Lets get a check of your weather. This morning were starting out with some clouds near the coast and also for the inland area. Take a look out the window. Let me show you the radar right now as we get ready to head out the door and yes, there is some green on there. I know for a lot of you just waking up and looking at the tv, youre like what is that . Okay, so were seeing this very weak storm system coming in and were able to track some spotty sprinkles across parts of the north bay, as we get ready to head out for work this morning. Now this is not something that will ruin your outdoor plans and i think a lot of this will be evaporating before hitting the ground but could bring trace amounts of rain to the north bay while we enjoy a beautiful start to the day in the south bay. Thats a look at the sunrise and well see clouds for a couple more hours and our temperatures going from 60 degrees at 7 00 to the mid70s at noon. So the warmup happens slowly, only reaching about 81 degrees today. Were up to 84 in concord. 81 in napa. San francisco will see some upper 60s there, and as that storm system lingers near the coast, we will once again watch out for that slight chance of rain this morning across the north bay, and then the fog starts to return to the coastline by 5 00 this evening, while all the inland areas are clear, and then going into tomorrow morning, the clouds roll right back in, there may be once again some mist and drizzle near the coastline, not expecting anything major out of this, and even as we go into tomorrow afternoon, our skies clear once again. If youre going to the gias game this evening, be prepared for another chilly evening, breezy winds, temperatures in the mid60s and for the san jose jazz festival, i dont think the weather could be any better. Were reaching into the upper 70s today and tomorrow, and during the middle of the afternoon, weve got sunshine, and a nice little breeze picking up. By sunday, though, thats when it starts to warm up, our inland areas in the low 90s. Well see some mid90s this start out early next week, with that spooic in temperatures doesnt last that long. It will come back down next wednesday and San Francisco stays in the upper 60s and lower 70s. Mike, youre seeing some more slowing for one of our bridges. Yes, but its not the one folks are predicting, not the bay bridge. It is the san mateo bridge. We have a tow truck that just arrived. No need for to us call that in to chp or for the bridge crew, that truck has arrived, helping out that disabled vehicle which was actually operating without any slowing as that truck arrives, folks slow down to see the activity and so that is going on for the flat section of the san mateo bridge westbound. That is a sudden change over the last five minutes. Not enough to really cause a problem but you see the little blip on the otherwise green sensors across 92. Otherwise green around most of the bay. A little build south of there out of the area for 92 and toward hayward, that shows also theres a build. As far as the volume a slight build, only 6 21 right now so traffic flows smoothly this friday, throughout Contra Costa County a mild slowdown for highway 4, pittsburg, bay point, clear toward contord. No problems for the upper east shore and through the maze, its the last bit of traffic flowing into the bay bridge toll plaza that starts to build right now. We are looking at just these folks off the berkeley curve, though, all the other lanes fastrak, hov and cash lanes moving nicely at the toll plaza. They funnel down and half the lanes headed across the bridge when things start to slow down. Despite that, getting to the bridge just 19 minutes from highway 4 to the slowdown off the berkeley curve.

No more distraction. Looking at the speed sensors, you can tell that even though it looks very slow, its just down to 50 at the worst, and at the spot just after the toll plaza where our camera is. Everything else is moving smoothly through most of the bay, including up here getting toward the bay bridge, a little slowing for west 80 around university, typical as we have the build pattern for friday, kicking in much later as well.

A fairfield family bought the dog from 3800 from somebody they didnt know and saw a missing dog poster and realized that dog was stolen. They returned the dog to its Rightful Owner last night. They did receive reward money though. No word on the exact amount. All right, we want to, 6 48 right now and new this morning, you may never have to worry about having a credit card fraud situation ever again. Visa is reportedly using Artificial Intelligence to detect and prevent credit card fraud according to the wall street journal. The ai will use a. M. For algorithms to detect patterns that could signal criminal behavior. Back to oakland where the breaking news is developing. We have nbc bay area sky ranger over a large and smoky warehouse fire. We know that there are oakland fire crews on the ground pumping water onto that as we speak. This is now a threealarm fire, which means that it has grown quite a bit over the last couple of minutes. We have a different angle as well, where you can actually see some of the flames that are making all of that smoke. This is on 11th street right around the intersection with 25th avenue. Mike inouye says its not far from downtown. We know it is east of 880. You can really see the smoke from far, far away. We have other angles which you can see the huge column of smoke. There we have sky ranger zooming out, you can kind of get perspective. Was sing earlier if you think of it as sort of behind the Sheriffs Main Office there. It has nothing to do with the Sheriffs Office, theres a train yard there as well. And so threealarm fire with Oakland Fire Department taking care of things, but obviously you can see that from quite a distance. Usually when we see a lot of smoke like, this we have concerns about possible air quality issues. Kari, the rest of the sky seems pretty clear. The rest of the sky is clear and this is what happens when we have low pressure overhead. It causes that smoke plume to go straight up that forces the air to rise, and so thats the reason why we call it low pressure, and so we are also getting in a breezy westerly wind, so get a look at the wind speeds right now, at about 10 Miles Per Hour in oakland. Anywhere just to the east of that area, may still have some smoke drifting by, but it is once again going up higher into the atmosphere. So that may be some good news and we will also see our winds staying light throughout the morning. As we head across the bay to San Francisco, and a look at the Golden Gate Bridge, were also seeing some of the clouds higher up in the sky, no fog right now as we are seeing that system moving in. So well talk more about that, as you get out the door in brentwood. We have some partly to mostly cloudy skies, well start to see a little bit more sun, but were also keeping the cooler than normal weather with some low 80s there, and up to about 85 in antioch. Livermore were up to 83 for the high today with san jose, seeing a high of 81. Well see santa rosa reaching 80 degrees in San Francisco, in the upper 60s. This is a look at the radar right now, and we talked about that low pressure and its because we are seeing some spotty, light rain moving up around parts of the northern sonoma and mendocino coastline up to ukiah right now, spotty sprinkles and well see that quickly moving through over the next couple of hours, much of the rain will evaporate before hitting the ground. We could see a few hundreds of an inch in some areas with higher terrain and going into the rest of the day, our skies clear, and then San Francisco starts to see the fog coming back to the coast right at about 5 00 to 6 00 this evening, and then we have a partly to mostly cloudy night, and then tomorrow morning we still see some rain off the coast, but im not expecting a lot of that to make its way inland. So indeed we dont need to cancel any weekend plans even though we have some rain nearby. Today we have some cool weather, more clouds, if youre going out to the giants game tonight, first pitch at 7 15 and its going to be cool, only 64 degrees, breezy, and staying in the low 60s later on tonight. And then tomorrow you can head down to santa clara to check out the 49ers preseason game, it will be breezy at times, upper 70s at kickoff, and then staying mild around halftime, 76 degrees. We have a lot of events going on around the bay area, get out there and enjoy it. And also the cooler weather, but it will be heating up early next week, were up to 96 degrees on monday. Mike, you have some important info about those headed to the bay bridge. Thats right, kari, if youre headed toward the bay bridge somewhere in your periphery youll see the huge plume of smoke. The bay bridge very light as you expect on a friday but coming down from emeryville, not those clouds, look our emeryville camera can see this huge stream of smoke coming up over and drifting away from the area right off of the nimitz freeway. Sky ranger out there as well. You see the crew is on scene, going from darker gray all the way to white. Usually when we see white thats better news as far as how much of this fire is being handled but well let the Fire Department tell us the details oen that. We do see crews on scene. You see flames and all that smoke pouring out of the buildings and flying up into the air. The plume is visible from the nimitz freeway and emeryville, folks traveling through the maze will see this coming off of 24, 580 and across the bay bridge even from San Francisco, this will be a distraction, lighter traffic often means folks are driving faster. Distracted driving is not good. Youll se smoke and now you know why its there. Around 11th street at 25th avenue, just off of the nimitz freeway. Were going to look at the maps and show you how traffic is slowing on our sensors as well. We have a slow drive headed up the nimitz freeway, really the only major issue. Everything else reporting a smooth, easy drive, where things are jamming up as you approaching 23rd on the nimity and Everything Else is moving smoothly because its friday. Back to you. Happening now, u. S. Defense secretary mark esper is meeting with military personnel at osan airbase in south korea. Earlier today he met with the defense minister as tensions rise in the region. North korea just completed its latest round of missile tests and earlier this week President Trump pushed for south korea to pay more for the u. S. Troops, who are stationed in their country. And were ready to get you out the door next on today in the bay, a quick look at the top stories, including a top story just now, those live pictures of that major fire that mike sum rised so well. We have our eye on it, well get all the information to you and be back in just a minute. Welcome back to you on this friday morning. We are tracking breaking news this morning, lets take you out to our helicopter, this is happening in oakland, a very, very large fire. You can see that giant plume smokeoingp into the air, so this will be visible if you are driving in the area. Mike says it will be visible from the macarthur maze. What we know is that it is a warehouse that is on fire. Its now gone to three alarms. Oakland fire has been on the scene for a while now, and you can see some of that water thats being pumped from overhead. This is happening at 11th street between 23rd and 25th avenue near that large train yard there in oakland. If we could see another angle of it, just the enormous smoke that has gone up into the air, is going to be visible from everyone, and obviously were concerned about this warehouse but i think for a lot of people in oakland, and berkeley and emeryville they are looking at this and they cant quite get the context of where this smoke is coming from. It is not coming from downtown. It is coming from the Warehouse District and you can just see the roaring, roaring flames there. Its not too far east from 880, so it is going to be a visual distraction, mike, you were talking about the fact that this makes things dangerous on the roadway. Folks are able to drive a little more quickly today baums i because its lighter traffic friday. You see it, its right off of 880 just east of there into the area scott mentioned the train tracks that go alongside the freeway. Folks know that as you head south of downtown. Lets look at the map, showing you the context entire east bay, the maps are showing a smooth drive, but it is slow on the nimitz, as we zoom in here, look at this, north 880 really slows down not because of the Traffic Volume but because of the distraction just around 23rd. Thats the closest exit, zooming out to the rest of the bay, Everything Else is moving clearly so there will be a big distraction around the maze, Contra Costa County in toward alameda county. Kari is saying the weather is impacting, why we can see the smoke. High pressure would push it down. We have high pressulow pressure rising. Follow nbcbayarea.
