lawmakers to let them decide where it comes to vaccines and risk of measles. senate health voted 6-2 to give them the power to sign off on exemptions for children headed to public schools. lawmakers say that is necessary, because some doctors who are writing the exemption are doing it for pay, not with the child's best interests at heart. now, what we know about the measles outbreak in california today is that there are eight new cases in california this week alone, there are 37 cases, across the state, 680 cases nation i nationwide and this could cross the highest number of case we seen since the measles were eradicated so many years ago. we will cover that health conference at 9:30 this morning. we will let you know ma we hear. >> thanks for the latest there. 5:07. new this morning, palo alto police searching for a man that

step in, if needed. trump tweeted, but that tweet adds nothing to the conversation. we are still waiting to see what congress is going to do about white house resistance to its power. president trump has instructed people not to respect congress' subpoenas. the irs refused so far to turn over trump's taxes, the president says this is an intentional strategy. >> now we're finished with it. and i to the after two years we'd be finished with it. no now the house goes and starts competing. they want to know every deal i've ever done. >> at thumbing his notes to checks and balances, he might be inviting impeachment. it is possible. this is a strategy. prosecutors in new york today will get the president's records from deutsche bank. these came up during the cohen hearings as alexandria ocasio-cortez pressed home the president's finances, cohen

running into new trouble. he called his friend actor tom arnold and told him a secret. he wasn't guilty of some of the things he pled guilty of. he said he had few friends he could trust. arnold taped that call and turned it over to the "wall street journal." it could hurt his chances of getting out early. we will tweet about it. follow me at skrcott mcgrew. >> you likely wouldn't do this, nor would you want to. take a look at this picture after a 79-year-old pilot crash lands on top of a tree in idaho. the fire fighter was able to safely climb that tree and get the man down safely. he says he was surprised how stable that plane was. the pilot, he refused to go to the hospital. he wants his plane back. >> he wants to go to the airport. oh, wow. >> i would be scared as that

fire fighter climbing the tree thinking the plane at any time. >> could just fall. >> yeah, crazy. >> look at this. >> that is beautiful. we're taking a look at the east bay hymn. as the sun rises, this is a great way to start out your thursday morning. so it's a great start as we start to see the sun rise under way. we are right now at about 30, 40 minutes away from sunrise right now. this is a live look outside. more patches of fog. as you make plans for the day, if you want to head out for a jog around concord, the early hours are the best time to go. between now and 11:00, we're seeing those temperatures in the 50s and 60s. but then after that, we're in the 70s and eventually into the low 80s today. with our high temperature in concord reaching 87 degrees. we're coming down from those 90s.

but it's still going to feel like summer all around the bay area with oakland today reaching 75 and 85 in napa today and san francisco. we're going to see a high here of 66 degrees, that's a live look outside in downtown san jose, looking at that time sap center. as you are getting dressed, expect it to be a cool start. but another summer day means a tee-shirt and shorts kind of weather, whatever you can do to stay cool today. we have a lot of tree pollen in the air. they haven't had any rain. >> that usually helps to at least scrub some of the allergens out of the air. we know it's been dry, still continuing on with our snag pant weather pattern, a stubborn area of high pressure, high pressure keeps us from getting clouds or storm system. we've seen the clouds moving up and over the bay area, reaching farther to the north a and to the pacific northwest. there will be a clang in the pattern going into the weekend. we could start to see more

clouds, a storm system moving nearby. it looks like it could give us a slight chance of rain late sunday into monday, overall, it looks like it's staying dry i'm trying to keep a chance of rain in the forecast. it looks like it's really not going to happen for sunday night. so the next be upcouple of daysm like. we go back to sprink. thank goodness, we don't want to stip to summer, san francisco saying in the 60s with a slight chance of sprinkles late sunday night. mike, you are tracking the backup. >> it formed late. the traffic is lighting up. folks didn't turn on the metering lights until about 5:40 this morning. about 20 minutes later as we typically see, all lanes are filled in. they're moving smoothly.
