month at the united nations in the london olympics. >> when i told the kids about this, they screamed such a high pitch scream that we all had to hold our ears. >> very cool. the group sings in 21 different languages. >> that's mind-blowing. >> there are no auditions and no one is turned away. is there an age limit? >> we'd have a shoot, wouldn't we? >> we'd be in the back row. >> just lip syncing. >> you can always check out the olympics coverage on air and online. head nbcbayarea.com and subscribe to the torch. we'll have all the latest and greatest right here on today in the bay. >> i feel the fever. it's coming. singing in the sunshine out there, christina. >> that's right. we're not singing in the rain for the next 15 days. good morning to you. all those up olympic athletes just getting the royal treatment

in the weather department as we head through this afternoon. tomorrow, even this weekend hoing on to really comfortable conditions. 5:48 now. taking a live look, here's san jose, crystal clear already. hard to find a cloud in the sky over the bridges that could be socked in with fog. we have no june gloom to point out. we really didn't have much all month long. taking a live look now over san jose, and you can see that mountain range very, very vividly there. 54 degrees in system, 52 in san mat mateo. this afternoon your temperatures are noticeably warmer as high pressure builds in. this is a big, strong ridge of high pressure. it will bring the temperatures up quickly by 5 to 8 degrees from yesterday's highs. warm enough in some cities where you kick on the air conditioner. of course, the extreme east bay and south bay is where we expect the warmest conditions. by thursday temperatures level off a touch. today's highs work out like this.

81 degrees los gatos and 86 in concord. as we head through thursday, 82, not too shabby, and then by friday we hit the low 80s. saturday and sunday we get the best weather in the extended period. mother nature is timing things out nicely for us i will say. 79 degrees as we head through sunday, and then the warm-up kicks into high gear monday into tuesday of next week. we'll let you know how hot and which cities could break records towards the end of next week. we have a heatwave on the way so enjoy cooler than average temperatures. here's mike and your drive. >> this is an update. the south bay is looking good as you might expect. we have the earlier accident on the shoulder northbound 101 around oakland road, and also as you come northbound on 87, we have some slowing that we've seen around capitol, and it continues to be in the 50s just as you approach there. that might be what's going on. a little slowdown off 85. no big drama for this portion of your commute.

we look over here to 582 westbound. we start to see the slowing into livermore and through livermore as well. pretty typical for the commute direction, but eastbound there's construction going on as you pass over towards north flynn. keep that in mind. further over to the west we had an earlier car fire at eden canyon road. that's moving slowly now past the earlier scene with no more activity on the freeway. a smooth drive coming up in and through oakland, but just off of 880 we continue to follow this. this is the truck fire at the bottom of the market street off ramp. the off ramp re-opened, but the fire is out. there's a burned-out cab attached to a trailer there now. the big rig tow could be another half hour before it gets there. you might want to use broadway to get around the whole thing. just a precaution, but we'll let you know if they have to close the off ramp for any other period of time. if any do after 6:00, that could get ugly. a live look across the bay. we look at the goemden gate

bridge. a nice, easy drive through the north bay. no clouds in the sky in this shot and a huge flow in traffic southbound. we will send it back to you. >> mike, thank you very much. if you love whale watching and who doesn't, this is a great site to see. blue whales feeding a little closer to the golden gate bridge than usual, but while it's gorgeous to see, actually putting the whales in danger. they're near a protected marine sanctuary. this is the hazards out there. big ships. a rare fin whale washed up dead just last week. that's sad. experts say a ship strike actually killed it. some groups fighting for a slower speed limit for shipping in the sanctuary. they're floating out other ideas. last week scientists documented where whales actually congregate, information they will pass on to ship captains. >> looking at dynamic management areas, so if there's a large

congregation of whales in one area, we can notify the shipping companies and they can avoid that area and enter theorts from a different direction. >> they're also asking the international maritime association to consider changing the shipping lanes right into the bay hoping to reduce the chances of whale and ship contact. something you probably would never see at a zoo is leaving visitors in shock. it's disturbing. visitors watched in horror as a 3-month-old chimp is brutally killed by an adult male chimpanzee. this is recent video of sweet little gracy. it happened yesterday at the los angeles zoo. witnesses say the male chimp grabbed that infant and began beating her. zoo officials say they couldn't stop that attack due to worker safety concerns. it's really an upsetting story. >> i can't imagine the kids there seeing that take place. so sad. it is 5:52 right now. coming up, student i.d. numbers, passwords and user names posted

or internet for everybody to see. how a hacker got past security on a south bay university website. nice for your car.ways do g chevron with techron. care for your car.

the northbound segment near market street. christie smith has arrived on scene. what's the latest? >> reporter: good morning. jon. the situation has improved in terms of the traffic, and that's because the two lanes of the off ramp here are back open. you can see traffic is moving again. this is the off ramp at market street from northbound 880. the situation has improved here. this was completely shut down when firefighters arrived because they had to put out the fire in the big rig cab. if we can go over here, i want to show you a situation hasn't improved for the driver although all. you can see the cab up there

completely burned out this morning. i spoke briefly with the driver. he said that he heard a noise, a boom sound from the engine area as he was driving on northbound 880. he decided to pull over, see what was going on. then he saw smoke, and he says that then it caught fire. everyone got out okay. he says that he just doesn't know what happened here. he didn't know what he was carrying, but he was bringing it from long beach to the port of oakland. i believe it's going to a walmart store. at this point i hear it will be another 20 to 30 minutes before they can get a tow truck out her and clear it completely, but the good news, no fuel has leaked at all. reporting live in oakland, christie smith, "today in the bay." 5 a. 56. san jose state is trying to track down a hacker that leaked thousands of user names and passwords. they confirm a security breach. now more than 22,000 student

contact information may have been exposed. the hacker talked about the breach on twitter and dumped sensitive information like passwords and user names onto the site online. what first appeared as social security numbers were actually student i.d. numbers. a security firm is advising students to be on the lookout for bogus san jose state e-mails asking you for personal information. it's 5:57 right now. tumbling and twirling and flipping. we're talking about a shot at the gold. we're live to see which gymnast will earn a trip over to london.

a big rig catches fire on a freeway off ramp. i'll tell you how traffic is impacted right now coming up. that will affect the flow
