later on in the morning as they get a little bit more of a handle on the situation there with that brush fire. a smoother drive slower in between 101 and i-5. if you're heading towards l.a. and disneyland. we would suggest that being universal owned or consider that as your route to the south land right now. the rest of the drive moving smoothly. but we will focus on another issue getting into san francisco. this is for locals, be an issue all weekend long. northbound 280 is closed from 101 all the way up to at&t park. let me show you the video we have, just after the closure yesterday, but already begin busting up the roadway, and we have a slow drive past the area as folks see what's going on as early as this morning. but southbound 280 is open and again this is video from yesterday when it was well lit. right now we're seeing a smooth drive across the golden gate bridge with no problems, but again getting into the city, near 101 from the peninsula will be an issue. getting in from the north bay is not a problem because of traffic

flowing light right now. the bay bridge toll plaza has a drive right now. it's a lighter flow on the east shore freeway. we have one crash up in richmond, the albany area, and a little slow down there from an earlier crash. >> triple-a says more people will hit the roads. >> a lot more this year because we've adjusted after the higher gas prices. >> they've come down. >> thank you. >> extra report. >> i feel good now, thanks. now continuing coverage of the south napa earthquake, overnight, crews were on oak street cutting off gas services to this house which was just red tagged yesterday. firefighters say the man who lives there was trapped when the house suddenly shifted from its foundation. he wasn't hurt, but firefighters did have to help him escape the house through a window. small businesses in napa hoping for a successful labor day weekend. >> not everything's back to normal, but wineries, retailers hoping that the earthquake won't but the at dmp damper on the last holiday weekend of the summer season. "today in the bay's" bob redell

and wineries. including the st. berry winery which lost a few hundred bottles of wine during sunday's shaker. one of the most heavily damaged winery in the region in spite of that, the winery tells us that tomorrow, sunday, monday are looking to be very busy. they know this because tastings are done by appointment. they think they've done such a great job of cleaning up their winery that'll be hard to tell there was ever a quake there. >> on friday will be our first hit, so at 7:00, our grapes will arrive. people visiting us in the morning around 10:00, 11:00, 12:00 will get to see the sorting table and our first wine coming in. >> reporter: you might recall earlier in the week, napa valley wine train was shut down temporarily because of concerns over possible track damage that they have since alleviated that.

that is back up and running. a very popular attraction here in wine country. it is the labor day holiday weekend and lot of the region plans to be up and running. as you come here live, you can see the workers, this is what the restoration company must be shift change or they're taking a break, but you can get a sense of how many people have been in there trying to get this hotel back open after the water damage caused by sunday's earthquake. and again, this hotel plans to be back open within the next several hours. reporting live here in napa, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> all right. we heard you gathering information as we speak, thanks, bob. >> i think we should send bob up there for the weekend, and we should join him, just for the reporting of it. maybe christina loren too. tell us more about the potential of aftershocks perhaps. yeah, it's looking better this morning. but i think a lot of people are going to go up there and show their support to the residents of napa. and that's a good way to show your support, spend your tourism

dollars up tr there. through the next two days, this is the latest from the usgs, the probability now less than 10%. less than 10% for a 5.0 magnitude or larger. that is good news. also we're always taking a look at aftershocks, over the past 12 hours, we haven't had anything above a 2.0 for the west napa fault or even adjacent fault. that's good news. i want to remind you to bring the sunscreen, it is a little bit on the warm side, but not as hot as it could be. this isn't that bad, temperatures are going to be feel summer like for the unofficial end of the season. now this is what we're tracking, some changes in your forecast for today. courtesy of subtropical mire kreepg up from the remnants of hurricane marie moving all the way into the bay area. you can see that steady stream of moisture coming in, you're going to feel that today. it'll feel sticky, we're also getting shower activity, very light, nothing measurable. a lot of this is verga, which is

"today in the bay's" reporter joins us live from outside the police headquarters, and damian, there's growing concern about how the police are storing that information. who's information they're storing and what it might be used for, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, it's highly controversial here in the city of los altos. but yeah, a lot of police departments in the bay area and across california continue using this technology on license plate readers. in this case, how does it work? patrol car cruisers through a neighborhood and the system reads a license plate of every car it comes across. police say it allows them to detect any vehicles used in crimes or perhaps stolen cars. officers says it saves time in calling dispatch for one suspicious license plate. this.

allows them to get immediate hits on suspicious vehicles. now here in los altos. it authorized the storing of information for only one year. in a recent report on the protocols and use of this technology. the chief told the city he plans to store the information indefinitely for crime fighting purposes. the dispatch newspaper here in this town reports in the last fiscal year, the readers scanned almost 136,000 plates, and of those, only 68 got hit for suspicious vehicles. again, it remains controversial here, but the chief says this is going to allow him to fight crime a little bit better. we're live in los altos, "today in the bay." menlo parking day immediate action to the new water restrictions. the city is calling for residents to cut back their water use by 30%. that is 10% more than what the state wants. many residents say that is just too drastic. city officials say the state was forcing the city to quickly make

monterrey earlier this week, we had a 68 degrees water temperature. it's unusual. if you're going to get throughout, watch out for rip currents. temps stay steady in the south bay and in san francisco all the way through the beginning of next week, here's mike and the drive. we have a problem, this is a lighter friday commute, but here's the issue, northbound 280 is closed. and that happened yesterday afternoon, you know about that or you should if you're heading into san francisco. it's closed for that work. the repair work for the hinges. your alternate is northbound 10 1d where we just heard about a three vehicle crash. north 101 at cesar chavez. blocking your slow lane. that's one less on your only free getting north in through san francisco. that will be an issue until they clear that and chp hasn't arrived on scene. this just happened. cesar chavez, mary poe is a, those are the two or three areas where we can go back and forth between third street. if that's where you're headed, the other areas where l have

more traffic flow because of the traffic necessary as there is that closure for northbound 280. we'll track the crash north 101. the rest of your bay moves as you would expect on a friday, it's a lighter flow of traffic and just a little slowing shows up. not a problem as far as the volume of traffic. over here towards the tri-valley, 580 westbound with the headlights coming towards me and it's a light volume right now. steady speeds on the 50 to 55 mile per hour range all the way out of altamont, that's a great flow of traffic. christina talked about tahoe, eastbound 580 for some folks heading over to i-80. it'll start in the afternoon because it is labor day weekend, expect that to be a shift earlier than the typical friday. and bay bridge toll plaza, we have no backup because it is a friday here. more folks heading in about midday, and that'll continue to build throughout the day. and there may be a shift in traffic because of that closure for 280. any time anything happens. people just tend to change their routes anyway. they think they're helping, sometimes they're not. and we're looking at the south

bay, northbound 101 smooth drive through here. no problems through san jose, but heading to l.a., 152 eastbound has only one lane open pass the casa defroou that. back to you. >> thank you. controversy at the oorks's game down in anaheim. see this picture tweeted out by body brazil. he's telling fans to turn on their cell phone lights while the a's were at-bat. the angels say it's not sabotage, it's a twist on the wave called the light wave. apparently its been going on all summer. by the way, the a's last the game in extra innings. the a's are protesting, there's a controversial obstruction call in the game. still ahead on "today in the bay," drastic cuts after two tragedies for malaysian airlines. and flights diverted. evacuations under way as a volcano spews in the south pacific. we'll take a look. and from the south pacific

absolutely nothing above 2.0. if you wanted to head out to napa wine country. hereafter's the forecast for that. upper 80s for today. by saturday, 92 degrees. then on labor day holding on to the low 90s. make sure you bring your sunscreen and a good attitude. they are going to have a lot of fun out there at napa this weekend. let's talk about the showers that are coming in, really unusual to see this this time of year. it's the subtropical moisture. we thought this was going to happen right on time, the showers are starting to push towards the coastline a lot of that activity is going to work its way into the north bay this morning. but we already have h a little bit of activity on the western facing slope surrounding san jose. and it's all coming from the remnants of hurricane marie which is all the way down here losing organization, losing steam as we speak, but continuing to funnel in that subtropical moisture right here into the bay area. so temperatures right now mostly in the 60s. it feels closer to 70 degrees out thereto in some spots. and that is because of that humidity. as we get into your weekend.

temperatures really stay steady, we have a slight chance for rain tomorrow morning, same deal as today. and then by sunday, better chance in the evening hours. as we meet back here next week, four day week, abbreviated workweek, we like that as well. temperatures staying nice and level. let's look at that drive. we had problems earlier, good morning, mike. actually, i'm going to scott and kris, we'll get to mike in just a minute. >> mike wants to tell us about 151 -- 152. fire crews only have had half contained. so stima lot of work ahead of them. this is new video of the fire from overnight. flames came so close to the roadway, they stopped traffic for a while, but now all lanes are reopened. fire officials believe it started after a car crash yesterday afternoon. so far, no injuries, no damages are reported. mike inouye joins us for a look at traffic impact, and certainly lots of labor day travelers out on the road, and perhaps up early this morning figuring out

how to get around. >> a lot making the early getaway. there's disneyland, universal studios, that's our parent company, we remind you that. kris talked about reopening, they have one lane closed. eastbound, past casa fruita. if you drive it, here's the deal, 101 coming through gilroy. 152 cuts you over there, then i-5 in towards l.a. that cut through is a restricted flow of traffic because of the brush fire. they're still closing one of your eastbound lanes. and that he will be an issue getting through the area slowing you down just a bit. but you can access i-5, plan on extra time. we had a little extra time northbound 101. there was a single problem, but it looks like the slowing there as cleared. and the rest of the bay, it's a typical friday. pre-holiday friday. this will kick in over the next hour, but we will have delays that show up there. we have delays showing up right

here. this is the other big issue for the bay area. this is the big issue all weekend. north 280 is closed from 101 up to at&t park for the weekend. and well we do have the 101 as your alternate, using cesar chavez, going through the the ball park tonight, up to at&t park where there is a game, that will be one of your reroutes. city streets will be crowded as we were the last time we had that closure over on the fourth of july. right now cesar chavez, another back towards 280. already in the slower drive, there've ban couple of fender benders that's been an issue there. that'd be the option and get you around any problems. if you're coming over from the east bay. the bay bridge shows this. look how light the traffic is and no problems. oakland, a quick look past the coliseum. you have speed throughout the freeway. the golden gate bridge the issue, maybe low clouds sinking down right at the deck, but the not a major problem. we have a light volume out of the north bay. remember, as we've been talking about. napa has a couple of streets closed, but they are open for business. keep that in mind.
