4:44. welcome back. now you're taking a live look , where that pening entrance of shooting happened yesterday. a tragic situation there, where three people were shot and killed. also killed, the gunman in that situation. police are continuing to investigate to try to find a motive behind what happened there. we're continuing to follow this and there will be a press conference coming up this morning at 10:0you right here o. 4:44 right now. certainly warm over the weekend, and welcome cooling trend headed our way? >> we'll be anywhere from 15 to 20 degrees cooler today, so it's going to be a huge change for those inland valleys and as we get a live look outside in san francisco, such a nice but foggy start to the day. if you're about to head out the door headed to the fruitvale

b.a.r.t. station we have some upper 50s this morning, and you will need a jacket for the early hours and as it goes on throughout the day right around noon we're feeling much more comfortable in oakland with our high temperature headed up to 70 degrees. san francisco will be in the mid-60s, but where we're going to see the biggest change will be the south bay, reaching 81 degrees today. in livermore, we're going to see a high of 86, and also 86 in concord. illeaching 87, so as high pressure moves away across the desert southwest, it's actually going to push off to the east. we're going to allow ow for thi pressure and some cooler air to start to move in, even some rain for the pacific northwest, while we get more of an onshore wind flow and much more fog, that will help cool us off from not only today but at least through the end of the week, so some big changes here as we look at our high temperatures and some of the warmer spots reaching the mid 80s. we'll be in the upper 80s by the end of the week, and then this

weekend, it will start to heat up again. we're looking at some low 90s for saturday and sunday. for san francisco, still pretty windy today, with some mid-60s in the forecast, and then we stay in the 60s through the end of the week. i want to get you out the door with a look at how your commute is going, and the bay bridge is starting to back up already. it's looking like a little bit of an earlier backup than we normally see and i'm also seeing on highway 101 headed northbound through palo alto by ikea, it is really starting to back up, because we are seeing the commute, construction traffic still adding up, and the construction there on the road is making it back up, as we switch over to our traffic maps, we also see a lot of green sensors, meaning that the roads are flowing smoothly for the rest of the bay area, but that's a look at that road on highway 101, near whipple, construction traffic making it move a little bit more slowly, but we also have a bigger issue for drivers

trying to get out of the central valley, heading into livermore, on 580 westbound, near 205, there is a big rig crash, and also a fuel leak and they're saying that this may take until 8:00 before they can clean that up, and so we've also seen a couple of accidents in the backup causing even more delays. so if you know someone coming out of that area, allow some extra time, and just know that they're probably going to be late. we'll talk about more of the weather and traffic coming up in a few minutes. >> slow it down out there, thank yo after it started, closing arguments are set to begin this morning in the ghost ship warehouse fire trial. derek almena and max harris face 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter, one count for each person who died in the 2016 fire. prosecutors say the pair violated terms of the building's lease and did not have important fire safeguards in place. defense attorneys allege that the fire was an act of arson, and something harris and almena
