joining us on this saturday, september 7th. i'm kira klapper. the driver accused in a deadly wrong-way crash that claimed the lives of a bay area mother and her son, made his first court appearance. 39 year old duncan macquarie was charged with two counts of murder. yesterday he did not enter the courtroom but could be seen in the hallway in what appeared to be a wheelchair. investigators say about two weeks ago, the florida man caused this crash after he drove about nine miles the wrong way on highway 85 in san jose at speeds of up to 100mph. ultimately he slammed his rented pickup truck into a tesla carrying rebecca olson and her 14 year old son, charlie. the da says the florida man was driving under the influence and acting recklessly. we don't know the answer at this point as to why he got out of the car at one point and then got back into the car and continued driving at excessive speeds against

traffic. that's something that we will investigate and try to get an answer for. i don't know if we ever will know that answe. prosecutors say macquarie had close calls with other drivers before the deadly crash. he is due back in court in november. going to take a big turn now to cinthia pimentel with a quick look at our microclimate forecast. sounds like it will be a nice weekend. it should be. we are seeing some camera views right now that are drastically different than what we've had as we've gone through this heat wave this week, we have the fog returning to san francisco, actually socking in the camera there a little bit, and also some clouds making its way towards livermore and the tri valley. but mainly staying out towards the coastline. we see a bit chillier start to our saturday up there in novato and santa rosa in the low 50s, mid 50s for half moon bay. also, with those visibility changes that i want you to be aware of as you start your day. meantime a mild one down here in san jose at 64 degrees. so as we plan our

nice stroll around the block to mostly clear down here in san jose at 62 degrees. we'll do 60 in walnut creek and see our microclimates of course, in through san francisco. the fog has returned. it's cooling down those temperatures a bit. so as we go throughout the day and maybe towards the morning especially, just be careful with those visibility changes, especially by the coast 50s and 60s to start. and by the time we get into our lunchtime hour, it should be very mild out there towards the east bay, already climbing into those mid to upper 80s as well as down into the south county by the bayshore. we should see a little bit more of a breezy day as we have a system just to our north that is bringing minor changes. so i think we're doing better in the temperature department compared to the heat wave that we've been dealing with this week. as we go on and take a look at our daytime highs, yes, they are still very warm in those 90s for the east bay and down into the south county and those upper 90s, but for the bay shore will bring down those temperatures about ten degrees. so we'll talk about the further cooling changes coming up into next week at 7 a.m. kira back to you. all
