monterey, cloud build-up for the weekend. sierra locations may see more thunder but for the bay area it's the strong sea breeze which is going to make for a mild august afternoon. 80 at best around san jose, 70s inland. you'll find lower 80s out toward the tri-valley. 60s for san francisco and oakland. 75 degrees around santa rosa and inland, sacramento upper 80s. very mild temperatures for august and the seven-day forecast continues to trend. we'll see the sea breeze turning stronger come thursday with cooling temperatures to wrap up the week. >> we'll take you out to the south bay. we have that issue, the fuel spill and there's the live shot of it. the photographer is showing us all of the activity off of 101, and the reason why 101 closed at -- i should say the off ramp. 101 is moving but all of this cleanup continues after a fuel spill and accident. back to the maps you see where that is in relation to the rest of the south bay. 237 and you can exit around and

get over to city streets. the rest of the south bay not a problem. 880, 680 out of fremont and hayward, there is construction going on till 5:30 around the interchange but that should probably pick up in the next 20 minutes or so. and a live look at 880, for the north, a light volume of traffic, still nothing going on aside from the south bay activity. we'll follow this. things are feeling weird this monday. >> 4:40. a soldier's diary returned to its rightful owner. suiting up for training camp. this 49ers hold-out which would be back on the field. we'll tell you what sealed the deal. a live picture of the hp pavilion.

>> welcome back to you. a live look at the bay bridge. it's 4:43. here is a literal canal diary. a journal written during the second world war was returned to its rightful owner this weekend after almost seven decades. a couple from new zealand delivered the diary to the widow kathy grands on saturday. this book was first discovered on a wharf in wellington, new zealand, 69 years ago. the family who found it kept it on a shelf in their home ever since. it was the journal of delmar grands, her husband, who served in the battle of 1942.

he kept a record of his experiences. he died 18 years ago but his wife kathy is still alive. she says reading the journal brings back many memories of her husband and taught her things she didn't know about him and his experience in the war. >> how does it make you feel? proud? >> it was many years ago, and of course i thought to myself you know, no wonder he was a nervous wreck. >> kathy and her husband met as pen pals and met in person in 1948, married on halloween, had eight children who remain in the bay area. >> more banks are failing. 99 blue men took over the box office. nicole lapin live. good morning. >> hey, very good morning to you, scott. big story of course, the european markets and u.s. futures higher across the board after news that the u.s. debt

deal came out of washington late last night. investors you buoyed by the news. now the plan includes raising the debt ceiling and a two-part deficit reduction plan. the first $900 billion spending cut and then $1.5 trillion established by a special committee to be voted on in december. the plan will be voted on later as today expected to be done by the deadline tomorrow. there are concerns that the liberal democrats may not support the plan as it's missing revenue increases and conservative republicans may reject the plan as there is no balanced budget amendment. so, a little bit of you know this from your trading days, maybe sell the news tomorrow. also, three more u.s. banks failed including the first this year in virginia and indiana. the fdic reported integra, virginia business bank and bank of meridian failed. integra is the third largest to

fail this year. according to the fdic, 61 banks have failed this year. they are tiny, they are blue, and we're not talking about a little box from tiffany's. they are ruling the box office.

ground level. 2,000 feet this morning. right now northwest wind at 7 miles per hour. and we're seeing 50s and 60s right now and chances are for the coast and san francisco we're going to stay in the 60s. it's a healthy sea breeze reaching all the way to the fairfield. good news for air quality. nothing but green which will tell you that we're not going to be heating up that much around the bay area. we had big time thunder across the sierra this weekend. you can see that moisture coming in from the south this morning but later on this afternoon that will start to push off to the east. so things should calm down as the monsoon moisture moves into southern nevada and arizona here over the next couple of days. if you're heading into southern california we have hot temperatures around l.a., 85 downtown los angeles, palm springs living up to standards at 106, 90s around fresno and bakersfield. 67 degrees around monterey. we'll see sunshine toward santa cruz and monterey, 89 in sacramento and about 90 for ukiah. the bay area, temperatures today

near 80 in san jose. these are much below average for this time of year. keep in mind august 1st and we're talking about no 90s on the board at least for most of the bay area. head up to ukiah you'll find 90. 74 degrees around petaluma and the seven-day forecast, we'll keep the ocean air conditioning running throughout the week. mild temperatures as we head into next weekend. >> thanks, rob. tough weekend for the giants. reds scored nine runs, held the giants scoreless. they won 9-0. that's enough for a three-game series sweep. as for the a's, they fared better taking two of three from the twins. six-run third inning and solid defense after that helped the a's beat the twins 7-3. oakland plays in seattle. the nfl lockout over, frank gore's holdout is at an end. our friends at csn bay area

of the food poisoning. the upper deck, construction for another few minutes. in the lower deck out of san francisco that closer to 6:00 for it to be picked up. no slowing because that is a light volume of traffic. here 580, 980, that construction till 5:30. we do have a nice easy clearly marked diversion there but get on at castro if you can. crossing the bay here, san mateo bridge, the taillights quiet, 880 to the peninsula. a steady volume so looks like monday morning is getting busy. a little weird with early reports. >> mike, thank you. when you are trying to quench your need for speed you head for a roller coaster or push the needle past the legal limit on 101. not bob redell, though. here he is zipping up to 9,000 feet in an f-16 over travis air force base. he was in the back seat. those eyes are open. he was not controlling the

tonight. temperatures around the south bay, 70s to low 80s inland. a cool start to august. and it's going to be a cool start to the week ahead you can see, temperatures inland only in the 70s and 80s even into the start of next weekend. >> thank you. 4:56. get your flu shots, groceries and wine tasting in one stop. the grocery store that will pair your wine and give you a shot while you shop and for all of your news, check out facebook.
