good friday morning, i'm ginger saab. >> i'm marcus washington. the team is here this morning. mike has a look at the commute coming up. if we get a sunrise like this, kari, it's a great day. >> great day either way. >> all right. it is friday. >> yeah, that's true. it may not be all clear, that's going to keep our temperatures down. the marine layer and the clouds we're seeing over san jose help us out to keep those temperatures from rising too quickly in the inland valleys. take a look at our planner for the afternoon, of course we're going to see that sunshine, but it may come for us around 9:00 to 10:00 this morning, we're sunny the rest of the day. as we go from low 60s to low 80s for an afternoon high. a really great day, and around the bay area, temperatures still pretty warm for some of the interior valleys like livermore headed for 88 degrees while we see low 80s in martinez, napa reaching 88 degrees, and san francisco in the upper 60s. talk about a slightly cooler

weekend ahead, and so far, mike, it seems like it's been friday light. >> it has, and this is what metering lights look like at this time on a friday, it's 6:01, folks, look, we just now start to see in the last few seconds the backup on our camera here at the toll plaza itself, a smooth drive on light drive off the 880 over crossing through the maize and off the berkeley curve. look at that, those sensors just changed to yellow, a little more slowing out of emeryville. the inclip is slowing but maybe a new crash over the ninth street exit. specific location on the span itself, again westbound bay bridge may be a crash in towards san francisco. typical light buildup for highway 37 and holding steady for highway 4 in the area. concord, look at the -- easing up. >> thanks, mike. developing this morning, governor gavin newsom is ready to announce $200 million to fight organized retail crime across california. sadly, oakland will not be receiving a penny of it.

>> that's because leaders missed a key deadline. snaim's bob redell is live for us this morning in newark. newark is one of those places that will be receiving the funds. talk to us about this, bob, across the state, this is a huge boost. >> reporter: that's the idea, good morning to you, marcus and ginger, yes, the state of california will be awarding $267 million to in the words of the governor's office combat organized retail crime. now, that money will go to the newark police department behind me and 54 other police sheriff and district attorney offices throughout the state. and this is so they can hire more officers, create task forces, and develop investigative units. for example, we know san francisco, another city here obviously in the bay area, is set to receive $17 million. one city that could definitely use that money, but won't be receiving a dime, as you mentioned, oakland, the city missed the deadline to submit an application to receive what we believe would have been millions

of dollars from the state. the city administrator's office released this statement explaining what happened. i'm quoting here. in early june the city's economic and work force development department, the ewdd, their staff identified the governor's real public safety plan grant opportunity and collaborated with opd and community partners to put together an application. opd and the community partners timely provided their material. unfortunately the economic and work force development department did not timely commit -- complete the submission. the city is reviewing what went wrong and is looking at hire ago person to specifically handle any applications in the future for state grants. carl chan, a community leader in oakland's china town who says businessings in the area do not feel safe due to the rising crime rate. he feels the money would have been put to good use, and hopes the state will reconsider the funding in spite of the fact they missed the deadline.

>> it's devastating to the people. the entire city will be benefitted if we have this money. >> reporter: later this morning at 10:00, governor new some with chp will hold a virtual news conference to announce this investment in their fight against organized retail crime. reporting live here in newark, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> we have more details for you this morning. i wanted you to take a look at this map. this shows how much state money other bay area cities are receiving, in all we're talking about 15 locations here, san jose's department they're going to receive $8.5 million. so, that money is because the city saw a large scale of shoplifting nearly double between 2021 and 2022. and, over in santa clara county it is getting $2 million. leaders there plan to use the money to set up a county-wide intelligence center, that way they can track retail theft trends. happening now, a historic strike brings motor city to a

stand still. the big three auto workers in detroit are protesting after walking off the job at midnight. this is the first ever simultaneous strike to hit america's longest standing auto companies. united auto workers are demanding a 40% pay hike, pensions, and the return of retireee health care, the "today" show's jesse kirch, is following the impact of the strike. fallout from this week's decision by sunol school leaders to ban the flying of the pride flag. the city's own school for children k through 8th, members voted tuesday to ban all specialty flags included the pride flag. now suno glen, is so overwhelmed, their removing all staff contact information from the flood of calls and emails they've gotten from around the nation. now, some parents, meanwhile, believe the board failed to listen to the majority of the

community. >> we're certainly standing up as a community to push back against this. this is not right. the majority of us feel this way, and we're going to demand to be heard. >> some families are even vowing to leave the district, one board member who supported the ban later cited supreme court rulings in making her decision fearing legal fallout for continuing to fly the flag. history will be made sunday when kristen welker takes over as moderator of "meet the press," the first person of color to moderate any sunday morning news show and the first woman moderator for "meet the press" since 1953. her first interview will be an exclusive sitdown with former president donald trump. >> i want to ask you about the case related to mar-a-lago, a new charge suggests you asked a staffer to delete security camera footage so it wouldn't get into the hands of investigators. >> that's false. >> did you testify to that under oath? >> i'll testify -- >> you'll testify to that under oath? >> it's a fake charge by this deranged lunatic prosecutor who

lost in the supreme court nine to nothing and he tried to destroy lots of lives. he's a lunatic. so it's a fake charge. but more importantly, the tapes weren't deleted. in other words, there was nothing done to them and they were my tapes. i could have fought them. i didn't even have to give them the tapes, i don't think, i think i would have won in court. when they asked for the tapes, i said, sure, they're my tapes. i could have fought them. i didn't even have to give them. just so you understand, though, we didn't delete anything, nothing was deleted. >> so that's false, the people who testified to this -- >> number one, the statement is false, much more importantly, when the tapes came, and everybody says this, they weren't deleted. we gave them 100%. >> president biden is receiving the same invitation for an interview on "meet the press," you can see more later on the "today" show at 7:00 a.m. and you can see kristen welker's history-making first sunday morning show at 8:00 # a.m. here on nbc bay area, that is following "today in the bay."

well, developing right now, the east coast, governor of maine declaring a state of emergency, this is ahead of the arrival of hurricane lee. now, it's expected to bring heavy rain, strong winds, and high surf to other states in the new england region as well. >> meteorologist kari hall is tracking the path of this storm, and kari, where, and when is this going to make landfall? >> it's going to take a couple of days, it seems like we've been tracking hurricane lee for a very long time now. almost two weeks this storm has been moving out in the atlantic and affecting areas mostly in the open water, but having a distant impact as we've seen some of the waves churning up along the atlantic coast. this shows the windfield that we'll see, and it looks like some of the stronger winds staying off the coast, but there are still tropical storm watches and warnings in effect for the maine area, the first one they've had along the maine coast in 15 years. it will have more of a direct impact over nova scotia next few

days. this is still a category 1 hurricane, expected to maintain that intensity as it increases in forward speed, but then becomes a tropical storm, and post tropical as it continues on its northward track over some cooler water, but it is starting to really have some of those big waves and rip currents affect as we go into the weekend, and into early next week. so we'll be watching that. here at home, we're going to see some nice weather across the bay area, temperatures about normal, or even slightly cooler than normal, what we typically see for this time of year, reaching up to 80 in martinez, and oakland today, look for a high of 72. mike said there was a crash affecting the bay bridge commute. >> but we're watching the live shot here and the incline is starting to move better, and also here, the san francisco side moving better, the crash was reported, not the knife, but near the harrison off ramp there, and i believe that they are getting to be able to clear in any second, they do have speeds improving, crews said it was blocking the slow lane and that might have changed over the last couple of seconds, a smooth

build toward the toll plaza. so that's a good backup for 610 on a friday, typically a lot lighter than monday through thursday. highway 4, highway 37, no major issues, san jose, that first slowing cleared, second one kicks in, at 6:40. back to you. >> thanks, mike. doordash is making changes, but not to its app. coming up, the change of address, now getting attention of investors on wall street. plus, people caught off guard by a sight in the skies above southern california. we have some answers this morning about what it is, and why people were kept in the dark ahead of

it has 6:13. we take a look at belmont in your forecast heading to work, it's starting out cloudy, temperatures in the low 60s, and as we go through the day it does stay in the 60s here. it's going to be cool, partly cloudy, and breezy. some of our inland areas will soon catch a break from the heat. so we'll take a look at all of our microclimates in the forecast, that's coming up. and the backup here has built at the bay bridge toll plaza. you can see most lanes are filled in to the end of the parking lot. now, the cause of this, they probably slowed the metering lights down. the crash at harrison looks like it should be clearing next few minutes. we'll show you the buildup coming up. well, wall street is set to

open mostly higher, following yesterday's rally, the dow jumped 331 points, or about 1%. s&p 500 and nasdaq rose nearly the same amount. investors are cheering the successful debut of chip maker arm holdings, which soared nearly 25%. and core producer price inflation was in line with expectations. and doordash, no longer delivering for the new york stock exchange, instead the company will be trading on the nasdaq. the san francisco-based company is transferring its listing starting september 27th. it will trade under the ticker symbol dash, when doordash first started trading on the big board back in 2020 it actually bucked the trend of most tech companies by foregoing the nasdaq. well, last month, another delivery company instacart made a similar move. new video of a rocket launch last night that caught people off guard in san diego. at first people weren't sure

where it came from, or who launched it. it was the latest satellite launch at vanberg space force base north of santa barbara but the base never announced the launch ahead of time saying it was part of an emergency launch drill. the trails could be seen as far away as las vegas, phoenix, arizona as well. look at that. i would have probably been like, is this e.t.? >> is this the big one? >> not time yet. but it is time for thousands of people to declare a big opa, in san francisco. that's because of the 72nd annual san francisco greek festival kicks off at noon today in the mission. opa is what you say when you are excited. and not only for some delicious dishes and the fact that they're returning, but attendees can say opa about traditional folk dancing and greek music. the best part to opa about,

admission is free. >> oh, opa! >> i think the food we were showing also some of that -- >> it made me hungry. i'm like -- >> looks delicious. >> have them bring a sample in. >> work with them ahead of time next year. >> producers, get on that. well, opa about this forecast. >> yeah, it looks like great weather this weekend. there is a lot to do to enjoy the cooler temperatures that we're going to see as we take a live look outside in san francisco, now, this is how we're going to start and end most of our days here in the city, with clouds and cool temperatures, but during the middle of the day, we're going to see those temperatures headed for the upper 60s with a mix of sun and clouds. also, we'll be breezy. make sure you have a jacket for those cooler mornings and evenings, we head to the south bay, we're going to see a high again up to 85 in cupertino, these temperatures very much like we've seen throughout much of the week, still warm for the inland east bay with antioch reaching up to 89 degrees, and

87 in pleasanton, and fremont, 72 in oakland. we're also going to have the warmer weather for palo alto, redwood city in the upper 70s, while daly city will reach up to 63 degrees in san francisco, back to the upper 60s, and for the north bay, mill valley reaching 80 degrees while napa hits a high of 80 for today. we're seeing milder weather, looking ahead to see how things could change over the next several months. and what's happening with our ocean surface temperatures and what's average, we've been talking about el nino, and basically warmer than normal sea surface temperatures near the equator, with an el nino advisory that's at 95% of this happening for our fall and winter months, with it peaking between december and february, it looks like this could affect the rainfall patterns as we see a shift in the trade winds, and that also affects how we see the storm systems developing, and move over the california coast,

and into the rest of the country, and sometimes it really just depends on where the jet stream sets up that could signal more rainfall, or if it shifts farther to the south we could see some dryer conditions, that's something we're going to be watching over the next several months. as we transition to el ino, things are nice and calm. temperatures are reaching into the upper 80s and it's warm now but we are headed for cooler temperatures, only reaching to the upper 70s for the start of next week with some breezy winds, and in san francisco, we're not going to see much of a change here, we're continuing with highs in the 60s throughout the weekend. mike, what's happening at the bay bridge now? >> we have the backup, and it has built a bit over the last few, but notice we do see movement for these lanes, i think they're going to start speeding up the metering lights and i'll explain why, and also what else we can see. these are the h.o.v. lanes and they're moving smoothly. that means it's only the main track with lanes that are having an issue, as far as the backup goes and, again, it's partially

controlled by those metering lights, mostly controlled by metering lights. san francisco's site of the crashes, not causing any slowing past harrison. the initial crash caused a backup. as things recover on the span and they see the light traffic coming into the area, probably seed up those metering lights if they haven't already sped them up and that should release the pressure over at the toll plaza. we have a build over here, the richmond side towards westbound 580, no major issues coming off the east shore freeway from the north bay. highway 37 a little more traffic coming down out of vallejo, and more slowing on westbound highway 4. things are delayed and lighter because it is friday. no big problems out of the pass over here, see little blips now south 680, typical pattern, lighter build, hayward, no problem, coming down toward the san mateo bridge, the south bay, all move well. back to you.

>> thanks, mike. next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. she's complaining about a medical bill mistake, he's complaining about a home delivery switcheroo, they both want our help, nbc bay area responds, next. plus, today marks the start of hispanic heritage month, new insight on the impact from hispanos in the world of business, breaking down the top cities for entreprename, when i

teams. uc berkeley's is considering changing the name and logo to cal berkeley. they created a task force to see if it should change. many people don't realize uc berkeley and cal are the same. and changing the name would cut down on confusion. it's unclear if the university will make the change. >> i didn't know they were the same. i thought the same thing when i moved here. >> the more you know. our consumer team is busy fielding all kinds of complaints for people fighting to get the money or services they're entitled to. >> we take pride in resolving those cases. consumer investigator chris chmura joins us with a few of our recent wins. >> good friday morning. we're delivering results for viewers in english and in

spanish. let's start with a case from teleimmune doe 48 responding, maria got a dental crown, but also got an extra bill for $450. she filed a claim but not nowhere. after months of arlen's intervention, maria had something to smile about, the clinic cancelled that $450 charge. next, there's mike in san jose. he pre-paid $215 for a full year of newspaper delivery. but mid-year the paper said it would deliver five fewer papers than originally promised. mike didn't think that was fair. so he asked the nbc bay area responds team for help. we contacted the publisher. it then said mike will get the number of papers he originally paid for. if you're stuck in a customer service stand still share your story with us, snap the qr code on your screen right now to fill out our consumer complaint form

online. have a great weekend. >> wonderful, good stuff. hispanic heritage month kicks off today and we are celebrating all month long. according to wallet hub one in four new businesses are hispanic owned. >> the website is out with a list of best cities for hispanic entrepreneurs, one state, florida, takes all the top spots, orlando grabbing the number one spot, miami coming in number two, now, the first bay area city to make the list is santa rosa, coming in at number 63. 200 cities all together were in the ranking. the report looked at criteria including capital, business incubators, and language support. florida scored the top for its large hispanic -- the bay really could do more to support entrepreneurs. >> language support is also huge here, so making sure that a city provides language assistance

services, translation, interpretation, to really help hispanic entrepreneurs overcome language barriers they might be seeing. then, if a city does not yet have business incubators and accelerators that are really hispanic driven. >> for the three largest bay area cities oakland ranks 124, san jose ranked 134, and san francisco 142. >> all right, well, don't go anywhere because our hispanic heritage continues, just ahead, starting with celebrations right here in the bay area. yeah, you're talking about the business side. i want to talk about the party side. i'm in san jose where you can see that city hall -- oh, they just turned off the lights. they were lit up in the colors of the mexican flag. i'll tell you what's happening here and around the bay area to

at cretors, we handcraft every batch of our delicious popcorn. like our cretors cheese and caramel mix. great on their own, even better together. try cretors, handcrafted small-batch popcorn.

right now at 6:30, the start of a historic auto workers strike, we take you to detroit, and break down potential impact on the entire economy. quieting the response to alarms, one city in the bay area now considering making it a low priority, the growing controversy as leaders there struggle with major staffing shortages. and celebrating our mexican community, we're live with how the bay area is celebrating el

grito. this is "today in the bay." ♪♪ good friday morning, i'm ginger saab in for laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington, breaking news this morning for you, san jose police investigating a stabbing in downtown san jose, want to show you the scene, near south fourth and san carlo street, new video coming into our newsroom of that investigation. police say on twitter that the stabbing happened before 4:00 a.m., and they warn people to stay away from that area. of course, we will continue to follow this breaking news, and bring you those updates as they come in. we're also going to post that on nbcbayarea.com. well, on to another big story we're watching out for this morning, big three auto workers are picketing after walking off the job at midnight. this is a historic strike, and it comes as the deadline passed

to reach new contracts. the white house says president biden will address the conflict later today. >> "today in the bay's" jesse kirsch has been more on this, one of those plants where the striking workers are making their voices heard. >> reporter: ginger and marcus good to be with you, we are in the middle of something the uaw says is unprecedented. workers walking out at ford, general motors, and ste lan tis, all three auto workers have made offers, i spoke with the uaw president overnight and he tells me ethinks the two sides are not really close. we will be watching what unfolds in the hours and days ahead, because the uaw has vowed to make this a moving, shifting strike, where different sites could continuously be added to its list. we know of three assembly

plants, being assigned, essentially, to this strike. so workers at just one plant, one facility, for each of those companies are currently striking, it's around 13,000 total workers. yesterday, with hours until that deadline to make a deal, i spoke one on one with the ford ceo. he called a potential strike chaos, here's part of what he shared about how this could play out. >> 120 years we've been through wars, pandemics, chip crisis, i mean, ford is very agile company. our competitors didn't make it through the last financial crisis. we did. we have the financial wherewithal and the cash to make it through this. but we don't need to do that. >> reporter: but obviously it's going to take more time to reach a deal as workers are now striking against ford as well as the other two members of the big three as they're called, the auto makers here in detroit, we are going to hear from workers, and much more of what's coming for you at home, if you're

looking to buy a new car, that and much more coming up on "today," ginger and marcus back to you. >> thanks for that, jesse. a new proposal in vallejo is raising serious alarm among safety advocates, police plan to stop responding to most alarm calls. at a town hall last night department leaders laid out the situation. on any given shift the average amount of officers is only about half of what it should be. the department says most every alarm call ends up being a false alarm with a tiny fraction leading to arrests, under a new proposal police would respond only to verified alarms that include eyewitness reports, or some kind of surveillance. >> any alarm call for service received with no confirmation of an attempted or actual crime in progress will be considered unverified. >> well, some fear vallejo may be more vulnerable to crime as a result, but the chief says this will free up officers to respond more quickly to violent crime,

and it may be years before the department is fully staffed, again. council members are expected to vote on an ordinance before the end of the year. well, the party is over and all that's left is the big question, where will dreamforce play out next year? >> fantastic. how we doing, dreamforce? >> the three-day conference wrapping up last night in san francisco, and this, a highlight reel, posted by salesforce ceo mark benioff, 40,000 people attended, including hollywood stars such as matthew mchon hay, speck lee and viola davis. governor gavin newsom taking stage there with a sit downwith benioff where they address san francisco's crime, drugs and homelessness. while benioff says the city passed his test and the event went well, it's still unclear if dreamforce will be back in san francisco next year.

let the party begin. today is the day mexico celebrates its independence, and that means the bay area will also be celebrating. >> yeah, the day also kicks off one month of celebrating hispanic heritage, "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live for us in san jose where some of those festivities will kick off today. kris, how's it going out there? >> reporter: you know, i'm a little bummed because you missed the lights here at san jose city hall, the tower and the dome were lit up in the colors of the mexican flag, green, white and red. and this is where they're going to raise the mexican flag to honor mexican independence, and then after that, the fiesta is going to begin. ♪♪ >> reporter: so santa clara street in front of san jose city hall is going to be turned into a full party, live music and entertainment, cultural performers, low riders, and of

course lots of food. this is free and open to the public from 4:00 this evening to 11:00 tonight. there are some parking restrictions so just make sure your night doesn't end with a tow. pay attention to those parking signs. san francisco is also hosting a celebration of el grito along with a mexican consulate, that event starts at 6:00 tonight at city center plaza and is meant to feel like the big ceremony that happens in mexico city with the president at the national palace where the national palace bells are rung 16th of september kicks off mexico's quest for independence in 1810 when the priest miguel called on the town to rise up against the spanish crown, and then, you know what happened next, here are the mexican independence celebrations happening around the bay as i mentioned the fiestas patrias in san jose, and

el grito in san francisco. and redwood city hosting on sunday, in case that's your day off. there are many other celebrations, to include the lot tender american cultures around the bay area, but today the day belongs to mexico. >> viva mexico. >> i love your blouse, that's great. >> that is. >> look at that. so in the spirit. >> thank you very much. appreciate it. >> viva kris. >> yeah, i figured i'd get in the spirit, love the traditional clothing, it's, you know, it's beautiful, and it's colorful, and it's comfortable. >> we love what you do with your daughters to preserve the heritage for your family. >> love that. >> thank you, guys. >> one of the things we really love about the bay area, you know, there's so many different -- it's so diverse, so

many different communities and we have so much to look forward to when these events come around. like this weekend, and i know kari you've been talking about it all morning, there's a lot to look out for. >> so many celebrations this weekend. we're starting it out with a celebration of el grito this weekend, and in san jose today, reaching the low 80s, and it's going to be so nice, all across the bay area, really comfortable temperatures if you're going to the civic center plaza in san francisco, just bring a jacket. it's going to be in the upper 60s and breezy, for redwood city, we have the fiestas patrias on sunday and that's where temperatures will reach into the low 70s on sunday. and then we also have the los gatos art and whine festival saturday and sunday, highs up to 81 for tomorrow afternoon and then reaching 60 degrees for those morning temperatures, we're back up to the upper 70s on sunday, and then back down to the upper 50s.

if you're enjoying some time near the coastline this weekend, in santa cruz, expect it to be mostly cloudy, temperatures in the upper 60s, we will get some times of sunshine as we go into the afternoon, and then going for a hike, enjoying some fresh air, and some cooler temperatures, we'll see that along the coastline here we're going to reach into the low to mid-60s for highs, going to tahoe, for the holiday weekend, or -- maybe past the holiday weekend for you, but just enjoying some time there, it's going to be in the low 70s over the next few days. reaching up to 72 tomorrow, and 73 on sunday. and we're also looking at novato's temperatures this morning, getting you out the door, we're starting out in the low 60s. so we'll talk more about this weekend's forecast in a few minutes. mike, how's that toll plaza looking? >> it's looking fuller, actually, kari, we didn't have enough time for it to recover from the earlier backup. now we're blending in with the build typical about this time on

friday. after 6:30 things get crowded on the friday on the toll plaza. we had the backup for the earlier disabled span. there's building out of richmond and vallejo. highway 4 slower drive in to concord and 242 showing a dip with sensors, disabled vehicle reported near the wall net creek interchange. i'll follow that and let you know if there's a problem. so far at speed over there. coliseum, there will be a game, 6:40 tonight. so there may be some more slowing as crowds get there on a friday after many people get out of work and head through the same area. into the city, slowing down on westbound 80 off the bay bridge and in that area, we still have the closure for dreamforce, remember, even though the convention is over, folks are leaving town now, but there's still all that world that they've built, and so they have to clear the roadways before it's completely reopened for howard, we do have the reimagined b.a.r.t. schedule, so twin peaks closes early.

pardon yourself? i had a couple of attorneys that said you can do it if you want. i had some people that said it would look bad if you do because i think it would look terrible. i said here's the story. these people are thugs, horrible people, fascists, marxists, sick people. they've been after me from the day i came down the escalator with melania and i did a great job as president. great economy, great jobs, great this, great that, rebuilt the military, space force, everything. i could go on forever. let me just tell you, i said the last thing i'd ever do is give myself a pardon. i could have given myself a pardon. don't ask me about what i would do. the last day i could have had a pardon done that would have saved me all of these lawyers, and all of this -- these fake charges, these biden indictments, they're all biden indictments, political. they indicted -- they want to arrest their political opponents, only third world countries do that, banana republics, so, ready? i never said this to anybody.

i was given the option. i could have done a pardon of myself. you know what i said? i have no interest in even thinking about it. i never even wanted to think about it. and i could have done it. and all of these questions you're asking me about the fake charges you wouldn't be asking me because it's a very powerful -- it's a very powerful thing for a president. i was told by some people that these are sick lunatics that i'm dealing with, give yourself a pardon, your life will be a lot easier, i said i would never give myself a pardon. >> even if you were reelected in this moment? >> i think it's very unlikely, you mean because i challenged an election they want to put me in jail? >> all that and more coming up on "today." and president biden was also invited to sit down on "meet the press," later on today, what trump is saying about hunter biden's indictment. don't forget, you can watch that whole interview on "meet the press," it airs sunday morning at 8:00 a.m. right here on nbc bay area following "today in the

of that kind of stuff. live look at the golden gate bridge, we get this friday started with low clouds, and this is going to happening out here for a while. but this is also helping us across the bay area keep those temperatures down. let's head over to concord and see how the day shifts up for you, we're starting out partly cloudy, temperatures in the mid-60s, at 11:00 it's 70 degrees, at 1:00 it's 78 degrees, you can see how it does warm up for the afternoon, and then temperatures just stop in the low 80s. so, it's still going to be really nice and comfortable, and matching some of the weather that we had over the past several days. we're -- we are looking at some highs in the mid-80s for much of the south bay, east san jose, headed for 86 degrees, and for hayward, expect a high of 76 degrees. and we'll reach up to 85 in walnut creek, in livermore, reaching 88 for an afternoon high. we're feeling some comfortable weather once again for the peninsula, san mateo, reaching 74 degrees, and much of san francisco, in the 60s again

today, maybe a while before we see the sky clearing but there will be some sunshine for today, and a lot more sun for the north bay, napa reaching 80 degrees, we'll see high temperatures in santa rosa, reaching 84 degrees. we've been keeping an eye on overall weather patterns and what we can expect going into the next several months. so we're talking a lot about el nino, and what's happening here, yesterday there was a new update saying that we are seeing some more warming near the peru and ecuador coasts, this is a look at sea surface temperatures and you get el nino when you have warmer than normal sea fast surface temperatures. it affects the weather pattern overhead. with the latest el nino advisory there's a 95% chance for it peaking and it being a stronger than normal el nino between december and february. so what we typically see with the trade winds along the equator, and the warmer waters starting to move towards the eastern pacific, we start to see storm systems developing, and

just really depending where the jet stream sets up, that carries those storm systems in, we could see fairly wetter patterns for the bay area and also cooler temperatures. so we're looking ahead to see how things will shape up for us and we'll keep you updated. as of right now, as we transition to el nino, we're seeing some nice, quiet weather, and our temperatures still warm today for the inland areas, and the upper 80s, we'll be in the upper 70s for monday, so you can see how much it cools down, going through the weekend, into the start of next week. but we will see much of a change in san francisco here, every day, with clouds and fog and then shaping up for afternoon sunshine. mike, slowing down on the south bay? >> a slow day means a light day. we have here 101 by the camera, north of 680, 280, over here where we typically see the more focused slowing. there is slowing at capitol expressway, and north on 87, and
