that's the many tours of duty in afghanistan. the president breaking down his plan to bring home american troops nearly 10 years after president bush launched the war in afghanistan. president's plan to bring home 10,000 troops in year, another 23,000 will follow next year. and that will still leave 70,000 troops in afghanistan

it's expected to cost the u.s. over $1 trillion in the past decade. >> now we must invest in america's greatest resource, our people. we must unleash innovation that creates new jobs and industries while living within our means. we must rebuild our infrastructure and find new and clean sources of energy. most of all, after a decade of passionate debate, we must recapture the common purpose that we shared at the beginning of this time of war. for our nation draws strength from our differences and when our union is strong no hill is too steep. no horizon is beyond our reach. america, it is time to focus on

nation building at home. >> not everyone agreeing with the president's plan. some leaders in washington say the number of troops coming home is too many too soon. justine? we are learning now that the barry bonds case is going to take a new turn today. federal prosecutors are expected in san francisco this morning to discuss whether or not to schedule another perjury trial for bonds. a federal jury convicted bonds of obstruction of justice in april but it was deadlocked on three counts charging that bonds lied to a grand jury about using performance enhancing drugs. so prosecutors must decide now whether or not to drop those charges or schedule a new trial. we don't expect though that bonds will be back in court today. mark? thank you. on the bay area weather. the big story today with the cooldown. a little chilly around the bay. we can't win today. >> it's too cold?

two days ago it was too hot. the view from the roof cam. cloudy skies over san francisco. again like we had yesterday. we have that low cloud cover, the marine layer, the fog along the coastline. that's what we're going to be dealing with this morning and it's a cooler start, even inland. livermore in fact 10 degrees cooler than we were yesterday morning, just to give you an idea of how much cooler the inland locations finally getting relief from the marine layer that started pushing in yesterday. sunny and breezy this afternoon and of course we're going to be dealing with highs this afternoon that are -- well, for the rest of the week, that are at or below normal. so if you go outside and feel like it's a little cooler than it ought to be this time of year you're right. but all in all doing ok. the satellite shows where we are. the heaviest stuff still hugging the coastline along the peninsula. maybe a portion starting to stretch in towards san francisco and the golden gate bridge. yesterday the bridge was socked in. we'll see fit happens again today. the temperatures lookout for the current hour. san francisco 54. 53 in oakland. 50 napa.

a little warmer to the south today. 57 san jose. now the east bay, 55 degrees now in livermore and nice mild 62 degrees in antioch and brentwood. this afternoon we're going to see temperatures get up into the possibly low to mid-80s. which is a big drop from where we were monday and tuesday. looking for 80 in santa rosa and novado. 79 fairfield and downtown san francisco, probably warming up to 64 today, a little cooler along the coast. warmer in redwood city and palo alto, mid-70s there. 70 expected in oakland. hayward 73 for you. freemont 75. the valley and livermore valley, delta, hot spots earlier with temperatures near 100. today upper 70s, low 80s. san jose, mid-70s. we were 95 two days ago. 85 yesterday and now san jose with a maximum temperature of 75. so you dropped some 20 degrees

over the last 48 hours. pretty impressive. we're going to hold on to this mild weather pattern as we head into the weekend and beyond. you can see the forecast is going to repeat everyday with morning fog and mild afternoon temperatures. that's your weather. now a check of the commute. hopefully everything is fine. >> things look great. we normally like to start with hot spots because if you need to know there's a major problem or unusual delay. thankfully that is not the case this morning. we'll start with the bridge deck. as we look at the bay bridge, look how light the traffic is here. you might think it will be an easy ride. with the way the metering lights have been running lately there's no guarantee about the backup. right now though a great time to the bridge. the san mateo bridge, no delays, highway 92 looks good both at the 880 interchange and 101, and golden gate bridge still problem-free. as james mentioned fog not the factor today that was yesterday

for your commute. bart is talking about some delays because of switching problems. for the richmond station. it's affecting any trains in and out of richmond. they could be eight to 10 minutes behind schedule. we'll keep it in mind to see if it's an ongoing problem. 6:07. we'll be right back.

welcome back. following storm damage around louisville, kentucky and damage to churchill downs. the site of the kentucky derby. here's amateur video showing

some of the funnel clouds forming in the area. nine stables damaged at churchill downs with a tornado hitting the area. no reports of any injuries though to people or horses. although some of the horses went scrambling when their stables were hit. with the tornado. a dorm and chapel. let's show you video from churchill downs. here's the overhead view. you can see the damage to some of the stables. all the races were cancelled and many of the horses now moved from the area. at violent storms blew through kentucky and damaged the churchill downs area. many residents in iowa searching for higher ground now as floodwaters from the missouri river are threatening homes. a mandatory evacuation in effect for the western half of freemont county, county officials are concerned that floodwaters will overrun a levee surrounding hamburg. most county roads connected to hamburg are shut down and freemont county officials say

flooding in parts of hamburg is already extensive. a shelter is set up at a local high school for evacuees. federal officials rejected california's request for a disaster declaration that would have helped us recover from the series of storms we had in march. look at the video of the flooding from cap -- capitola. fema was asked for help. fema said those storms were three separate events, affected different parts of the state at different times. so they determined handling the storm damage was not beyond the combined capabilities of california as a state and local governments. so basically they said you're on your own. we're just happy we're drying out now. we could use the help but at least mother nature has helped. >> no rain in the forecast. this was recorded a few minutes ago. looking out over the bay area, you can see the low cloud

cover, that fog bank hugging the coastline. clear skies above. we'll have that this afternoon. we just have to get through some of the early morning low cloud cover and fog. that is in the forecast for this morning. temperatures predominantly in the 50s. this afternoon, sunny and mild. breezy inland. a nice strong marine air push coming off the ocean. it will be cooling off. not just inland spots but central and northern california valleys. mostly clear this evening, in the 50s. so the satellite view actually gives us a better look at that fog and where we're seeing it heaviest now and it's mainly confined to the coastline along the peninsula from san francisco on down. that's where we're seeing the heaviest of it, might be breaking up a little south of san francisco. not as intense as yesterday but we'll let you know if it's starts to obscure the vision at the golden gate bridge. 54 currently in san francisco. san jose 57. and upper 50s, mid to upper 50s for the far east bay locations. even up into the 60s. antioch 62. this afternoon we're warming up

to the low to mid-80s for most bay area locations. looking for 70 in oakland. warming as you head south. looks like san jose will top off about 75, along with livermore and antioch coming in the low 80s this afternoon. your forecast shows the mild weather patterns continue into the weekend and beyond. won't go up below low 80s the next seven days. morning fog is a fixture for the foreseeable future. there's a possibility of maybe a system for wednesday but looks at this point it will stay well to our north with the rain. we're watching for that, but it will bring us cooler air dropping off the temperatures a little more. that's the weather. george? how's the traffic. >> we've been tracking a potential hot spot. the public transit commute, we heard words of delays in and out of richmond. erica just spoke with bart central and the good news is they plan to have that problem

resolved in the next five to 10 minutes. so there will be some residual delays in and out of richmond only the. it hasn't translated into systemwide delays and should be wrapped up in the next several minutes. on the freeways, no other hot spots. that means no major incidents, no unusual delays to slow your ride. let's start with the bay bridge toll plaza and sadly looks as though the metering lights have already been activated westbound with the very light traffic and despite it we could see another backup today as we saw yesterday even when there were no incidents to warrant such a big backup. the ride to the san mateo bridge, a look here and traffic still pretty light. this is the westbound side, a good commute heading over from the hayward side and still looks good on 880 in and out of hayward passing highway 92 and the interchange and turnoff for the san mateo bridge. golden gate bridge, 101 southbound fog still above the deck. and even through morerin county, no delays on the southbound side, the commute

direction out of novato heading to the toll plaza. for the ride through san francisco, if you're heading south towards the peninsula, 16 to 19 minutes this morning from downtown san francisco to reach the airport. >> thank you. 6:20. this morning the bart board of directors is going to hear the results of a public survey about whether to extend service by one hour on friday nights but that would also mean service would begin an hour later on saturday mornings. the public survey suggests the change in hours would have a negative impact on low income and minority riders. sore -- for this plan to move forward more work needs to be done to find transportational alternatives for those riders. >> a pilot whose nasty comments were overheard about colleagues. the pilot didn't realize his cockpit mock -- microphone was in the onposition and many words were

believed occupy after it was made public. he was complaining about homosexuals and older flight attendants. >> an air traffic controller tried to warn him the comments were being broadcast but the houston-based pilot went on speaking for about two and-a-half more minutes. the southwest airlines vice president apologized for the incident. >> on behalf of the pilot i want to apologize to our employees. to our customers, and to fellow pilots in the industry. this is an isolated incident with one employee making a poor decision using inexcusable language and is not representative of the 35,000 hard-working respectful employees of southwest airlines. >> the incident happened back in march but the audiotapes are just coming out. southwest airlines says the

pilot apologized and he was reinstated after going through diversity training. time now is 6:22. we'll be right back with more. let's get a live look. how about tahoe. you mountain bike there. >> there was snow, remember? >> yeah. >> on monday. we've been watching it disappear. >> now you can hike. we'll be right back.
