loren, good morning. >> hey, good morning, yeah, you can see from that live picture of emeryville, we have a lot of voibl moisture out thereto. when it comes to humidity levels, we are watching the fire in the south bay, up high this morning, but one thing that's also up are your wind speeds. and right now i want to focus in on that, in the san jose area, 13 mile an hour sustained speed, significant for us, we're getting combusts closer to 20 miles per hour. that smoke is going to drift up the planes since we have that wind out of the south. what else is happening out there because of that south wind, we're getting that garlic smell all the way up to san jose. even reports along the peninsula, coopertino area of that smell of garlic this morning. so definitely something we're going to be watching for you overall update on that fire in just moments. 62 degrees in san francisco, 60 degrees in oakland, and 60 in mountain view. we have this that flow for the past few days. and as a result, our hillsides are still pretty moist. whechbt red flag warnings for the past couple weeks and

overall, its been a good season so far for us here in the bay area. things will change as we get into the weekend, i'll talk about that coming up. right now let's talk about ocean beach where you can see the full deck of clouds overhead. quite the contrary here in sunol. mostly clear sky, still kind of sticky out there. little bit of a break from the humidity today, then we're going to bring it back up for tomorrow, and lose it altogether over your beautiful weekend. 76 degrees in the north bay today. 65 in san francisco, 82 in the south bay, 78, hard to beat that on the peninsula. the east shore's at 75, and out in the tri-valley, about 86 degrees as we get into this afternoon, overall as we head throughout the next couple days, humidity will stick around, it's noticeable because typically we have dry air mass over the bay area. but here's what we're expecting through tomorrow, today we'll stay nice and dry, then meeting back here tomorrow at 6:00 a.m., few showers likely on the radar, but, as this area of high pressure starts to weaken, loses energy, we're going to say nice and dry as we get into this

upcoming weekend. it's going to feel a lot more comfortable, great looking weekend shaping up for you. saturday and sunday in the south bay, 80 degrees for saturday, up to 83 by sunday. and in san francisco, mid-60s for you all weekend long. let's check your drive, here's mike. >> all right christina, golden gate bridge, low clouds drifting around right now to just above the deck. it's fine for the drivers on the bridge itself, we'll look at that, it's affecting our view of the hills. folks south of the tunnel, you might get a patch or two there. keep that in mind, we're looking at your maps coming into san francisco and easy drive throughout the stretch. debris reported south 101. is sounds like everything's out of lanes. no slowing through san rafael. giants play tonight, keep in mind, not today, this is midday, 12:45 this afternoon. that's why it's a concern because that'll mean a late morning build approaching noon as we have the traffic going into the city once again. we do have options for you. right now east shore freeway showing slower drive, but no drama. and beautiful drive throughout

the area including oakland as well with slowing for 880. concern in oakland with the bart system just 15 minutes ago, reports of a 15 minute delay because of some police activity on trains, but now we have no delays reported by the bart system. same for the rest of the mass transit. caltrans, bart, and muni are great options. midday again, getting away from there as well. vta through the south bay, no problems, and the rest of the bay, typical schedule, south 880 through hayward in the southbound direction to. the tri-valley has your typical slowing here north 80 shows a heavier volume and traffic and that is a concern. we're looking over towards north 101 as well. then skipped over one of the cameras. we're going to end with oakland past the coliseum. we talked about the building commute. it's north of high street. easy drive to high street and slower through downtown and the southbound side builds here and through the bridge, back to you. >> thanks a lot, mike. it is 6:50, today medical marijuana supporters are protesting new restrictions put out by the city of san jose.

the city is forcing pot clubs to shut down starting next week. >> lucero benitez is live where protesters will start gathering soon, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, it's expected that many marijuana users along with supporters will be out here today in front of city hall in san jose protesting what could be next week's potential shut down of the majority of pot shops here in the city. right now, the city has some of the strictest rules regarding marijuana dispensary including where they can set up shop and the hours to keep regulations. they are unrealistic. among the requirements, dispensaries must grow pot on site and select industrial areas. around the clock security though they can only be open select hours during the day. no one under 18 is allowed in, and no one can use the pot in the store. in addition to gathering to protest here at city hall today, marijuana advocates also want people to continue to sign a

petition to put their own regulations before voters, more than one has told us they have enough signatures to do that already, though it has not been filed. while shutting down the majority of the existing pot clubs in the city will certainly cut into the $5 million in tax revenue. the majority of people pulled -- polled in the city said repeatedly they want rules to keep place out of hands of kids and to cut down on crime that sometimes happens in the area around dispensaries. the pot shop collectors who want people to turn out and rally here today are offering a free voucher to the first 1,000 people who show up to this rally with that voucher. they can receive an evaluation and if they do pass, then they would get a free card for medical marijuana. live in san jose, louer is voe benitez, "today in the bay." >> thank you. it is 6:52, chevron is hoping to spend $1 billion to give its richmond refinery a so-called facelift. company says the renovations will make the refineries safer and cleaner.

dozens who packed a heated meeting last night in front of city leaders are split on the idea, especially in the light of a massive fire at the refineries two years ago. stephanie chuang live outside the refinery. stephanie, the company says the project would let its process more crude oil. >> reporter: that's right, good morning, laura. and the company saying it would not increase the generation of pollution here, but there are a lot of doubters, and especially of course with the images of that fire you talked about in august of 2012, the flames, the heavy smoke in the skies here, still pretty vivid for some, and some did go and speak at the meeting last night at kennedy high. supporters spoke about how this will lead to hundreds of much-needed jobs, mostly construction, of course, opponents are concerned about safety, they're nervous that'll lead to an north carolina amount of pollution since the project is set to expand. the ability to process crude oil as well as oil with higher

levels of sulfur. again, chevron says there'll be no increase in toxic air contaminants. >> the modernization sprojt a billion dollar investment in the refinery. it's a reliability project to its core that allows us to replace some of the oldest prosing equipment within the refineries. >> reporter: and old equipment was one major problem identified by central regulators with the chemical safety board after that august 2012 fire that sent an estimated 15,000 people in the area to seek medical treatment. now a federal investigation included the company did not apply safer technology when it could and should have. there was also a fire in 2007 that left -- led to a shelter in place for the community. the planning commission must decide whether to approve the final environmental impact report and grant the company a conditional use permit that would of course give the company the green light to move forward and that decision by the city could come at a meeting tonight.

live in richmond this morning, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> nanks a lot, stephanie. tonight benicia will hold a hearing on the plan to the east baby train. recent report found crude by rail project would have a significant and unavoidable impact on air quality, but would have little impact on water quality. local soil, and biological resources. tonight's hearing is at 7:00 at the benicia city hall, no action will be taken tonight. if approved, ve lair row would be allowed to bring in two 50 tanker car trains of crude oil in and out every single day. that isle still comes in, just currently shipped by boats. fans heading to at&t park will be hearing about a possible new dress code. >> "today in the bay's" bob redell joins us at the ball park, bob, this rule aimed at culturally inappropriate clothing. >> reporter: and this is a proposed ban the giants is considering there, scott and laura. to ban attire that is considered

culturally insensitive. this is because an incident that happened a few montds ago. june 23rd, it was native american heritage night. during the game, a woman fan who is native american, confronted this fellow fan. white man who is wearing a plastic red, white, and blue head dress. you can see him here in a picture she shared with the huffington post. she explained it was offensive, to her surprise, he agreed to hand over the head dress. when she refused to give it back, security showed up and this happened. you can see this in the youtube clip. the woman whose name is april ended up in a scuffle with san francisco police. they returned the head dress back to the man's group, detained her, and kicked her out for unruly behavior. a native american man who shot this video who ended up online. they were released after the game with no charges filed, there was no no arrest and she eventually wrote an article explaining her position, and apparently the san francisco giants have take whan she wrote

to heart because the organization is reportedly looking into shooting this new rule that would ban as we mention culturally insensitive attire and general offensive behavior of violators would be ejected from the game. but again, this is just a proposal. nothing yet set in stone. reporting live here at at&t park, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> all right, bob, thank you. 6:57 within let's get at final check of the top stories, house side of the capitol back open this morning after an industrial spill shut it down for a short time. happened this morning while crews were trying to get rid of asbestos from the fourth floor. lawmakers will head into work in a couple hours late at 9:00 this morning. today dozens of medical marijuana supporters will protest san jose's new rules against pot shops. those restrictions will force more than 07d cannabis -- 70 cannabis clubs to shut down next week. this afternoon at city hall, they'll tree to get people to sign to allow them to stay open. firefighters just arriving the scene at a small brush fire. you can see it on the right hand
