what's your favorite part about the bay area? >> it's because my family lives here. but i love the cultures here. we have such a variety. we can go. >> north 101, typical slowing, 85 really kicking over the last few. we'll watch this as it develops. of the earlier fire reported just underneath highway 87, it was on a surface street, so much of a nonissue, they barely put it in their books but they did have to. typical slowing. there's a little bit of red. big slowing just sourt of 288. there's your build through hayward and your build for west 92. your typical tri-valley starting to kick in right now. and no surprises for 84, getting that cut over from 580 over to

680. the standard build on the approach, the worst of it from highway 24 and 580. the golden gate bridge, we're looking at a nice clear view of the bridge itself. as poe. >> there may be an issue with visibility. back to you. >> and how are the markets? >> we just want to see a little green out there. >> we have a little green. tesla made fewer cars than expected. elon musk had really sort of fired people up as far as what tesla was doing. tesla is up better than 3% this morning. so go figure. tesla doing surprisingly well. as you can see, the dow barely moving. it's up 12 points. big jobs number tomorrow.

sunrise. san francisco, the transamerica building, the start of the beautiful day with the weekend shortly to come. we'll have a look at your weather and traffic and 15 minutes of nonstop news right after this break.

now 15 minutes of continuous news, weather and traffic on "today in the bay." >> it is 6:44 right now on your thursday. happening right now a ucfs doctor just arrived at sfo where in about an hour and a half he'll board a plane, heading to a company most people have been told to explicitly avoid. sam redell joining us now. >> reporter: in about an hour and a half he'll be going to

brussels and finally liberia where dr. lay will insert himself into one of the ebola hot zones. he'll work to help those people with the deadly disease. doctor, you have a young daughter. why take this trip? >> it's part of my training and one of the things i have worked hard to do overs last ten years. it's a matter of social justice. there's a huge injustice that's happening over there in west africa and people like me, doctors who are committed to improving health care in poor settings, that's what we're trained to do. it's kind of like being a firefighter and seeing a huge unckocontained fire and helpingt on the front lines. >> we've seen you pack bringing face masks, shields, cover-alls. of course there's still a risk you can contract this.

are you concerned? how concerned are you? >> i have a healthy dose of anxiety about contracting ebola of course, but i also know that there are things i can do to really reduces risk to as close to zero as possible. there's never a zero risk. but with the proper training i received and the equipment i have brought with me, i think i'm pretty prepared to reduce that risk. and ebola while it's deadly, it doesn't kill people unless you don't get any health care. as you've seen in the u.s., every single person in the u.s. who has had ebola has survived, except for the one who wasn't diagnosed early. and so ebola, while there is no absolute cure for it with supportive care and technology that we have in the u.s., we can save people. >> doctor, stay safe and i

admire your courage. >> thank you very much. >> and dr. lay says if need be when he does return, he will quarantine himself for 21 days. his hope is to be back in time to spend christmas with his wife and his daughter. >> thank you very much, bob. for the first time the dallas nurse who got on an airplane and flew across the country is telling her story. she flew to visit her fiancee in ohio. she respond to critics today who say she was careless. hear her full story at 7:00 this morning. >> and it's time to take a look outside this morning overlooking san jose. see some nice sunrises, appreciating them. kind of cool start to our morning, christina. >> yeah, we're going to see a gorgeous day, though. as we get closer to the weekend,

there's a lot going on around here and the weather is going to maintain. we're talking about beautiful conditions, not just today. for your friday, which is tomorrow, that's the good news and saturday and sunday, holding on to gorgeous levels. and then the changes come your way as we head throughout monday, tuesday, wednesday, even thursday of next week. temperatures dropping and we bring on the much-needed rainfall that's in the forecast. so enjoy this weekend as it will stay dry. temperatures mostly in the 40s and 50s to kick off the day. we're at 49 in livermore, 57 degrees. that's comfortable in san francisco. and part of the reason why is because of the clouds that we have trapping in some of the warmth from yesterday serving as a blanket over the gorgeous bay area that we get to call home. conditions are going to be nice this weekend for any sort of the outdoor plans. even your beaches are going to be comfortable. you'll be at 72 degrees on the peninsula. wine country looking spectacular. 77 degrees later on today, out

on the east shore, temperatures ending up in the low 70s as well. so you know what, if you have a request, if you have an event that maybe youin want to forecast for, just go ahead and ask me on my facebook page. i love bringing the whole community together, letting you all know about what's going on this weekend. let's talk about what's happening on sunday in in san francisco, the 2014 veterans parade will be a big celebration out there. 2:00, 73 degrees. a lot of people are going to be off on monday, even tuesday for the holiday. keep that in mind. conditions are going to be nice all the way through monday. then we bring on those changes. let's talk about that and our next rain event. we stop the clock for you on tuesday of next week at 9:00 a.m., showers starting to push into the north bay. that will continue all the way through your wednesday, even getting showers on thursday. so really talking about a whole new pattern as we get into next week. but we need the rain so this is really a blessing.

mike? >> that's the mantra, "we need the rain, we need the rain." look at this, a little break for west 580. look at the bigger shot for our maps and the speed sensors. that's the period where we get a little bit of a break. we typically see this compression start. you might want to makt longer drive over toward the dublin interchange. a nice, easy drive for the wear of 680, 24 but there's your build over there through concord and pleasant hill. the worst of it, 24 west bond over the westbound 580 where the compression happens over toward the maze. but the maze does move smoothly. slowing over there on the east bay for hayward. over toward the san mateo bridge and to the san mateo side.

there may be a little fog there, especially as we move up toward daily city and pacifica. the orange and red, really starting to see that build for volume. we talked about highway one and look at palo alto, the opposite problem is going on. we saw a little slowing just as the sun peaked -- peeked out. because of the time change, the sunrise happening earlier. >> thanks so much. commuters could find relief on a stretch of the highway known for some of the nastiest traffic jams. kris sanchez joins us this morning. there is a chance to build some toll lanes north on 85. >> reporter: well, they say

diamonds are a girl's best friend or a guy's best friend. the vta will decide whether to move forward with diamond lanes for pay from san jose to mountain view. it would turn the 27 miles of existing hov lanes to express lanes. and they are considering adding a second car pool lane between 280 and 87. car poolers could use all of this for free. but solo drivers could also use any of the car pooling, too. they would just have to pay a toll and that would be determined by the volume of traffic. that revenue would be reinvested in the. >> if the board goes forward, final design could come later this year and then finally the

express lanes, the diamond lanes could be opened for business come the middle of 2017. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> a lot of drivers right now could use that relief. >> an alameda man facing murder charges for what he describes as his wife's mercy killing. he told authorities he and his wife made a pact that when she couldn't handle the pain anymore, he would killer. one neighbor said she had dementia. >> this is strictly might have been last best thing that he could do for her or get or whatever. i don't know if there were -- they talked about it and made a pact of some kind. >> regardless of the intentions at play here, canfield is expected to answer to murder

charges in court next week. >> this controversial killing comes amid a national debate sparked by former bay area residents brittany mayor nard. m may. >> she said she didn't want to die but if she was going to, she wanted to do it on her own terms. >> the price of going to a u.c. could soon be going up, much to the chagrin of student and parents. nanette miranda is live at u.c. berkeley. this comes to a surprise to students who were promised a tuition freeze, right? >> reporter: yes. governor brown has already given the campus a 5% funding boost, plus another 4% increase in each of the next two budget years and all of that on the condition that tuition not be raised. so this certainly comes as a surprise. under u.c. president janet

napolitano's five consider-year plan, tuition now is just over $12,000 a year. next fall, it could be closer to $13,000 a year. look at 2019, $15,500 a year, far more expensive than when i went to cal. raising tuition would break an agreement uc has to freeze tuition in exchange for state funding over the next few years. he recently vetoed the $50 million lawmakers wanted to give u.c. for deferred maintenance. now this proposal really opens the door for criticism in previous discussions of tuition hikes, critics point out that u.c. continues to give pay raises to top executives while

continuing to take more from the students and families in the form of higher tuition. nanette miranda, "today in the bay." >> pushback sure to come. thank you. >> shopping for a new car? you may have to wait. tesla says it will delay the model x suv. >> investors don't care. >> we were talking about how tesla was really rallying investors on what was bad news. the x is not going to be ready when expected. here's a picture of it. and the model s, the one up see driving around all the time, well, they made fewer of those than they expected. nonetheless, tesla stock is up 3% this morning. let's go over to the nyse. some folks out of mnevro.

and this is a tequila flavored beer. >> drg merging of the worlds there, tequila and beer. not sure what we feel about that. 6:57 right now. >> which one is the chaser? let's look at the top stories. >> this doctor is preparing to board a plane to help stop the spread of liberia. >> bike safety wills front and center at a meeting in cupertino

last night. wong was in a bike lane when a truck hit him. the driver will not be charged. >> and sam liccardo is leading the mayoral race by a razor thin two-point margin. >> a lot of races are still so close. in the meantime, go outside and have a good time. >> okay. >> doctor's orders. okay then. tiburon shows you why sam wants you to go outside. it's so gorgeous and he knows rain is coming in and coming in heavily as we get into next week. ♪ he knows something you don't know ♪ when it comes to politics, sir, you must be pretty tired, pretty tired. >> a lot of folks are waiting to find out what the results are. >> so are we. >> what about the commute? >> oakland, developing a little

bit of a backup as you head into oakland downtown. here at high street not so bad. san mateo bridge off of 880, that's a slower drive. but moving on the flat section here, look at the map, overall picking up the volume on the east bay and peninsula moving. south bay your routes really kicked in. 101, 280, 85 and 87 now showing that orange. we don't like to see that because folks coming into our office are grumpy as they get into the studio. >> fun friday is almost here. i think dinner will be at my house if we use this next one. we've all ordered takeout food but what about hiring a take-home chef? >> a chef whips up a feast from 2 to 12 people.

this is all part of a new service from kitch-it. the cost is $39 a plate and when you're finished, the chef even cleanse up your dishes. >> sounds like dinner. maybe breakfast for you. we'll see you in half an hour. . >> buenos días, noticias de >> hello, everybody, welcome to thirsty thursday, november 6, and we have a great show for you, you loved in sex in the city and "white collar," so much fun, and hitting the plaza bright and early, a terrific makeover, that in a bit. >> today's a big day because it
