outside the west oakland station. a disabled train, and there's a disruption through the downtown oakland lines. that's pretty much all lines travel through that area. we've not heard about any exceptions. so plan on delays for the bart system. there's a potential for a delay also for samtrans riders. we talked about an issue with a number of operators calling in sick a few weeks ago. we were worried about that. that did not happen in august, but yesterday they had a number. so that caused some service disruptions as well. but the major delays for the bart lines coming through the area of west oakland, the roadways are moving smoothly. so that is an option if you can find someone to carpool with or get out new forms of transportation. typical slowing for highway 37 at the top of the screen. highway four the build coming out of contra costa county at the bay bridge toll plaza. it's friday, so we know we'll have a lighter build until a little bit later on. we'll watch for those metering lights in the backup. all right. we have a nice clear view there. take a look at our live camera in dublin. as the sun is rising. it is so nice to see at least the orange hues in the sky. and it's also going to be all sunny

throughout the day here. temperatures start out cool with some low 60s, but it will quickly warm up. will be in the low 80s at 11:00 and then going into the afternoon with some mid 90s. even though it will be a warm afternoon, it won't be as hot as it was yesterday. our temperatures coming down a couple of degrees, so depending on your microclimate, just expect it to be about the same or maybe just a little bit lower than yesterday's high temperature in concord instead of 101, it will be 98 and will be 89 in san jose. yesterday we were in the low 90s, so we're making some progress toward lower temperatures. we'll take a look ahead to our weekend forecast coming up in a few minutes. thank you very much, kari. well happening today, another hearing with a criminal trial set to begin for the man accused of murdering tech ceo bob lee in san francisco. prosecutors say he stabbed and killed the cash app founder in april of 2023. investigators have previously said he drove lee to a secluded area before the stabbing. the two were in a dispute over money, sister.

you more middle midwestern than having your family be on this stuff. on the campaign trail, u.s. senator jd vance working to distance former president trump from project 2025, a 900 page conservative policy playbook that democrats warn would expand presidential power and reduce certain public services if implemented. donald trump will set the trump 47 agenda. donald trump will set the january 20th, 2025 agenda. no one else will do it. don't believe the lies. the former president laying out parts of his economic vision, which include creating a commission to cut government waste, a plan backed by billionaire elon musk, elon, because he's not very busy, has agreed to head that task force. vice president harris spending time off the campaign trail to focus on debate prep. the vice president is going to come to

doctor peter chin-hong is among those raising concerns over anti-vaccine rhetoric during this election cycle. it's not just about covid, it's about all these infectious diseases that we had made so much progress on in the last two decades, and they're coming back. measles, polio, and we have new threats as well, you know, avian flu. mpox. so i think, you know, it's really important to keep our eyes on the prize. doctor chin-hong says covid cases are likely to increase due to the uptick in travel over the labor day weekend. but he says it's important to keep in mind many people in the bay area have already been recently infected. he stresses that if you see any symptoms, you should certainly test. all right. it's time to get a look at that forecast for us today. we have been dealing with those hot temperatures, but a cool down is heading our way. why are we going to see that. it's been nice to have at least something to look forward to

because it has been really hot. and for the valleys we're seeing that continue for today. the heat advisory continues. we're starting out clear with a live look outside in san jose. and as the sun comes up, we are going to see those temperatures heating up fairly quickly as we go throughout the morning and into the afternoon. so taking a look at what to expect, we are going to have some of the cooler weather coming in, all thanks to an area of low pressure that will be dipping down and coming into the bay area, and we're also going to see that high pressure that has caused that extreme heat to eventually move out of here. so as we go through the forecast, we will be highlighting that. we'll talk more about it coming up in a few minutes. mike, you've been looking at where we can find some lower gas prices around the bay. in fact, some folks might need to fill up because the bart delays we're talking about in just a second. we'll talk about those gas prices, though. will feature all week. the best price in the bay has been 3.89. it's been in the south bay today. we'll talk about cupertino auto repair on stevens creek

boulevard in cupertino for alameda county. this is our next price. the best in oakland is 409 at telagas on telegraph avenue, just north of highway 24, and in marin county in the north. bay mill valley is low, is 411. that's the bottom number. it's the arco on redwood highway. it's the opposite side of the freeway. if you know where the in and out is there other side of the freeway. as we get out to the roadways, we're going to talk about the tracks. it's actually the big delay right now is for the bart system. major delays as you travel through the oakland downtown oakland area, there's a disabled train outside the west oakland station. that's all we know. no further detail from bart, but we're imagining it ripples out through the system because that is a hub for those bart lines. potential for delays for sam trans because of a multiple operators calling out sick yesterday and likely this morning. as we look at the roadways, we're still okay for the emeryville drive into the maze and through the berkeley curve, and the rest of the bay is moving pretty smoothly as we look at those maps. back to you. thanks, mike. 610 right now. hikers in the north bay won't have to trespass to hit a

popular trail anymore. ahead on today in the bay we'll show you the new park with stunning views of the golden gate, which will now be legally accessible. we just got the latest jobs report. is it good news or bad news? yes, yes, it is. let's go out to the futures this morning. think wall street thinks of this confusing. yeah, they're just as confused. not moving much at al. and get ready for some good old fashioned american football, a carnaval style. yeah. we got to look at the first nfl game to be played in brazil. keep it right here. you're watching today in the bay

it's a nice clear morning. temperatures in the low 70s. but look at that temperature trend. we're back to the 90s today, but we're just hitting those temperatures briefly, going up and coming back down for a comfortable evening. and we're looking forward to some cooler air. we'll have more on that in our forecast coming up. and we continue with the major delays. bart riders look at the screen. we've got a major delays because of an issue. a disabled train outside the west oakland station. major delays through downtown oakland and likely rippling out through the rest of the system. if we look at the map, west oakland is a hub for all these trains as they travel through the area across the bay. no updates yet on any forecast for when they can clear those

lines. you may want to plan on a drive or doing a carpool this morning. well good morning. very happy friday to you. the ceo of the bay area's clorox says she thinks that customers are cutting back looking for deals. they're under more stress. she says clorox makes everything from bleach to hidden valley ranch dressing. paramount filed new financial papers after its takeover, showing tech tycoon larry ellison will be the largest shareholder of the movie studio. just into the newsroom, the august jobs report. 142,000 new jobs added to the economy last month. the unemployment rate ticks down to 4.2%. so that's good news for anybody looking for a job or for president biden. but there was a thought that if the number were lower, if it showed the economy suffering, it would inspire the fed to cut a half a percent at its upcoming interest rate meeting. but we didn't get that number. so the bet is a quarter

percent cut later this month, former president trump once again claimed all new jobs. all new jobs go to illegal immigrants. 100%, he said at the new york economic luncheon. every new job created in america, that's of course, not true. we'll talk more about trump's speech as we talk politics. around 645. the department of transportation, examining frequent flier programs at american, delta, southwest and united to make sure they're fair to consumers. d-o-t points out the airlines get to change the value of the points whenever they want, so the consumer might not be getting what they signed up for. and we've heard from telegram creator pavel durov for the first time since he was arrested in france. france accuses him of allowing telegram users to do nefarious things like the drug trade on the app. it's an unusual arrest because normally platforms like telegram are not held responsible for what one of their 1 billion users do. durov,

in a statement said, quote, building technology is hard enough as it is. no innovator will ever build new tools if they know they can be personally held responsible for potential abuse of those tools. and finally, they've closed the hatch on the starliner spaceship scheduled to come home empty around three this afternoon. the boeing capsule, which some privately called the calamity capsule, is on its first manned space mission, got astronauts to the space station. but going back empty because nasa doesn't trust it to get them home safely, they'll hitch a ride on spacex instead next year. as you know, boeing has had some issues lately. a company that got us to the moon, you know, back in the 60s, but just has severe issues. it'll be interesting to see with nobody aboard, whether the thing makes it back to earth or not. right. yeah something to watch for. yeah. thanks, scott. you bet. well, following last night's thrilling nfl opener. the league tonight goes to where it's never been before. talking about brazil. tonight will be

the first time an nfl game has been played in brazil or anywhere in south america, for that matter. it's happening in the capital of sao paulo. that's where the green bay packers will take on the philadelphia eagles. teams held practice yesterday on site at corinthians stadium. the game will air exclusively on peacock, with kickoff scheduled for 5.15. pregame coverage starts at 4:00. new at six. well, there's a new place to hike in the north bay last month, the nonprofit trust for public land or public land, they organized more than $42 million purchase of 110 acres over at the tiburon ridge. well, previously, hikers telling the chronicle that they actually had to sneak onto that once private property, which boasts views of golden gate bridge, east bay shipyards, as well as the san francisco skyline. some of them telling the paper that they were even chased away in the past. well, the purchase now expands the nature preserve to 232 acres. looks like beautiful views. all right. and finally,

maybe a little cooler for a hike. yes. it's going to be great. this weekend. although in some parts of the bay area because of our microclimates, it's still going to be warm. so we take a live look outside. one of those warmer spots in dublin as the sun rises this morning. bright orange and beautiful. hopefully that's not too distracting during your drive to work or school. and then, as we go throughout the day, it's going to be warming up. but in san francisco, we've had just enough of that to fog keep those temperatures cooler. and this is looking from our sutro tower camera toward the bay bridge, and it is a beautiful start to our friday morning. now san francisco not included in the heat advisory as well as the coastline in parts of the inner bay. but these orange shadings indicate where those temperatures will still be hot going into the afternoon. but the good thing is that we do have these cool mornings to start, and that's especially been true in parts of the north bay, as the lows have dropped down to the low 50s. but we're right now at 66, in orinda and

65 in san jose, so there are still some milder spots to start out the morning. and then as we go throughout the day, quickly rising temperatures as we head to 97 in livermore, 100 in fairfield and 92 in novato, san francisco in the upper 70s with low 70s in half moon bay going into the day tomorrow, we reduce that heat risk across the bay, and we're going to still see some mid 90s in the south county, but mostly some upper 80s for the tri-valley and some mid 80s for the north bay. the peninsula will be very comfortable with 70s and low 80s there into sunday. expect more of the same with temperatures coming down even a little bit more. so the changes at the high pressure is going to slide off to the south and it shifts. the wind direction also allows for a low to move through the pacific northwest, which will enhance the wind flow and also bring back our sea breeze, our natural air conditioning. so that will help moderate the temperatures, make it more seasonable for the inland valleys going from upper 90s to upper 80s next week and

san francisco will also see some cooling with more fog and maybe not as much sunshine this weekend with upper 60s there in the city. mike, you've got a couple of delays for the east bay commute. yeah, i want to start with this one. this is on the roads northbound 680. we're actually in the last few minutes seeing some recovery. i think it was a late pickup for folks traveling north past the construction at stoneridge. it is cleared on the grid again. they may have had to move some later vehicles over to the shoulder. better now heading north toward the dublin interchange, coming out of the altamont toward the dublin interchange. everything is just fine on the roadways. let me get you moving out to the maps and show you the rest of the bay. shows your friday commute with lighter volume of traffic. the big issue is over here in the east bay. the freeways are moving smoothly. you might need to take to your vehicle or carpool with someone because bart riders major delays. right now. disabled train outside the west oakland station continues with just that update from the bart system. they're talking about issues through downtown oakland, which we're typically ripples out through the rest of this system. and samtrans is a potential for disruptions due to

a number of operators calling out sick yesterday and likely today as well. be on the note back to you. thanks, mike. well, next here on today in the bay nbc bay area responds one viewer in the south bay, another in the east bay, both struggling with lackluster customer service. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. nbc bay area responds to both of them next. and this morning we're working to clear the shelters, introducing you to kari hall on the left, kris sanchez on the right. they always name animals after us. both of these cute kittens, described as a whirlwind of fun. they're available for adoption at the berkeley humane society. and if you and your family are ready or looking to adopt, come on out to berkeley humane barking meow around the block event. it is an adopt a thon and street fair they're holding tomorrow. marcus and i will be there. it's going to be a lot of fun. it takes place along ninth street in berkeley from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. we're actually going to do the morning show out there. we're going to be up

murdoch's youngest son. a lot of tech on that list supporting harris as well. the ceo of yelp and box, and the ceo of starbucks, laurene powell jobs. she's the biggest holder shareholder in both disney and apple. the ceo of pepsi, former ceo of ford, all signing their names to a letter that says harris will be better for the economy and democracy through what they call her fair and predictable policy. her opponent talked about the economy. two economists and bankers. yesterday in new york, mr. trump repeated some of his previous claims, like china pays america's tariffs, it doesn't. and that illegal immigrants take 100%. his word of all new jobs created every month. they don't trump confirmed he would create a committee to make government more efficient, said elon musk would lead it, and he called for america to create its own sovereign wealth fund, basically a government pool of money that can be invested the way the saudis invest in uber or professional golf, have a wealth

fund. other countries have wealth funds. we have nothing. we have nothing. we're going to have a sovereign wealth fund, or we can name it something different. i'll talk about it with mr. paulson, who's in the audience, and a lot of other friends of mine, and we'll name it something that's appropriate. perhaps sovereign wealth fund wouldn't be appropriate, but it's going to be the same thing. now, the reasons the saudis have an investment fund and we don't is the saudi government has gobs of extra money, and we do not. we're running a large deficit. trump says his tariffs, paid by americans will make up that difference. the candidates for vice president were on the campaign trail walls in pennsylvania. vance and arizona both spoke about the tragedy in georgia. i said this and all of you here, both as a as a teacher and as a student and as a dad, i loved back to school season, time of hope, excitement. now for those kids, it'll always be a time of sheer terror, and that will be a memory that they'll

hold forever. and it's a reminder to the rest of the country, we've got work to do, and i, for one, am sick and tired of hearing about thoughts and prayers rather than actually doing something about it. what is going to solve this problem? and i really do believe this is look, i don't like this. i don't like to admit this. i don't like that this is a fact of life. but if you're if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines, you realize that our schools are soft targets and we have got to bolster security at our schools so that a person who walks through the front door. we've got to bolster security so that if a psycho wants to walk through the front door and kill a bunch of children, they're not able to. finally, in a surprise move, hunter biden pleaded guilty to not paying his income tax for two years. the younger biden said he did not want to put his family through any more pain. this does open him up to potential prison time. the white

house yesterday confirmed his father, president biden, will not pardon or commute his sentence, going for two prison for not paying your taxes if you paid them back with interest, as hunter biden has done, is quite rare. at one point, biden had a plea deal with prosecutors in which he would face no jail time. but that deal fell apart as it was clear the two sides had different ideas about what that deal entailed. laura hunter biden will be sentenced in december. interesting to see how it's all played out. thank you very much, scott. it is 6.46 right now. new this morning, south bay celebrating a very big anniversary this weekend. the sap center hosting its 5,000th event today in the bay's kris sanchez out there for us this morning with a look back and a look ahead. good morning kris. oh, boy. i mean, i know that both of you have seen so many events here at the sap center. i know that i have events with my family, events with the little ones, events with my husband. and it really has been such a

big part of the south bay community. in fact, a big part of the community for 31 years. and tonight the sap center is hosting its 5,000th event. and let's take a look at some of the history here. the sap center first opened its doors back 31 years ago, and in that time they've hosted 50 million visitors through for all different kinds of events. the 20 there's $20 million in annual tax revenue and that's just from the sharks, not from any of the other events that happened here. now the sharks are negotiating their ten year contract. so we're hoping that this will be a continuation of the tradition. they are promising another. $101.25 billion in economic impact over just the next five years. and of course, hockey is not the only thing that happens here at the sap center. you might remember we were here last year for the us gymnastics. we saw simone biles suni lee competing before they headed off to the olympics. u.s. figure skating. they were here for

their championships ncaa basketball a few years ago, atp tennis tournaments. and there are lots of events that are coming up as well. we have jamie hammett here who is the vice president of events and booking and what a thing to be part of 31 years of history. yeah, i know, so it's a great job i love it. it's i can't kind of pinch myself every time i come to work because we have so many great events here and there are so many venues that, you know, all around the bay area. but it's remarkable that this one is the one that kind of stands out. you see it when you drive by, and you know that there are just so many different kinds of things that happen here. yeah, absolutely. you know, the rolling stones, u2, some of the bigger bands have always played here over our 31 year history. we take a lot of pride in the building. the city hired our management group to run it, and we constantly invest in it to make sure we're state of the art. one of my favorite things that happens here at the sap center, eighth grade commencements. you guys host those for san jose unified every year, too. absolutely. so we work with the arena authority to

do civic events like that. and so anytime we have that, we, you know, 365 days in a year. and if we believe the rolling stones can move in and out of the building in 24 hours, so can everybody else. you can move 20,000,008th graders through with their families. that's right. i think it's really super cool that the 5,000th event happens to be the same event. that was the very first event. no, it really is. we have a great partnership with feld entertainment and they do disney on ice and the circus, and they did jurassic world last summer. they did the marvel themed show. so yeah. so the 5,000th event is the ringling, ringling brothers, barnum and bailey greatest show on earth. this is the reimagined version of the circus. they're going to have six shows over the next three days, so come on out and celebrate and you'll see some of the commemorative 5000 graphics around. and just maybe take a trip down memory lane and think about all the things that you've done here in the south

bay as well. wow, that could be fun. yeah, yeah. big time. i remember when it opened in 93. it's fun going to the some of those first sharks games and stuff. so that's fun. good deal. thanks, chris. well turning for us this morning. you know what with the faithful getting all ready for monday night home opener over at levi's. we are here. right here today in the bay. we are also trying to get prepared. you know what it takes a lot to get. you know, that one two together, it takes a team. yeah. we got the help of some of our faithful friends. here we go. five, six seven, eight. 123. it looks like seven eight actually looks great. yeah i like it. i think i needed the hot pants in order to make it work. like, we love hayley and leah, two members of the niners gold rush cheerleader team stopping by our studio yesterday for our streaming newscast. we talked to them about their careers outside of cheering and the upcoming season. catch the

whole interview marcus washington did with them. it's up on our website, nbcbayarea.com. niners fans, don't forget nbc sports bay area will have pre and post game coverage of monday's niners game. the pregame show actually starts at 4 p.m. it's going to be a lot of fun. can't believe football season is here. yeah. ready to cheer them on? good maybe not from the field, but from the cheerleaders background came in handy. that's why you start every show before the cameras turn on. five, six. ready? okay always stole the show to me. the showstopper for a lot of us is this heat that we're doing. yes, but it's almost out. it's almost out of here. we're seeing the heat fading a bit. and as we're celebrating watching the game on monday, it's going to be very comfortable. but of course, we want to get to our weekend. so we're starting out with a live look outside in san jose. our valleys today still in the 90s and triple digits, and the breezy bay with 70s and 80s. temperatures drop more this weekend, and then there will be even more cooling early next

week. let's talk about our air quality, because that was an issue yesterday and the day before it was unhealthy. but we're seeing a lot more of the good air quality for today. that means you can spend more time outside. it will be moderate for the east bay and santa clara valley, and as we go throughout the afternoon, you may notice that as you look in the distance, it does look very hazy. so we're seeing our highs headed back to the upper 90s for concord. but yesterday it was 101. so we're making some progress here. and in san jose it will be in the upper 80s fremont 86. about the same in mountain view. and 77 in san mateo. 93 today in santa rosa. tomorrow we'll bring it down even more. some spots, the temperatures drop about ten degrees, so there will be a significant cooldown that continues into sunday as well. and next week we're seeing some of our warmer temperatures in the mid 80s, and san francisco is coming back to the 60s. there will be more clouds and fog. i do think that we won't see as much sunshine, but still pretty

nice and comfortable there. mike, you have an update on the bart delays? yeah, lighter friday on the roads and better news on the tracks. we're recovering now. a disabled train set things off with delays around the bart system outside of the west oakland station. apparently, they've taken care of that train. we're recovering now. still watch those overhead signs for delays. and we have confirmed with samtrans they have a number of operators out of work today as well, calling in sick. so there may be some disruptions. the ready wheels service and the ready coast are priorities. the roadways are showing typical friday light. back to you. thank you very much, mike. 653 right now and happening now, volunteers still needed to help clean up the tenderloin glide and civic center. joy corps plan to beautify the troubled san francisco neighborhood starts at 945 tomorrow morning at the glide memorial church on ellis. the cleanup is part of a monthly series of events by civic joy corps focused on different neighborhoods in the city. you can find out details on to how register at civic joy fund.com. we'll be right back with a l
