bay's" bob redell is joining us live in san jose with a look at why some people are criticizing this pick. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning to you, scott. some advocacy groups argue that san jose police need to change the way it deals with minorities. and they argue that that can't happy sticking with an insider like acting police chief chris moore to run the department. that's why later today there will be groups representing asians, african-americans and latinos protesting over here where i'm at here asking the city council not to confirm moore has the city's police chief when the council meeting this upcoming tuesday. instead, they would like to see oakland's police chief anthony battz get the job. he would be the first african-american police chief and he's an outsider activists

believe could bring change to the police force. in recent years there's been charges of discrimination leading to a lot of mistrust among people in the latino and asian communities of san jose. critics argue that nothing will change by going with chris moore since he's a veteran of this department, but moore's defenders point out in at least one instance he tried to smooth over relations with minorities. san jose used to impound a huge amount of cars if an unlicensed driver was pulled over for a minor traffic violence. this causes many thousands of dollars. chris moore ended that practice. the city manager will officially present moore to the city council. that meeting is next tuesday, as i mentioned. the members of council will have a chance to ask moore a question and give him a yea or nay. he'll have no trouble receiving approval it is thought. bob redell for "today in the bay." a funeral will be held today for an 18-year-old shot and killed while riding his bicycle.

the media. many consumer advocates have complained the commission was holding too many closed door meetings about pg&e's role in the explosion. it killed eight people and destroyed dozens of homes. three chilling minutes caught on tape. we are now hearing what it was like for employees at a peet's coffee shop caught in the middle of crossfire. san jose police releasing the 911 recording of the murder suicide involving wane sanchez, the brother of jeanine harms. sanchez killed the man suspected of murdering his sister and then turned the gun on himself. here's that call. >> okay, stay on the phone. >> go, go, go, go in the bathroom! go! >> okay. and so this guy -- >> oh, my god! oh, my god! >> maurice nasmeh was arrested in connection with the 2001

"today in the bay's" bob redell is joining us live in san jose the morning with a look at why some people are criticizing this pick. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning to you, marla. well, some advocacy groups argue that sjpd needs to deal and change with the way they deal with those minorities in the city. they need to look for an outsider like chief anthony batts instead of chris moore. the groups do plan to protest later today and ask the city council not to approve moore's

recommendation for the top job here in san jose when that comes up for a vote on tuesday. right now i'm joined by the president of the san jose police officers association. i guess your reaction to these groups claiming that chris moore shouldn't have the job because he's an insider would be more of the same. >> if that is true, i think that's really unfortunate considering the fact that the city manager did a nationwide search. he came back with two candidates who are very well qualified. chief batts has worked in long beach and in oakland. and our own chris moore who has risen through the ranks. chris is very well qualified. he's a bright scholar. he is an attorney. and he's also had a 29-year fellowship. for us not to give chris a chance if he is the chief to police, i think that's unfair.

>> reporter: do you know why he won out over chief batts? >> i do not. i have not been officially notified that anyone has been selected for chief of police. i do know that chief batts has been on tv saying that chris moore did receive the position. but no one has officially said there's been a selection to chief of police here. >> reporter: as far as the rank in file here, how involved are you into giving input to the city manager as far as what you would like to see become the next chief? >> well, from the poa point of view, we told the city manager what we want the best qualified candidate whatever he or she may be. whether you go inside or outside of the department. we do believe we have talent here. i think the city manager figone did a good job reaching out to city holders.

she did attend a number of briefings to get direct input from them. so she certainly, in my opinion, did her homework. >> reporter: all right. thank you very much for being up here early in the morning. the city manager will present chris moore at their meeting this upcoming tuesday. members of the council will have the opportunity to ask him questions and give hem him a yeah or nay. it is said he won't have any problem receiving approval. bob redell for "today in the bay." this morning a possible silver lining for hot flashes. a new study shows the uncomfortable symptoms many women have during menopause could actually reduce the risk of developing breast cancer later. "today in the bay's" tracie potts is live in washington with more. >> reporter: hi, scott. good morning, everyone. the report from seattle's fred hutchinson cancer center talked to all of 1,500 women, many who had breast cancer, were talked

to about their cancer and found those experiencing hot flashes would have a 50% reduced chance of breast cancer. that's a huge amount. the actual numbers are small when you consider a woman who is 50 years old and has a 2% chance of developing breast cancer. but that goes down to 1% if she's experiencing those hot flashes. that also carries across other age groups as well. why? because during menopause there are lots of hormonal changes as you are aware, aresearchers found those hormones affect the risk of breast cancer when they are elevated. it elevates the risk. with this information they believe when the hormone levels are lowered it lowers the risk as well. >> tracie potts reporting in washington. thank you, have a great weekend. we have been talking about this story all morning long. chinese bloggers may have caught their government in a bad spot. >> a few days ago state

television showed an air force training exercise, but it looks like they were really showing clips from the 1987 tom cruise movie "top gun." i think the pattern is pretty clear here, ghost rider. side-by-side comparisons put together by bloggers. what aired is on the left. and the movie is on the right. it started when someone noticed the jet being shot down by an american aircraft. at least the footage is not accompanied by -- there you be. >> i can never get enough of tom cruise in that money. 40 degrees in concord right now. 44 in hayward. dense fog pushing from the east bay into the north bay. we have widespread fog even in the south bay along the peninsula. likely whereever you are headed you will encounter the fog. stay alert. high pressure is driving our warm conditions over the past few days pushing these winds

from land to sea. that's why it has been so warm. we have a change today with more of the onshore flow with the system of low pressure pushing on. for us that means the fog is really moving in heading through tonight. that marine layer is back. then as we head through 6:00 p.m. tomorrow that's when the first line of showers will start to push onshore. showers throughout the first part of your sunday. and then clearing for the second half of sunday, probably some good fog as we wake up on sunday morning. then monday morning in particular. here's a look at the extended forecast. we are back in the 50s saturday and sunday. a few showers on the way. don't wash that car. speaking of which, if you are about to get into your car, a lot of things are happening out there. yompblts uh. you may get a little mist on your car this morning. also, we are looking at an accident, several accident on westbound 280 with debris in the roadway. we have seen six or more accidents. you cannot see the debris on the roadway and couldn't see the car in front of you get into the accident. there it is along the peninsula

as christina was telling you. it is slowing in the city and across the bridge with fog advisories. here's a shot of the toll plaza. we'll leave you with a sunny story. a gorilla out of a british zoo is an international sensation for the way he walks. >> take a look at this video. this is bam-bam. i want to know where bob redell was when this was shot. he walks on his hind legs. his father used to do this when his hands were full. his sister and half-sister also picked up the trait. gorillas normally prefer to get around on all fours. >> i love it. thank you for joining us this morning. the "today" show is up next. have a great weekend. >> bye-bye.
