. good monday morning. as you head out of the door, our temperatures are anywhere from the upper 50s in san francisco

to some low o60's in concord. it is mostly clear inland. we'll look at our forecast heading out from gilroy in a couple of minutes. and the drive up from gilroy is just fine. let's take the other end of the bay. to the north bay and see traffic traveling down toward lincoln from north san pedro road but a good volume to the north bay per normal. over to cnbc. good morning, i'm dom chu at cnbc. here are the top business headlines. wall street is set to open higher. it was mixed on friday but the markets posted strong gains overall for the week. the dow rising 4%, the s&p 500 and nasdaq were up around 2.5%. the nasdaq is off to the best start of an august, by the way, which is a down month, since in

the 1996. this week reports on inflation, import prices, unemployment and retail sales and productivity as well. another suitoror tik tok. preliminary has held talks about combination with the video sharing app. it is not clear whether they would pursue a deal. the biggest challenge is president trump's executive order barring tik tok parent company byte dance from handling any transactions in the u.s. microsoft is likely still the front-runner in any potential deal. and for all of the teachers out there, we love you and krispy kreme does too. because they're showing sweet appreciation for teachers this week. as the school year is set to resume in some form, the donut chain is launching educator appreciation week. teachers could have one free glazed donut and a drip coffee

by showing the school employee badge and a straight a. dozen is aavailable with any purchase. having my dad drive 30 minutes to fremont to get fresh donuts in the morning. now, kari hall, over to you. home, they're not hot any more. they have got to be warm. let's check our our forecast from gilroy. it is nice morning, clear visible. but our temperatures will be warming up, we'll talk about that next. >> and i don't think the warm donuts made it home at all. i'm sorting out details reported by chp about a crash.

and here we go on this monday morning. taking a live look at the bay bridge. you could see right there, getting started with the day. one of my favorite shots. just makes you know, i am here. bay area, here we come. here is this shot. you like this one. this is a pretty good shot, too. getting started with the day. as we're all in sight. >> good call. >> keeping cool. because the temperatures today are going to get back up there.

>> yeah, another hot day in the valley. but it is cool near the coast and a lot of mist and fog. in pleasant hill, it will start owl cool and then warm up again this afternoon. so we're looking at our temperature trend, that will be in the mid-60s at 5:00. and then we go into the upper 70s at 11:00. when it going throughout today. so here we are at 3:00 this afternoon, danville is at 90 degrees and san jose is in the upper 80s. heading over to palo alto we're at 82 degrees. and in san francisco, some mid-60s and you to the north bay and it is going to be in the low 80s. and then going into the rest of today, a nice cooldown once the ocean breeze picks up and notice how the fog doesn't clear much from the coastline today. and then we'll going to see a breezy wind picking up for this evening, helping to cool us off around sunset. to make plans for an evening walk today.

and then going into tomorrow, we're starting out mostly cloudy for the morning. but then we'll also have a client school down in our temperatures. the fog along the coastline will get thicker and that may reach across the peninsula and into parts of the bay. and our coolest day will be tomorrow. so a nice, brisk wind picking up. on wednesday we're in the upper 80s but then by the end of the week, some desert southwest heat starts to build into the bay area and look at those numbers. by friday we're in the mid-90s, going into the weekend we're looking at some lower 90s. still continuing in the f a change in san francisco. although i do think we'll see more fog the next couple of mornings but it is already foggy out there right now. heading over to you, mike, has that had a big impact on the drive this morning. for the chp, they did give a warning for the golden gate bridge for drivers to know about that. but the drivers that normally take the golden gate bridge know

there is a high probability this time of the year. let's look at the maps. a smooth flow of traffic. good probability you'll find green, but also finding this over in the east bay. this is a crash and it is an unusual transition so not really having a lot of effect. this is southbound at 238 coming away from the nimitz and then traveling north or west on 580. west is the direction i'll see on the signs there. this is a weird route where normally you would take surface streets or jump on 580 north. and low clouds hanging out there but no major concern. back to you. >> thanks, mike. well a southern california pastor said he is ignoring the health orders even after a judge ordered him to stop services from inside of the church. a ventura county judge issued a temporary restaining against the church from holding indoor services. after yesterday a fight broke out between the protesters and church supporters who said the

church is doing nothing wrong. rob mccoy said the church will continue indoors with no mask or social distancing for the 200 parishioners despite what the judge said. he said the risk is minimal. >> tell me one victim that come from our church or anybody that has contracted covid-19 as a congregant, we don't have any. where is the emergency. >> he's will to go to jail instead of -- complying with the health orders. >> this week is shaping out to be a critical week in decision 2020. joe biden is expected to choose and announce his running mate. on top of the short list, our list of women from california, senator kamala harris, also en bass. sources tell nbc that harris and former obama national security adviser susan rice are the final round for consideration.
