least one stab wound. although scanner reports indicated he may have been stabbed in the neck and back. he would die at a nearby and hospital now homicide detectives are working the scene. we've seen officer moving ampbd the area looking for possible evidence. southbound market is shut down between san carlos and san fernando. we spoke to one person who was tried to get home who had to be turned around. >> i had to choose another route in order to go home. so it's frustrating, but it is what it is. >> reporter: and as we come back out here live, you can see investigators taking a look at a black backpack and that is exactly where they think this stabbing took place. they've talked to witnesses, again, no one in custody. that man died at a hospital. as you mentioned, this is the second homicide in just about 12 hours. the 21st homicide happened about 12 hours ago in east san jose. and now this one this morning.

winding down which is great news. i want to kind of flatten out for you and show you three dimensionally. we don't have a lot of activity whatsoever. you can see just little flashes of green moving over the bay area, but enough to keep our hillsides nice and moist. really good news. when it comes to the situation with fire season here in the bay area, i can tell you we've officially been in the summer for over about a month and ten days, and yeah, maybe one, to retd flag warnings and that's it. that's great news. and that can all change as we get to nekd weekend. we can keep the stretch going and we cut off the humidity. that is what we're working with this morning. 6:08, beautiful start to the day here overlooking the santa clara valley. the peninsula, here's woodside. little bit of fog on the coastal side of the mountains. and ocean beach this morning, pretty shot here. nice shallow marine layer and the water temperature still in the low 60s. 62 degrees in the water here at ocean beach. 63 degrees on the peninsula right now. temperatures are going to jump into the mid to upper 80s. still going to be sticky out there by tomorrow, we'll cut

hot. we are going to have to deal with that humidity yet again. and everybody's asking me why is it so humid, christina loren? well i have the answer right now. and it has everything to do with this subtropical air mass, it's the monsoonal flow that we typically see this time of year. mostly it impacts the four corners region. this year the corner of that ridge has really been impacting california. and for us, we're going to see all that moisture surge to the north yet again. so high pressure sits here. you've got that clock wise rotation around it. it pulls than moisture from just off the coast of baja and brings it all the way here to the bay area, and it's that warm moist air from the subtropical latitudes coming into our neck of the woods that makes it feel so stickyicy. and that's going to be the case for today and tomorrow. you can see that here on your radar. not really enough rain for know go in and zoom it in on any of the cells. a lot of the activity is clearing up. . we're fair game for a stray shower or two as we go through your morning together.

the scene. the police investigation closing south and market between san fernando and san carlos. basically up to the opposite side of the park from the fairmont and local landmarks. the tech museum, scott and mortons, the bank of america as well. park avenue from what i understand has access to those parking lots. not the major issue, the other is you'll have to route back around, and around if you're trying to get arounded that to the other side. just that one short segment of market is what's closed right now for the continuing investigation. meanwhile, we're also looking towards the tri-valley for west 580. build continues steadily. we have your slowing now for south 680, pleasanton into sunol. typical pattern. the orange means it's coming down towards 50 miles an hour. the rest of your bay area, pattern develops for southbound 880. may be a few more cars, after early problems were reported. those have sorted themselves out. over at the golden gate bridge across the bay, nice easy drive. we see the fog developing on the north sided.

happened yesterday afternoon on grammar si place in east san jose. investigators say several children playing in the street, someone began shooting. a man who was walking on the street killed at the scene. unknown as if he was the target. investigators in fact are unsure if the suspect was walking as well or maybe driving, but a gun was found at the scene. police say the area is known for gang activity and people who live there say graffiti in the neighborhood marks the street as gang territory. >> every other night there's some kind of fighting, shooting, drinking, fireworks, really get tired of it. and nobody seems to do anything about it. now earlier this morning, the identity had not been released and police have not given us anymore information about the suspect. and time now to check the forecast as we look live at san francisco this morning. boy those clouds are drooping kind of low. it is a muggy start to this day, but we're not going to complain

to christina loren about it, we're not. >> no, because everybody else will. you can read it and laugh at what others are saying about the humidity. it's actually a good place for you to vent. i won't take offense. 6:4 now, take you outside and show you what we are working with, you know what, we don't have to deal with this humidity typically here in the bay area. we get accustomed to our dry summer heat. but we've been dealing with it for the past three weeks, and this morning, it is definitely noticeable when you walk out your front door, but the benefits of that moisture, couple things to point out. a, we get these really comfortable mornings. so if you wanted to go for a bike ride, not too cold for that. you're at 65 degrees in livermore, 62 in san jose. and 61 degrees in oakland. also, it's going to take a few hours for that sun to warm up that moist air mass. it takes more energy to warm up the moisture. and that's why it takes more energy to warm up the pacific ocean than it does air.

it's actually really cool. we'll get into science later on, i want to start with what's happening right here. this is what we're working with this morning, shower activity, hit or miss. chances are you won't see any activity on your way to work, but if you are the one guy who's driving down 85, you have to use your windshield wipers, at least i told you about it. pacifica shows you cloudy conditions here. i want to the give you an idea of what the bay looks like. really gorgeous. also because we're in the 60s, you're also still getting those warm water temperatures. you could actually go out there to the beach right now in santa cruz and look at this, you have the entire beach to yourself this morning. so let's talk about that wind and your water temperature. because this is going to change dramatically as our wind directions change. we've had the wind out of the southeast for the past couple weeks and as a result, really beautiful, warm ocean currents. now things are already changing on the north end of the bay area. you're back in the mid-50s, but look at this. if you have the day off, you want to hit the beach, likely these numbers are going to fall

as we head through tomorrow, we're still getting water at 65 degrees, just offshore in monterrey. you're at 63 meanwhile in santa cruz. and you'll really notice the difference where those northerly wind have returned. 54 degrees meanwhile just to the north of the bay. so yeah, that's cool signs for you this morning. also to want talk about where we're headed because your temperatures aren't going to change all that much, but they will feel truer to form. 88 degrees is going to feel like 95 today in the south bay with the humidity out there. 88 for the north bay. by the time we hit thursday, that 88 degree reading is actually going to feel like 88 degrees. once we shave off that humidity. it's going to feel more comfortable, less sticky, more manageable, but then of course, we have to be concerned with the potential for fire danger. sop that's what we're watching for as we get into the end of the week. it's always a give and take. and the same goes in the traffic department. let's find out where you're taking off on time, here's mike. might be taking off on time, slowing a little bit. some folks nob 101 as it builds

here as well as look at the maps. 87 kicks in over the last few minutes. 280 and 85 showing a speed coming down at 880. there's the volume increase. we see the traffic continue for the tuesday. hitting hard for your commute through the freeway, and we're looking at downtown as well. derek shore just gave you that update on the homicide investigation which keeps south market closed between san fernando and san carlos. that's the opposite side from the fairmont, basically from the tech, american music theater towards wells fargo and the art museum. that's the stretch that is closed, however, you can access these parking lots off the park. best we can tell, there's no one stopping you getting there. there's better news for folks into downtown. use the perimeter as they direct you if you have to head past the scene. southbound 880, volume increase for the areas south of 238 down through hayward and union city. typical pattern forhe

getting away from the bay bridge south 880. may be a traffic be a traffic . degree reported earlier. we'll give you a live look itself. as folks are heading into the area, look, we had another crash in the back of it. i just saw be pulled off the roadway. there's the tow truck. all lanes are clear. the left approach for the cash lanes is actually looking lighter as well. now, hearing about the problems at bay bridge, some headed towards the san mateo bridge. i'm watching for perhaps a higher volume heading here or the richmond bridge. just a note because we don't see quite as much traffic at the bay bridge. i'm wondering where they went. of course might be on summer vacation, back to you. >> fair enough, thank you. new morning, six people rushed to the hospital overnight after a van trying to escape police hit a taxi, hopped a curb, hit two pedestrians. this happened overnight at post and jones. in the city's tenderloin.
