In the end, the board passed resolutions unanimously superintendent john malloy says he believes the necessary decision to benefit all of the students and no matter. What our opinion might be as adults in this room. Some of our students have sure that they dont feel safe. Thats just a reality in order to support our students, we really need to do everything possible. I believe. To unite our community.

And after the break, if you didnt get vacation this summer, dont worry. You may still be able to get some airfare deals will explain. And today is not going to be quite as hot as yesterday for the bay area. But if you look out towards the central valley, baking out that direction. We are going to be seeing even more changes into the weekend. From the break, everything down for you as we go. And as the morning goes on, were seeing a lot of traffic out there building and see more red and orange on the map. Were tracking 8. 13 right now. And as we know, there are already plenty of School Bells Ringing probably this very hour. Lots of area kids are back at school. So they missed their chance for Summer Vacation or maybe you feel like last summers oval over prices are to hide. No, you actually still may be able to get a chance to find a good travel deal. In fact, weve got sarah, youre now with more on tips of how find those really good ticket prices. If youre looking to book a trip thats inexpensive domestically or internationally, september and october is the best time to travel because airfare is low. Thats according to travel expert hayley berg from hopper. Were already seeing fares for International Trips like those to europe down hundreds of dollars for summer averaging about 30 off international and domestic flights right now, domestic airfares around 260 while International Flights are under 1000. She says its because most americans take their big trips in the summer. So theres a travel lower Airlines Drop prices to boost flying intrest was the best fares available are 2 regional destinations think mexico Central America and the caribbean. Those flights are usually cheaper than longer flights to asia and europe. Berg recommends for people to look at discount airlines. Make sure to look at what carriers are flying from the airport and if they might have special deals on new routes or out to their already flying. And she recommends booking an early flight so the trip doesnt get delayed or canceled. So taking that first bite of the day does actually benefit your peace of mind essentially your wall.

Youre still what i say because you spent dont tell my brain that though he doesnt like that. You can get a deal yet, it will let you know staycations are still good. Totally nice weather. I normally were going to see a little bit nicer of the day today and even better tomorrow. Backing off the heat the next couple of days. Not that it will be hot anymore, but no triple digits, at least. So well take that looking out there this morning. Youve got a little bit of a low grade which is lifting starting to burn off. So starting to brighten up in San Francisco and other areas along the bay and coast. That have been seeing a lot of those gray skies this morning. Still a little active up in the sierra been seeing thunderstorms there the past few days. None of that for the bay area today. Now, if we zoom out across the region, you can see quite the ominous looking storms sitting west of mexico right now. This right now is Tropical Storm hillary. Its a massive storm actually, and its only expected to strengthen in the days to come eventually becoming a category 4 hurricane before making landfall on baja, california coast, just south of the u. S. Border just south over Southern California neighbors. Now its going to weaken a lot by the time it reaches Southern California. But it does pack enough of a punch that we are looking at the risk of some flash flooding for southeastern deserts of the state into early next week. Just over a twoday period. L a could see over 3 inches of rainfall is going to be a lot in a very short period of time. Bay area will avoid a direct hit but could chance of our own showers into early next week. Now, right now its just the heat. Were still talking about heat advisories for the central valley. Our neighbors inland will still be in the triple digits. But if youre watching this right now here in the bay area, nobodys in the triple digits today here locally. And that is a nice advance from yesterdays peak temps. It will be 60s 70s along the coastline, 70s and 80s along the bay shore. Its not a huge change, but we are around 4 degrees cooler on average than we were yesterday. Its enough to get san jose back into the upper 80s. Still in the mid 90s for the tri valley as well as concord and walnut creek. While oakland and san leandro in the mid 70s, antioch in vacaville, you have those 3 digit numbers yesterday today. Its just 96 for you. Still hot, but not as hot. Tomorrows temperatures cool. Little further right on par with our seasonal averages this weekend with upper 80s low 90s inland, some 70s by the bay shore. Looking ahead at next week, theres the remnants of hillary. I was talking about the Tropical Storm which will likely impact us with a chance of a shower late monday into tuesday. All right, john, thank you for that. Tracking in accident along highway 4 and loaf ridge road. Thats right there in pittsburgh. So having a little slow and sluggish throughout the morning right now. 46 minutes to travel from antioch, into congress to 42 the bay bridge. 21 minutes. So were under 30 and thats good news. 25 in right across or san matteo bridge. If you are making that job. Of the south bay, 60 minutes, 85 up towards menlo park. And lets check on 80 last time i checked and we are at 30 minutes now. Were up 10 were all the way back to pass a hercules, maybe some possible avenue, better alternate for you. But remember, run into those lights as well. Durant is back in new thanks. A lot of state 18 and everybodys probably seem Driverless Cars by now. I know ive seen around San Francisco ahead of one yet. But guess what . There are a shuttles on Treasure Island that are driverless and you can take them. Hoppin hop offer free this service and the vehicle, as you can see is called the loop. Its free. The funding comes from grants from the u. S. Dent tnsportation and San Francisco county and 10 people can fit in there. There is no driver, but they do have an attendant on board at all times. I guess just in case. And right now its picking up. The loop is picking up passengers along this fixed route. You see blue loop here. It shows you this runs from 09 00am until 06 00pm it daily and the shuttles. They arrive every 20 minutes approximately at their stops. The catch they dont run during periods of heavy rain or heavy fog. So the loop could i strand as its foggy. I mean, just something to be aware it can be a problem on the bay.
