It will continue on as a category 4 over some very warm waters, some of the surface temperatures at about 85 degrees, maybe even up to 87 closer to miami. So this will continue on as a major category 4 hurricane making landfall early sunday morning and then continuing up florida and affecting basically the entire state.

Well have word on her latest condition. A followup on the south bay brush fire that burned 100 acres. When the sparks spread to dry brush near the eagle ridge golf course. No homes or buildings were damaged. It did take crews days to fully con the fire. 6 08. The Homeland Security department is calling off a nationwide raid. It was set to happen later this month. The damage caused by hurricane harvey. The organizers want to visit say theyre still feeling discrimination. This will be beneficial for our membership, go to these places to see how our community lives where they dont have supportive governments. Its 6 09 now on this friday morning. A few clouds. Now in the south bay, its 63 degrees in the trivalley. Not a bad start. It feels nice and cool, 59 in San Francisco with some low clouds and fog. We will see that quickly clearing out with temperatures today reaching up to 67 degrees. 69 in oakland and in antioch today expect a high of 84 and 78 in santa rosa. Ill have a look at todays temperature trend for san jose. A light traffic flow around the bay keeps things moving smoothly. Just made its way to the shoulder but reports of some activity in the Center Divide as well. Not a problem as far as the san ma owe bridge. No problem as far as the travel time here.

And here is your north bay, moves well slowing out of vallejo. As you get to novato. It turns out california drivers are killing more large animals like deer according to a new road kill report. Its pretty dangerous. We went through the information overnight. Uc davis report finds the number of deadly crashes involving animals jumped up 20 last year. The nearly 400 coyotes, 135 black bears and 43 mountain lions. Five drivers were also killed. A Class Action Lawsuit has been filed against annies home grown. Two plaintiffs accuse them of using false labeling by stating salad dressings are natural. They claim that the dressing used a synthetic ingredient instead of natural products. Plaintiffs want compensation and punitive damages as well as a new corrective ad campaign. Nothing short of disaster for equifax saying they are the victim of a massive hack. Scott, were talking about Social Security numbers, drivers license all stolen. That alone would be a ka tras trophy, right, but it gets worse. Equifax says data may have been posed for 143 Million People in america, basically one out of every three adults. And that is just the start of the problem. The company set up a website and a phone line but many people report the operators on the phone will hang up on you. I tweeted a link to the website you can check it out. This is my personal result. Equifax says it looks as if, yes, my information was stolen. It then recommends i come back later this month to sign up for a service to protect my data. If you have several family members try to use the website one after the other you could run into problems. Unless you refresh it a couple of times, the website seems to remember the results of the last person who used it. I tried this on two different computers. Ied typing in random names like squid ward from Spongebob Square pants. The last six numbers 1, 2, 34, 5, 6 and it said squid ward was at risk. Three equifax executives sold stock in their company after the company knew they had a breach but before it told the public including two of the companys top information officers, the people who actually deal with the data. Executives may have considered committing insider trading. They claim they didnt which, in a way, is worse when you think about it. You dont get protection right away and the website doesnt work right. It doesnt feel like fall yet today. Another company is trying to cash in on pumpkin glazed doughnuts today only. Why only today . One day only. Do they have the Pumpkin Spice could have if he to go along with it . For you, kari hall. Well investigate.

Now north toward Marina Boulevard that crash looks like everything is off to the right. No delays reported. Thats great. A look at waze. That is not a major issue. The east freeway moves very well. Over here this is the only pronounced slowing from highway 4 out of antioch. You want to cut down out of pittsburg. It will save you about five minutes. Locals through the area know that. Thats the forecasting that we do on the roadways. Nbc bay area wazers. Thats the team to be on. At 6 19, mike, we have some patchy fog along the coast and in San Francisco.

Today in the bays kris sanchez joins us live with the urban shield training and protests planned about nine hours from now. Kris . Reporter yeah, thats right, marcus and laura. The developers of urban shield training say that it is intense training for intense times and that is really part of the issue for protesters. About 1,000 or so Police Officers are going to be inside at that weapons expo later on today in dublin but then thousands of protesters will gather about 20 miles away in oakland. The protesters say that the weapons are one part of what leads to the militarization of our local Law Enforcement. That expo is today here at 4 00 in dublin, the same time protesters gather calling for an end to this kind of urban shield training. I pulled up prior exercises. In 2013 there was a simulated passenger train crash focused on mass casualties. Simulated explosive terror attack, how agencies deal with donations. In 2015 a coordinated terrorist attack, a simulated one, focused on training for Mass Transportation and evacuation. Last year the earthquake exercise tested the regional distribution of goods and this is on shelter. I did post a poll in my twitter feed asking whether you want your local Police Department to participate in exercises like urban shield. About a quarter of you say, yes, in the name of emergency preparedness. About half of you say no because it leads to officers acting more like soldiers and about a quarter of you say it should really be up to individual Police Departments to decide. Now in the last week the Trump Administration overturned some obamaera rules saying that making it easier to acquire surplus military goods that is likely going to fuel the conversation today. In dublin, kris sanchez, today in the bay. Some details on that, more to think about. On the roadways not a lot but still focused on the roadways, looking at your friday light. And, of course, the trivalley is great. Its hayward where we see more slowing. The build is on for the morning commute. Friday we still have that commute. People have to go to work.

You can come to work tomorrow if you want. For some people it did sneak up on them because it was a shorter week, so as we look ahead to this weekend coming up it will be warmer especially for the inland valleys. We really feel the warmth on sunday. So saturday is still going to be nice. Mostly some 80s from the bay to the inland areas. The coast in the upper 60s and on sunday great beach weather as we will see the highs up to 76 degrees. 85 for the bay. Inland a hot 96 degrees. If youre making plans to go to the jack of all trades market in oakland, for tomorrow it starts out at 58 degrees and then only seeing highs into the mid70s. Upper 70s by 4 00.

He said he would be willing to work with the Senate Minority leaders and Chuck Schumer over in the senate to get rid of the debt ceiling forever. Now understand the debt ceiling had to be raised. The president agreed to a shorter time line that will give democrats extra negotiating power. The president on his new bipartisan attitude. And i said frankly its time that we walk out and shake hands and have a and they agreed, and i will tell you, there was a lot of spirit in that room, a lot of good spirit. Congress could vote to raise the debt ceiling as early as today. Each Year Congress passes a budget, almost always the budget is more money than we actually have. And the difference obviously is the. This comes due once weve used up all the money. The same congress that approved the Budget Approved the debt at a later date.
