few temperatures overhead. in the 60s, and we will dip another couple degrees before sunrise, and the rest of the day we will see it clearing out, and temperatures staying in the 60s throughout much of the morning and reach into the mid-70s. as we take a look at what to expect, it will be in the upper 60s for san francisco today, and 85 for concord. 86 for livermore, and 86 in morgan hill. we do see a slight warm-up for the weekend and i will have more on that in just a few minutes. mike, we had a freeway closed for most of the day yesterday? >> exactly. the closure here, there was pavement sludge, and we talked about that, and it was the stuff that went into paving the roadways, and the westbound direction was closed -- basically it was closed through the 11:00 p.m. news, and it reopened this morning. we will look at the map, and for those that don't know where 780 is, here's the carquinez bridge,

and this was closed yesterday, and both ways are open now. we are looking at a smooth drive coming down, and westbound 80 is the smooth route. the rest of the east bay moving smoothly. we have a disabled vehicle that we will check on. and the altamont, the drive just starting to build, right on cue. back to you. >> thank you. students rocked by gunfire return to class today in oakland. while the case seems closed, concerns are front and center. >> today in the bay's bob redell is live outside the skyline high school. parents are demanding security. >> reporter: yeah, some parents are asking the oakland unified to install metal detectors at skyline. this was the scene on skyline

late tuesday morning, and there was a large police response and the school was locked down after somebody fired a gun on campus, and they say the shooter was at least one fellow teenager. opd did arrest two teenagers. parents say there has been too much violence on campus, including a stabbing last year and a reported of a gun on the school grounds and fights. they are reviewing the security measures. students were given time to process what happened on tuesday, and today the district will provide counsellors to students or staff that need to talk to somebody. reporting live outside skyline high school in oakland, bob redell for "today in the bay." >> thank you. a plan to boost safety, and

it follows a string of incidents. last month two students were stabbed on the campus of james lick high school. they survived, but police later determined the teenagers involved were not part of the school, and a new coalition has been formed. this is where the leaders plan to address board members. the nfl season is yet to begin, but suddenly things are looking a little brighter for the 49 faithful. their top defender back in the fold. >> sorry for the scare. >> let's go win some games. that's nick bosa arriving in san josé last night via private jet from florida. there's no need for bosa to fly coach these days. he just got signed a new

five-year $170 million contract, ending his hold out and making him the highest nfl player in history. >> glad we got it worked out on everybody's side, and we love nick and he loves being here and he earned it and will earn it going forward, too. >> shanahan said bosa will practice today with the team and should be ready to roll for sunday's season opener in pittsburgh. >> you don't have to wait until sunday to get your nfl launch, because the season kicks off tonight here on nbc bay area. this is at arrowhead stadium this morning. this is where the super bowl champs, kansas city chiefs will host the detroit lions in a specia edition of football. don't forget, tonight's c starts at 4:00. kickoff is at 5:20. we will have a special postgame

newscast for you at 9:00 p.m. families across the south bay, well, they are feeling the sting this morning of a surprise closure. a single post on social media raging waters is saying good-bye. >> that's right. to the dismay of a lot of families. today in the bay's kris sanchez is here, and talk about being left high and dry. kids of all ages want to know what happened. >> i had the news on when i was making dinner, and my daughter and i were, like, forever? that's how we found out. and the raging waters workers also surprised. raging waters has been a favorite for summers, and they announced the close for summer, which we expected, but they won't reopen next summer, which we did not expect and that's how the employees found out, too. they said it was a business decision, and the city that owns

the land tells us they only had a year left on their lease. city leaders say they will try and maximize the opportunity for something new. >> i think this is an opportunity for us as a city to be able to explore an amenity for the residents of our city that could provide entertainment, a place for community gathering and also a place for, you know, youth, especially in the area to have jobs. >> feels sad for the community, if anything. i grew up across the street, and it was a lot of jobs for a lot of the teenagers around here, and a lot of summertime money. >> the owners of raging waters shutdown the sacramento location about a year ago, so it was not the nicest place, and it was not like disneyland where it was constantly being spruced up, but it was still a nice place to go and a nice place for the kids to go. now we know great america is going to be going away at some

point, too. >> yeah, a lot of the adventure venue for kids, it's tough. >> the city says they have gotten contacted from people and businesses that would be interested -- >> oh, that's good. >> just not another mall. >> nobody is going to the mall either. another water park. >> that would be nice. >> thank you. it's eight after 5:00 right now. firefighters making good progress containing a grass fire. as of last night it was 50% contained. the so-called creek fire started yesterday afternoon at highway 29 south of lower lake. it burned a little under 30 acres. officials downgraded evacuation orders within a couple hours, but the fire teams are putting out hot spots and the cause is under investigation. and it has been pleasant

weather. >> yeah, slightly cooler than normal temperatures across much of the bay area. starting out with fog, and it's clearing out especially in san francisco. we are once again seeing the low clouds rolling back in and it may drizzle for a little while, but we will head towards more sunshine. morgan hill in the mid-50s. it will be cloudy through about 8:00, and then sunshine and 60s at 11:00, and 75 at noon. we will make it into the mid-80s for today. oakland headed for a high of 74 degrees, and 80 today in napa and in santa rosa. we will talk about what is ahead for the weekend coming up. might get you ready for the gas prices at the pump. >> there are lower prices i am talking about right here, but santa clara county, the best we can do in san josé, that specific city, 4.75 at express gas on redmond avenue here.

costco on hathaway, 4.77. and that's the best for hayward. and then marin county, it's quick serve at 5.25, and that's quite a jump but i wanted to represent that part of the bay. i did say i would check on this incident here, and this is northbound 880 at the 101 interchange. a disabled vehicle is out of lanes, and sounds like there's activity on the shoulder, and it might get narrow at the transition. watch for the activity and be prepared for that. no major problems. golden gate bridge, the cones are moved and starting to get ready for the morning commute. no problems northbound. next time you buy a car, privacy may not be included. coming up on "today in the bay," a reminder to check the fine print. at 5:25, the personal data car experts are gathering that may

leave you feeling vulnerable. and then just looking at gas prices, but major changes in drilling. we will look at that coming up. we will introduce you to a couple set to say "i do" in couple set to say "i do" in front of

cool start. low 60s and cloudy. it's what we usually see for this time of year. it will continue to clear out and we are headed back to some of the same weather we saw yesterday, only some minor tweaks for the weekend forecast, and we will talk about that coming up in a few minutes. 580, and your headlights out of the altamont. look at the bay bridge, and we will see how things are developing coming up. good thursday morning to you. we are seven days out from a major strike of the united auto workers. auto workers have seen all the big wins by unions around the united states, and said, you know, we would like better pay and better hours, too. this is not a stock. you see this every once in a while. this is west texas intermediate. this is oil. oil prices fell a bit even after

two big announcements this week. first, the saudis said they would continue to limit their production through the end of the year, and president biden surprised people by making two big announcements on wednesday. first, he is canceling the oil leases in the national wildlife refuge in alaska, the permits that president trump allowed to go forward. president biden set aside more than half of the national petroleum preserve in alaska as well, and drilling prohibited in 13 million of the 23 million acres of land. the national petroleum reserve is staggeringly big. doesn't look like it on the map, but 23 million acres in yellow makes it the size of indiana. it's exactly what it sounds like, land with oil underneath and set aside by the federal government for emergencies, and it was president harding that set that land aside and the oil in case the navy needed it in

the future, and it's home to a lot of wildlife. what does this mean for gas prices? well, we never really pulled oil out of the national reserves, so that doesn't change anything. we do pool oil out of the an arctic wildlife refuge, but that is just getting started. gas prices are going up worldwide, not just us. in japan, gas prices just set a new record since they have recorded them, and it's less than we pay every day, right? california has oil. japan doesn't. we produce about one-third of the oil we use. what is going on? the government subsidizes the gas prices. if you want your tax money going towards people buying gas, can you do it like the japanese model and have record prices of

$4 something a gallon. >> not my call. we will put it to a vote. thank you. >> you bet. talk about a roller coaster ride for san francisco's convention business. as google is folding up its tent, the city is getting a nice boost from the hottest technology. there is new word a.i. chatgpt will have it's first conference on november 6th. the one-day event will bring hundreds of developers from around the world, and also this week google announced plans to move its conference to las vegas. the bookings for that center are down 24%, and that was before the dreamforce convention considering a new location as well. and then love on full display at 30 rock. >> yeah, the "today" show this

morning will help a couple come full circle. this is when they tie the not on the plaza this morning. it's ben and mindy. mindy said the show always held a special place in her heart, and she first visited it and met hoda when she was younger, and then ben proposed to her on the "today" show, and he said he always knew she was the one. >> i grew up watching the "today" show. >> this young lady. what is your name? >> mindy. >> he realized those memories i had with my mom were special and important to me. >> this is something i was surprised by. hoda, an ordained minister, and guess what? hoda will be the one to marry the couple later this morning. congratulations to the couple. >> not the first time she has done that. weddings on the plaza. doesn't have to be june. we will have great weather here in the bay area, in case

they want to head here for their honeymoon and we will let them know what to expect as we head into the weekend. outside, the temperatures and the forecast for the morning in santa rosa, temperatures were in the mid-50s. it's a cloudy start. we will continue to see the clouds and temperatures in the mid-50s through about 9:00, and then clearing sunny and very nice and the weather we have seen from the past few days continues today. here's a look at our high temperatures. we are back into the low and mid-80s for the south bay with los gatos reaching 85 degrees. 86 in morgan hill. for the east bay, mostly mid-80s with antioch headed for 88 degrees, and 84 in danville. in hayward, expect a high of 78 degrees. we are going to keep it mild as well for much of the peninsula with mid to upper 70s for san mateo, redwood city. palo alto reaching 80 today, and 60s along the coastline. we are back in the 60s for san francisco and for the northbound, expect it to reach

80 in santa rosa and 88 degrees. clearlake and novato reachingle 88 degrees. it gets slightly warmer for the weekend, going from 90 today to 95 on monday, and then into next week those temperatures come down just a bit so the spike in temperatures doesn't last that long. as we take a look at now hurricane nova over performing on the forecast, it's now a category 5 hurricane off the coast of mexico, and it's moving quickly and is expected to weaken as it moves up the baja, california, peninsula, and basically well out over the pacific and not expected to affect any land. we are talking in the atlantic, hurricane lee, now a category 1 hurricane. they have been watching this from the caribbean, because it's expected to intensify and curve back out into the atlantic, maybe affecting bermuda.

they are not expecting a major impact on the east coast. closer to home, look the our inland temperatures and what to expect. a slight warming trend going into the end of the weekend and early next week. sunshine continues in that forecast while san francisco is going to have nice and mild weather with low 70s for the weekend. mike, you were going to show us the bay bridge toll plaza? >> yeah, i was, so here it is. the pavement is so sparsely populated, but we are seeing more traffic flow per each lane, and i didn't count it but just did a visual. slowing already as we go up the incline, and we lose lanes getting on to the span itself. and looking at a smooth drive across all of these bridges for the toll plaza. 780 fully reopened late last night or early this morning, depending how you look at it. alameda county just showing a

little build. 580 out of the altamont over here. >> thank you, mike. it's 5:22. we are celebrating the return of football, but not just tonight. >> how about the first ever season opener for girls high school flag football? a look at bay area history made

bay, and that will be on repeat for today and tomorrow. slight changes for the weekend and there are so many events going on and we will do a wrap up off the events around the bay area, and the temperatures. that's coming up in a few minutes. mike, how does the traffic look? >> here's 680, splitting off 680 and 24. these folks will make the curve over here. no problems. here on the maps, right, 680 coming off the benicia bridge. highway 37 just started with a little sensor build. same for highway 4. no drama for the bay bridge toll plaza or the rest of the bay. back to you. >> thank you. new calls for safety in oakland after a 4-year-old girl recently died in a tragic accident. >> ginger conejero saab joins us from the news room.

ginger, the girl and her father were out for a bike ride and then it took a turn nobody expected. >> yeah, a tragic story. it's very hard to start your day off with. oakland department of transportation are acknowledging the city is behind the curve when it comes to biker's safety, and they add it has been a historic. they are reminding drivers to be mindful of bicyclists, especially when opening doors. the grief and pain was seen last night for the memorial for the 4-year-old girl that was riding on the back of her dad's bicycle around lake merritt on august 6th. a driver who was sitting in a parked car opened his door and knocked her and her dad into

oncoming traffic. they were not hit by any cars, and when she was initially examined her vitals looked to be okay, but later that night she was unresponsive. she was found to have a blood clot. >> the doctors confirmed that maya was never going to wake up again and that we could keep her body alive but she would never know us. >> i am hoping that maya's legacy would be the city doing something about bike safety. >> really heartbreaking to hear from the family there. the city saying they will put up signage reminding drivers of bikers, and that will happen soon. the department of transportation said their goal is to repave the

entire street by 2027. as for maya's family, they are not pressing charges against the man that opened his car door, but they want a change in biker safety and that's how they want to honor maya. back to you. >> thank you, ginger. and then a $125,000 reward is now being offered for information leading to the arrest in the death of paula green. she died in 2001. last seen in front of a bar called gina's on 6th street and mission south of marcus. the family is urging anybody with information to come forward. >> translator: somebody had to see something that day. i beg you, don't be scared. reach out to the police. this could have happened to anyone. >> police say she was last seen

with a man in a red car, and he was described as a white man about six-feet tall with a muscular build and short pants. a big description there. all right. it's 5:35 this morning. it's time. here's a live look in kansas city at arrowhead stadium, and that's where the chiefs and lions kick off the nfl season in just hours from now. >> the lions may end up alongside the niners this season for the chase. our own jay gray is camped outside the stadium. are you ready to go? ready for the season, jay? >> reporter: laura and marcus, how can you not be ready? it's never too early to start the tailgate, right? even though we are kind of by ourselves right now.

but take a look, the sun is coming up over arrowhead stadium. it will be crazy when a few thousand of my closest friends join me a bit later this afternoon here. trust me, this city, they are ready for kickoff. chiefs' kingdom has been, well, beating the drum for the start of the season since the last time their team played, which worked out pretty good. now seven months later, the super bowl excitement continues. >> everywhere you go, everybody is talking chiefs. i came home to my husband and i said, the guy at home depot wanted to talk about the chiefs. >> the cheerleaders and flags turning the streets into pep rallies. the visiting lions are feeling the energy. >> we know we are in a big stadium with a lot of people so we are ready to go.

>> looking to bring their own momentum, and silence the championship celebration. >> i think our job, and what they should relish in, man, is to quiet the crowd, you know. to me, that's the ultimate, if you can quiet the crowd because you are making plays -- >> reporter: the nfl season kicking off in just hours at arrowhead stadium. yeah, and, look, i am no chiefs' fan, but i have to tell you, it's kind of hard not to get caught up, laura and marcus, in all of the hype. it's going to be a big day, and a big game. i am excited football is back and it should be a lot of fun. excitement should reach its peek just before the kickoff when they unveil the super bowl banner here. >> yeah, and let's see if they will do it again. >> yeah, and you are up so early, you will need a nap before the game.

>> reporter: yeah, well -- >> i don't know what is in that cup, jay, but -- >> orange juice. orange juice. >> thank you so much. coverage starts at 4:00 here with kickoff at 5:20. we will have a special postgame newscast at 9:00 p.m. time for a sneak peek at the weekend forecast for you. meteorologist, kari hall, has been working on the details. just a peek. >> yeah, we have been talking about football, but how about baseball? it's still baseball season. giants are in town tomorrow and it will be in the upper 60s and really nice weather as it stays mostly clear but breezy. yes, it will be cool out there if you are going to the game. make sure you are bundled up. we have the wine festival saturday and sunday, and nice conditions with the low 50s in

the morning, and sunshine in the afternoon. thinking of fall, and maybe getting pictures with the kids early this season, and the pumpkin patch will be open this weekend and we will see temperatures there in the low to mid-60s throughout the day. maybe wrapping up the weekend with the oakland pride parade. that will be happening on sunday and starts at 11:00 in the morning. it will be a cool start but shaping up to be a very comfortable day with highs in the low 70s as the festivities continue throughout the day. if you do plan to go to the beach this weekend, santa cruz looks like a great destination with mid to upper 70s for highs throughout the weekend. just seeing the clouds passing by with a little sun for the afternoon. mike, you have been watching the commute this morning and it seems smooth for now? >> yeah, highway 4 really showing a good amount of traffic, similar to the amount yesterday as far as the amount of slowing. we will track that and that could mean an issue for walnut

creek in the next 20 minutes. and we see blips through richmond in the typical spots. folks are just adjusting their commutes as school has started in the area. there's a report of a hit-and-run, and we will look at that. it just started to improve, and they must have cleared the roadway for whatever was going on. we will track that. coming up tonight, there's a concert over at the oakland arena, and that is at 8:00 p.m. there will be crowds that could blend with the evening commute, and keep that in mind. but a smooth drive throughout the nimitz, and as we look into the south bay, no major problems. northbound to 101 shows a little slowing in san josé. back to you. >> thank you. decriminalizing abortion. a sweeping decision south of the border, and then the new move to expand access for all women. hunter biden is running into more legal trouble, and really

strong words from mike pence to republicans. the new push for blood donations and a rising star using her platform to help others. a lot more news ahead on this a lot more news ahead on this thursday

kayaking is my thing. running is awesome. but her moderate to severe eczema would make her skin so uncomfortable. now i'm staying ahead of it. dupixent helps heal your skin from within. so, they can have clearer skin and less itch. serious allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems such as eye pain or vision changes including blurred vision, joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines without talking to your doctor. ask your doctor about dupixent.

the time is 5:44 on this thursday morning. let's head over to the east bay. we are looking at a mostly

cloudy morning, and we are headed from the low 60s to the upper 60s and sunny and clear by noon. another nice day on tap. we will talk about any changes in that weekend forecast, coming up. remember how the maps were showing a little more slowing than a typical thursday, or than we have seen for the last few months. the toll plaza showing a bigger build, and the metering lights turned on a little early. we will look at the drive in san francisco. the town of atherton is talking about doubling down on property owners to keep its street safe for pedestrians and drivers. last night the council discussed a new ordinance that states property owners are responsible for the maintenance of their trees, shrubs and pathways by the streets. they say it's already state law but they want to make it clear for the homeowners. this summer our investigative unit some of the parts of atherton can be for the pedestrians, and the pedestrian

death rate on camino real is three times higher than neighboring cities. during one public comment, one disagreed with the town's approach to make them liable. >> i find it a little difficult to say if that was not done right, if they did not do it right and all of a sudden that concrete breaks up, i am responsible for that. that doesn't seem right to me. >> the town council will meet again on september 20th. this morning a landmark moment for women's rights groups in mexico. the mexico supreme court struck down all federal abortion laws. in its ruling justices ruled any federal ban on the procedure is unconstitutional, and now health services are required to offer an abortion to whoever request it. while judges in some states must follow the court's decision,

more legal work will have to be done to remove all state penalties. and then mcscott mcgrew is with us. >> as you recall, hunter biden's deal fell apart. it's the same prosecutor now in the hunter biden case as it was then, but that prosecutor has been elevated by the justice department to special counsel and has indicated in court papers he will charge hunter biden with falsely filling out a form when buying a handgun, claiming he was free of illegal drug use when he very much was not. hunter biden has already acknowledged this happened as part of the now collapsed plea deal. biden's lawyer says because hunter biden has continued to follow all the rules set down in the plea deal, the deal still

stands. we expect an actual indictment later this fall. mike pence not known for being outspoken took a very big step in new hampshire on wednesday, warning his fellow republicans the very future of the party, and, indeed, the future of american democracy rests on republican voters and who they vote for. the fate of american freedom, he called it, is the future of republicanism, the party of conservatives, he asks? free trade, and power overseas and protecting the constitution, or is it is this. >> embracing a posture of appeasement in the face of rising threats to freedom. republican populists would blatantly erode our constitutional norms, and a leading candidate for the republican nomination last year

called for the, quote, termination of all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the constitution. closed quote. >> now, that speech is the one given by mitt romney in 2016 where romney warned republicans where donald trump was in his words, a con man, a fake, a phoney and fraud. romney a few months later would meet with trump as he sought an appointment of secretary of state, and it was over dinner, and romney said trump was the very man that could lead us into the future, and romney did not get the job. as for pence's speech yesterday, former president trump called pence's claims false, and he said, why now? why didn't you do that all these years before? laura? >> thank you. a bay area mega concert seems to be all the news these

days, but there is one with an added purpose. ♪ ♪ wise men say -- >> yeah, that singer song write write. this is a dual event, a concert and a drive, and this is to register candidates. >> my entire career, entirely thanks to a bunch of humans around the world. i just have been so grateful, because the most recent chapter with all of these people is the chance that i have to actually help make a difference with people that are looking for a bone marrow donor match. >> she's talking about her own mother. we will tell you more about the push to get more people of color to sign up to become donors. that's the story coming up for

you during our midday newscast at 11:00 this morning. >> that was good. you saw mike inouye there. >> yeah, the two are using their online community to get more outreach, because we need more community. >> yeah. we are starting out with clouds around much of the bay area. it will be a pleasant day head into the afternoon. we may see fog hanging on longer at the golden gate bridge, but now the visibility is clear. the clouds are higher up. morgan hill, we are starting out with temperatures in the 50s, and throughout the morning it will be in the upper 50s and then clearing, sunny and a light wind and making it into the low 80s for today. for much of the south bay and east bay, expect the temperatures to reach up to 88
