good morning, everybody. it's 4:30, i'm jon kelley. >> and i'm marla tellez in for laura garcia-cannon. breaking news in the south bay. two fires at a san jose high school in just the past few hours. "today in the bay's" bob redell is live at the scene with more on what's happening. bob, good morning. >> good morning to you marla and jon. here at evergreen valley high school here in south san jose where the san jose fire department is still on scene. the fires are out, but they are treating these as suspicious. one, these happened overnight, two, they happened in two different locations about 50 feet from each other. you've got this one fire that's in the dumpster, that's scorched pretty badly and back and to the right there was a fire set up

against the building where the library is located. not clear what burned there, a pile of something. the first fire clearly was isolated by itself, but the second fire is the fire that is drawing concern because it could have easily set the building on fire if it weren't for a smoke alarm. the smoke alarm went off. the alarm company notified the fire department. this is around 2:30, 2:40 this morning, that's how they knew to come out here. the damage to the outside of the library building is superficial, but the flames did spread from the bottom up to the top and towards the roof. but the fire department was able to get here in time to put this fire out. again, they are treating this as a suspicious fire. they will have an arson investigator out here. if not already, certainly by sun up to figure out who would try to set these fires. and no one was hurt, they don't have any suspects, of course, as of yet. and as far as school is concerned, school is out for summer, this will not be affecting the operation of

school later today. reporting live here at evergreen valley high school, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks so much. and in case you didn't notice, yes, indeed, it is friday. feel good friday out here. let's check in to find out how nice it's going to be outside. >> feels pretty nice out there right now. good morning to you guys. gilroy yesterday, hey, 99 degrees, that doesn't feel very good does it? as we head throughout this afternoon, it's going to be even warmer in some cities. we're going to get a little bit of coastal cooling, but just about as warm everywhere as it was yesterday. so this morning, we've got the 60s to start, 62, you can go straight to the tank top in livermore, 69 in san jose. the full forecast is on the way. we actually have showers in that seven-day. stay tuned for that. let's check your drive with mike. >> right to the water since it's so warm. we're talking about the bridge. highway 37. chp just clearing it. we have the flashing lights for

>> we're happy to have you here. >> safe in california, you know what i mean? really good-looking weather for today in california. we're going to see some changes. i wanted to point out how hot it was yesterday. 99 degrees in gilroy. so this is the hottest weather we've had so far this year. today, if you live inland, it really depends how far inland you live. gilroy and fairfield will likely be warmer. we'll see another warm day. starting out nice and mild. this is going to contribute to another record-breaking day. yesterday we had plenty of 40s and low 50s on the map. not the case today, talking about the 50s and upper 60s. 52 degrees to start in livermore. and i had to do something that i haven't done in quite some time. i put 100-degree readings on your forecast for today. and that looks unsightly for this early in the season. west/southwest wind at 13 miles per hour, staying hot friday as the winds continue to pump, at least for the first part of the day. the offshore flow is what warms us up. and as it continues today for

the first part of the day, starting out so mild, i think we will easily hit -- look at this, 100 degrees in gilroy, in fairfield. doesn't look right. 72 in san francisco and 90 degrees today right here in san jose. so if you want to stay cool, you can catch those giants right here in the comfort of your air-conditioning tonight at 7:00. taking on the cubs, we'll have that forecast coming up. saturday, sunday, we start to cool off more fog in the morning hours and that's going to contribute to some really perfect conditions inland. you really are going to get nice weather this weekend. and monday, we get showers, not just up in the north bay, looks like the entire bay area is going to get wet. and that's good news because we need better air quality. and that will contribute to clean spring air. back to you guys. >> thank you very much, christina. south bay parents taking an interest in what goes on at school beyond the classroom. the middle school hosting an event teaching parents how to talk to their children about drugs and figure out if they're using drugs. handed out drug tests for
