a northeast breeze, and that took care of the fog, and it's sunshine! the temperatures yesterday, upper 60s and today, low 70s. these are above average. 53 at sfo, and 53, hayward, so it's not taking long to warm up. this looks like it's going to flex its muscle and be with us here. so sunshine and warm taking us through the day today and also into the weekend, no sign of rain through the weekend. so 30s and 40s and a lot of 70s on the high side, and temperatures for most are near 70 or even near 73 or 74. brian, the san mateo bridge? yes. the north bay, a live

look at the camera here, 101, san rafael, heavy traffic and that extends from highway 37, pretty solid 101 southbound on san rafael. taking a look at san mateo bridge, a solid backup continues coming off the nimitz freeway, very busy, approaching the high rise in foster city. drive time from hayward into san mateo, 45 minutes, on average. the bay bridge toll plaza, this is where you would normally see clearing here but there's an accident to tell you about off the grand avenue off ramp and that's affecting traffic this morning there on the bay bridge, and it started there about 10 minutes ago, and that's going to be a scene for at least a few minutes there, back to you. protesters have shut down entrances to the uc santa cruz

campus this morning to express their anger over potential tuition increases. we are live in santa cruz with the protesters, alex, how are things going? >> reporter: good morning to you, tori. these are generally peaceful. protesters have disrupted what would have been a normal school day here at the uc santa cruz campus and they've done that by blocking both of the main entrances to the campus. this is the west entrance where we are where you can see roughly 100 people are standing in the intersection and not allowing any cars to pass through here for the most part. there's been a few exceptions. we'll show you video here. the protesters were actually part and allow cars to pass through. most of the time they're allowing certain employees and faculty members to pass through the line, and they're allowing employees at the university health center to come through. we talked with one nurse a

short time ago and she says she supports the protests against a planned tuition hike. >> i think it's terrible. you can look online and see how much everybody who works here makes and you can see the top tier people make ridiculous sums compared to the low-tiered people and students pay fees and hikes and they're the ones that suffer. >> all week long students have been pushing back against the plant to raise tuition. there's been marches and protests at the universities throughout the system, being called "96 hours of action" and there's quite a bit of anger and frustration, stemming from a plan by the uc president to increase tuition if they don't get an increase in state funding of the one protest organizer talked with us about

the tactics being used today. >> by doing a strike, what students are saying is we're not going to put up with this anymore and we're going to disrupt business as issue because we have seen normal measures that people would normally go through, they have not worked, things like lobbies the legislature. >> reporter: we have not seen much in the way of a police presence through most of the morning but that has changed this the last few minutes. this is just down the street from intersection being blocked by protesters and you can see a number of police officers and law enforcement officers on stand by. they are keeping an eye on the situation, i guess you could say, but they're not getting close to the protest here at this intersection where about 100 or so protesters are blocking that intersection. tori, this was supposed to be and is said to be a day of action but organizers are not talking specifics about what other actions may be happening

throughout the day. >> we'll follow that story and keep everybody posted on what actually does happen. it's 8:05. 6uc santa cruz students, including two from the bay area, were arrested after a demonstration on tuesday that blocked highways 1 and 17 for more than four hours. police had to use jack hammers to free the students from the concrete and metal pipes they linked themselves together with. four students are due in court today. the university has suspended all six students for 14 days. more than 3,000 people have signed an online petition calling for the university to expel the students who participate in and plan unlawful protests. a big increase in the number of burglaries in some south bay cities has the police out there holding neighborhood meetings. the los altos police chief apologized at a meeting he led last night.

we are live in los altos. you just spoke to the police. what are they saying? >> reporter: that sergeant told me these thieves are getting in by going through unlocked doors and windows, and sometimes they're smashing the windows or going through an unlocked side gate. there's a home here in this neighborhood that just got hit on tuesday. police posted this photo on twitter showing all the people who turned out at a community meeting he held last night. he's holding another one to get the worth out about the increasing number of home burglaries, going up 49% from 2013 to '14, and take a look at this map that shows january to march of this year, there's been nearly 40 burglaries. they are happening during the evening hours rather than the day and police say that the thievings are hitting mountain view and sunnyvale. >> i think they will go for where the money is and

unfortunately we're in an affluent community and it's disappointing but it goes with the times. >> reporter: police say the thieves are going after cash and jewelry rather an electronics because they're harder to trace and they want residents to be vigilant and report suspicious activity. they need help from the community to catch the criminals. this meeting will be at 6:30 tonight. i asked the police sergeant, is there just one person or one crew that is committing all these burglaries, and he said, no, they believe that it is several people operating, and they are following up on leads, but so far, dave, no arrests in any of the break-ins this year. >> thank you very much. the time is 8:08. police in vallejo have made several arrests in connection with three homicides. the deadly shootings occurred between november of last year and january of this year. the 19-year-old cortez

week and killed him. a ban on high capacity ammunition for guns will stay in place in sunnyvale, at least for the time being. a federal appeals court upheld the ordinance that bans gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds. the ordinance was approved by voters in 2013. the national rifle association is among those opposing the ban, saying it infringes on the rights of gun owners to protect themselves and their owns. opponents can ask the ninth circuit to rehear the case with a full panel of judges or they can take the issue right to the u.s. supreme court. the time is is a 10:00. new this morning, now we're hearing from you, the public, about the big announcement that ringling brothers and barnum and bailey circus will end the use of elephants. >> it's a sign of the end of
