who may need assistance. in the aftermath of the violence we saw in charlottesville, the public defender's office wants to remind folks to express themselves but do so in a safe way. >> express yourself but don't get physical. with anyone. >> reporter: some counterprotesters are doing just that raising thousands of dollars to float this inflatable "trump" chicken over the bay, the goal to photo bomb the protest, the group claiming the president is a chicken for not releasing his tax returns, that's what the group is saying. as far as tomorrow's rally they'll start with a flag run tomorrow morning. there will be bikers, driving american flags across the golden gate bridge. the rally itself starts at 2:00 p.m. we're live at crissy field, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, pete. >> and we have compiled a list of items you are not allowed to

an anti-marxism rally. the goal is to keep the peace. >> our responsibility is to plan thoroughly to consider the worst case contingency and be ready to scale up or down ourroach to manage whatever comes ourway. >> counterprotesters will likely confront demonstrators. of course this all follows the deadly violence at a demonstration in charlottesville. berkeley is removing a number of mailboxes. here is a map showing the location. you can see the mailboxes are all near cal campus where sunday's rallies take place. back in february protesters damaged several mailboxes. our coverage continues online. we'll stay on top of the protests and rallies. we'll be constantly updating our website and our facebook and twitter feeds 24/7.

development in the city's dog path neighborhood. the plan calls for new housing along shops and office space and pier 70. the shipyard closed in may. city planners yesterday approved a proposal that may add up to 2,100 new housing units and nine acres of new waterfront parks. this morning a new report from caltrans is touting economic and environmental benefits of mass transit. not surprisingly they say rail service saved money for passengers and it reduces congestion and travel times for people using other modes of transportation as well. we searched through the report overnight and here are the key findings. the number of people who ride caltrain each year keeps 50,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide from entering the environment. we're coming up on 5:09 with

much better situation. no delays to or through the toll bridge toll plaza there. for the north bay travel times show a great time even for highway 37 out of vallejo. back to you. thanks, mike. coming up, bracing for impact. the strongest storm to hit the u.s. in more than a decade is barreling to the gulf coast. the impact the hurricane could have on thousands of people. and we investigate san jose's housing crisis. the new numbers crunched overnight and the possible solution under debate now.

to change course and cancel those classes some students told us that was the right decision. >> as a female student i'm relieved at this point to hear those classes have -- are basically out of his han. >> the university says he does remain part of the school but officials are discussing the professor's future at the university. 5:35 and growing concerns over in san francisco's dolores park. many incompeten many incidents are happening in broad daylight. a victim ended up stabbing a suspect who tried to steal a bike. we've been tracking major crimes this year. earlier this month three people were injured in a shooting. during gay pride in june fights erupted in the park where a man was stabbed and a woman hit in the head with a bottle. in may a group of young men attacked and then stabbed another man and there was also another shooting in february. finally last month a large crowd of skateboarders took over

dolores street and started illegally skateboarding down the hill. the skateboarder was injured after he collided with an officer. sfpd announced they will patrol the park on foot every day. and let's take a live look at 101 in palo alto. not too shabby this morning. a new report out this morning says more people in the city are car-pooling or taking mass transit. we've checked online and found the numbers overnight and the survey says fewer downtown service workers are driving alone. the rate is down from 56% driving solo in 2016 to 53% in 2017. the rate of workers using transit is up 18% -- rather, from 18% to 20%. ride sharing is up from 6% to 8%. happening today the north bay's long-awaited commuter train is finally rolling. the smart train -- sorry about that -- this is a live look at

that's the logic. the bay bridge, san mateo and on the freeway keep track of the slowing on the high volume areas. right now the volume is being handled just fine. 680 and highway 84, that's good news there. no major delays as folks travel. we talk about the build. nothing dramatic. a live look in san jose for the first burst of traffic. a little change there as well to get an easier build. >> i love when you call for the metering lights. >> i do not have that amount. >> kari, calls for a beautiful forecast. >> yay. we know that no mat what's happening in the weather it is going to be a great weekend. it is going to be a hotter one, though. look at how hot the inland temperatures will be, up to 98 degrees. get ready for that and the bay at 87. 72 at the coast. great beach week. 76 degrees on the coast for sunday and even hotter inland so

it'll be 80 degrees and then as the festival goes on throughout the day you'll want to find your place in the shade. it will be in the low 90s. now the national parks will be free today, and this includes yosemite. so if you're going there for today, it's going to be perfect, up to 70 degrees, and we'll have some low 70s for the rest of the weekend. i'll have a look at today's temperature trend for san jose coming up in three minutes. all right, thank you, kari. coming up, a mangled metal miracle. >> again, it's just amazing that anybody was able to walk away from that car. >> an overnight wreck in the south bay and how someone miraculously made it out of that crash alive. plus, blind sided. a san francisco woman attacked in the middle of the day. we investigate overnight to see if this is an ongoing trend.

it's 5:43. the sun starting to make an appearance. to the neighborhood of evergreen for the temperature trend. we start out at 64 degrees. we'll be reaching slightly above normal today with those highs in the mid-80s. hotter today and for weekend. i'll talk about that heat and an update on hurricane harvey coming up at about 5:49. slowing out of vallejo.

no other problems. miraculous is how police are describing an early morning crash. we have new video of that mangled aftermath into our newsroom as you're seeing there. police say it happened around 2:30 a.m. authorities say that this was a single car crash. one lou ten says when he drove up he thought it was going to be a fatal wreck. >> it's miraculous he walked away from this accident. >> when the officer showed up they found the driver sitting on the curb talking with witnesses. the driver has only minor injuries and is being checked out at the hospital. police are working right now to figure out what led up to that crash. a man caught on camera.

you can see in the vo the man approaches the woman from behind, beats her. he takes something from her hand and as she tries to get up then he comes back and hits her again. >> i walk this block all the time. i walk with my kids and my parents. >> sfpd is investigating this incident. a man brutally attacked a woman and walked away. this happen in pacific heights. hours after new waiting periods for recall lexs go of brown yesterday signed a bill into law. critics the law helps democrat senator josh newman survive being recalled in the orange county elections.

california, muir woods, $5 and yosemite costs $20 per vehicle and $10 per adult. to the video of one of the biggest storms to make landfall. it's a plane full of storm chasers into the eye of hurricane harvey. on ground in texas residents are scrambling as the hurricane strengthens. it's expected to make landfall near corpus christi. a hospital sent critically injured babies to ft. worth. live pictures of corpus christi where that city could see 105-mile-per-hour winds. harvey will be a widespread event. san antonio, austin and the largest city, houston, are expected to be dumped on with 2 feet of rain.

this is something you've been tracking. >> right because yesterday morning at this time it was just a tropical storm and it's amazing to see how the storm has intensified. and the last storm we've seen make landfall was hurricane katrina which i was in. we are going to continue to keep an eye on this. we can see it well defined as outer rain bands make it into corpus chris at this point. unfortunately, the storm will be a very slow mover. making landfall early in the morning and still producing some heavy amounts of rain over the next several days. the possibility of this going back out over the gulf and inland in another area could produce up to 30 inches of rain in parts of the gulf coast. this will cause massive flooding

and storm surge. if you have family in texas along the coast make sure you give them a call and make sure they have a plan to evacuate. we will continue to follow that now as we look at high temperatures here. the high temperature for today up to 73 degrees. look at the tri-valley today, up to 90 degrees for an afternoon high where the north bay at 86 degrees. as you're starting out this morning a mostly clear start. grab those sunglasses. you'll probably be comfortable wearing short sleeves all day long. grab a light jacket for the start this morning. as you get up and about to get the kids out the door, we do have some patchy fog in spots and some clouds and for the inland areas it's mostly clear. our temperatures warm up at recess and by the time you pick
