her bulldozer overturned while trying to clear open space. soberanes fire is still only 10% contained. damian trujillo is there live coming up in the next hour. in southern california a large section of the angeles national forest is now off limits. the closure was ordered down late yesterday from the sand fire burning about 30 miles north of l.a. there is good news here. firefighters are making some progress. the fire is now 40% contained. more than 38,000 acres have burned. sadly, one man died when the fire reportedly caught up to him as he tried to evacuate. concord police are investigating a death after a man's body was found on the side of a busy road. the discovery was made around noon yesterday. police say there were no signs of trauma on the victim. he was found on the side of willow pass road a few blocks from monte garden elementary school.

police say the victim is a man in his late 20s. no word yet on the cause of his death. laura, there are growing concerns this morning on a bay area college campus normally a quiet summer session at the university of san francisco is interrupted with campus crime. campus police e-mailed the bulletin out to students warning about what they're calling a random attack at the university center monday morning. police say a man acted as a lookout while a woman attacked two students as they were studying. punching them in the face and taking their belongings. >> this is normally a very safe atmosphere for the students, whether they're studying or socializing. so again, a very random act. >> campus police say the thieves also stole a laptop from another building before those assaults. san francisco police officers are reviewing video evidence hoping to identify the man and the woman. it is 6:08. if you're a soccer fan here in the bay area tonight is your night. >> the best of the best are going to be on display in the mls. they're showing off their skills

tonight in the 2016 all-star game at the home of the earthqua earthquakes. goalkeeper david bingham is representing the bay area. the team is taking on the arsenal english premier league. that match starts at 5:00 tonight so if you're planning to go to the game or you're driving anywhere near the stadium, especially on coleman avenue, allow yourself extra time because traffic is going to get very heavy. and here's something you don't see every day. no players in the outfield at at&t park but dozens of tents popping up right in the middle of the field. it's a live look at the giants annual slumber party. fans have been camped out there since yesterday. they will enjoy breakfast in just a bit. giants host the washington nationals later tonight. it's also law enforcement appreciation night. clean up all of those tents. >> they do have a clean up the field, the wet grass underneath you when you walk up in the morning. neat experience. >> there you go. and a nice start to our day in the city by the bay. a cool start. inland though today, another hot

one, kari. >> yeah, the best place to be will be along the coastline. and in the peninsula today. it is now 54 degrees in san francisco. 56 in oakland. and 59 degrees in concord. livermore already at 65 degrees. so tsd feit is feeling warmer t. the temperatures will be hitting the triple digits ban today. fairfield, 106. san jose, 95 degrees. while palo alto is at 90. 95 in santa rosa. so another sizzling day. i'll let you know how long this lasts as we go into the weekend. that's coming up in less than ten minutes. heading of ever to mike, he has another update for tri-valley drivers. >> you call it what it is, a correction. reread the report and they have it northbound. not southbound 680. so we'll show this traffic flow around the bay. and we'll zoom in for better news for the commute for most through pleasanton. this is what we would call counter commute because most of the traffic is southbound slowing from 580 shy of sunol boulevard off-ramp. northbound 680 where that single

car spinout, with three vehicles on the shoulder who stopped to help. one car with possibly some gas leaks and that's the concern from chp. i'll let you know if they have to block any lane os nir crews have to arrive. over here, southbound 880 getting down toward 237. reports by chp, someone called in saying between dickson landing road and tas man road, dropped a box off their truck. there may be a traffic break. traffic smooth right now. the rest of the south bay flows smoothly but i have a note you guys talked about that earlier fire near los lagos, i'll talk about the traffic impact of crews coming up. >> we look forward to it. thanks, mike, up next on "today in the bay," unusual and expensive crime spree sweeping across the bay area has some business owners keeping a closer eye on their equipment. heavy duty items thieves are making off with and who police think is responsible. facebook may be the most important company in silicon valley. just tripled revenue. we'll take a look coming up in

business and tech.

welcome back. thieves are striking construction sites in the bay area and now a regional auto theft task force is searching for at least one person who is stole huge piece of machinery. that task force tracked down some of the stolen equipment including four bobcats at a lot in fremont and a property in morgan hill. officials also found large stolen trailers and confiscated several firearms on the fremont

property. business owners say they are stunned. >> very strange nowadays to steal this kind of equipment. i'm glad they didn't hit me. i have a lot of expensive equipment in my shop. >> the sheriff's office released this picture of the man they say is the main suspect they're looking for. he's identified as 38-year-old vincent hodge. it's a prior mug shot. at this point investigators are not releasing what construction sites were targeted. well, it's looking like the most important fastest growing company in silicon company isn't apple or google. >> no, it's facebook. scott mcgrew, they had a huge day yesterday. >> yes, sure, apple is worth more, sam. google has more employees. but it is facebook everything is talking about. the company absolutely knocking it out of the park with earnings. they hit a triple. earnings tripled from a year ago this time. 1 3/4 billion people using facebook. the company made 2 billion in profit in the last quarter. not revenue, profit. that works it to $33 million a day in profits for facebook.

other news, we got word oracle is baying san mateo based net suite for $9 billion. they make software for businesses they can access anywhere. we call that software as a service. it's an interesting payoff for oracle founder larry ellison who invested in it very early. let me point out this is a win for him on both sides of that deal. stocks were largely flat wednesday. the fed did as we said it would, did not raise interest rates. facebook is the stock to watch. the dow fell for the third straight day yesterday. silicon valley and the computer industry in particular dismayed by donald trump's request that the russians hack hillary clinton. we played that sound bite for you earlier where he says russia, if you're listening, "the new york times" points out it is the first time in american history a candidate for president has asked a foreign government to interfere with his own political rival. that has led people to ask on

twitter, russia, if you're listening, can you hook me up with some hamilton tickets? and, russia, if you're listening, i'd like a chip pot lay burrito. no beans. extra peppers and onions. and thank you for making tetris. >> they made it? >> one guy out of russia. no, if you're listening -- >> russia, the can you hear me? >> trending now, russian requests. thank you very much. russia has been in the news a lot recently. here's another reason. russian olympians are heading of tout rio. athletes gathering at the moscow airport. the kremlin held a sendoff ceremony for the athletes yesterday. the team is considerably smaller than what they were originally expecting. more than 100 russians from the 387 person strong team has been banned for a massive state-sponsored doping scheme. russian president vladimir putin calls the banned athletes victim os of a campaign to present russian sports in a bad light.

6:17. this for the u.s. women's water polo team heads to rio and one final tune-up before a electrified crowd at stanford last night. they hosted russia last night in front of a sellout crowd. team usa took it 16-7. four years ago the americans won gold and they're favored again. the team is led by danville's own maggie stephan considered to be one if not the best player in the world. fans say since many of them can't go to rio they're very thankful they could still catch some of the action in person. >> great. great to have the rio spirit here in palo alto and that it that we're able to experience some of that here. a lot of us can't travel down. this one and another little one down there, it will probably be cold, so we can't get away at this time. but they come out. >> palo alto a little easier road trip than all of the way to rio. team usa's first game in rio is coming up on august 9th against

spain. of course, don't forget you don't have to travel all of the way there. we sent jessica aguirre to do the heavy lifting for us. checking in live with her from brazil with reports starting next week. you have to imagine the pool is going to be a very popular place to go this week. >> most certainly. it has been, if you don't have one, somewhere cool is a great idea. these hot temperatures continue. >> yeah. and it's been really rough this week. it looks like this weather continues though as the stagnant weather pattern just kind of hangs around for the next several days. as we get a live look outside now, in san jose, we will start out with mostly clear sky. and the smoke once again an issue as you've seen the haze. and right now it's 61 degrees, heading up to 95. so, yes, another day with some poor air quality and hot temperatures well above average. it will be only a few degrees lower this weekend and much cooler near the coast. so if you're making plans make sure you head somewhere cooler. maybe to the beach. and next week we will still have

some 90s inland while it will be in the 60s in san francisco. so looking at the "spare the air" alert, once again today, what this means is that you should probably catch public transportation if you can or carpool as it will reduce some of the ozone levels, especially in the south bay and the east bay. and we also have the smoke mixing in from that wildfire that is in monterrey county and the winds moving from south to knot will bring that right into the south bay and the east bay. and our winds won't be that strong so it will be trapped as the air is sinking due to high pressure. tomorrow we will have more of an onshore flow and maybe slightly better air quality. hopefully it continues to improve as we go into the weekend. it will be up to 98 degrees today in los gatos. 89 in redwood city and castro looking at a high of 77 degrees. 95 in santa rosa. oak oakland, 83. 102 today in livermore.

later on this evening nice weather for the giants game at at&t park at 7:15. at first pitch right at 70 degrees and dropping back to 67. a few clouds moving in later on this evening. once again, high pressure has kept it hot and also just pretty much the same weather pattern throughout the entire week. but this will slowly move off to the east allowing for an ore of low pressure to move into the pacific northwest. it will still be above normal with 60s along the coast and 90s inland. and we will see the 60s by sunday in san francisco. meantime for the next three days, we're still in the low 70s. 100 degrees in the inland areas today. and in the 90s into the weekend. it just comes down slightly and we'll continue to see that trend into the start of next week. now as we head over to mike, another update on what's happening as some of those slow spots on the roadways. >> we're seeing more of those because the traffic build is typical schedule. we'll look to the south bay and also to hayward and the tri-valley. we talked about the slower

trends. we're going to zoom in towards san jose. you guys mentioned, laura and sam, the fire over at los lagos, the vegetation fire. two lanes westbound east capitol expressway is blocked by the crews. that will restrict the traffic flow. heading away from 101 and santa rosa or highway 87, that's not typically the direction of the traffic flow out of residential area but that will restrict east capitol expressway or westbound direction. that's confusinconfusing. going that way on capitol expressway. the rest of the south bay and rest of the bay moves well. bay bridge toll plaza, metering lights are on. let me show you the san mateo first moving well across that flat section. and we'll show you that bay bridge toll plaza where we talked about and as you would expect, all lanes backed up. the left approach still just about mid parking lot and no problems for the east shore freeway. back to you. >> thanks, mike. all right, at 6:22, a lot of people hoping for the lucky number. powerball jackpot keeps on

growing and growing. we'll tell you how big saturday's prize could get, next. a new tv goes bad just as the warranty is about to expire. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura.

this morning nbc bay area responds to a south bay woman whose new tv went bad. >> consumer investigator kris chur chmura explains the problem and

the solution. >> it's all about timing. nancy from milpitas said her new tv started giving her trouble just before costco's two-year warranty ran out. she said she called for service but wasn't getting anywhere. in the middle of trying, the warranty expired. so she contacted us. costco quickly agreed to a full refu refund. she received $689 to buy a new tv. cost coup said we do what is right by our member and considering the time of year and that she may have been calling the wrong number during the holidays we're giving her the benefit of the doubt. she was only a few weeks past the two-year mark when she made contact. if you have a consumer complaint let us know about it. call 888-996-tips or upload your story to nbcbayarea.com/responds. tomorrow at 6:20 totally up the money we've saved you since nbc bay area responds debuted. have a great day. >> thanks a lot, chris. putting more cash in the pot, the powerball jackpot is inching closer and closer to a

half billion dallas. >> last night no one matched all six numbers including the powerba powerball. you seal them there on your screen. 10, 47, 50, 65, 68, powerball number of 24. this means saturday night's jackpot is an estimated $478 million. >> a lot of money. coming up next on "today in the bay," a cold case, a new picture authorities help could help crack a decade's old murder investigation. plus -- >> with construction going on behind me, they're changing the stage for tonight. and trying to change opinions to get more democrats supporting hillary clinton. i'm tracie pots. coming up tonight the her big nights p. wrapping up the dnc. can she bring it home? we'll talk about that next. firefighters preparing to hit the front lines in the massive soberanes fire. i'm at base camp. a live update is coming up next.

a very good thursday morning to you. sthanks so much for joining us. it's 6:30. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm sam brock. on a hot summer day we are redefining the term cooldown. kari hall is join us with a look at what's in store. >> good morning. yes, we've been talking about just the slight cooldown in time for the weekend but it has been hot all week long. we start out now in the tri-valley already at 65 degrees. it's 54 degrees in san francisco. and the north bay at 50 degrees. a few low clouds heading up to

95 degrees today. 90 in the peninsula. 95 also in the south bay. 102 in the tri-valley while san francisco stays at a nice and pleasant 77 degrees. we'll talk about what to expect this weekend and the air quality for today. that's coming up. mike has more unusual info for the tri-valley. >> this continues to einvolve and not your normal reports through the area. we show you a normal flow of traffic and stand by for the south bay. in the tri-valley northbound 680. earlier one vehicle involved in a crash. now, no, all four, four vehicle on the shoulder. we all have flat tires and one of those vehicles has punctured fuel tank y. there may be one lane blocked soon. the slowdown southbound also slows down and eases up after that distraction in the southbound direction. northbound 101 we had an earlier crash at 880. right around oakland road. shy of 880. that crash has one of the veeks involved sticking around the scene. maybe i do need to add this just

to help check me out. that's an added distraction as they block the slow lane. back to you. >> thank you, mike. 6:31. moving on to decision 2016 and the dnc spotlight will shine brightly tonight on, of course, hillary clinton. she will officially accept the democratic presidential nomination becoming the first woman to do so for a major political party. >> "today in the bay's" tracie potts is joining us live from philadelphia. last night president obama talked up the credentials of former secretary of state and he really set the stage for tonight. >> reporter: well, they certainly did, sam and laura. she couldn't have gotten a stronger endorsement from president obama and others like michael bloomberg, the independent former new york mayor who says he's throwing his hat in the ring behind hillary clinton. by the way, she's here tonight and aides say she is still working on that speech. >> reporter: hillary clinton

makes her final appearance at the dnc tonight. >> there has never been a man or a woman, not me, not bill, nobody more qualified than hillary clinton. >> reporter: the president got choked up passing the baton. >> and tonight i ask you to do for hillary clinton what you did for me. >> reporter: four key speakers launched a coordinated attack on donald trump. >> god help us. i'm a new yorker and i know a con when i see one. >> he's trying to tell us he cares about the middle class. give me a break. that's a bunch of mularkey. >> he just says, believe me. our nation, it is just too great to put it in the hands of a slick talking, empty-promising, self-promoting one-man wrecking crew. >> reporter: they're reaching out to independents. >> i am asking you to join with me. >> reporter: to bernie sanders supporters. >> we all should feel the bern. >> that's right, feel the bern. >> reporter: to republicans. >> we've got a home for you

right here in the democratic party. >> reporter: framing this election as a fundamental choice beyond politics. but, even after four days of fiery speeches -- >> i'm still sitting on the fence. >> reporter: -- clinton still faces a tough task tonight. that task begins in just few hou hours. maybe she got inspiration tr talking backstage to two presidents last night. she got to huddle with her husband and president obama for a bit and then the kaine family and biden family. showing unity and the type of unity the democrats hope they can promote after they leaf tve this convention. still some work to do on that. >> we will continue to follow. california's highest ranking politician spoke at the convention. governor jerry brown and gavin newson both went after donald trump on a variety of issues. governor brown attacked trump on global warming. >> trump says global warming is

a hoax. i say trump is a fraud. trump says there's no drought in california. i say trump lies. >> any time lieutenant governor gavin newson bashes trump's speech. >> what trump presented last week was defeatist and retreatist, never has a speech been so long with so little substance, so little science, so little humanity, humor, or so little hope. >> newsom attacked trump's vice presidential pick, mike pence, for his strong anti-lbgtq views. the target of those attacks donald trump making mahead like of his own. he angered a lot of people on both sides of the aisle when he reached out to russia directly to access hillary clinton's e-mails.

>> russia, if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. i think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. >> trump has since said he was being sarcastic and did not mean that comment. some democrats i have trump committed treason. paul ryan warned trump that russia is a global menace led by a devious thug. back to philadelphia, live look from inside the wells fargo center in philly where the democratic national convention as tracie just mentioned is wrapping up tonight with the key note address from the woman of the hour, hillary clinton. the "today" show will pick up the live coverage this morning. vice president joe biden and loretta lynch will travel to baton rouge to honor the three police officers killed in an ambush. biden and lynch will speak at a ceremony for the three fallen

are. >> investigators are hope that that picture will jog someone's memory. if you know anything surrounding this case, please contact the alameda county sheriff's department. now to the latest developments out of monterrey county. a story we have been covering closely all week. 14 more homes were destroyed in a fire that is still raging out of control, not far from salinas. that brings the total number of homes burned up to 34. at least one person has died. "today in the bay's" damian trujillo is live from salinas. this firefight is far from over. 3,000 plus firefighters battling the flames. >> reporter: that's right, sam. good morning. briefing begins at 7:00 this morning for the firefighters here. they will get their assignments and then head out to the front lines. many of them spent the night in their fire trucks, resting up for their long and hot shift today for the next 24 hours here in the soberanes fire in monterrey county. the last report from cal fire has the containment still at

10%. that's partly because the fire is in tough terrain and 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 worries fatigue might be a factor with some firefighters, especially with the heat. they are keeping a close eye on the crews. more than 2500 firefighters -- or 3500 firefighters are still on the front lines. many of them are from the bay area. so far as you mentioned, 34 homes have been destroyed along with 10 out buildings like barns. those who lost everything say it won be easy starting over. >> that was my home. that was my home. so i lost everything i own. >> 300 foot flames. just absolutely shaken. i'm still post-traumatic. say good-bye to my motorcycle and everything. >> reporter: the crews who are here at base camp started waking up about 5:30 this morning.

as we head into the weekend, that's coming up in less than ten minutes. mike's got a mostly normal commute right now. >> that's right. looks like mostly sunny a coup of spots that we're watching. over here looking at a smooth flow of traffic and the south bay has normal trend, lighter than usual though for this thursday and that crash north 101 at 880. still on the shoulder. we'll talk about that more in the next report. want to make sure we get the try valuely, north 680 shows that unusual slowing because four vehicles on the shoulder and some crews that are coming to help out with four different vehicles with flat tires. still trying to get more information on what that cause may be but we heard of no others since those first four. meanwhile, arrows point in the traditional slowing southbound for 680 and 880 coming through the east bay. across that san mateo bridge, we have the build and toward the bay bridge also out of the maze we have that congestion. look, the east shore freeway close to the limit and the metering lights did turn on this week. may be the pattern we're starting to see. give t another week or so to sort out. meanwhile, at the bay bridge toll plaza, lighter volume
