look at that. it's hard to see. the fleet wrapped up moments ago as they entered the bay under the golden gate bridge. the san francisco fire department led the way. to celebrate the fleet's arrival. let's look at our salesforce tower camera. an exclusive view of where the blue angels will be. we will be streaming this view of the waterfront on kpix.com and our facebook and periscope and youtube pages. >> mary bring on the good and beautiful bay area weather. >> reporter: we could not have time this any better. we have the rain that we needed earlier in the week and now the sunshine. we are looking spectacular on our cameras. a mostly sunny sky over the bay. a beautiful site for sure.

let show you our camera looking at north. you can see the golden gate bridge. that's where we have the parade of ships. you can see all of that sunshine is out there. temperatures are warming up. we are looking at low 70s and concord and low 60s in oakland. mid 60s in san francisco and upper 60s for san jose as well as santa rosa. looking spectacular as we head through the rest of the afternoon for fleet week. with the blue angels taking to the skies. mainly sunny and temperatures in the mid to upper 60s. we are looking at plenty of sunshine through the weekend and temperatures a little bit warmer. upper 60s to low 70s for saturday. especially for sunday. we will talk more about what you can expect. we are also tracking northerly winds. and what you can expect for the weekend. details on that coming up. >> let's go live to capitol hill. senator susan collins is

announcing her decision on brett kavanaugh. >> that didn't even bother to fill in the judge's names on its prewritten press release. they simply wrote that they opposed donald trump's nomination of xx to the supreme court of the united states. a number of senators joined the race to announce their opposition. they were beaten to the punch by one of our colleagues who actually announced opposition before the nominees identity was even known. since that time we have seen special interest groups with their followers into a frenzy. by spreading misrepresentations and outright falsehoods. about judge kavanaugh's judicial record. over-the-top rhetoric, and

distortions of his record and his testimony at his first hearing produced short-lived headlines, which although debunked hours leaders, continued to live on in this spread through social media. interest groups have also spent an unprecedented amount of dark money opposing this nomination. our supreme court confirmation process has been in steady decline for more than 30 years. one can only hope that the kavanaugh nomination is where the process has finally hit rock bottom. against this backdrop it is up to each individual senator to decide what the constitution's

advice and consent duty means. informed by alexander hamilton's federalists 76. i have interpreted this to mean that the president has brought discretion to consider nominees philosophy. where as my duty as a senator is to focus on the nominees qualifications as long as that nominees philosophy is within the mainstream of judicial thought i have always opposed litmus test for judicial nominees with respect to their personal views or politics. i fully expect them to be able to put aside any and all personal preferences and

deciding the cases that come before them. i have never considered the presidents identity or party when evaluating supreme court nominations. as a result, i voted in favor of justices roberts and alito who were nominated by president bush. justices soto meyer and caven who were nominated by president obama. and justice gorsuch who was nominated by president trump. i began my evaluation of judge kavanaugh's nomination by reviewing his 12 year record. on the d.c. circuit court of appeals. including his more than 300 opinions, and his many speeches

and law review articles. 19 attorneys, including lawyers from the nonpartisan congressional research service breached me many times each week. and assisted me in evaluating the judge's extent of record. i met with judge kavanaugh for more than two hours in my office. i listened carefully to the testimony at the committee hearings. i spoke with people who knew him personally. such as condoleezza rice and many others. i talked with the judge kavanaugh a second time by phone for another hour. to ask him very specific additional questions.

i also have met with thousands of my constituents. both advocates and many opponents. regarding judge kavanaugh. one concern that i frequently heard was that the judge would be likely to eliminate the affordable care ask vital protections for people with pre- existing conditions. i disagree with this contention. in a dissent -- judge kavanaugh rejected a challenge to the aca on narrow procedural grounds. preserving the law in full. many experts have said his dissent informed justice roberts opinion upholding the aca at the supreme court. furthermore judge kavanaugh's approach toward the doctrine, a severability is narrow.

when a part of a statue is challenged on constitutional grounds he has argued for severing the invalid clause as surgically as possible. while allowing the overall law to remain intact. this was his approach. >> your hearing from senator susan collins from maine. we been waiting to hear from her about her decision and how she will vote when it comes to judge brett kavanaugh's nomination. right now she is talking about

his stellar career and what she calls a very good record. about certain people who have advised her for the evaluation of judge kavanaugh. i'm talking about bipartisan attorneys who she has spoke to who have given great recommendations when it comes to kavanaugh. also other people who have advised her as well. >> she is a republican senator from maine. many consider her a gop swing vote. as well as jeff flake. we will see, early this morning the nomination process continuing where the senators are voting. 51-49. tomorrow would be the confirmation full senate vote. we will have much more when we come back.

labor market.. the unemployment rate fell to 3-point 7 percent la another strong month for the labor market. the unemployment rate fell to 3.7 percent last month. that's the lowest unemployment rate since december 1969.

analysts say this is the longest streak of hiring on record. putting millions of americans back to work since the great recession. the labor department says employers added just 134,000 jobs. the fewest in a year. that figure was likely lowered by hurricane florence. the blue angels must be up in the air. hopefully the weather cooperates. >> reporter: we are looking at fantastic weather for fleet week. a beautiful live look with our san jose camera. mostly sunny skies out there. check out our salesforce tower camera out of the bay. you can see the ships out there looking pretty this afternoon. currently temperatures are in the 60s and in the 70s. low 70s and concord and low 60s in oakland. santa rosa mid-60s right now. here is the satellite and radar view.
