Windy out here. With daylight you can see exactly how far this fire spreads. The concern was it started on the eastbound side of 580 and then jumped both directions of the interstate 580 onto the northbound side. Traffic is still backed up. This all started from an accident at around midnight last night and the big rig or pickup truck, were still trying to confirm which one it was, whether it was a big rig or a pickup truck. The chp saying it hit the Center Divide and caused a fire. That fire spread to the other side of the freeway. At one point riding in the wrong direction because they were trying to get away from flames. Fortunately the firefighters were able to put the flames out. The fire spread to about 100 acres but now it is completely out in all directions. Both directions are open. Back here live, the traffic westbound is still backed up. I was sitting in the traffic eastbound. At 3 45 they opened up the lanes so eastbound is flowing smoothly. Back to you. Thank you, sharon. And to kari with more.

Well, youll have to get out the baby pool, kris. Try to find ways to cool off. All of you. We are looking for ways to just stay cool in this heat, but we have the natural air conditioning as we look at San Francisco. This is all fog right now. I know its hard to see anything. Its been rolling across the city. As we look inland its clear, its sunny, and we are going to have temperatures quickly heating up. As we lock at where we are now and where were headed, mid60s at 8 00 and normally were reaching 81 degrees. But i cant even remember the last time we had just normal weather. Its been so hot this spring and summer, and thats going to continue today. Looking at our temperature trend as we reach into the upper 80s by early in the afternoon, and thats about where our temperatures will stop in the south bay. But were looking at some mid90s in parts of the east bay as well as the south county. Head further to the north in ukiah and clear lake. It will reach into the mid90s. You compare that to the 60s along the coast. If you have some friends on the east coast, you might want to call them this weekend. Theyre going to be dealing with a lot of rain. Tropical storm fay has developed. And right now its pushing some of that rain up closer to new jersey and heading towards new york city over the next couple of days.

As we bring it back home its just hot. The extreme heat moving into the bay area were not going to see that change at least for a little while but then as we start to see our ocean breeze returning well see our temperatures coming back down a few degrees but it will still be a little bit warmer than where we should see the temperatures even in the middle of july so looking at highs that will reach into the mid90s throughout the weekend for some of our hottest spots. And then for next week well bring it back to the mid80s but no major changes in San Francisco. At times the fog moving in and i think the fog will be even thicker tomorrow morning. So were looking at a slight cooldown there as we go into the next several days. Mike, how is it looking for the commute . Drivers get ready to head out this 6 00 hour. Kari, talking about that fog and i thought i would show that as well. The Golden Gate Bridge and fog is there. It will not be a surprise for most folks and the light volume of traffic. Do note it is there and so is the bridge, i have to reassure folks who dont know. The bay bridge, where we dont really have the fog and dont have a major problem but we do have slowing in the middle lanes. No metering lights registered. Theres slowing, though, because the crowd is building as you funnel down to fewer lanes and the incline. Mild slowing. Middle lanes show a bigger slowdown and no problem speeding in through Contra Costa County. Alameda looks great. No major problems. Recovery very nice. Just slowing out of the altamont towards grant line road and that is pretty standard for a friday. 84 is cleared through livermore and slow 880 is clear now.

I actually drove through this area at about 3 45 to get here to this live shot. It was stand still traffic. They opened east lanes at 4 00. No injuries, thats the good news. Firefighters were able to keep this fire contained and put out at about 150 acres. Now back here live you can see that westbound the traffic is still pretty much moving slowly, at a standstill.

We take it through the middle of the day and look at the mid to upper 90s we have in some of our interior valleys. You compare that to the 60s that well see in moon bay as well as San Francisco and some 70s for parts of the inner bay. And then if you plan on going out walking for this evening that ocean breeze will start to kick in, so our temperatures will drop quickly. Were only spending a couple hours and some really hot weather during the middle of the day. And if you have some friends on the east coast, give them a call this week. They may be dealing with this Tropical Storm fay. Its moving to the north at about ten miles an hour. We see the wind speeds within that system at about 50 miles an hour. This is going to bring a lot of rain over to new york city as we head into the weekend. As we look at the storm system racing to the north, the areas impacted. So thats something that will be making headlines this weekend. Well be watching out for that. For us its just the heat. Its so hot and dry. The vegetation is very crisp and brittle. And then we look at whats going to happen going into next week. Not a lot of changes here but it will cool off slightly to the end of the forecast. Weve had so much above normal temperatures that we even know where we should be, low 80s. Were still above that as we go through the next seven days. Mike, how is it looking for the commute right now . That is where we should be for friday during the summertime, maybe even lighter because as folks are opening up we saw more traffic and not everywhere is as open as it was. We see the traffic build at the bay bridge t plaza. We do see all lanes affected except for hov, of course. The reason is because the metering lights are on. Its slower for that drive be westbound getting into San Francisco. Thats really the only slowdown we see for the bay. A little build for highway 4 in through concord and thats been the traditional pattern. Great recovery. The slowing west 580 friday light. The fire and closure have completely cleared there. No problems for the rest of the bay. Back to you. Thank you, mike. A lot of coronavirus casualties in terms of the bay area but now one of key wests biggest parties is canceled because of the pandemic. You may have heard of fantasy fest which brings 75,000 people to florida every year in october. Its been around since 1979. There are parades and costumes and parties and it just celebrated its 40th anniversary. This year it is no more. Next, a quick look at the top stories including downtown bases in one east bay city are boarding up windows to get ready for the weekend. Well tell you why.

Drivers had to drive on the wrong side of the road to avoid flames. The fire is now out. It burned over 200 acres. No one was hurt. Berkeley leaders are considering the usual rather unusual idea of taking traffic stops out of the hands of police officers. Next tuesday councilmembers will consider this as one way to reduce Police Response to nonviolent crimes tied to reform and defunding. This is believed to be the first idea of its kind anywhere. Public works agents would enforce traffic instead. In advance of a big civil rights protest planned for martinez this weekend, some businesses are already boarding up their storefronts.

Golden gate bridge we see that fog there as well, a the fog. Has its own twitter handle and everything. Cierra. Happy friday. Have a great day. A live look at downtown redwood city. Have a great weekend. Good morning. Pause the process. With coronavirus cases hitting another daily record in the u. S. , dr. Anthony fauci says its time for some states to slow their reopenings. Shutting down to opening up in a way that essentially skipped over all the guideposts. Thats not the way to go. In california the new surge causing new shutdowns. In texas First Responders pushed to the brink. In florida cases skyrocketing, but disney world set to reopen this weekend. So where do things really stand . We
