mountain view and redwood city. oakland airport is 32. danville, san ramon, antioch, 30s. low 40s in there as well. that's the east breeze at fairfield. it comes right back over the delta and concord showing a northwest. they had an east for a while. but that east breeze means the systems coming in have no chance. high pressure will keep the fog in the valley. that will play into our weather the next few days. starting off 30s, 40s. we'll end up with 50s and 60s on the highs. okay. mr. castanedo, we start in the south bay and had other issues in the east bay. now what? we're going back to the south bay. we'll start with 280 in san jose. i want to show you a picture of downtown san jose on 280 northbound as you drive through. you can see it's getting busier as you drive up to the highway 17 interchange. it continues to be that way, continues to be busy all the way into the west valley, not quite as bad as yesterday,

though, but it is bad. in fact, i want to show you some of the maps here of the south bay. you can see 280, the corresponding red, stop-and-go traffic that we saw. 85 and 101. yesterday it was worst. you are going to be in a lot of bumper-to-bumper traffic. we're looking at 580 which is slow. some earlier issues. 680 out of pleasanton heading south of the fremont area is slowing down. bay bridge toll plaza, you can see traffic is backed up. it's moderate. it's about a 15, 20-minute drive into san francisco. 7:03. back to the desk. >> all right. thank you, sal. crews have knocked down a three-alarm fire at an abandoned warehouse in downtown san jose. now comes the work to figure out the cause. janine de la vega is live at the scene with the dangers facing investigators and also some new information from fire

crews. good morning, janine. >> reporter: good morning, tori. it's a much calmer scene here now since the fire is out. a lot of the crews have left. but there's still a battalion chief as well as a pg&e crew because they turned all of the power off so it wouldn't be a hazard situation. they are still here. firefighters are worried about the structural integrity of this commercial warehouse. the roof did collapsance they are concerned -- collapse and they are concerned about a further collapse and they don't want firefighters to get injured. this fire started just before 4:00 a.m. at an abandoned warehouse near coleman and julian in downtown san jose. when firefighters pulled up to the scene, flames were shooting from the roof. there was a power pole on fire. soon after, a transformer exploded and then the roof collapsed. the fire quickly grew to three alarms. firefighters fought this from the outside because it was too dangerous to enter it. it took them an hour and ten minutes to knock it down. we were told that this building has been vacant for about 20 years. it is possible that homeless

people were squatting inside. >> the fact it was an interior fire, clearly something started it. you are talking about an abandoned warehouse that doesn't have power running to it. no one is doing any operation. that tends us to think that someone made access. we'll have to temperature whether it was accidental or what o-- we'll have to determine whether it was accidental or what occurred. >> reporter: this was a -- this is a picture that shows a rolling door that should have been shut. it's halfway up. that's a clue for firefighters that somebody may have been inside. homeless people told firefighters they saw two people running away from the building prior to the fire starting. a fire investigator will be out here later again to determine if it's even safe to go inside because, again, they are worried about how safe that structure is.

that he could afford. in an opt-ed piece in the new york times, the well-known, successful actor talks about graduating from skyline high school in oakland as an underachieving student with lousy s.a.t. scores. he applied but did not expect to get into a four-year college or university. he didn't. if he did, he had no idea how he would pay for it. hanks sent his final application to chabot community college in hey -- hayward and said the courses there are practical and they have rippled through his professional pond. he says "we could get our general education requirements out of the way a chabot, credits we could transfer to a university which made those two years an invaluable head start" a head start that president obama wants everyone to states. the president says if all states participate, 9 million students will benefit by getting two years for free, saving 4,000 in tuition per year.

the hope is that the program will also help bridge the skills ban in the -- gap. nearly 5 million jobs are open. analysts say that's because they are not enough applicants who have the right technical, and job ready skills to do the work that companies need. under the president's plan, states would provide a quarter of the funding. the rest would be covered by the federal government. >> thank you. 20 minutes before 9:00, a disturbing nationwide trend involving teenagers and over- the-counter drugs hits close to home. in 21 minutes, the incident that sent three bay area middle schoolers to the e.r. and how the school responded. but first, a terrorist group now claiming responsibility for that deadly shooting rampage at the charlie hebdo newspaper in france and how people in paris are rallying behind that controversial paper today. you just heard the news that the powell street station is clessed because of a person

'64 and '65 were enacted that made that possible that people could actually vote. what's important about this movie is the connection that dr. martin luther king makes, you know, to the unfolding of democracy, if you don't have a voice at the ballot, if you can't vote, you can't determine -- >> you want to raise enough money throughout the bay area so every kid get in there and see this movie. how do you want to raise that money? >> well, the money is being raised by many people from a broad spectrum. civic leaders, corporate leaders, people in the tech sectors. private philanthropists, individuals. so there is a coalition of the willing, a coalition of people that understand the particular importance and the great opportunity and so through charles bard, who is one of the leaders of yerba buena center for the arts, charles is
