west-southwest fairfield. a due west from sfo. hayward to livermore and north beach northwest at 20 miles an hour. that's brought some of the fog in here even though the higher clouds are clearing out. there will be a few clouds breaking through. mostly sunny. maybe partly partly sunny at times. clouds and sun. nice to mild. not as humid as yesterday. maybe a little bit in the morning. but more of a westerly breeze. 60s and 70s on your temps and most of these are very close. a little cooler maybe by the coast due fact there get the -- da to the fact we get the -- due to the fact we get the west wind. a little bit more cloudiness for a while in the morning for the south bay. mid-70s. the humidity factor might hold on but wet better this -- but better this afternoon. these are still a little bit above average.

collisions. and 5le 80 is -- 508 is slow. you can see a live look here. that's moderate about a 15, 20- minute delay. 7:32. back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. a business dispute involving a name valley winemaker is now the focus of a murder-suicide investigation. an invest -- an investors was kill and the winery owner is the suspected killer. alex savidge is there and has information on what could have led robert dahl to snap. >> reporter: i spoke a short time ago to a local writer who covers the wine industry in the area and he told me he's met the suspected shooter and he said this man was on the brink of losing his business and in all likelihood just snapped yesterday. according to a number of reports, robert call shot and killed his former investor before taking his own life. that drama played out yesterday

what does it mean for the team moving forward but it's a talker this morning. i have a copy of the san francisco chronicle sporting green edition where the headline reads won and one, borland walks away. patrick willis announced his retirement last week because of a neck and foot injury but borland said he was ending his career because of concerns over head trauma. he said, from what i've researched and experienced, i don't think it's worth the risk. he reportedly had two diagnosed growing up, once when he was playing soccer in the 8th grade. another one while playing at a sophomore in high school. he also said he has no intention of returning to football. this was about miss long-term health, citing health problems, even deaths of other players. he says he will concentrate on going back to school to study

sports management. what does this mean for other players? >> i have five sons. all varying in ages from 29 down to twins that are 15. they have played football. the twins have not played football as of yet because actually a head injury is a concern. i -- you know, i think it's unfortunate he's retiring but i understand. >> in the meantime, 49ers' gm trent baalke released a statement saying in part, while it's unexpected we certainly respect chris's decision. from speaking with chris, it was evident he put a great deal of thought in the decision. borland also says the retirement of patrick willis had nothing to do with his decision. he's the first out of the four to announce his retirement based on health concerns. certainly a talker. >> back to you.

according to the website, the two men were locked in a dispute over a $1.2 million loan. the victim of yesterday's shooting filed a lawsuit against dahl accusing him of accepting a loan for a defunct wine company. dahl had been ordered to repay the company which likely would have cost him his business. the two men met up yesterday to settle the dispute but it ended in violence. a local wine industry ride who met dahl on several low ocakes -- several occasions talked to me about his demeanor. >> he was very charming. he had the right demeanor but he had this quirk that if you said something that he didn't agree with, you got these little micro expressions. of not quite wage -- quite
