"today in the bay" starts right now. wednesday morning. half way through. good morning to you.

i'm laura garcia-cannon. and i'm scott mcgrew in for sam brock. let's get your morning started with a look at a humid forecast. >> how about we pick up the bay area and move it to miami? we are going to feel the humidity increasing. if you think it's muggy this morning. that's nothing compared to what will have today and there's a heat advisory in effect. it mostly includes the hills where temperatures will reach over 100. we do have some lightning and some rain just offshore just across the central coast and just to the southwest of here. i'll be tracking that as it moves closer to the bay area. more details on that coming up. mike's tracking two crashes right now. >> you're tracking lightning, i'm tracking just two crashes. overall the speed sensors look great for the bay area freeway except for up here. this is southbound highway 242. that crash still blocks your fast lane and your slow from highway 4. the longer route is the better

route. we do have inth overturned big rig which caused a 238 off-ramp to be closed. lighter summer traffic and being a wednesday, you're still moving well. the reason it's closed, an overturned big rig. that's that breaking news that we've been covering since we came on air this morning, that big rig crash in hayward. >> bob redell's been there since 5:00. he knows the latest. >> reporter: you can see that big rig's been uprightsed. it's on the back of a wrecker. we expect it to be hauled out of here at any moment. the issue right now looks like they're trying to secure the cab to the trailer and i don't know if you can see in the background there's some kral tran workers, some oil spilled so they're trying to clean that up. a minor hazmat situation. until they get this removed the

on-ramp and off-ramp is going to be shot down. this is what the scene looked like just over an hour ago. the driver of this big rig was coming off the ramp, going too fast and lost control and the big rig went over and went over on the its side of the driver's okay. 70,000 pounds of washers and drivers in the trailer. the concern was that when they were uprighting it that maybe they would tear the trailer, but the wrecker company brought out these air bags, they were able to get the truck upright and keep it intact so that's going to make it easier to get it out of here. it's just a matter of towing it out of this location. that driver could face a citation. now you're looking at northbound 230. the traffic heading from the left side to the right side of your tv screen. that's traffic on northbound

238. you can see the traffic is pretty much at the limit. this is so far off 238 that people can't see it so you don't have a lookie loo issue unfortunately according to chp, they say these ramps are not huge major thorough fares during the commute. reporting live here in hayward, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you. developing now in alameda county, authorities there investigating a shooting near hayward. shots fired near a home last night in the 21,000 block of oceanview drive near apple avenue. the severity of the injuries not clear. we've been placing calls to the sheriff's department trying to find out more. we did some checking overnight. in july alone three people were murdered in hayward. a san francisco judge will decide if three political consultants in san francisco will go to trial for corruption. in a case connected to the ray mon scandal.

look at your taxes and frankly they've been wanting to do that for a while. pull apart that complicated tax code and put together a new plan for how you pay and how much you pay. it was supposed to happen after health care. but health care didn't happen so now congress is moving on. >> so we have important work to do. >> reporter: the senate plans to debate tax reform after labor day. >> our message is pretty simple, we want to have a fairer and more simple tax code. >> reporter: battle lines are already shaping up between republicans and democrats. >> most of the principals that would get at the time country growing again they're not interested in addressing. >> reporter: 45 democrats sign aid letter outlining what they want. no tax hike for the middle class, no tax break for the wealthy, open hearings and no increase to the deficit. could this end up in gridlock like health care. >> if they decide to cut democrats out of the process and do it by themselves, the same fate is likely to await them. >> reporter: the white house is reaching out. >> we've engaged many, in fact,

democrats in the conversation. i think they're excited for tax reform as well. >> reporter: there is agreement to raise the debt ceiling over the next month so the u.s. doesn't land in historic default. meantime the justice department is changing course. the "the new york times" published an internal memo suggesting they're going after colleges that discriminate against white applicants. and the president's still holding out for a deal on health care. in fact, today he's bringing in one lawmaker to talk to at the white house someone who had said briefly they might be willing to vote against obamacare to repeal it. back to you. another big headline out of washington. the senate has overwhelmedly voted christopher wray as the fbi director. the vote was 92-5. it follows of course the firing of former director james comey. wray now inherits the leadership of the fbi's role in investigating russian

the bay area late tonight and early tomorrow morning. we'll also see mostly cloudy skies and we'll be watching for especially around the hills the chance of dry lightning moving through. we just saw that video of the intense heat across the pacific northwest, this is the reason why but it's far enough north this large area of high pressure to allow for that monsoonal moisture to move into here and that's what we are going to be dealing with for today and tomorrow, definitely feel like we're in the florida or something like that with the high humidity, mostly cloudy skies. in san francisco reaching the low to mid-70s the next couple of days, 101 today, still muggy tomorrow and hot up to 98 degrees and then some lower 90s in time for the weekend we'll shake that humidity too and mike has another look at that big rig crash in the east bay. >> we've been following this all morning. bob has been on the scene and so even though the original estimate was cleared by 6:30 we've been told and we had seen
