degrees and 56 degrees in the east bay, clear in the north bay and dropped back to 47 degrees but will rise up to 92 today and 67 degrees in the city while the east bay is up to 75 degrees, mid 80s for the peninsula and upper 80s for the south bay. we'll still have some upper 90s for the tri valley. we'll take a look ahead to the fourth of july weekend. coming up in a few minutes headed to mike, still tracking that truck in oakland. >> that's right, we got an update as well. we look at your map, the south bay has your typical slowing north 101 and a little blip for 87 north into downtown. there's your tri valley at hayward, we got something going on there, we'll check on 880 south of 238 but north of there, we had some slowing through san leandro around davis is where that box truck was blocking part of the slow lane. the update the medium rig truck got there, cleared it to the shoulder, still a distraction and build toward the coliseum and the bay bridge toll plaza with the metering lights. back to you. >> mike, thank you very much. there are new developments coming into our newsroom right

now out of turkey. the site of yet another deadly terror attack. during the last couple of hours authorities there raised the number killed at the airport in istanbul from 36 up to 41. while some flights have resumed it's still a very active crime scene. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez monitoring the information coming into our newsroom right now, and kris, while no one is claiming responsibility for the attacks, turkish officials are blaming isis. >> as you said, there hasn't been an official claim of responsibility, but turkish officials say this is the work of isis and u.s. officials agree with that sentiment. u.s. officials in turkey say this could be the beginning of a summer of attacks, though they emphasize there's no reason to believe that our airports here are a target. meanwhile at the airport in istanbul, police and emergency crews are still on scene as the airport reopens, 41 people were killed and now the number of people injured is at 239. the turkish prime minister says three suicide bombers arrived in a cab, witnesses reported

hearing gunfire first, and then while police took aim at some of those men, they detonated bombs. experts say it was a well coordinated attack, and it's worth noting, though, that the terrorists struck outside the security checkpoint, they were not inside the airport. at sfo we caught up with people who were traveling at the time or waiting for loved ones arriving from istanbul not knowing if the attack was really over and one passenger who watched the news coverage on the plane. >> i was like this has to be old. turns out it wasn't and i just completely froze. >> even though they were already over canada, i was still worried about if somebody's on the plane, that it's not over. >> u.s. agents inspect foreign airports regularly, sometimes undercover, they inspect the cargo, flight crews, ground crews, service techs checked under a terrorist watch list and undergo regular criminal background

checks if they are flying into the u.s. if. you have summer travel plans you might not see a change in security at u.s. airports because security is already high. sam and laura? >> people should be on alert, thank you very much, kris. visibly upset, students and parents packed the scotts valley high school board meeting last night. they're voicing concerns about a graphic and threatening letter written by a high school student. >> you can honestly look me in the eye and tell me none of that was real? >> the letter outlined plans to stab and rape 21 students and four teachers at scotts valley high school. it was handed to a girl during the last week of school. angry parents say the district did little to address the letter or the 15-year-old boy who allegedly wrote it. >> my wife and i attended a parent meeting last night, and at that meeting, we found out for the first time that our son was on the kill list. >> this is probably the most escalated type of threat i think that i'm aware of that we've

dealt with. >> no specific plans have been made to handle the situation. parents did receive a letter from the district implying it will take no further action. laura, a berkeley middle school on alert. police increased patrols at martin luther king jr. middle school after the principal received a threatening e-mail, talks about a teacher who took part in a violent protest in sacramento against a white nationalist group on sunday. ten people were injured in that event. the anonymous e-mail said if certain actions aren't taken against the teacher within a week, someone would come to the school and harm students. school is not currently in session, but there are two summer camps being moved to other locations as a precaution. it is 6:05. six people from the bay area including four children died yesterday in a crash on interstate 5, right at the grapevine. their mini van had been stopped in the right-hand lane after a minor accident. big rig then hit that mini van, sending it barreling down a ravine there. the two fathers inside got out

in time, they tried to save their wives and four children, but the car was on fire, and that's when highway patrol officers arrived. >> we got out to try to assist the two males trying to get the families out of the van, burns on their arms and that i wasn't able to really talk to them and gather information. >> they say it was hard to pull the two men off the two women and four children inside that car. they died in the fire. one of families is from daly city and the other from san francisco. >> just tragic. there is a 16-year-old, laura, who died and another girl seriously injured when the two were hit by a car in oakley. those girls were walking along east cypress road when they were struck yesterday afternoon. witnesses say the woman in the car was reportedly driving erratically. so police are investigating possible drunk or drugged driving. we're told the driver is cooperating. a developing story out of el dorado county this morning, a wildfire near forest hill and

the american river called the trail fire ripping through a remote area. crews, struggling to even get to those flames. about 100 homes are evacuated. so far, 300 acres are scorched but it is zero percent contained. some folks are worried that arson might be what's behind this recent rash of fires in san francisco's mission and vernal heights neighborhoods. david campos says the fires could have been deliberately set and holding a public hearing on the issue this morning at 10:00 at city hall.

it myself, sam and laura. two negatives the app is hard to navigate it's clunky and expensive, $20 flat fee plus mileage. the advantage to that over a cab or uber is that hop, skip drive does pay a lot of attention to the background of its drivers. >> interesting. >> some extra safety measure there is. thank you very much, scott. not in this neighborhood, that is what some of mark zuckerberg's neighbors are saying about a rock wall that the facebook ceo is building on his hawaiian property. >> the home is on the north shore of kauai and neighbors say the rock wall will look daunting and forbidding, not very hawaiian at all. they hope at the very least zuckerberg will change the look of the wall. others say it's oppressive and it blocks breezes. >> not on my beach, trouble in paradise. a paradise in places in the bay area today. others a little hotter. kari hall joining us with a look at weather. >> just like the past few days

it all depends on where you are. it's now 61 degrees in concord, and 48 degrees in santa rosa. san jose at 57 degrees. as we start out with this spread, we have some coastal clouds and some inland sun. it clears out today with a high of 97 in livermore and san jose up to 86 degrees. oakland 75, and santa rosa up to 90 degrees. we do still have this high pressure just to the east of us, but there's just enough of an onshore flow to keep it cool and foggy along the coastline. and then you go to spots like walnut creek, it will be up to the mid-90s today, and then we'll have the same thing again tomorrow as well as friday, but there will be a slow breakdown and a little bit of some cooler air moving again, so as we head across the bay, for the battle of the bay series round three, oakland a's won the first two games. see if they can do it at home, first pitch 72 degrees. looking ahead to this weekend it

"today in the bay's" kris sanchez is gathering information and will join us for a live report in just about 15 minutes. berkeley police are stepping up apatrols at a local middle school after the school received an e-mail from someone threatening to harm the students. >> "today in the bay's" rob redell live at martin luther king jr. middle school. school isn't in session but summer camps are there. >> reporter: they have we to who move them as a result. berkeley police -- good morning to you, laura and sam. the plin palate martin luther king jr. middle school received an anonymous e-mail demanding one of their teachers be fired for her participation in this weekend's sacramento pro test against a white nationalist group.

the teacher is yvette felarka, in an interview after the protest turned violent with ten people getting hurt. if velarka, also an activist isn't let go within a week whoever sent the e-mail is threatening to hurt students who attend the school. according to berkeley police the fbi considers this to be a low-level threat, but police tell us that they are taking this threat seriously. the department has since assigned an officer to the campus, has increased patrols around the school and has moved the two summer schools to other locations. i'm talking about the summer camps i should have said. school is out for summer as you're well aware. members of the community use the campus for tennis and swimming which is again why berkeley police want to have a presence here considering this threat that was e-mailed in to the school. reporting live here in berkeley, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> bob, thank you very much. to actual violence on campus, the search right now on for a gunman who opened fire right by san jose state, killing one man and injuring another.

this marks the second deadly shooting in less than 24 hours. happened yesterday afternoon on 11th and san carlos, two blocks from campus. witnesses say they saw someone fire several shots inside of a mini van before driving off in his own car. neighbors tell us there are several families with children living in that area. >> it is scary because i was just out here about five minutes before that happened with my daughter, and she was riding her bike, and you know, i'm on my cell phone, so it is kind of scary, it's very close to home. >> now for some context on what's happening in san jose, there are 24 homicides reported in the city this year. as we told you earlier this week a man was found shot to death in his car in the bar ri esa neighborhood. this time last year, the city had ten homicides. >> 6:34. a follow-up to last month's murder outslide a san leandro senior center. formal charges could be filed against two gang members accused in the killing. three men shot and killed a man outside a family celebration at

backlash after several deadly officer involved shootings. previously training was centered around when to shoot but now the focus is to step back and try to negotiate with suspects. trainers say the veteran officers may have a harder time with the new policy. >> it's really difficult to erase 25, 30 years of training, but the only way to do it is to implement new training and keep that training up and hit it. >> police officers go through hours of training every six months. the police commission and the officers union are also working on a new use of force policy. >> 6:36 right now. the controversial sentencing of aa stanford swimmer in a sexual assault case could change state law. district attorney jeff rosen yesterday told a state senate committee that convicted student brock turner had not been eligible for mandatory jail time because the victim was unconscious. current law does not mandate a prison sentence when a rape victim is unconscious. members of the senate committee were shocked by that and voted in favor of a bill which would

carry an automatic sentence of prison whether the victim is conscious or not. taking action far away from national grounds, today is the national day of action on gun violence prevention and nancy pelosi is taking action staging another sit-time this time at san francisco general hospital. that sit-in is not just to end gun violence but also to end hatred, she says. today's action comes after democrats staged a 25-hour-long sit-in on the house floor last week demanding a vote on gun control legislation. republicans who called this maneuver a stunt were successfully able to block any legislation from moving forward. today's sit-in at general hospital begins at 1:00. the city of san francisco continues to try to improve new options for the homeless. new facility opened yesterday to assist homeless in transitioning into permanent housing. ever since last year the city has been on a mission to open so-called navigate centers, located south of market on 12th
