thursday morning. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> and i'm sam brock. did you see the sun rise by the golden gate bridge? absolutely amazing and then you see behind me and our bay bridge camera. >> that's the way going to be this morning. some patchy fog, low clouds, and then where else it's all mostly clear as you head inland. we are going to see some of the varied weather around the bay area as we normally see this time of year look live right now in san jose all clear. ocean beach also just seeing a few clouds rolling by but visibility is not too bad there and temperature 61 and all clear in santa rosa. a beautiful shot there as well. high temperatures will reach into the upper 80s. low 90s for concord and antioch and some upper ate for livermore. san jose heading up to 83 degrees. we'll talk about some very hot temperatures for the coming up in about six minutes. mike has a report of a motorcycle fire. >> kari, we usually say car fire but this involves a motorcycle

so it's appropriately titled, i guess, for this portion of the south bay. a look at light traffic all over the bay. we're concerned about this on the shoulder just at the 87 merge where a lot of focus of the traffic is right now. at the airport you see that slowing right at the scene starting to build. this motorcycle is over on the and the saddlebag which was on fire that is out now. no injuries reported but definitely a distraction as the motorcycle driver is on the shoulder. that light build for 101 and the rest of silicon valley. your travel times, a quick check approaching the bay bridge, no problem. getting to the maze, a few slowing of traffic. >> for the first time in almost nine years o.j. simpson is waking up inside a nevada prison with a chance at being released. in just a few hours had will meet with members of the state parole board to ask his freedom. >> "today in the bay's" cheryl hurd joins us live from outside the courthouse in carson city,

nevada, to explain how soon a decision could come down and tell us what the atmosphere there is like right now. >> reporter: good morning, sam and laura. o.j. simpson may know his fate by noon today, but he's not here. he's in nevada and will be doing this hearing via teleconference. the media is here in big numbers, as you can see. a lot of media here and a lot in the back of the building. you see the barriers here. police are expecting crowds in big numbers. now the hearing is expected to take an hour or less with simpson making his case, responding to questions and then waiting for the board's decision. this is the second time simpson will face the panel. it comes after his conviction in 2008 for armed robbery, kidnapping, and other charges after he and a group of friends took sports memorabilia from two dealers at the palace station hotel and casino in las vegas. simpson has reportedly been a model inmate with no

disciplinary issues. >> and if ever there's a candidate that deto be released it's o.j. simpson. >> he may very well get parole just based upon the merits of his conduct in this case. >> reporter: a case that is not supposed to have any impact on today's hearing is simpson's controversial acquittal after the murder in 1994 of his ex-wife, nicole brown, and friend ron goldman. if paroled simpson's earliest release date would be in october. if denied simpson will have to wait at least a year for his next hearing. now we are told that o.j. simpson's sister and his oldest daughter will speak at the hearing in lovelock, never. also one of the victims in the lass vegas case is expected to speak. now this is a big deal for folks who o.j. simpson in his heyday.

"today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us live from the university this morning to explain what happened. kris? >> reporter: good morning to you, laura and sam. it seems stanford police know who the suspected rapist is because the victim knows him and it happened yesterday evening. it happened about 1:30 in the morning, though, on tuesday

morning. police say the victim and the suspect are acquaintances but didn't say why they were together nor why the 53-year-old man is under arrest at this point, only that they are investigating. if you know anything about that situation stanford police want to hear from you. according to the latest stanford university statistics available there were 39 reported sexual offenses reported on campus. 25 of which happened in student residences. only one of those reports was considered unfounded. the latest numbers available are from 2015. now you can find a link to those statistics and my twitter feed along with the victim resources by the university and stanford police. you can find those in my twitter feed and put them up on my facebook page as well. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> kris doing some digging for us. thank you very much for that live report. 6:05. new details on a story we first broke on "today in the bay" yesterday morning. we are learning neighbors of a walnut condo complex that went

up in flames think that fire was no accident. flames sparked just after midnight on ygnacio valley road. contra costa county says tenants were home at the time because they were in the process of moving out. neighbors believe they were evict ed after a history of police visits and fear the fire could have been payback. the fix for a popular business owner in marin will continue this morning. he's missing in tomales bay. crews believe tod friend went overboard while boating. he's 70 years old and owns the tomales bay oyster company. he was last seen monday on the water. searchers found his boat circling but no sign of friend. he was not wearing a life jacket. the oyster company was established more than 100 years ago. it's a popular spot for locals and tourists. watch your pets closely. that's the message right now as we are learning about more coyote sightings here in the bay area.

you see that picture, a photo of a coyote spotted near blossom hill park. that is one of at least two sightings just this week. we investigated why there have been so many sightings recently. wildlife experts told us sightings are common this time of year especially after a wet winter. the animals are trying to feed their young and meals are easy to find populated areas. so here is a tip. secure your trash cans and make sure you keep your pets inside at dusk and dawn. it is 6:07. as you take the dog for a walk this morning keep them close by. let's check out the day for oakland as we start out with some nice, cool weather but there will be some sunshine, a breeze, and temperatures at noon at 66 degrees. 73 degrees at 4:00. and then cooling down once again by 8:00. if it's a beach day, we're going to have some nice weather along the santa cruz beaches. in the mid-50s, low clouds to start but then the sun coming out around noon. 64 degrees and 73 degrees at

4:00 this afternoon. if you are going to go golfing today in the tri-valley, not a bad day but you want to head out there early. it will be bright and sunny and quickly warming temperatures by early afternoon. i'll have a look at today's temperature trend for the evergreen area coming up. mike takes us out to a few spots it may be down. one of them is mid span on the bridge. reports of a disabled vehicle. it's a motorcycle. more details came in saying the motorcycle rider reportedly was down on the ground and didn't know how he or she got there. so that person sounds like they're okay now. there will be a distraction as you pass by the exit there. it may slow the metering lights down. we're watching to see how that affects the rest of the approach. right now oakland moves smoothly and so does the maze. look how great the speed sensors are. lots of green. better news as well here in san jose. the fire on the back of a

motorcycle has cheered all activity off the roadway. look at silicon valley. no major issues here. that's a great ride. back to you. thank you very much, mike. coming up next on "today in the bay," raging wildfires, thousands on the front lines of a massive and destructive fire burning near yosemite national park. the desperate attempt to get that fire under control and stop it from destroying more homes. and in the bay area things mucher this morning as we take a live look outside from our emeryville camera and plenty of haze out there as you start off your thursday morning.

consumeers to sell ticket before they have them but sellers must provide the date that they'll have the tickets in hand. and nick says he did. he says he based that date on when the theater told him it would mail the tickets but those tickets from the theater never arrived. >> i was trying to remain calm and hopefully i could still rectify the situation but every day that passed it didn't look good. i was getting extremely nervous. >> because nick couldn't deliver the ticket on the date promised it canceled the sale and penalized him $2,400. according to the policy it's allowed to charge nick the additional cost to get the buyer s similar seats to the same show. nick was frustrated. he felt it wasn't his fault since he never received the tickets from the theater. we contacted them and they reimbursed him the $3,000 for the tickets he never received. we tried to find out why they never sent nick the tickets.

the theater wouldn't comment. we contacted stub hub. it refunded nick the $2,400 penalty. in a statement, stub hub says it was unfortunate the venue was unable to fulfill the customer's order so as a one-time courtesy stub hub stepped in to pay for the lost tickets. in his policy stub hub advises sellers who don't have tickets in hand to consider selecting a ticket delivery date as far out as possible. if you immediate to change the delivery date it stub hub can charge you fees. if you have a consumer complaint call us or online at nbcbayarea.com/respond. thank you, chris. 6:25 right now. adobe systems, which already has a large presence in san jose, now reportedly is expanding. the software giant just leased an office building downtown. not far from there adobe bought on san fernandez street. both locations are a short distance from the company headquarters. we're still awaiting details on plans but we do know 3,000

the venue change and they're offering to do that with them as early as next week. of course the campus is no stranger to controversy surrounding conservative speakers. as we saw the protests the night of a scheduled back in february and then subsequent rallies around all of berkeley when they were in support of ann coulter who canceled her speech in response to security concerns. now i did get a chance to go to ben shapiro's twitter. he says he plans to come to berkeley one way or another and still no word fromly officials this morning as far as what the other proposed venues would be. we're live from uc berkeley, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, pete. 6:33. also in the east bay this morning a father shot and killed in a haywood neighborhood while pushing his baby in a stroller. >> truly a gut-wrenching story. bob redell in san leandro. bob, do deputies have any sense, any lead on a possible suspect?

doctors discovered the tumor after mccain had surgery for a blood clot last week at the mayo clinic hospital in phoenix. we asked direct or of neuroon college dr. susan chang about this kind of fast-moving cancer. >> if no therapy subsequent to the surgery is performed we know that these tumors are so aggressive we are looking at months of survival. with treatment we can extend that. the average is probably about a year to 15 months. >> dr. chang says mccain's overall good health works in his favor but he is 80 years old and that works against him. the mccain family is asking the public for prayers. >> everybody pulling for senator mccain this morning. now back to the politics on capitol hill this morning where president trump made some bold headlines yesterday for statements that he made in an interview with "the new york times." live in washington this morning, sarah, one of those statements had to do with a warning to
