farther up let me show you on the maps, this area, the maze and that construction coming through berkeley out of richmond. it's eastbound 80 at carlson boulevard, the on and off ramps are closed because of an overturned sounds like a tanker, not necessarily a fuel tanker. some sort of liquid leak. the on and off ramps are closed. we're not sure when they will reopen. there is a fuel leak. the freeway is open. we're tracking this for the morning commute. >> we'll check back with you. san francisco firefighters say initial reports indicate fireworks are to blame for a brush fire on yerba buena island. it was reported last night in a very remote area on the western side of the island south of the bay bridge. a large plume of smoke and flames could be seen by drivers. it shut down eastbound lanes on the lower deck causing major

he was being evicted is going to make a court appearance. he face three counts of attempted murder. he shot at the property manage are and two deputy when's they attempted to evict him from his home. he surrendered. officials say the home is in foreclosure. >> pg&e officials are in the process of shutting down a natural gas pipe line that officials believe could be unsafe. that pipeline known as line 147, runs along britain avenue between 101 and 280. the worry is it could fail and explode like the line in san bruno back in 2010, killing eight people. leaders requested the shutdown citing an eternal e-mail raising questions about safety. the e-mail asked, quote, are we sitting on another san bruno? a pg&e spokesperson says the line is being shut down as a

precaution. >> verified independent third party came tine verify the integrity of the line and even in 2011 did a strength test to make sure that the integrity of the line was validated. that's where we're at today. we commend the employee that raised the question. >> customers will get their natural gas from other lines. >> talking about how warm it was this weekend. >> i know, feels like summer is hanging on. we are in october. >> good morning to you. the time now 4:36. it was warm yesterday. that means you're going to notice the difference as temperatures tumble throughout this afternoon so. this is what we're expecting. we're counting on a pretty good chance for showers across the bay area the next couple days especially wednesday into thursday. this morning we have upper 40s to low 50s across the bay area. so here's what we're talking about. a little westerly wind that's

going to make it feel cooler. the onshore flow is back that's going to change our forecast pattern. so plenty of upper 40s, low 50s into this afternoon we're going to see more 70s. not expecting 80s as the temperatures tumble, into tuesday increasing clouds, even cooler by 2-5 additional degrees. everybody has a fair shot a 20% to 30% now but we'll let you know if that gets better. highs look good, 82 concord, 77 fremont, 78 in redwood city. let's check your drive. >> good morning. we're looking at the bright lights, this is the traffic on san mateo bridge. nothing big, look at the sensors. we don't have a lot of problems. we're looking at a smooth drive across 92 at the top. the dumbarton bridge, both of

those westbound commutes will pick up. that's the peninsula, a smooth flow, even 880 through the east bay not a big deal. we're following this, the on and off ramps for east 80 are closed. i got an update, the westbound off ramp was also closed. that's the commute commute direction. that will be an issue if it lasts more than an hour, hour and a half. let's take care of that as the morning progresses. note the carlton off ramp is closed westbound 80 as well. use central. a live look for the south bay as well. here is 101 fwhb headlights at 680 not a big concern. looking light but we'll lay it out coming up. >> thank you. now to the government shutdown entering the seventh day. almost half of those furloughed are headed back to work even though the shutdown is on. the pentagon ordered 300,000 employees back to work and
