temperature, and clearing out and really getting hot for the inland areas, the tri-valley reaching 93 and parts of the north bay in the upper 80s, while san francisco will be in the upper 60s for today and about 80 for the east bay. we'll get a look at some cooler temperatures for all of our microclimates coming up. mike says so far it's tuesday light? >> tuesday regular. actually, a little lighter because of the movement. over here at the bay bridge toll plaza we have the build i promised. over here, 880 off the over-crossing and the nimitz, all routes toward the bay bridge are filling in with traffic. no changes as far as the distribution for the slower sensor reads at the yellow, orange and -- there's no red right now. we're looking toward the tri-valley where there is red coming out of the altamont pass. that is typical slowing off of 205 where it merges with 580. 580 is actually lighter out of tracie, so we're close to a half

hour, 27, 28 minutes from marsh creek down to 580, the major commute route. developing this morning, the u.s. border battle with texas is escalating after the justice department sued texas over the floating barrier installed to deter migrants from crossing undocumented. "today in the bay"'s brie jackson is live in washington with the latest developments. brie, the two sides, what are they saying this morning? >> reporter: good morning, kris. so the biden administration is demanding that texas remove the buoys, calling them unlawful and dangerous. meanwhile, the governor of texas, greg abbott, the vowing to keep them in place. the justice department suing texas over this floating barrier at the u.s.-mexico border, asking a federal judge to force the state to remove the buoys at its own expense, after republican governor greg abbott refused to commit to doing so.

>> he continues to do this really cruel, unjust, inhumane ways of moving forward with a system that has been broken for decades. >> reporter: governor abbott firing back at the biden administration, writing, texas will fully utilize its constitutional authority to deal with the crisis you have caused. texas will see you in court, mr. president. >> the buoys are a deterrent and i think it's a positive deterrent, but it's one, once again, a quarter of a mile out of over 1,000 miles of border. so it's really the shiny object. >> reporter: republicans insist the white house is not doing enough to protect the border, even though crossings are down. >> it's just bad politics and somebody trying to appeal to a very narrow sliver of his right wing base. >> reporter: despite the dangers of making the trek, some are still taking their chances. >> translator: we are going to try to cross because, honestly, in venezuela we can't find a

safe future and we want something for our family, something good. >> reporter: as the legal fight ramps up, the fate of the buoys hang in the balance. and the justice department's lawsuit also alleges that governor abbott failed to obtain a proper permit before installing the buoys into the river, something that is required by federal law. >> it's a waterway separating two countries. thank you very much. 6:04. a former north bay pastor is now in custody in connection with a decades-old cold case murder in pennsylvania. 83-year-old david zandstra once served at a church in fairfield. authorities say he has now confessed to a 1975 unsolved killing after being shown new evidence. he's being charged in the kidnapping and murder of 8-year-old gretchen harrington, last seen walking to bible camp. investigators say zandstra offered her a ride and later killed her.

from 1990 to 2005, zandstra was the pastor at fairfield's christian reform church according to the church website. the church has released a statement saying, quote, we recognize that we live in a broken and sinful world where violence can happen anywhere, even within our churches, and by those we hold to the highest standards. san jose leaders say the recent push to crackdown on open-air drug markets is paying off. police yesterday announce what they called a million dollar drug bust from a sting operation after police noticed a surge in drug activity. officers found drugs, including 1,000 fentanyl pills, cocaine and adderall, and found three guns after serving a search warrant at a home on rubino drive. mayor mahan says it's a good first step. >> we need more staff levels for

more investigations that can lead to these kinds of busts, more follow-up investigations. >> police released booking photos of the two suspects arrested in that bust. 24-year-old omar box on the left and the 19-year-old, santos, both of san jose, are being held on $5 million bail. happening today in san francisco, a homeless ban accused in a violent beating in april is scheduled to be arraigned. garret doty is accused of beating don carmignani with a metal pipe with an altercation caught on camera in the marina district. the judge ruled there is sufficient evidence for the case to move to trial. doty's attorney called it a case of self-defense saying carmignani has a history of spraying bear stray on homeless people, which his attorney denies. health care workers began four days of picketing outside various kaiser permanente facilities. workers are planning protests outside kaiser locations in san

jose, richmond, antioch, san leandro, as well as vacaville. they are protesting what they call unsafe staffing levels impacting patient care as their contract talks continue. medical services, they say, will not be impacted. in a statement, kaiser says in part, we are currently bargaining with kaiser unions. given where we are in the bargaining process, it's clear the picketing by the coalition isn't about drawing attention to new issues, but rather an attempt to create bargaining leverage. it adds, we will reach a great agreement. new at 6:00 this morning, people are getting too close to the wildlife in santa cruz all to get a look at that sea otter stealing surfboards. the otter 841 has become a viral sensation known for getting pretty close to surfers, biting or stealing their boards. but now with all the attention, people are getting too close to other otters in their natural habitat. just last week leaders say one local photographer documented people breaking up a group of

about ten otters with some people getting within just a few feet of the animals. >> it's really important to be able to give otters their space and these photos show evidence that people were not following those rules. >> we're the ones that have invaded their homes and i think they should be left to be comfortable. >> wildlife leaders say getting too close can raise the otters' stress levels, giving them food is a terrible idea. if an otter notices you, you're too close. >> they're so cute, but stay away. let's check the forecast with meteorologist kari hall. it's nice because in the bay area if you need a cool spot you can certainly find it. >> definitely. especially with this round of the higher temperatures we've had recently. sometimes it heats up everywhere, but that hasn't been the case so far this summer. we take a look at gilroy where temperatures are cool to start,

in the upper 50s as you head out the door and try to get in those morning activities early before temperatures get hotter. by early in the afternoon it's going to start to feel a lot more uncomfortable. but we are keeping the fog and cooler weather near the coastline and san francisco will be at about 56 at 8:00. at noon it's 64 degrees, and reaching into the upper 60s for today. there will be still a big range in temperatures across the bay area, but it will be nice to get a cooldown for the inland valleys. so i'll have more on that in the forecast. it's coming up in a few minutes. hopefully you're seeing prices go down in your department, mike. wishful thinking. just like i wish the temperatures would go down. the south bay, these numbers holding steady, maybe going up a little more, unfortunately. south bay we're going to call out the best price in cupertino, $4.25 at the cupertino car wash on north de anza boulevard.

san leandro, also $4.25, the costco on davis street. and then the best in san francisco is $4.39 at the marathon on geary at 9th. thanks for reporting and sharing on gasbuddy.com. on the roadways, the sharing is going fine but there's more folks doing the sharing so there's more slowing. we typically see slowing on the approaches toward the eastshore freeway and heading toward the bay bridge, westbound 80 has metering lights activated, that is a factor as well. francisco.d out of pretty typical pattern. this evenie're talking about thate series, so oracle parklost thents and a's tonight at 6:45. back to you. >> play ball. thanks. making it in the bay rarely comes easy, especially for first-time home buyers. coming up, the new challenges keeping more south bay homes off the market. ever wonder where your sunglasses cost so much? that question is now in court. let's take you out to the

let's talk about the s&p 500. it's within a few hundred points of erasing all the losses caused by high interest rates and fears of recession. the stock market has really boomed in the last year or so. the fed meets today, a two-day meeting on interest rates. you probably know that nearly all brands of sunglasses are made by the same company. a new lawsuit in san francisco federal court accuses ray-ban and oakley, both made by luxottica, of scheming with competitors to artificially inflate prices. the plaintiffs are hoping it will be a class act. there's a long list of brands, armani and chanel, all made by the same company, coach, michael kors, ralph lauren, tiffany, all the same company, luxottica. san francisco police temporarily stopped twitter from taking down the twitter sign. twitter didn't have a permit, didn't block the sidewalk to

prevent anyone from getting hurt by falling debris. remember, they're changing the name to x, just x. tweets will be called xs, according to elon musk. no more tweets, no more bluebird. elon musk is the owner of twitter or x and says he wants to evolve the app into an everything app like wechat in china. the chinese use wechat to pay for mass transit and schedule a doctor and text their friends and a hundred other things. musk envisions x as that sort of online wallet. the big question, though, would you trust that company with your money? elon musk's headlines have repeated over and over, he has a reputation as a person who does not give people their money, whether it's failing to pay rent on twitter offices, failing to pay bills for people who have done something for him, skipping severance pay promised to laid-off employees. if you're going to have people put something in a digital

wallet, you better be trustworthy about it. i think we trust places like venmo, owned by paypal and they have a track record of giving your money the minute you ask for it. >> exactly. don't use it as a bank account. >> don't use paypal, either, as a bank account. my kids pay me back money in venmo and i'm constantly surprised at how much money i have. >> in our family the same 20 bucks goes back and forth. >> my kids don't pay me anything. >> your kids are teenagers. wait until they're adults. it ain't 20 bucks. >> my little one said, i'll pay you back. thanks, scott. it is 6:18 right now. low inventory and high interest rates adding to the pressure for home buyers hoping to make it in the bay. the california association of realtors says bay area sales are down nearly 20% from a year ago, and in santa clara county it's

about 15%, with fewer homeowners looking to upgrade. one insider says first-time buyers are being squeezed the most. >> i'm finding that homes in the first-time buyer lower price ranges are more affected by interest rates, and when you get more into the luxury market of santa clara county, you find that people are paying a lot more in cash. >> while sales are much slower, median prices are still about the same. in june sales in santa clara county averaged about $1.8 million, a 0.3% decline year-over-year. move over power ball. the latest mega millions jackpot is starting to approach record territory. the jackpot for tonight's drawing will be $820 million and that will make it the game's fifth largest ever grand prize. a one-time cash payment will amount to $422 million. >> that will buy you a lot of

county in the low to mid-90s this afternoon. we're headed for 92 in danville while vallejo will reach a high of 85 and 77 in oakland. along the coastline no change for you. we're going to see low 60s in daly city and for san francisco headed for the upper 60s downtown. great for the game for tonight and the north bay will be hotter, mostly low 90s for the inland valleys, with sonoma reaching 93 degrees. the heat is here today and it's been pretty extensive across the region, all across the southwest, due to this high pressure. but we are going to see that moving away from us just a bit, just enough to bring back our ocean breeze and more seasonable temperatures around the bay area. take a look at morgan hill. it's not often that we see a prolonged period of temperatures that are right at normal for this time of year. we're going to see upper 80s starting tomorrow and continuing through the weekend. even lower 80s as we become in the month of august. so that's going to be a nice

change. and overall a cooling trend under way for the inland valleys, but remaining the same for san francisco and along the coastline. mike, how is it looking for south bay drivers? >> it's looking great. 101 just now starting to show little bits of speed below the speed limit. that's the second kick-in. we are looking at reports of a fire alongside highway 85. no structures involved but we'll track that. i'll let you know if it is an issue. more traffic is feeding in out of morgan hill. it doesn't look that drastic, so typical tuesday, maybe a little lighter as i'm hearing about a lot of vacationsn sl media. so 880 shows a build in the bay bridith the bp and meteringghts >> a lot of people coming and goin next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> a grandma tells us a company never logged a $5,000 check and never logged a $5,000 check and now her credit is

i'll have more on the forecast in a few minutes. >> thank you. 6:32 right now. developing this morning, alameda county's embattled district attorney is defending herself from new criticism this time from livermore's police chief. "today in the bay"'s pete suratos joins us this morning. this dispute surrounds just one particular case, right? >> reporter: yeah, it does. the livermore police chief said he's not pleased with the current charges and he made this clear in a letter he wrote. according to livermore police, 21-year-old colby berry robbed two women at gunpoint, they say he violently attacked one of them for more than 30 seconds before stealing their purses. berry was on parole at the time for a shooting at a home in 2021. they say his court-ordered ankle monitor showed he was at the scene of these robberies. police eventually arrested berry at his parole office in oakland and now the police chief wants the da to add special enhancements for using a firearm and being a repeat offender.

here is chief young talking about the need for enhancements in this case, as well as a recent video statement by da price explaining her objection to enhancements. >> so if you have a record of committing violent crimes and you do it again, then there's more of a consequence. >> overusing enhancements has led to alameda county having the fifth largest county jail in the world. >> reporter: the da's office says berry is facing six criminal charges that could result in 13 years behind bars and if they follow the chief's advice, it could result in 50 years to life. berry is still in custody at the santa rita county jail with bail set. the da mentioned they plan to meet with the chief next month. >> thanks for the latest, pete. san rafael is its police department are the subject of a new civil rights lawsuit alleging excessive force that stems from an incident last summer involving two san rafael officers who marin prosecutors

recently charged. video shows the officers take down julio jimenez lopez, who was holding a can of beer. he ended up bloodied and was taken to the hospital. attorneys claim the officers beat their client unnecessarily. >> he is taking it now a step further to fully caress his rights under federal civil rights laws to be compensated for his traumatic brain injury, his shoulder injury, the surgery he's had, his posttraumatic stress disorder he's been living with. >> last month prosecutors filed criminal charges against the officers.

people inside the unit did manage to escape from a window but firefighters say one of them suffered burns. firefighters believe a lithium-ion battery started the fire which ignited while being charged. >> there could have been better placement and precautions, but it's obvious that these two individuals had an escape plan and had practiced that plan. >> you heard him talking about the placement. the owners say they were charging the battery near their front door. that's the placement that the firefighters advise against. firefighters also say don't leave your devices unattended as they are charging, and only use chargers which are approved by your e-scooter company. happening today, elon musk is promising to virtually appear in the first-ever pg&e innovation summit. it takes place at the conference center in san ramon. pg&e is bringing together entrepreneurs, policymakers, research leaders to talk about the new climate resilient energy systems of tomorrow. that conference will kick off at

9:00 a.m. looks like i'm on the wrong side of the graphic here. bay bridge series is back and the giants and the a's face off tonight for the first of four games. today and tomorrow they play at oracle park. >> "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab is live in san francisco. this year some a's fans are hoping to really deliver a desperate message. >> reporter: that's right, laura and kris. whether you root for the giants or a's, tonight you're being asked to be that baseball fan who is on the brink of losing their home team. that's what the a's are pitching to giants fans and asking for their help. the a's fans are asking their bay area baseball counterparts to help them unite the bay and protest against a's owner john fisher, who plans to relocate their team to las vegas. >> it's something that's really important to baseball, it's important to the bay area, so

along with the oakland 68th and the last dive bar, we're planning a unite the bay night where a's fans, giants fans, come out to oracle park, have a good time and voice our frustration about a's ownership and their decision to attempt to relocate the team. >> reporter: it's been quite the saga so far. you'll remember back in june the nevada state legislature approved hundreds of millions of dollars to help fund a new athletic stadium in las vegas. over all-star weekend earlier this month, oakland mayor sheng thao tweeted she secretly met with the mlb commissioner. many people are saying the a's relocation is poised to happen, but fans are still not losing hope. they're saying they're going to keep on fighting until shovels are in the ground. tonight's game will be similar to the reverse boycott game that also happened at the coliseum. the sell t-shirts will be in

black, and there will be unite the bay posters to tell fans when to stand in silence and when to chant against the athletics owner. i'm sure a lot of people will be tuning in. >> definitely a different feel to this year's bay bridge series. thanks for the details there. they're holding out hope, as much as they can. >> they're trying to do what they can. >> i'm really not wearing dodger blue today. come on, bay area. >> when you get ready in the dark, you're just lucky it's clean and ironed. >> i almost thought i had different shoes today. i've been known to wear black and navy. >> you're wearing nbc blue. >> yeah, peacock blue. a nice day ahead as well for baseball. >> it's going to be great weather for the game. we've been watching that, and really no different from what

we've seen recently in san francisco. we're going to start out with temperatures in the mid-60s and breezy winds today. also looking at some winds gusting out there at oracle park, so make sure you have something nice and warm to wear. it's going to drop into the upper 50s by the end of the game. and a mostly clear evening, after hitting a high of about 66 degrees, 71 in san mateo, also about the same in oakland. in the south bay, we're in the low 80s, but heating up to the low 90s for some of our inland valleys. a little hotter than yesterday, but we'll bring those temperatures down several degrees in a few spots for tomorrow as well as on thursday. so we are looking much better for the end of the week. we'll talk more about that in a few minutes. >>mike, the sateo bri is bog down. >> it's sti slower than many people wouldlike, especially folks onhe be. but it really jammed u as i'm scanning the reports and the other sources, it starts to move better. that's good news. look at that volume.

there will be more slowing heading across the span. that's typical. look at the build off of the nimitz. the dumbarton is clear if you're going from fremont over to the peninsula side. no major surprises. the south bay does have a general build happening and we see more slowing than we often see heading west 237. and also for the tri-valley. we'll watch these slight signs of a little more build. there will be a big build coming into the city tonight because, as we talked about, oracle park, the giants will host the a's for the bay bridge series. we'll see who makes a statement on the scoreboard, and that means more traffic across the bay bridge. right now a pretty mild commute. back to you. >> thank you. 6:41 right now. with allergy season in full swing, some groundbreaking new research. scientists are starting to learn how and when allergies develop. the new hope it may offer for

right now at 6:44 on this tuesday morning, we're getting a

look at our forecast for pleasant hill. we're in the low 60s now, nice and clear. but it will be heating up quickly for today. it's going to be one of the hotter days of the week as it makes it into the mid-80s by 1:00. and we're going to see temperatures reaching near 90 here. we'll get a look at what to expect in our forecast, as well as a slight cooldown in a few minutes. not 90 here. there's a cool fog at the golden gate bridge. not cool for drivers. the southbound commute out of marin county, the sensors show sudden slowing at the bridge. visibility may be a factor right now. we'll look at the build in the east bay as well. >> thank you so much. 6:45. new at 6:00 a.m., a groundbreaking study revealing how and when allergies develop in children. childrens' hospital of philadelphia researchers looked at the average age for several common diagnoses. for eczema, it's at 4 months old.

1-year-olds most commonly develop food allergies and asthma, and just after 2 environmental allergies like hay fever most often show up, just before 3 is when the esophagitis develops. >> the reason it's important is because you want to look for these, the earlier you treat them, the easier they are to treat and the less the child suffers with these type of allergy symptoms. so it's important to pay attention and make sure that you're actually seeing the child, if you notice a rash when they're 4 months old and it doesn't go away in a couple of days, get it looked at. >> you can see the full interview on "today" right after "today in the bay." president biden will turn his attention to the nation's mental health crisis today. >> scott mcgrew joins us now. there are already laws in place forcing insurance companies to cover mental health, but they're really not always followed.

>> they aren't. that's certainly the white house's position. good morning. the biden administration gives an example of an insurance company that covers dieting classes for diabetics but doesn't cover nutrition classes for somebody with anorexia. so one is physical health, the other is mental health. and the law says those two things should be treated equally. president biden is going to sign an order demanding insurance companies keep track of what they pay for so they'll be more aware if they break the law and fix it. the white house also points to two moms in california who recently went public with their struggles to get mental health care for their children. you may have experienced this yourself. you call your medical provider because you need some help and they schedule you for a first visit in november. the president will also sign a proclamation turning three sites into national monuments for emmet till, the young man murdered by two white men in mississippi back in 1955 after he allegedly flirted with a white woman in a store.

there are more signs and markers but people keep shooting them. mass protests in israel overnight after the legislature there took the first step in reducing the power of the judiciary, who would allow the executive branch more power with less oversight. prime minister netanyahu pushing for the change, but it's so unpopular, some members of the israeli military have threatened to go on strike. both netanyahu and israeli president herzog have warned of civil war, and that's if they get their way with the new law. tv stations in florida are reporting that florida governor ron desantis was in a car accident while campaigning in tennessee. a campaign spokesperson says he wasn't hurt. now, this news is just minutes old, so we're working on double-checking those television station's reports. and coming up on the "today" show, a look at the latest over

that dispute over a series of buoys placed in the rio grande to stop immigrants. the federal government, which controls the river, wants them gone. texas governor greg abbott wants to keep them. >> i support governor abbott, but not in the way he's going about this. this is more -- >> why? >> because it's more political than anything else. >> well, as a tool to control immigration, these are political, symbolic. they run for a few hundred feet on a river that runs for thousands of miles. politically, win-win for governor abbott. even if a court orders him to remove the barrier, he's standing up to the white house, which is popular in texas. taking another big step forward toward the 2024 olympics, the official torch design is out this morning. and if you live here, you'll see that it is champagne colored with the top polish smooth to reflect light, and then it is dented to look like the rippling

water of the river flowing through paris. while more than 12,000 have been used in past opening ceremonies, only about one-sixth will be used next year to reduce the carbon footprint. trending this morning, the bay bridge series, just set it aside for a moment, baseball's most entertaining team is in the south bay for one game only. ♪♪ >> the savannah bananas tonight invade the ballpark. the team began a phenomenon for banana ball. the owner is trying to add a little more player pizazz. resale tickets are going

anywhere from $315 to $720. >> it is like a taylor swift show. >> exactly. we even saw one ticket on sale for almost $50,000. >> why? for charity? >> they're so entertaining. >> that's definitely not the best video. >> oh, no, not at all. >> that's just for sale at $50,000, right? i'm not saying anything, but they are good about promoting. >> i would love to go, but not at that price tag. >> for sure. good day to sit outside and watch a little baseball. it's going to be a little warm today but that's baseball weather. that's san jose baseball weather, not san francisco. we're going to see a big range in temperatures across our microclimates, and it's already clear as we take a live look outside in fremont this morning. it's going to be in the upper 50s to start, a cool morning, but then heating up, but still mild as we are close to the bay. as we move away from the bay and the coastline, temperatures get

hotter. we're up to 94 today in morgan hill and milpitas will see a high of 85 today. we move over toward 93 and walnut creek, while oakland will hit a high of 77 degrees, and 80 in fremont. the seven-day forecast is at the bottom of the screen showing slightly warmer temperatures. in palo alto expect it to reach 88 degrees, but only 63 in half moon bay. ingleside will reach 84 this afternoon, 90 in santa rosa and about the same in napa. we'll see the high pressure that's still giving parts of the southwest a prolonged heat wave. that's going to be moving away from us and we'll have more of an influence from this area of low pressure that will be dipping into the pacific northwest and we know the wind coming off of the ocean tends to cool things down, while the valleys will still be warm. as we take a look at morgan hill going from mid-90s today to

upper 80s in the rest of the forecast, and even some low 80s, which is what we typically see for early august. in santa rosa, it's also going to be warm but a nice, significant cooldown for many of those inland spots over the next few days. but the sunshine continues and we'll see temperatures ranging from 60s in san francisco near the coast to mostly upper 80s and low 90s for the next couple of days. mike has a look at the bay bridge. >> it's looking pretty standard, but it's actually movement is good, we welcome movement in the middle lanes. we used to call them cash lanes. the hov lanes are moving well also. the issue is not the westbound commute. that's the standard commute. it's eastbound where a disabled vehicle is reported right here in the treasure island tunnel. we don't see any additional slowing on the sensors. we're looking at westbound across the bridge from richmond. everything else moves smoothly

throughout contra costa and alameda counties. there may be a new crash near the castro valley y. we'll check on that. 6:53 right now. happening now, berkeley council members are getting ready to vote on automated license plate readers. police want to stall 52 readers at major streets and intersections to help fight crime. real time alerts would be used to help spot stolen cars and used in crimes and connected to missing people. the issue has been controversial, although it's already been rejected by an independent civilian board, it's back in the council for a new vote. next, a quick look at our top stories that include the million dollar drug bust in the south bay. a huge stash of drugs, including fentanyl, recently found by police in a sting operation authorities say led to the arrest. plus, health care workers head to the picket lines with a message for kaiser permanente and the wider protests planned later this week. what you need to know if you

welcome back. we're moving you forward with a look at the top stories on "today in the bay," including san jose police announcing what they call a million dollar drug bust. >> two weeks ago police say officers found drugs, including 1,000 fentanyl pills, cocaine, meth and adderall, all of it while serving out a search warrant at a home on rubino drive. police released booking photos of two suspects arrested in the bust. 24-year-old omar box and 19-year-old laneyia santos, both are being held on $5 million bail. health workers began four days of picketing outside

various kaiser facilities. workers are planning protests outside kaiser permanente locations in san jose, richmond, antioch, san leandro and vacaville. they're protesting what they call unsafe staffing levels that they say impacts patient care, as those contract talks continue. medical services will not be impacted according to kaiser. in a statement, they say they are currently bargaining and they are confident they will reach an agreement. a live look at oracle park where the bay bridge series returns pitting the a's versus the giants. fans are wondering if this year's series may be the end of the line because the a's are in deep talks to move to las vegas. oakland fans are hoping giants fans join them tonight in sending a message to ownership to reconsider the move. the giants and a's play tonight and tomorrow night at oracle then on august 4th and 5th, two more games at the coliseum. we know the temperatures will be a little warm, you'll

want sunscreen. >> in san francisco it's going to be nice and cool, temperatures in the mid-60s. but the inland valleys are going to be much hotter, reaching into the low 90s today. we'll see slightly cooler temperatures the rest of the week but very seasonable. i was looking for changes, but there's a crash reported near the metering lights. i think it's cleared now. what will impact the traffic is the series we just talked about. lots of folks traveling across to support the a's tonight. you can't have a rivalry if your rival is not the town.
