6:02 am
>> i like to stay away from the bad news. >> westbound interstate 80 between vallejo and hercules opened hours earlier than expected. caltrans was pacing that work to be ready for this morning's commute. they did it in less time than that. mike is going to talk about that in a few minutes. we want to check in with meteorologist kari hall, who is tracking the forecast as well. i am thoroughly enjoying it. >> i love this weather. >> it has been nice. i like the cooler weather, especially in the inland valleys. we're starting out clear and it's foggy in san francisco. so we're going to go above the fog, taking a look from our sutro tower camera, to enjoy that sunrise this morning. you're not seeing it much in the city right now. it's going to be partly to mostly cloudy to start out, and as we go throughout the day, that sunshine will be back for a little while before the fog rolls right back in. so taking a look at those temperatures, we'll reach into the upper 60s today, 75 in san mateo, and 77 in hayward. moving over toward concord, it
6:03 am
will be a little bit warmer, reaching 87 degrees and 85 today in morgan hill. so we'll get a look at what's ahead coming up in a few minutes. mike, you've got the news that's probably not new to you if you're commuting. >> not breaking news if you've been following this. the closure of i-80, the carquinez bridge westbound from vallejo toward hercules reopened 12 hours early, as we just told you. they got done with the paving work. you're going to notice better landscaping. they were able to take care of a number of things. this was traffic as it was reinstated across the span. this morning we see green sensors, a nice, easy drive. the slowing is on the approach, similar area as approaching 780, but this happens every week, same thing for highway 37, getting through vallejo and out of vallejo are an issue because of the volume of traffic. more slowing through richmond because of the volume of traffic and the bay bridge toll plaza with more slowing across the span. nothing going on but volume. i keep talking about the volume of traffic but it will be
6:04 am
lighter overall as we see folks returning from vacation. we're looking at the bay bridge where the backup had formed on schedule, and it is filling in lanes. nothing dramatic or for the rest of the bay. mild build for the tri-valley. a little through hayward and union city. developing this morning in oakland, an innocent bystander was shot while on a walk near snow park not far from lake merritt. so far, police are offering new details other than the woman was struck by a stray bullet. she is now in critical condition. neighbors say they often saw her on the trail and now they're worried about what this means for their community. >> the community seems welcoming so far. i know there's some dangerous stuff happening, but hopefully it doesn't continue to taint oakland as, like, a bad, dangerous place. >> we did ask opd if they have a description of the gunman, but they haven't told us whether they have one yet. they do say this is an active investigation and they're
6:05 am
encouraging anyone who might have seen something to call opd. we're going to take you to berkeley now, where police are investigating a violent carjacking that happened outside alta bates campus on dwight way at shaddock. it happened just about 24 hours ago. the armed robbers targeted a 64-year-old nurse. she was not injured but her car was later found abandoned in oakland. the exodus is now under way for attendees who really got more than they bargained for at this year's burning man. >> not in a good way. late last night it came full circle for burners who waited out that muddy mess in the black rock desert. [ cheers and applause ] >> there it goes, following a few challenging days. they finally celebrated the burning of the man, which had already been twice postponed. the gates in and out of black rock city are now open, but as
6:06 am
today organizers are encouraging attendees to wait as long as they can to leave. >> kris and kira, we're here at what is known as the gate, the main entrance into and out of burning man. less than 24 hours ago this road behind me was partially covered in mud. as you can see, thousands of festival goers are making their way out, leaving a burning man they won't soon forget. >> this is my camp. we've been breaking down. the camp behind me is totally empty and gone. some camps are still kind of doing business as usual, but most people are breaking down to some degree. >> reporter: authorities have identified that person who died, the next of kin has been notified. it could take weeks before a cause of death is known, but festival organizers and the sheriff's department say there's no connection it was connected to the weather. >> thank you so much, liz. developing this morning in washington, first lady dr. jill
6:07 am
biden has covid for the second time since her husband became president. "today in the bay"'s brie jackson is live in d.c. brie, a lot of people are getting covid again, this last surge. what's the white house saying? >> reporter: yeah, that's right. good morning, kris. so the white house says that the first lady's symptoms are mild and she'll be staying at the biden home in delaware. president biden has tested negative. the president will continue to test regularly. no word if his travel schedule will be affected by this. dr. jill biden's diagnosis comes as new research reveals the latest covid mutation may be far less contagious than originally feared. the strain ba.286 has popped up in 11 countries, including here in the u.s. it sparked worldwide fears because it looks radically different than any other variant we've seen so far. many scientists even claim that this current strain could be
6:08 am
just as bad as omicron, but two new studies suggest our immune systems are better able to fight this strain than other variants so far, meaning fewer infections and less hospitalizations. now, the first lady first tested positive for covid-19 back in 2021. at the time she was prescribed the antiviral paxlovid and told to stay away from others for five days. >> we know that those others include the president. a lot of families going through the same kind of temporary separation. thank you, brie. it is almost 6:08 right now. crews are now in the midst of a massive cleanup effort in the san joaquin river delta after fuel spilled from a sinking tugboat. it's happening near bethel island in contra costa county. coast guard teams responded yesterday morning and spent the whole day deploying containment booms. it's not clear how much fuel spilled, but for perspective,
6:09 am
the tugboat that sank can hold 1,000 gallons of diesel and 600 gallons of oil at full capacity. >> not good for the environment. let's take a live look at san francisco this morning, and a nice, cool blanket of air, clouds overhead. it's making things really comfortable, especially for sleeping. >> it's so funny, you love this cooldown, kari does, mike does. but i think a lot of people in san francisco are sick of it by now. >> that's true. i was talking about that with ginger. >> head across the bay. you'll get some sunshine. we're going to see more of that sunny sky as we head into the afternoon and we're keeping the comfortable weather. take a look at san jose. we're starting out at 8:00 in the morning at 60 degrees and only headed up to about 80 today. it's going to be perfect for those outdoor activities, as people are heading back to work and school. 82 for a high today in dublin and oakland reaching 75.
6:10 am
we'll see some low 80s for much of the north bay. novato reaching 82 degrees. and tomorrow may be even slightly cooler. you know what that means, san francisco. it's going to be another foggy, cool, windy day. so we're seeing those temperatures even inland giving a little bit of a break to that high heat, thanks to that westerly wind and the coastal fog that we're seeing. so i'll let you know if there's any changes ahead. we were hoping for lower gas prices at the pump. $4.59 at santa clara, there are a number of $4.59s there, from diamonds to star, star gas and mart in antioch. that's lone tree way's location, where they're leading contra costa county with $4.79. that price point is scattered throughout the county as well. same $4.79 is only at one location in marin county, lucky
6:11 am
service on sir francis drake boulevard. that comes to us from all of you through gasbuddy.com. on the roadways, a smooth flow of traffic. we expect that on a tuesday after a three-day weekend. vasco shows a bit of slowing. 580 feeds through that area. 680 here moves nicely, a little bit of slowing as you approach the split with 24, the same thing shows on our travel times as well. kirker pass road holding at about the same travel time here from pittsburg into walnut creek. 680, highway 4, that route is now growing closer to 40 minutes than to 30. a smooth flow of traffic approaching the bay bridge at the toll plaza. we have the metering lights on and slowing continues to build toward richmond. back to you. >> thank you, mike. coming out on top. still ahead, the bay area university just ranked among the best of the best anywhere in the u.s. and big news in business, as a big chip company prices for its ipo.

good tuesday morning. the time is 6:14. let's head to brentwood with a look at the morning trend. it is all clear, light wind, 61 degrees. it's going to be sunny today. a nice warm-up, but no extreme heat in our immediate future. so it looks pretty good, not only today, but the next few days. we'll talk about where we may see slight changes in our microclimate forecast coming up. we've seen some changes just with the volume of traffic. 101 through palo alto does move smoothly. more taillights in the last few seconds up toward willow. southbound coming out of the city, no delays where the build is on for silicon valley. good morning, very happy tuesday to you. now, all the data on our board this morning is from last friday's close. the markets were closed for labor day. google turns 25 this week, 25 years since its founding at stanford. i'll get to tesla in just a second. big news in the chip industry. arm, the british-based company,
6:16 am
has set its ipo price between $47 and $51 a share. it's been a while since we've had a blockbuster ipo. arm was purchased by japan's softbank a few years back for $32 billion. they're going to offer or float about 10% of the company's shares. not clear when the ipo is going to happen, but it will happen on the new york stock exchange. mercedes is out with an ev concept car which looks nice, but mercedes says it has a much longer range than tesla. tesla has been the range leader for years. it will come in a sedan, station wagon and two suvs. meantime, tesla continues to cut prices to drive demand. they did it again at the start of this month. on average, they do it about every 38 days. here are the price cuts so far on s and x this year. our graphics system only allows me five data points, so i put
6:17 am
together two april price cuts. i'm not saying they're going to cut again, but if they did, if they stuck to the average, the next cut would be columbus day, early october. well, the money that drives silicon valley startups like tesla comes from venture capital and venture capitalists are trying to figure out what's next as they reassess the value of some investments. we talked about how they're navigating these very weird times and we'll talk about his first job at mcdonald's. sand hill road is where you find a lot of the big venture firms. kris and kira, kari hall is a big fan. she's been pressuring me to make one change. we are offering sand hill road in a pumpkin spice. all the same listening deliciousness, you can find it on sand hill road, and you can find sand hill road anywhere you find podcasts, including apple

"forbes" is out this morning with its top 25 public colleges across the u.s., and making the top of the list a school right here in the bay area. uc berkeley took that number one spot and california schools actually took four of the top five spots, including ucla, uc san diego and uc santa barbara. uc davis, san diego state and uc irvine are all among the top 25. the magazine says the rankings are based on return on investment, student success, student debt, as well as alumni leadership and influence. this is a constant conversation in our home right now. i have a high school senior.
6:19 am
we'll be looking at that "forbes" magazine article. >> i was going to say raj mathai's own san diego state. he's a proud aztec. it is 6:18 right now. trending this morning, thousands crowded into sofi stadium in inglewood for the final night of beyonce's tour. >> it happened to be queen bey's birthday and an absolute legend had to help her celebrate. >> happy birthday to you!

6:21 am
i'm just expanding. >> my goodness. >> they'll put it in anything. >> it is the season. we have some cool weather, it kind of feels like fall outside. as we take a live look outside in dublin, all clear and it's nice and cool to start out your morning. time to get those kids up and ready, back to school today in milpitas. it's in the upper 50s at the drop-off time. at pick-up time, you'll be able to enjoy the time standing out there talking to all of the other parents. it's going to be in the upper 70s and lots of sunshine. take a look at our temperatures for the south bay, reaching 82 for cupertino, 82 for east san jose, and about the same in gilroy. we move over toward the east bay, where it will be a little warmer compared to yesterday. concord reaching 87 degrees, 85 in livermore, and 79 today in fremont. then for the coast, it's in the upper 60s and then for palo alto it's in the upper 70s, san mateo
6:22 am
75 degrees, and 60s in san francisco, north bay highs reach 77 in napa and 85 in clear lake. some spots a little warmer today. overall, we're looking at mild weather. livermore will continue to see those temperatures reaching into the 80s. if you make weekend plans outside, it's going to be slightly warmer on sunday into monday. but then it's heading back down for the middle of next week. we're not seeing any extreme heat, even as we extend that forecast out ten days. as we take a look at our seven-day inland temperatures, overall we'll see it going up a degree or two for the weekend, but once again, not a big shift in temperatures. we're settling into this nice and mild pattern, while san francisco will continue to see fog, there may be a little more sunshine for your weekend outdoor activities. mike, even though it's tuesday and people are getting back to work, it seems fairly smooth. >> it's calm. it's not clear, it's calm. we're looking at a smooth drive
6:23 am
to the toll plaza where the backup is here, and it formed right on schedule. although we see some spots reflecting a lighter volume, like highway 4 holding steady, but still 242 and now 680 slowing in the concord, pleasant hill, walnut creek. we see the build in richmond, not as dramatic. still, the build is on for those portions of the east bay, contra costa county in particular. alameda county, slowing around the dublin interchange for south 680 and off of 230 all the way toward union city. pretty standard, despite a couple of scattered incidents. we're looking at travel time holding steady for vasco road. for 15 minutes, we've held the same travel time so there's slowing around the bend at dalton, but nothing dramatic toward 580. back to you. it's 6:23 right now. this is kind of nuts. it's a scandal playing out in china surrounding the great wall. two people deliberately making a

6:27 am
life sentence for killing his ex-girlfriend. he's been spotted at least four times, most recently on sunday. one man said he actually saw the fugitive inside his home last friday before he took off. >> disbelief. yes, my heart was beating fast. i think if anybody hears this, they put themselves in that situation, you know, unless you're a trained navy seal, your heart is beating. >> i would say. authorities are not commenting on how cavalcante escaped or how long it took authorities to find out he was missing. new at 6:00, outrage in china after construction workers intentionally damaged part of the great wall. it happened at the end of august in northern china. authorities say two workers are now being detained, after using an excavator to dig a gap into the wall. they were apparently looking for a shortcut to get to their nearby worksite. the damage is said to be
6:28 am
irreversible. unesco made the great wall a world heritage site in 1987 and about one-third of the wall is said to be in ruins. that's commonly in more remote areas. next, top stories we're covering, which include the long-awaited exodus from burning man. what a dramatic ending. it's taking a little longer than people were hoping to get out, but burners making their way home out of black rock desert home out of black rock desert after the gates officially alaska airlines $99 companion fare means that you can bring your best friend... you know, one of us is gonna have to change? but we're twinning? oh yay. ♪♪ ♪ we care a lot. ♪

people know it might rain a little bit and it had been sprinkling on and off, but it was 14 hours straight of rain, which i don't think anyone has seen at burning man before. >> leaving the muddy mess behind. the mass exodus under way at burning man. we'll hear from bay area residents heading home after an adventure maybe they didn't quite have in mind. closer to home, a violent crime caught on camera. an update on what robbers took from this convenience store and what police are now saying about the discovery of a body just steps away. and a welcome surprise for bay area commuters as things are all clear this morning on interstate 80, well ahead of the caltrans deadline. we'll tell you why the agency is calling this project a difference maker. this is "today in the bay." thanks so much for joining us on
6:32 am
this back-to-work tuesday morning. i'm kris sanchez. >> i'm kira klapper. marcus and laura will be back tomorrow. they have the morning off. before we get to the forecast with meteorologist kari hall, we wanted to show you this, a live picture of the sunrise in the east bay. it's nice to see that golden glow. we're going to check in with meteorologist kari hall to see how things are looking out there. you were about to sneeze. you held it. >> you're a real pro. >> for now. let's get you started this morning. more people heading back to work and school, and you can tell it is much more busy as you also need to grab those sunglasses. in the east bay, pleasant hill temperatures in the upper 50s. it's going to be a beautiful day, slowly warming up, heading for the 80s, and we'll see mid-80s for the south county,
6:33 am
while san jose will reach up to 80 this afternoon, reaching 77 in hayward, and 76 in vallejo. near the coast, it's staying in the 60s today, and also 60s in san francisco, with our north bay highs in the low to mid-80s. we'll talk about any changes ahead. mike, let's start with that report of some of the bridges. >> you showed the san mateo bridge definitely getting more crowded. at the bay bridge we've held steady. it's not clear, but it's moving and holding steady because the volume seems to be a bit lighter. we see your typical distribution for the slower spots, but they're not as slow as they typically are at this time on a tuesday. we're looking at a smooth drive. good news, as we talked about at the beginning of the show, it was scheduled to be opened at 5:00 a.m., but opened about 12 hours earlier. we'll talk more about the carquinez bridge. it's open for business without any problem coming into contra costa county and alameda county.
6:34 am
back to you. >> thank you, mike. the exodus is now officially under way at burning man. those who literally stuck it out in the mud are now joining those who decided to leave early from that weekend deluge of rain that left them stranded in the black rock desert. >> "today in the bay"'s bob redell is live for us this morning. we kind of saw for ourselves that getting out of there is still a big challenge, even though the gates opened more than 12 hours ago now. >> reporter: correct. good morning. yes, we have seen live pictures within the past few moments of a long line of vehicles trying to leave burning man. you might recall that those gates, as you mentioned, did open yesterday, but last night the organizers tweeted out, it is at least a seven hour wait trying to get out, so your better bet is to wait until today, which a number of people are clearing doing. you'll recall over the weekend around 70,000 so-called burners were told to shelter in place
6:35 am
and conserve food and water as it began to rain. >> all right, we're having a little trouble with bob's microphone, but as he said, people are finally able to make their way out. usually it takes about eight hours to leave the black rock desert. because of the mess, it is taking people a lot longer. we did talk with a resident from sausalito named anastasia, who left yesterday as soon as the gates reopened. she said she went straight to the car wash, she was stuck on the road with thousands of burners for hours. >> they told us how to behave and there were rangers responsible for kind of keeping the spirit. >> it created a different kind of challenge and adventure, so i think our team was just ready to, like, stick it and go strong. >> we survived. >> we stayed positive. >> they kept talking about
6:36 am
positivity. it makes a difference. burners, some of them, told us they wanted to see the whole burning man sculpture, the centerpiece of the festival burn down, which is an annual ritual. it was supposed to happen last night. others waiting for their gear to dry out. law enforcement is still investigating, though, the death of one person. the cause is still under investigation. organizers say it's not related to the storm, but we'll have to wait and see what law enforcement finds out. we'll hear from bob in our 7:00 hour. >> 6:35 now, and new overnight, caltrain service is expected to be back to normal this morning after a train struck and killed someone last night near the redwood city station. we don't have a lot of details on the person who died, but when we find out, we'll let you know. we have new video that shows armed robbers terrorizing cashiers at an oakland 7-eleven near lake merritt. police say the robbers got away
6:37 am
with $10,000 in tobacco products. yesterday police discovered a man deceased on the sidewalk just steps from that same store. investigators are calling it a homicide and possible dumping of a body, but they do not believe it was tied to the robbery. in the aftermath of the maui firestorm, people in one neighborhood are praising the heroic action of one man who stopped to help even as he was stuck trying to evacuate. >> it's right there in the bushes. >> what? >> the fire, it's in the bushes! >> now, that man and his wife were leaving lahaina and they saw flames in front of a neighbor's home, so the man jumped into action, using a hose to put out that fire, and that home was saved. the couple says they never received any official alerts about the fire. >> i haven't personally heard of a single notification that anybody received in all of my social network period. >> out of how many people do you think you've talked to?
6:38 am
>> hundreds. >> now, the emergency response is still under investigation but the owner of the home that was saved said he only figured out what happened when he saw that video later on social media. he does say he plans to put that couple in his will. >> i love that. here locally, a heads-up for commuters in the north bay, beginning today crews begin work on a massive renovation project on highway 12. the hooker creek bridge is being replaced due to degradation and erosion from the creek water running below it. as a result, highway 12 between madrone will be closed. a similar project recently was completed on the nearby sonoma creek bridge. that replacement project is expected to last at least 30 days. a bit of a surprise for commuters who travel between vallejo and martinez, the caltrans shutdown of westbound interstate 80 wrapped 12 hours early. it was originally set to reopen this morning for the commute.
6:39 am
workers started repaving the road last thursday night. caltrans says it knows the project caused inconveniences for many people over the long holiday weekend, but one spokesman called it short-term pain for long-term gain. >> 12 hours early is great. >> excellent. new this morning, good news in the north bay as well. sonoma water district's two main reservoirs are at their highest combined storage levels since 1985. two years ago lake mendocino and sonoma were barely half full. that, of course, changed after all of the rain we got in the winter. the agency points out the reservoirs are also at their highest storage levels ever for this time of year. >> very good news. a live look outside now in san jose, where that cooler weather is still with us. yesterday turned out to be quite lovely, a cool morning, we saw some sunshine. let's check in with meteorologist kari hall to see what we will have today. a lot of people returning to real life today.
6:40 am
>> yes, back to work, back to school. we're keeping still that nice weather we had over the holiday weekend. that continues today. as we take a live look outside in oakland, it's a partly cloudy to mostly cloudy start to the day and we'll see it clearing out around 9:00 to 10:00. temperatures right now in the upper 50s, but we are going to head for some sunshine today, reaching 75 degrees, and in hayward expect a high of 77, and 84 in san martin. it will be about the same in santa rosa. we'll get a look ahead in a few minutes. mike, you see a delay coming into los gatos. >> we have northbound 17 coming into los gatos slow because of a crash. there are actually two separate crashes i'm hearing about, both involving a single car in the same area approaching that santa cruz off-ramp. it affects folks coming off the summit. southbound hasn't seen any slowing, but it will be a distraction with the activity. just a note if you're heading south down toward the santa cruz
