time ago and they said no impact on the system so far. that could have been a messy morning. mike, you've been monitoring this. >> we have. you said it's right by the b.a.r.t. tracks, sort of under the b.a.r.t. tracks. there were two located there. the one around 41st is near the station of fruit veil. b.a.r.t. service unaffected. 18 trains running on time, the two spots addressed by oakland fire. you may have seen some smoke but right now the flames that you saw in the first pictures are gone so that shouldn't be a big distraction for the nimitz. easy drive toward the bay bridge. there's construction through hercules for westbound 80 and 880 construction traveling in order through hayward. we have no slowing to this scene so that's the good news. we'll send it back to kari for the forecast today. >> looks pretty good as we look at cupertino and our temperatures, how things will go

throughout the day. 50s as you head out the door, mid-70s by early afternoon with highs in san jose reaching 79 degrees. little bit cooler than yesterday and still warm for some of our inland spots. we'll get a look at all of our microclimates and the cooler week ahead. it's coming up in a few minutes. >> we'll check back with you, thank you. breaking íbuj in the north bay, brush fire continues to burn this morning, it got larger overnight. this is aerial video that we're seeing here and shot from a distance, showing the line of fire in marin county. the fire burning outside samuel taylor park near lagunitas. it started a little before 8:00 last night and at least 100 acres burned. the fire is just 10% contained and all new overnight our crews spoke to people forced to evacuate with their animals. >> i packed up my things and my

maximum capabilities of the system. we have to make sure we design our warning systems, our warning plans to fit within that capability. >> it's part of an effort to improve emergency notifications. during the deadly october wildfires, officials say they sent the so co alert, but fire damaged infrastructure, making delivery impossible in many cases and they say not many people signed up for at lerts. >> the call came in at 6:21. >> reporter: it took 21 minutes for virginia bagley to get the test alert. >> i think it's really important that they get the word out and so if it works, kudos, and i think testing it right now is the way to do it. >> reporter: planners say it took nearly three hours to complete the call list. 51% of the calls connected to a person or voice mail. 49% of the numbers were called more than once and never connected. some of those numbers may be disconnected, but planners are now looking into why alerts in

those cases were not delivered. jean elliott, "today in the bay." 4:34 right now and today america pauses to mark 17 years since the 9/11 terror attacks, and as americans have done each year since the attack, ceremonies and moments of silence to honor the victims and first responders. first let's show you a live picture from ground zero in new york, and you'll remember there that that's where that first plane struck the world trade center tower a little before 6:00 a.m. our time where the survivors and many of the family members will gather once again for the reading of the names. and new this morning, menlo park firefighters sent us this video showing their firefighters doing the work in the aftermath of the attacks in new york. later today president trump will speak at services there in shanksville, pennsylvania, this is where the memorial now stands, passengers on united flight 93 thwarted the terrorist attackers there as they tried to hijack that plane. that plane was headed toward

are doing for safety but at the same timer this ignoring exposed pipeline and no survey of our line. >> as of right now pg&e cannot cut the trees down. citizens group filed two lawsuits last year to keep the utility from acting. happening today, two leaders in the south bay school district under fire, will meet in front of a judge today. they hopefully want to settle a dispute involving claims of harassment and intimidation. the school superintendent was recently granted a temporary restraining order against school board trustee hakan tran. bauer accused tran of verbally harassing her and making threats. nbc bay area previously reported tran called her corrupt. bauer meanwhile is leading the charge to remove the board which has been accused of making sweetheart deals with contracting companies. the restraining order expires today and the judge will determine if it should be made a

good morning, i'm meghan at cnbc global headquarters. here are the top headlines. wall street is indicated to open lower this morning, a mixed session for the markets yesterday. the dow slipped but the nasdaq and s&p 500 snapped the four-day losing streak on a rebound in tech stocks. the sector fell nearly 3% last week on concerns about tighter regulation for facebook and twitter. the dow closing down 59 points to 25857 the nasdaq rising 21 to 7924. major u.s. airlines including delta, american, southwest and jetblue are waiving change fees at airports that could be in the path of hurricane florence. that means passengers will be able to change their travel without paying extra charges which usually can run $200 or more. delta is also capping fares for flights from some affected cities. american is extending change fee waivers for travelers flying to or from more than a dozen airports in the caribbean ahead of hurricane isaac.

and the $5 footlong may soon disappear for good at subway restaurants. the ceo of the chain tells "usa today" starting this month franchisees will decide whether to keep the iconic sub on the menu. many weren't happy because they don't make as much profit from the discounted sandwich. subway's restaurants are 100% franchise owned. back to you. >> as a college student i can't tell you how many times that $5 foot long fed me. >> it was a pretty clever campaign. >> it really was. >> thank you very much. coming up here on "today in the bay," another nice morning ahead here. >> we're going to see temperatures staying cool today. little bit cooler than yesterday. let's head over to campbell and see our temperature trend for today, upper 50s at 8:00, noontime temperature 71. 76 early afternoon, we'll get a look at all of our microclimates coming up. >> we'll look at your commute, a micro commute, small.

here's san jose, a little shot of 101 at 680 with no problems. i have 680 up in the contra costa county area. new report we'll give you that coming up. america

good morning to you on this tuesday morning. look at the transamerica building there, nice and clear for the most part, a little cloudy there in the background, but hey, it's tuesday. >> you can see! >> yes. normally you can't see anything. >> we'll get more sunshine in

san francisco today. it's going to be a nice one but windy and cool in spots so we are looking at cooler air all across the bay area. we're going to+ñ bring those temperatures down over the next couple of days. here is a live look outside in emeryville this morning. already busy, but at least we don't have to deal with patches of fog and once again a lot of sunshine, improved air quality today. as you make your way out the door for the morning commute from pittsburgh, we're going to see those temperatures in the upper 50s by 6:00 and then going from the upper 50s to 68 degrees at 10:00. if you will be heading out a little bit later it's still going to be nice and clear. the high temperature for today san francisco will reach up to 67 degrees. 73 in oakland, and in martinez today 85. also 85 in santa rosa, and in morgan hill today, reaching 83 degrees. as you are getting dressed this morning it's still a day for a t-shirt and shorts and trying to keep cool, but of course, this morning, you might need a jacket to start and it's going to get

cooler in the forecast. here is the reason why. we have this trough, this elongated area of low pressure, you can see the clouds and then here is the center of low pressure here, the swirls of clouds up near vancouver. this will start to make its way farther to the south, as we head into the day tomorrow, bringing in a change in our temperatures, some cooler air, and also more cloud cover. by tomorrow morning we'll start to see clouds moving again and it will be partly to mostly cloudy for tomorrow, with our high temperatures for some of our warmer spots only reaching the upper 70s. and it will be breezy because of those winds shifting and then coming in from the north it's going to bring in some cooler temperatures from wednesday through friday, and then it starts to warm up a little bit, but not by much. we're in for some very nice weather over the next few days. san francisco staying cool, and windy, a little bit more sunshine as we get some drier air moving in, kind of mixing out that marine layer and we're going to see the temperatures continuing in the low to mid- s mid-60s.

mike, now you're tracking a new issue in walnut creek. >> i am, kari, and i'm concerned because that's the portion of contra costa county which feeds down out of concord and antioch and pittsburg bay point, that whole stretch where we see the first commute. looking around the bay it's an easy drive for the speed sensors. over here southbound 680 right around the truck scales report of a vehicle but it's not pulled over to the truck scales, it's in the middle of the freeway, reported a few minutes ago and i haven't seen any slowing develop south of the 242 merge with south 6 of 80. oh there it just showed up, we saw turn from green to yellow approaching. we'll track that, so far out of antioch, pittsburg bay point traffic flows smoothly. new issue on 880 in oakland, i'll check that, around the oak exit there, i don't see any but it did just appear and more traffic in the area, the cash lane starting with a small backup right now at the bay bridge toll plaza and we'll follow this as they open all cash lanes over the next few minutes. back to you. >> thanks, mike.
