i wouldn't be surprised upper 40s on a mostly clear sky. southeast san jose, southwest at sfo. still a delta breeze, but it's been cut in half compared to about 24 hours ago. the system that's right there that went through will continue to work its way through. as it does, high pressure will build in behind that. so some fog, sun, then warmer today, a little northerly wind clearing back to the coast and then down the coast and that means temperatures will be coming up. so we'll go with 60s, 70s coast and bay, and then some 80s, upper 80s and some low 90s returning. here's sal. reporter: steve, good morning. right now traffic is doing pretty well around the bay area. as a matter of fact, we do have some road work out there, though. you're looking at highway 40. you will see traffic that's going to be moving along very nicely through the cruz zone in antioch and all the way out to bay point which is what we see here. also the morning commute looks good on interstate 880, the road work here is not there right now. as a matter of fact, all the lanes are open heading up to downtown oakland. and this morning's drive is

arrested yesterday in gilroy after a grand jury indicted him. he is scheduled to be arraigned and police say this investigation is not over. >> we have concerns there may be other victims out there, either in san jose or gil roy. we don't have any specific information to lead us to believe that we are, but anytime you have a crime involving minors, that's a concern. a contra costa county amusement park worker is under investigation this morning, accused of possessing child pornography. police arrested 32-year-old michael hull yesterday morning at pixie land in concord. investigators say they found child pornography on his home computer. police say they do not believe hull is part of a ring or that he molested any children, but that investigation continues. new this morning, san francisco police are increasing increasing patrols in the mission district after two gang- related killings in just 24 hours. police say they will flood

neighborhood where a vandal slashed the tires on more than 60 cars. cars were targeted along a 17- block stretch, mostly on california street in berkeley. some cars had more than one tire slashed. we talked with one man who just relocated to the area to find work, only to find damage to his rental truck. >> yeah, this is tough. >> police tell us here at ktvu that they know who they're looking for and that an arrest could be made as early as today. the family of a man killed in a deadly boating crash on the san francisco bay has filed a lawsuit. ming traun was tossed into the water on august 3rd after his boat collided with a yacht. the family blames the yacht owner. brisbane police say they did not find any sign of alcohol in the crash, but results are pending for a sobriety test given by the coast guard. the yacht owner was reportedly sued in 2005 for another

released. >> you can't just walk around the cupertino campus and say i think this works here so it'll work everywhere. >> c-net says the phone may have been sold on craigslist for $200 and still hasn't been found. apple is not commenting on this story. there are reports that the iphone 5 will go on sale next month. well, it seems some of the 70 state parks slated for closure have found a way to stay open. yesterday the senate passed a bill that would allow nonprofits to run some of the parks. so far there are two parks that already have operating agreements with nonprofits. a parks and recreation spokesman says these deals will be a complicated process, but if the creative -- it's a creative solution which is needed to save the parks. a group proposing to bring a semi-pro baseball team to san rafael planned a new pitch. the partners tell the journal it will scale back its proposal in hopes of winning more community support. the group will now only add a few extra seats to albert park,

but there is a lot of road work out there this morning. we're going to make sure that it opens up on time, or else we're going to have some big commute delays. so far it's scheduled to open by 5:00 or 5:30 in most cases. at 4:37 let's go to steve. >> thank you very much, sal. we had a cooldown for a couple of days. today we start to reverse things a little bit. i'm buying into it. there is he a decrease in some of that low cloud deck and also now more than in the way of fog, santa rosa and napa seeing some fog, reduces visibility. patchy morning fog. we're not coast free yet of fog, but warmer weather begins to kick in today, it will carry us into at least friday, saturday will probably be the transition day and then cooler on sunday and monday, but there are signs of a little bit more of a northerly breeze today. you can see some signs of that right there, but still some patchy fog hanging out around the coast. 50s for many here, but there are a few very low 50s, including santa rosa, napa and san rafael. another cool, cool morning. a southeast wind or a southwest

wind, but the delta breeze is about, oh, 10 miles per hour less than it was yesterday, that's a sign that things are going to be a little warmer today. the system still has to punch through and it should here a little later on. you can see the high right out there building in. as it does, that'll give us a warmup and even a little bit more of a north/northeast wind if everything continues to fall in place and it sure looks like it. so after the fog, it will be warmer today, clearing back to the coast and should disappear as well on that fog. so 60s, seftds, 80s. wouldn't take much to warm into the upper 80s and low 90s for those who are away from the coast and don't start off with any fog whatsoever. warmer friday. it does look like saturday will be a little cooler, and then a cooler pattern takes over on sunday and into labor day. happening right now, we want to take you to texas this morning where that wildfire continues to burn through palo pinto, texas at this hour. take a look at this, we see the flames burning pretty strong there. the fire has already destroyed more than 3 dozen homes in one
