we go through the midmorning hours and then 70s in the lunchtime hour. what can we expect over the weekend? we're seeing clouds moving through the region, but otherwise the heat will stay away from our inland valleys, only going to warm up into the low 90s. i'll talk about why we have the last line in the headlines. we're watching monsoon moisture move in through the sierra. we're going to check on the roads with mike. >> we still have a crash in san jose. take a look at the map. green sensors dominate. that's great. we do have this section of the south bay that is still dominated by red. northbound 101. notice, since the last time we take a look, there is a backup starting before story road, not yet back to tully. there are two crashes, one lane blocked at mckee and now we're seeing the sensors light up differently, yellow, slowing on 280. i think some folks are shifting over to 87 to get past into and

to the airport. here is the bay bridge. the metering lights are active. it's friday light, though. developing this morning, firefighters still aren't saying if they know what sparked a big fire last night in san jose's sunset district. two people, one of them a firefighter, suffered minor injuries. the fire started about 8:30 near 19th and irving near golden gate park. it took more than two hours before firefighters had it under control. later today leaders in east oakland will hold what they call a day of action meant to address gun violence. it is focused on the corridor of international boulevard between 82nd and 90th avenue, an area with major crime and safety concerns. those same concerns were the primary focus of what at times was a chaotic town hall meeting in oakland last night, hosted by alameda county d.a. pamela price and the oakland police department. >> i think that she stands for fairness and that's what we support. >> i was pulled out of my car at gunpoint and deposited in the

for the first time in decades at our sentencing structure, and they recommended that we stop using enhancements the way that we have done it consistently. >> others criticized oakland police, claiming the department is dropping the ball on stopping carjackings and break-ins. police argued oftentimes their hands are tied by policies or budget restraints. another meeting is taking place in early september in east oakland. a new indictment for former president donald trump in the case of mishandled classified documents. a special counsel filed new charges against trump yesterday. the new indictment alleges the former president helped delete security video and obstructed the investigation into the classified documents stored at his florida estate. the former president's aide, walt nauta, has already been indicted. another trump aide has been added to the indictment, a maintenance supervisor at mar-a-lago. he allegedly told another employee that the boss wanted

the server deleted. >> the only way that indictment is as detailed in recounting those interactions is if a party to those communications is cooperating. >> trump has pleaded not guilty in the classified documents case against him. a trial has been set for may, but meanwhile, trump is bracing for a possible third indictment for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. 6:06. new this morning, b.a.r.t. is reportedly taking a stand against lawmakers when it comes to fare jumpers. a bill authored by one southern california assembly member working its way through the legislature would decriminalize fare jumping on public transit. right now repeat offenders can be charged with misdemeanors and in extreme cases jail time can be considered. b.a.r.t. directors yesterday voted to oppose the bill. supporters, meantime, argue fare evasion enforcement disproportionately impacts people of color. the "chronicle" reports b.a.r.t.

police say it would send a message to officers that they should de-emphasize fare jumping enforcement. also new this morning, architects are being told to throw out the recent renderings for the a's planned stadium in las vegas. the las vegas review journal reports the a's are now telling architects to reimagine the plans because the original mock-up won't be feasible. it shows a stadium that's too big for the plot of land that's available. it also means they'll have to redraft plans for that retractible roof. the one request from the team is for architects to give the stadium an outdoor feel. right now the a's still need final approval from major league baseball. the lanterns are making a comeback in san francisco's chinatown. the iconic lanterns that hang above the streets were badly damaged in the storms last winter, and in the last few months the chinatown merchants association collected donations to pay for the new lights. as of last night, the new lights are on display.

business owners say the lanterns are a major part of chinatown and help bring in tourists. a heads-up this morning for anyone, especially thinking that they may try to attend taylor swift's two big concerts after all. here sa live look at levi's where the first of the two shows happens tonight with a follow-up concert tomorrow. the next half hour we'll take you there for a live report, but the shows, they're prompting state attorney general rob bonta to issue a new consumer alert. beware of counterfeit tickets. right now there is no specific scam to tell you about, but buying online tickets from unsanctioned sources can leave you high and dry. they recommend buying tickets from authorized vendors and don't fall for discounted prices, especially if it seems a little too good to be true. if you do fall victim to a scam, report it to the state's website. >> hopefully no scamming out there today. yeah, those fake tickets can

look really real, so be careful out there. weather-wise we're finally here. whether you're going to the concert or not, it's going to be nice. >> maybe lots of people have flown in from other parts of the country to see mayor swift. don't be afraid as you step out and see cloud cover. i promise you that it will mix out and we'll see a beautiful day to start off our friday. we're starting a little chilly at 59 degrees, but then as we go through the midmorning hours while people start to get ready, even as we head through the lunchtime hour, we'll see sunshine and temperatures in the mid-70s. let's go from the south bay to the north bay. maybe you have plans in santa rosa. we're starting under cloud cover and cool at 51 degrees, and a gradual warm-up as we go through the midmorning hours. by the middle of the day, we're up to 80 degrees in santa rosa and the wind will pick up as we go into the afternoon for just about everybody. i'll keep an eye on that in the full forecast. let's go to mike with

cheaper gas prices. >> vallejo seems to be the place to fill up, we'll give it up for royal gas, $4.11 on tennessee, a few doors down from express on tennessee for 2 cents more. for contra costa county, we head out to antioch star gas and mart on lone tree way and that's $4.19 in the middle. the south bay, we'll fill up in mountain view with the best at $4.29, the diamond mountain gas and mart. on the roadways we'll look at the south bay where this outstanding red streak will turn orange and then yellow. speeds will improve, i believe both of the crashes have cleared without any further incident, north 101 at mckee road. that will quickly clear for the early commute. things will get congested around levi's stadium. in case you hadn't heard, we're talking swift transit today. take the orange line, that's got the great america station from the b.a.r.t. station, caltrain, even the shuttle from ace. back to you. >> thanks a lot.

business's 100th anniversary. that's an honor to ring the bell. bummer, yesterday the dow ended a 13-day winning streak, its second longest ever. santa clara continues to go undefeated in football, by the way. space x launched a falcon 9 rocket last night from florida, which was unremarkable, but the plan was to launch a falcon heavy rocket behind it, breaking the record for back-to-back rocket launches set by the gemini program back in the '60s. it turned out the falcon heavy wasn't ready to go, there was a technical problem, so they'll launch tonight. the record set by pete conrad and dick gordon back in 1966 still stands. 96 minutes apart to meet up in space and dock and prove that docking was possible. mastercard sent a letter to banks asking them not to let customers use debit cards to buy

cannabis, even if it's legal in many states. it's not legal at the federal level. the decision was first reported by bloomberg. and a company that makes yoga pants and other athleisure clothing for women sent an email to some of its customers that made them uneasy. for instance, a woman named sophie got a personalized message that said, hi, sophie, it's your neighbor right across the street with the silver car and little dog. i wanted to let you know everyone in the neighborhood when you walk around can see you in your underwear all day. so this then was a sale on some of the athleisure yoga pants. so if you read far enough down, but it looked like an authentic message because it said, don't forget tomorrow is trash day. >> it had a hook to make you keep reading. >> you think to yourself, do i have a neighbor with a silver car? the company didn't apologize exactly, but i suspect they won't do it again. >> that's racy marketing.

>> yeah. >> creepy, too. 6:17 right now. and new this morning, costco wants to build its biggest store yet in the central valley. it will be located in fresno. last week costco said its environmental impact report that plans call for 241,000 square foot store, the size of four football fields. it would be nearly twice the size of your average costco and include 32 gas pumps with a drive-through car wash. plans also call for almost a 900 car parking lot. they're going to need it. >> you'll need a gps thing on your kids. they just kind of skirt off. you'll find them in the toy aisle. trending this morning, no secret golden state warrior steph curry has mad skills from shooting threes to holes in one.

questions and the spicy wings do put people off. similar to being altered in other ways, maybe alcohol, their brain goes crazy and they get a much more natural response. >> and they're not so worried about the interview, they're probably anticipating this a little more. >> interesting. you were telling me about this and they were chatting about it, they put the spicy one somewhere kind of in the middle. >> yeah, about eight or seven. >> you're in the hot seat. >> absolutely. wash your mouth. >> i'm sweating bullets. >> take it away. >> they do cauliflower, too. >> we'll take that. it might be hot this weekend depending on where you are. a glass of milk and water will cool you off. let's start in walnut creek. our camera is working so why not show you what's going on on the

roadways, and those high clouds passing through the region, giving way to a lot of sunshine this afternoon. what can we expect as we go through the high temperatures with those spicy wings? really the inland valleys are going to warm up into the upper 80s and some low 90s, and in morgan hill. the rest of the bay staying with 66 in san francisco to comfortable upper 70s, low 80s in parts of dublin. as we go through tomorrow you won't feel too much of a change. we'll start with typical fog near the coastline and then warm up maybe a few degrees as we go through the afternoon. what can we expect as we go through the next couple of days? our temperatures have been holding steady in the bay area over the last couple of days and it will continue as we go through this weekend, where most of the heat is staying to the southwest and to the middle parts of the country. as we go into walnut creek over the next couple of days, the start to the weekend looks good. i see the temperatures peeking just a little bit on sunday, but no extreme heat that we're tracking this weekend. we're actually tracking a little bit of a cooldown as we go into the last couple of days of july.

we're already going to start off august and we're going to start off on a cool note in walnut creek. then warming up gradually as we go into the following weekend. as we look ahead at what's happening through the state, we're going to track high clouds moving in, maybe chances of some activity going on in the sierra. you see it popping up. i would say tuesday through about thursday, we'll keep an eye on that and see how that develops and bring you the latest. i'll leave you with the seven-day forecast, 60s through the rest of the week and our inland valleys holding steady in 80s and 90s. mike, let's see how the friday commute is looking. >> i like the trend on the seven-day forecast. here we see the worst slowing around story, continued improvement on 101 and no impact on 280. the ripple has not taken effect because traffic is so light. very pleasant drive. metering lights are on but no backup at the toll plaza for the bay bridge. back to you. 6:22 right now.

it's going to be definitely a warm one around the bay area, as we burn off some of that coastal fog. right now in san mateo over the bridge, it's a little busy. we're going to get busy as we go through the middle of the day, seeing the sunshine peeking through the clouds. by the lunchtime hour, sunshine and 68 degrees. what are the rest of us looking at? the inland valleys will warm up into the upper 70s, low 80s and 90s. no heat wave over the next couple of days. i'll walk you through the extended outlook. right now we're back to the peninsula for a traffic alert. >> it matches your dress. unfortunately, it's an injury crash. it's blocking three lanes of 280 southbound, so close to the westborough on-ramp. you have to avoid the westborough on-ramp right now. we're watching a crash there as you head south past the area of

>> reporter: i am not going to be one of the roughly 58,000 so-called swifties showing up tonight for the concert, tonight and saturday night at levi's stadium. it will be starting at 6:30. we spoke with fans yesterday out here. we know there are some fans out here right now. you're not supposed to be on property yet. yesterday we spoke to a number of plans who say they plan on showing up early, even though tailgating is not allowed on levi's stadium property. many fans have booked hotels in the area so they don't have to deal with the parking. this was the scene 24 hours ago. you remember when kris sanchez was out here, when hundreds of fans lined up super early yesterday morning just to buy t-shirts and other merchandise from the truck parked out front. tickets for the concerts tonight and tomorrow will be selling on the secondary market for hundreds, if not thousands of dollars over face value. we spoke with fans who don't have tickets, but are still going to try to show up outside

the venue, even though levi's says standing outside the stadium on stadium property will not be allowed. >> i'm going to be here for sure, outside, yeah. >> every single way, every social media aspect, every single group or whatever, trying to figure out how we're going to do it. >> reporter: santa clara police will be shutting down the street right here in front of levi's starting at 9:30 this morning, and, again, we're told fans will not be allowed to loiter around the stadium. there will be no tailgating allowed on site once the parking lot o a 2:00, though there is a hotel just off site that has set up a tailgating area in its parking lot. fans we spoke with, those without tickets, some way they are going to meet across the street off property and then play it by ear from there. so if you are coming to the concert, public transportation is your best bet, you've got the ace train, vta, b.a.r.t.,

caltrain, and if you're going to be driving in, or if you're not coming to the concert and you have business in this part of santa clara, keep in mind, santa clara pd has already put out the warning, there will be heavy traffic on 101, 880, 237, great america parkway, san tomas and the lawrence expressway. if you have business down here, try to do it before -- well, they were saying 1:00 is when they were expecting traffic to pick up. 1:00, being several hours before the show starts at 6:30. so this feels like super bowl 50 to me, it has that kind of vibe as far as the shutdowns and what people are anticipating. whether that turns out to be the case, i don't know. that's what it feels like. >> i would imagine. it's like the halftime show that keeps going. >> the lead-up just keeps going. >> thanks so much, bob. and if you've got any other questions surrounding that taylor swift bay area visit, we've got you covered.

garden apartments in san mateo. several hours later, officers arrested the suspect, 39-year-old mark mechikoff, in san jose. one of the victim's neighbors say officers initially went door to door trying to find him. >> we haven't found him yet, oh, we're still looking for him. it was very scary, yeah. >> you didn't know if he was behind your home? >> exactly. i didn't know if he was hiding in the bush, if he was going to come knocking on my door next. >> investigators believe this is a case of domestic violence. they also say someone in nevada was the one who saw the video streaming on facebook and contacted bay area authorities. an east bay chemical plant is facing a hefty fine for allegedly incorrectly monitoring emissions. the bay area air quality management district issued a $1.5 million fine to chem trade in richmond. regulators say the company's monitoring system routinely underreported its sulphur

dioxide emissions. it happened over an eight-year span. inhaling sulphur dioxide can lead to respiratory problems and the district is saying it will use the money to improve air quality in richmond. chemtrade so far is not commenting. we've been hearing a lot about taylor swift. happening this weekend, some music lovers will flock to the north bay for napa's blue note jazz festival. this year the festival celebrates the 50th anniversary of hip hop. dave chappelle will host and the headliners include mary j. blige tonight and tomorrow, and chance the rapper is on sunday. there's also wine, food, and of course a lot of great jazz. >> seems like there's so much to do whether you're in the south bay, the north bay. >> so much going on. >> which is why we love the bay area. >> exactly. >> no place like it. >> the weather, can't beat it. >> you absolutely cannot. let's get you out there and see all of the fun events planned this weekend.

into the '60s. and tomorrow maybe you want to take your pups out to do something over the weekend. we're looking at pawsitively summer, i think this might be the last one, and we'll see temperatures comfortable enough for your pups and you to enjoy all of the activities going o. we'll start off the morning with a little bit of fog but then mixing out to plenty of sunshine. we'll take a look at our extended outlook in just a little bit. i want to leave you with these pawsitively cute notes before we check on the roads. not so pleasant. not so cute. it's still going on for southbound 280, the alert continues, three lanes are blocked southbound 280, including the on-ramp for westborough boulevard. you can see westborough crossing 280. 380 is a bit to the south. that gives you a good reference of whether you can get off to avoid that mess. we're looking at a smooth flow of traffic outside of this one crash. there are injuries involved and i'm concerned about those

parties as well. later on we're looking ahead toward oracle park where the giants are playing. it's an evening game and there will be some options. mass transit will take you to oracle and we list our options. caltrain is my favorite because it gets there a couple blocks away from oracle park. swift transit is an option getting to levi's stadium, vta, all lines lead to the orange line. avoid the roadways bob talked about because there will be congestion in this area of santa clara. back to you. >> that's probably the only thing that won't be swift tonight, the traffic. >> i like that orange, though, because go giants. >> there you go. 6:42. talk about a roller coaster week for basketball star lebron james, started with his son bronny suffering cardiac arrest, but now hopefully signs the worst is past them. ahead, the questions experts believe that doctors still must answer. president biden working with congress to make military service safer for women.

good morning. it's 6:45. last friday in july, so make the best of it. let's go over to martinez. good morning to you. a little chilly start, and then by your lunchtime hour you might

toss your cardigan to the side. we'll talk more about the weather in a few minutes. it's oak, a smooth and easy drive. it's friday. folks heading north toward the bay bridge toll plaza. the metering lights are on and there's no backup. we do have this alert on the peninsula. we're following 280 and the slowing coming up. everyone is sleeping in today. a quarter until 7:00 right now. it's always busy at the white house. >> president biden has decided to bar the head of hong kong from attending a conference in san francisco. >> scott mcgrew joins us now. it was not long ago the hong kong representative was in a thriving democracy. >> for many years, but now the head of hong kong definitely representing china's interest. a lot has changed in that city since the chinese took control from the british. one of the biggest changes is the head of hong kong, what they call the chief executive.

right now that is john li, the "washington post" the first to report the white house will bar him from attending asian pacific cooperation meeting in san francisco in november because of his record on human rights. now, honestly, this will probably cause chinese president xi to skip that meeting in san francisco as well. the senate has passed a defense bill, which among other things would give pay raises to our sailors, soldiers and marines. the bill goes to the house where it almost certainly will not pass because republicans there want to add restrictions like a ban on paid travel for abortion and cuts to programs that promote diversity and inclusion. also today, president biden will take the last step to change the uniform code of military justice to better protect women in the service from sexual assault. the president will sign an executive order taking the power to investigate serious military crimes like sexual assault away

from the commanders of the units and bases where they occurred and give that power to special military investigators. it's the last step in completing the change placed into law last year. and a lot going on in the world of former president trump. yesterday prosecutors filed a superseding indictment adding more charges to the florida case. we expect an indictment in a separate grand jury in washington any time now, perhaps today. that one over the criminal attempt to overturn the election. a state of georgia indictment into election interference could come in the next few days as well. lastly, california senator dianne feinstein needed the help of an aide after she appeared confused as to what she was supposed to do. she was supposed to vote on that defense bill. instead, she attempted several times to read a speech. just vote aye, an aide told her. her confusion comes days just after 81-year-old senate minority leader mitch mcconnell froze mid sentence for about 20

seconds. senator mcconnell says he'll continue his position, senator feinstein's office says the senator was preoccupied with what it called a chaotic hearing. age, of course, has become an issue for voters. president biden is 80 right now and right now donald trump is 77. >> interesting to see how that plays out. thanks a lot, scott. some good news for bronny james, the son of lebron james, who suffered a cardiac arrest while practicing on monday. he has now been released from the hospital. the 18-year-old is resting at home and his dad, lebron, is thanking friends and fans for all the love and support. one heart doctor not involved in treating bronny tells "today" the important thing now is to figure out why it happened in e first place. >> the ongoing workup is a battery of tests looking at the heart muscle, the blood flow, the electrical activity, as well as everything else, to try to figure out why did this happen so that you can hopefully prevent it from ever happening

again. >> he says many things can lead to cardiac arrest, some are direct problems with the heart and in some cases it can be tied to other organs and the heart is just responding. a young latino entrepreneur outside the bay area going viral for his handmade tote bags made out of sustainable materials. salinas native started a business called la segunda where he transforms blankets into tote bags. gonzalez makes every tote by hand in his garage. his slogan, handmade. >> why don't i make a bag, i've never seen that before. in society we waste items because it's so easy to discard them and not put them to use. i'm trying to put it out there that you can make something with these materials. >> he's already had already than 1 million views, 200,000 likes on tiktok, and i jumped on his

instagram page this morning. most of those are all sold out. >> they're beautiful. i want one. >> i do, too. they have guadalupe, it's cool. >> i like the surprise, too, when you go to the interview part and he starts out with, yo, these bags i'm making. >> i love it. >> that's what you get when it's handmade, with a lot of love. >> we're loving this forecast. >> yeah. some of us might not need heavy mexican blankets right now, some of us are seeing warmer summer nights. let's see what's happening this weekend. santa clara county fair is still going on. if you didn't get tickets to taylor swift, there's plenty of things to do around the bay area. we're going to see temperatures going to about 79 degrees and then cooling off into a comfortable weekend with a little breeze as you enjoy the fair. we've got another game at oracle

where we'll see wind gusts, to bring a beanie and blanket to keep you cozy in the bay area. as far as the rest of us seeing winds picking up, by around 5:00 we're seeing winds pick up through napa, through the east bay, over the altamont pass and down through san jose. dying down a little bit as we go into our saturday around the bay. what can we expect with our temperatures? we'll keep it cool at 66 in san francisco, 82 in dublin and in scotts valley, then slow 90s are staying in our inner most valleys, even into tomorrow and sunday you won't feel too much of a warm-up, so perfect to do anything that you really want around the bay area. maybe some pool weather in concord and in morgan hill, seeing those low 90s. by sunday we are bringing them up just a few degrees. we're seeing 94 in fairfield, 93 in san martin, and a comfortable day in santa cruz at 77. the final days of july, going into august, we'll see san francisco staying cool and breezy over the next couple of

days, for any plans that you have in the city. a little more increasing cloud cover as we go into the first couple of days of august. meantime, inland valleys will stay nice and comfortable, breeze picking up in the afternoon, helping to cool down those 90s. no crazy heat to speak of and we'll see comfortable 80s to start. next week watching the sierra thunderstorms, we'll keep an eye on that. let's go to the roads, mike inouye. >> we're looking at friday light for the most part. we have slowdowns, but these are mild, as we expect before 7:00 on a friday. now, one bigger backup here, unexpectedly big, south 280, coming down the peninsula to south san francisco, this crash blocking one lane. there's a lot of activity there. some injuries reported. i'm tracking that as well. concerned about the people involved. the drivers, though, can avoid that. you can jump on anywhere south of there. it's friday light. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike.

welcome back. we're moving you forward with a look at the top stories this morning, including people in oakland demanding more action on crime. >> later today leaders will hold a day of action in east oakland, meant to address a lot of gun violence going on. last night an overflow crowd aired their frustrations with alameda county d.a. pamela price and oakland police. some were left outside due to fire codes. frustrations boiled over on both sides with critics calling price too soft on crime. others were there to support the d.a.'s strategy, which includes in some cases dropping enhancement charges, with the idea county jails are already too overcrowded. >> i want to hear from pamela price why kids who assaulted me and my friend and many others have been released and are out doing it again. >> a report was issued from a commission set up by governor newsom to look for the first

time in decades at our sentencing structure, and they recommended that we stop using enhancements. >> others called out oakland police, claiming it's dropping the ball on stopping carjackings and break-ins. police argued oftentimes their hands are tied by policies or budget restraints. this morning firefighters still aren't saying if they know what sparked a big fire last night in san francisco's sunset district. two people, one of them a firefighter, suffered mine injuries. the fire started at about 8:30 in a two-level house at 19th and irving near golden gate park and is now under control. we're counting down to mayor taylor swift taking over swifty clara, and a heads-up for anyone thinking they may still try to attend. >> the big shows happen tonight and tomorrow. they're prompting state attorney general rob bonta to issue a consumer alert. beware of counterfeit tickets,

which can leave you high and dry. they recommend buying tickets from authorized vendors, don't fall for discounted prices, especially if it seems too good to be true. the "today" show starts now.
