"today in the bay's" bob redell has more details on this story. >> reporter: good morning, jon. the city of san francisco and the police department has not identified a direct terrorist threat to the city, but it's still putting its police force on heightened alert. the department released this statement that reads in part, quote, we want to be proactive given the state department it's warnings in order to protect our citizens and infrastructure in san francisco, unquote. what heightened alert means paying closer attention to certain areas of the city and trying to determine whether or not those areas need extra officers deployed. police are reiterating there is no known direct threat to the city. it was on friday that the federal government temporarily closed 19 u.s. embassies and consulates in north africa and

the middle east. just this morning they announced they would extend those closures until at least the end of this week. this is in response to intelligence indicating al qaeda is planning an attack between now and the end of this month. if you are traveling overseas, not just to the middle east or north africa but anywhere overseas, you might want to register your travel plans with the state department. there is a link on their website. reporting live outside san francisco police headquarters, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> it's 5:43. you may notice it's a little cooler as you step out the door this morning. >> it is nice out there this morning, a touch cooler. temperatures right now are super dupeer crisp. temperatures at 5:43 a.m., in the 50s and 60s. let's get right to it. as we head through the day, the numbers will slowly climb. we have an absolutely beautiful day shaping up with wind out of the southwest, more or less, later today. that's going to be the case, cool ocean air moving inland.
