on housing starts and consumer sentiment. facebook users are ewing the company over a data breach last year, they say facebook failed to warn them about the risk tied to its single sign-on tool even though it protected employees. single sign-on connects users to third party apps and services using a facebook login. the suit stems from the company's worst security breach ever last september when hackers stole login codes or access toke nls allowing them access to nearly 29 million accounts. attackers took profile details suches abirth dates, employers, education history, types of device used and pages followed. facebook said hackers did not steal personal messages or financial information. and twitter is testing a filter for direct messages that contain conference offensive content. those flagged can be stored away in a folder that's marked "additional messages." users can choose to view them or delete them. twitter has taken steps without the need for human interception

and tested hide replies a feature that would make it easier to report offensive tweets. marcus and laura, over to you. >> that's a good thing. a lot of times you get the messages, wait, wait, no, no, no. >> i don't want to see that. >> thanks, frank. coming up here on "today in the bay," kari is tracking another hot day ahead for us but it's nice going into the weekend. >> one last day and then we start to cool off. this is a live look outside in san jose, as we head over to willow glen. we have some upper 60s to start, and then some mid 80s by noon. it won't be as hot today but l next. we'll take not as hot and not so busy. richmond to san rafael across the bridge, the joints have all been repaired, all 31 of those joints but they still have roadwork. be careful for crews, right now just a couple of cars. we'll show you what else is going on. newer chip cards are supposed to be more secure but chiefs thieves are still hacking our accounts. one weak spot, gas pumps.

a very good morning to outsn francisco. it's friday, thank goodness.

and we start with the microclimate weather alert, we're expecting some cooling temperatures, very welcome this weekend, right? >> it's been so hot this week and in fact we set several records across the bay area, so this morning, one last day if we can make it through. let's take a live look in oakland as we get a live look outside, it's mostly clear skies there as we look toward the coliseum. if you're on your way out the door to the fruitvale b.a.r.t. station expect some low 60s. we'll be at 63 degrees, even this morning's start will be a touch cooler for some, and then going throughout the day, the heat up won't happen as fast in oakland at noon, we're at 78 degrees, and so now most of the bay area has been dropped from the heat advisory, but now lake and solano county still included in the excessive heat warning that will go from 11:00 until 8:00 a.m. and some of these areas we could see temperatures as high as 108 degrees, and so let's look at all of our microclimates and what to expect

today. so here we are at 8:00, in concord at 71 degrees. we're at 68 in cupertino. at lunch time, it's 77 in oakland, while fremont is at 85. we're at 88 degrees in santa rosa. some of our hottest temperatures will be in the upper 90s and briefly touching 100 degrees, and then starting to come back down for the evening, and i think if you head out right around sunset, it's going to feel much better, as the winds start to pick up and our cooling gets under way. so here is that live look outside in san jose, as you get started this morning, you're getting dressed, grab something sleeveless, shorts, something to help keep you cool today, probably no need for a jacket, and we're hoping to clear the shelters this weekend, and of course we need your help, if you can head out to the berkeley humane society for tomorrow, you'll see marcus and laura and we'll see our temperatures that will be very nice and comfortable, so after you adopt that pet, enjoy some time outside, and still we have some dangerous heat today with our highs up to 101 in the valleys.

tomorrow we're up to 87 in some of our warmer spots, 84 on sunday, but next week it does start to heat up again, back into the low to mid-90s, and san francisco seeing the fog return by tomorrow, so it's going to be much cooler for the weekend into the start of next week. and heading over to mike, you're calling out two spots. >> that's right, kari. the speed sensors show a smooth drive all around the bay, except for these that lit up getting eastbound on the dumbarton bridge. that's not the spot i'm calling out. i am watching that. there's no incidents there. no crews either so we'll double check and make sure everything's okay there. the two spots that i'm calling out, the first is over here in hayward, it is northboun0t the tennison off-ramp. word from the chp that the off-ramp they may have to do a traffic break. sounds like there may be a bicyclist involved in a crash and we're always concerned for everyone's safety but especially when a bicyclist might be there at the off-ramp, we'll follow up

with the hayward pd as well. incident a disabled vehicle northbound 680 coming up looking at slowing right two lanes affected right now, the flashing lights and distraction the biggest deal. the traffic volume of course throughout is pretty light, so light we have no delays for at approaches in toward the maze. travel times 14 minutes from highway 4 to the bay bridge toll plaza we have the cash lanes backing up on either side of the fastrak. we have yet to see all cash lanes open and two stations closed over the weekend, the b.a.r.t. work between orinda and walnut creek, affecting both of those stations, as well as highway 24 right by the lafayette station in the eastbound direction. back to you. >> thanks so much, mike. it's 4:49 right now. new video coming in this morning of an officer-involved shooting in solano county. vallejo police released body camera video that shows a police officer firing at a trespassing suspect that was holding a knife. the shooting happened back in january. police say the suspect edward gonzalez was trying to break
