a conclusive opinion that this was not the appropriate indicates for a death penalty sentence. >> all the suspects are between 17 and 20. there are no pleas. this morning more than a dozen officers who used to work for the half moon bay is now working with the sheriff's department as a cost-cutting measure. the public is invited to the 11 a.m. ceremony at the old courthouse in redwood city. after a month of discussion and debate, the vacant mayoral seat in san carlos has finally been filled. vice mayor andy klein was officially sworn in as mayor at a city council meeting last night. the city's top spot opened up after the former mayor omar ahmad died of a heart attack in may. klein's promotion was delayed because in san carlos the mayor is appointed by the elected city council members. all right. we have some warm to hot temperatures showing up around

the bay area something we haven't been able to say in quite a while. mostly clear skies inland but patchy fog at the coast, even drizzle at the beaches early on. but by the afternoon, that is all gone and the sunshine is going to really crank things up today. 70s to 90s in the valleys, you get the ideas. 60s and 70s inside the bay even at the coast should become mostly sunny there and temperatures up well into the 60s in many spots. so high pressure takes hold. we have a weak offshore wind that's helped to bring you that ridge of high pressure and the offshore winds will clear out the skies for today and warm the temperatures up outside. so that strong ridge holding for today. looks like probably tomorrow, too. and then it will start to weaken somewhat and we'll begin to see more of an onshore push kicking in. so enjoy the temperatures today. about 84 degrees in san jose, getting hot in morgan hill, 90. 83 milpitas. at the coast should be a nice beach day if you want to head there this afternoon. 66 degrees in half moon bay

about 65 in pacifica and about 79 degrees in fremont. east bay the 90s inland this afternoon. 92 brentwood, 91 antioch, about 88 in livermore. 76 degrees alameda. north bay looking at lotta's fountain toward the afternoon, lots of 60s at the coastline. those offshore winds cranking the numbers up in santa rosa to 87 degrees. 90 in fairfield and 88 degrees in the napa valley. so you get the idea, some of the hottest temperatures we have seen will continue likely into tomorrow, maybe slight cooling at the coast. and then we get more of a sea breeze on thursday. that will help to drop those temperatures around the bay area through thursday and friday. toward the weekend, though, we could very well see the temperatures warming up. that's a look at weather. let's check of traffic with elizabeth. >> thank you, lawrence.

i'm thinking outdoors, outlets, napa. let's go towards marin county. we have overnight roadwork still continuing northbound and southbound 101 through novato various lanes blocked to about 6:00 this morning. also some foggy conditions across the stretch of the golden gate bridge. no official fog advisory those issued by chp. at the east bay live traffic sensors mostly picking up top speeds, 65, 67, 70 miles per hour up and down the nimitz freeway. as play kansas city tonight around 7:05. you may find delays, slight delays, this evening. to the benicia bridge, coming into martinez, traffic looks great across the span. this is a live look right now. our sensors are all picking up speeds over 40 miles per hour so if you see green, that means good. another half hour that may

change the east bay looking good. all your approaches to the bay bridge, nice and light. no metering lights. roadwork on the upper deck, all green mostly heading up the incline towards the "s" curve. mass transit remains on time. if anything changes and you're about to hit the roads, remember kcbs, our radio partners, at 740-am and 106.9- fm. that's your traffic and weather. back to you. >> liz, what did i just sign up for? >> napa outlets outdoors. >> oh, yeah. i knew i wanted to be in on that. >> i'm in, too. >> sure. >> thanks a lot, liz. 4:54. we do have new research which is casting doubt on the value of screening toddlers for autism. a canadian study in the journal of pediatrics says autism tests can produce false positives and leave children with labels that are difficult to remove. two major organizations, the american academy of pediatrics and the centers for disease

control, still encourage routine screenings for autism. and there apparently is no need to get rid of that family's pet when a baby arrives. a study in the journal of clinical and experimental allergy shows that infants who grow up with pets are 40 to 50% less likely to develop allergies to those animals. researchers say early exposure to pet bacteria and allergens may actually boost a child's immune system. >> and it's fun. >> i'm sure the dogs and cats are relieved. >> yeah. >> speak of cats, there is a bay area cat lover who is celebrating a really big win against the irs. >> jan takes care of more than 70 stray cats in her home in oakland. the neighbors must love that. the irs had rejected her tax return after she tried to deduct the cost of putting up the animals but she appealed that decision to a tax judge and she won her case. >> i argued that it was no different from a daycare center where you can deduct a portion of the house and a portion of

your utilities being used for the charitable purpose. >> that cat looks happy. >> jan says her win paves the way for volunteers of animal rescue groups to also deduct their expenses. it's 4:56. experts say airlines are using baggage fees to stay in the black. >> the government says airlines collected $3 .4 billion in bag fees last year. that was 24% more than a year before. last year's profits for the major airlines reached 2.6 billion which is less than a total collected for baggage fees. you know, i was reading in "time" magazine. that's only a fraction of what they earn. you throw in meal costs, pillows, blankets, extra knee room. >> but if you want to go economy, i think i'd rather get there safe and sound and cheaply that have some kind of crummy meal -- [ laughter ] >> use jetblue, first bag is
