the highway patrol captain in charge says the curfew is not to blame here. >> this incident began three and a half hours before the curfew was started. and i believe the continued resolve of a good people of this community will ultimately triumph over the few people bent on violence and destruction. >> now some background here. the protests of course fueled by the death of 18-year-old mike brown. he was an unarmed teenager killed by a police officer. a medical examiner hired by the family released his autopsy report and it shows that brown was shot at least six times including twice in his head. all of the bullets were fired into his front, none in the back. the justice department will conduct its own autopsy as well. and another one also being conducted by local officials. president obama will be briefed about unrest in ferguson today at the white house. at 6:14, new morning, wikileak's founder julianne assange says he'll be leaving the embassy in london soon.

where, of course, the u.s. embassy is and that could have put u.s. personnel and facilities in danger. and that's why president obama told congress he went ahead with this action. the president did notify members of congress, republicans and democrats alike are saying that they are in approval of what the president is doing right now, but a lot of them believe the president is going right up to the edge of his war powers, and that you really need to get not just advice, but also consent from congress on further military action here. this turn of events though in anamosale was -- in mosul was critical, it could not have been carried out with u.s. air support. it helped kurdish troops get in and secure this critical piece of infrastructure, laura. >> good to note, thank you very much, brian, live from washington. >> thank you. 6:32 on your monday, time to check the forecast as we give you a live peek outside at the golden gate bridge. lots of school districts back in

cool today. where we have the shallow marine layer burning off. you can see here over the santa clara valley. definitely warm, but not bad. about 80 degrees and that's it for today in san jose. so let's look at the bay area from space. and you can see where the low clouds are at this point, they extend all the way around the inner bay making their way through the delta this morning. that's going to keep temperatures down even into the upper 80s. no 90s on the map. onshore flow stays firm. i'm going to say through about thursday. area of low pressure just offshore. that's going to keep the flow in place. things are going to change. rapidly. thursday into friday, high pressure comes back, it's going to pull up subtropical moisture and that means that muggy feeling is going to return to the bay area. thursday, friday, and saturday are the days that i'm really focussing in on for that, but that moist air mass just couple days away at this point from really impacts places like santa cruz and areas to the south. dry heat for us today.

82 in the south bay, 76 on the way for the east shore. 64 in san francisco, and 80 degrees today out in the north bay, that is not a bad day whatsoever. then, as we take you into the next couple days, we have changes to tell you about. but really not temperature wise. 80 degrees holds strong, tuesday into wednesday, we'll be in the low 80s on thursday. nunling the temperatures up a touch. what you will notice is the humidity will increase. and we might get a stray shower or isolated thunderstorm thursday into friday as we get closer to the days. i'll keep you updated, right now let's check your drive. here's mike. >> it has, but as laura mentioned, 17 school districts, 11 colleges in session. colleges in particular that add commuters likely to the local areas not across town. keep that in mind. some are new to the area, and welcome if you're joining us from out of state. over here at northbound 101, moving smoothly. even the low clouds floating around from time to time. not a problem for visibility here. look at the maps, slower drive developing north 101 as well as 87, and now 85 just creeping

down below 60 miles per hour. over here on this side, capitol expressway, we have the overnight major crash there involving about ten cars, stephanie chuang will give us an update on the latest situation. capitol expressway was closed near the middle school. keep that in mind as well. we're talking about delays for cal train through belmont, heard about signal problems north and southbound trains reporting delays as much as 20 to 25 minutes. at that time. haven't had an update on specifics lately. there are going to be system wide delays for cal train. rest of the trains moving smoothly including bart past the scene of the fire. we're looking at palo alto here, live look for 101 past yairt. northbound from university up towards moving nicely. new tire reported in lanes right around embarcadero could show you down. back in the maps, getting here from the east bay west 92 and west 84. that's the san mateo bridge and the dumbarton bridge. slowing southbound typical of hayward in towards union city and fremont for south 880. here is south 680. sorts itself out, calmer now.

the earlier crash, west 580 has cleared out of the roadway. motorcycle was involved with the driver sound like that driver's okay as well as the other cars involved and the other drivers, smoother slower drive for 84 out of vasco. here's your north bay approach. watch for fog across the golden gate bridge. we'll give you a live look. that's what you contend into the city and out of the city up through the area. you can now see the deck. things can surely change we continue to follow, back to you. >> thank you very much. it's 6:50, developing, unrest, looting, and chaos as protesters clash with police in ferguson. now the national guard is moving in. overnight, reports of tear gas launched by police and molotov caulk tames thrown by protesters. all this as we get new details and the shooting death of unarmed teenager michael brown. nbc's jay gray joins us live in ferguson, missouri, with the latest, good morning, jay. >> reporter: hey there, good morning, laura.

always good to talk to you. i have an update on the national guard troop on the way in. they've made it to the area. and we expect to see them any time now 80 guardsmen, and their primary focus initially will be to zhur area, the police command -- secure this area, the police command center. that's where the problems were last night. police say two molotov cocktails were lobbed at officer in this area. area that was a clean zwoen no real problems until last night. when it happened things were locked down immediately. there was tear gas issued, i can attest to that. there were also armored vehicles, the officers in tactical and riot gear that all moved in. being played out for a couple of hours here. we are told by police that there were at least six people armed in the crowd. two maybe three people injured by gunfire, officers not involved in any of that, and four, maybe five businesses that

were damaged and looted, one of them burned and so a violent night last night. one that a lot of people may have been the worst since this started in the eight, nine nights that they've had to deal with this. and there's concern that it's going to be escalate as we move forward and so that's run of the reasons the governor has moved these national guardsmen in, laura. >> thank you very much, jay, for the very latest. michael brown was shot at least six times, including twice in the head. this according to the latest autopsy. the rest of the bullets struck his right arm. all of those bullets were fired, koorgt mexicos on to his -- according to medical examiners in his front side, not the backside. there were no gun powder on his body. all of this per a private autopsy conducted bay doctor hired by brown's family. the justice department meantime will be conducting its own autopsy and another one will be done by local officials.

there's a house on the backside that also caught fire. so the fire department right now whoo they've done is they've take an defensive posture in a since they're not going to go inside anymore because they realize there's no point in that. it'd be too dangerous. they have five lines dumping water, three lines from the air, from the ladders, two from the ground, and they give you a sense of just how much water is being dumped. if you look in the foreground and look into the trainage area, you have this river of water that's going all the way down san leandro. right up against the bart tracks. so that's quite a lot of heat they're trying to get rid of. a lot of flames. there are reports what the battalion chiefs, there were squatters inside the one building. they have not been able to find those people. and again, those are just reports. things that people have been coming up to them and telling them. one of the challenges was the

downed power lines. you can see them in the foreground. they are no longer charged, but when the fire first started, they were electrified, the fire department had to wait for pge to come out and shut those off, as a result, there's roughly around 5,000 customers in this area that are without power and will be without power for quite some time until they're able to fix this. so again, three alarm fire contained, certainly not out, destroyed their carpet depot, possibly another building and a home on the backside. one firefighter injured, minor injures i mentioned. chief reiterated that person was taken to the hospital just as a precaution. live in oakland, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you, bob. check back in with him when he has concrete details. in the men time, new information stemming from a major crash in san jose. last night involving eight different cars. the fire department tweeting these pictures of the crash that injured ten people. this all happened on east capitol expressway. this around 9:30 last night.
