it's impossible to get on and off the highway. >> now at 11:00, the holiday hit absolute gridlock, the bay area roadwork that kept one guy from even getting to work. >> i had to change all my customer plans. plus if that oakland home depot planned to annoy its neighbors, it worked, make not the way the store intended. >> it does not stop at all, very loud. after decades of being banned lowriders cruise into a future of acceptance in san jose.

from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hello. i'm sara donchey. you made it to the weekend! if you're getting ready to get out of town, there's plenty to think about tonight. no matter how you're doing that, you need to be ready for the fact a lot of other people have the same idea. it's going to be crowded in the air and on the road and if you are driving, there is one big thing you need to know. caltrans is paving and making repairs on a six-mile stretch of interstate 80. westbound lanes are closed until 5:00 a.m. on tuesday between the 780 interchange in vallejo and highway 4 in hercules including the carquinez bridge. andrea nakano is in vallejo to see how drivers are making it work and in at least one case, not making it to work. >> reporter: caltrans closed a portion of the highway thursday night and many here in vallejo say traffic has been a mess all day. the closure not only has

impacted some people's holiday travel plans, but also their ability to work. the willis family from vallejo is doing what it can to avoid the traffic nightmare. >> as you can see, i went shopping. i'm home, nothing. i will went till tuesday. >> reporter: no labor day traveling for them with the closure of a portion of westbound 80. alternate routes turned into parking lots, especially during the evening commute. >> it doesn't make sense. i'm like who is making these decisions? >> reporter: ricardo willis is a delivery driver. he was at the california/oregon border friday morning and rescheduled his deliveries for the day. >> when i got ready to come down and i had to go into san francisco, it would have added a two-hour delay for me to get down to san francisco this afternoon. so now i had to change all my customer plans and deliver tomorrow. >> reporter: this family came all the way from texas to visit the bay area and got stuck right in the middle of the

traffic chaos. >> it's impossible to get on and off the highway and this road out here, 780, has become a mess. >> reporter: what he thought was going to be a simple bite out to eat ended up being a major road trip. >> we're going to a restaurant and looked it up and it said an hour and a half to get there and it's a two mile away restaurant because you have to go up and around and around and back down. >> reporter: caltrans says with the closure it's taking 106 nights of work and shrinking them down to four days to do badly needed road repairs. drivers understand the work does need to be done. >> you got to kind of bite the bullet and given how bad traffic is on a nonholiday on that road, i think you got to kind of bite the bullet. >> it's needed. the roads do need the repair, but i think they could have went another way about fixing them during another time, during the holiday weekend. >> so despite how bad the backups look, caltrans said it would have been worse to shut

things down during regular commute days. they say traffic patterns are usually lighter during the labor day weekend, believe it or not. we posted trips on getting around the closure on kpix.com. air travel is really busy, too, in this post pandemic world with the number of travelers this weekend up about 40% compared to the same time last year. today we saw long lines at sfo, oakland, and san jose mineta in part because of storms in nevada, texas and portland. those caused at least 79 delays at san jose alone. luckily if you haven't left yet, you might have missed the worst of it. tonight was projected to be the busiest period of holiday weekend travel. of course, the all important weather plans when it comes to a holiday weekend, you like to use the word outdoor plans -- words, outdoor plans. >> two words. friday night, got to grade on a curve. >> i have no idea what i'm saying at this point in the evening. if we do have outdoor

plans, will the weather cooperate? >> temperatures definitely will, could be some drizzle here and there which is weird for labor day weekend. >> yeah. >> let's look at the big picture pattern. this is the current view of downtown san francisco. the salesforce camera is shrouded in cloud cover and fog. highs today only reached 60s and 70s on the 1st of september. that's weird, especially when you compare it to a year ago when we had 115-degree high temperatures. tomorrow will be another cooler than average day for inland parts of the bay area, pretty close to normal for san francisco and oakland, but a good 5 to 10 degrees below normal inland and there is a chance of patchy drizzle in the higher elevation of the coastal ranges, a couple light rain showers possible, especially north of the golden gate. more clouds saturday and sunday, not completely gray, and more sunshine breaks through for the holiday on monday and that starts to warm our temperatures back up. overall temperaturewise looks like a

fine labor day weekend. if you had drizzle in your neighborhood this morning or this afternoon, you're likely to see it again tomorrow and sunday. plan accordingly. >> we will do. that thank you. classical music blasting in a home depot parking lot, not what you would expect on your fourth trip to find the right drywall screw, but there it is blasting nonstop 24 hours a day for the last three weeks. it's in east oakland on alameda avenue right off 880 near high street. da lin found out it's playing to keep some people away from the store, but it seems to be annoying everyone in the process. >> very loud and annoying. >> it grates on your nerves, definitely grates on your nerves. >> to me it's good. >> you could hear it all the

way to shell, which is a block and a half away. >> reporter: this is far from a music hall. >> i enjoy classical music, but i'm surprised to hear it here at the home depot parking lot. >> reporter: the speaker located right above a mobile surveillance security system. >> all day all night. i can certainly hear it and i know it's wearing on my nerves. >> reporter: the store is surrounded by rvs and tents. some believe it's a way to make it uncomfortable for the people who are unhoused. >> doing nothing is not the right answer either. so i think putting classical music is the kind of solution i've heard. >> reporter: while neighborhood watch captain deb supports the solution, she wants home depot to lower the speaker to street level. she says the speaker is placed too high and the music is traveling to nearby homes. she and about a dozen families live behind the store. after she went to talk with the store manager, the store shut down the speaker in the back parking lot. the one in front is still blasting.

>> to make us feel like we're less than anybody else is not cool. with the people around here, i think it would kind of eventually backfire. it's just going to get broken or sabotaged. >> reporter: councilman noel guy gile understands why they're doing it. neighbors complain the stolen and stripped cars are linked to the encampments. >> certainly is a creative way to maybe get some of the people frustrated to move out, but i don't think that's going to be the solution. >> reporter: deb says the best solution is if the city can provide more housing and mental health services. >> we support them. we support them. this needs to be cleaned up, you know. doing nothing is not the solution. >> home depot declined to comment about this directly, but a regional director told us last year oakland has the most theft and security incidents of all their 2,200 stores. san francisco's federal building seems to be trying its

own method to keep people off of their property, fencing. we noticed chain link fences going up around the building at seventh and mission. that has been a long time hotspot for open air drug use and drug dealing. two weeks ago employees there were told to work from home because of how bad things were outside on the street. >> these people ain't trying to bother nobody. where were they going to go? i mean if you stop and move them here, they're going to move somewhere else and it's going to cause a problem somewhere else. >> we reached out to the feds to ask about the fence but have not heard back. the city says it seized more drugs so far this year than all of last year. the mayor said today police have busted more than 300 dealers, seized 227 pounds of drugs, nearly half of that was fentanyl. after years of being on the wrong side of the law, low riding is finally being

embraced in one bay area city. >> we fought to be here. we're here to stay. we're going to continue fighting for our culture. >> the celebration of culture and history in the south bay. and new details revealed about the mysterious city being proposed for billionaires in solano county. also, they just got home, but they're already planning on going back, the bay area firefighters helping maui on their own time. and i hope they add some leg room for commercial flights for stanford and cal beginning next year. the bears and cardinal will need it because instead of traveling to tempe and tucson for conference games, they'll start flying to syracuse and miami. we'll break down the big move to the - [narrator] stimulant use disorder is a disease,

(gentle music)

a group of wealthy venture capitalists and other investors have been planning to build their own city in solano county. tonight we have some idea what that would look liket in mystery since they started buying up 55,000 acres surrounding travis air force base. these are their new renderings, looks more like a mediterranean village than a city in the sacramento valley. the group that wants to build this calls itself california forever. they're billing the project as a chance for a new community, good paying local jobs, solar farms and open space, but residents nearby and politicians have kind of pushed back on this already. some california lawmakers proposed restrictions to try and protect the land around the base. some of the heavy hitters backing the project include linkedin co-founder reed hoffman and

steve jobs' widow, lorraine powell jobs. if you love lowriders, san jose was the place to be today. it wasn't that long ago that cruising there would get you a ticket. tonight, though, it's being celebrated. len ramirez shows us the long road it took to get here. >> reporter: 30 or 40 years ago it would have been hard to imagine the city allowing a lowrider happening out here on the streets, let alone on the steps of city hall, but lowriders have certainly cruised into the future, a future that now includes acceptance. >> we're here. we fought to be here. we're here to stay and we're going to continue fighting for our culture. >> reporter: armando barbosa has been cruising in san jose over 25 years, much of it through difficult times. >> there was a time period in our lives when getting in your car and going down to our favorite spot would be king and slurry. it wasn't tolerated in the city of san jose. maybe your car was too low or looked different than the rest and it

was outlawed at that time. >> reporter: san jose was one of the places that gave birth to the lowrider culture which has now spread worldwide, but the city cracked down in the 1980s and cruising was banned. barbosa and members of the united lowriders council of san jose have worked with city leader over a decade to get the ban lifted. last year was a celebration of that victory. more than 300 cars packed the city hall plaza and santa clara street was closed off for take a lowrider car show. >> we are welcome. nobody is getting a ticket, not just yet. we're here to celebrate the community and let folks know we can do this in a positive way. >> reporter: even san jose's mayor got into the action. >> lowrider culture is an important part of our city and culture. we'll continue to embrace it and celebrate it. >> reporter: it means a lot to

people like mia arroyo, a hairdresser who spend her time and money fixing up her chevy impala. >> before it was a little bit different and they had us segregated like oh, no, you guys can't do that. they would profile us to be something that we weren't. so we're just happy to be accepted like part of the community. ♪ >> reporter: part of the community with color, style, and history. >> we're definitely here. we fought to get here. we're still fighting to stay and we're definitely going to fight for the future. we're just preserving a culture for our kids that's going to come behind us. >> if you missed lowrider day, you can still catch some cool cars this weekend because more than 600 of them will be on display at the santos car show tomorrow on north first street. i love it when it starts like that. i mean what? come on, man. >> this weather has been a

little weird. i feel like we can officially say. today i walked outside in san francisco. it was wet. >> heavy drizzle which adds up to a few hundredths of an inch of moisture, but that's unusual for september. this is suntember in san francisco. things will change farther down the line. we'll be in this pattern a couple of days, a much cooler pattern courtesy of this upper level storm system swirling around sending showers and thunderstorms across northern california, plenty of that activity bubbling up over the sierra, the onshore breeze and drizzle especially along the coast and some of the higher peaks in the coastal ranges. that's the case again tonight. that doesn't show up on radar because those drizzle droplets hang in the air. they don't move fast enough for the radar to pick them up. some actual showers will be possible, a few radar freckles here and there. rain showers will be few and far between, best chance north of the golden

gate, even there a 20% chance of anything more than patchy drizzle. we'll repeat the same pattern sunday. not any wholesale changes until labor day except for wind speeds. those will be calmer tomorrow. today winds gusted 20 to 25 miles per hour. tomorrow the strongest gusts will be 10 to 15 miles an hour, but the gusty winds today certainly helped improve our air quality. that started last night and today air quality green category across the board. that's likely to remain the case heading into the weekend. surface level smoke won't settle back into the bay area. there will be some farther up in the atmosphere, so some haze on the horizon is certainly possible, especially by monday and tuesday, but at ground level i think the worst it will be is the moderate category. there is the fog dropping lower and lower. temperatures are in the 60s across the board now. they won't drop a whole lot more through the rest of tonight leveling off a mix of upper 50s and low 60s by early tomorrow

morning. high temperatures tomorrow close to average near the water, along the coast and around the bay, but inland temperatures will be a solid 5 to 10 degrees below normal, similar readings for everybody sunday. the warmest spots only approach 80 degrees in the delta and tri-valley with temperatures around the bay near 70, mid- to upper 70s for the north bay, warm than today, but it's far below what's typical for the first weekend in september. again, just think back to last labor day weekend when inland highs were over 110, 115 degrees. we can handle a little bit of drizzle. we'll see more sunshine monday, temperatures climbing a bit and then we settle into a near average pattern tuesday, wednesday, thursday and friday. that abbreviated workweek looks pretty good, inland highs in the low to mid-80s, the hottest spot creeping back up to around 90 degrees, but for early september, i think we can handle 90 on a day or two. >> for sure. we're grateful for this part. >> great. >> my hair didn't look great

when i walked outside today, but -- >> every day mine is attached i'm thankful. >> right. you know what? you're right about that. thank you. tonight a group of san francisco firefighter is back home after flying to maui to help people devastated by the wildfires there. 11 firefighters and one first responder from the department's asian firefighter association helped fight fires and handed out food and supplies in lahaina. >> when the center opened up from 10:00 to 4:00, it was nonstop handing out water, food and other basic necessities. roughly i think we served about 2,500 individuals a day and about 450 cars. so that gives you an idea how much the people of lahaina in maui needs our support. >> the firefighters say they'd like to plan another trip back to maui to help again sometime in the next couple months. stanford actually played in hawaii friday night taking on the rainbow warriors in their season opener. we break down

the game, but before stanford took the field major news for their team and their bay area rivals as they were granted a new place to play in 2024. conference realignment news straight ahead. and he goes by merman mike. up next we'll go on a treasure hunt with a california scuba diver on a

a california scuba diver known as merman mike spends his time at the bottom of rivers searching for treasures. a woman dropped her wedding ring in lake bass near yosemite which if you think about it would probably mean it was gone forever at least for month of us, but she called merman mike and this was a challenge, even for him, the professional. it was his deepest dive yet and took him almost three hours of digging. >> you can see me looking at it a second before i realized what

it was. i just absolutely blew up with excitement. it's always the moment i'm looking for the most, especially if there's doubts. >> okay. how did he do that? that was impressive. apparently he doesn't just look for valuables. he also picks up trash along the way, good guy. >> i would have never given the man hours for that. i would have been like i looked, so sorry. >> yes. we do struggle with that occasionally in relationships with you a lot. okay. speaking of something that can't be saved, the pac-12. it collapsed four weeks ago. cal and stanford were in danger of no longer playing power conference football until another conference located on the other side of the country threw them a lifeline or mermike came in or whatever his name is. this morning the acc invited the bears, cardinals

and smu mustangs to join the conference in all sports. guaranteeing the schools will remain a power conference -- little technical difficulty there. they'll also rack up frequent flyer miles. the closest school amongst the current acc members to the bay area is notre dame, just 2,200 miles away. when you think of the atlantic coast conference, there are certain moments that come to mind. there is michael jordan's game winner for north carolina in the '82 championship. how about jim valvano and the cardiac pack, nc state's cinderella run, but now there's a new legendary moment in acc history. >> i got it back down to the 30, down to the 20, under the field. he's going into the end zone. he's going into the end zone! the bears! the bears have won! >> that's right. the play, the big game, all part of acc culture now as the bears and

cardinal will leave the pac-12 after over 100 years in the conference. as of now, the pack pac-12 is oregon and washington state. 7-7 in the second quarter, cardinal get tricky, flea flicker for a 32-yard touchdown puts stanford in front. they are up multiple scores with a few minutes remaining. to baseball, giants in san diego on the scoreboard, tristan beck second batter, fernando tatis jr. going deep for a two-run home run. four pitches later juan soto also goes deep, three batters, three padres runs. beck allowed six runs in 2 2/3. jump to the ninth san francisco trailing 7-3. tying run at the plate.

been entirely focused on either of those tasks. >> i was just off and out and about. i did the same thing you do. i went running backs and sara has been saying i should know this because it's my profession. i went derrick henry, final pick of the first round tony pollard right after that. i thought that was a good move. >> not bad. thanks for leaving nick chubb for me. >> i don't know what any of this means, okay? my team, yeah. keep in mind i've never participated in any kind of fantasy football league ever. i had to google every acronym. >> do you mean the positions like te? >> no. i knew it was tight end. i'm talking about the defense and special teams, but i did have the second pick of the first round, so i got traverse kelce, the apple of my eye. >> is that the reason? >> that's why. >> it was a bold choice. >> was it? like strategically does it make sense? he was ranked pretty high in my heart. >> you could grab him in the first round.
