>> our meteorologist p.j.s would be nice, we do have a change, still mild to warm but not as warm as yesterday, especially by the coast, 70s and 80s but temperatures are taking a dip, clouds there will clear out, so cool for some, mild for others, partly sunny and cloudy, a weak system coming in which will turn the wind more westerly yet 45 napa and santa rosa, 62 san francisco, so there is a huge difference in some of these, fairfield made it to 49, the cloud cover keeping some more 50s down towards san jose parts of the peninsula as well. see those right there, they will thin out and move out and this system works in, we are on the southern edge but will give us a west breeze, so san francisco going to go 74 but you will hit that by noon and drop fast here as the wind does turn westerly or at least northwesterly. this is choice, micro climate forecast, 70s, and then inland you start to see some around the bay some 70s, upper 70s in land, very very low 80s and temperatures topping out for areas from 81 to 83 degrees so

i would buy most of this, a few areas warmer, higher clouds there, they move out for the morning, then there is your afternoon that will give us a cool down, 60s, 70s and inland 80s, here is sal. >> steve, good morning, looking at the bay bridge, you can see that there is something going on here in these lanes. it is either a stalled vehicle or something is right there, westbound, so i will tell you that traffic is going to be affected by this, so we will keep an eye on it for you, also looking at the commute, traffic here on interstate 880 is looking good in both directions. now, if you are driving to -- taking bart, no delays, bart, cal train or muni, 6:03, back to the desk. >> we are following developing news this morning from palo alto, the investigation underway into an early morning house fire. janine de la vega first reporter on the scene and we understand there is a new development now. >> reporter: well, the fire investigator just arrived here, that is the person who is going

to determine the cause of this fire. now he can't do that until the building inspector says it is okay, that is the gentleman standing there in that yellow jacket speaking to the firefighter. now as we speak off and on firefighters have been intermittently putting out hot spots and still hosing it down from the outside because it is still too dangerous to enter, firefighters arrived here at the house at 4:00 a.m. after a passing motorist called in to 911 reporting smoke in the area. the home had flames shooting from the top of the roof and it was engulfed, causing firefighters to attack it from the outside, surrounding homes were evacuated and they were able to knock down the flames within 20 minutes, the house had been abandoned and there was no electricity which leads officials to believe that the fire appears to be suspicious. >> we had the building inspector run the address and

found out it is set up for possible renovations, so at that point we can only assume no one is inside but as soon as conditions are safe we will go in and do a check to confirm this there is no one in the structure. >> again once the fire inspector is able to enter the home they are going to see if it was possibly a transient trying to stay warm inside or if there was anyone else inside the structure, a building inspector needs to determine again if it is safe, make sure the roof won't collapse if anyone enters, in the meantime firefighters are watching this house closely. it is still smoldering and in the last 45 minutes we have seen flames so they are going to stay here, watch it and make sure to house down for hot spots. janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. >> 6:05. a hotel in richmond has been

ramp is closed this morning. meantime the vegetation fire in larkspur burned several acres of a area at 4:00 in the afternoon yesterday near marina vista avenue. with the help of planes and also firefighters on the ground they controlled this within an hour. no structures were damaged, no one was hurt. the cause of the fire though is under investigation. >> pg&e crews have begun shutting down a natural gas line in san carlos, the judge's order comes after e-mails questioned the pipeline safety. it is line 147, it runs under britain avenue between 280 and highway 101. ktvu's tara moriarty joins us now with more on these. >> many people we spoke to there said they wanted proof, not promises that this line was safe. at first the agency said it would simply reduce the pressure but yesterday pg&e started shutting down the line. that is after a judge issued a temporary injunction.

they will use tools and start collapsing the roof. its already partially collapsed but they want to make sure they collapse the rest of it and that way they believe they will then be able to enter the house and will be deemed safe because again they still have no idea if anybody is inside. let's go to video we took earlier that shows them fighting the fire. they arrived here at the house on madda deero avenue at 4:00 a.m. after a motorist called it in to 911 reporting smoke in the fire, the flames were shooting from the top and engulfed causing them to attack it from the outside, surrounding homes were evacuated and they knocked down the flames within 20 minutes. we are told this house had been abandoned for at least about 20 years, there was no running electricity according to them, which leads them to believe it may be suspicious, now a neighbor told us that she heard strange noises from that house before. >> sometimes there are a few

noises like there are people over there. i am not quite sure like if they are homeless or what their situation is but sometimes you do hear noises. i had heard like some rustling around earlier in the evening around like 7:00 or 8:00 but i didn't think anything of it because sometimes there are animals in the backyard. >> fire investigators will look into that, that neighbor had two sons shaken up but everybody is now save. once the inspector is able to enter the home they will see if a transient was inside trying to stay warm or anyone else inside the structure, again they still have no idea. back out here live i am not sure if you can hear that but sounds like a chainsaw because again they are trying to collapse the roof again so they can enterit and start

investigating what actually caused it. they have been putting out hot spots because it is still smoldering and they will stay here and watch it and we will continue to monitor it to determine was there anybody in there, can they determine a cause, the house i forgot to mention was actually slated for a remodel, so again, nobody was inside there, no electricity, so that is why it appears they are saying to be suspicious, live from palo alto, janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2news. >> they are still on the island after two small fires there caused a track back up on the bridge. the fire was reported at 8:00 last night and burned 4 acres there in steep brush. there are few hydrants around and the water pressure is low so a fire breath was brought in to spray water on the flames from the bay. firefighters say the wind was a major factor in this fire. >> it is a very light breeze

here that helped fuel the fire and bring it a little bit up the hill here but a greater breeze and a real windy day would have moved significantly rapid. >> the fire did not cause any injures or major damage but it did send a big plume of smoke, which of course distracted bay bridge drivers. it caused a big traffic jam for several hours. again those crews are still watching for flare-ups. happening now a tanker truck flipped over this morning in richmond and a nearby hotel, the america's best valley inn has been evacuated. that truck is leaking. ktvu's alex savidge is there with the details of what is happening now and how they plan to move that truck. >> good morning, dave. i am told this truck belongs to a company called allied propane, the subsidiary of chevron, here is the plan now, what needs to happen is the

propane inside the tank will be siphoned out into this tank before they actually move it. it will be a slow process i am told. in the meantime the hotel, the america's best value inn has been cleared out as a precaution. firefighters say they are not worried about fire but fumes. the issue is this leaking tanker truck you can see here still on its side on the on- ramp to eastbound 80. let me show you the scene after it happened. this truck was turning on to the freeway and the driver lost control and the rear tank tipped over. it was carrying propane and began to leak after the crash. at this point firefighters say there is no liquid coming out, only vapors and the plan to is have chevron, the company that owns the rig, off-load the

propane. >> they are going to empty it into an empty truck, they are going to off-load the product on to that truck here and we will use our tow trucks already here to get the vehicle back on the road. >> but in the meantime it is causing a real traffic mess, both the onand off-ramps do remain closed but traffic is still moving on the freeway. a richmond fire captain tells me it will take several more hours to empty out that propane and clear this tanker truck, getting all the roads back open in this area, live this morning in richmond, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> well, the clock is ticking towards another possible commute meltdown in the bay area, bart workers could be on strike by the end of the week, the cooling-off period ends thursday night and a strike could begin friday morning. now for the heat is now on for the two sides to reach an agreement before the strike deadline, contract talks between management and bart unions are set to resume this
