so we don't see as much of a change as the inland areas heat up. a look in san jose as you see the clouds overhead. at least we do have that nice and cool start to the morning with some clearing skies here within the next couple of hours. we'll talk about what's ahead with hotter temperatures coming up. mike takes us back to santa clara. >> we had a crash involving a gas tanker truck that's alarming but no issues as far as any gas spills, not the even a hazmat situation. i double-checked and the situation was waved off. not a problem there. we are looking at this activity on the shoulder north 101. a couple of cruisers and that tanker truck on the shoulder so a little distraction as you pass by great america parkway but no major slowing as you see on the sensors. we're locking at the earlier slowing. these travel times are great become to 14 minutes as we would expect down to the bay bridge toll plaza. sam, back to you. 5:00 on the dot this morning

and live now to washington where the plan to repeal and replace the affordable care act took one step forward dramatically yesterday. then took one step back. first senators agreed to open debate on a new health care bill and then hours later republicans faced their first defeat. they failed to pass a had measure they've been working on that would partially repeal and replace obamacare. "today in the bay's" tracy poth joins us live with what is next and the full palate of options, tracie. it is hard to keep track of. >> reporter: well, let's try to simplify it for you because what happened is repeal and replace didn't work. nine republicans voted against that. today, though, giving lawmakers two more years to figure out what to replace obamacare with. that's not expected to pass. then it's open season after that for amendments and other ideas one of which is the so-called

plan, allowing republicans to repeal or get rid of certain parts of obamacare like the individual mandate. the fact businesses have to provide health care. but keeping some of the more controversial and larger and more expensive parts like medicaid and subsidies for low-income families to pay health insurance doesn't really solve some of the issues both democrats and republicans have that allow them to say they repealed but there would still be a lot on the table. we don't know where they're going to go with this today. we do expect there will be more debate coming up this after knoop. live from washington, i'm tracie potts, back to you. all right, thank you very much. happening today leaders from all nine bay area counties are meeting right now to talk about the future. >> at issue housing infrastructure and jobs. b"today in the bay's" pete suratos joins us live in san carlos with some of the details on today's vote. good morning, pete. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura and sam.

officials will be voting later today. i went to the plan 2040 website to see what this is about and how it will affect our viewer who is watching right now. it comes down to housing and jobs. it revolves around the two key issues as we see the population grow around the bay area year by year. by 2040 they would like to add 820,000 housing units around the bay area as well as 1.3 million jobs. now i want to point out according to the plan a majority of the housing and jobs will be focused on larger cities such as san francisco, san jose and oakland. if you're a smaller city such as richmond, emeryville and mountain view, those are being looked at as key locations by officials as well. they want to look at invest pt strategies for regional transportation which would be paid for by $303 billion in expected revenue from federal and local levels over the next 20-plus years. and it's also this plan that

will comply with senate bill 375 which addresses climate change from cars and light duty trucks as well as providing housing for projected growth. the metropolitan commission and an association of governments as well as representatives from more than 101 cities around the bay area coming together to discuss this plan. they will be meeting in san francisco tonight at 7:00 p.m. we're live in san carlos, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> all right, thank you, pete. >> thank you, pete. it is 5:04 right now. are a fourth suspect linked to the brutal killing of an elderly san jose woman will face a judge today. santa clara county arrest a man. douglas was well known and loved in the community. many calling her miss flo. she died last october after being attacked inside her home. all new this morning belmont

minutes. mike says there's a little slowing out there. >> but just a little, kari. i had to look and none here, none over there -- oh, over here, over here out of the altamont pass. not a surprise. west 580 a little bit of slowing as folks come out of the merge with 205. by the time you get to livermore you're fine. the dublin interchange will see more traffic flow in about 20 minutes. you'll see more traffic there. probably not a lot of slowing but watch for incidents to increase as traffic through the area starts to build as well. we're looking here to the maze. no problems for these approaches either. watch highway 24. watching through walnut creek. that build will happen over the next half hour as well and travel times, no problems for the north bay. no delays from 101 or highway 37 coming over from vallejo into novato. >> thank you, mike. 5:10 right now. up next, a new report ranks the top-educated regions in the country. find out where silicon valley

5:24. welcome back to you. football season right around the corner this morning we're diving deeper into an alarming new report that shows just how dangerous that sport can be. >> and we're not just talking about professional football. the crazy thing this goes as early as high school football. researchers at boston university studied the brains of dead former football players. here is what they found. evidence of severe brain damage

in the vast majority of college players. here are the numbers to bring it into perspective. after studying the brain of 177 former f eer football players t showed signs of cte, a brain disease linked to repeated blows to the head including 110 out of 111 brains of former nfl players. 48 out of 53 college players and for high school players the numbers were quoite a bit lower. 3 of 14 also showed signs of cte. right now research is limited because the disease can only be diagnosed after death. >> these are people that chose to donate their brains to science because they suspected that they or their family members, loved ones, had cte. it turns out a lot of them were right. >> that is amazing. the nfl issued a statement on the new reporting that it's going to work with a wide range

to improve the health of current and former nfl athletes. >> it will be interesting to see if it changes the way parents enroll their kids in football. 5:26. the text-alyzer may be coming to new york. new york state will study the use of that device. if you're not familiar with it, it lets police see if a driver was using a cell phone before a serious crash. opponents have privacy and constitutional concern. they compared it to a breathalyzer to determine if a driver is drunk saying that test is perfectly legal. >> an alarming recall to tell you about this morning. polaris is recalling more than 16,000 recreational off highway vehicles due to fuel leaks and fire hazards. that recall involves all model years 2015 through 2017, youth rzr-170-rovs. they have two seats, sold in red, blue and white. polaris has received more than 100 reports of cracked fuel tank

if you get a call like this, police say hang up, but if you cannot, then demand specifics and demand to speak to your loved ones. >> what does my loved one lock like? what are they wearing? can you describe their car? can i speak with that person? just ask very direct questions that will require a direct answer. >> reporter: now just yesterday the fbi announced the arrest of this woman, the ringleader of a virtual scam ring with victims here in california and in three other states. lapd reports that since 2015 victims in l.a. alone paid $114,000 for loved ones had who were never in danger. the good news here in palo alto no one has lost any money. we did post advice from law enforcement on my facebook page. in the comments tell me if you've gotten a scam call like this one. now in regard to that woman arrested, i'm digging into that indictment. it is a ten-count indictment, to see if any of those california victims are here in the bay

area. i'll tell you what i find at 6:30. in palo alto, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." it is 5:34 right now. happening today the 18-year-old father accused of abandoning his baby in a parking lot is expected to make his first court appearance. barbers at a nearby shop say they saw daniel mitchell leave the 16-day-old baby in a parking lot. the newborn was still in a car seat. it this surveillance video captured that incident. it happened monday afternoon. the barbers who rescued the child say they can't stop thinking about him. >> we just want to know what's going on with the baby. he looked all right sitting in the seat. he was alert, relaxed, sucking on a pacifier. >> the father is charged with child abandonment and endangerment along with cocaine possession. police say he now claims he did so much cane he didn't know that he left his baby behind. the mother is not considered a

suspect. a developing story overnight, firefighters knocked down a grass fire in south san jose. this is some video of the flames yesterday. that fire started yesterday evening near the golf club in almaden hills. the video you're looking at. the quick action by fire crews did keep the flames from spreading. only about five acres of land was burned. 5:35. leaders will debate a temporary freeze on the marijuana dispensary permit at least until the smoke clears on legalization. when new year rolls around, recreational marijuana will become legal in california. after the board yesterday approved new dispensary limits for just the excelsior district, mal malia cohen called for the 45-day moratorium. she wants the board to gauge how marijuana clubs will fit into new state and local cannabis framework. the push to change the name of san francisco's justin herman plaza is now official. new this morning san francisco

supervisor is introducing legislation calling specifically for that change. that bill proposes removing the name from the plaza at embarcadero right there by the ferry building until a new name is determined. skr justin herman did lead in the 1960s but pushed out african-american communities from the western neighborhoods. thousands of people signed an online petition calling for the name change. happening today transit considers the future of bus routes to three schools in the observing hills. oakland unified has been paying transit to provide service to mon ttero middle school, skylin high school, and community day school. but in january the district cut all that funding. ac transit says the bus services will go away without the money. the meeting is today at 1:00 in the east bay room in oakland. and a light, easy drive showing up right now around the bay. we do have a tree down on highway 9 at sanborn.

that's affecting just a few folks. you do see the slowing on our sensors. a little build in your typical spots for 101, for example, in san jose, and also at the bay bridge toll plaza. southbound 101. right at the airport exit. i'm told a new crash may be blocking the lanes. we'll track that getting more updates from chp as we look at your travel times throughout the east bay. the bay bridge metering lights are on. the backup is gradual and shows no slowing. that is a great report for the maze. oh, i'm sorry. >> there it is. looks good. looks great. you know what's great? >> always the weekend. is there ever a bad time to talk about the weekend? >> unless you work on the weekends. >> good point. >> everybody is working for the weekend. >> i think so. and we have some serious weekend warriors, some events you can check out or some road trips you may want to take. a look at saturday's forecast. we'll be up to 95 degrees

inland. the bay up to 87. and 70 near the coast. we are going more of the same. hot inland for valley, the bay pretty warm and the coast will be much more comfortable. this will be the last weekend of the outdoor summer concert series at the park. maybe you'll want to check that out. throughout the afternoon it will be in the low 90s saturday but by the time the concert starts at 5:00 we'll be at 88 degrees dropping back into the low 80s with some mostly sunny skies. if you are planning to head to the sierra, a live lock as the sun rise and the temperatures for kirkwood will be in the low 70s on friday but then some mid to upper 70s for the rest of the weekend and then going hiking in uir woods in the upper 70s on friday. lower 80s for the weekend and some mostly sunny skies. a nice weekend to go there if you want some hotter weather you may be heading to paso robles

5:42 with cloudy skies. a live look outside in fremont. it is already busy on the roadways. our temperatures will be in the mid-60s. we're at 72 degrees and reaching the low 80s today it won't be that bad today but those temperatures really get hot again this weekend for some of the inland valleys. we'll talk about that coming up at about 5:48. and these travel times just starting to come up a little bit because speeds are coming down a little bit as the commute starts for the tri-valley. we will show you coming up. >> we'd like to keep it calm. truch. 5:42. new details to share with you in a multimillion dollar lawsuit

filed against tennis star venus williams. she says she's not at fault in a crash that killed a 78-year-old man in florida but that man's family attorney says williams was in the paying attention while she was driving. here is that attorney. >> we believe that the evidence from the black box download will demonstrate that she was distracted and delayed in her reactions which ultimately caused this accident. >> that deadly crash happened last month when williams struck the man's car at an intersection and police say williams was not at fault. according to legal documents williams says this story coming up on the "today" show at 7:00. would you vote for california to secede from the united states? you might soon have to answer that question at the ballot box. the state attorney general has given the green lit for a group calling for secession to start collecting signatures for a ballot initiative.

the campaign needs more than 585,000 signatures to qualify for the 2018 ballot. the movement is being called cal exit. an earlier attempt to put it on the ballot was withdrawn in april. to let you know there's no procedure in the constitution for a state to secede. the president says the battle in the senate will bring great health care. >> what's actually going on there, scott mcgrew? so far little progress. yesterday's vote, which the republicans won, sam, the vice president broke with a tie, merely allowed debate over health care. it was not a win for a bill. there really is no specific bill. overnoight a bill called the crz amendment failed when nine voted against it. that bill would have been a full repeal and replace. the cbo never scored it. it needed 60 to pass. republicans so far can't muster

50. this morning we should see an attempt to repeal obamacare with no replace. the cbo says more than 30 million people would lose their health care. after that the so-called skinny bill that with remove the individual mandates would cause the death spiral as insurance companies pull out. this may never get a vote. new this morning trump's former campaign manager will not have to testify in public at today's hearing. the senate judiciary committee drafted a subpoena for paul manafort after manafort agreed to meet privately with committee members and turn over documents. the committee, course, investigating connections between the trump campaign and the kremlin. president trump was asked about his attacks on the general attorney jeff sessions. trump repeated his statement he would never have appointed had he known he would recuse himself in investigation into the campaign. when trump was asked if he would fire the attorney general, he

said this. >> i told you before i'm very disappointed with the attorney general, but we will see what happens. time will tell. time will tell. >> continuing to our eye on the health care debate this morning and bring you updates in the meantime you can contact us about what you think he about everything on twitter. i'm @scottmcgrew. >> thanks lot, scott. developing right now in las vegas massive flooding taking over the streets of sin city. take a look at this. drivers just stuck in the water trying to drive through. is severe storms bringing heavy rain to the area this week. people are being told to be on alert for the possibility of more severe weather through today. it looks like we got flash flooding there. >> bedroom communities outside of downtown vegas. >> a lot of things. >> it gets really hard. when they get some rain on top of that, it runs off and it really doesn't have a chance to soak into the ground and causes

a lot of problems there. it's because of the monsoon season. i to show you the radar this morning as we are getting that reversal of the winds that brings in more humid air for parts of the desert southwest and as we look at the radar from the past 18 hours we can see by yesterday afternoon those storms really got firing up. we also had some lightning over the sierra so that was a result of all of that moisture rolling into the region so we'll continue to keep an eye on that. as we bring it back home we are looking at a morning start with temperatures right now in the lower 60s with mostly cloudy skies. it's 57 degrees and cloudy in san francisco look live at at&t park, getting ready for that early afternoon game today. in the north bay we're at 56 degrees with partly cloudy skies, and now the seven-day forecast is up at the bottom of the screen, shows hotter temperatures ahead. we're going to rise up to 85 degrees today in san jose and a lot of 90s for much of the east bay from antioch over towards
