we support one another. and we're looking for your support, as well. >> the crowd responded to the heartfelt plea of support. he's a great guy and we really wish him well. let's check your weather and traffic. let's start with the heat. >> going to be hot again today. i know, you probably just want to roll over and go back to bed. i wish we could do that, right? it is going to be hot as we go into the afternoon. but just a few degrees lower than yesterday. you'll notice the difference along the coast as low clouds and the fog return. but now we have clear skies as we take a live look now at the bay bridge and temperatures are in the mid-60s across most of the bay area. upper 60s, too. and the north bay is at 57 degrees. here's a look at those highs today reaching the mid-90s and into the afternoon it will be, once again, just as hot as yesterday. not of a wind either. so, poor air quality also a factor, once again. spare the air alert issued.

thats you want to car pool or use public transportation. and you may want to limit time outdoors. not much of wind to bring down the ozone levels and reduce gas emissions, if possible. this is what we're talking about when we look at the east bay and south bay, the red shows that the air quality is approaching unhealthy levels. once again, that spare the air alert hopefully will be the last day this week that we'll have to deal with that. our temperatures will go from the 60s as we start out in san jose going hour-by-hour. lunchtime 87 degrees and then we're back in the 90s for several hours during the afternoon. and today we'll also be hot in san francisco reaching 85 degrees but look at what happens as we go through the rest of the week. that onshore flow kicks in and much cooler temperatures and that flow will be strong enough for everyone to get a cool down. and we'll see it gradually starting to climb back up as we go through the week. so, going into the south bay. 95 today. 81 degrees tomorrow in san ho.

and then 78 degrees on wednesday. that's when we officially begin fall in the tri-valley up to 100 degrees today and then backing it down to 85 degrees tomorrow and through the rest of the workweek. so, if we can just make it through today, it is going to be much more comfortable through the rest of the workweek. let's see how things are moving on the roads now with mike. >> kari, looking over towards the tri-valley where we this deadly crash and folks coming out of danville and into san rafael. only one lane open for southbound 60 and this is a huge issue likely to be around until at least 7:00. no timelines from chp. this is just an estimate. this traffic will build off of o concord and down towards that same area that will continue to slow down. things over at the dublin interchange may stay lighter. typical time and the crash in san francisco, southbound, 101

at cesar chavez over here that has cleared some lanes andry. even in the south bay a live look at 101 northbound in san jose and your standard backup around 5:30. things are calming down a bit and kick in at 6:20. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. 5:5. some 100 dogs destined to die in south korea have been rescued and sent here to the bay area. the dogs are being raised by a meat farmer in korea. that's the humane society international stepped in. it brought the dogs and made the farmer agree to stop raising dogs and move into crop farming. dogs and puppies were flown to san francisco. >> this is absolutely a happy ending for all of them and our community to embrace these dogs and help them find a new life. >> the dogs have since been transferred to shelters across the state as they await adoption. coming up, the latest controversial comment in the race for the white house did not
