events. >> realized i think this is a c. >> no, it's 1 over -- >> you think there is a human speed limit? >> yeah, but i think it's -- >> chase better than 9.48. >> i take it personally. you put a limit on it like that's a target. >> people don't like to hear that. people assume that things are always can get better, faster. at some point they can't. >> the professor said look at horton. they haven't gotten faster. dogs since the 1970s. women since the 1980s. >> you expect men to plateau in the next 10 to 20 years. >> i would love to have usain bolt or anybody do better than that. just so we know the human body can do something unpredictable. >> bob redell, "today in the bay." >> pretty cool way to look at it.

usain bolt. sbob a classic. what's happening, young lady? >> a good looking morning for a jog or a run. good morning to you. it's always easier to watch it on tv here on nbc. proud home of the summer games. and we're going to get that action started at 9:00. starting with this live look here, beautiful conditions over san jose. it's clear and crisp out there. great time for walking that dog as the sun comes up. let's get right to it. temperatures are comfortable. 54 in confran. and 54 degrees to start you out in novato and san francisco, 61 in sunnyvale. that's comfortable if you want to do outdoor activities it will get on the hot side later on. but you probably don't need your ac in the south bay with 82 degrees is the forecasted high. high pressure still in control. the jet stream has taken a drop to the south and for us what that means is we're going to see cooler conditions, courtesy of a

stronger on shore flow. we'll see coastal low clouds and as a result the westerly wind will carry in the cool ocean breeze. a nice evening, great evening to make outdoor barbecue plans. a gorgeous sunset. 68 in san francisco, 80 in redwood city, and in san jose, 82 degrees, not too shabby. 89 degrees in livermore. average is 88. then we fall below as we head to saturday, sunday, the low to mid 80s return and the upper 80s, a little hotter through next week but not too bad. no extremes, no record-breaking heat. just the low 90s as we head into the middle of next week. here's mike. >> looking at saturday and sunday that looks great for fremont. we'll be at the festival. a lot of folks here westbound, the commute slowing into the 50s out of the altamont pass.

>> welcome back. it's 5:25 on the nose. looks like the oracle racing team is not going to have a lot of competition defending the america's cup trophy next summer. four challengers meeting the deadline to enter the yacht race in san francisco next year. as many as 14 sailing teams had expressed interest but apparently the sluggish world economy is partly to blame for the low turnout. organizers insisting that san francisco can expect a big time economic boost of about $1 billion and 8,000 new jobs. >> a piece of military history that's been a long time secret on treasure island. bay ship and yacht recently bought the hughes mining barge from the navy. it's a submersible barge. while it's getting a lot of attention the fascinating part

distraction for some. speeds just above 55. oakland, no dip in the speeds despite construction fruitvale up to fifth. watch for traffic breaks. i'll warn you if they tell me about them. back to you. >> 5:27. still ahead i guess we can call her golden gabby. that's america's sweetheart. the new one crowned an olympic champion. >> she is excited about it. how can you not be. it's been a great set of london games. a live look at the caldron burning at the olympic stadium.

morning and cycling hats grown more popular b.a.r.t. is easing restrictions. this is a first. >> you see a lot of potential and that's part of the reason we're doing the pilot to see if it works if we can accommodate bikes and two, do we see more passengers and more folks with their bikes. >> reporter: now, one thing to note is that b.a.r.t. is not adding more trains during this whole thing they are putting on so it may be quite crowded depending how it goes. they expect to curveball the number of naem bring bikes on the train. there are four in the east bay. you can leave your bikes there. again this is every friday in august and if you want to weigh in on it you can go to b.a.r.t.gov. >> just in the july jobs report has been released to business

and tech reporter scott mcgrew has the numbers and doing what he is great at he explains what they mean. >> earlier i had said that don't break out the party hats and the horns. maybe one tiny little toot of a horn. 163,000 jobs were added in the month of july, that is far more than expected. and that is slightly good news. like i said, one little toot of the horn. the unemployment rate rose to 8.3%. as i have said this is a number you can ignore. a tenth of a percent one way or the other doesn't make that much of a difference. the unemployment rate is actually a phone survey, somebody uses the phone to say are you employed, are you looking for a job. it's statistically fairly good but not a number you need to worry too much about compared to the 163,000 jobs gained which is the biggest gain since last

february. politicians of course will pounce on this latest jobs report. coming up we'll have a live report from washington with a look at what today's numbers will mean for president obama, his challenger governor romney as well on the campaign trail. >> a little toot of the horn better than a wa-wa. give us something to cheer about. >> and the fog horn sounds more wa-wa. it's out there this morning. you'll hear that on the coastline. a lot of fog out there. and throughout bay area as well, san francisco bay filled with clouds. by about 9:00 the marine layer will push out to sea. beautiful, beautiful sun rise shaping up. we continue that futurecast, stop it at noon today, mostly clear all the way across the greater bay area. even some breakup of that marine

layer so we're going to see a nice day. carrying in the cool ocean breeze. and whaels we get to benefit from when it comes to the onshore flow. good air quality across the board. open up the windows, breathe it in today. you might not need to run your ac if you can bear 89 degrees. 79, that's what we expect in places like oakland, 68 degrees at the coast and temperatures are going to drop off even more into the weekend so i'll take you through that forecast, stay tuned for that. if you've got to get out the door mike is here to help. >> construction crews should start clearing. this is between 37 and at is son avenue. we do see slowing north thereof so that might abdistraction. the orange on my map, this mean there is is fog in the area. highway 1 on the left and 101

through petaluma. may be a bit of an issue but no surprises here. we'll see how things are coming up. i wanted to explain the flashing lights. the crew is moving the cones. just some phones, moving it for the kmorning commute for the morning drive in to the city. live look outside shows you a smooth drive for fremont 880 southbound with all of these headlights past the struck scales and no problems between the dumb parten and the san mateo bridge. we'll look to the san mateo bridge. south i meant west. westbound 92. no delays along the peninsula. >> the internal compass is working. buster floyd mayweather now a free man after serving two months of a three-month

president later today on these numbers which can best be described as many somewhat lackluster. at least it wasn't like last m. expected 100,000 new jobs, up around 80,000. so today doing about half again as good as expected. certainly something the president will be trumpeting but this is going to be a long log, the president will say that, mitt romney will say that later today. again, the u.s. economy moving forward but at a creep. back to you. >> thank you, brian. >> back to the summer olympic games and we take you across the pond. we can take you there. a live look at that torch. but right now it's going to be a big night for a bay area olympic swimmer. >> anthony ervin will swim in the 50 meter freestyle. back to raj mathai live in london. really one of a kind in and out of the water. >> reporter: i love this story. i think it's one of the best

stories of all of team usa. you talked about anthony ervin. you might remember in the 2000 sydney olympics 12 years ago he won a gold. he took that gold medal and sold it on ebay with the proceeds he donated the money to charity. that's the kind of guy he is. anthony ervin, in oakland everybody calls him coach tony. he coaches a lot of inner city kids. he is a phenomenal guy in terms what if he does, tonight looking for a gold medal. he says he is a minimalist, doesn't have many belongings, doesn't even have an apartment or house yet. he likes his guitar and he likes the swimming pool. anthony ervin, coach tony, tonight in the water in the 50 freestyle. here is someone not a minimalist, michael phelps. he's got 20 medals and will be in the pool again looking for medal 21 in the 100 butterfly. last night he won the gold in the 200 individual medley.

so michael phelps continues to roll along. how about gabby douglas, 16, capturing the imagination and hearts of a lot of people. not just back in the u.s. but here also in london. gabby wins the gold medal in the all around competition in the individuals for gymnastics. at 14 she heft her family and friends in virginia, moved to iowa for a better training facility and it paid off. she's grown up before our eyes by winning the gold. >> i definitely knew that i would be the one or two, and it was exciting. it was an exciting moment. >> reporter: she is so sweet. by the way, we mentioned earlier. gabby douglas, the last name, if you rearrange the letters it spells usa gold. it has to be meant to be it we tried to rearrange the letters

for garcia-cannon. >> we'll play words with friends later. >> raj mathai, the cerebral reporting. how do you figure these out blows my mind but we love it. >> reporter: all right, guys. >> it's been fun out there. the energy of sweet gabby douglas, how can you not springboard off of that. gabby. >> thanks, raj. you know, to check out all of raj's updates all day, he's also on twitter as well, follow him @raj mathai. he's getting a chance to meet those great olympians. >> loving every minute of it bringing it to us. right now we're going to bring you weather. christina loren is here. >> let's bring you into your weekend with gorgeous conditions. good morning to you. as you get up, have that coffee, i want to show you what the sky over sunol look likes. mostly cloudy conditions there.

weekend long inland we had to deal with 90s, upper 90s yesterday. take a look at the difference. 79 in los gatos and temperatures tumble as we head through tomorrow. down to 82 degrees, then we level out a bit sunday into tuesday. no extremes, no records. maybe some thunderstorms. we'll tell you where coming up. next week looks like friday and saturday could be active. here is mike. >> thunderstorms, going to get excited now. looking to the south bay nothing exciting, great news for morning commute. north of 680 with the sensors showing slowing. the volume of traffic starting to bump up. look at all of these folks and the metering lights, there they go, showing slowing getting off on the surface streets. a live look out through fremont,
