"mornings on 2" starts now. good morning. thank you for joining us. we're live at ocean beach in san francisco where the coast guard is dealing with a mystery this morning. here's a live picture of a boat out in the surf. someone reported that they were abandoning ship. that led to the discovery of this sinking fishing boat. it's now stuck in the surf, again, out at ocean beach. brian flores out there as well. coming up in two minutes. he's gonna tell us why the boat could be creating a hazard out there. again, thanks for joining us. i'm pam cook in for tori campbell. >> welcome back from vacation. >> you . >> thank you. the high clouds continue to rotate in coming off the

sierra. southern california had pockets of rain yesterday. in the sierra, they could see an inch of rain out of this. the key is the low swinging up here. we'll see where it ends up. if it ends up in northern california, we'll get the cloud cover. i think tomorrow is a better bet for rain. 50s and 60s on the temperatures. humidity factor will be high because of the nature of the clouds. they are coming up from the south. right now, almost all of the rain is diving towards san joaquin valley. it's close for us. there's some reports of drizzle. we have the two cloud decks to deal with. we have mostly sunny skies. kind of muggy. light rain is possible. 70s, 80s for some. 60s for others. here's sal -- tara. excuse me. >> thank you, steve. we have major delays in richmond. 80 westbound near the san pablo dam offramp, there was a big rig in the number three lane. that slowed things down all the way to hercules. then we just had a car verses a

motorcycle crash. there were 80 connects to highway 4. that's not happening. traffic is still backed up at the bay bridge toll plaza. the metering lights went up about 20 minutes to a half-hour early. that means that traffic will end earlier as well. in san jose, 280 at the 880 split, sluggish as you make the drive towards santa clara. back to the desk. >> tara, thank you. we're following developing news on ocean beach. rescue crews searching for someone missing from a disabled boat. that boat is beached on the surf. brian flores right there in san francisco. so what's the latest. what's going on? >> reporter: hi dave, good morning. we're learning more information. good morning to you. we're about half a mile from the cliffhouse. the name of the fishing boat is the poloma. we understand it's based out of santa cruz. this morning crews are looking for what is believed to be the

ship's cast captain -- the ship's captain, timothy lighten. the person on board, the captain, witnesses say that person may have abandoned ship. want to take a look at the fishing boat. it's 40, 50 yards from the shore line. it remains how the boat got in trouble. we understand there is debris washing on shore. in fact, a lot of debris. fire crews got a call from the coast guard of a boat taking on water. they came to asset. when the fire -- they came to assist. when the fire department came in, the call came in from another boater relaying the message from the fishing boat. witnesses say at least one person, which is believed to be the captain, abandoned ship, perhaps tried swimming to shore. that search continues for that person and anyone else on board. several fire crews were here including a coast guard helicopter. >> i'm sure it's pretty cold out there. i don't know what the

temperature is. i just know it was a little difficult for us to get to it because it's in the surf. it's pounding onto the small vessel. and it makes it dangerous for us to actually board it. we'll know more when it gets light. >> reporter: since it is lighter now, there is a lot more you can see, including the debris, as well as the ship that has run aground. i do want to take it back out  live now. as you can see, some people are standing ashore there. but the concern is that the smell of the diesel fuel that is spilling from the ship this morning, it's unclear how much of that diesel has spilled. when i was walking over there this morning, the smell of the fuel was very strong. people are being told to stay away from the area because of that smell. again, the ship's name is the poloma. crews are looking for the captain. his name is timothy liebrandt. he's believed to have jumped

from the boat into the water and that search continues. brian flores, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right, brian. a fire station in the eastern contra costa county fire district may be closed even as the peak of the fire season is starting. fire chief hugh henderson said it should be closed temporarily starting september 1st. the fire district is supposed to have 48 firefighters but right now they are working with just 35. he says that's not enough to keep all five fire stations open even with mandatory overtime. in november, voters will be asked to approve more money for the fire district. closing arguments are due to start this morning in the trial concord teacher accused of molesting 14 former students. the lawyer for joseph martin told ktvu that 34 of the 150 counts have been dropped. the former woodside elementary schoolteacher claims the physical contact he had with male students was not sexual. a public bathroom in a san

neighborhood report spillover. >> i just kind of liked at him like, all right. i'm not gonna be confrontational. like i said, there's a lot of kinks that need to be worked out. >> reporter: there were issues that concerned inside the stadium. son some concession -- some concession stands ran out of hot dogs and other items. fans had to check bags were forced to wait in long lines to retrieve those backs that were too big to carry in. they definitely want the fans to have an enjoyable experience when the 49ers have their home opener. reporting live from santa clara, janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. 7:09. one person is dead. several others are missing after flash floods caused big mudslides in los angeles county. it started yesterday when a

thunderstorm in the san bernardino mountains caused a local creek to overflow. look at the pictures here. several roads were shut down, completely covered in mud. thousands of people in forest falls including 500 children and adults at a church camp, they are stranded by those closed roads. the san bernardino fire department says the flooding threatened homes near the creek. people living nearby were not forced to evacuate. >> we got dozers in place, front-end loaders working to try to clear the debris that's on the road. when we do that, we'll be able to make better access and get a better assessment of what's going on. >> the person who died, that person was found in the car swept into the creek. several other people had to be rescued by an l.a. county sheriff's aerial rescue team. firefighters expect to be back working in that area for the next three maybe four days.

a flood warning was issued in tuolumne county after a crack was found in the twain hart dam. engineers are expecting the dam and twain hart was closed. crews expect it will take two days for the water level to trop below where there are leaks. the twain hart it board does not believe there was tampering. letters will go out in marin county about how much water is being used during the drought. a pilot program will send letters to show different icons ranking their water use. of the 185,000 customers in the marin water district, about 12,000 are participating in the new program. all right, pam. very intense flames surrounded by water. why firefighters had such a hard time fighting a fire on a

prisoners and the district attorney may add two more years on top of scott's 50-year to life sentence. the sacramento county sheriff's department is admitting using technology that collects information from cell phones. police are only looking at the cell phones of people they are investigating, according to the sacramento bee. but in some cases they are doing so without a court order. critics say the focus is not specific and that the technology can collect information from unrelated cell phones close to the person being investigated. >> might want to think twice about sharing your flash drive with someone else. research shows the usb can be used to infect your computer or steal your information. one example is allowing someone to charge their smartphone on your exrur which can lead to your exrur -- your computer

worse. give yourself an extra 20 minutes to get into the city. we're still experiencing major delays in richmond to hercules along the east shore. this is a shot in berkeley but further up the freeway, 80 westbound, there was a big rig blocking a lane and then we also had a crash at the highway 4 split. so the backup continues. it's 7:18. let's check in with my man, steve. >> thank you, tara. thank you. very good morning. we have mostly cloudy skies here. low clouds, fog, drizzle and some higher tropical clouds. rain is very close. it's up in the sierra or points south. san joaquin valley. best -- best looks to me tomorrow morning. we had a few sprinkles. looks like everything is diving toward the san joaquin valley. high clouds, warm temperatures. temperatures have come down but the humidity will be very high. drizzle or light rain this morning. we've had some drizzle on the san mateo coast also sausalito but tomorrow, the low,

from hilo. hurricane izell, category 4. there's also a tropical storm behind that. the path takes it to the hawaiian islands. we have a long way to go. but the cone is favoring a track towards the island. have a few days to fine tune it but things are getting very active, not only in the western pacific but finally eastern as well. now, cloud cover over us, associated with tropical moisture which did some pretty good rain in southern california and las vegas yesterday. for us, we had the low clouds, the drizzle and it's going to -- even though the temperatures are coming down, the humidity factor is very high. the key isn't where the low goes. projections take it all over the place, up to the sierra. it's probably going to stay north of us. but over the sierra, 1.50, 2 inches of rain possible between now and and tuesday night into wednesday. the wrap-around effect for lake county, mendocino county, would be late tonight into tomorrow. i think that's the best opportunity. today, a lot of cloud cover.

right now this is a category 4. it has a lot of energy but it's expected to weaken as it moves north. we'll track that this week for sure. low cloud deck, there's plenty there. doesn't matter. weak low is carrying a lot of moisture. there will be rain in the valley. there will be a lot of rain in the sierra. the low will be responsible for an inch and a half, two inches up in the sierra nevada. low and high clouds. still muggy even though if any sunbreaks. temperatures will come down. the moisture concontent is -- the moisture content is huge. the trend is to keep lifting this north. if it backtracks, that would be the best opportunity for rain. definitely in the sierra, northern sacramento valley, san joaquin today. there could be a lot of moisture up on the sierra. 1.50, 2 inches. watch in the last few frames. tuesday morning, some of that

wraps back into lake county, mendocino county. it will be close. i think tomorrow will be a better opportunity. today is more show than going. we've had a few sprinkles in the sierra to wedz. there's plenty in there now. these could be big rainers which will take, the low there is moving up. it's too far east for now. but again, it could just drift a little bit to the west. that would put us in line. 60s on the temperatures or 50s. inland temperatures have come down. higher elevations have company down-- have come down a lot. 59 tahoe, 61 sacramento. 58 ukiah. 59 monterey. of is close. monterey and lake tahoe, the same temperature. see some of that moisture kind of over to the valley. it's not here yet but there is a lot of cloud cover. and that could be a little bit of rain. there's plenty coming off the sierra. so this bears watching for later in the day. a lot of clouds, cooler, some

rates. but others say it's a mistake to depend on electronics for a gun to fire in an emergency. a state senate committee is due to consider a bill today that would allow family members, licensed therapists and healthcare providers to take weapons away from at-risk gun owners. the bill was prompted by the shooting and stabbing rampage in isla vista back in may, where six students were killed. the suspect took his own life. his family had expressed concerns about his mental health before that dead lie rampage. if the bill is becaused, it would be the first of its kind in the nation. this a special week for a group of young burn survivors from northern and central california. the group gathered in sacramento and boarded buses for a camp at lake tahoe yesterday. the week-long program for kids between 6 and 17 years old is free of charge. campers have a chance to let down their guard and talk with others who are going through some of the same challenges they are. >> having fun. you know, like getting away

my dad took across the ferry. it brings back a lot of memories. >> reporter: fire investigators will be back to figure out exactly how this fire started and gather evidence at the scene. but again, the fire marshal does believe this fire was human caused. it's unclear if it was an accident. the pier remains closed for the time being and -- at least that portion of the pier will remain closed for the film being. that's because the structural integrity of the pier itself was compromised by this fire. we're live this morning in martinez, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. a vegetation fire in newark is out now. this was reported about 7:45 last night on eureka drive near stevenson boulevard. it was contained about 45 minutes later. no homes are threatened. no injuries reported. about four acres burned. a police chase in vallejo has ended with a man rushed to the hospital. officers stay the man was driving a stolen vehicle last night when he crashed into four
