going up. the new city being impacted by the opening of levi stadium. and this should be the last day, but we are going to stay humid this afternoon. you'll see clouds increase. i have your weekend changes coming in just moments. been tracking a deadly crash in san jose, new crash in santa clara for highway 101. both of those incidents coming up. let's take a peek outside from the south bay this morning. sun coming up over san jose. it's wednesday, july 9th. this is "today in the bay." good morning. i'm scott mcgrew. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> there's a new crackdown on water wasters. those caught would have to pay a hefty fine. apparently not enough people are conserving water? >> no, they are not. welcome back. voluntary restrictions are not

working. that's why the state wants to do something that local agencies have not done up to this point which is to make those water restrictions mandatory. the state water board recognizes that at this point most of us have done what we can inside the home, that is to switch out to low flow shower heads and low flow toilets. the focus is on how you use water outside the house. that's where city dwellers use more than half the water. the board is considering fines of up to $500 a day for people who overwaterfront lawns, all of that water that drips down the sidewalk. folks who wash their cars with hoses that don't have an automatic shutoff nozzle or folks who have a water fountain or water feature in their yard that doesn't recirculate. a spokesperson for the water board says don't count on a free pass for yourself or for your neighbors. >> this situation is severe, so they may be a little more inclined to give you a ticket or fine after your first warning.

but, it's kind of a touchy subject. >> she says it's a touchy subject because they're hoping that folks will talk to their neighbors and kind of police each other, not necessarily turning people in, but saying, hey, mr. smith, your sprinkler is broken, it's running down the street. the state proposal forces urban water districts also to set in motion water shortage contingency plans and the agency that does not have one already will be required to create one within 30 days. now, if the state water board adopts these new regulations at their next meeting on july 15th, the regulations would go into effect immediately and they would remain in effect for nine months. reporting live in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." the bay area golf instructor accused of molesting some of his students and then hiring a hitman to kill his alleged victims will be in court today.

andrew neisbit has pled not guilty to all of the charges. he will attend a pretrial hearing this morning. nis nisbit was arrested last december. while in jail, he met with an undercover officer and tried to hire him to kill two of his alleged victims. we're still waiting for a verdict in the bryan stow civil trial against the jury sent a question to the judge yesterday. they were sent home without reaching a verdict. they have been deliberating since last week. stow is looking for millions in damages saying there was not enough security in the stadium when he was brutally beaten in the parking lot three years ago. a livermore teen could lose his hand after a fireworks

blast. the 15-year-old was on vacation when he found an explosive on corcoran beach. official says it looked like a gold shape egged made of cardboard with a fuse. when the teen lit it, it launched shrapnel into his stomach. deputies combed the beach but didn't find similar devices. a very expensive bentley convertible stolen off the streets of palo alto has been found in southern california. the blue bentley looks similar to this one. it was found in pasadena last week undamaged. it made news because the owner had parked it on the street in may but didn't notice it was missing until the end of june. police say they made no arrests and the investigation is ongoing. a known prostitute will face a judge in santa cruz this morning accused of murdering a silicon valley executive on his yacht. "today in the bay's" bob redell

she literally stepped over the victim's body a couple of times, one time to retrieve a glass of wine and finish the contents of the glass of wine while she's cleaning up her property, cleaning up evidence of the crime there. >> in a post to her facebook account last month, tichelman expressed excitement about mass murderers writing it's really nice to talk to someone about killing sprees and murdering people in cold blood, they love it, too. no judgment, yay. police knew in november that hayes death was suspicious but took time to identify tichelman as the suspect. they placed her under surveillance and became concerned she may become a flight risk. this past friday they lured her from folsom to santa cruz and arrested her in a prostitution sting. >> bob, thank you much. let's switch gears. it's 5:06 this morning. we want to check the micro climate forecast with christina

l loren. >> unusual to be starting with the radar, that's what we'll do. as you can see, we have showers in northern california this morning. yesterday at this time, we had a bit of activity here in the bay area. you can see mostly dry for now. but once we see that big ridge of high pressure start to amplify today, we are expecting more of the same. it will stay muggy out there, just for one more day. temperatures in the upper 50s. comfortable out there now. if you want to walk the dog go for a bike ride. as we head throughout the day, the ridge of high pressure will amplify, bring more moisture to the bay area it will stay muggy. we also have a slight chance for a renegade shower or two as we get into this afternoon. temperatures are going to be comfortable. 82 for the south bay. 64 in san francisco. 76 on the east shore. even out in the hot spots, in the tri valley, 88 for today. we'll take a sneak peek at the

weekend. changes coming your way. first we'll check the drive. >> here's highway 101 with an easy light flow of traffic underneath 680, folks getting on to the freeway without problem. look at the map for the south bay. those freeways moving nicely. we will follow this, a deadly crash here off of highway 85 by santa teresa, east of cottle road. you can traverse south around that scene. we have a reporter coming up after this report. i'll cover the rest of traffic here to the south bay, north 101, right around lawrence expressway, reports of a crash there. another car into the tree off of the roadway. lanes are clear, but there's the distraction, light traffic keeps things moving slowly. for the rest of the bay, no problems, the bay to the toll bridge, no problems. we had delays on the left, de y delays were for cash payers but those lanes have cleared. new this morning a major

roadway in south san jose close the off after a deadly crash. officers are collecting evidence near the intersection of miyuki and santa teresa boulevard a few blocks from kaiser hospital. we are live at the scene. what have police told you so far? >> good morning, laura. so far we know that the driver was apparently driving southbound on santa teresa road. at this moment, the section of santa teresa is closed off. drivers are asked to head north, drivers are not allowed past miyuki intersection. it was a solo vehicle accident. a man driving a vehicle southbound on santa teresa boulevard when for unknown reasons he lost control and crashed into a tree. we are told he spun out and crashed into a treatment parp

paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. we're waiting for a tow truck to remove him from the car. once the road is reopened, drivers will be able to drive past miyuki. right now, drivers are asked to make a u turn and head north on santa teresa boulevard. we don't know how much longer this road will be closed off. we don't know if alcohol or drugs were a factor in the accident. we're gathering more information. we'll keep you updated. live in san jose, lucero benitez, "today in the bay." starting today, it will cost you more to park in downtown redwood city. stephanie trong is live in redwood city with more on the increase. good morning. >> good morning. we are standing in front of a huge driving factor in front of this construction. this sign says keep out, construction parking only, tow

away zone. this construction has taken away roughly 200 parking spots this morning rates will double from 50 cents to a dollar an hour while the parking in the outer areas of downtown remain at 25 cents an hour. the hope from city leaders, this will encourage people who park long-term here, such as employees, to park in the periphery and leave the central downtown spaces open for visitors and customers to drive business. the city projects the hiked up meters will bring in $630,000, other change also bring in 216,000. along with money from a garage, we're talking more than $900,000 a year in revenues for the city altogether. let's look at where the rates are doubling to $1 an hour. this is all around the city center. middle field road, jefferson avenue, marshall and main streets, as well as pennsylvania avenue. one more thing that leaders are

considering is mimicking a program in walnut creek where you ask private property owners to open up lots for public use. live in redwood city, "today in the bay". >> thank you. it's 5:11, washington lawmakers trying to repeal the supreme court's ruling in the hobby lobby case. details next. and check out this video, emergency crews called in to rescue a wayward surfer near san francisco's cliff house.

as well as food, clothes, medical care for the thousands of people being detained. a developing situation in the middle east right now. the israeli army stepping up its offensive on hamas in the gaza strip. the army attacked more than 160 sites in gaza alone today. more expected. 32 palestinians have been killed in air strikes including eight children since the full blown offensive started yesterday. nine children, actually. 200 were hurt. militants in gaza continue to fire rockets deep into israeli territory. that rocket fire sent guests at a wedding in central israel running for shelter last night. warning sirens blared as the country's defense system intercepted two of those rockets, one flying directly over this wedding ceremony. the violence in the region stems from the killing of three

israeli teens and what appears to be a revenge killing of palestinian teen. a powerful typhoon is barrelling towards mainland japan. the storm brought rains and wind gusts topping 140 miles per hour to the southern islands of okinawa. so far nearly 30 people are hurt. that storm expected to hit tokyo by friday. happening today, redwood city hiking its downtown parking rates. city officials say it will help free up parking spots. >> stephanie is live in redwood city, why else are they having the big increase? >> reporter: good morning. one of the concerns, smaller one s caltrain station is behind me. there is concern that might be bringing overflow parking for levi stadium events and earthquakes games. this year the construction is a

catalyst here, taking away about 250 spots. parking has been an issue with the growing downtown here and the county center nearby. 10:00 this morning, the rate also double from 50 cents to a dollar an hour. while parking in the outer areas of downtown remain at 25 cents an hour. that is until 6:00 at night. city leaders are hoping people who park long term here such as employees to park in the periphery and the outer parts of downtown and level central spots open for visitors. the city project that's hiked up meter rates will bring in $600,000 a year, and with other fees, over $900,000 a year will be brought in. let's look at where rates will be doubled.
