member. the games against the giants was 50,000 people. i wanted to remember the 20 game

win streak. i want to remember certain individual plays that i had, whether they were diving catches in the outfield or game winning home run, walk, couple walk off hits, just like that place was special for me. i'm like happy, but i'm really sad at the same time. and it's just heartbreaking because that they're leaving because, i mean, you can go to sacramento, you can go to vegas, but it's not oakland. i think it would be a lot of demonstrations because people in oakland are very frustrated with this management and what they feel like. they just straight up lied to them. now at 5:00, an emotional goodbye. this morning, fans are getting ready to face the end of an era as the oakland a's prepare to play their final game in oakland. here's a live look at the coliseum. today's game expected to draw an influx of fans hoping to bid the team farewell. we're breaking down everything you need to know if you're planning on attending. plus, florida hunkers down as hurricane helena approaches. the storm is expected to make landfall as a category three. a live report on the final

preparations now underway, and meteorologist kari hall is tracking its path. this is today in the bay. and good morning. i'm ginger conejero saab. marcus is off this morning, and i'm laura garcia. we'll check in with mike for a look at that morning commute. what about the forecast? good morning kari. good morning. yesterday was so nice. it did get really windy in the afternoon into the evening. but we are going to start to see those temperatures trending up a little bit more. right now we're nice and cool. it's 57 in dublin, palo alto and in san francisco and in san jose, 62 degrees. as we take a look at these highs for this afternoon, we are going to be up to 85 in novato and santa rosa and 78 degrees in hayward. we're looking at low 70s in san francisco and upper seconds for concord in san jose. look for a high of 80 degrees and some upper 80s, even a few low 90s

for some of our inland valleys. we'll be tracking even more of a warm up going into tomorrow, so i'll have a look at those numbers in a few minutes. mike, you're already concerned about the slowing in san francisco. yeah, folks, look, if you're going to take the bay bridge into the city, i'm concerned the flow looks great right now. low clouds. not the problem. the issue is low capacity. here. only one lane open. in the last five minutes. we have seen speed sensors start to improve. so i'm hoping that means that they open the lanes after the overnight repair work. but just like tuesday, we had early slowing coming into san francisco on that central freeway stretch. i'll continue to follow that and i'll update. i'll continue to update and refresh caltrans talking about whether or not there on scene the rest of the east bay getting over toward the maze is just fine. through contra costa and alameda counties, the north bay no delays, and anywhere south of here, the only slowing we have showing up on the sensors is out of the altamont pass. typical for 580. back to you. thank you very much, mike. well, it's the bottom of the ninth for the a's and their six decade run. in a

matter of hours, it will all be over. the a's will play the final game of their final homestand ever at the oakland coliseum. and today marks an end not only for a stadium, but those whose lives were always intertwined there today in the bay's kris sanchez is here with a look ahead not only at the future of baseball in oakland, kris, but also for the people who worked at the ballpark for years. i mean, there's that element as well, right? people's livelihoods. it's been a very long and emotional goodbye for fans who really, up until the end, held out hope that this day would not come if what happened last night at the coliseum is any indication, it is going to be emotional. after the game, a groundskeeper was scooping up dirt from the field into bags and water bottles for fans to keep and take home. that's a contrast to what we saw in other video fans ripping out coliseum seats. we'll mention they didn't get to take those home. oakland police tell us they are going to have more than 100 officers at tonight's game, because they

know that things are going to be at a fever pitch. now, if the fans have been running through a whole spectrum of emotions, from nostalgia to sadness and frustration, workers have that added layer of financial insecurity. while the stadium contractor aramark told us that they are bargaining in good faith with the workers union and they're trying to offer people other roles within their organization. some of the workers say aramark is refusing to pay their severance and their health insurance. we do have married couples that are working, have been working here for a while, and they're not going to get anything, and the only thing that they're going to get is the last check of this season. meanwhile, the oakland ballers are reminding a's fans that there is still baseball in oakland, a team for the fans built by the fans like them. so fans are going to maybe go see the a's in las vegas. some of them say that they will go to sacramento to see when they play

in the interim, but they say it's not going to be the same. no. the demolition of the tropicana, by the way, is coming up in about a week and a half. wow. yeah. so really just it's the end of an era. it really is for the bay area for in recent years. it feels like fans can commit to make the trip to sacramento, the trip to las vegas. but it will be kind of a test as time goes well. and to keep that up as well. i mean, it's expensive. it's not like we can go to vegas. i mean, i don't know how many people come from brooklyn to see the giants in san francisco, right? weren't they the brooklyn? yeah. giants. bombers. brooklyn. dodgers. dodgers brooklyn dodgers. that's right. baseball. well. thanks, chris. you've started our coverage. our coverage also continues. the a's final game at the coliseum continues all morning long ahead at our 530 part of the hour. bob redell will join us live from outside the ballpark with a look back at some of the most memorable moments that fans shared at the iconic stadium. firefighters are looking into how a massive fire

started at a south bay business. take a look at this large fire sparked about 1030 last night at a napa auto parts store in morgan hill on monterey road, near east main avenue. several other fire agencies. gilroy, san jose. headed to morgan hill to help put out that massive fire. no word on any injuries or how it started. tonight caltrans is set to close lanes on the bay bridge. here's a live look now at the bridge. caltrans is planning to shut down the far right lanes of westbound i-80 from yerba buena island tunnel to the end of the bridge. now this is happening so workers can do routine maintenance and inspection on the bridge cables. that shutdown starts tonight at eight, and it will last until 4:00 tomorrow morning. caltrans workers will shut down the bridge around that time every weeknight until the end of may. now, drivers will still be allowed on the bridge. they'll just be restricted to 40mph. developing now in florida, people are bracing for the impact of hurricane helene. it

is now a category two storm as it gains strength and rushes towards the florida coast at this hour. the panhandle, a potential target for landfall later today. today in the bay's jay gray joins us live from tallahassee. and jay, talk to us about the conditions right now. yeah. laura, ginger, we've had on again, off again rain all night into the early morning. but nothing like we're going to see in the next few hours here. look, this storm really getting into the deep, warm gulf waters, which is like rocket fuel for the system. the national hurricane center saying that this is going to be a monster with winds over 100 miles an hour and with the storm surge they describe as a catastrophic and potentially deadly landfall. now, just hours away. boards to try and deflect the winds and rain. backs to try and hold out

the storm surge. others filled with supplies. florida preparing for an assault from helene. most of the models have this becoming a major hurricane. some even have it becoming a category four. the storm churning in the warm waters of the gulf, accelerating, intensifying and growing. the hazards are going to be far reaching from this area, with tropical storm force winds 250 to 300 miles out, 3500 national guard troops have been deployed to the region. power crews from across the country. tropical cyclone soon to be and emergency response teams staged ready to move in as soon as possible. we could expect anything from swift water and flooded area rescues to structural collapse along the coastline. the worry is not only winds well over 100 miles an hour, but a wall of water that could come with that. i'm stressed, i'm stressed. i mean, they're calling for a possible ten foot surge here. i've dealt

with seven. that's three feet higher. yeah, i am very concerned. concern that stretches inland as well. this will be the largest and most catastrophic storm that we have ever seen in recorded history of our community. tallahassee, in the direct path of the storm. you know, let's talk a little more about the intensity, the magnitude of this storm. forecasters saying it could still be at hurricane strength. well inland even as it crosses into georgia. the wind scope of this thing, 4 to 500 miles. fema saying they're preparing for a multi-state event that helene could affect as many as nine states. ginger. laura wow. wow. those numbers are really quite concerning. are those very much so. yeah, the size of it. all right. thank you very much, jay. and stay safe. so let's now head over to meteorologist kari hall.

i mean, we're talking about a wide path here. yeah, we do have to remember that with hurricanes, it's not just one narrow little area that gets the big impact. it's a large area, a large region that's going to be affected by this hurricane. we're already seeing some of those outer rain bands, those feeder bands coming into florida, and they also could produce some severe weather even before the main storm hits. and it was just upgraded to a category two hurricane. now, those wind speeds and some of those gusts are at 100mph. and it's now moving at 12mph. we talked about the water temperature in the gulf that in some spots is 88 degrees, which is very warm. that's going to allow this hurricane to rapidly intensify as it moves closer to tallahassee, which may be in the direct path of the eye of the hurricane, as we know, that's where you see the biggest impact. and some of the strongest winds, but pretty much the entire state of florida is going to see some of those, at least tropical storm force

winds. and then it continues farther to the north into georgia. and that's also possibly a still a category one hurricane, as it moves through. and then just move slowly over parts of tennessee over the next couple of days while dumping some rain. so we are talking about a major storm surge here and a flooding threat all across the southeast as it makes landfall later on tonight into early tomorrow morning, we'll be tracking that. we'll talk about what the bay area will see as we go into the weekend with a warm-up in our forecast. that's coming up in a few minutes. thanks a lot, kari. it is 511 right now. tesla gearing up for a robotaxi unveiling. coming up next on today in the bay. the special invitations. the company is reportedly sending out. and when the big reveal is slated for. plus, a big milestone for snl. a sneak peek at this saturday's star studded premiere. we've got much more news ahead. you're watching today in the bay

the upper 50s and it's going to be at times a little breezy and partly to mostly cloudy through at least 9:00. after that, we're clearing out and warming up, and you'll notice that today may be a little warmer than it was yesterday. so we'll talk about all of our microclimates and what's ahead going into the weekend. coming up. and going into the city this live look at the bay bridge still looks just

fine. we can catch the glimpse of the traffic flowing smoothly into san francisco, off of the bay bridge, just after we catch a view here. there is slowing on those sensors because of the work at the central freeway. the repair work for the retaining rail. there may be some more slowing in your future. i hope that's actually better changes though. meanwhile, let's get a look at the futures with silvan. thank you mike. good morning. let's start with wall street which is set to open higher following a rally overnight in asia. and today in europe. china leading the gains today with the shanghai up more than 3% after state media confirms president president xi jinping is backing the government's latest efforts to boost the struggling economy. chip and tech stocks getting a big boost from positive earnings from memory chip maker micron. now, stocks were mostly lower yesterday, with the dow and the s&p 500 backing off record highs. but the dow, the nasdaq and the s&p they're still on track for their 1st september gains in five years. now in

focus today we get data on jobless claims, durable goods pending home sales and gdp. openai is considering a major overhaul that would change the maker of chatgpt into a for profit business. the company would keep its non profit segment as a separate entity. sources say the new structure would be more straightforward for investors and make it easier for employees to realize financial gains. ceo sam altman would receive equity in the company for the first time. now. the news comes after openai's chief technology officer meera marathi, said she's leaving the company. she was named interim ceo last year after openai's board briefly ousted allman, and tesla is sending out invitations for its robo taxi event on october 10th with the tagline we robot now! the event was originally scheduled for august, but it was pushed back and not much is known about the robo taxi other than speculation. it won't have a steering wheel or

pedals, and it will be like the cybertruck in terms of design. laura and ginger, my son, will love it. yeah interesting. i know that's what i said to him. no steering wheel, no pedals. wow. yeah. we. robot. i guess i'm scared. yeah, a little bit. tell us if you've got a plus one. thanks savannah. well, trending this morning. this weekend marks a milestone in tv history. the 50th season of saturday night live officially kicking off and fresh off her sixth emmy win. host jean smart is getting ready to celebrate. that is, if she can get a word in edgewise. 50 years memories from new york. it's saturday night. and now it is my turn. this is how you answer it. doing my neighborhood. who is it? you're not actually going to show a clip from every season. get me a drink and make it a double. you cut me off, and

that's kind of rude. stop it. stop it! knock it off already. all right. jeez and yes, the 50th anniversary celebration starts this saturday. no matter what the iconic actress may have to say about it, smart makes her debut appearance as host alongside musical artist jelly roll. you can catch all the action when it airs live at 830 saturday night, and you can also catch the replay following nbc bay area news at 11. i can't wait, especially with this political year. they're going to have so much fun. they may have something to say about things. maybe. maybe there's a little bit going on. all right. a little bit going on in the weather department. yes. can we have a repeat of tomorrow? it was i mean, yesterday. yeah. tomorrow is friday. let's just move ahead. yeah. we don't want to repeat tomorrow because it's going to be hot. so we're trending towards some hotter temperatures in the inland valleys. and a lot of changes underway. let's get a live look

outside in san francisco where you can see the low clouds, the mist and the drizzle to start out the day. cool temperatures there, but it will be for the valleys a few degrees warmer, headed for the 90s in the inland areas and maybe even close to 100 degrees. a hot temperatures continue into the weekend. at least we do have a cool morning start where we are right now at 56, in san francisco. also seeing 56 pretty widespread in the north bay and 51 in danville and 57 now in livermore. as we go into today, it'll make it up to 80 in san jose. so not too bad, but a short drive to morgan hill. you're going to notice that it's going to be warmer and 90 in gilroy. so that's just a 10 degrees range right there. all within driving down 101. we're going to see temperatures up to 77 in fremont today. while you head over to palo alto. it will be in the upper 70s low 70s for san francisco. still pretty nice. there but we are looking at some upper 80s for concord as well as 89 in fairfield and then

into the day tomorrow we see it going up another ten degrees for a lot of spots. so upper 90s and even close to 100 degrees mid 90s for much of the tri valley and oakland will see a high of 85 degrees there going into saturday. there are some slight cooling near the coast and parts of the north bay but that really doesn't have much of an impact for some of the inland valleys. but there will be, at least in some areas, places where we can go and cool off. high pressure remains in control into sunday as well as early next week, but eventually we'll start to see some cooler temperatures coming in by the end of next week. so fairfield, we're still in with the temperatures going up and down way up for next tuesday, and then back down by friday, where we could only see highs up to about 80 degrees. you can see all the changes there over the next seven days. so the good thing is that you can just keep checking in every morning to know what to wear that day, because it may go from jackets to shorts and also back to

jackets. the next day. and mike, you were checking in at the bay bridge? yeah, we're looking at the shot here from emeryville, still looking at a smooth flow into the city right here. as you're approaching the skyway and the central freeway. but more volume shows up here, as we can see approaching treasure island. and that's why i'm still concerned that they have this crew on the grid. caltrans not as much slowing as we saw on tuesday. it's a little bit better, but we still have reports that the crew is down to one lane and scheduled to possibly be there until 6 a.m. on tuesday. that caused a backup all the way across the span. it's not there yet. this morning. still a pretty smooth drive until the tail end of that bridge approaching 101 off the skyway, so we'll continue to follow that. hopefully the next few we'll see it clearing. we do have that build for highway 37 right on schedule. there highway 4 no break, but we know the volume is building into concord out of pittsburg bay point. a smooth drive down the 680 corridor in through the tri valley and down into the south bay. this crash north 101 heading out of san jose. it

looks like it's over on the shoulder. no problems for 2.37 or any of the other south bay freeways right now. back to you. thank you. mike. addressing the rise of obesity in america. next on today, the bay will talk about new findings and policies that could helmake ap

we put on the table for dinner is just one factor. 28% of adult californians qualify as obese, which is high, but lower than the 43% of all u.s. adults. 20% of all american children have obesity. these are all numbers that have been trending upward across the board for decades. the trust for america's health, which collected the data, says obesity is not about the choices we make in a day. it's about public policy in our communities. it's not simply individual personal behavior, but there's other health conditions that stress our genetics, but also the environment. importantly, it's how we have access, whether we have access to healthy and affordable nutritious foods, as well as convenient and safe places to engage in physical activity. data shows that obesity related issues cost the nation $170 billion a year, so increasing access to affordable foods and exercise, continuing

policies like universal access to school meals and lowering sodium recommendations could be good for the nation's health. next, top stories that we're following today, including a san francisco judge delivering the latest blow in a battle over drinking water everywhere. the legal order now sparking new questions at the highest levels of government. we are just hours away from the final a's baseball game here at the coliseum in oakland. the increased security, as fans say, their final good-bye. also breaking overnight, new york city's mayor indicted on corruption charges. his fiery response to the allegations, and new details about what prosecutors call the trail of evidence. w

our fans understand that they have a moment in time where they can remember what turned them into the fan that they have become right now. at 530, a full range of emotions as former players and fans prepare for the final farewell. i have a lot of tissues that i'm carrying with me. it's hard. hours from now, the a's play one last game at the place they've called home since 1968. many of the coliseum

memories are coming back to life this week, delivering one last ray of sunshine. but it's bittersweet at best, with many questions hanging in the air about how fans will respond once the game and the cheers are over. people in oakland are very frustrated with this management and what they feel like. they just straight up lied to them. this is today in the bay. good morning. i'm ginger conejero saab. marcus is off this morning and i'm laura garcia. let's start out with a look at the forecast for that final game. and the rest of us here in the bay area checking in with meteorologist kari hall. how are we looking today? it's going to be not a lot like yesterday, but just a touch warmer in some spots. like san jose. it will be up to 80 for this afternoon, but it will be warmer in the south county and gilroy will reach a high of 90. as we move over toward the east bay oakland today for that last game, we'll see a high of 77 degrees and 87

in walnut creek, as well as 87 in livermore in half moon bay. upper 60s. and in redwood city, 76 degrees. san francisco is headed for the low 70s in the downtown area, and the mission district. outer sunset at 64 and 74 for mill valley, as hot as 91 in ukiah. so we'll talk about the range and temperatures. we'll help you make some weekend plans with some events. mike, you've been closely tracking the work on i-80 and the volume as well. behind me on the screen, mid-span, there's a volume build, some slowing. and then on carey side, folks, look at that. you can see the lights slowing a bit into the city around the central freeway, where they continue to have the work on the grid. not as much slowing as tuesday, but slowing nonetheless. it's early build and holding on there into san francisco that crews slated to be there until possibly 6 a.m, so that may be causing some more slowing as you get into the city. if you're leaving in the next few minutes. we're watching a slower drive on the incline. there may be metering lights in

the next couple of minutes at the bay bridge. that's just a little bit slower at a couple minutes there. top of the screen. 37 highway four over on the right. those are typical slower patterns as you come through the north bay and also out of antioch with the build for contra costa county. no big deal for 680. bay bridge itself again if they keep that slower drive in the approach to the central freeway, they may turn those metering lights a little slower in the next few minutes. i'll keep watching very closely for you. back to you. sounds good. thanks, mike. after six decades, the oakland coliseum may not have been the nicest home, but as most any a's fan will tell you, it was our home. a home that created a lifetime of memories. today in the bay's bob redell joins us live outside the coliseum this morning. today, no doubt bob is going to be so bittersweet at best for those fans. correct. good morning to ginger and laura. you know, the oakland a's have been playing here at the coliseum behind me since 1968. there's many people who came here as kids who now bring their own kids or their own grandkids to these games. but of course, that

final game today, after the team owner, john fisher, decided to move the team out of the bay area after not being able to come to an agreement on a new ballpark here. this is a live look. you're looking at the main entrance to the coliseum, where you can see another car just pulled up here. the gates open at 8:00 this morning. there are already fans lined up there. from my vantage point, it looks like there's about ten cars. i did hear someone earlier yelling let's go oakland! so fans obviously lining up early for when those gates open at 8:00 so they can begin tailgating their final tailgate before an a's game here at the coliseum. that first pitch later this afternoon, today at 12:37 p.m. against the texas rangers in front of what we believe will be the first and only sellout crowd. all season. as you can see in this video. video. thousands of fans showed up yesterday to cheer on the a's as they unfortunately lost to the rangers 1 to 5 earlier this week. we spoke to fans about

their favorite memories here at the coliseum. i think it would have to be scott hatteberg's, the 20 game win. i think that would be my biggest thing. probably rickey, probably rickey stealing the bases. you know, that's probably my favorite anyway. and dallas braden's perfect game. those are my two biggest things. when the oakland a's walk off the diamond at the coliseum for the final time later today, she, like many other fans, will be digging into her pocket. i have a lot of tissues that i'm carrying with me. it's hard. it's so hard. i know the last game, there won't be a dry eye in this whole place. to me, it's an emotional injury. former a's executive andy dolich, who will also be at today's final game. has a message for a's owner john fisher, who has angered fans by moving the to team sacramento for the next three seasons. while a new stadium is built in las vegas. as you've seen, he's

taken out these thank you ads. bob and how does he have the nerve? how can he be so tone deaf as to thank people when he's moving the team out of a marketplace that has supported him for 57 years now? john, you had an opportunity to build at the coliseum and or howard terminal, and now you're in a dominoes toppling game. we'll see how it works. there are real concerns about how angry fans might be about the a's leaving, which is why oakland pd says they'll be posting more than 100 officers out here today. just in case there are any issues. on a side note, the a's final home series is going to boost ridership. numbers are finally surpassing pre-pandemic levels. the agency says it had over 204,000 riders on tuesday. that's the first time it's past the 200,000 mark since the pandemic started. bart has added extra trains today to help carry fans to the games. live here at

the coliseum. bob redell today in the bay. part of history there. all right. thank you very much, bob. well, live coverage on the a's final game at the coliseum continues all day long. we will be out at the coliseum during our evening newscast as well. we'll be sharing memories and talking to fans, so make sure you download our free nbc bay area app. you can take us with you on the go. it is available for all smartphone devices. new this morning, the epa now reviewing an order by a san francisco judge to strengthen regulations for fluoridated water, which supporters argue poses a risk to children. last month, the department of health and human services acknowledged a possible link between higher levels of fluoride exposure to a child's lower iq level. fluoridated water supporters argue it boosts protection from cavities. a federal judge on tuesday sided with advocacy groups, arguing it presents unreasonable risks for children's developing brains and

the epa should respond under the toxic substances control act. the judge also stressed he was not concluded with any certainty and actual risk. breaking overnight, a new bombshell rocking new york city hall. the mayor indicted on federal corruption charges. that is according to two sources who say the charges against mayor eric adams will be announced as soon as today. it's in connection to a federal investigation into campaign fundraising violations and foreign influence. now, it would be the first time in history a new york city mayor has been indicted while in office. we are also learning the fbi is now searching his home. here's a live look outside right now. as that happens, adams maintains his innocence and released a video statement. it is now my belief that the federal government intends to charge me with crimes. if so, these charges will be entirely

false. based on lies. enough. i will fight these injustices with every ounce of my strength and my spirit. make no mistake. you elected me to lead this city and lead it. i will now, while it's still not clear what charges he will face, our new york station is reporting that the investigation focuses on whether adams and his campaign conspired to receive illegal foreign donations from the turkish government. you're still taking a live look right now as the fbi is reportedly conducting its investigation at the mayor's home. earlier this month, federal authorities raided the homes of some of his top assistants, including his chief fundraiser. now, as you can imagine, calls for him to resign are now growing. also, breaking news just coming into our newsroom this morning. hoda kotb is leaving the today show early next year. hoda shared a letter

to the today show staff this morning about her decision to step down after more than five years as co-anchor with savannah guthrie. she also posted the news on instagram. hoda has been with nbc news for nearly three decades after previously working at dateline and as the co-host of the fourth hour of today with kathie lee gifford and then jenna bush hager. we'll have much more on this ahead at 630, including her tearful goodbye on set this morning. 539 right now, now to a live look at interstate 680 in walnut creek, the corridor that's now in line for a major makeover with the announcement of some serious funding. east bay congressman mark desaulnier has announced $166 million in federal funding for two projects completing the express lane gap northbound between highway 24 and highway 242, and also a new ramp system between the north main street and treat boulevard ramps to reduce some bottleneck traffic. desaulnier believes the improvements will boost safety

and reduce air pollution along the 680 corridor. the money will come from the infrastructure investment and jobs act. now to a live look outside the oakland coliseum once again, many fans will be attending today's a's game. meteorologist kari hall is tracking the conditions for that game. now i know kari. no rain in the forecast. many tears. possibly. absolutely. it's going to be, though, a really nice day. very comfortable. right? at 70 degrees at first pitch and then as we go throughout the day, it will warm up into the mid to upper 70s as we go throughout the game. but i don't know if it could get any more perfect than that. and they definitely won't have this weather in sacramento, so we'll see how that goes. if you still want to watch some baseball tomorrow, maybe you'll head to the giants game. it's going to be in the evening. really nice, cool weather and dropping back to the mid 60s for tomorrow night. there's a lot going on this weekend. and here's another sign that it's fall. el pino farms has a grand opening this

weekend. if you want to get out there early to take pictures at the pumpkin patch, it's going to be a warm day. it's still going to feel like summer with highs there in morgan hill in the mid 90s. during the middle of the day, but maybe if you got there closer to time for closing, it will be a little bit more comfortable. and then looking at sunday's forecast for the 49ers game, a little warm during the middle of the day with those temperatures up to about 80 degrees. now, mike, you're seeing more slowing for the bay bridge at the toll plaza because i believe they've slowed those metering lights down once they turn them on about the regular time. this is a quicker build than we typically see because there's still slowing across the span once you get to treasure island, brakes are tapping, getting into the city. remember, we had that overnight repair work going on. it was slated over here. i 80 at 101 like it was on tuesday. but it sounds like there may have been another project at fifth, and that may be where the slowing is clearing just now. i think they may have just cleared those crews, but i'll confirm that you do see the slowing, though, from treasure island down the skyway into san

francisco. the. excuse me, that will delay you a little bit. excuse me. the rest of the bay showing a pretty smooth flow of traffic as we're looking toward the coliseum. it's a mid day game. bob's talked about those gates opening at 8 a.m, so that will be a bigger build through the area. watch for lots of crowds after the game. bleeding into the afternoon evening commute, so that will be a factor for the a's last home game. and we have closures overnight for the bridges, the richmond bridge as well as the golden gate bridge. guys back to you. thanks a lot, mike. all right. we're just getting reports of a 3.0 earthquake up near ferndale. will monitor if there's any damage while halting the exploding conflict in lebanon. just ahead on today in the bay. the new immediate cease fire proposal for israel and hezbollah as that fighting rages on, the economy taking center stage in the race for the white house, kamala harris lays out her vision, while donald trump calls it too too little, late. we'll take you live to washington for a look at the campaign playbooks. 40 days out from election day and moving forward on a controversial new costco. details on the latest

these a nice cool start with some clouds, but quickly clearing out and warming up. you'll notice that it will be warmer than yesterday, and temperatures crank up even more

tomorrow. we'll take a look at that in our seven day microclimate forecast and great news confirmed by the grid here. caltrans crews have cleared from the approach to san francisco. no more problems across the bay bridge in toward the skyway. the buildup now at the toll plaza, because those metering lights are on. that's the goal. keeping the bridge moving smoothly. thanks so much, mike. 546 right now. developing this morning a new push for an immediate cease fire between israel and hezbollah. the u.s. european union and nearly a dozen other countries are all calling for a 21 day cease fire to allow for talks between the sides. it comes in the wake of israel's military chief advising its military to prepare for an invasion of lebanon. relentless israeli airstrikes this week have killed hundreds and hundreds of thousands of lebanese are now displaced. the conflict is triggering new global fears of a large scale regional war. 547 for you, a live look in washington at the

capitol building, where lawmakers have averted a government shutdown. both houses have now passed the short term measure that will keep the government afloat through late december, and, importantly, until after the november election. it includes 230 million additional dollars for the secret service, and it does not include proof of citizenship voting requirements pushed by former president trump. president biden is expected to sign it well before tuesday's deadline. and now to the race for the white house. vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump are making a push in battleground states, encouraging supporters to get out and vote. and on capitol hill, lawmakers are set to meet with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. he's also set to sit down with president biden and vice president harris today in the bay. brie jackson is live in washington this morning and brie both campaigns really focusing on the economy here. that's right. good morning. so the cost of living remains a top issue

for many americans in both campaigns are laying out their vision for the economy moving forward. but vice president harris, she's seeking to cut into former president trump's advantage with voters on this issue. so the facts remain. in an exclusive interview with msnbc, stephanie ruhle, vice president harris laid out her economic vision if elected. when we look at a plan such as mine that is about investing in the middle class, investing in new industries, that the overall economy is stronger and everyone benefits. harris is seeking to erase former president trump's lead when it comes to who voters trust on the economy. while in pennsylvania, she outlined her $100 billion plan to boost investments in manufacturing and blasted her opponent's policies. almost 200,000 manufacturing jobs were lost during his presidency, making trump one of the biggest losers ever on

manufacturing. the former president made his case while speaking to supporters in another battleground state, north carolina. ask yourself, is anything less expensive than it was four years ago? mr. trump also criticized the current administration for its handling of the ongoing war in ukraine. biden and kamala allowed this to happen by feeding zelensky money and munitions like no country has ever seen before. despite that pushback, ukraine's president zelenskyy is urging allies to provide more assistance. i think every leader, every country that supports us in this, that understands us. today zelenskyy will lay out his victory plan during meetings at the white house and on capitol hill, and an expected meeting between former president trump and president zelenskyy will no

longer take place. now, a source familiar with the matter pointed to zelensky's comments earlier this week about former president trump's running mate, jd vance, and where he called j.d. vance too radical. back to you. thank you, brie a lot to keep up with there. and also a follow up this morning. san jose is one step closer to getting a new costco mega store. last night, the city's planning commission gave the green light to move forward with the plan to build a new costco on prospect road in west san jose. now, that means it's up to the city council to face another decision. people who live in the neighborhood came out last night to last night's meeting to strike down that plan. now they're worried the grocery store will increase traffic in the area. but costco says it's planning to create a six foot tall wall along grace avenue to reduce noise in the neighborhood. it's also planning to build a new sidewalk along lawrence expressway. the frontage. now it's pledging an additional $1 million towards

the city's pedestrian upgrades to the lawrence prospect intersection. but still, for some, they say it's not enough. it was obviously disappointing for us, but it was not unexpected. right now, they're doing some landscaping. they're fixing a bike lane. wonderful but that's not really going to help all of those 1400 students at the high school. so what we really need them to do is to see it through, as mentioned, which is that they need to fix the entirety of all of the intersections. another vote on the project is happening next month, when the plans head to san jose city council. now trending this morning. america's got talent has crowned its million dollar winner for its 19th season and the winner, story and talent captivated agt fans. just a small town girl living in a lonely world. what? that was the audition performance for richard goodall,

who went on to win america's got talent. the 55 year old singer from terre haute, indiana, earned a golden buzzer from heidi klum. goodall was a middle school janitor for the past 23 years. he told our mike inouye everything changed when he took a chance on agt. i'm just going to fly out there and sing a song and fly home and hopefully get it on a youtube video and have a nice little memory. never did i dream a german supermodel was going to come up and hug me, and absolutely change my life. turn it upside down. well, goodall has even more to celebrate. he married his girlfriend angie in california last week after the semifinal round of the show. he seems like a nice guy. yeah. yeah. on the tape, the school. he was a janitor for. he's a janitor, right? they sent him congratulations. and the principal said, i hope i don't have to look for a new janitor, but if i do, it will be good news. he sounds like steve perry. yeah. he does. i didn't ask him if he'd come be in san

francisco to sing for the giants games. but you never know. you never know. well, it's never too late to chase your dreams, you know? and today, we're rooting on the a's of that final game. nice day out at the ballpark. it will be a nice day and really nice and sunny. and we're looking at some cooler temperatures, some of the cool air coming from san francisco will extend across the bay, but you can see we're starting out with some drizzle this morning on our live camera looking over the city. so a bit of a slightly cooler day along the coast, but warmer for the inland valleys, and it continues to heat up for tomorrow. heat sticks around in the forecast, at least into early next week, but we are still going to have our cool mornings, so right now we're in the mid to upper 50s and it's in the low 60s for san jose, where we're going to see a high of 80. so not too bad. it's just a touch warmer in some spots compared to yesterday. up to 85 in dublin and martinez. and about the same in napa and novato and in santa rosa, san francisco in the low 70s going into tomorrow. you can see some of these temperatures jumping up

about ten degrees. so it is going to be a hot afternoon in the upper 90s from concord to fairfield and all the way to gilroy. we're looking at upper 90s with palo alto in the upper 80s. some slight cooling on saturday for the parts of the coast and the peninsula extending into the inner bay, but the valleys are still going to have to turn on the air conditioning at some point. looking at saint helena, as we are looking ahead ten days, there still will be some really hot temperatures ahead. in fact, next tuesday there will be another peak in the heat and up to 101 there. but then we see those temperatures coming down and we'll only be in the low 80s for the end of next week into the weekend. so that's looking way ahead in the near term. we are going to have warm temperatures this weekend. and for san francisco, a place where we can go cool off. we're looking at mostly 60s and 70s there throughout the weekend. mike, the crews, have they cleared from san francisco? they're done with their overnight work. we had slowing

along the central freeway as well as right around fifth. there are a couple of projects, i think, at work, but they've all just cleared good recovery. we're now almost at speed coming down the skyway off of the bay bridge. they were near treasure island. there's that build coming over from the oakland side and the backup at the toll plaza itself. because of that volume and the slower drive we had. i believe they'll speed up those metering lights. so you should be back to your normal commute from oakland into san francisco over the next half hour, let's say. but that build up a little bit stronger than you might think at this time. normally, over at the toll plaza, a little build for 880. no surprises down through hayward and in the south bay. this is a surprise. here's the reason north 87 was showing early slowing. there is a crash right around curtner, so i'll check on the status once chp gets on scene. but you see slowing from capital expressway up to that portion of 87 northbound and 101 has your usual slowing as well. back to you. thanks a lot, mike. well happening now. the solano county sheriff's office is asking for help identifying a man who was seen abusing his dog. it happened yesterday afternoon at

delta meadows park in vallejo. but we don't have specific details on what happened. there are pictures on social media that show the alleged abuse. now, anyone who saw this happen or knows this man is asked to call the solano county sheriff's office. saying farewell to oakland. ahead at 6:00, our coverage of the a's final game at the coliseum continues with the new frustrations for workers being left without a job. the accusation the union is making against one vendor at the ballpa
