7:00 this morning before they're able to get this uprighted and removed. looking at the progress we see right now. chp also points out the fact that based on their local knowledge of the area this 14th street on-ramp to northbound 238, usually does not get backed up during the commute so they do not expect this to have a huge impact on the morning commute. if you take a look back over here where you can see northbound 238, that on-ramp is shut down, the traffic is far in the background. people going into the warren will not be able to see this accident. the bottom line and takeaway they do not expect this to have a huge impact on your ride to work if you're going to the hayward area. the driver's okay so he might face a citation, reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay."

forecast. we've been talking about this heat we've been having. >> or grumbling about it. >> they'll be grumbling even more once the humidity kicks in and it's been a long time coming. and then we have a chance of a slight chance of thunderstorms, maybe even dry lightning. so just a very unusual setup as we are going to have some really hot temperatures later today. look at where we'll be getting this morning. it's 68 degrees in the tri-valley. this is pretty bad. it's 66 degrees in the south bay, east bay at 58 degrees and it's 56 degrees right now in san francisco. we can see a little bit of that fog rolling by but much of the city is all clear and we're starting out in gilroy, nine degrees warmer than yesterday at this time and i think that trend will continue as we head up to 100 degrees in morgan hill and concord today 102. napa 96 degrees and san francisco mid-70s.

we'll keep those temperatures the same. i think it'll be a great day to go to the beach if you can. we'll start out in the upper 50s and up to 70 degrees at noon and more clouds moving in by 4:00. we'll see those highs only reaching the low 70s there and it's a great day to go golfing early in the day, very early. already by 9:00 we're at 77 degrees in the trivale, 92 degrees at noon. you know it's going to be a hot day as we see those temperatures quickly make it into the upper 90s and even over 100 degrees. this hot area of high pressure really setting records for the pacific northwest but it's far enough north to allow for this area of low pressure, that rain that we've been tracking this morning just offshore to move in. it's sucking up moisture and as it moves into the bay area it creates some high humidity, but then it dries out and that creates the potential of some dry lightning as it moves in. we'll have that chance late tonight and throughout the day

tomorrow. mostly cloudy skies. san francisco reaching into the low to mid-70s for the weekend. we'll be in the upper 60s and for the inland areas up to 101 degrees today for some valleys. very muggy tomorrow. look at those overnight temperatures, 72 degrees and for friday it all clears out of here, humidity goes back down but it will still be hot. i'll have more updates on that and mike has another update on that big rig crash. >> we have a big tow truck, a second one in the area. it looks like they're getting ready to hook up perhaps to this trailer. let's watch for a few seconds. we saw this big orange air bags that were underneath the rig. they inflated that to help get it up past the tipping point where they could stand it up on its wheels. they're now moving this big rig tow truck into the area. i'm hoping what they'll be able to do is hook this trailer up on to this tow truck. those air bags we talked about.

you got a progress report for us. >> reporter: a lot of progress has been made in the last half hour. you can see this big rig that was once on its side has been uprighted. you see those orange bags there, a wrecker company put those bags underneath the big rig. there was concern that the trailer itself could tear and rip apart because it's so heavy the load, inside 70,000 pounds of washers and dryers but you could see they were successful. it's just a matter of hooking the big rig up to a wrecker so it can be towed out of here. this big rig overturned just before 2:00 this morning. the driver according to chp was coming off northbound 238 on the left side of your screen. you can see right here on the ground some dirt. he came off the off-ramp too fast according to chp, lost control, took out that sign, rolled over. the driver was okay, was able to get himself out of the big rig on his own. chp noticed oil leaking up from the cab.

they were able to dike that about five gallons of oil. i bring that up because cal train is out here and they consider that to be a hazmat situation. this big rig should be taken out of here any moment. it looks like they do have it hooked up to the wrecker, in the meantime you'll see have northbound 238 the on and off-ramp here at 14th street still shut down until this big rig is cleared from the scene. if you can see, there's your commute traffic there heading towards 880, those bright lights, but you're looking at it traffic is at the limit. in other words, this doesn't seem that this accident here at the northbound 238 on and off-ramp is having much impact on the morning commute. reporting live here in hayward, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> we have more breaking news overnight. this is video just into our newsroom within the last few
