coast. san francisco i doubt this does much here. but to the north a better opportunity. so lake county into mendocino county and northern sonoma county. it's mainly more show than go. the 57 on saturday tied the 57 set in 1878. my goodness. and the water temps are incredibly warm again. 58 in monterey. so you add the cloud cover. no wonder the lows on the coast are mild. it will be a cloudy to mostly cloudy day and any rain will be to the north. light rain to the north. cloudy 60nd and 70 pz. still temps for many. all right sal we have a big issue here. >> we have a crash reported.

as many as ten cars. we've had numerous reports as to where it is. this is near the 680 interchange. this is heading south. there is probably nothing right here. it leads you to believe the crash is a little bit farther down the road. southbound 680. we are going to take a look at that and see what we have for you there. we are also looking at a crash near southbound 880. traffic is going to be a little bit busy as you drive from pinole, head to the richmond area. give yourself extra time. if you are in the south bay at the bay bridge on northbound 280 getting up to highway 17 try to listen to this scanner and talk at the the same time, it's hard. at the bay bridge it is backed up be for a 15-20 minute wait.

6:02 let's go back to the desk. topping our news out of vallejo. police are searching for clues after investigators say woman young men were targeted in a deadly over shooting. >> investigators say these two men both in their 20s were targeted here in this early morning shooting. they were sitting inside of this silver pontiac that is still parked here across the street. at least a dozen shots were fired out here. officers showed up and found these two young men sitting inside. both with gunshot wounds. both men were take ton the hospital.

officers immediately searching for victims and found this car with the two wounded men inside of it. police came out and talked with neighbors and gathered physical evidence as well. investigators say they don't have a whole lot to go on at this point. they are not sure -- but what investigators are saying is that they clearly were targeted. this was not a random crime of any kind. >> a lot of unkansassed questions. the investigation into a deadly shooting involving four police officers in napa continues his morning. investigators say 41-year-old james richard was shot on friday as police officers prepared to serve a search warrant for drugs at his home.

that same day a richmond woman made a horrifying discovery in a trash can along panama street. she found a coach purse belonging to kaur with a wallet and id inside. also in that trash can a bag of bloody clothes. and that time homeowner elizabeth duke called albany and richmond police. >> i think someone knew a lot. they knew my situation. they might have known about the garbage situation. as it progressed, it got more and more scary. >> reporter: four hours later, the items became evidence in her murder case. it's possible the bloody clothing belonged to kaur's killer since she was found fully clothed. kaur attended a prayer service and planned to spend sunday evening studying. she was shot once in the head

inside her apartment along canes avenue. police are asking the public to come forward with any additional leads since they have made no arrests so far. ucsf will hold a vigil tonight in honor of kaur. an excentric real estate heir has been arrested. 71-year-old robert durst was arrested yesterday in new orleans. his lawyer says he will not fight extradition to los angeles on charges that he killed susan burr man 15 years ago. burrman was found shot to death when she was about to be questioned about the

more cracks have been found in steel rods on the new eastern span of the bay bridge. the san francisco chronicle reports the cracks are found at the top and the bottom of a rod that secures the base of the main tower. the chronicle says such cracks can get worse over time. it can lead to total figure during a big earthquake. but money is an issue. cal tran officials are looking to cut costs elsewhere. but first cinderella did it. number one at the box office. the preview before the main attraction that probably boosted those numbers. >> good morning. we have a testy east bay commute. we already have the typical

backup at the bay bridge toll plaza which is backed up to the maze. we have a new sig alert in the east bay that just came up. >> after a record setting weekend and i mean smashing weekend for san jose and many areas, the cloud cover has come in and cooled us off a little bit. the volkswagen jetta is really fun-to-drive. go for it. okay. wow... woohoo! i'm dreaming... pinch me. no, not while you're driving. and, right now, you can get a one-thousand-dollar volkswagen credit bonus on jetta models. seriously, pinch me. it's not a dream. ow! it's the volkswagen stop dreaming, start driving event. stop dreaming, and test-drive one today. hurry in and you can get 0% apr plus a $1000 volkswagen credit bonus on 2015 jetta and passat models.
