6:17 am
turkey and saudi arabia. over the weekend u.s. and russian officials reached an agreement to tore syria's chemical weapon program. >> it's 6:17, looking more likely a bay area woman will be the head of the federal reserve. >> that is correct. scott mcgrew, that would be an historic appointment if the president chooses janet yellen. >> it's if. that's looking more likely. the president clearly wanted to appoint former treasury secretary, former harvard president larry summers to the post but summers withdrew his name from nomination over the weekend. summers was incredibly well quauled but many were of prepared to stand him away of his confirm agency. janet yellen the strong choice for many in the liberal wing of the democratic party. her appointment would make
6:18 am
history which is perhaps one of the reasons that president obama has been resisting. the position is not supposed to be political or historic. she is qualified, the vice chairman of the fed already, she is former san francisco fed governor, former professor at the hoft school of business, the dean there weighing in. >> she sympathizes, a terrific thinker, very clear minded. all the judgment i've seen over the many years has been terrific. >> wall street very enthusiastic about the idea of janet yellen as the next fed charm. she is considered a dove, that is she will continue some of the policies that have caused easy money to flow into the markets. the same sort of policies we're seeing. summers was seen as someone who would draw down those more quickly, more worried about
6:19 am
inflation. as far as easy money, janet yellen is wall street's pick. >> sounds like a great candidate. thank you. it's 6:19. christina loren is back and one of those days you want to break out of work and go out and chill out. >> most every day. >> good point. i guess the weather can help. >> seriously now. you got to work, you got to work for the weekend. we have a beautiful weekend shaping up. it's the last weekend of summertime. half summer, half fall. saturday the last full day of summer. sunday we kick off the autumnal equinox. temperatures comfortable. divide the bay area in half. bay bridge, north of it plenty of 50s to start the day. lots of 60s in the south bay. mid-60s in san jose. we stop the clock at 8:00 a.m. at that point low clouds span inland. mostly cloudy start. by noon a mostly sunny finish.
6:20 am
comfortable readings and cooler tomorrow. then the interesting weather arrives as we get into the end of the week and the first weekend of summer. we're talking about the potential for showers and the best chance now looks like in the north bay, i think the best chance is going to be over the course of saturday to sunday. the models are differentiating what they think. what i think and i've been looking at everything is late saturday night into early sunday morning we're going to get maybe a tenth of an inch of rain with showers as far south as san jose. otherwise, a bit of a roller coaster ride. 84 today in livermore, 85 in -- excuse me, 84 degree, trying to get to the breaking news. save you time. sorry. ahead of myself. 85 inland, bay side 77, 68 at the coast, basically livermore and gilroy about the same temperature as we head throughout the day. here is the deal. we're going to drop like a rock tomorrow. and from 79 degrees on tuesday, shooting right back up to 90 degrees by wednesday.
6:21 am
mid 90s for thursday. and then showers move in. we have a slight chance friday t best chance saturday into sunday. >> we'll take heert because we have the backup at the bay bridge. all of your lanes are backed up past west grand avenue. normally that's the worst we were at but look at the maps. the east coast, that moves the volume is starting to build. it's approaching the caldecott tunnel. highway 24 is jammed because one of your westbound have two tunnels open. only one is open right now because the middle tunnel has no power. they had to shut it down for safety. this caused a backup all the way over through orinda to the caldecott tunnel. you saw the backup at the toll plaza. it's huge. southbound 880 also a big backup in through union city, the dumbarton bridge more clouded.
6:22 am
over toward thornton. chp says industrial the sigalert and don't know when they will open the lanes. it's slow down to mallory. stevenson, you're okay into the south bay. some might be bailing instead of heading to the dumbarton bridge head to the san mateo bridge which is moving and not a big deal. that's a pressure for 92. if you have to said south 880 into the mess. looking at the south bay, smooth flow into the south bay. traffic flows nicely. north 88 and 101 showing a little bit of slowdown. so that's a nice gentle start. back to you. >> 6:22. coming up we'll update you on breaking news in washington, d.c. an active shooter reported in the navy yard out there. it's at the navy seal system's command headquarters about 3 thou people work in that building. so far one confirmed injury and
