friday! live look at san francisco - where many people in and welcome back. you're watching "today in the bay" at 4:43 for you this morning and it is friday. take a look at this beautiful look out in san francisco right there. many people in and around the city are talking about that roar and rumble from yesterday afternoon. i want to you take a listen. they're back, we're talking about the blue angels, thrilled people across san francisco yesterday this is doing the practice run for fleet week air show. they also might have rattled a few dogs in the you've seen the,

that air show runs today through sunday, starting each day at noon. the angels will likely take flight between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. also the parade of ships will enter san francisco bay today starting at 11:00 this morning. >> all my family and i spent a couple of days up in san francisco, down in the south bay on fall break and we saw all the setup kind of all the things rolling in and the hotel prices starting to go up, we said it's time to go home. >> that time. >> go in, you come out. that's what a lot of the bay area will be doing, getting ready for all of the things going on and it's going to be a busy weekend. let's get you started on this friday morning with a look at those temperatures that are much cooler right now compared to yesterday at this time thanks to that cold front that moved through. in fact, in napa, it is 17 degrees cooler now than yesterday when you were getting ready to head off to work and in oakland, 4 degrees cooler.

san jose about eight degrees cooler now. with the cooler morning as you get ready to head out in antioch that morning drive you may be turning on the heater. it will be in the mid-50s through about 8:00, mostly clear skies and then we see our temperatures heading into the mid-60s later on this morning. we're heading up to about 79 degrees in concord, and 77 in livermore. also 77 will be the high in morgan hill, and in oakland 70 degrees, and as you take a look at the seven-day forecast at the bottom of the screen we will have some slightly warmer temperatures on the way. as you get started right now this morning you need a jacket, and make sure you're wearing something nice and comfortable. you'll probably want to spend a lot more time outside, compared to the past couple of days, when it was so hu it' a nice day to go hiking so as you head out and make plans around the east bay to go out to some of the hikpera res in the upper 50s, still cool as we head through 10:00 and a lot of sunshine, some pleasant weather throughout the day, and as we go through the weekend, the main

concern here will be the winds picking up, coming in from the north and with those gusty winds, we may have an increased fire danger between sunday and monday, high temperatures reaching the low 80s and it does cool down a few more degrees headed into the middle of next week. for san francisco, also windy for the end of the weekend, as our temperatures head up into the low 70s, and then we'll see the return of the clouds and fog and cooler temperatures for wednesday and thursday. now mike, you were talking about the closures on 17. >> that's right, highway 17, so that's the first closure we'll talk about, kari, the first one. highway 17 good news. the overnight closure has cleared in time for our show, just in time to get some southb. blossom hill overcrossing still blocked so you'll cross 17 lark or using los gatos he outh. over here a smooth drive for the south bay and peninsula no problem. the other closure, yes, we were talking about two has been reported over here for kirker

pass road. if you don't know where kirker pass road is, good for you. you don't have to worry about this. if you cut through between highway 4 over toward 242 and 680 toward concord we have a crash involving what i'm told is a horse trailer at concord pavilion. horses are involved as well and it does not sound like they are in good condition at the scene so that will be an issue at the intersection right near the concord pavilion near myrtle. bailey road will cut throughraft it's okay but highway 4 takes you to 242 and 680 which may be a smoother drive. we'll continue to follow that story and see how that affects contra costa county. the rest of the area moves smoothly to the bay bridge without any problems. in the city we talked about fleet week. lot of folks continue to come in through the weekend, want to get to the ships and the air show off the embarcadero the ship tours and the bay bridge taking the folks from the east bay and that travels toward the fremont

street closure and some mapping programs are using that as the route but you can't travel there because the trans bay transit center has the closure at fremont street. you have to take a wider berth but don't take it too wide it takes you to the congestion to golden gate park. lots to navigate this weekend. 4:48 for you. repairs are under way for the trans bay transit center in san francisco but it won't come soon enough to reopen fremont street for the weekend. >> up to 1 million people will be on san francisco's waterfront for fleet week festivities and later we'll look at the possible traffic impact. another story is also emerging at the same time, it is the investigation into what caused those two beams to crack. san francisco mayor london breed and oakland mayor libby schaaf are calling for overnight. the authority is looking into what happened and the mtc is helping to oversee that probe.

dr. jill biden tonight will provide a keynote speech at an event in san francisco. it's happening at the bentley reserve on battery street. that event is focusing on the new effort to convert pier 39's aquarium of the bay ton conservn organizers envision a living museum focused on the environment. columbus day is coming up on monday and the city of san jose is observing the holiday sort of. city worker also have the day off, but it's not called columbus day anywhere. remember earlier this year the city removed a statue of columbus after the debate over his treatment of indigenousre r all columbus day references. one concord shop is closing its doors. the reason, rodents. >> monuments wine and spirits, looks a little different now, all of that food covered in plastic because the shop is temporarily closed because it failed a food inspection. it faces major violations
