weekend. >> right around the corner. thanks for starting your morning with us, i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm laura garcia. everybody is excited for friday and we should have pretty decent weather. >> marcus, speaking of that haze you were talking about, there is an air quality advisory in place because of haze. that's because of active wildfires burning in southern oregon and that's going to affect parts of the bay area, so just be mindful of that as you head into the afternoon. but right now san jose 54 degrees. we will see some of those low clouds already creeping in as a matter of fact. by 12:00 we'll be in the upper 70s. we'll keep the sunshine around and then we've got a couple of changes maybe even into your late overnight hours. we'll talk about that coming up in just a bit. let's send things over to mike. we're looking at a smooth flow of traffic around most of these sensors here, all green. we're following some debris over on the bay bridge. 580 approaching north livermore

avenue where an earlier crash was reported, we do have some activity and slowing. flashing lights must have arrived. i'm hoping the tow truck has arrived to help clear this because we see that commute starting to build. even on a friday, even early we see that slowing. but aside from that things are moving smoothly around the rest of the bay. here's the peninsula side with an easy light drive, north 101 the taillights and south past university and inspect towards silicon valley. several streets are shut down in the east bay right now. police are looking for a suspect. >> "today in the bay's" pete suratos has arrived. what can you tell us so far? >> reporter: good morning to you. we are trying to get more details to confirm exactly what took place, but we're standing on 23rd avenue. you can see the street is blocked off between 15th street and foothill boulevard. now, it isn't too far from garfield elementary school in the area, so not sure exactly how all of this is going to impact school over there in that

area. but you see there, there's quite a police scene here. we're working to get more details on exactly why this is blocked off. this was not too long ago, you had the designated arrest team showing up here, so we're not exactly sure why they are here but you saw a pretty big force here not too long ago. we did get a 911 alert there was a possible foot chase. shots were fired, no officers were injured and a subject may be barricaded in this area. we still need to confirm that information with oakland police as we're just getting here to the scene. we'll take you back out here live to this police scene. we'll try to track someone down with police and have another update for you at 5:30. we're live here in oakland, pete suratos for "today in the bay." out in the open, the san jose diocese releasing the name of 15 priests with credible accusations of sexual abuse of

children. the instant reaction has been why were some of them reassigned after they were accused, and in three cases convicted. kris sanchez joins us from the san jose diocese with that reaction. good morning, kris. >> reporter: hi there, marcus. people reached out immediately, some of them really shocked to hear that some of these priests served in the parishes where they grew up, particularly after they were convicted. now, of the 15 priests who were on the diocese list of accused priests, only five are still living. we talked with one who maintains that he is innocent and that he left the ministry of his own accord. another, lionel noya was convicted in 1976 and went to jail for three years, but then still went on to three different churches in san jose between 1978 and 2002. toro was a registered sex offender in 1983, if you can believe that, and yet still served in several parishes in morgan hill and palo alto four years after that.

vicky nguyen pushed the bishop at wednesday's listening session about whether he personally helped cover up reports of abuse by priests. >> that's absolutely untrue. absolutely. >> so you're saying the church is not sheltering any other priests? >> absolutely not, no. >> do you think this current bishop, bishop mcgraw, has been involved personally in covering up any reports of abuse? >> yeah. i like him. i consider him a friend. >> reporter: that survivor says that his parents reported abuse by father joseph pritchard at st. martin's church in san jose and no one so much as wrote it down. records show that pritchard was transferred to st. nicholas in los altos but up until the day he died, he never faced criminal charges. those are just some of the stories coming out of this landmark release of names here in the san jose diocese. but we have a lot more stories

on our website, nbcbayarea.com. if you want to take another look at that list, you can find that there. you can also find an interactive map of where these priests served and all the churches that are linked to them so you can ask yourself or perhaps the people you love some of those tough questions about what happened back then. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> a bold move by the diocese but hopefully this pushes toward the road toward healing. thank you, kris. it is 5:05. we have a follow-up for you to the scene that played out for hundreds of families in the area around this small patch of land that you see right here where a chevron gas pipeline sits. things should be back to normal after fears the pipeline would blow. no doubt you were following this story with us yesterday morning if you were watching "today in the bay." all homes in a half-mile radius were evacuated after a grass fire burned into the pipeline vault. authorities lifted those evacuations yesterday afternoon. some families were only

returning to their homes late last night having endured a long and difficult 24 hours. >> and we slept there until 4:00 in the morning. my daughter was in her car next to us and then we said the kids need to lay down. >> as for the exact cause, that's still not known, but firefighters say a smaller pipeline in the vault was punctured. pg&e crews have been repairing a downed power line. investigators are not saying if that may have triggered the grass fire. new this morning, san francisco police are cracking down on drug dealing. officers are focusing patrols on the tenderloin, mid-market and south market areas. the past week 158 arrests were made. police have also seized more than 125 pounds of narcotics, half a million dollars in drug money, several guns as well as assault rifles. a dangerous incident at the oakland zoo's tiger pen is prompting security changes. we showed you the cell phone video earlier this week of a

visitor climbing the outer wall by the pen. after reviewing the video, zoo officials say they're going to add more foot patrols around the grounds. they also note the visitor climbed the public barrier, which is separate from the 18-foot tall fence around the actual tiger enclosure. the visitor said they were trying to get a pair of glasses. >> scary there. 5:07 for you right now. a popular street festival in oakland is being suspended. this is because of crime concerns. you may have heard of it, first friday monthly party won't happen next month. >> in a letter on the event website, the first friday team says the main reason for the cancellation is a gun battle that took place after the october event. although it happened about three hours after the festival ended and several blocks away, organizers say safety is something they take very seriously. new security measures will be in place when first fridays return in december. speaking of first fridays, this is the first friday possibly of the rest of your life as a near billionaire. >> right now a lot of people are

probably dreaming of hitting it big with the mega millions. a lot of us all. our pool has a whole newsroom of people trying to get in on this hoping to hit tonight's near billion dollar mega millions jackpot. right now it's sitting at $970 million, a mega millions record for you. if you still haven't gotten your tickets, you may plan to buy more. you have until 7:45 tonight. that's 15 minutes before the drawing. >> i still have to go get my solo ticket. i am in a couple of office pools, though. it's 5:08 and your temperatures are going to be a lot warmer today in some spots but normal in others, so let's talk about the nice little spread we've got going on. san jose predicting a high of 83 degrees, but it's really the area through concord, pittsburgh, danville, where we're going to see possibly our warmest day of the week so far. concord a high of 88 degrees. check out oakland, though, 75 degrees, so we're still fairly seasonable through oakland and

hayward, but we're going to be seeing a couple of changes as we head towards the weekend. san mateo 75, daly city 69, san francisco 69. mill valley 79. now, today we're not seeing as much fog, we're seeing a couple of reports of possible fog down through the salinas area but for now the marine layer is pretty shallow so not seeing as much activity through there. as far as the skies, pretty clear through the south bay. wind speeds nice and calm and we're expecting wind speeds to remain calm through the weekend. it's going to make it an ideal weekend to spend outdoors. i'll talk about the temperatures saturday and sunday in just a bit. let's check in with mike. >> we're looking at a friday traffic flow. we see a smooth, easy drive out of the south county through the south bay peninsula. across the bridge there's a nice flow of traffic. west 580 in livermore still some slowing from a crash. that crash was sticking out into

the fast lane over there. over here is where pete just did his live report, 27th avenue knee 23rd street. that was the southern intersection there near garfield park. it's not far from foothill boulevard. pete is checking on the exact perimeter and i'll let you know if foothill boulevard is heavily impacted, but so far we haven't seen any problems or heard about any from local pd for that matter. a smooth drive approaching the bay bridge. that orange registers a little fog around the north bay and down toward novato. over here 101, the freeway is moving very smoothly. back to you. it is 5:10 right now. coming up, as scooters return to the streets of san francisco and other cities in the bay area, we are taking a closer look at the possible dangers they can create. plus we all know that rihanna loves to work, work, work, work, work, but allegedly

not for the nfl. why the music superstar will not be performing at the super bowl. that story coming up for you at 5:25. you're watching "today in the bay." eleni kounalakis owns this building.

profited millions from tobacco, oil, and wall street. as a rich developer, she violated clean water laws.

now she's trying to buy this election. the lt. governor's office isn't for sale. i'm dr. ed hernandez. as state senator, i worked across party lines. held drug corporations accountable. invested in schools and middle-class jobs. our campaign's people powered by firefighters, teachers and nurses. because i'll put you first - not big money. 5:13. check out the beautiful lights in the city right now. we've got pretty clear conditions through san francisco. temperatures once again starting out in the 40s and the 50s, but finding out what's possibly maybe even 90s, coming up in just a bit.

as vianey shows you the san francisco high rises, i'll show you the san francisco bridge high rise. low clouds around the bay might be an issue but we also show a smooth flow of traffic. good morning, i'm jackie deangelis at the cnbc global headquarters. here are today's top business headlines. wall street is pointed modestly higher ahead of the opening bell. stocks fell sharply yesterday as the market october struggles continue. among reasons for the sell-off, worries about the u.s./china trade war, rising interest rates and lingering concerns about whether big tech stocks are overvalued. the dow closed down 327, 25,379. the dow dropped more than 4% today. the nasdaq falling 157 points to 7485, it's down nearly 7% in october. and elon musk tweeting last night that tesla is now selling a less expensive version of the model 3. it starts at $45,000 and comes with a midrange battery that can

go 260 miles per charge. tesla has promised a $35,000 model 3, but that's been shelved until next year. musk says the actual cost of the car is closer to 35k when you factor in federal and state tax credits, more than 31k with the gas savings. you do have to take delivery by the end of the year to get the full federal tax credit. uber is testing an on demand staffing service that will let companies recruit temporary workers like security guards and waiters for events. it's been working on the project over the past several months in chicago after previous trial runs in los angeles. uber works could help current drivers pick up a few extra bucks when demand for rides is lower than usual. >> thanks, jackie. 5:15 for you right now. dockless scooters are back on the sidewalks in san francisco, but safety still remains a top concern. >> some say the scooters are dangerous as a nuisance because

they can go as fast as 15 miles per hour. across the country at least two people have been killed in scooter accidents so far. a scooter rider in d.c. was killed when he was hit by an suv. and in dallas, a father is mourning the loss of his 24-year-old son. >> they're very dangerous and i wouldn't recommend people being on them. >> in response, almost all the electric scooter companies have offered to give away free helmets. one has helped to fund new infrastructure including new street lanes. new this morning, a live look at sfo. all of those extra fees to fly we always talk about, it looks like they're not going anywhere but up. alaska airlines is the latest carrier to raise its bag fee. it's going from $25 to $30. this is for the first bag, as of december 15th. this matches recent bag fee hikes by other major airlines, including jetblue, american and united. there's still one major carrier that does not charge you for

those bags and that's southwest airlines. >> just if you want to get away. >> i like that one. 5:15 for you right now. some things never die, others refuse to die in the process of entertaining millions. >> does the name michael myers ring a bell? get ready to get scared out of your seats. michael myers is back. we're talking about the classic halloween movie franchise which starred jamie lee curtis back in 1978. hard to believe that was 40 years ago. today the tenth sequel opens nationwide. curtis is back reprising her role. i didn't know there had been that many of them. i remember the original and maybe a couple after that. why can't they get that guy? >> you can't kill the dead. >> they're having a sitdown and discussing it with him this time, using their words. >> i just hope this one is scary. >> are you guys going to see see

it? >> no. >> i'm not into scary movies but i feel like i should go see it. it might be the last one. probably not. >> we'll wait outside and scare you. >> i'm more scared of spirit movies. that scares me the most. now, if you are going to be watching a movie today, you know, enjoy the sunshine before you head to the movie theaters because there's going to be plenty of it. san francisco, 52 degrees, wind speeds at about 7 miles per hour. and if you are like marcus, you're going to watch a scary movie, maybe you're like me where you like to watch cartoons after to clear your mind of all that scary stuff. temperatures will be 54 degrees, wind speeds calm in san jose and not really a factor. as you head in towards your afternoon, which means you will get to enjoy a very lovely lunch and even a dinner. towards 11:00 a.m. 68 degrees. look at that sunshine, it lingers by 1:00 to 78 degrees. as i mentioned, wind speeds

right now, napa, concord, all through oakland, notice less than 5 miles per hour. a nonevent for your friday afternoon. temperatures are in the 40s and 50s for now but will be warming up quite nicely. now, something you will have to kind of be mindful of even though it's going to be sunny, i know a lot of folks will spend time outdoors, there is an air quality advisory in effect and that's because we're seeing some haze and smoke from the oregon fires that are burning in southern oregon, that's making its way down affecting portions of the bay area. another thing if you're heading out to the beach because you're going to have fantastic beach weather this weekend is you're seeing dangerous waves today, upwards of 6 feet along the coastline. there is a hazard still in effect. if you're not the best swimmer, just kick it on the sand. saturday and sunday, 68 degrees, into san francisco 67. monday, tuesday and wednesday we're still monitoring what appears to be not one, but two systems that unfortunately seem to be getting weaker in terms of

bringing us rain chances into the bay area. on monday the system still appears to be pretty far up north, which means it's going to decrease our rain chances and then we get an additional system that creeps on in on thursday, and that one also looks to be more centered, off to the far northern california portion. so we will be seeing at least a nice decrease in temperatures. look at those daytime highs. i'm ready for more fall-like temperatures. what about you, mike? >> i was inspired pie your pumpkin spice latte colored sweater today. there's seasonal fog here at the golden gate bridge. we have the low clouds and fog, basically the difference is if it's touching the grounding or not. it's not a problem for these folks driving over. we are ridegistering a little me cloud cover coming down through novato, no problems heading south into santa rosa. in oakland, that's the activity

we told you. pete suratos continues to follow the police activity near garfield park and there's crash activity westbound 580 approaching north livermore. there is now slowing that kind of blends in with the slower drive coming out of the altamont where folks join together with 205 and 580, so that may be a factor, still sticking out into the fast lane. just waiting for a flatbed tow truck. the tri-valley and east bay look really good. san jose camera northbound, there's no problem. green sensors all the way through the south county or up from the santa cruz side. here's 880 through from you monta -- fremont showing you how light it is. coming up next, it's what people will be talking about this morning. superstar rihanna reportedly tells the nfl she will not perform at the super bowl halftime show. her decision has a bay area connection. we'll explain, next. on twitter, mike is inviting you to join him out on the town this weekend to create the

cigarette maker is targeting young people through social networking. the company is called juul and it's based in san francisco. a new study by the university of pittsburgh finds at least one-quarter of those following juul on twitter are underage and those retweets are exposing even more teens to the ads. experts believe the more young people that are exposed to this kind of marketing, the more likely they are to use e-cigarettes. a pop superstar showing support to former 49er colin kaepernick. "us weekly" reports rihanna declined an offer to headline the upcoming halftime show of the super bowl. a source told the magazine she said no because she doesn't agree with the nfl's stance on players kneeling. maroon 5 will instead headline the show. kaepernick was the first player to kneel during the national anthem in protest of police brutality and racial inequality. he hasn't played since the 2016 season and has filed a grievance against the league. this weekend, the 49ers will unveil two statues honoring a moment that defines their franchise.

we're talking about "the catch." >> the 350-pound statues of montana and clark will be placed 23 yards apart just as they were during that play back in 1982. they will be placed in front of the levi's stadium on sunday. the catch helped propel the niners to their first super bowl and launched their dynasty. clark lost his battle with als in june. >> he was one of those guys that just had a big heart, super, super friendly and nice, obviously good-looking. he was a hard worker, never complained about anything on the field, off the field the same way. even till the last days that i saw him. >> now, that statue is part of a series of tributes planned for clark this sunday, including a new nbc bay area special. join us for "hero in the end zone, dwight clark" right after sunday night football. well, it's still the hot ticket in town. >> we'll see.

who's not here this weekend. the 24-hour temperature change shows not a big variance in terms of the temperatures but i want to point out something. we've been waking up to pretty dense fog mainly in the north bay. but not as much cloud cover, not as many low clouds and definitely not seeing as much fog. but as we head in towards the afternoon, any cloud cover that is kind of lingering out there, it looks like a lot is out over the water. morning commute will shape out nicely. we'll see clear skies, you don't have to worry about any rain or dense fog at least for today and the temperatures will be in the 50s. i don't even think you need a heater. 50s, mike, does that call for a heater? >> no, i don't think so. just rub your hands together and jump around a little bit if you get cold. these folks are huddling together a little bit. this is the bay bridge toll plaza obviously and it's friday obviously. this is a little more backup than we sometimes see, so i do think the metering lights will be turned on. we see fastrak and the backup

off the 880 overcrossing. it's lighter for the cash lanes. we don't have that much traffic coming out of the maze but we are watching that. some fog registering. maybe some fog for the north bay. that incident we talked about up here is not on the nimitz or 580, it's over off on city streets. that's in oakland with police activity. that's one of our big stories. i handing that one right back to you. and that breaking news, several streets are shut down in the east bay right now. s.w.a.t. teams are out and it seems that police are looking for a suspect. >> pete suratos has been on the scene since 5:00 a.m. what can you tell us so far? >> reporter: good morning to you, laura and marcus. i wish i could tell you more on what's taking place here. we've reached out to oakland police. i haven't got many details but they're hoping to give us an update at some point. we're here at 22nd avenue and foothill. there are police cars blocking off this area. of course we showed you over on 23rd avenue you have the street

taped off due to the police activity. now, i want to show you some video. this was right before our last reports, before our viewers just tuning in. this was what we saw when we showed up. it looked like an armored truck showing up to the scene. i was told by an officer that it's a d.a.t. or designated arrest team truck that showed up for this incident. now, according to some of the information we're getting that we need to confirm, it was from a 911 alert that there were reports about a police foot chase in this area, shots fired in the area, and then a subject is barricaded. but of course we're still working to confirm those details. let's take it back out here live to the scene. the situation here in oakland, we'll continue to monitor this and hopefully have more details and an update in the next hour. live here in oakland, pete suratos for "today in the bay." we have additional breaking news. scare on the high seas involving the uss ronald reagan air carrier. a navy helicopter crashes, injuring sailors.

it happened this morning in the philippine sea. we don't yet know the number of sailors injured, but we do know that no one died. it happened on the flight deck a short time after the helicopter lifted off. the navy is not indicating the extent of the damage so far, but the crash is not supposed to impact operations. a follow-up now on a story that we first reported last month. an arrest in an apparent road rage attack on an uber driver in the south bay. adam stone is accused of attempted murder. this happened during the morning commute along highway 87 near capital expressway in san jose. investigators say that stone pulled off of the side of the road where the uber driver was, stabbed him and then drove off. chp officers arrested stone late yesterday. it is 5:34 right now. tonight hundreds of high school football players throughout the bay area will play under the bright lights of their home field. but for students at one south bay high school, friday night lights is still just a pipe dream. new this morning, and only on

"today in the bay," bob railway d -- bob riddell at the high school. >> reporter: the bulldogs aren't allowed permanent lights on their football field because of deer, fox, bobcats and coyotes, even though the main campus is located in morgan hill. the football field is located in a green belt near coyote creek within the city of san jose, so the campus sits right there on the city border. the city of san jose won't allow any permanent structures, including lights, out of concerns for the local wildlife. so this is how they have hosted football games for the past several years with temporary bleachers and porta-potties with games played during the day on saturday. when they donated the land to the school, the city of san jose sued to keep permanent

structures off the football field and through a settlement got the district to agree. the district is now trying to get the city to change its mind. talks are ongoing. in this letter that you can see, local and environmental groups argue that the lights and loud noise would disrupt feeding and migratory patterns of wildlife that travel along the coyote creek corridor. >> i don't get the feeling counsel members have been willing to explore this. we're moving forward to see if anything is possible. i certainly can't make any promises and i'm not sure if it will be possible. >> it's hard because it's very expensive to rent bleachers, portable bleachers. it's very expensive to rent lights. they would love to have friday night lights. >> reporter: talks between the school district, the city environmental groups continue. sergio jimenez, whose district covers the football field, is trying to see if there's a path forward. you heard him say that in the sound bite there, a path forward

to allow the school to get its permanent structures while still protecting wildlife. as you heard him mention, not sure that's possible. reporting live here, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks a lot, bob. continuing coverage for you, it's looking more and more like the foreign-born spouse of people working in the u.s. on an h1b visa will be banned from working themselves. that's been a big priority for the trump administration. "the mercury news" reporting the white house put out a notice indicating that the new rule will likely take effect next month. if you live in petaluma, don't be alarmed if you see smoke later today. the fire department will conduct a controlled burn on several small plots of grass near the ellis creek water facility. smoke will be viewable throughout the day. do not call 911 if you see smoke in that area. riders heading to the

downtown berkeley b.a.r.t. station will be greeted with an entirely new entrance and upgrades to the station itself. that station is back open this morning. it was closed for two years for a $13 million renovation. this is a time lapse video of the workers there taking down the old brick rotunda and putting up the new glass structure. upgrades to the station include a sleek new entrance, bus shelters and l.e.d. lights to increase the safety there. mike, a great way to start the commute. >> thank you for explaining that was a time lapse. that was concerning how much they were exerting themselves. berkeley b.a.r.t. station open and b.a.r.t. on time this morning. no delays reported, good stuff. south bay, peninsula, east bay, tri-valley, almost everywhere comple completely in the green. a slight build in volume coming out of the altamont. on 580 the crash has cleared from the lanes and this

it's a huge celebration. there will be street vendors, i'm assuming face painting and a lot of those altars set for the loved ones that passed away. 80 degrees, plenty of sunshine right around the time it's set to open. it will still be in the 60s but warm up into the 80s. as far as the rest of the bay area, the coast will linger into the upper 60s, bay and inland we're also keeping 80s around. 81 for the bay, 84 for inland areas. that high pressure will continue to dominate keeping us sunny. as we head in towards sunday, we do have an approaching system and that could mean low overnight clouds into sunday night and early monday morning. as you know when we see low clouds, we do start to notice patchy fog along the coast. inland 81. your weekend should not be affected by the possibility of rain. that's more into next week. as i mentioned, great, great beach days. look at this, clear skies, temperatures climbing into the 70s. and we do still have that beach hazard in effect for today

criticized them for their sexual lifesty lifestyle. when the two spoke with a manager at the hotel, they claim that the manager turned a blind eye to the mistreatment. >> this person, i would assume, she's getting this -- she's able to do this because she's getting this type of mentality from her supervisors and the culture that's going on at this particular hotel. >> now, the hotel confirmed that he was indeed a guest. the lawsuit claims the humiliating experience made him kind of -- left him in emotional distress. it's not the first time the ritz carlton has been accused of discrimination. last year leslie jones accused the hotel of discriminating against african-americans. so far the hotel is not commenting on the lawsuit. if you love canned tuna, you might have been paying too much. a san diego company is pleading guilty to price fixing. starkist faces a fine of up to

$100 million. they were accused of conspiring to keep canned tuna prices artificially high between 2010 and 2013. new video for you here. what does this look like to you? an army helmet or maybe some unusual bowling ball? well, a farmer in central valley discovered it last saturday in their orchard. it turns out that this is from outer space. it's space junk that made its way through the atmosphere and then crashed down. deputies contacted the vandenberg air force base and it's from a communications satellite. it went up 20 years ago and recently re-entered the earth's atmosphere. the jaguar and tigers at the big cat rescue in tampa gorged themselves on gourds this week. the pumpkins were filled with chicken to satisfy the carnivores.

a rescue representative says going after the pumpkins brings out the cats' natural instincts and provides some mental stimulation. they're just like big kitty cats. really big. >> pumpkin/chicken combo. >> to each their own. >> that's quite the casserole. all right, we're looking forward to the forecast for today. >> we are. it's fall, we've got pumpkins but it's not going to feel that way with the temperatures so enjoy your pumpkin spice latte if you like those things. i'm not a big fan personally, but enjoy. temperatures in the 40s for the north bay, 43 in santa rosa. napa at 45. oakland 50 degrees and down through san jose also in the 50s. you will start to notice if you're driving towards the city or through santa rosa that we're starting to see a couple of low clouds. as that sun begins to come up,

something else you're going to notice is a little haze. you can see the orangey tint or color in the sky. there is an air quality advisory that has been issued because we're starting to get some drifting smoke and haze from oregon fires that are burning in southern oregon, which is why it's made its way down through the bay area. so if you suffer from any respiratory issues or plan to be outside and you notice yourself getting a little irritated with the air quality, just make sure to limit outdoor activity and be safe out there. microclimate highs today aside from that will be absolutely warm. san jose 83 degrees. east san jose 84. look at this spread in the east bay. this is going to be some of the warmer spots for today. this is probably our warmest day of the week we've seen so far. concord 88 degrees, walnut creek 87. in through oakland i'll still stick to the 70s, a little more seasonable through there. the city will enjoy clearing skies into the afternoon.

north bay 81 for santa rosa and novato at about 84 degrees. those dangerous waves will linger through today, about 4 to 6 feet possibly, which is why that beach hazard is very much in effect. this brings up the potential for pretty dangerous sneaker waves and rip currents. waves are at about 7 feet. the winds nice and light at lesson miles per hour just off the coast. let's talk about that next chance of seeing some rain because i'm tracking two systems but the models are now showing a decreased chance of us enjoying some good rain out here. by 12:30 on wednesday, we get the initial first cold front lingering in on tuesday into wednesday. if you notice, a lot of this stays far off to the northern coast. as we head in towards wednesday night, possibly into thursday, we get a chance of seeing some rain. if you notice, it's going to take off to the north and we get a second system that creeps in on thursday, another cold front. this is into early friday morning. that might bring a better chance

of seeing some rain for areas possibly north of the golden gate bridge. so a little bit further down the north bay. but now the chances are not looking very promising from these two systems. over the next seven days here's a look at what you can expect. saturday and sunday 68 degrees for san francisco. i'm going to keep the shower chance here and there because you might just catch some drizzle in san francisco. as far as your inland areas go, as we head in towards saturday and sunday, that high pressure continues to dominate and that's what's going to bring us a very lovely weekend. i already know exactly what i'm going to do this weekend, mike. pumpkin patch! >> okay. over here a lighter patch right here for the bay bridge toll plaza. we had things build up over the last 15 minutes and then start to ease up over the last five for the cash lanes. the fastrak lanes have continued to fill in as daily commuters do have their fastrak and that's the ones we see backing up. bring cash, that's your friday tip always, and then you probably can get through that a little faster.

possibly san francisco's financial district. we uncovered building permits issued for 300 california street. the permits allow amazon go signs to be put up outside the building. amazon already has go stores in seattle and chicago. shoppers just scan their phone at the door and then take any items they want to buy and leave. no word on when the san francisco location will open. new video now showing prince harry channeling his inner spider-man there. he climbed the iconic sydney harbor bridge overnight in australia to raise the invictus games flag. fans probably mow that harry and meghan are still on a world tour. >> you may have seen a moment from the trip trending online earlier this week. >> prince harry hugged a fan who was among thousands and brought her to tears. all new for you this morning, we're hearing from that woman. >> prince harry just hugged me and i've loved that family and
