to tone it down just a little bit. is that okay? >> now the president also said he decided to hold this rally inspired by the fact the new york stock exchange opened up right after the 9/11 attacks, except the stock market didn't. it remained closed for many days following 9/11. the president either not telling the truth or misremembering the facts. now we do expect all three suspects, the alleged bomber, the two alleged shooters will be in court today. sayoc, bush, he's the one who tried to break into a black church, couldn't and shot people in a grocery store and bowers surrendered to police in a synagogue, three men, three days. there's a new caravan, a second caravan coming out of el salvador behind the main caravan which is in far southern mexico. there have been attempts to spread false reports about the caravan. facebook is quashing this report that claims refugees attacked police. these are fake. pictures from an entirely

different place in time. we added the blurring. this one spread by the wife of a sitting supreme court justice, and watch how news uses language. fox news says the refugees areninging closer to our border but if you look at the location in the upper left, at the time of the report, they'ren othe border with guatemala. 1400 miles from our border. the main caravan in the taped report were down about right here. they have since moved, they're about right there. we continue to watch everything that's happening in washington. you can follow me on twitter, you'll find me @scottmcgrew. >> all right, thanks, scott. so we're looking forward to the weekend, because we just came off of one, right? >> if it was a good weekend you're hoping for a repeat. >> it's going to be a busy week because halloween is right in the middle of the week. so you're trying to get the costumes ready, you're going to parties and then yes, smack dab in the middle of the week, we're celebrating halloween. as we get a live look outside in san francisco this morning, all clear skies. the fog is gone. we are going to see those skies

staying partly cloudy throughout the day, just a few clouds drifting by, as you step out the door t door, it is cool, only 48 degrees in nain napa this mornid 49 in livermore. mid-50s headed toward palo alto, and in san francisco, 54 degrees. going to concord, we'll be at 58 degrees at 9:00 and we go from the upper 50s to the mid-70s. it's going to be a really nice start to the week, with some breezy winds. our high temperatures today heading up to 70 in oakland, and in palo alto, san jose reaching 72 degrees. we'll be up to 74 in livermore, and san francisco reaching 67. so that live look outside in san jose, you see that our skies are mostly clear. it is a cool start, grab a jacket and later today, the winds will be picking up, so you may do bet we are a hter with a have a higher fire danger for the east bay hills as well as the knob hills. that starts tonight. look at the humidity levels,

dropping down from 9% to 19%. it's going to be critically dry and also those winds picking up from the northwest. we may have some gusts up to 55 miles per hour in elevations above 1,000 feet. so any small sparks could spread quickly, and be aware of that between tonight through wednesday morning. and then after that, we still have the northeasterly winds coming in, and then it starts to shift offshore, as we head toward the end of the week. as high pressure moves in, that means offshore wind is going to bring in some warmer weather, and we'll see that for a couple of days before we see it backing off just a bit, in time for the end of the weekend. so looking at our inland areas, highs reaching the mid-70s today. we go from 75 to 85 on thursday, and that will be the peak of our warmer weather, then back to the upper 70s for the weekend. looking at san francisco, still a lot of warmer than normal weather, but reaching 75 degrees, very nice on thursday. heading over to mike, you've

been tracking the roads this morning. seems pretty good. oh, jamming up there. >> kari, what's weird was the camera was turned the other direction and i saw tra ffic in dublin lightening up and then chp reporting west 580, just around the camera, reports of a crash blocking your two left lanes. i spun the camera around 180, and now we see it approaching and passing tasahar where things are jammed up, around the area approaching hacienda, which is partially blocked by trees. you can see from our sensors west 580 coming through dublin and approaching the dublin interchange a crash is slowing a slowdown. it may ease off 680 through pleasanton but you saw speeds dip as well. now we're tracking the rest of cocoa county moving nicely. highway 4 is slow all morning and we have the whether for the

withingk with intthe walnut creek interchange. the bay bridge backup of course because of the metering lights, they're on there. that crash in livermore may hold some folks up getting toward fremo fremont. we'll hopefully get the crash cleared quickly west 580 around hacienda. guys, back to you. >> thanks, mike. >> 5:51. next and new this hour, who says love don't cost a thing. the new numbers out overnight showing how much many people spend on dates based on the stage of their relationships. see how you compare to others. plus -- >> advice from your dentist. your kids will love this, the reason one expert is saying actually it is a good idea to eat all of your candy halloween night, but just for one night. >> no, as a parent, no, that's a lot of sugar. happening now, hotel workers in hawaii have been on the picket lines for more than three weeks now. they say they want better wages and benefits. some vacationers say the protest is ruining their paradise. others say they see the bigger

wagner learned, it's tough to get anyone to talk about it. >> we reviewed dozens of reports, but the cases at caltrans stood out, including a porn viewing ring involving nearly 30 employees and a worker who admitted to searching for porn on the job for 15 years. we wanted to talk to caltrans how it dealt with this and how other departments might learn from its experience, but the agency refused to sit down with us. so we checked caltrans public calendar for director lori berman. she was booked for industry only conferences, internal government meetings and out of town travel but we found an evening in september she was going to be catching a train out of sacramento. so we decided to head to the train station. we waited a few hours but finally spotted director berman. i'm liz wagner with nbc bay area.
