first things first, low 60s beaches and low 70s bayside and peninsula. low 70s in san jose. a good seven degrees below average for this time of the year. and then we topped off in the mid to high 70s and low 80s well inland. it was an unseasonably cool late sum are day in the bayer. tonight, with a blanket of clouds, 50s and 60s. and those winds will begin to dial back out of the west. 10-15. but right now the future cast clearly illustrates that the blanket of clouds, the roll on shore, at least 50, 60 miles inland again tonight. it was hard to carve it out of the valley today. livermore only in the 70s. tomorrow, earlier burnoff. that means ample sunshine. and a couple of degrees warmer. i got to get out of the way. take a look at that right there. that is a textbook perfect area of low pressure sitting off the coast. that is what is enhancing the marine layer. keeping it roughly about 2400 feet deep. that lead me to believe there will be some drizzle in the overnight hours. localized drizzle. a few thunder bumpers in the high sierra and weak high pressure making way for t

bayside, 68. 63 degrees at the coast.throughout the east bay. higher elevations in particular between about 1:00 and 5:00. let's see what he is tracking. say good morning to mike inouye. >>> good morning, folks. we are looking at the south bay with the build. my mistake. north 101, the crash has not yet cleared. right behind a tree or a shot, we can't find it for you. we do see flashing lights still on the scene. this is going to be additional slowing hit this area. look outside. crossing the bay. christina calls it a wind event. i call it a wind advisory. you might get a gust or two across this heavily populated western span. a live look over here. we see a nice, easy drive headed opposite your commute. it backs up at the berkeley curve. >>> it is 6:59. one final check of the day's top stories. a math teacher at santa clara high school is under arrest. accused of having sex with a minor. police arrested hugo cortes guzman after interviewing him about the allegations. teens that know him have taken to twitter to voice the

bayside, 70s and inland that will be some of the warmer air back into the 80s.ight now inland valleys are mild, 59 in livermore. 60 in oakland. 59 in san francisco. again, it's all about the wind today. those winds will continue to gust up to about 15 to 30 miles per hour, especially at the coast, and then the open water expect for those gusts to be a little higher, maybe up to 35 to 40 miles per hour especially in the inlent but that's typical across the bay area. i want to turn your attention to the tropics. you may have heard there are two tropical systems hanging out, one in the pacific, that is tropical storm manuel. winds up to 70 miles per hour and riding along the western coast of mexico. another storm in the atlantic, the gulf of mexico, ingrid, up to 85 miles per hou now, both of these systems are expected to impact mexico as we head towards the next 24 to 48 hours. now, the system in the pacific, that's going to ride up along the coastline up towards guadalajara and eventually affecting puerto vallarta. ingrid could make landfall as a category 2 hurri

same deal for the bayside locations this morning.hine this afternoon by 3:00 of the 75, 80. inland neighborhoods we warm back up. 82, 87 degrees by 3:00 today. here's a look at your highs. san francisco, 69. a lot of 80s out toward concord, fairfield, livermore and antioch. but we have 90s showing up in the long-range forecast maps. we'll have more on that. but sal has an update on the bay area commute right now. good morning sal. >> good morning to you, mark. we're doing well in some areas, slow in others. i want to show you some traffic times. speeds on highway 4, down to 14 miles an hour. averaging from lone tree way to loverrage road. on 680, speeds are down to 25 miles an hour from highway 2 2 -- 242 to 24. you can see a lot of red on the maps. 24 gets better after la fayette. as you drive on westbound 80 between hercules and richmond, it's slowing down to berkeley. the bay bridge toll plaza, that's about a 25-minute delay. it's unusual some of the lanes have been empty there for a bit. but still a big delay -- i would say 25, 3

he grew up in bayside, wisconsin, where his parents still reside.will come as no surprise that mike was an eagle scout growing up. he was a graduate of the university of wisconsin-madison. prior to his service with the f.b.i., he spent a brief period as prosecutor. former f.b.i. director robert muller said mike was not motivated by recognition but by the desire to get the job done, help others and see those around him succeed. though he shied away from the spotlight, renaming this building in which he invested so much of himself offers a fitting recognition in the lasting tribute to one of our nation's most dedicated public servants. the president characterized as no less than an american hero, and i hope we remember that as we debate the issue of a shutdown of the federal government. our federal government is still with such noble public servants serving this country. let me close by thanking, again, the chairman and ranking member of the transportation and infrastructure committee and the subcommittee on economic development, public buildings and

personal reflections and comments on her experiences and the struggle were civil rights working side baysidewith the central figure of american history maker wiley uppers and then we can entertain questions and your comments. the true origins of medgar evers political life can be traced back actually 21832 when the mississippi state constitutional convention was held establishing that state. the delegates at that convention adopted the principle of universal white manhood suffrage eliminating all property qualifications on the voting franchise. however lacks, slave or free were obviously not permitted to vote. during the. not following the civil war reconstruction from 186-52-1877 there was a brief experiment in multiracial and bi-racial democracy in that state but with the demise of reconstruction that was snuffed out. the legal and political regime of white supremacy was established in 1890 where the state held a new constitutional convention a series of provisions adopted including the poll tax letters he tests deliberately designed to exclude the african-american from voting blacks were
