transforming this place that was dilapidated for many decades. the site of tomorrow's opening ceremonies. should be pretty incredible. we have about three weeks of amazing competition and all of our local athletes, it has been so enjoyable not just the last couple days but weeks spending time with them and seeing and sharing their experiences that we'll share with you back in the bay area. so that's it for now. our first morning show live shot here from london. i like this. i've been up for hours waiting for you guys to wake up. i'll send it back to you. 4:30 a.m. bay area time. >> we'll have fun having you on the morning show. raj, we'll be back today all morning long. we'll see him again coming up at 5:00. thanks, raj. >> a nice clear shot from london. they have warm temps. christina loren is checking the bay area forecast. >> i'm taking a look at both.

let's start with london. good morning. one day away now. it's going to be cooler in most bay area cities than what they are expecting in london town. 80 degrees today, down to 76 tomorrow and there is a potential for a stray shower during the opening ceremonies. that's what we're watching for. about 30% chance. 67 degrees on saturday. for us today, temperatures mild in the 50s, your full forecast a few moments away. cooler weather today. >> we'll start with london traffic. they drive on the other side of the road. just a note. we're looking here on our normal traffic flow. this is an issue. construction blocks two lanes westbound 580 as you head over to the bay bridge, the toll plaza and upper deck. the traffic so light through the area it's not affecting the flow but there you go, the approach to the bay bridge. live look outside shows you also the golden gate bridge and the golden gate bridge has construction on the approach out of the waldo tunnel. the southbound direction traffic slows a tad bit down to one lane.

crews should be cleared in a few minutes. that might be why we're not seeing anybody, headlights on the top of the screen starting down the southbound direction. they may have cleared now. back to you. >> 4:33. prosecutors have filed new charges against a man accused of molesting girls as a daycare. turns out he got the job after being fired from another child care position. keith woodhouse is accused of molesting three girls. the families are suing woodhouse and the day care and now they added church on the hill in san jose to the list. woodhouse worked as a counselor there in 2007. he was let go after employees allegedly saw him molesting girls in a swimming pool. the incident was never reported. >> had the reports been done, had somebody just spoken up and said something to begin with, it's possible that these girls would not have been allegedly molested. >> the families are upset because a supervisor at the

church later gave woodhouse a positive recommendation to work at the day care. attorneys claim they failed to do adequate background checks. church on the hill and trace have not commented on the new allegations. >> san jose police released a picture of a suspect in a brutal double murder. this is 31-year-old pedro medina. police say he is wanted in the brutal murder of a couple killed in front of their three children. officers say medina has multiple tattoos including a grim reaper on his right lower leg. the shooting happened in the couple's home in the japan town neighborhood. investigators believe he is on the way or has arrived in a los angeles area, and may be trying to flee to mexico. 4:35. a bay area hiker has been found dead near the sequoia national forest. 31-year-old thomas hang seen here left sunday for what was supposed to be a day hike to the

area investigative unit. disturbing pictures from inside the food distributor. bags of herbs, natural foods and spices infested with rodent droppings. >> he is the chief of the california department of public health. >> this is in all corners of the warehouse and in between and throughout so this has gotten to a point where again they have become to live and breed in the warehouse. >> a day after an nbc bay area investigation, first reported deplorable conditions in the plant, the company issued this nationwide recall of 16 products. the release says it's due to the potential contamination of filth. >> by definition of law the products sold in this facility over the last months are adulterated because of the massive rodent infiltration in the facility. >> two weeks ago after learning of an nbc bay area investigation t state posted this notice,

embargo that stopped the distribution of more than 1 million pounds of product in that wareuse. >> until they have successfully and completely eradicated that pest problem we're not going to begin the process to get them back in operation. >> the owners of the company declined our request for interviews and through an attorney issued a no comment comment. the 16 recalled products are primarily sold on line and we're told they are also sold at some local grocery stores and bakeries. right now on nbcbayarea.com you can get a list of all of the recalled products. go to our home page, click on the main story, and it will take you to that location. now, if you have any of the products, the company and the state urging you to destroy them immediately. i'm tony. nbc bay area news. >> let's talk about something more pleasant, the weather in the bay area.
