But, you know, as we see these parks and recreation areas open up, nice for people to get a little fresh air and little bit of cooling today, too, kari. Yeah, were starting out this morning with temperatures mostly in the 50s and low 60s. And we are also going to see some fog near the coastline keeping it cool there but as we look in san jose, were starting out all clear and our temperature trend will go from the low 60s to the upper 80s again today it still will be warm for our interior valleys and a wide range in temperatures from the low 60s at Half Moon Bay to up to 90 today in antioch.

One more day of our inland valleys hitting into the upper 80s and low 90s. Well talk more about a weekend cool down coming up in a few minutes. A live look at the bay bridge toll plaza. Yeah, just a couple minutes ago they officially turned the metering lights on. We had already shown you the slowing to warn you about that. Looks like folks are heading into the city for their work day, scott. Good morning and a very happy thursday to you. Thursday, of course, is when we get the firsttime jobless claims. Latest numbers just coming in show 1. 5 million americans ask for Unemployment Insurance or Unemployment Benefits for the first time last week. That number is down significantly and its been trending down as businesses open up. But as businesses open up, were seeing the second wave perhaps of the pandemic. Look at what wall street thinks of that. A severe pull back ahead. We may not have had a choice, but opening up the economy did exactly what doctors warned it would do and wall street seems to be realizing that this morning. Federal reserve chairman jay powell says he expects tough times for years ahead. He hopes, he says, unemployment will fall to just 9 later this year. This is the biggest economic shock in the u. S. And in the world really in living memory. We went from the lowest level of unemployment in 50 years to the highest level in close to 90 years and we did it in two months. Extraordinary. The fed concluded its twoday Interest Rate meeting without touching rates. They really cant go any lower. Too late for some of the workers at wells fargo.

Toyota makes about 2. 5 million in that same time. Wow. More people just pay more for those teslas. There you go. All right, thanks. 6 17 right now. Even the jetsons would agree something good from a japanese company. Its a robot that can stop diseases like covid19 in its tracks. It uses infrared ultraviolet to kill viruses on door handles. The Company Originally came up with a humanoid robot to offset japans shrinking workforce and also clean toilets and work as a Security Guard and carry out equipment inspections and it runs for about 1,000 a month. Thats pretty cool. Well, trending this morning, 80s movie fans we have the first look at some highflying stunts that may truly take your breath away. How cool is that . So, the filmmaker shooting the new top gun sequel revealing some of the stunts happening there on set. They actually posted this clip to twitter saying, quote, no cgi here. In fact, tom cruise made the studio agree not to use cgi before he would agree to do the movie. The sequel was supposed to hit theaters this month, but, of course, because of the pandemic, it is now pushed back to december. I want to see the outtakes with tom cruise. Hell probably never let us see those. Not tom cruise. But it is cool that he actually does many of his stunts. So, i think thats pretty cool. Exactly. The Insurance Company doesnt think its cool, but he does. All right, no stunts needed for this forecast. Skateboard stunts. I know, exactly. A lot of kids getting out. Be careful. Yeah, you do have to be careful out there. But weve also had some very warm weather. Were going to start to feel that cool down today for some of us. Lets head to the trivalley as we get a live look outside. Already a lot of people up and out the door with temperatures this morning starting out in the upper 50s and low 60s. Were at 55 degrees in san martin and 63 degrees right now in concord. So, nice, cool start to the day. Its the best time to get out for a workout. As we check out our temperature trend in martinez, some 60s for the next couple of hours and then as we head towards noon, were reaching the low 80s eventually be in the mid up toer 80s today. As we reach up to 90 degrees in antioch and morgan hill expect a high of 89 degrees. Well see palo alto reaching 82 and napa reach 86 degrees. Were coming off of that really hot weather that we had the past couple days. Its still going to be warm for some of us, but some cooler air will start to move in as a storm system passes to our north and also brings in that slight chance of rain farther to the north and the north bay. And then as we look at next week, High Pressure starts to build once again and its going to give us some hotter temperatures from sunday into the start of next week. So, our cool down only happens for a couple of days. Were in the upper 80s today. Some mid 70s tomorrow as that marine layer and that fog really builds near the coast and it will keep it foggy there. Inland areas will get enough of an ocean breeze to help cool us off. On saturday were still looking pretty good and still some comfortably warm weather for the inland areas on sunday but we start to trend back into the 90s for early next week while San Francisco will mostly see some 60s over the next few days. Mike, youve been keeping an eye on the commute. How is it looking . You know, were looking a little crowded over at the bay bridge toll plaza and windows up. Well make sure that we dont spread anything over there as far as any disease because we still have, of course, to socially distance. But i dont know how that would apply over at the toll plaza. Again, windows are up and metering lights are on. The map shows you the slower drive and i circled that over there and out of San Francisco, notice this. A little slowing, as well, on the incline away from San Francisco. It just cleared in the last 30 seconds but i will watch and heard of no problems out of the city or into the city. The rest of the bay shows a smooth drive. Slowing in the usual spots. San mateo is picking up the volume a bit and westbound over to the peninsula. You see low clouds and maybe a little fog at the Golden Gate Bridge but not affecting the drivers. No ones surprised. Back to you. Thanks, mike. 6 22 right now. Coming up next, bay area responds.

Now that protocol came from the military itself and now, scott mcgrew, the senate is adding its voice. Yeah, this is a developing story. Very surprising. The powerful Senate Armed Services committee, remember, run by republicans this morning in a voice vote passed a resolution saying, yes, we should, indeed, rename all of those bases. This comes one day after President Trump put his foot down and rejected the idea. The Armed Services committee controls the purse strings, so, this is shaping up to be quite the collision course with the white house. Youll hear of ft. Bragg in california named after confederate brexton bragg. A retired judge looked against National Former security Michael Flynn has filed his report to the court. Flynn twice pled guilty to lying to the fbi about his contact. He thinks the governments propose tool drop the charges because they are trying to disguidi dismiss. The dismissal or the proposal is perposturous and he was hired by the judge to take that side. Meanwhile, flynns lawyer are going above the judges head and appealed to the Appellate Court and two courts trying to decide the same issue. Thats extremely unusual.

Last night mlb held its draft and the top overall pick is from right here in the bay area. The Detroit Tigers selected Spencer Torkelson and grew up in petaluma. Torkelson is a power hitter and can play first base but was drafted as a third baseman. Thats so exciting. Especially for his parents, too. You know how Many Little League games they probably drove him to. And the practices. Yeah, you always have dreams for your kids. Thats really cool to see him make it. Congrats. Absolutely. Congrats to him, indeed. Congrats on all of us today because the forecast is a winning forecast for us especially after some of those hot temperatures we experienced earlier in the week, kari. Yeah, we are seeing the changes already this morning as we take a live look outside in San Francisco. The fog has rolled back from the city, but were still seeing it across the bay and hovering right over the Golden Gate Bridge. That gives us that iconic view this morning. Its also going to provide some cooling even for the inland areas, even though its starting out sunny in the south bay. We are going to get a bit of a breeze as we check out willow glen and our temperature trend will be in the low 60s to start and well see a mostly sunny sky. Well reach into the low 80s by early in the afternoon and eventually see our High Temperature reach about 84 degrees but there will still be some areas in the inland east bay that wont get much of that cooling from that fog but an improvement over yesterday. Up to 90 in antioch today and 86 in napa and San Francisco stays in the 60s today. Look at that sevenday forecast. Its already up at the bottom of the screen. Wereo the north as that storm system comes by, it will bring in a stronger ocean breeze. It will help cool us off starting out tomorrow and continue through saturday. But then High Pressure starts to come back in and its going to heat us up from sunday into early next week. So, we only get really a couple days of a break from this heat as we reach into the upper 80s inland today and mid 70s tomorrow and some upper 70s on saturday. I think its going to be the best day of the weekend will be saturday. Sunday it starts warm up and next week some 90s back in the forecast. Mike, you have been watching the roads. Is it still flowing smoothly . Pretty smoothly. I mean, even the backup is moving smoothly as we expect at the bay bridge toll plaza and that shows up on the map as just this little section of red with the arrow where weve marked it over in towards the San Francisco area. Out of oakland. Now, in the same map we had an issue over there in alamo. It looked like it was cleared from the chp report. Perhaps i dont know. We have a fire that was reported on the street side of a fence. So, were tracking that over in Contra Costa County. It doesnt sound like a big deal, but, of course, any fire could spread. Were going to track that. The rest of the bay moves very smoothly. Besides the mild slowing and the look on the peninsula shows you 101 very clear and you see low clouds just kind of hanging out.
