momentarily. >> you two are yapping away. i was working over here. >> yeah okay. >> i think some changes today. there is a lot of high clouds coming in. it will still be warm to hot. get your cameras ready. we have an opportunity for a beautiful sunrise. for those with big 65-75 tv. they are already moving in. i think this is going to give a little bit cooler pattern even though the humidity factor will be up. william tweety out in vallejo. no fog, no wind. i do believe we will get a lot of cloud cover and some rain in here. 60s and 70s for many. 50s for others. there is not much of a breeze yet but there is a lot of high clouds coming in and the heat advisory continues for the inland areas today. not the coast or bay but the clouds are on the increase and they are screaming northward from the san joaquin valley.

that will give us a cloudy afternoon. slight breeze i don't think it will hold much. the key is really the cloud cover coming in along with the low clouds so the combination of the two. there will be some sun here. it will still be hot for many and it will take awhile for areas to cool down. i can pencil in 100s but if the cloud cover thickens up i would take these down 5 degrees. all right alex what do you have for us? steve, good morning to you. i don't have any issues to report on the bay area freeways. so that is the good news. but let me just let you know if you make the ride across the golden gate bridge on a daily basis, you may be aware of this but we want to make sure everybody knows the toll across the bridge starting today it goes up by $0.25s. an extra quarter you will to fork over. if you pay by plate it will be $7.25. in the car pool $4.25.

let's take you to the bay bridge toll plaza. excuse me. we are going to two to oakland there. that is interstate 880 as it goes past the coliseum. the headlights are heading southbound. the traffic is slowing just a bit in that area as you can see but there are no problems to report. and it seems to be a pretty good time to head from downtown oakland to go south into hayward. to the maps we go. this is an area of slowing that we see every time this kind of morning. you can see through the livermore valley coming from the altamont pass west along highway 80. it's going to be sluggish traffic going through livermore over to dublin. if we take a quick look at the south bay and generally speaking things look pretty good. one pocket of slowing there on highway 101 in san jose. but over all no major crashes to report so we are looking good here at 6:02. and i send it back over to brian and pam.

>> thank you so much. speaking of the south bay firefighters will be dealing with high temperatures while they fight a wild fire that has been burning for 12 hours now. janine de la vega is live in morgan hill. >> reporter: temperatures in morgan hill are expected to be in the 90s. so stay inside if you can. something to keep in mind though another flex alert has been issued today. this is the second day in a row that cal issued the alert. asking californians to reduce power use because temperatures have been so high. it wants people to turn off necessary lights and hold off on using major appliances during peak hours from 2:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.. the main concern is air conditioning. asking people to keep their thermostats at 78 degrees or higher. this is what it looked like yesterday at the fountains in san jose. always a popular spot to stay cool. but health officials warn to

stay in the shade and drink lots of water especially in the inland areas where it might be getting up to the triple digits. the heat is most likely going to be grueling for firefighters. they have been battling a wild fire since yesterday afternoon near highway 101 and 25. at least 150-acres have burned -- at least 50-acres have burned. once it gets light enough they may use their aircraft today. no buildings are threatened and no one has been injured. that was oneover three grass fires that broke out in the bay area yesterday. with all the dry vegetation and fourth of july coming firefighters here in the bay area are expecting it to be very busy. brian. >> yeah tough for those fire crews out there this morning. thank you. investigators blame a car for sparking a grass fire near the benicia bridge yesterday. flames spread to brush on the side of the road. forced tolanes of interstate

cut. not only in alamo and livermore but fremont, walnut creek, berkeley, and san jose in the past year. thigh are working with local police and asking the community for help in finding the people responsible. again we have put in calls to the fbi and livermore police and some of the companies involved to try to get more information on what is going on. of course we will let you know as soon as we get those answers. >> certainly a big investigation. thank you cara. 6:07 is our time now. former state senator leland yee is set to appear in court today and a plea deal may be in the works. yee has pleaded not guilty. now yee's attorney is not commenting but a spokesman for the u.s. attorney's office says that there have been negotiations and that a plea deal is possible. yee was among 27 people arrested early last year in a wide ranging political corruption scandal.

be some resistance in congress over this. if everything moves as planned and in fact the u.s. embassy in havana reopens, i expect secretary of state john kerry to travel to cuba to be there when the doors finally open or actually reopen. brian. >> it's amazing how quickly these developments have been happening between u.s. and cuba. before we let you go, what is the other side of the aisle saying about this? terms of republicans? are they agreeing with this move that the president is doing? >> you just heard one republican member of congress taking issue with this. there is certainly a lot of anger and animosity toward cuba. especially in south florida and there is a lot of republican lawmakers and democratic lawmakers that are opposed to this. >> thank you. new developments. there are reports that a fire that destroyed a south carolina church was not arson. i want to go to video from last nights scene in greeleyville.

[ laughter ] i said yep. traffic is good. we'll get you outside here. let me take you first to the toll plaza. and it is getting crowded there at the toll plaza as you can imagine. there is boris on the right hand side of your screen making an appearance this morning. lots of people making their way

across the span into san francisco. to san jose we go. the south bay. some heavy traffic there slowing on highway 101 also i want to get you to the maps and show you the north bay because you will see pockets of slowing on 101 coming south on petaluma as you make that ride from marin county. we will show you the maps out east as you make that ride from antioch along highway 4 also some pockets of slowing as well. steve i send it over to you. >> all right, thanks. we do have a lot going on. there is very warm air in the higher elevations. 80 degrees for some. you get up around 1600 to 2,000 feet. there is pretty thick fog in spots as well. some breaks in that cloud deck and higher cloud deck moving up and sending in a lot of that monsoon moisture. joe an said can you -- joann said can you please make a psa and say it's too hot to work today. i will write the note for you. go right ahead.

60s and 70s for some. very foggy for some. i had reports of foggy conditions. kenny the heat i love the avatar by the way. that is how i thought about 5:00 yesterday. >> the heat visor. >> and vine hill east of martinez, 70-degrees with a dew point of 56. we're in for another hot one. i would agree but i think the higher clouds will take the edge off a little bit. but the higher clouds are just racing up here and there is a lot coming up from southern california. look at this. and even some rain embedded with that. i've had a couple people their barometer is showing wet or rain. that is possible. certainly by tomorrow. the cloud cover will continue to move in. it will be hot and humid inland. i think the cloud cover takes the edge off some of the temps even though there is really warm air aloft. take your pick on the temps.

it's just a huge spread. 60s and 70s to near 90s and 100. the only saving grace would be the high clouds. it will still be hot and humid but i don't think as hot as yesterday. the cloud cover could come rolling in there and turn them cloudy pretty quick. 60 ann 70s to near 90 degrees. we start to cloud it up today and tonight. >> all right thanks. >> look forward to that. thank you. one of san francisco's most iconic landmarks. coming up in 20 minutes, the new tenants who are fighting to move into the palace of fine arts. >> i love that place. plus kim kardashian's san francisco visit created a lot of buzz. after the break reaction to the reality star's appearance and the reason she believes she is so famous.
