so far the cause remains under investigation. happening now, up to 60 homes have burned in a wildfire northeast of colorado springs. people in some 2300 homes forced to evacuate. right now that while fire has grown to 12 square miles. now to put that into perspective, that's larger than the town of los gados. the fire's one of four major wildfires fueled by hot, gusty, dry weather in and around colorado's rocky mountains. >> 6:06. out here in california, we had our share of fires. christina loren says another nice day ahead. >> beautiful. denver almost hit triple digits yesterday. it's hot there for us. cooldown, oh, it's going to continue. a beautiful day shaping up. wanted to start with the live picture, beautiful start to the day over san francisco. no low clouds. you can see for five to eight miles from the city. that's a good, good sign. getting a pickup this morning. a nice day.

if you're ready to go, might know a couple of things that could slow you down. >> south bay. first, the live look here, 101 northbound 680. this didn't look bad. the map for the south bay, looking relatively smooth right now. look at that. no big issues as far as slowing for 101 or 87. 285, close to the limit as well. north out of the south bay up toward the peninsula northbound 101 i trouble spot around shoreline and highway 85, a crash north of the shoreline boulevard off-ramp has got a smoking car now. reports of a fire crew on scene. the fire department arrived. at least one, maybe two lanes blocked now. injuries reported, at least that's the initial call. a lot of activity north of the shoreline. 85 interchange, be careful right there. you see you're okay there. north of mountain view toward the palo alto area, that's what you're going to find. also a smoother drive farther north.

the earlier crash southbound 101 is there at marsh 101. it's on the shoulder. reports of injuries to the driver of the pickup involved. some debris reported in the area as well. no slowing toward the dumbarton. around the bay bridge toll plaza, that's the backup you see. sun is in our eyes in the other way. lighting changed. metering lights and big backup now past the west grand avenue overcross. back to you. we're going to go to breaking news right now. attorneys for ariel castro pleading not guilty. castro himself did not say a word in court. video just into our newsroom. he held his head down as that plea was made this morning. he's facing over 300 counts including 2 counts of aggravated murder, kidnapping and rape. prosecutors say castro kidnapped michelle knight, amanda berry and gina dejesus, locked up inside his home for more than a decade. he fathered berry's 6-year-old daughter also.

daylight today. nonetheless, temperatures that are perfect. and then things change. seven day outlook coming up. a great look at 101 through palo alto. phobes away from us heading north but coming into palo alto out of mountain view, a new crash in lanes. fire crews of scene. this is messing up at least that portion of the south bay. the update coming up. here's a look at some of today's top stories. san francisco police investigating a motorcycle crash near san francisco state. motorcycle apparently speeding when it lost control, skidded into a car. we're told pacifica police were chasing the rider of the motorcycle but it's not clear why. berkeley police on the lookout for a man who sexually assaulted a child at the bathroom of a berkeley marina. the search started yesterday afternoon. the suspect, a black man, blond hair, green streaks. a free month man expected to be in court facing charges of

kidnapping. 23-year-old aaron roy climbed into the backseat of a teenage girl's car in a grocery store parking lot ordering her to drive to remote area. that girl was able to escape and run to a neighbor's house for help. this morning, work at 49ers' billion dollar new stadium on hole after the death of a construction worker. bob redell live in the stadium now. construction site in santa clara. he has the latest on the ongoing investigation. good morning. >> reporter: john, good morning. work on hold for another 24 hours. it wouldn't be until tomorrow at the earliesearliest. that work would resume on the $1.3 billion stadium project, new 49ers stadium in santa clara. it will be up to cal osha when to allow workers to return to the site. and when they do, greeted by grief counselors and a briefing to remind them about safety on the job site. the site was shut down, workers sent home yesterday morning after an elevator worker was

killed. donald white, 63-year-old father of four children. a longtime employee of the schindler elevator corporation. he was standing on a ladder inside one of the elevator shafts when the counterweight came done on him. >> it is a family here. you know the effort of getting to the point of where we are now, it's been just a great communal effort on all of the workers to get us this point. there's a lot of concern that we do what's right for don's family. >> reporter: the contractors overseeing the project tell us that prior to yesterday morning, work site had a good safety record. only significant injury among the thousand-plus workers, in over 13 months' time, just a broken foot. for schindler, the company installing the stadium's elevators, the u.s. department of labor fined that company $25,000 after a worker fell down a shaft at a construction site in palo alto. that was back in 2011. reporting live here in santa clara, bob redell, "today in the bay." 6:15.

another boeing 787 having trouble in japan. a dreamliner was supposed to take off this morning but the right side engine would not start. passengers had to take other flights. the problem is not related to the battery issue that grounded 787 planes for months. here in bay area, the airport ramping up its daily dreamliner service to tokyo this month. the airline operates the service five days a week. the flight times will remain the same leaving mineta at 1:05 in the afternoon and arriving at tokyo's airport at 4:10 in the after noon. some of silicon's valley's biggesty. companies asking permission to tell you more about what the government wants to tell about you. >> microsoft and facebook

writing letters to government asking permission to at least explain how many times they have to tell the nation's biggest spy agency what you're doing online. google in its letter says the company has worked hard over 15 years to gain user trust. now there's a business angle to this, too. google and microsoft have been pushing the cloud, the concept that you keep your business records and run your business programs remotely on a server instead of your own office. but if you kept your data in your own office you'd know if the nsa showed up with a fisa warrant. you don't foe if they show up at google. the cloud has become less secure and it's one of the reasons you're seeing corporations expressing more outrage than the average citizen. head of the nsa in the army uniform, briefed some members of congress tuesday. he'll talk before the senate appropriations committee today and then thentire senate thursd.

that man, head of the nsa, spent most of his time on the hill briefing congress and groups about chinese spying. reuters points out, two weeks ago in a speech about foreign spying on the u.s., keith alexander said, quote, the great irony here is we're the only ones not spying on the american people. in march, alexander's boss, director of national intel against, jay clapper, was asked by congress, does the nsa collect data on hundreds of millions of americas to which john clapper said, no. >> time 6:18. christina loren back to tell us about we're getting used to this, nice this week. >> and by june standard in the bay area, it would be so much hotter. we could be dealing with severe fire weather. but that's not the case today. onshore flow persists. what a difference a day makes.

here, yesterday we had two-hour flight delays out of sfo. this morning, beautiful clear start over the golden gate bridge. a bit of patchy fog at the immediate coast. not enough to force flight delays. that's a good seen. it's the first day so far this week without any delays in the city. i want to point out, quite a bit of weather throughout the country. everybody at this point is right on time. that's the good news. we're starting out so mile this morning. it's a beautiful start. 55 degrees. inland cities comfortable. it's cool at the coast. you might have had to throw on an extra blanket. temperatures in the 40s navato. 48 degrees there. 56 to start in concord. whatever fog did develop, it's all going to clear out of here between 8:00 and 10:00 and a lot of sunshine. rebound, area of low pressure that brought us thunderstorms heading out of town. high pressure takes control. this will bring temperatures up to comfortable levels. maybe a bit above comfort when we head through friday. temperatures climb into the upper 80s.

the crash involving a camry with smoke coming out of it. fire crews on the scene. mountain view fire blocking that slow lane. that's the reason, things. cali get slow this type. smoothly for 101 at the limit and 280 both direction. earlier crash at marsh has paperwork going on. san mateo, dumbarton bridges nice lp here's the tri-valley, mile slowing livermore, pleasanton. 84 slowing down in towards 680. that's a typical buildup. bay bridge back up at standard. san mateo bridge. westbound traffic smoothly. below our ticker there's a chp officer there. it's lighter traffic flow. north bay smooth drive southbound through the curve, more company for you. but still at the limit through san rafael, now they're slowing navato around highway 37 and

interchange. >> watch the officers that are watching you but you're watching them as well. >> that's right. >> you're watching me watching them watching you. 6:22. coming up, pull up your pants or pay up. >> talking to me? >> no. saggy pants about to get banned just ahead. [ seagulls cawing ]

child in a bathroom. police fanning out around the adventure playground at berkeley marina where christie smith joins us live this morning. that child is home now, safe. happy to hear that. the suspect is still on the run. >> reporter: that's right. we have seen berkeley police driving around just a couple of minutes ago. they tell us they've been following up on leads overnight. so far, no luck. after a little boy says that in this bathroom right here, a man touched him inappropriately. the man apparently took off after this incident. but with his description, he would certainly stand out. he's described as a black man, blond hair with green-dyed streaks in it. they're not sure if that's a wig or real hair. he was wearing a green shirt, blue jeans and black sneakers. the boy says he went into the bathroom near adventure playground yesterday and the man up toed him, he told his mom.

called police around 1:40 in the afternoon. police got help from east bay regional park and fish and game who sealed off the area, insp t inspecting inner to yors of the car. the special victims unit worked with the boy who is described as under 10 years old. he's with family now. so far, we haven't heard of a sketch from berkeley police but they're expecting to have an update later this morning. christie smith, "today in the bay." new video showing a crash &mat ended a police chase that stretched from pacifica to san francisco. told a motorcycle speeding when it exited interstate 280 crashing into a car on crespi drive and 19th avenue near san francisco state. 19th avenue closed during that investigation. but it's now back open. so far unclear why pacific ka police wanted pull the

motorcyclist over. new, 15 acres torched after an overnight brush fire sheer wilbur in antioch. this took firefighters an hour to get those flames around control. working hard out there. new reports -- no reports of injuries. appears no buildings damaged during the fire. so far, the cause of this one remains under investigation. happening now, up to 60 homes have burned in a wildfire northeast of colorado springs. people in 2300 homes have been forced to evacuate. right now that fire has grown to 12 square miles. now to put that into perspective, that's larger than the entire town of los gad go. the fire's one of four major wildfires fueled by hot, gusty weather in and around colorado's rocky mountains. almost reached triple digits in denver yesterday. >> big ridge of high pressure, the same one that brought our temperatures to 111 on saturday. yeah, that moved to the west.

talking about the mile high city getting that hot. it's takes a lot of energy to do that. for us, we've got a beautiful day shaping up. area of high pressure moves to the east. low pressure from the west. and for us, that means we're going to see a nice westerly flow today. and old glory showing you that right now, a pick up. winds pick up as we head throughout the day. keep that in mind. because we don't have low clouds to start, look how much cool you're running at coastline. nine degrees cooler in half moon bay and santa rosa. you know in your home when you adjust the thermos stat a bit it can make a significant difference. you probably noticed that 45-degree reading santa rosa. thunderstorms. that's ushering in strong onshore flow. we have another ridge of high pressure head our way but not packing as much energy. it's only going to bring temperatures newspaper the upper 80s when it's at its strongest.

as we get into father's day weekend another area of low¥ñr(c pressure comes through. that's going to drop temperatures again. dads and grads weekend, this is what you can expect at the coast 61 saturday. bay side 71. inland 83. and then you'll see a cooler day especially at coast on father's day. so we're talking about 60 degrees at the coast. bay side 70. inland 76. want to make plans inland if you can, that's where the best weather's going to be sunday. today, what a beautiful day. 74 for fremont. 76 in san jose. 65 degrees in san francisco. sun doesn't even set until 8:30. we'll have a gorgeous sunset with mid level clouds onshore. send us weather photos. we'll feature them on our bay area weather page. 88 degrees by friday. saturday into sunday, there's that cooldown. and then we continue that spoiling monday into tuesday. mike's going to get spoiled.
