note, the winds. whether they can take that smoke. >> yeah, you can see that smoke, typically, it's slow moving but we do have strong winds in the area and winds will continue to increase throughout the day. what i can tell you they're not dry downsloping winds from land to sea. it's the opposite, we're getting that cool moist air on shore. we'll stay on top of that. right now, we'll take a look at our buoys locaé9÷ offshore. they're clocking the highest wind gusts. 38 to 40 miles per hour. and those are the strong gusts. 10 to 15 and 21 miles per hour in san francisco so it's kind of a blustery day even or the wind, the storm system moving closer and closer throughout the bay area. that creates instability. we stop the clock on the your

let's make sure we find out what happened here. he's ordered a top-down review of all the prevention officers. those people in charge of helping sexual assault victims across the military, not just in the army and air force, they want to make sure there's no systemic problem here, laura. >> exactly. thank you, tracie, for that live report from washington. 6:32, jury selection set to begin in the retrail of an elderly psychiatrist accused molesting young boys. dr. william ayers is charged with molesting seven boys during psychiatric exams in the 1990s. the first arrest in 1990, that one ended with a hung jury. the aging doctor is in a napa state hospital being treated for dementia but ruled competent to stand trial last year. several employees of the san jose unified school district are facing embezzlement charges and expected to turn themselves in.

morning. that is because the winds are san mateo recording to redwood city, winds out of the west at 9 miles an hour. one thing that did help starting to push that moist ocean air into places like redwood city. also we're seeing winds straight out of the west. that means winds were not variable at the time they tried to fight the fire so that played a factor. this morning, temps are cool. grab that coat if you're getting the little ones ready for school. you want to dress them for cool temperatures. inland will hit about 70 degrees. we'll round out the day just at 75 degrees. 72 bay side at the coast. 64 degrees, the winds are going to increase throughout the day as the storm system moves closer and closer to the california coastline. that's going to bring showers tomorrow. we're timing that out in the next report at 6:34. mike is busy on a wednesday morning. what are you tracking now, mike?

vacation home on mother's day. christie smith has just arrived there. >> reporter: we just made it to the command post near clear lake. so far three canine units here and more people arriving by the minute. they're searching a ten-square mile area. a surveillance camera captured the image of the 9-year-old. and then it changed the attention of where they were looking. they're going away from waterways which is where they were going before. police are going from the known direction of where she was down the street from the vacation home where she wandered away. in the tape she has no clothes on, police say due to the medication she was on, they sometimes takes her clothes off when she gets warm.

mikaela has autism and doesn't speak so the rescuers really have to find mikaela without her help. neighbors are asked to check properties, cars and crawl spaces to see if she might be there. that's the story from here. corting, christie smith. a 12-year-old boy will be in court to face a second degree murder charge in the death of his 8-year-old sister. leila fowler was stabbed several times in her family's home in calaveras county. the 12-year-old initially blamed an intruder. $2.8 million to a former student who claim she is was molested by a teacher in the 1990s.÷ú

the sun breaking through. we're going to see increasing clouds throughout the day. as the storm system moves onshore. it's going to be bringing showers. going to be tracking as we head throughout the morning. 51 in sunnyvale and 52 degrees. it's chilly in san mateo. there's also a windchill factor. mostly in the vicinity of 5 to 20 miles per hour sustained gusting to 35 to 45 miles per hour from time to time. overall, winds will be a factor. as the storm system moves on shore. futurecast, that is the case. you can see we're talking about peak wind gusts. strongest near the coast. bad day for mariners on the bay. showers we're expecting a tenth of an inch to a quarter inch. but what will really be a factor

are the condition as it deteriorate. areas of drizzle, thick fog. the usual when a storm system blows in here. 6:00, the bulk of the moisture. that 9:00 a.m., the system sags to the south. then in the second half of the day into the evening hours. showers break up. a pretty good looking night for you. by friday morning. a few low clouds. conditions will be nice and mild because of that cloud cover. the highs are going to be cool for the next couple days. 71 in fremont. 72 in san jose. 76 degrees in gilroy. there's that shower activity. friday into saturday, sweater weather. saturday into sunday, mike in norway, he's covered quite a bit for you. >> the toll plaza looked right. i was so proud. the only reason why the bay bridge is light. now that crash just cleared seconds ago as i was watching waiting to come on here. this is west 480.

the toll plaza. as it could, we're seeing a burst of traffic and a lot more coming through this area than just a few minutes ago which christina showed you. the bay bridge metering lights were turned on early this morning. this backup will quickly fill the parking lot and this will be the issue. an earlier injury crash which has now just seconds ago cleared. approaching that interchange, that ripple coming back over here as the commuter approaches towards the maze. that is the flow of traffic and the flow back here. expect a slowdown on the east shoreway. the peninsula looking pretty smooth as far as your flow for 101 and 280. the issue is on the tracks here. san bruno, still single-tracking caltrain lines. because of a deadly crash. the investigation continues. all the people on that caltrain has been transferred over. they only have one track open so major delays through the area.

now b.a.r.t. is your link between millbrae and san francisco. through both directions, the millbrae station, b.a.r.t. is honoring the passes. sam trans is also offering that to be offered. 101 northbound, let me show you a quick view of that san jose shot. where we had the northbound traffic slowing quite a bit, things have cleared because of the flow because of the earlier crash cleared from the area. on the map again, we'll show you the drive from 101, had a chance to build from capitol expressway. 287 kicking in. will continue to build for the next half hour through this stretch of 880 and cupertino. we're seeing slowdowns. all the way into fremont. speed in the 50s. that crash has not cleared.

back to you. >> mike, thanks a lot. we want to get new details in that breaking news we've been following all morning long. "today in the bay's" bob redell is live in the scene there. what are the firefighters telling you? >> reporter: it's a six-unit apartment building across from fair oaks elementary. the fire started a little bit after 5:00 this morning. i know we have video from earlier. and not seeing the flames, but still lots of smoke. one reason why it's still burning, the reason the firefighters have not been able to put it out, they have taken a defensive posture. they just do what they can from the perimeter. right now, there's a ladder truck that is dumping a lot of water on this building. trying to get the fire out. but they don't have the advantage of being inside or cut a hole up in inside. it's going to take a lot longer to put this out. the pop line there are two

people have been hurt. minor injuries. minor injuries one in the arm and the other one -- as far as the fire department had too call for backup two times. so it's now a third alarm fire. this building is still burning here. and on the street, there are a lot of people that are out here with their pajamas on and blankets wrapped around them. it's hard to tell how many are from the actual building that caught fire and how many from the surrounding building. this has been contained to o building. as far as north fair oaks elementary is concerned this is across the street and this is not affecting that. this is nothing that's causing damage. the fire department was not under the impression that this was a set class here. for the school district, it does not seem like it will be having an impact on the class here at fair oaks elementary.

again, a third-alarm fire burning in a six-unit apartment building in redwood city. two minor injuries, only firefighters hurt in fighting the fire. they're taking a defensive posture waiting for this to burn out. they do not know the cause. on the back side and ended up on the second floor. as far as the cause, that is still to be determined reporting live redwood city, bob redell. >> bob, before you go, how tough was it to get to that fire? we know that fair oaks elementary is running as normal. but how tough is it for parents to get to the school? are the streets closed, do you know? >> reporter: one street is shut down. that's the street where the fire is -- i'm trying to see if this is the street that parents would use to drop their kids off. i'm not sure if there's another entrance to the school. so there is the one street, the

street i'm on here, fair oaks has got some congestion. and then the street that i am on, which is oak side, this is the street that is shut down. so if you have a child that goes to school here, keep in mind, oak side is shut down and actually part of fair oaks is, too. so you're probably going to have to park a short distance away and walk the kids up to their class. >> all right. thank you very much. bob redell live from the scene there. we'll continue to watch that as they're going to have to mop up as well. a san jose family is grieving this morning and a neighborhood said to be outraged after a young girl was hit and killed while crossing the street. her aunt and little sister are in the hospital this morning.
