north of big sur. 2,000 homes are threatened. the containment is still likely at least a week ago. to give you an idea, check out the time-lapse we put together showing the flames over the course of one day along one section of hillside. as families evacuate some pets are being left behind but specifically and specially trained workers are going behind the fire lines to rescue pore nan more than 30 animals. they are waiting at a shelter while the owners wait for word about their homes. the third "spare the air" day in a row. live look at our beautiful bay bridge now. it's hope that more people are carpooling or actually taking public transit. hot summer weather and smoke from the soberanes fire is making poor air quality. you can see it and smell it as you head out the door. kari hall tracking the conditions for us this morning. kari, more hot days ahead for us as well. >> yes, at least the next couple of days. and as you start out this

morning, it is much warmer than normal. look at san jose, at 65 degrees. livermore, 68 degrees. we do have some mid 50s along the coastline. the winds coming in from the south will bring in more of that smoke farther to the south of monterrey county. so it will be a very poor visibility as well as air quality. we will see the same thing again tomorrow. not much of a wind it picks up to 10 to 15 miles an hour. as we go through the day. and a look at those high temperatures this afternoon in santa rosa, up to 99 degrees. record heat expected in many spots. livermore up to 107 degrees in fairfield. the hottest at 111 degrees. we do have to suffer with this heat for a couple more days before it cools off. i'll talk more about that coming up in about ten my it's. let's head over to mike now with an update on 8980. >> that's right, kari. that's the big issue for the morning. the rest of the bay is light as you would expect at this time in the morning. there was a crash and scott mcgrew pointed this out to me. 87 and 280.

involving a dump truck to scott but no injuries reported and the traffic flowing well. this is right by downtown san jose. but the biggest issue over here is what kari mentioned, 880, slow down from marina boulevard and san leandro up to davis street where there is that crash that pete reported. hold on one second with this map because davis street, the off-ramp is closed because of this crash. deadly crash involving the big rig. marina boulevard would be the best option if you head over toward the b.a.r.t. station because it's just off of davis street. that will be an issue likely all morning long. perhaps into the evening if they have to do the repairs and clean-up. 98th avenue is an option as well if you have to get off just past that crash. pete on scene. there's the trailer that they have. pulled by the big rig and there is we'll run the big rig. the cab itself caught on fire. the person presumably drive that truck has sdid as a result of this crash and a fire investigation and you see traffic flowing by. three lanes are open. one lane is closed. again, that davis street off-ramp is closed. this is bogging down a short

portion of the nimitz but this is going to grow. north of there, the bay bridge moves very well. light traffic flow just starting to build a bit as you would expect. b back to you guys. >> thank you very much, mike. more work is being done in the east bay to make interstate 80 a smarter freeway. you heard a lo lot about that. that means more road closures in the short term. the ramp from westbound 80 to ashby avenue is going to close from 11:00 this morning to 1:00 in the afternoon. caltrans is adding metering lights and electronic overhead signs to control the traffic flow. speeds on a portion of 880 are going to be adjusted depending on the levels of con jest shges coming up, dnc continues. what's on the agenda for tonight. plus, the emotional moment with senator sanders that brought a crowd to its feet. first woman to ever represent a

factory to the public for the first time on tuesday. this is where the company will make the batteries for its model three. mixed news from apple, the company once again sold fewer iphones. the company made less money as well but, and this is key, more money than analysts expected. that should help the stock today. for what it's worth tim cook is about to mark five years as ceo of apple. that anniversary will come in august. during his rein apple hit a stock -- hit an all-time high. apple's cash on hand hit an all-time high and the company started paying a dividend. there are still challenges ahead. twitter turned in financials. largely miserable. but as we were saying tuesday, what really counts is growth. it was growth. 3 million people signed up for twitter in the past three months. not a lot by social media standards but it is grout. twitter may be as big and mature as it's ever going to be. another company hitting a mid-life crisis, gopro. reports profits this afternoon. we had a hard time finding nice things to say about that

company's future as well. let's not forget facebook. we're in the middle of profits reporting season. you can hear lots of data coming out of me. speaking of data, the fed ends a two-day interest rate meeting today. we don't expect anything there. we will be watching facebook numbers there. >> earnings report time. >> so far not very happy. >> okay. >> looking to turn things up. one story you've been following a lot, scott, the pokemon go game which seems to be popping up, the pokemons anyway, where they have no business being like in nuclear power plants in japan. operators there say that the monsters from the popular pokemon go game are starting to appear on their compounds. that includes the fukushima daichi plant. japan is working with the game maker to delete the monsters from dangerous locations. back to breaking news we're following this morning. big rig crashes on 880, drivers

actually killed. mike's got detail tons traffic backup. >> look at this video. this is from early this morning. just after 4:00 when this happened on 880 northbound. this fire resulting after a big rig crashed into the side of the road there. you see that crews are on scene quickly taking care of the fire. i want to point out this tanker. pete was on scene. he says this tanker was carrying mineral oil, not fuel oil. look at the damage from this crash. that person did not survive as a result of this crash. this investigation will continue. let me show you how it plays out from the traffic impact. the human impact is clear. we'll look at the maps and the slow down in san leandro. the rest of the bay is what you would expect. unusually heavy slow down. from washington avenue, best alternate to get out of the area and take it up to davis street perhaps. problems getting on at davis streets and looking at to avoidance of any backup along the area. now, we have the san leandro b.a.r.t. station here as well.

some folks using davis street would head there. again, you're going to have this jam southbound starting to slow down for the distraction as well because the crew is on scene. again, that investigation and the clean up over the hazmat situation will also continue likely for much of the morning. the slowdown add another 10 to 15 minutes and agony to your morning commute because we're all stressed about getting to work. 580 is a good option. bay bridge toll plaza, metering lights are on. no problems of the maze. san jose and get out of your shot here. northbound 101 jamming up a little extra because just north of this shot at oakland road, crash is blocking your slow lane. at least the skies are nice in the south bay and it's a little cooler than it's going to be later on. >> yeah. it starts out nice but then it does heat up very quickly as we go through the day. here's a live look outside. over san francisco from san bruno mountains. you can see the fog rolling across and a beautiful start to this day as sun rises. it's now 57 degrees there heading up to 78 degrees. and it will become mostly clear

with some mild temperatures today. the next few days it will be warm with some sunshine. some great beach weather. especially when you do have the 70s there along the coastline. but this weekend it turns cooler and breezy and the fog returns with those highs reaching into the mid 60s. and elsewhere we do have some poor air quality due to high ozone levels. and also that smoke drifting in from the wildfire near monterrey county or in monterrey county. and east bay it will be unhealthy as well as the south bay as that air moves in. so a "spare the air" alert has been issued. we'll be up to 102 degrees today in gilroy. and pacifica, 74 degrees and 78 degrees in the castro. up to 94 napa. 105 in walnut creek. and livermore today, a high of 107 degrees. so we are looking at the possibility of setting some new records. in concord today, the high we're expecting it to get up to 102 but the record is 99. you can look at what the today

forecast is. for napa, 94 once again. the record is 89 degrees. so some record-setting heat today. possibly again tomorrow as high pressure continues to bring in a more southerly wind and once again with that we have the poor air quality and the smoke drifting in. some changes ahead for the weekend. it won't be as hot with some 60s along the coast and some 80s inland. back to you, laura and sam. >> another warm one. thanks so much. from the heat to epic feat for one of the most decorated gymnasts of all time. the news, that changed shannon miller's life forever. and happening now, we're following breaking news in the east bay. a fiery fatal crash on 880 in san leandro, northbound lanes. we've got a crew on the scene collecting more information. mike inouye sending out twitter updates. also for realtime traffic information download our nbc bay area app. you can get information sent directly to your phone.
