last report from cal fire has containment at 10% in the soberanes fire. that's partly because the fire is in rough terrain. a difficult area to get to. sometimes crews have to hike for three miles just to be able to get to the incident. cal fire says it worries fatigue might be a factor with some firefighters, especially with the heat. so they're keeping a close eye on the crew. total response was about 3,000 firefighters but 500 more arrived recently. many of them from the bay area and so far, 34 homes have been destroyed along with 10 out buildings like barns. those who did make it out say now they have to start from the ground up again. >> yeah, that was my home. that was my home. so i lost everything i own. >> these are like 300 foot flames. just absolutely -- i'm shaken. i'm still post-traumatic. say good-bye to my motorcycle and everything.

we've got a power alert as well. hot temperatures. >> hot temperatures. they're just saying limit the time that you're running the air conditioner between 5:00 in the afternoon. that's another thing to consider. maybe a good time to head out of the house and find somewhere cool to go while it is sizzling for inland areas. as we get a live look outside now over san jose, we start out with some breaks in the clouds. and also some temperatures have feel nice as you head out. once again we talked about that "spare the air" alert. and it will be most unhealthy in the east bay and south bay. once again, because of that wildfire smoke drifting in from the south. the peninsula and the north bay will be fairly good today. and we will have a light southerly wind coming in. and it's still traps a lot of that ozone and that smoke in the valleys today with the winds only coming in at about five to ten miles an hour. maybe a little bit more breezy for parts of the east bay and also for the hills. but expect the same thing again tomorrow as well as the weekend.

so right now as you head out the door it's 52 degrees in napa. 56 degrees in oakland. and 57 degrees in palo alto. and we will see the temperatures rising from the mid 60s in san jose at 8:00 in the morning to lunchtime temperatures at 87. as you get ready to head home it will be hot, up to 94 degrees. a look at all the microclimates in the highs to expect today. up to 89 degrees in redwood city. the castro will be at 77 degrees. and santa rosa, 95. oakland, 83. and dublin, up to 98 degrees today. still this hot, high pressure. very slow to move across the region. and into the weekend it will slowly start to move off to the east. allowing for some low pressure to move in to the pacific northwest but we will still be above average with 60s along the coast and some 90s inland. this is the way it shapes up for san francisco. over the next seven days, highs in the upper 70s. and it will be 70 degrees on saturday. still very nice there and

comfortable with some 60s next week. but we go from the triple digits today into the agent 80s and 90s for the next several days and this weekend still looks pretty hot. heading over to mike now. still with an update in oakland and alert for san jose. >> wee will take in a quick one for oakland. nimitz freeway reopened. cliff's notes version, hold on for a second. south bay, we had an earlier car fire. that cleared incident. on the shoulder. shell of a car. no one reported on the scene or involved there. here, earlier vegetation fire. this ended up affecting two of your lanes on westbound capitol expressway. westbound east capitol exfres way will restrict flow. a lot of residential area and that would affect you if you're taking 101 coming over toward 87. most folks don't do that but we wanted to report that to you as well. the rest of the south bay moving

smoothly. around the bay and, look how quickly this cleared up because traffic is light through oakland right now. the big jam we had from hegenberger up to 66, it's all clear now. all lanes cleared just about 15 minutes ago from the deadly crash northbound 880. 66 there was a pedestrian on the roadway. updates from pete suratos on the scene. traffic flows well. back to you. >> thanks, mike. coming up next, team russia heading to rio minus many athletes. what russian president vladimir putin is saying about the doping scheme that has shaken up what's left of russia's olympic team. russian olympians are heading to

the team is led by danville's own maggie stephan's who considered to be one of the not the best player in the world. they were thankful they could catch the action in person. >> rio spirit here in palo alto. and great that we were able to experience some of that here. a lot of us can't travel. this one an another little one down there will probably be cold so we can't get away at this time. but they've come out. >> team usa's first game in rio is on august 9th. that will be against spain. rchts don't forget nbc bay area is your home for rio games. jessica aguirre is headed to brazil. all of that starts next week. if you're a soccer fan in the bay area tonight is your night. >> the stars are out, my friends. the best of the best in the mls is going to show off their skills in the 2016 all stair game at the home of the
