"mornings on 2" starts right now. we continue to follow the fire burning in napa county this morning near pope valley. this is a live picture from newschopper2. you can see the plume of smoke there. ktvu's tara moriarty is near the command center. she just learned the fire grew overnight and it is on the move. coming up in two minutes, she'll have more on where the fire is heading now. good morning. welcome to "mornings on 2." i'm tori campbell.

>> i'm brian flores. dave clark has the day off. let get your day started with weather and traffic. the big question, whether the weather will be playing a role in the fireworks. >> it's definitely helping. there's not a strong easterly breeze. more of a westerly or southerly. the fire creates its, though, own wind direction. a lot of that smoke is heading up towards lake county. there is a huge fog bank out there. the humidity is up. that's good. i did hear some low clouds made it. they burned off. a lot of low 50s on the temperatures. south wind at napa. that makes sense. two reports at pope valley. more of a westerly breeze or southerly breeze. gusts 32 at travis. even from sfo out to livermore, where we get more of a westerly breeze. it's a cooler direction. 50s and 60s on the temperatures. there were a couple of upper 40s. i did see calistoga at 48. a lot of cloe clouds, weak front coming in. it will be sunny, breezy and below normal temperatures. 70s and 80s for some inland.

berryessa close to 90. for many, the temperatures will come down. here's sal. right now we're looking at a commute where traffic is doing okay. we are starting off with a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. 25 to 30-minute delay as you drive through. there are no major problems. it's pretty slow at the toll plaza and the traffic is going to be busy. now, the rest of the commute doesn't look too bad. from concord to walnut creek there's slow traffic and on highway 4 coming in to conrecord from the antioch area. as we move over to 580 we've had some slow traffic especially in the altamont pass. it's filtering in. there's a new trouble spot westbound 580 and 680. watch out for slow traffic there. traffic will be busy. if you are driving to san jose, northbound 280 traffic, that looks okay getting up to highway 1. you can see it for yourself right there on the live picture. it's very clear through downtown san jose. i want to mention public transit. b.a.r.t. and caltrain no delays.

muni has slight delays. they sent out a tweet saying the roads are slick. some of the tracks are slick as well because of the drizzle in san francisco. back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. new video from newschopper2 of developing news in napa county. a large wildfire in pope valley has now grown to 3200 acres. ktvu's tara moriarty is at the command center where mandatory evacuations are underway as the firefight continues this morning. >> reporter: this fire is now at 3200 acres. so it increased by 500 acres overnight. we do know that it moved northeast into lake county. the good news, the humidity did suppress it a little bit and make the wildfire not as raging as it could have been. the view from newschopper2 shows a lot of low clouds and smoke. it's very hazy out. crews have this fire at 30% containment. people from 180 homes in

berryessa estates has been evacuated. this was a very fast-moving fire. about 50 people got stuck yesterday afternoon. crews say they are safe and staying put for the moment. at least five buildings have burned to the ground. one of them, possibly a home. the rest, barns and sheds. neighbors have been helping neighbors rescuing livestock. many families ended up at two red cross shelters. >> the grass, brush and even the tries are very dry. we're experiencing conditions we could see in late summer, early fall. that's what allowed the fire to grow so quickly. >> reporter: the fire began around noon yesterday and quickly scorched hundreds of acres of wooded hillside, parched by years of drought. the bone-dry conditions and extreme heat added fuel to the fire. investigators say they won't know exactly what caused this fire just yet but we're hearing reports that some young men accidentally started it while clearing weeds are power tools. we did peek to calfire -- speak

to calfire. they are planning to send aircraft out here later. probably around 8:00. we'll keep you posted on that. live from napa county, tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, tara. the red cross has set up two evacuation centers for people who have been ordered to leave their homes. one is at middletown high school on big canyon road in lake county. the second is at pope valley elementary school. 7:05. two fires burning at the same time in san jose exposed how stretched the city's resources are for the fire season. on monday afternoon, a large grass fire threatened homes in south san jose. then another fire started about six miles away at the public golf course. according to the mercury news, 60% of the city's fire crews responded to both fires and that left only a handful of firefighters to cover any emergencies for the rest of the city. the fire captain says if they are ever in need of more help, it will call an off-duty -- call in off-duty firefighters or ask for help from other

cities. despite being a very dry winter, only one city set a record. the rain year ended yesterday. san jose marked the second driest year with 6.4 inches of rain. it was san francisco's 15th driest year with 12.35 inches of rain. oakland recorded the driest ever with 9. santa cruz set a record with 13 inches. just over a half-hour ago, the dow industrial and s&p 500 opened at their highest levels ever. right now, the dow is up again. it's up 15 points at 16,8971, still getting very close to the 17,000 mark. s&p is also up a dollar and nasdaq is up 3. now, the dow actually came within 2 points of hitting 17,000 during trading yesterday. uc berkeley finance director terence says that could spur more investors to buy because crossing that mark will grab

their attention. he says people have been focusing more on the world cup than wall street, they may decide to jump on the trend and with nothing obvious to send stocks down that could move markets even further. in an unusual move, the richmond city council passed an unbalanced budget with a deficit of about $6 million. the city manager says they hope to make up the difference overtime through new tax revenues. city officials made cuts to a variety of departments, including public works, fire and 2.3 million to the city's police department. police warn, though, this could have an impact on public safety with officers taking much longer hours, in fact, to respond to lower priority calls. the city of berkeley has come up with an unusual way to try to control the problem with squirrels. alex savidge is live in berkeley and says animal advocates are applauding the new idea.

>> reporter: well, good morning to you. instead of killing the squirrels, the city is planning to make it a crime to feed them in the parks. this is meant to deal with the large squirrel population here at cesar chavez park along the water front. this park is on top of a landfill. the critters have been burrowing holes in the dirt. that could potentially lead to a leak if they break through the cap that covers the dump. city considered exterminating the squirrels but the council backed away from the idea after a public outcry. they so decided the best way to control the critters was to stop feeding them. once this new law takes effect, anyone caught tossing food to the squirrels could face $1,000 and six months in jail. over the next few months, you

can expect new signs and brochures go up in the parks, letting people know it's against the law to feed the squirrels. alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. thank you. well, the stage is now set for another tense confrontation involving the future of the as in oakland. late yesterday, the city council ordered it four members on the -- its four members on the board to reject the lease extension. that proposal would have lowered the as rent by 20%. the council will now release its own proposed lease extension tomorrow addressing its economic concerns. last week, the city council members on the coliseum board did not show up for a vote on the lease deal designed to keep the as in oakland for the next ten years. 7:09. skipping breakfast may not have a big impact on your weight loss goals after all. researchers from the university of alabama spent 16 weeks tracking 309 overweight but otherwise healthy adults and they were split into three groups. one was told to eat breakfast,

another group to skip it, and a group told not either way. many people gained a couple of pound. some loss a couple of pounds. >> i know you always have a healthy breakfast. >> yes, i sure do. a security scare at one of bay area's busiest hospitals. the discovery inside the building that's shaken up the hospital staff. to think they did this to her is just -- it's craziness. it's so gross. >> a manhunt continues for one of the suspects who broke into a home in san jose and sexually assaulted an elderly woman. the injuries police say that should help identify the man they are after. right now we're looking at the commute that's getting busier in many areas, especially east bay. as we look at the south bay, that's coming up here on 17. you can see the slow traffic here. we'll tell you more about the

was trying to get away with a fast one to rip off its customers and that's just not right. >> t-mobile says it has already stopped billing for the text services and it says it is reaching out to customers to let them know how to get refunds. there's more opposition to the golden gate national recreation area's proposed dog restrictions. the san mateo county board of supervisors voted to send a letter to the ggnra opposing the lan that would bar offleash dog walking in four coastal counties. the agency maintains it must atom date various -- accommodate various types of visitors, not just dog owners. a neighborhood is on hey leart after a mountain lion killed a deer. it happened on ferndale street near hillsdale boulevard. residents say they heard noises coming from their backyard. and when they went outside, they saw the mountain lion

being helped along by a front. there's been good news for the firefighters up there. 51 was the low. 57 right now. going for 91 high in pope valley. humidity was up there 80%, 90%. now it's 72% to 88%. a lot of that smoke is heading into lake county as well. the humidity is up. that's very good. any south or west wind is much, much better than an east or a northeast wind. there is a lot of fog here, trust me the last image is missing it. there's a ton out there. there's a fresh breeze, i'll say. 21 to 32 still gusting at fairfield. south at concord, south at napa all the way up the valley, it looks like so far. sfo, hayward, livermore, southerly breeze south to east mainly on the peninsula and also the santa clara valley. 50s and 60s on the temperatures right there. a lot of the temperatures did make it to a few upper 40s, low 50s.

brentwood, pittsburg, that's not bad. a couple of days ago i think they were 80. cooler air has made it. even the westerly breeze out to the delta. 57 in orinda and castro valley. to the peninsula we go, 53 la honda, cool there. 59 foster say, same for belmont. there's your fog bank. all of that going on, also the sierra nevada. just on the side. it's close. if you are up in truckee, tahoe, keep an eye on the sky. if you are up towards lake county or near the fire, you  can always seat me and give me information spweather. even on facebook. the fog will cool us down. so the low clouds and low overcast. breezy to windy. that's an onshore breeze. that means it's from the west going west from east. that's what we more today. low clouds and there's plenty to go around. low clouds made a rather large surge today. you get the fog that early,

that far inland. that's a sure sign that pmps will be a little bit below average. it looks like today is the coolest day. we'll start to see a slow warmup. the million-dollar question is what about the fog or friday night? i think we're all right. i think we'll be okay. it will start to retreat over the next couple of days. 60s or 70s near the water's edge. mid 80s in the santa clara valley. milpitas, 80. 678 brisbane, san bruno. 59 pacifica. daly city at 60. and san mateo, millbrae, burlingame, low to mid-70s. slightly warmer temperatures as we head to the weekend. >> thank you, steve. go pro's stock right now is -- it's down, actually. almost 8.5% in early trading. trading at $44.72. the san mateo-based company that makes those small video cameras launched its ipo last

thursday with shares at $24. yesterday it more than doubled that amount, hitting $49. a little bit of a -- maybe some profit taking right now. the cameras are very popular with extreme sports enthusiasts it had a receptive investor based. team usa's world cup run is over after a heartbreaking loss to belgium. that pretty much shows it. the game went 122 minutes. during the extra time, the u.s. went down 2-0. green scored late to cut that in half. but the u.s. couldn't equalize and lost 2-1. u.s. goalie, tim howard, had a fantastic match. he made 16 saves, the most in any world cup match since they began to keep the records in 1966. meantime, danville native, chris, was subbed in late in the gail. they a chance to put the u.s. ahead -- game.

he had a chance to put the u.s. ahead but boot the a shot over the -- booted a shot over the yet. ette -- over the net. >> i have to say the trending on twitter hashtag, tim howard, very funny. squirrels in berkeley can relax. coming up in 20 minutes how the city has decided to control the troublesome row depth dents -- rodents.

welcome back to "mornings on 2." 7:53. a jury has cleared former b.a.r.t. police officer johannes mehserle of civil rights violations in a claim brought by oscar grant's father. the father was seeking financial damages for his son's

death. jurors concluded grant's father did not have a close relationship with his son. the father has been serving a life sentence for murder since before his son was born. >> the kind of conversations he would have with his daddy would be those conversations about staying out of trouble, become responsible, get your education, get a job. >> the attorney for oscar grant's father says he's considering an appeal. the two women who were attacked while heading home from last weekend's gay pride celebration in san francisco are speaking out about their harrowing experience. jakki and jennifer say they were walking along 89th street near market saturday evening when they were attacked by six men. jennifer says one of the men told her she was being attacked because she was gay. >> i got kicked at least ten times that i could count before i held my head and i curled up into a little ball.

>> i seen the guy lift back his leg and kick her so hard in the head, it reminded me of a football player kicking off the ball. >> i felt close to being gone. >> both women suffered injuries and are working with a sketch artist. police have several leads and are asking witnesses to come forward. an appeals court in indiana has ordered the state to legally recognize just one same- sex marriage on the basis of a medical hardship. nikki and amy were legally married in massachusetts. but right now, indiana does not recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states that issue is going through a lengthy appeals process but nikki is dying of ovarian cancer. so the court fastracked the process because they want the name on the date certificate to appear as spouse.

a new ad campaign is changing cha it means to do -- what it means to do things like a girl. >> show me what it means to run like a girl. >> this ad is from the feminine hygiene company. first, it asks demonstrations for running or fighting like a girl. their actions make girls seem silly or weak. then it asks younger girls to do the same thing. they performed the same acts with strength and confidence. the point is to point out how much strength a girl loses during her early years. >> when somebody says you hit like a girl, it's like what does that mean? >> fight like a girl. >> so far more than 17 million people have viewed the ad on youtube. seen a lot of response to this on social media. >> a lot of positive response.

>> yes. coming up in our 8:00 hour, a report of a new parking problem in san francisco. it's a problem that most drivers probably never saw coming. we're live in napa county where crews continue to battle a 3200-acre wildfire. we'll tell you what calfire told us. we're looking a at a commute that's -- at a commute that's still busy in some areas. we have good news for those of you wondering about highway 101. big fog bank out there, even local drizzle. that will help firefighters. temperatures have come down. we'll see what's in store for the holiday weekend. hey there. did you select these things on purpose? not a color found nature. there's nothing wrong with tha. i can hear your arteries clogging. ok. no. this is tap water. i can't let you buy this. oh. crystal geyser please.

crystal geyser. bottled at the mountain source.

welcoheyback. really? kiss your abs goodbye. cardiologist to check stand 1. crystal geyser alpine spring water? toucé. crystal geyser. always bottled right at the mountain source. you are looking live at a wildfire. we're keeping a close eye on this morning out of napa county, it continues to burn out of control out of pope valley. tara moriarty is live near the command center. in three minutes she will tell us where the fire is moving now, how big it's gotten and the one thing that helped firefighters overnight. good morning.

welcome to "mornings on 2." i'm tori campbell. >> i'm brian clark. let's start with steve. a light southerly breeze. it's a south wind. that's sending a lot of that smoke up towards lake county. humidity was up there 80%, 90%. 51 was the low. it's already 59. it's warming up really quick. that fire can create its own weather. a lot of low clouds and weather. there's a westerly breeze. it will be a cool one today. south 17 at concord. more of a southerly breeze at napa airport. west at oakland. temperatures continue to be in the 50s, 60s. we're really struggling to warm up. 61. a couple of days ago they were in the mid- to upper 70s. weak little front is coming in. if you see a few high clouds, if that fog bank clears, that's what's doing it. low clouds way inland. below normal temperatures. some areas will be a good 5, 10 degrees below average. 50s, 60s, 70s near the water. here's sal.

we're seeing some improvement for your morning drive to work, especially in the south bay but all over the place now. we'll start with the bay bridge where there's still quite a bit of slow traffic for you to wade through to get into san francisco. your drive time is about 25 minutes average getting into the city with no major problems on the span itself. also looking at the san mateo bridge, that traffic is doing very nicely getting over to the peninsula. it's about a 15-minute drive time from the toll plaza hayward area over to the peninsula where you will see she traffic at 101 -- at and 92. 2800 is still a little bit slow in cupertino. highway 101 usually looks worse. most of what i am drawing on is red. today it's pretty green. traffic is a little bit slow in mountain view but that's all. you can see that we have a better commute on this wednesday than we would on a normal wednesday. 8:01. back to the desk. thank you. we continue to follow developing news out of napa

county where a wildfire is growing in size. want to go to new video of the fire burning in pope valley northwest of bake berryessa. -- lake berryessa. tara moriarty is live with more. tara? [audio difficulties] >> it we lost tara's live shot. the fire is at 30% containment. 3200 acres. we'll re-establish with tara and get you an update as soon as we can. in the meantime, the red cross has set up two evacuation centers for people ordered to leave their homes. one is at middletown high school on big canyon road in lake county. the second is at pope valley elementary school. well, two fires burning at the same time in san jose exposed just how stretched the city's resources are for the fire season. on monday afternoon, a large

grass fire threatened holes in south san jose -- homes in south san jose, another fire started six miles away at the public golf course. 60% of the city's fire crews responded to both fires and that left only a handful of firefighters to cover any emergencies for the rest of the city. the fire captain says if they are ever in need of more help, they will call in off-duty firefighters or ask for help from nearby cities. despite being a very dry winter only one bay area city set a low rainfall record. the national weather service's official rain year ended yesterday. san jose marked the second driest year with 6.4 inches of rain. it was san francisco's 15th driest year. oakland, however, recorded its driest year ever with only 9 inches of rain. santa cruz also set a record with just 13 inches.

8:03. it's day two on the job for the new superintendent of the oakland public school system. ktvu talked with antwan wilson who says he has two main goals for oakland schools, improved graduation rates and getting more students into college. but he says both goals will take time and work. right now the oakland unified school district has 40,000 students, 100 schools and a $64 million budget shortfall. >> if kids do not have access to quality teachers, they do not have access to rigorous curriculum, they do not have a safe environment, anything else we look to build on top of that weak foundation will crumble. >> before coming to oakland, he was the assistant superintendent in denver. he wants oakland to become a city people move to because of the public school system. you might want to take a closer look at the next parking ticket you get in san francisco. the san francisco examiner says one man reported getting a

parking ticket even though he had been in the spot for less than the four-hour posted time limit. he moved his car to a different spot and kept watch. he saw a city officer start to write him a ticket less than four hours after he parked. he says when he confronted her, she drove away. he argued his case to muni who is refunding his $74 fine. a muni spokesman told the examiner is receives similar complaints frequently but officers to their best to get it right. there are plans for three new microapartment projects in the hayes valley. the neighborhood is filled with shops, restaurants and parks. some people say all of that could offset living in a place that's just 74 square feet. that's the size of a -- 174 square feet. that's the size of a shipping container. >> anything we can do to

provide housing in any respect is a good thing. for some people it might work great. not for me personally. >> it's an exciting proposition. but from what i've seen in reality where people live like this day in and day out, it's no fun. >> psychologists say living in a space that small can lead to depression and isolation. there's also the cost with a full down bed, shower/toilet combination and tiny food preparation area. these apartments will spent for $13050 a month. they -- $1350 a the mo. they are expected -- a month. they are expected to be available in three years. late yesterday, the city council ordered the four members on the coliseum board to reject the lease extension on the as project. that would have lowered the annual rent at the coliseum by 20%. the council will release its own lease extension tomorrow addressing the economic concerns. last week the city council members on the board did not

show up for a vote on the lease deal designed to keep the as in oakland for the next ten years. well, google is adding another popular app to its collection. it is buying songza. it's available online as well. it offers a free music. google says it won't make any changes to songza except to make it smaller, faster and more fun to use. google is not saying how much it is paying for songza. hooping today, it's the -- hatching today, it's the smart -- happening today it's the smart of the marin county fair. five days of jam-packed family fun and food. pam cook is live in san rafael with what to expect at the happiest fair on earth. >> reporter: good morning. it's happy. we all know kids are glued to their iphones but the fair is

about good old-fashioned fun, i'm standing in front of game on. all of your favorites connect 4, chess, checkers. pam is with me. you travel around the country with this exhibit. why the big games? what's the purpose? >> we want people to interact outside of the media in this exhibit. nothing is plugged in. you are playing games. you are talking, you are having fun. you are laughing with your parents, grandparents and siblings. >> reporter: i love that nothing is plugged in. >> it's great. >> reporter: back to the basics. this is a pretty popular event you take it around the country. what's been the response. what do people love most about it? >> they love it. parents will say, oh, my goodness ving i played this as a -- goodness. i played this as a kid. >> reporter: giant operation will be superfun and then you

have the great bubbles which is obviously entertaining the kid. so just real nice basic old- fashioned fun at the fair and the bubbles, she's gonna give us a demonstration of what these bubbles can do. >> i'm gonna see if i can put you inside a bubble. >> reporter: okay. >> ready. >> reporter: it worked. i'm showered with bubbles. when we come back in the next half-hour, we'll have something ridiculous. so you will be very excited to see that. we're always gonna talk to jim farley, he's leaving after being here 40 years. he's the man who makes this whole fair responsible and happen every year. we'll see you guys in a half an hour. >> all right. love the bubbles, pam p.m. [laughter] >> happiest fair. parts of a bomb found inside one of the bay area's biggest hospitals. coming up at 8:30, the strict security measures for irkt as and staff this morning following this disturbing

welcome back to "mornings on 2." time now 8:12. in morning, we continue to follow the developing news out of napa county where a wildfire

is growing in size. want to go to some new video from newschopper2. want to go to the fire. tara moriarty is at the command center where we understand conditions are also helping firefighters. >> reporter: we just drove through the fire-ravaged area, there are scorched power lines. they are down in the roadway. there's also a home and fg around the home -- everything around the home has burned. but the home is still standing. now, when we drove through, we noticed there's into raging fire but there are a lot of hot spots. it's quite smoky. this morning calfire released new numbers. the acreage burned is 3200. 380 homes are threatened. 180 of those had to be evacuated. we know that the fire moved northeast overnight into lake county and some bad news, the winds are expected to pick up and humidity is already dropping. crews have 30% containment at this point. we are in butts canyon, just

east of calistoga. at least five buildings have burned to the ground, one of them possibly a home. >> we're very nervous. we need to get the message out to the public, that there's zero-tolerance for illegal fireworks in the state. the safe and sane fireworks, you have to be very careful also. >> reporter: the cause of the fire is under investigation. the fire began around noon yesterday. it quickly scorched hundred of acres of wooded hillside parched by years of drought. many families ended up at red cross shelters north and south of the fire. we know that temperatures are already on the rise. that is a great concern to firefighters. we'll have much more on this story coming up on our noon news. we're live in napa county, i'm tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you for the update. the red cross has set up two evacuation centers for people ordered to leave their homes. one is at middletown high school on big canyon road in lake county. the second is at pope valley elementary school. the city of berkeley is

going to try to reduce -- try a new tactic, rather, to reduce an out-of-control squirrel population. as alex savidge explains, though, it involves changing some human behavior, right, alex? >> reporter: good morning to you, tori. the idea is to deal with the large squirrel population here at cesar chavez park in berkeley. this has been an ongoing problem in the area. this particular park is built on top of a landfill. those critters have been burrowing holes in the dirt here. there's concern that could lead to a toxic leak if they break through the clay cap that covers up this former dump. so the city of berkeley has made it a crime to feed squirrels and other animals in the park. this happened during the council meeting last night. originally the city was considering killing the squirrels but the council backed away from the idea after a public outcry. the council formed a special

squirrel subcommittee to try to come up with another solution. that's when they decided the best way to control the critters was to simply have the public stop feeding them. once the new law takes effect, anyone tossing food to squirrels could face $1,000 fine and possibly six months in jail. over the next couple of months, the city is expected to begin putting up new signs and brochures at city parks letting people know not to feed the squirrels. one woman out walking said she was happy to hear that the city is going with a more humane solution to this ongoing problem at this park. alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. about 140 undocumented immigrants, many of them unaccompanied children, are at a federal facility in san diego this morning. that's after they were blocked from reaching their intended destination in murrieta. three loaded buses had to turn around and instead go to a

customs and border facility in san diego. the immigrants came from texas where facilities have been overwhelmed by an influx of children crossing the border illegally. the authorities are racing to find facilities to accommodate them but protesters say they don't want them in murrieta. >> we gotta get a handle on immigration. you gotta stop giving them a reason to come over. >> we're the ones who build your homes. we're the ones that do your plumbing. >> now, what happens next is unclear. murrieta city officials say they were told to expect 140 immigrants every three days. the next group is scheduled to arrive on the 4th of july. today, burger king is releasing a new video about a sandwich it calls the proud whopper. only the market street restaurant in san francisco has that burger and sales started during last weekend's pride celebration. it's wrapped in a rainbow colored paper with the inscription we are all the same inside but that's the only difference between it and a

regular whopper. sales will continue through tomorrow. all money raised from proud whopper sales will go to a scholarship fund for lgbt students who graduate from high school next spring. let's go to sal. sal, looking like a lot of people may have taken the rest of the week off. >> i think today is the last big day. i think tomorrow you will see people extending the 4th of july holiday to the 3rd of july, a lesser known holiday, for some, any-- anyway. you will see as you drive down to the berkeley area, it's more crowded but holding steady. 26-minute drive time between the carquinez bridge and the macarthur maze. afnl speed 40 miles an hour -- average speed 40 miles an hour. you will see a backup, 20 minutes now. a little bit less as you drive across into san francisco. you know what's not getting better, unfortunately, is the

livermore valley commute. as we go the to the maps -- as we go to the maps, it gets better in this area. 101 has not been its usual self. it's better. 280 and 85 are the same. let's go to steve. the san francisco marmot just tweeted me. >> me too. i'm wondering what to say. i've never spoke to a marmot before. >> he said rents have soared since he was last year there. whoever is doing that, that's very good. >> we have a big fog bank. also take a look at the fire danger. just clicked over. 60 degrees pope valley. did hit 51 for a low. there was some low clouds. they bushed off pretty fast. -- burned off pretty fast. light southerly breeze last check. that's sending a lot of smoke upwards. if you have smoke, you can always tweet me. sp weather or send me information on facebook.

right now they are on the nevada side. 61 ukiah. 61 sacramento. 61 in tahoe. low clouds. it looks like they will max out because of a front coming in. a weak front. that's giving us patchy drizzle. no doubt about it westerly breeze. that will keep temperatures below average. fog, sun, breezy. low clouds have gone inland. they will burn back slowly. the 4th is looking like a little bit warmer inland. the fog will be the big bugaboo here. i think we'll be okay. i think we max out on the fog and it will be a lot less in the next few days. clearlake, 92. vallejo, 75. san rafael, 7 a. 70 oakland. 64 alameda. 79 san jose. sunnyvale, 78. santa cruz, too much fog same for the coast. 60s, 70s on the peninsula. it will be a cooler day today. we start a slow warmup as we head to the weekend. bogus charges on your cell phone bill.

parking management company to run city lots and charge for parking in neighborhood. there would be a three-hour parking limit at lots in the downtown area when events are held. 8:25. san francisco police have broken up an illegal fireworks operation just days before the 4th of july. undercover officers say 18-year- old eric yang was running the operation out of a cafe on grant street in chinatown. he had a 15-year-old boy retrieve the fireworks from the storage space. police say they confiscated about 100 illegal fireworks being sold for $10 apiece. >> we're talking about a destructive device, whether it's called an m 1000 or m-80. it's a small device. you could lose a hand or arm. it's very dangerous. >> prosecutors are charging the 18-year-old with felony possession of explosives as well as child endangerment. well, coming up a huge wildfire getting bigger by the minute. we'll go back out live to napa
