>> justine: good morning we are starting this half hour with a live look outside for mark camera showing us what is happening on the golden gate bridge, while traffic is light we see that

visibility is not that great. the checkout what is in store for our forecast with erica in just a few minutes did not to the story that is only on kron4. more than 14,000 people have reported aches and pains as a result of the toxic smoke the was released on august 6th. dozens of people called to complain and now charles clifford tx to the calls >> reporter: just after 6:30 p.m. on august 6th the california highway patrol got calls from people that saw smoke above richmond. >> a am reporting about of black smoke. >> there was a bunch of white smoke mother is a bunch of black smoke coming out of there. >> reporter: dispatchers try to call the rich and fire departments to find out what was going on. >> they are busy trying to make it a lot of calls, let me try again. >> fire department are

reporting on the chevron refinery? >> we are already on the way we could do not have any information you do not have to call. >> reporter: a short time later if sirens started to sound a around the refinery. >> i hear the sirens going off right now i am just wondering if we need to evacuate? >> are we in any danger? >> that we don't know i can give you the number to the rich and fire department. >> reporter: lacking specific details to give people they started telling people to contact rich and fired directly or listen to radio and tv reports about the fire. >> do not call 911, next time to tune in to your local television station. it thank you. >> justine: we will have

more of the 911 calls coming up on the kron4 news at 5:00 a.m.. right now we want to find out what is going on with the weather erica and standing by with the latest. >> erica: we are working up with another morning of fog and drizzle. as of right now, temperatures are sitting in the '50s for the most part we have 50 to degrees in san francisco, and as detective look at some of the weather headlines it looks like into the afternoon temperatures are pretty similar if not a little bit cooler compared to yesterday. we will be in the low 60s to the upper 80s. it looks like we will keep the sunshine around again with slightly cooler conditions and really not much change into the weekend but into the next work with it looks like we could see a little bit of a warm-up. full details coming up and let us turn our to to the future forecast because it shows the 12:00 hour and 60 sprout the heart of the bay.

the warmer spots are only climbing to the '70s for the most part we will stay out of the 80's by lunchtime. the some 80 degree readings for those along the delta. it is not until about 3:00 p.m. that some of the green starts to pull back. we will see more '70's through the heart introducing 80's for the inland areas. no 90's to speak of and it looks like we will will back down--we will hold back down. we could see some low eighties for los gatos and campbell. again of course our warmest spots are reserved for the east bay in the areas. check out fairfield and antioch. it is going to be a pretty mild day for the east bay shoreline. we have pretty comfortable conditions up into the north bay. your

kron4 seven day around the bay forecast highlights that we will potentially shave off a couple of degrees over the course of the next few days. saturday and sunday will be cooler compared to the seasonal average. as we start the next workweek the temperatures will start to climb we could see upper 80s inland and its seven day around the bay. it looks like we do not have any wet weather to speak of. i will have more details on your forecast coming up in my next report now looking over at the traffic center of course there are no hot spots to start your morning off this is a pretty smooth and easy ride across the entire bay area. the approach to the bay bridge toll plaza does not show much volume with no metering lights to deal with. by the toll plaza there is no weight at the pay dates. your drive time is about 13 minutes from into the end. we will wrap up with a quick look at the golden gate

bridge. of course we do have foggy conditions with a lot of cloud coverage and potentially some slick roadways. you will definitely want to use your when shall wipers we are not tracking any problems come out of the north bay. >> justine: thank you erica. it is back to school for many students across the bay area they lot of questions are still lingering about the school budget. governor jerry brown says a lot of the problems could be solved if voters approve a temporary tax plan in november. the governor is kicking off his tour to support proposition 30 that would raise the state's sales tax by a quarter of a percent and raise the income tax on those making more than $250,000 per year. if this does not pass school budgets will face billionth of dollars in automatic cuts. dan kerman spoke with school leaders that fear the possibility of more cuts as they are trying to adapt to the cuts that are already in

place. >> reporter: if this classroom looks overcrowded it is. here at the school and others in the east side school district each classroom averages about 30 students. >> we have lost staff teachers currently have furlough days. administrators have had their salaries rolled back. it has been pretty devastating for the district. >> reporter: over the last few years the district has cut $50 million from their budget. as a result their only three libraries for the 24,000 students. the district's career center has been closed for some time. >> reporter: -- >> the students now have the resources we are trying to give them to prepare them for college. >> reporter: one person says the governor's tax measures to not pass things will just get worse. >> right now we have five

estes' the teachers have been on furlough for one week. >> reporter: the district says the failure of the tax measure means they will be forced to cut another $40 million on the next several years. >> reporter: if this is not passed many school-will have to add many more furlough days. that could mean more salary cuts and additional payoffs. >> justine: a huge crowd in petaluma. last night they knocked in five runs this

was a very exciting game. teresa estacio was in petaluma with the fans who were watching. >> reporter: all the game was critical to win, the proud--crowd in petaluma was cool and confident that 13 will pull it off. >> reporter: after the game unfolded the team did not disappoint. these girls go to school with many of the players. >> we are so excited, petaluma did so good in the last inning. >> everyone was just going for it. i cannot wait to see

that. i think so many people will be surprised when they come back. >> reporter: sure enough the team did it, they won, and they will be advancing up again. >> this is one of the best games that they have played they were so sharp and focused. i am so proud of the team they all played well. >> reporter: they are off on wednesday and then back at it on thursday. the crowd says that they will be back here as well on thursday to continue the support for their home team. >> justine: we are definitely rooting for them and we're getting reports in to the kron4 newsroom at a car has crashed into they don't on the berkeley campus we hope to get a live report from the scene in just a few minutes as we take a break with a live look outside at our roof camera from san francisco.

on highway 36 are being advised to expect delays because fire crews are working in the area. on the western side of the fire evacuation to remain in place. highway 44 north of the burned zone remains closed and viola that is north east is also evacuated. because of the fire several schools of are all closed until further notice. finally, the red cross set up an evacuation center at a sports complex in redding. >> justine: let us find out what the weather forecast has in store for today and also for the weekend of morning erica. >> erica: good morning to you just think. it will be cooler around the bay area temperatures are well below the seasonal average for the past couple weeks we have had unseasonably warm conditions however we have

mellowed out and introduce a lot more in the way of drizzle, fog, cloud cover and cooler conditions into the afternoon. now overlooking downtown san francisco you can not see too much. the tops of the building of a strike and all the cloud coverage. as we take in the that the visibility charred it is not too bad on most of bay area freeways. if you are commuting on highway 101 visibility is down to just 2 miles. checkout conditions on highway one when want you to search of the drive with extra caution and the careful of the cars in front of you. it looks like that fog will stick around through most of the morning. not only is this affecting the coastline and the peninsula but it is impacting the livermore valley. it starts to pull back as we head into the 9:00 hour we have more sunshine in the and and as we head into the afternoon the cloud coverage this is

hogging the coastline with clear conditions pretty much everywhere else. >> erica: we could reach the mid '70s for fremont and sunnyvale. if you are going to the baseball game, the oakland a's are playing the twins today. it is a day game, we will see mostly sunny conditions coupled with high clouds. your kron4 seven day around the bay forecast shows a little bit of a cool down for the next several days the not too much change in the forecast. as we start the next work week we are in the upper 80s once again for the warmest inland areas. one last bridge check this hour to get you out the door i am not looking at any hot spot. your ride is pretty tight at the bay bridge, no weight at the k gates. over at the san mateo bridge traffic is

doing well in both directions of highway 92. i have been checking with the chp over at the golden gate bridge i did not see anything in the way of a dense fog advisory. we are pretty soft in. it looks like to drive time is under 23 minutes out of navato into the city. over to the track of maps all is well. we have a lot of green on the road with sensors. if you are taking public transit it looks like you are good to go. >> justine: a colorado man has cast a contest to killing two people in alameda nearly 16 years ago. he was sentenced to life in prison without parole his lawyer says that he has never seen anyone plead no

contest to two counts of murder. the alameda police say they received information that linked him to both murders and then he confessed to the crimes last year. recent advances and dna evidence ultimately help to solve the cold case. experts are poring over new underwater pictures that may help to solve one of the tantalizing mystery of the 20th century what happened to the aviation pioneer a millionaire heart her plane was last seen in an attempt to fly round of world back in 1937 vicki has the new details. >> reporter: a spunky here cut and a wide smile describe her intrepid spirit. she pushed the limits of what aviators and women with their almost 75 years ago she elevated her legendary status. last month

researchers were looking for a cruise--clews and embarked on another mission of high hopes. >> we think her aircraft is there. >> reporter: 10 somewhere near here to a tiny reef it just 6 km long belongs to the republic of kirobatie. casey rode in because of this photograph from the 1930's that appear to show a landing gear sticking out of water. an expedition last month recorded hours of video near the site poring over pictures they paused on this image. it is perhaps nothing special for the untrained >> it was the landing gear that we saw on the 1937 photograph, maybe we found the thing that we saw on the

1937 photograph, although now broken into pieces. >> reporter: forensic scientists say this flood the valley. >> that uppermost has the same dimensions that will be on the landing gear. down on the right, there seem to be other components of the landing gear, something that might be a tire. >> reporter: this is new evidence that could be a step closer to solving a 75 year old mystery >> justine: . much more ahead on the kron4 morning news will find out who is behaving badly and we have weather and traffic less than 10 minutes away. [music]

>> reporter: you are looking enrolled man like the average cost a summer run a hundred $17 x of this person that for $88. the more interesting part about this but it is parked right

next to the walnut creek library with a no lock or chain. while 88 dullest is not a lot to pay for a bike if tickets stolen that is $88 down the drain. 28 bikes have been stolen from your the library most of the bikes were locked when they were stolen. the problem is not just with the bike being stolen in sight of this library electronics have been vanishing often it is because people have been leaving the is the tape recorder i found on one table over at a different table with his laptop. the truth is there is no such thing as a safe place. all you need to do is turn your back for a second and then it is gone. the interesting part, people ask me why i am here and they seem surprised that thefts happened at

walnut creek as if it only happens in that community for the fact is it could happen anywhere and this is proof. the library employees want to have a safe and pleasant experience. that requires you to be diligent and not leave your valuables unattended this could save you a headache in the future. >> justine: here is what is coming up. there is more violence in san jose we will take you to the scene of a safeway store. what happens in vegas must stay in vegas. we have more coming up in just minutes.

know that this six story building was evacuated about an hour and half or so. it is a uc-berkeley campus the police are not saying much of anything. i can tell you about 15 minutes ago and told truck came into the area and pull the car out of the building itself and towed away. the students that were in the dormitory were allowed back into the area of the gas had been turned off had been turned off a while ago. pg&e are still out here on the scene obviously they're checking to make sure that everything is fine. i am saying that we are getting almost no details from anyone involved in this as soon as to get more information will pass along. >> mark: so you are trying to find about any injuries and as far as the condition of the driver of the vehicle. >> reporter: yes that would

be it, but as of this point they are getting no information. >> mark: we will check back in with you. >> darya: and other developing story this one out of the south the history of violence in san jose, investigators are looking at the city's 31st murder that happened last night. a man was stabbed to death inside of a safeway store. will tran is live. he is outside of the east san jose safeway where did this happen? >> will: the victim was inside the safe way near the produce are around 8:40 p.m. this whole area was a crime scene investigators roped off the area looking for evidence the to the video from this place maybe they will have a description of the suspect a little bit later this morning. here is video that we got once the investigators arrived. all we know is that the man was in his 20s did not know the

motive behind this. you could speculate that this would be gang-related but at this point we ask the homicide investigators last night and they did not want to go into the details as they said they need to investigate this a little bit more. after stabbing the victim the assailants left this place there were witnesses inside the time. investigators talk with the mexican political into the san jose police department hopefully we will get more information and for now let us send it back to you. >> darya: that seems crazy, i know there were shoppers out there i am assuming that there were a good amount of people were people just walking around in the store? >> will: there were shoppers inside the store apparently the shoppers some of them came up to the victim the victim was trying to say some words, a one shopper the victim passed out before he was able to utter any words. the fact that this happen while there were people inside shopping mall
