a nice start to our day. offee s going to be a great day, because it feels nice and cool outside. we'll keep that nice weather throughout the day. here is a live look outside at the golden gate bridge, as you head out the door, things are looking good, and as we go through that seven-day forecast, a big heat-up is headed our way. we're going from 82 inland today to 100 on friday. so some big changes ahead. we're going to talk more about that coming up. mike, you're still tracking that traffic alert in coco county. >> i'm showing you pictures from alameda county the oakland side of the bay bridge and the toll plaza. we're not affecting traffic flow it's out there. this is not bad the upper east shore freeh b shore freeway. pittsburg and bay point crash not affecting theight shove fol toward highway 4 leaving antioch and brentwood is this crash which s nor of cino diablo. it is slow in both directions

because folks are trying to use other alternate means to get past that crash as they exit the brentwood area, just outside of that city as we're looking over here, camino diablo from walnut is probabl at brentwood boulevard ties things up. it keeps vasco clear and the rest of the bay looking good. back to you. >> thanks, mike. no reason to be bored in san francisco tonight, but dual events will put a strain on the transit system especially muni. for the first time, there are events at the new chase center as you see here in san francisco as well as oracle park, the same night baseball fans and concert-goers crowding together just blocks apart. our thom jensen is live in the city and thom, this was a fear for a lot of people as the chase center was being built. >> reporter: it is. good morning, marcus. we'll have to see how muni handles this. they say they've prepared for these times when there's dualh here at the new chase center. here is a look at why they're

concerned, as we take a look at the ball park, and the new arena itself. oracle park and chase center are separated by only about a mile and they share one muni line. muni says it will operate its normal oracle park special event rail service with an extension to chase center. chase center meanwhile encourages concert-goers to try to take the free shuttle bus from the 16th street mission b.a.r.t. station here to the arena. your concert tickets also serve as muni tickets so fans can get to and from the area with ease. last friday, muni had its first real test with the metallica concert playing here, the first concert at the chase center. it was sold out, and fans seemed to heed the warnings not to drive to the concert. many fans used the busy public transportation system. >> we took b.a.r.t. and muni.we.

it was crowded. i was shocked there was only a one-car train given the size of the crowd but otherwise it was pretty smooth. rorr: so it's pretty smooth, but there will be more challenge this is week with dual events. eric clapton performs at chase tomorrow night and friday, elton john is here. the giants are also playing at home both nights. tomorrow night against the pirates again, and then friday they host the florida marlins, and bottom line is, it's best to use public transportation, not try to park in the area, if you can't use public transportation, they're saying bike, walk or even take a scooter to the event, better than fighting the traffic and the parking problems. we're live in san francisco, thom jensen, "today in the bay." >> thanks so much, thom. it's 6:04 right now. fremont leaders plan to select the location for the city's first homeless navigation center. two locations are being considered, one near city hall, the other near a nursery in the

north end of town. both plans are getting heavy resistance from people who live homeless center planned for san francisco's embarcadero are dealing wit asetback. a judge denied a request for a temporary restraining order to block the navigation center. the judge agreed to hear more arguments two weeks from now. the city is going full steam ahead in its plans to build the center, arguing something has to be done with a high homeless population in that area. opponents fear it will increase crime. starting next year, any drinks ordered in union city will no longer have plastic straws. according to "the mercury news" city leaders aproved the ban last night. union city is the latest bay area city to ban plastic straws. the new rules began january 1st with a grace period june. county may step in to help victims of sexual assault. this is where one supervisor says the state is failing them. the state budget does not set

reserved for more serious offenses. the governor just signed this in to law and it widens the ban that already exists on so-called willful defiance suspensions. such suspensions are banned kinder through third grade so this extension extends it through eighth grade. it applies to public school and charter schools, and according to the bill author, senator nancy ne oakland and san francisco unified along with other districts eliminated the suspensions. are research has shown students of color get more of these kinds of suspensions though their rates of misbehavior are the same. the idea is to keep the kids in school where educators can reach them with other kinds of interventions, like in-school suspensions, restorative justice and that positive behavior intervon programs that you may have seen at your own kids' school. the banppechool wille at that point and a ban has a broad roup of s parents, administrators,

federal organization that tracks hurricanes, after that alabama debacle. the commerce secretary is in charge of noaa. the president insisted the hurricane might hit alabama. and tripled down with a map that somebody had changed with a sharpie. he's made a number of angry tweets. the president had tweeted about the danger to alabama. noaa tweeted there was no danger. the president reacted the way he did, a memo went out apparently warning noaa officials not to contradict the president. reports say ross is willing to fire people. and the forecasters gave the head of the national weather service a standing ovation after he said he stood behind the meteorologists who accurately predicted and corrected the president and provided accurate forecasting. president trump was in north carolina yesterday, he was supposed to survey hurricane damage but the weather was not cooperating. he was able to make a rally for the gop candidate in the state's that takes place today. that election is a do-over afte

out due to illegal ballot harvesting. we'll be watching north carolina's ninth district, we'll probably tweet about it. you can follow me on twitter, i'm @scottmcgrew. raiders fans who probably had it to here hearing about a.b. can talk about the big "w." >> a big win. the silver and black beat the broncos last night. tyrell williams caught a touchdown pass from derek carr for the first score. the raiders won 24-16. antonio brown and tom brady posted this selfie and brown signed with the patriots hours after the raiders areleased him saturday. >> wait i thought we were done talking about a.b. >> now we are. >> sportscasters talking about that during the raiders game, it's like just move tly.on let's move on from the nice weather or let's not.

let's get a look. >> kick it around for a while. >> a little bit longer. >> look at this view from cupertino hills. >> beautiful. >> as the sun comes up, it is a beautiful, clear start to the day with low 60s there. check out the seven-day forecast that's revealing at the bottom of the screen as we try to get up and get those kids ready for school this morning, let's head over toward the east bay. san ramon we were' goiare going temperatures at 60 degrees as you step out the door and low 70s by 11:00, going out to lunch and recess. it's going to feel nice and mid-70s for early afternoon. but as we go through today, we're still enjoying some slightly lower than normal temperatures, especially for the south bay, san jose reaching 78 degrees. we'll be up to 83 in antioch. 81 in napa and san francisco in the upper 60s, and then as you're getting dressed this morning as you get a look out the window with that beautiful sunrise, grab a jacket. you'll be comfortable with short sleeves for the rest of the day
