keeps it clear for everybody else in the east bay. we're jammed for about a mile. our photographer is out there and he has the progress. we have two lanes moving. there's a crash, took the live shot. they've cleared a number of tires. the fuel is off of the roadways. they can then open the lanes. we're hoping for another 15 minutes. we're still waiting to make sure everyone is safe. >> anything you have to do, make sure you get it done early. the morning hours will be the best time and will have a cooldown later on this evening. even for the coast we have a heat advisory in effect.

what pg&e is worried about the transformers were working so hard yesterday with everyone using their ac late into the evening they didn't have a chance to cool off overnight so the bay area may see some major power outages around noon or later today. pg&e says they're ready to respond and will send out backup transformers. they ask customers to be ready today and the next few days for power outages. >> waiting until after 10:00 p.m. to use washers, dryers, have a vacuum cleaners. avoid using your oven. use a microwave or go outside and grill. >> keep your pets indoors and give them plenty of water. we are in for record heat.

mind the flex alert. reporting live in free month, "today in the bay." >> thanks, sharon. this will be a busy weekend. comic con comes to san francisco and the giants have a game. a very hot scottish highland gathering and games event at the alameda fair grounds. our pete suratos joins us at 6:30. there are also events in con court and millbrae and capitola among others. just download the free nbc bay area app and click on the weather tab for temps in your neighborhood. we are getting a glimpse of all of the damage left behind in houston. you see files of furniture and debris outside a lot of homes there.

new video showing a tornado that spawned from harvey. this image was captured in kingston county, alabama. >> here is where the situation stand this is hour. today marks one week since hurricane harvey made landfall. more than 500,000 people lost their cars, trucks, their vehicles to flooding and there are 38 people confirmed to have died. a lot of folks are still missing and so that number could still rise. "today in the bay's" sarah dallof is live in houston with the desperate search for people who are still missing. we know that a lot of our bay area firefighters are there trying to help as well, sarah. >> reporter: yeah, we've seen people come from all over the state both profession al al and

every day people. some are able to get back into their homes. and when they do it's very shocking, about 100,000 are damaged. waterlogged and weary. furniture and mementos destroyed. >> all of this is material and can be replaced. we have each other and that's all that matters. >> reporter: still, other homes remain under water. >> what do you need at your house? >> reporter: desperate residents continue to be rescued. flood watters in beaumont, texas, overwhelmed the main water pump station forcing the evacuation of patients from a hospital. vice president mike pence toured damage thursday. just days after the president's visit. >> not in just the weeks and months but the years that it will take for us to rebuild.

and we know we will with these good and strong people. a series of explosions rocked the area. new dangers emerging days after harvey moved on. and most people do not have flood insurance here. only one in six do and as little as an inch of rain can cause around 20,000 in damage. the dry wall and the carpeting. >> a lot of people want to help. we made it easy to give to the red cross. head to our home page for a link. >> and back to our micro climate weather alert right now.

san jose and the golden gate bridge, that shot is absolutely beautiful. that haze there, the fog. >> really hard to find unless our going swimming and livermore where temperatures could possibly set an all-time record high and we are going to definitely see the daily high temperature record smashed as our temperatures go up to 110 degrees by 3:00 and 113 by 4:00 today. we'll spend several hours above 100 degrees. live in san jose and the temperature transfer where we will be up to 105 by this afternoon. mike is tracking some live pictures.

>> reference this and get out of the way. chp is doing the clearing work. a little more to go and they have more boxes to pick up here. they can then clear and take care of the fuel on the side later as the commute continues. now other than that there's only one other area we have a slow drive. friday before a holiday. we expect that lighter commute but here up in san pablo the chopper shot there. sky ranger is overhead. look at all of this debris. only two lanes of westbound 80 are opening and here you see it. that's over on its side. the top is shredded and that's all the debris in the area. these folks are getting on.

that's where the traffic is jammed heading down to san pablo. back to you. >> a tough day for them working outside. >> cracking down on drunk drivers as we head into the labor day holiday weekend. the steps law enforcement officers are taking to keep you safe while you're on the road. plus, the latest jobs number showing the american economy and how it's growing. i'll walk you through them.

we're coming up on 6:14. you know it's going to be a hot day. let me show you how hot it's going to be in fremont with already a busy start. by 10:00 we're in the mid-80s and reaching into the low 90s by early afternoon. a day to stay inside as we stay at 100 degrees for several hours this afternoon and we could have spots as hot as 115 degrees today. i'll have more on that coming up at 6:19. and here's our view, yes, that's debris. that's blocking half the freeway of westbound 80. you see that truck has the top sheared off. in san pablo your commute is jammed here. we're tracking the cleanup where that crash and the overturned vehicle in san jose coming up. it's 6:14 and will be a busy week for bay area law enforcement agencies out in full

force looking for drunk drivers. the california highway patrol is going to maximum enforcement. that means all available chp officers and deputies will be out patrolling. local police departments will be doing the same. we checked our archives and found during last year's labor day weekend, 38 people died, up 20% from the year before. last year chp says there were more than 1,000 dui arrests. samsung now has a permit to start testing self-driving cars here in california and it comes just months after rival apple got permission. samsung plans to use their car to develop technology that can drive in bad weather. samsung says it has no plans to actually make cars. the company has not said exactly where it will be testing the cars in california but we do know there is a samsung office in san jose. and the latest employment data shows a slowdown in jobs

growth and the unemployment rate picks up. >> scott mcgrew, only slightly. >> and, kris, i've been telling you for 20 years now, a tenth of a percent either way is not something to celebrate or worry about. the american economy put 156,000 more of our friends and neighbors to work in august. now that's less than economists expected. more importantly the numbers from past months were revised downward. the unemployment rate goes higher but, again, little moves are not worth getting worked up about. other news, the california supreme court ruled on thursday citizens have a right to the data collected by police automated license plate readers and police departments can't prevent people from looking ta-da at that by claiming an ongoing investigation if there is no specific investigation. some police departments already turn the data over gladly because they consider it to be

public record. oakland's been really good. a man in san leandro asked for it there. they turn it over. earlier this month the federal government passed a law, a bipartisan law, that will allow local police departments to use rapid dna machines. this is a simulation that you're seeing here. police officers will swab people accused of felonies. put the samples in a machine. as of now we're going to talk a lot more about the privacy issues and the business issues sunday mornings after "meet the press." >> i'm told it will help with the backlog with rape kits as well. >> it can because it's much faster than by mail. all new this morning people living near levi stadium may

want to brace for a late night next month. the 49ers are warning santa clara officials cold play will likely defy the city's 10:00 p.m. week night curfew. it's on october 4, a wednesday. cold play typically plays until 11:00. the city council denied the request to extend the curfew. they claim abruptly stopping the show could pose a public safety threat. officials say it would be up to police to force the concert to stop. and now let's continue to watch our micro climate weather alert. we were talking about how to stay cool and what are the signs to look for. pete suratos is over at the alameda county fair grounds. you might want to avoid going out if you can. >> if you can. a lot of people have to work outside. we do have to be really careful out there with this extreme heat and our temperatures start out

at 67 degrees in the tri-valley and peninsula. 71 degrees and now 58 degrees from the cooler temperatures now in the north bay but later today that's where some of the hotter temperatures will be. we'll be up to 105 degrees in napa and santa rosa. in the tri-valley it's going to top out at 113 degrees today. also in livermore. now if we go two degrees above 113 degrees we could tie the all-time hottest temperature we've ever had in livermore which was set back in 1950. so we'll be watching that very closely. we will most likely break the record today in san jose. 103 and 93 degrees is the expected high. be really careful for the kids going to school. it is a warmer start to the day but we will have a lot of kids going out earlier in the morning or staying inside during recess to do some crafts or staying inside the gym. as you go pick them up today it

will be extremely hot so no playing at the playground. poor air quality and it's best to try to stay inside and keep that air conditioning running. we will have that excessive heat warning also for antioch. we're watching spots where it will be very hot. not much of a wind. poor air quaul because a lot of those get trapped close to the ground. 113 degrees by 4:00 today. half moon bay will be very warm. now looking at temperatures there in the upper 80s today and if you plan on going swimming keep in mind the water temperatures are still in the 50s. a lot of people will be hitting the roads today. it will be hotter in san jose than vegas this afternoon. something to think about. 93 degrees in san francisco. a slight chance of some thunderstorms for sunday and monday. i'll keep an eye on that. otherwise it's going to continue to be hot into next week. mike starts out in the east bay with a sig alert. >> sky ranger, our chopper is over the scene of the crash and what's left of this truck sheared off i think by the

overcrossing at san pablo dam road. you see a couple of folks assessing what to do. a lot of cleanup. it's not just the truck on its side but the right side of the freeway. sky ranger widens out, you see the two right lanes are blocked. debris before you get there and after that scene. folks on the freeway from the top of your screen. the see the flashing lights. it's arrived but they're not going to clear that. look at the backup and debris. this is on your map. jammed up right here in san pablo. a lighter traffic flow keeping that as the only big backup. the rest of the bay moves very smoothly including the bay bridge toll plaza except for san jose. this crash is jamming up for a mile. let's check in with our live shot in san jose. they just opened one more lane. i have that confirmed.
