that was the low from yesterday. the tropical clouds are flying out. but still thunderstorm potential up in the mountains or northern california but another system digging in equals a cooler pattern. maybe local drizzle. but 60 to start in san jose under mostly clear skies there. 70 to 78. temperatures along the coast and bay will be near average. inland they will be below. 50s and 60s. 61 in half moon bay. 61 walnut creek. 60 in santa rosa. 60 in san jose. everyone is in the same ballpark. the cooler air aloft helped by the low being pushed inland is gonna make an impact for the surface temperatures. 54 la honda. delta breeze, not too shabby. 14 to gusts to 24. westerly breeze concord, westerly breeze oakland. it's the south wind on the coast from this system, actually the front coming in. it's weak. it will push in a few high clouds to the north. fog, sun, cooler from sonoma

county northward. 70s, very low 80s. 60s and 70s coast and bay. here's sal. right now we're doing well in some area, not so well in areas. the toll plaza is very crowded. about a 30-minute drive into san francisco, with no major problems on the bridge itself. you will see some waiting at the toll plaza where most of the waiting will go on. on interstate 880, the traffic here looks pretty good at the coliseum. if you are trying to catch a flight at oakland airport, southbound 80 looks good. 580 westbound slowing coming into the valley here from the tracy triangle and the altamont pass. it does get better after you get out of livermore. if you are getting on the freeway in dublin and pleasanton, it's not that bad on the way to castro valley. back to the desk. >> all right, thank you, sal. it's a rather somber morning for us at ktvu and i think for many, many people. people are remembering and reacting to the news that actor and comedian robin williams has

died. he was just 63 years ode and died way too soon. >> doesn't seem real. the news came late afternoon, it was stunning, to say the least. the marin county sheriff's office announcing that robin williams had committed suicide. he had the personality, as you know, bigger than life. since getting his big break in mork and mindy, he became a star and had millions of fans. despite his hollywood fame, he called the bay area home. >> during his career he acted and provided the voice for characters in at least 73 movies. many people say he was most brilliant on stage as a standup comic. even after making it big, he would drop in for a surprise performance at comedy clubs in the bay area. >> we have team coverage in marin county and also in san francisco. we're gonna start with tara moriarty. she's outside of the tiburon home of robin williams. that's where he was found unconscious by sheriff's deputies and i know the memorial is growing out there.

>> reporter: yeah, there is a small pile of flowers, candles and cards in front of robin williams's gate. we haven't seen a lot of foot traffic here this morning. that's because this is a pretty private area. we imagine fans will be leaving condolences at the home. you can see this street is filled with media from all over the united states. it's a very sad time when you think of how much joy robin williams brought to people worldwide. he was last seen alive at 10:00 sunday night at his home near tiburon. sheriff's deputies found him monday morning unconscious and unbreathing after a 911 call. he was pronounced dead around noon. the coroner's office division suspects his death to be a suicide due to asphyxia. and sources say he hung himself. over the years, he battled substance abuse. his agents said he suffered from depression. it's a picture of a man difficult to take in, especially neighbors who saw him routinely. >> he was such a sweet man and such a talent.

we loved him as an actor but as a person, he was such a great neighbor. he looked like he was happy. he was content. you know, we didn't see the other side of him that might have been depressed. >> reporter: williams was raised in michigan but moved to woodacre in marin when a taker. he went to redwood high and the college of marin. he rose from small comedy clubs in san francisco to become a worldwide sensation in film and television. his last post online was a message to daughter nelda in honor-birthday and overnight -- in honor of her birthday and overnight she said, you alone will have the stars in no one has them. in one of the stars i shall be living. one of them i that -- i shall be

living. the sheriff's office released more information about his death because of his public status. it will hold a press conference at 11:00 this morning. i'm tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. robin williams used his fame 0 help the causes he really believed in. that included hollywood fund- raisers at glide memorial church. but cecil williams says one time the church was able to turn the tables on williams. the church choir surprised robin by singing just for him. >> he was just crying. he cried. he was so touched because we sang to him. >> see sill williams called -- cecil companies called him an original. he also entertained active military troops.

he traveled to afghanistan, iraq and qat and performed in shows for american soldiers in war zones. the uso posted a message saying he will always be part of our uso family and will be sorely missed. he appeared a number of times on ktvu "mornings on 2." every time his appearance was both unpredictable and delightful. coming up at 7:15, we'll show you one of the many memorable moments as he ad-libbed his own stories with our own ross mcgowan. you will find a photo gallery at ktvu.com. a man who is recovering in the hospital after being shot yesterday in san leandro outside of a mall. police say the shots were fired after two men argued at a shoe store at bayfair mall and then the fight spilled into the parking lot. the man was shot in the leg. he was pushed to the hospital. he is expected to survive.

of the peninsula. the santa clara valley and there is a westerly breeze for some. combination of the two means it's cool for a few. it's also very mild for others. the tropical clouds associated with the low that we have -- i will get out of the way so you can see it -- right there -- yesterday, gets kicked along by that system. that takes the tropical move out of the picture unless you are up in the sierra. things have been lighting up. looks calmer. there's another low dropping in. this one will carve itself out over northern california. just a strange pattern here for august. but i guess it's our turn to be on the cool side. don't expect any rain out of this unless you are in humboldt kowng. higher clouds move into northern sonoma and mendocino county. a little change in the pattern. yesterday looks to be the warmest day of the week. santa rosa was 83. that's exactly where they should be. today, 74. concord, 88. 79. livermore hit 90. 81 today. morgan hill, 93.

then turns west or northwest, south on parts of the coast. then turns west. if you have the westerly breeze, you might be on the cooler side. south wind is not too bad. the system moving into the north and kicking the low we had off the coast and that potential for tropical clouds. once that accelerates, you can see how it's taking that cloud cover. you might have thundershowers up north. actually have a front coming in. i know, in august. it will track to the north. but out ahead of that there is a south breeze. could bring in more than partly cloudies up to the north. 50s and 60s. santa rosa, 60. san jose, 60. fairfield, 61. half moon bay 61. we're circling the wagons here with 60s. a little cooler pattern aloft as the low moved inland that ushers in cooler air and that makes it down to the surface eventually but angin is cool.
