they say 34 million americans will travel more than 50 miles or more this weekend. they also say that 86% of those travelers are planning on hitting the road for one last road trip before the summer ends or school begins. what makes this interesting, even though gas prices are averaging around 3 hoey 41 nationwide, 4.01 in san francisco, hotel rates are up 6% from last year, people want to get away. one person said he's planning on staying home this year. but he understands why people would want to leave. >> i think people have gotten out of the scary phase of why sop traveling and this and that -- stop traveling and this and that. if the gas is $4 a gallon, we still want to have fun and travel. it's another way to release stress, have fun. you can't keep yourself tied in. you have to get out and travel and live a normal life. >> reporter: now, aaa says there will be a 1% increase in air travel. they say airfares have risen 2%

with the average ticket costing around $219. that's up $5. aaa says with more people traveling, it's a good sign for the economy as more people are headed back to work. what's also interesting, aaa says while more americans are optimistic about their financial situation, they are more willing to take on debt. they are finding more people are willing to use credit cards instead of disposable income to fund their travel prance this -- plans this year. brian flores, ktvu channel 2 news. the long weekend has also become a holiday when retailers advertise big sales. 65% of consumers plan to go shopping during the long holiday weekend. that's up from last year. some of the especially good deals include major appliances, new clothes, somer clothing and patio furniture. the chp investigating a late-night motorcycle crash in

look good. if you are driving to the bay bridge toll plaza, it's been nice and light for you. no major problems coming through and traffic is moving okay. as we move into san francisco on the maps, you see all of the roadwork icons. i think we get the point. roadwork has closed highway 101 in san francisco from -- on this lane i day weekend. northbound 280 from 101 to king street until tuesday morning at 5:00. southbound 208 remains open. but northbound 101 nearby is very slow from candlestick as people are coming up on 101. 101 is getting a lot more work. 280 is backed up into daly city. so the closure is having an affect but i think after the morning commute it will probably get better. 7:49. let's go to steve. thank you, sal. interesting a pattern. we have a lot of low clouds. what was once category 5 hurricane marie, that was the strongest hurricane in the eastern pacific since 2010. it's falling apart but sending in a lot of cloud cover.

what? right there. sits really high-based but a few sprinkles maybe are possible. i would say mendocino county, lake county. the north bay will cloud up. there is there there is a lot of moisture streaming in. san francisco, oakland, concord north look to be mostly cloudy. that's the remains of it right there. it will continue to rotate and fall apart and send in some of those high and mid-level clouds. category 5 also gave the southern part of the state very significant waves. 60s on the temperatures. 61 sfo, 61 oakland. 61 walnut creek. livermore, 61. 59 half moon bay. 59 fairfield. about as even as you get. 58 fremont. 58 gilroy. 63 san jose state. the breeze is kind of the key here. not too much but it is westerly. sfo, hayward out to livermore. the key is the delta, san pablo day. delta, 21 gusts to 31 at

travis. if that holds, that's a screaming message of cooler weather inland. 61 ukiah. 62 in reno. the cloud cover starting to paint itself from reno back to the northern sacramento valley. lake county, mendocino county and now it looks like sonoma, marin and napa. there are a few returns. this is high-based stuff. but it's moving toward the north bay. they will cloud up. temperatures will cool down just by the mere fact it will be cloudy. could be a few sprinkles. north bard. fog, sun, clouds. drizzle. hit and miss. kind of misty here. the breeze is there. it's not for everybody. 60s, 7080s, 90s with the cloud cover, these might be high. i know what you are thinking. 88 in concord. 90s for some. 70s for others. alameda, 70. i want to thank joel. we had 81 in san jose. but on one panel we had 82. he said which one is it? 81.5 that's what we're going with in san jose. san bruno, 71.

81 in beautiful menlo park. we have a little cooler pattern. a lot of cloud cover over us today. it will be cooler and then a rebound on the inland temperatures on monday. >> thank you, steve. a volcano in iceland began erupting. no volcano ash has been detected but air traffic control did raise the aviation warning code to red. that means the airspace over the volcano from the ground autopsy the way -- all the way up to 18,000 feet is now closed. at this point, no air traffic has been affected. but a larger eruption could have a major effect on international travel. you might remember an eruption in ice land in 2010 shut down european airports for weeks. malaysia airlines cutting 30% of its current work force after suffering two passenger jet disasters within five months. malaysia airlines is laying off 6,000 workers because its jets are flying almost empty. the malaysian government which owns 69% of the airline.

if that holds, it will send cooler air all the way out to vacaville. there is a westerly company -- component. get the darker green, maybe, cape mendocino north, ukiah north. lake county as well. so look for a partly cloudy to the north. mostly sunny, partly sunny south. highs today, 80s for some inland. 60s, 70s, coast and bay. here's sal. the problem in traffic this morning is 101 in san francisco and that's out of south city. we have a pretty big backup getting into the city. this is partially due to the 280 closure and some earlier problems but the slow traffic all the way up to the city and even continuing onto 101 and 280 is slow from nearly highway 1 in daly city and the closure is causing people to avoid -- well, you have to avoid 280 between 101 and king because it's closed until tuesday at

5:00. and that's putting more pressure on 101. it's putting more pressure on city roads. give yourself extra time if that's your commute. you may want to think about -- well, i don't know. using some side roads or going a long way around. bay bridge is a good way to get into san francisco right now if you are coming in from the east bay. it's light coming in through the city. no major problems there. also looking at 880 in oakland. getting a little bit of crowding past the coliseum heading north. back to the desk. we're beginning with continuing coverage of the napa earthquake. building inspectors say napa's historic downtown courthouse was badly damaged in sunday's quake. it may be closed for the next two years and the price tag for repairs may be as much as $20 million. although the cases are normally handled here, they've been transferred to the modern napa county courthouse. some business owners in napa are pretty upset because their

buildings are now red tagged even though their buildings are structurally sound. ktvu's tara moriarty joining us live from downtown napa, where one unsafe building is putting some of the others out of business. good morning, tara. >> reporter: good morning. we're actually standing right next to the courthouse that you are just mentioning. across the street is where the problem is that we're talking about. we did see some construction crews arrive a short time ago. we know that contractors and engineers are gonna be out here sometime this morning to strengthen damaged buildings like this one on brown street. this was never reinforced before the earthquake. you can really see the damage there. there are buildings like them all over the bay area, on a list waiting to be retrofitted. but sometimes the quake hits first. the problem is the city is concerned that the brown street buildings that are retrofitted,

some retained no damage but were red tagged and they are retrofitted. one building did not. >> the idea spending a lot of money on that when it's not necessary doesn't make a lot of sense to me. my buildings have been through earthquakes. they are over 100 years old. >> pretty much everyone on this block has been retrofitted and have spent a significant amount of money so when somebody drags their feet, maybe needs to put the screws on harder maybe that lesson is here for us to see. right behind us. >> reporter: now, silver believes the city is overreacting. he has plans to expand and do the retrofit then. he says that if the timetable that the city agreed to, he said he's being capped as the bad guy. businesses want to open on this lieu krative weekend -- lucrative weekend. now the goal will be to get

we have a mess on our hands in san francisco because of the closures on 280. partially because of the closure, i should say. 280 is closed from 101 to king street in the northbound direction and northbound 101 traffic coming into the city is just forced to stay on 101. that's very slow this morning we had an earlier accident in the area. 280 coming from daly city as i trace the line here.

it's backed up from daly city highway 1. people cannot continue on northbound 280, they are all merging to get on 101. and that itself is creating a mess as you might expect. again, give yourself plenty of time if you are trying to use 101 or 280 to get into san francisco. 8:13. back to the desk. we are learning more details about the death of a woman at this year's burning man festival. this is a picture from facebook of the 29-year-old. she's from jackson, wyoming. authorities say she fell beneath a moving bus early yesterday morning. more than 70,000 people at this year's burning man festival. it ends monday. a san diego man is accused of intentionally spreading h.i.v. a former boyfriend says 29-year- old thomas lied about his hiv status and had unprotected sex

on the planes because she likes to fly. she says she's trying to make a point. >> my question is why has the government allowed me to get past security points? why is the government allowing that to happen portraying me as a potentially threat to security as opposed to addressing another issue. >> now, 62-year-old marilyn hartman gave a tearful interview saying she's homeless. she sufficients from what she calls whistle-blower trauma syndrome. she's accused of trying to sneak onto several planes without a ticket in the bay area. she was arrested at a phoenix airport earlier this week. she says her last psychological evaluation was a year ago. the jail says they can recommend psychological evaluations but they can't demand one without a court order. a bay area man accused in one of the biggest cases of odometer fraud in the state has pled not guilty. he made his first court appearance in martinez yesterday.

they have received letters identifying them as repeat offenders and they've been warned of severe criminal penalties if caught driving. 8:17. sal, unfortunately, handling a big mess. looking at it. >> we had an earlier crash on northbound 101, pam and dave. silver avenue but the traffic was already busy and it's already busy because of the construction closure on 280 from 101 to king street. i can go to the maps first and show you that 101 is backed up into south san francisco and 280 is backed up from highway 1, 19th avenue, daly city. all of that stretch from daly city to the maze is slow and 101 is slow north of san bruno in south city trying to get in san francisco. it makes sense. people are not allowed to use 280 northbound and they have to be on 101 and that's just causing a big traffic jam. the earlier accident didn't

happen at all. some people are using city roads. some of those are crowded. my suggestion for you is to give yourself extra time and evaluate whether you need to right now or today at all. it should be light for the holiday weekend. you can see we do have holiday light conditions here getting into san francisco. and this morning on 280 -- i'm sorry, on 880 northbound, a little bit of slowing here past the coliseum near 66 right there. slows up to about 23rd. let's go to steve. a lot of clouds coming over us. we're used to tropical clouds. we've had them since july 4th. had a break for a couple of weeks. they are back. this is marie. what's left of marie. it was a category 5 hurricane. strongest in the eastern pacific in 2010. it's falling apart and sending in a lot of cloud. i think we'll go mostly cloudy. that's all cloud deck. some returns on radar. they are way up there. i doubt anything happens. if it does, it would be north.

sprinkles probably at best. but the cloud cover goes all the way up to the sierra nevada and reports a partly to mostly cloudy sky in tahoe, reno and truckee. that's the system. that's all that's left of it. you can see the moisture. look for that to continue for at least another day or two. 50s, 60s on the temperatures. if enough cloud cover comes in, my forecasted highs probably won't make it. i'm just telling you. it's hard to get the cloud deck and stabilize the temperatures. so the south bay may be in line. it's the north bay that i fink is iffy. 63 in san ramon. 62 in la fayette. a lot of 60s here. temperatures are holding steady because of the breeze. fairfield, 0. there is more of a westerly component to the breeze, more so than we saw yesterday. 50 in tahoe. then 60. reno is in there. 55 in eureka. chico. back over to clearlake and then ukiah and then offshore there's even more. some of these might have a few

sprinkles. i think it's more show than go. it will cloud us up. we'll keep a lot of cloud cover to the north. more sun to the south. fog, sun, clouds. a little mist around. most reports have tailed off. but cloudy to the north bay. 60s, 70s, 80s to 90s. the 95 at clearlake is probably in jeopardy. we'll stick with it for now. the higher clouds will have humidity inland. 70s, 8 o 90s through the east bay. south bay, a little bit more sunshine. 80s, upper os to near 90 on the coast dealing with low clouds. water terps still warm. 60s, 70s on the peninsula. a little cooler into saturday. the higher clouds should move south and then into sunday and then a little rebound on the temperatures on monday. a britney spears fan who recently came out who is gay received a letter of support from the singer. this is britney spears and her superfan at a planet hollywood performance in las vegas. he said when he met britney, he gave her a letter describing

good morning. developing news, san francisco. northbound 101 and 280 are very slow getting into the city because -- partially because of the 280 closure between 101 and king street in the northbound direction. this closure will be in effect all weekend long through the labor day weekend. this morning's commute is not doing well as a result. 280 backed up to daly city. 101 northbound backed up into south san francisco and some alternates are crowded. we have a crew on way to show you some of this backup. we'll have that coming up very soon. >> all right, sal. 8:25. the nfl now has tough, new penalty for players involved in

domestic violence. first-time offenders, suspended for six games. repeat offenders may be banned for life. the tough penalties follow the criticism of the two-game suspension for ray rice of the baltimore ravens. he was involved in a domestic violence case earlier this year. >> putting his hands on a woman, he needs to go sit down and think about that. ain't nothing about that right. >> i got my grandson up here. they are looking for role models. i think when players do those kinds of things it sends the wrong message. >> ktvu got those reactions during the raiders' game at the coliseum. the new policy takes effect immediately. >> oakland raiders' rookie quarterback derrick karr made a case for a starter a week from sunday. he completed 11 of 13 passes for 143 yards and three touchdowns including that one. the raiders beat the seahawks, 41-31. now, matt schaub didn't play.
