you get to and from one of the bay area's busiest airports. and as we get a look from mt. hamilton, beautiful sunrise rg, a little patchy fog and it heats up this week, more on that coming up in the microclimate forecast. we have the build to your commute around the bay, reports of a car fire over near the tri-valley. we will wing you that coming up. a food tuesday morning. hugh for joining us, m sam brock. >> and i'm kris sanchez in for laura garcia-cannon. this morning we want to start you with some breaking news, a strong earthquake off the coast of japan. the preliminary 6.3 struck less than an hour ago, about 500 miles south of tokyo near the island of gasawara. right now no tsunami warnings are in effect and there are no reports of damage or injuries, but we will keep you posted. a developing story as the sun comes up we are getting our first look at the damage and

destruction left behind by severe storms overnight in the midwest. this is video showing what's left of cole city, 60 miles southwest of chicago. a tornado rips thousands of homes from their foundations. as a of now we know at least five people are injured, but searchers are going from house to house trying to account for everyone who lives there. a shelter is set up at a nearby high school. new video this morning of an overnight house fire that sent one person to the hospital with serious burns. this started a little after midnight in a garage on via vista east of broadway. firefighters say there were two people inside the home at the time, one of them suffered second and third-degree burns. the fire is still under investigation but crews on the scene believe it may have been started by a welding accident. happening right now, a suspicious death investigation underway in wine country. someone found a body inside of a sonoma home on pueblo avenue

"today in the bay" bob redell is live at san jose international airport airport. bob, this is an idea that is not sitting well with everyone, especially taxi drivers. we just saw that protest about the same issue in san francisco >> reporter: taxicab drivers here in the south bay, especially those serving the airport are not happy to say the least because they argue that if this proposal does go through they would be held to a higher standard even though they are providing the same service. they are recommending that the city of san jose allow ride sharing services like uber and lift to be able to pick up passengers at the airport. right now those companies drop off fathers but they can't do

pickup without a permit. the airport says it has made this recommendation in response to airline passengers who want to use this service because of its convenience, you can request a car via smartphone and also because of its costs, sometimes it's cheaper than a taxicab. the mayor and some of his colleagues on the council are suggesting a one-year trial run drivers to submit to fingerprinting, a background check and vehicle inspections, as well as fees. taxicab drivers are angry because the fees that they would be paying are higher, namely because they have to pay for a dispatch service at the airport that the ride sharing companies don't use and cabbies also must follow tougher regulations. sfo started to allow the ubers and lifts of the world last year amid protests from the taxicab drivers. san jose city council expected to vote on this here in the south bay tonight. reporting live here. bob redell, "today in the bay." students returning to west valley elementary school in sunnyvale in the fall will have

not only new classmates but they will have an entire new staff. all of the teachers are being reassigned to other schools and the reason is tension. that's all the staff and administrators are saying. the parents and students held a rally to support teachers last night. one teacher told us that she felt like she was blinded and didn't think that the tensions were bad enough to reassign everybody. >> it doesn't give any continuity to the children and we don't understand how this could possibly be in the best interests of the children. >> last week the teachers union and school district signed an agreement solidifying that reassignment. the district says they already hired a third of the school's new staff. new this morning, a woman almost hit by an incoming bart train after she fell on to the tracks in san francisco. this happening at the powell street station just before 10:00 last night. police say that that woman lost consciousness and fell town. luckily the incoming train was able to stop on its brakes before hitting her. she was eventually sent to the

they are only containing small amounts of this as we are able to pick up on the smoke by the radar we can see those splotches of green and we can tell that that wildfire is quite large and as we go into the rest of this week winds coming out of the southwest up to 30 miles an hour and temperatures will be heating up and unfortunately thunderstorms back in the forecast on friday in those areas. we'll continue to monitor that for you and keep you updated. today whether just beautiful. 77 degrees in los gatos today, san mateo 70 degrees, the marina 58 degrees. still in the 70s, even low 80s but it will be going way up as we go into the next couple of days. i think the let will be peaking on thursday. i will talk more about that in the next microclimate forecast. right now mike is tracking some slow downs if you have to cross the bay bridge. waste happening is the bay bridge. also what's happening is they're getting a little better lighting. we couldn't well make out these

cars, you can see the light now glits thing off the top of their roofs. fast track lanes do move well and the hov. the approach very easy, drama free build off of 580 westbound and 24. that's the biggest slow down for the whole approach. the northbound not a problem. the giants play tonight at at&t park. over here right now at we're getting to work we're watching west 580 just over the right shoulder reports of a car fire, maybe just a smoking vehicle there and nobody injured, no real slowing, either. the issue is the build for south 680 and south 880 that we typically see off of 580, a mild build. this is a tuesday, remember, this is very light for this time of morning. things will probably kick in closer to 7:00 as we have that summer time later build for the mornings typically. there's the south bay just a little build for north 101 and the peninsula moves smoothly. the live camera we have at 101 and 680, the second burst hasn't yet kicked had in, that should be another 20 minutes or so.

about 6:30 we will see that build coming through san jose. so far a great easy drive through the silicon valley. >> no drama on the roadways. one peninsula city hoping for a new colorful solution to curb its growing parking problem. "today in the bay" j. has been following this and is live in down down san mateo. we are talking green and orange zones. new color codes >> reporter: we're in downtown san mateo where if you've been here recently you know it's grown a lot with more shops and restaurants and that means more people who need parking. there are changes headed here. we are in the downtown core central area, this orange area where there are a lot of people could they are hoping that this will produce a higher turnover right. now, if you look at the video there's on street parking that reaches a high of 97% occupancy weeknights with many of the spaces taken by employees. so one goal is to cut down on that and open up spaces for

customers that helps the businesses as well as the people who are looking for spaces. now, the first thing to know is the time limit for street parking is going from four down to three hours. look at the orange area, the core or central part is designed for those running errands and for customers. that's going up from 50 cents to a dollar an hour. the green area, the perimeter, this grown is for people who work in the area who need to park all day, it's half the cost at 50 cents an hour. all levels except treat level have no time limit so you can park there all day long. parking is still free anytime after 6:00 and all day sunday. this all starts july 1st. now, coming up in our last report in half an hour what all this new money could go towards and what it could pay for coming here to the peninsula. stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." it is 6:10 now. up neck the surprising stat about rising rents here in the

bay area. just what you wanted to hear. plus, a fresh lead this morning, authorities could be zeroing in on those two killers who busted out of prison nearly three weeks ago. and it is a nice start to the day here in san jose and really all around the bay area, but you can expect warmer temperatures as we inch toward the weekend. we will have your forecast and your traffic and how that's shaping up for you in just a few.

good morning. we start out with mild temperatures today and tomorrow,

but check out this temperature trend for the tri-valley over the neck few days. i will have details on that coming up in about five minutes. at least the bar graph colors are pretty. kind of hazy but a smooth drive as well. past the coliseum some folks heading north toward the bay bridge with a backup. we will give you the rest of your speeds coming up. and a fresh lead this morning. authority in new york searching for those two escaped killers said they found the dna from both suspects inside a cabin. it is in the small town of owl's head. which is 20 miles from where those men escaped. the owner says he saw someone running out of it and called police right away. police say the suspects are still on the run likely together one of the bizarre side bars of the story, now the husband of the prison worker arrested for allegedly helping those men escape a telling his story this

morning on the "today" show. >> she said when she first started telling me that she did give them the hacksaw blade, the phillips bit and the chisel. she did. i said, well, how can it happen? she said -- i got in over my head and i was scared when they started asking me this stuff. so just -- and the next thing they asked me -- i asked her was -- she said i have something else to tell you. >> i said what's that? she said, their plan was they wanted to kill you. >> lyle mitchell says his wife told him the suspects were planning to kill him. his attorney says he still loves his wife but realizes he can't stand by her side any longer. and now to decision 2016. if next year's democratic

convention were held today hillary clinton would be the overwhelming presidential nominee. that's the take away were an nbc news poll, wall street journal poll conducted together. it finds clinton leading her nearest democratic competitor by a whopping 60 percentage points. 75% of democratic voters favor clinton, 15% like vermont senator bernie sanders. no someone else gets more than 4% support. ben bernanke says alexander hamilton should stay on the $10 bill. he says he supports putting a woman on u.s. currency but not at the expense of the nation's first treasury secretary. he calls hamilton one of the greatest economic thinkers of all time. instead bernanke says andrew jackson should be kicked off the $20 bill he says since is jackson opposed the creation of a central bank he probably wouldn't mind being dropped from that note anyway. >> ben bernanke holding a century old judge. three in ten americans have

no savings. that fact according to a survey just released. it marks the highest number since the site began tracking savings five years ago. the culprit, they're saying a lag in income growth. experts warn there can be serious implications to not saving money. in you this morning data shows rent prices are going up across the country. while you might think it is bad here in the bay area our rents are not the ones rising the fastest. the new report from zillow found rent prices climbed more than 4% nash fael over the last year. the cities with the highest gains are jackson, mississippi, where rent went up almost 23%. portland, maine came in second at more than 17%. san francisco, san jose and denver also saw double digit rate increases. i would argue that ours were higher to begin with than jackson and portland. >> jackson, mississippi, probably not shelling out as much money to live there.

>> still probably like 20% of our rent. a complete opposite side of the spectrum. how does this sound, the three bedroom fixer upper for free. >> it is a charmer 1930s oakland bungalow, one string attached, though, you have to move it. oakland's children hospital built its complex around that little house when the owner would not sell it and when he died in 2002 the hospital bought the home and used it for staff offices, but now the house is in the way of a proposed outpatient center. the hospital says it will even provide $20,000 toward helping with moving costs. >> luckily we all ate our wheaties in morning. 6:18. a live look outside. there is a golden gate bridge and the sunrise in the background and not too much cloud cover for a change. >> you can see it this morning. >> we can actually enjoy the views in the area. good morning, kari. >> we start out with sunshine across most of the bay today.

weather just beautiful again kind of like yesterday but we don't see as many low clouds as we did. that shows you that this weather pattern is starting to change and the heat will be ramping up as we go through the week. i think by thursday we won't see any clouds at all to start out the day and it will be turning he have hot, but right now as we get a look at san jose you can see the sunrise and just the thin haze overhead. as we go into the temperatures as we look at what you're feeling as you walk out the door now it's 54 degrees in san francisco and the peninsula at 57 degrees. today's highs reaching into the 60s and 70s, even a few low 80s across our area. in the east bay 67 degrees, the tri-valley reaching 86 degrees and the tri-valley also where we will see those temperatures really going up over the next couple of days and could be hitting triple digits. we will be hitting some home runs today at at&t park hopefully for the giants. first pitch at 59 degrees with mostly sunny skies, beautiful sunset, you will be able to

watch it from the park with the light westerly wind at 5 to 10 miles an hour. by the end of the game we are at 58 degrees. so we do still have an on-shore flow giving us the low clouds and the fog during the mornings but i think at that on-shore flow will get much weaker as high pressure builds and temperatures start to soar by the end of the week. by thursday that's when the heat will be peaking and that heat starts to creep in from the west. we could be seeing over 100 degrees in parts of the central valley, making it into the tri-valley, 90s, even san francisco and the coast will be in the 70s and 80s and then the heat starts to back off for the end of the week into the weekend. as you start to make the plans keep in mind thursday and friday very hot. then it looks a little better on saturday and sunday, the south bay in the lower 80s by sunday in san francisco, about 66 degrees for both saturday and sunday. i will have another look at the microclimate forecast. right now let's see how traffic is flowing with mike we're going to start in fremont with just, you know,

nothing special going on, just the commute -- fremont is very special, we're looking at southbound 880, a little jack jam, but no incidents. that same area shows close to the same slowing, northbound 87 shows a little bit, subtle. we are expecting more traffic below. no problems here for the tri-valley. build for south 680. that car fire looks like it should be clear from the reports west 580. no injuries, slowing or lanes blocked. a little build for 880 through hayward. easier drive as we're talking about. easy build over towards the bay bridge toll plaza. a little slowing down the east show shore and at the bay bridge toll plaza itself. the north bay, the east bay across the benicia bridges. a smooth below. palo alto this slow down should start to form in a bit, southbound 101 just past university near embarcadero. there is that bridge project

that continues for weeks on end. i should have a more specific update and maybe a timeline as i'm talking to the project lead there. it is 6:22 right now. and, sam, are your skinny jeans bad for your health? >> i knew i was getting them one size too small. >> some doctors say it could send you to the hospital. that story plus legos going green, why the iconic plastic building block could soon be just a childhood memory.

today just gorgeous all across the bay. look at these temperatures now as you walk out the door, it's in the 50s, 58 degrees for the east bay and san francisco now at 58 degrees. now, as we head into the afternoon it will start to get a little warmer, but not too bad today, south bay 77 degrees and a lot of sunshine for the east way peninsula and san francisco, 62 degrees there. into the next couple of days that's what we've been talking about, the heat building. we still do have enough of an on-shore flow to keep it nice and cool, bringing in that ocean air, but as high pressure builds just to the north of us temperatures will be soaring, it will push the winds in from the east and causes that heat to who will rol in from the east as well. that's where our temperatures will be reaching near 100 degrees from the central valley into the tri-valley, 90s for a good part of our area for the east bay and the 70s and 80s even into san francisco once again that's thursday. i will talk more about that and what to expect for the weekend

we start right now with breaking news. a strong earthquake off the coast of japan, the preliminary 6.3 quake struck less than an hour ago, about 500 miles south of tokyo. that is near the island of

ogasawara. right now no tsunami warnings are in effect and there are no reports of damage or injuries. a developing story as the sun comes up, we are getting our first look at the damage and dale earnhart, sr. ruk left behind by severe storms overnight in the midwest. this video shows what's left of cole city which is 60 miles southwest of chicago. a tornado ripped dozens of homes from their foundations, you can see ripped rooftops right off as well. the debris is scattered for miles. now, as of now we know at least five people are hurt but searchers are going home to home trying to account for everyone who lives there. a shelter is set up at a nearby high school new video of massive flames tearing through parts of a house in vallejo. that fire started after midnight in the garage on valley vista. east of broadway. firefighters say there were two people inside the home, one of them suffered second and third-degree burns and is recovering in the hospital. that fire still under

investigation, but crews on the scene believe it may have been caused by a welding accident of some sort. from a house fire to wildfire and that story developing in the sierra where firefighters bracing for more tough conditions today as they try to get a wildfire under control near lake tahoe. flames burned near 15,000 acres and the fire is 10% contained. it this is happening 90 miles south of the lake near markleeville. high winds have made firefighters difficult and there is more wind in the forecast today. lightning sparked that fire on friday night. time to take a look outside in san francisco at your microclimate forecast. a look right light there, we know the winds are picking up speed out near tahoe, what with in the bay area back home? let's check in with meteorologist kari hall right now. >> we don't have the low clouds and fog, though, like we normally see and i think that will be something that will go -- be less and less as we go through the week. we won't see as many clouds

sharing drivers to submit to fingerprinting, background check, vehicle inn peks and fees. taxicab drivers are angry because the fees they pay are higher namely for dispatch service at the airport and cabbies must also face tougher regulations. >> why is it they don't have to pay all the regulations like we have to do? i don't understand. okay? i don't understand why they're bringing them out here. we've been here for, you know, 15, 20 years and we've been doing a good job on it >> uber offers more service, better drivers, more -- better i think. >> tuning it's fair that taxicabs have to pay who are and have to face tougher regulations? do you think that's fair? >> taxicab they pay more? >> they would at the airport, yes. >> i think everyone -- everybody should be equal. >> reporter: the ubers and lifts of the world last year amid

saying there is no basis for this complaint. our new privacy statements are simpler to read and set out the data we collect as well as how we use it. uber says users can always opt out. the policy is scheduled to go into effect next month. when you are in your own car and trying to find a parking spot it's not always easy out there in the bay area. one peninsula city is hoping that a colorful idea is going to help curb its growing parking problem. >> "today in the bay" stephanie chuang live in downtown san mateo. steph, we're talking green and orange zones. tell us where to park. >> reporter: exactly. here in central downtown san mateo 97% of these parking spaces are taken up during the early evenings. a lot of times by employees here. the idea is to free up these spots. now, there are nearly 3,000 public parking pots around downtown san mateo, the city found that parking revenues have gone up 20% since 2010 to $2 million and that pays for all

the services and operations, but the city also found it needs for public parking spaces up to 400 more during the next ten years. money could pay for more parking lots and garages. take a look at the map. the first thing to know is the time limit for street parking everywhere in downtown is going down from four to three hours. now, the orange area is the core or central, it's designed for those who are running errands and customers. that goes up from 50 cents to a dollar an hour. the green area, the perimeter, this is for people who work in the area who need to park all day. it's half the cost at 50 cents an hour and the parking garages all levels except street parking have no time limit so you can park there all day long. parking is also still free after 6:00 and all day sunday. so back here live you can see the sign. it begins july 1st. that's when it takes effect. really the city has done a lot to make sure that you can't miss it. there are signs practically everywhere. july 1st. take note. live in san mateo, stephanie
