compare today the patchy cloud cover is the dense fog. look at this shot in san francisco. this is actually live. yes, this is where the city line t is. you can't really tell because fog is covering a lot of those buildings. let's see what it looks like. you can see the fog really hugging the coastline. this made its way in through hayward, areas of patchy fog as well. the reason for that is because of that fog. keeping our temperatures a little bit cooler. you highs for today though will climb into the upper 70s and low 80s for the south bay. it is 73 for oakland. further into the tri-valley we will r going to expect upper 80s. it is 86 through danville. as far as the peninsula goes keep in mind it's always a little breezy along the coast. into the city upper 60s at 68

through the north bay. 83 for sonoma at about 81 degrees. as far as your air quality we are dealing with light haze out there and moderate air quality. fortunately for us it would be worse if the smoke is expected to be over nevada. for the most part we are doing a lot better than we were about a week achlgt over the next seven days here is is a look at what you can expect heading in towards saturday and sunday. we'll notice more clearing in terms of the skies. it will get pbetter inland area as well. are you ready? >> i am. i am. we had that light labor day approach. a lot of folks aren't going in today. we have a lot of crashes to worry about. this is on 680. so you will slow. it is a light build because of

the light flow of traffic we have been talking about. another crash here is highway 4. it is a crash that occurred about 20 minutes ago. it is heading up towards antioch. that bridge repair work cleared. highway 4 no slowing shows up. another disabled vehicle coming in towards pittsburgh. it may be an issue. i think it will clear very quickly. no problem out of the north bay. the rest of cocoa county looks great. we'll watch to see if they have to turn the metering lights on. right now no back up at the toll plaza. a great flow of traffic on the roads. no delays reported. monday is a holiday. all weekend bart will have buses replaces a few portions of the oakland line. back to you. >> all of that grief looks good. thanks. coming up, end of an era.

crime wave in this neighborhood. we have reported on carjackings, stolen cars in the last month. last night residents told police that the only reason three masked men didn't enter a home here is because someone was hope and triggered the alarm. >> they back into the driveway. they jumped the fence and it so happened that the son, the young man was there and he slicked the alarm system. zbli understand that people are angry. >> so here are the changes he announced last night. he said they will respond to all business and home alarms even if they are not verified which is new and that the department will launch a proactive burglary unit. also in october they will start a street climbs unit. it is for all of san jose.

a lot of folks say they are seeing an increase of crime and lack of police response. by the way, san jose police department uses two different mapping systems for crimes. you can see what's hapg. i will post it on my twitter feeds. i'll put it up on facebook as well. today in the bay. >> certainly understand their frustrations there, thank you. we have a live look for you now. fans are arriving now to join family and friends of aretha franklin in a final farewell to the queen of soul. she will be buried today, two weeks after her death from pancreatic cancer. >> hundreds spent the night in line. the church plans to allow one thousand fans inside. it follows a week of celebration. her fans have come from far and

day can't get enough but when i start screaming fake news they have technical difficulties. >> that's pretty easy to disprove because you just saw the video from the tv camera. he also alleged the interviews he did with lester holt was doctored because this interview was conducted in 2017 and he never claimed it was doctors until now. for the record, it wasn't. he also claimed the voice on the famous access hollywood tape is his. this is after he apologized for what he said which can be confusing. i'll add a full interview with lester holt to our twitter feed.
