got confirmation the al costa boulevard on the 680 connector, that on-ramp is open and south of there is where we see lane restrictions and that may be a situation for folks traveling past that and getting towards dublin boulevard. overall the speed sensors look all right but with half of the lanes blocked it's going to be a distraction. pete suratos is out there. i hear you just got company. what's out there right now? >> reporter: good morning, mike, we're still in 680 southbound before dublin boulevard. there are still lanes blocked. you still have the big rig right there that will get towed away. as he step out of the live truck, i saw caltrans just showing up. that's good news, they need to clean up the area before they can completely reopen the lanes. let's show you some of the video from earlier. chp says it happened roughly around 2:10 a.m., that big rig i just showed you, there may have

been a malfunction in the gas tank or hit some type of debris. either way the driver lost control hitting the center divide and that's when he traveled from al costa to dublin boulevard. yet all of the spill we're talking about, the leakage there for three fourths of a mile, 70 to 80 gallons of fuel in the area. they have to block off the lanes to clear up. you have caltrans now clearing up so once they are done cleaning up, they'll clear out the lanes and hopefully that will be in the next hour. we'll continue to monitor the situation and bring you updates as they come in. we're live in dublin, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> right now switching to what we can expect weatherwise. kari, this is definitely going to be a cooler day out there. >> this is the reason why you need to watch "today in the bay" every single morning. our weather will change drastically, not only from yesterday today but also over the next few days as you head out we're seeing a very thin

layer of clouds, overall mostly clear around the bay area. and our highs today only reaching the low to mid-70s for the north bay. san francisco 59 degrees and 70 today in san jose and livermore. coming off those 90s today and we have more 90s in the forecast. that's coming up in just a few minutes. >> thank you, that fall out over ro roseanne barr's tweet storm continues. she's apologizing and dwts today in the bay bob redell is tracking reaction. she now blames her reaction on a prescription drug? >> correct, marcus, after writing that she was going to be quitting twitter, roseanne barr was back on the platform. guys, i did something unforgivable, do not defend me. it was 2:00 in the morning and i was ambien tweeting, i went too

far and it was egregious and defensible, ambien is a sleep drug. she posted new apologies last night, don't feel sorry for me, i want to apologize for hundreds of people and wonderful writers all liberal and talented actors who lost my show due to my stupid tweet and this one to valerie jarrett, i want to apologize to you, i'm very sorry to have hurt you. i hope you accept this very sincere apology. it should be noted since roseanne has been posting apology notes also retweeted a number of people who defend her and her right to free speech and criticized the abc network for canceling reboot of her sitcom, they canned the show hours after roseanne tweeted by former obama adviser valerie jarrett, comparing her as a child of the muslim brotherhood and planet of the apres.

here's what jarrett's response. >> we have to turn it into a teaching moment. i'm fine, i'm worried about all of the people who don't have a circle of fans and followers to come to their defense. the person walking down the street minding their own business and see somebody cling to their purse or every black parent i know who has a buy who has to sit down and have a conversation or talk as we call it -- >> viacom will pull reruns of the original sitcom and barr's talent agency said it would no longer represent her. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> it is 5:04. new details own who may replace a disgraced city council member. he's applying for the job and if he gets it he'll make history. agreed to appoint a replacement for caserta who resigned after

sexual harassment allegations. the council will pick a replacement based on applications and interviews. nadim has run for a council seat but lost several times. if he does land the job, he would be one of the first nonwhite councillors in the city that is less than half white. the council holds interviews on june 12th. voters will elect a new permanent counselor in november. it will be a big day if your kids go to clayton valley charter school. this is in concord. there's a controversy surrounding several administrators abruptly leaving. we don't know why. the contra costa county plans a financial audit. the interim director is hold a town hall meeting and we're putting details on the screen right now. he won't talk about the school leadership nor the spending but

we don't think that will stop parents from asking the questions. >> 5:05, the effort to recall aaron persky, a week away from the vote that will decide his future. on the stanford campus, a lot of people talking about it as well. persky handed down the six-month sentence to brock turner after he was convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman. last night the civil rights activist appeared on stanford's campus and she's credited with starting the me too movement more than a decade ago. burke did not address the recall other than saying she believes survivors can work as a constituency. stanford students say they know what's at stake. >> it's about accountable and holding someone to the standard they were elected by the constituency to represent. >> persky talked about the situation on national television yesterday. he maintains his belief public opinion should not sway the court.

>> 5:06. the u.s. summit with north korea may still officially be off. happening today, secretary of state mike pompeo will be meeting with north korea's voice chairman. that meeting takes place in new york. pompeo will speak to a former spy chief who president trump says has the power too negotiate. he has learned about the new cia report suggesting north korea has no plans to give up its nuclear weapons. >> the north koreans look for something in return on the ordinary of getting u.s. troops out of the korean peninsula or something like that, obviously this isn't going to go very far. >> the cia report does suggest some other possible concessions from north korea, including opening a fast food american burger joint, the capitol. this is a show of good will. evacuations under way in north carolina. this is individuvideo of a muds overnight. they are concerned about the imminent failure of a dam in

that area. thousands of people are in the mandatory evacuation zone. heavy rain is coming from alberto, the first named storm of the season. >> maybe you've seen them with the weather heating up, more snakes coming out of hiding. that includes rattlesnakes. pest control companies are getting more calls about the rattlesnakes, this found three on her doorstep. the snakes did not bite anyone and take a look, they were removed safely. the man who removed them for a living says as temperature rise, those snakes will look for some cooler places to hang out. >> if a snake cannot find cool weather, it will die from overheating. >> have to be more aware and reminds you. i have a lot of ivy on the side, maybe i need to cut more of that ivy out. >> just seeing that makes me chill a little bit. >> get somebody else to cut the ivy for you. >> the neighbor says she's not scared about the snake problem

but it is a reminder for her to keep her own yard clean. >> look at that. in a residential area. >> i ran across one when i was walking on the trail and jumped up -- ran a little bit then went back -- >> oh, my goodness. at least the temperature is cooling maybe they won't be trying to get to your house today. it's going to start out with some temperatures in the 50s and then we're already 11 degrees cooler now than 24 hours ago in the tri-valley. big cool being ahead as we go through the day. yesterday concord hit 95 degrees. take a look at our temperature trend for today. we go from 61 degrees to 73, not bad at all. once again compared to yesterday it's going to be in some spots about 20 degrees lower than yesterday afternoon. and we'll talk more about the cooling trend for a little while and then a warm-up but mike takes us back to the tri-valley. >> i want to show this video that pete sent from a few

minutes ago. earlier this morning, folks were trying to address the fuel spill. there was a punctured fuel tank resulting in this fuel on the roadway. southbound 680, three right lanes are blocked. you see the fuel tank, that's what punctured, not a fuel tanker, it's just a tank on a big rig. we'll take you out to the map. a live look on the roadway, pete was asked to move off the roadway as caltrans crews arrived. hopeful they can sweep up that absorb ent and clear that quickly but they have to let pete get out of there and let caltrans do its work. no slowing on the sensors but between al costa and dublin boulevard you'll find that restriction down to two lanes. the interchange itself is open. stone ridge mall and there's dublin boulevard. the rest of the commute, i see no real slowing, very easy commute aside from dublin. back to you. >> coming up here on "today in the bay," the travel season is kicking into high gear. the new airline rankings are out. did yours make the top spot? we'll tell you the ranking

coming up. >> the markets are really struggling and i'll explain why. it has to do with somebody named mr. scissors. >> that's when i started to think, this thing jumped the fence to get in here and i kind of realized at that moment, maybe i shouldn't be out here. >> dogs versus mountain lion, coming up at 5:24, the brave canixca cannines who came face to face with this angry feline. when the worst oil spill hit san francisco, first responders went to work.

and mayor gavin newsom, he went to hawaii. man: newsome left the day after the spill for a four-day vacation in hawaii. the same gavin who said his job as lieutenant governor was so dull, he only showed up for work at the state capitol one day a week, tops. gavin's not gonna work as governor.

coming up on 5:14, we start out with mostly clear skies and it's going to be much cooler today compared to yesterday. and as we take a look outside in palo alto, we'll see clouds mixing in. temperatures start out in the mid-50s and only reach the mid-60s today. yes, much cooler than yesterday. we'll talk about what's ahead as we heat back up in time for the weekend in less than five minutes. >> pete's camera is live again, this is the closure in dublin, southbound 680 with the fuel spill. caltrans crews are on the scene. we'll give you the latest on the slowing we see and also the progress coming up. happy wednesday to you, markets will try to recover from an absolute pounding yesterday. disney fell more than 2.5%, not because of roseanne, the stock was already low when we heard about that debacle but the slow ticket sales for the movie

"solo." tesla had the only green on the board despite erratic behavior from the ceo lately. the big hit came here in problems in europe. italy needs to have snap elections and it's possible the party that wins will want to withdraw from the euro, from the currency. italy, there it is, italy is the fourth largest economy in the european union. you remember the problems with greece. these are some of the same issues but in a much more powerful country. >> i know you probably don't follow italian politics, but the guy in charge until those elections happen is carlo cut relly or mr. scissors because of the way he cuts budgets. back here at home, home prices continue to rise. i know we tell you that all the time because all kinds of studies and companies want to get their name in the news. z zillow, national association of realtors do price reports. but the most trusted in my mind

is the case shiller report. the shiller in case shiller won a nobel prize. they say prices in san francisco rose 11% year over year, only seattle and las vegas grew faster. case shiller only covers the san francisco metro, not the south bay but the south bay is doing just fine. you saw the record price for the house in sunnyvale, 3 million and change for the average. somewhat larger home there. a neighbor said in the report he thought we were in a bubble. i'm not sure that's right. here are reasons where probably not in a bubble. wages and job growth very strong, number of homes available very low, very few new homes being built. in a bubble you have no underlying support. there's no reason for something. and i think you can find reasons that home prices continue to rise. >> it's crazy, really is amazing to see. >> it's extraordinary. we've been through this before. >> true. >> that one was a bubble and this one is probably not. >> good deal. thanks, scott. it is 5:16 right now.

72. we were at 72 yesterday. we'll be at 64 today. livermore also big cooling, about 23 degrees cooler than yesterday. so as we look at our oakland forecast, it will only be in the upper 50s for today and also very gusty. if you're heading out to some of the hiking trails around los gatos, it will be a cool start, 55 degrees and already at 64 at 10:00. then we'll hold the temperatures steady in the upper 60s. overall a nice day. it's going to be windy as winds rush in from the north as a cold front dips across the state. we'll see the winds at 15 to 25 miles per hour and it's bringing in some of that cooler air and let me know what your weekend plans are because we have some big changes ahead in our forecast. i'm @kari hall weather on facebook as well as twitter. look at how the temperatures change. we go from 70 degrees inland today to 68 tomorrow. to 80 on friday.

93 degrees on saturday and sunday we'll still be really hot and then cooling down a little bit for early next week. san francisco though, no major roller coaster changes here. we'll just bring it up about 10 degrees, which will make it feel very nice for the weekend. mike, you're still tracking those changes in dublin. >> now i'm thinking about 90s and where i'll avoid the weekend. my report shows a smooth drive everywhere except for dublin. dublin does have the issue, the alert issued and still shows up by chp. you see slowing now southbound coming towards al costa boulevard. then we have that fuel spill blocking lanes and heading down towards dublin boulevard. the reason the slowing shows up right here, we have the live look pete suratos is on the scene. we have a second of two traffic breaks through the area. they have all traffic stopped and caltrans i understand is sweeping debris from the roadway. first they got the lanes with traffic in it and now allowing traffic back down in through the area. this is southbound 680.

you see down to two lanes and three lanes are coned off and caltrans crews and big rig are right there. the big rig which had the fuel spill. as we get back out to the map, the reason for the slowing towards the area, live sensors show slowing after the earlier traffic break but the dublin interchange is still completely open for service. only a problem out of san ramon and in towards dublin and heading southbound towards pleasanton which is moving well. fre monlt for 880 moves nicely as well. no problem for the nimitz freeway. the backup at the bay bridge starting to form, it's 5:21. we're looking towards the north bay, southbound 101 moves smoothly through san rafael as the sun comes up. you see the silhouette looks like a nice day as well. across the bay, we're looking at westbound really picking up the volume over last 12 minutes from hayward towards the peninsula, little haze in the air but you're fine on the san mateo bridge. >> 5:21 right now, coming up next on "today in the bay," preparing for next emergency, the new money coming to one of

the bay area's biggest cities today. >> did you watch america's got talent premiere last night? mike did. i know this because i saw it on his facebook page. he shared his favorite audition. like his page and see that clip and tell us who you liked. 5:22. wishful thinking. we'll be back with more news after the break. i'm dianne feinstein and i approve this message. i support the affordable care act, and voted against all trump's attempts to repeal it. but we need to do more.

i believe in universal health care. in a public health option to compete with private insurance companies. and expanding medicare to everyone over 55. and i believe medicare must be empowered to negotiate the price of drugs. california values senator dianne feinstein

a mountain lion walked right up we've got incredible new video to show you this morning. take a look, a mountain lion walked up to a man's fence and his dogs were not too happy about it. kind of have the animal surrounded there. this happened near san bernardino, you may shall wondering a little close to be filming as well. >> that's when i started thinking, you know, this thing jumped the fence to get in here and i kind of realized at that moment maybe i shouldn't be out here. >> yep, that was his yard and decided to move away. the mountain lion eventually left as well a few minutes later. >> 5:25, that situation in hawaii is getting worse this morning. we're talking about the volcano as i see there, at least 71 homes are now gone as kilauea continues to erupt on the big island. fast moving lava is moving through the streets and nak

neighbored, at least eight fissures are active right now. >> texas governor is releasing his plan to keep schools safe. this comes after ten people were killed at santa fe high school two weeks ago. greg abbott got feedback during a series of round tables last week and met with school shooting victims as well as law enforcement. we don't know exactly what the governor is going to announce today but he is going to layout his proposal at to events. >> the story that may shock you getting prepared for the next disaster. today san francisco mayor will announce new money for emergency response. mark farrell plans to spend $44 million in new investments. >> coming up here on "today in the bay," breaking traffic news, a fuel spill causing quite a mess in the east bay. we'll give you an update and how you can avoid the backup. >> we investigate the bay area county addressing an uptick in sexual transmitted infections.

when the worst oil spill hit san francisco, first responders went to work. and mayor gavin newsom, he went to hawaii. man: newsome left the day after the spill for a four-day vacation in hawaii. the same gavin who said his job as lieutenant governor was so dull, he only showed up for work at the state capitol

one day a week, tops. gavin's not gonna work as governor.

alert before you head right now at 5:30, delays on 680 right now. you need to know about that traffic alert before you head out. full coverage on fuel spill that's blocking lanes. good morning and thanks for joining us, i'm marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia. let's get straight to mike who has been monitoring this since we came on air. >> that is the big news, overall the traffic volume is not a major issue although the meertimeer metering lights did turn on. i want to show the slowing,

unexpectedly slow south 680 through san ramon. as you pass out of the city and head towards dublin. the dublin interchange itself, i want to make sure everyone knows the dublin interchange is open but there have been changes in the last couple of minutes. pete, what are the changes we have on caltrans? >> reporter: well, the changes are they are starting the cleanup process, once they get that done the lanes will reopen. we're standing here on 68 0e southbound you've got two lanes blocked here but looks like there's three lanes that are moving as far as traffic goes. that's the good news. let's go ahead and show you some of the same video when this all took place. they are saying roughly around 2 2:10 a.m. you have a big rig hitting where the gas tank was ruptured and hit some sort of debris because there was no other car involved. that led the big rig to lose control hitting a center divide.

then you have a leak, the gas fuel leaking for about three quarters of a mile to dublin boulevard, where the cleanup process is happening, you're talking about 50 to 70 gallons of fuel. they are clearing that up. caltrans is on the scene and hoping to tow the big rig away shortly. we're showing you, this is the tow truck bed. this is the ruptured gas tank that led to all of this mess. they are moving that out. then they are going to move the big rig shortly. that's what we're monitoring. right now you've got traffic affected and we'll continue to monitor this. hopefully this is all cleared up and traffic can get back to normal in the next hour or so. we're live in dublin, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> that could make for a tough morning commute. thank you, pete. >> in the meantime, things cooling down. >> really is. it's going to be much different today and it goes from the 90s for the inland areas to the 60s and 70s today. how about that.

those locations and also working with primary physicians to make sure that they are screening for stis or stz ds. the rate of hiv declined because of medical advancements and prevention and advocacy. so the take away here, advocacy and prevention could be a key step in stem being the spread of stis and stds. they'll hear this full report. this is a preview we have this morning. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> it's 5:34. no doubt you've seen homeless encampments and many different places and today in santa rosa, they are clearing out one of those encamp. s. this is on the trail next to highway 12. there are some 80 tents in that area right now last month about 100 people were kicked out of

next 20 minutes, perhaps half hour but we haven't seen any movement by chp or other crews. we'll track that, likely to see later than 6:00. out to the maps, it's still slow down into the area from al costa to dublin boulevard. just past the dublin interchange, there's a crash all vehicles in the center divide. distractions in the area can help people's concentration. we're looking towards the rest of the contra costa county and toll plaza is the only real backup besides the slowing in dublin. look at the lighter backup than typical. fast track, look. if you bring cash, then you have a lovely pleasure of half the way. >> >> i've got to install my fast track. finally got bun. >> good for you. >> thinking about the weekend, people are not anticipating that heat we're going to see. >> it's going to be hot again a lot of people really enjoyed it for memorial day. we're going to have beach weather on saturday check that out. 93 degrees inland.

it is 5:43 on your wednesday morning. as you walk out the door, still feels like it did yesterday with a mild start and it's going to be much cooler this afternoon, not much of a rise in the temperature going from 61 degrees at 9:00. partly cloudy skies in fremont

and upper 60s today with some gusty winds. it feels like spring today but we'll be back to summer in time for the weekend. we'll look at those numbers coming up in less than five minutes. >> look at these lights, all of these headlights stopped on southbound 680 but crews are moving around. looks like they are making good progress but lanes are still shut down as chp gets back in their vehicle. we still have cones to be cleared. we're tracking this crash and right now traffic is stopped but caltrans is starting to move. we'll give you the latest update on dublin coming up. >> the next story a disturbing one out of roseville and may make you watch your kids extra closely the next time you go to a water park. police arrested serve men accused of inappropriately touching several young girls. one victim was under 14 years old and it happened on memorial day at sun flash water park. the men worked together to fine and attack the victims. the police praised the kids
