weekend upon us. it's november 6th this is "today in the bay." >> from nbc bay area, this is "today in the bay." >> and a good morning to you on this friday eve. thank you for joining us. i'm sam brock. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. in just a few hours, a bay area doctor is leaving his family behind for several weeks to help stop the spread of ebola in liberia. bob, the ucf doctors he's prepared for the fight. >> he is. he's a dr. who will begin his trip to liberia just a few hours from now. he does admit to us he is a little bit anxious about traveling to the ebola hot zone, he has a certain level of anxiety putting himself in a position where he could possibly contact this deadly virus. that's why he's contacted plenty of face masks and shields.

he's completed three days of intensive training on ebola at the cdc in atlanta. he'll most likely be working in smaller clinics. the trick he tells us will be to differentiate patients with the flu, typhoid and ebola, since they all show similar symptoms. dr. lay is calling on other doctors to step up and help those who are being affected and sometimes killed from this disease. >> it's basically a fight for social justice. it might not be apparent. but dr. martin luther king said that one of the most shocking and inhumane injustices is the inequality in health care. and that's what people like me are trained to do. we need to address the inequities in the world when it comes to health care. >> dr. lay hopes to be home in time to spend christmas with his wife and daughter but is willing to forego that and submit

himself to a 21-day quarantine when he returns, if need be. reporting live here at sfo, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks, bob. >> a heart breaking story this morning. an alameda was murdered. she and her boy friend got into an argument over the weekend while visiting her parents over the weekend. police say carr killed turner and then took off in a stolen vehicle. he was arrested hours later. >> 72-year-old jerry canfield turned himself in last week. he told police he killed himself of 30 years because they made a pact, when she couldn't tack the

pain anymore, he'd kill her. when police got to the house, he shot his wife. there were flowers by her side. friends say she is dementia. >> i don't know if they talked about it and made a pabt of some kind. >> canfield is expected to talk about it in court next week. >> commuters could soon find expanded options and traffic relief at one of the bay area's busiest highways. the vta considering toll lane for drivers at a cost. >> it could be considered a girl or guy's best friend as long as they're willing to pony up a little cash. the vta is considering adding

toll lanes on a congested stretch of highway 85 north to the 101 connector in mountain view. will will turn the existing hov lanes into express lanes. folks driving alone would be able to pay to use those express lanes during the morning and evening commute. the same would be true of additional car pooling that is planned between highway 87 and interstate 280. that would be two diamond lanes there. if you want to learn more, go to the regular vta meeting this afternoon at 4:30 at the santa clara transportation building at 3331 north first street in san jose. it's a project they're hoping to have approval for or a decision for by the end of this year and it would be a couple of other years before we get to ride

faster if that's what we choose. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> looks like you've experienced that 85 crunch before? >> sure. a lot of people in the south bay know it, 85, 87 pretty backed up in the morning. let's check the mucommute with mike. >> you're absolutely right, laura. what kris was talking about, 85 all the way into saratoga and the second half jams up into cupertino. so that is the area where kris is talking about, the consideration for the lanes not happening any time soon. the earlier crash at 105 has cleared. the rest of the bay, you're basically at the limit. orange right here, second 880 in addition to what we expect here. we have a camera right here in fremont. nothing go on on the southbound

side. that may have been a couple of slower traveling vehicles. the bay bridge toll plaza is very clear right now. folks still sticking around. looks like they still have these two lanes closed. they'll open hopefully in the next couple of minutes. i'll track that. this is how i look at the bay bridge. this is what christina gets to look at. we have nice view of the city itself you are going to tell us what this shot means as far as the weather. >> i have to be honest, i don't get out to emeryville that often, mike. yeah, that looks pretty good for commuters so far. >> if you're headed over to tahoe for the weekend, some gorgeous fall color, especially between 3,000 and 6,000 feet.

they're also making snow. if you're headed out there, bundle up. temperatures only climbing to the 40s and 50s over the course of the weekend. that's where we're starting to see the season settle in. for us, we m a really warm day yesterday, courtesy of offshore flow and strong high pressure. as we get into today, everything changes and you can already see that taking place here, strong onshore flow, those clouds steadily streaming in all day long and that's going to lead to much cooler temperatures as we get into your afternoon to the tune of about 5 to 10 degrees. so you will notice the difference. comfortable levels, 72 on the east shore, 72 for the peninsula today and 73 degrees for us here in the south bay. we're looking really comfortable today with changes as of tomorrow. stickaround. we'll dive into your friday and weekend forecast. coming up in just a little bit. back to you. >> that's a good tease. we can't wait. >> so much for a tuition freeze

at u.c. campuses. looks like a new plan is in the works to raise the cost by 5% a year for the next five years. nanette miranda joins us live to explain what has to happen in order for the fees to take effect. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. nepin napolitano is calling for twice increases and she said as much as 5% in each of the next five years to make up the gap. that could be a marked chang from over the last three years when tuition has remained frozen, partly because governor brown has given u.c. more money thanks to a temporary tax increase. right now students pay a little over $12,000 a year. next fall the cost is closer to $13,000 a year. but take a look at 2019.

tuition could be 15,500 a year. this is the plan she is expected to present to the governing board later today. it will be quite interesting to see what governor brown's thoughts are. in fact, he gave u.c. 5% more funding this year and this year's state budget and 4% more in each of the next two years, all of that on the condition this tuition not be raised. so i bet he'll be a little mad. >> we might see some pushback there on those proposals. >> right now, a dream come true for an nfl player, the special game he'll participate in tonight. >> and want what you order from amazon even faster? give it a ride in a taxi cab. what's possible today?

have been is it suk. if you live or. >> they're talking about including diamond lanes or hov lanes on highway 85, the whole stretch between 101 and bail live road in south san jose all the way north to the 101 connector in mountain view. it could turn the 27 miles of existing car pool lanes into express lanes, which car poolers could travel for free. drivers alone could pay now, additionally the vta is also

considering adding a second car pool lane to the really con jested part of highway 85 between highway 87 and interstate 280 in san jose -- rather the stretch that runs between campbell and cupertino. the additional lane factored in brings the price tag to $170 million. there is likely to be a vote tonight, the vta board will talk about it. if the board goes forward, the final decision could come this year, final design could be approved as well and then there could be some relief in the form of diamond lanes come middle of 2017. so still a little way off but when you're stuck in traffic, you have plenty of time to think about the future. >> that's right. a lot of people probably heading out the doors to hit those roads. >> most people spending the

holida holidays back with their families. one doctor is heading to the ebola hot zone in liberia. he must feel some sort of apprehension, even though it's a very noble thing to do. >> reporter: he does admit to being anxious about traveling to liberia to an ebola hot zone. but dr. lay has packed a lot of personal protection gear and he's been trained about the ins and outs of this deadly virus. he leaves sfo. >> dr. lay recognizes that he might have to quarantine himself for 21 days when he returns to protect the community here in the bay area. even if that means missing christmas with his wife and young daughter. but he's committed toig fightin this deadly disease, he tells
