At the marina green, allen martin, kpix 5. So we have got racing on the bay and on the road a recipe for serious traffic. The San Francisco giants are in town all weekend limping towards the end of the season. On a brighter note the oakland as are at the coliseum hopefully sprinting towards the playoff berth and the San Francisco 49ers kicking off their season against the Green Bay Packers on sunday. Add to all of that the new bay bridge. Youre looking live at westbound traffic at the toll plaza. As we have been telling you all week, bridge traffic has been moving very slowly at times as drivers just look around and snap some pictures. The Highway Patrol says this busy weekend is probably not a good time to do that. We are anticipating significant traffic in the area particularly because we have some sporting events going on. I would say leave some extra time if you can, take Public Transportation if you want to really take a good look at the bridge use the pedestrian walkway. Its been open for a while now and a lot of people are out checking it out. The chp says if you are even thinking of crossing the bridge this weekend, have at least a half tank of gas. And another thing to look forward to this weekend, the weather. It was warm enough even in San Francisco for people to get some fresh air. They are not used to this heat. Its the first 80degree day in San Francisco all summer long and many scoped out the shady spots. Meteorologist paul deanno says get used to it. Next few days are going to be warm. If not warmer than today, youre right, juliette. Lets talk first about the areas that typically are hot this time of year inland areas. Pittsburg hit 98 today. Santa rosa 93 tying vacaville and novato 91. This is more telling. These are the spots that arent typically warm. Alameda you hit 85. Richmond 84. Union city 83. And how about Half Moon Bay . Almost making it to 80 degrees. Guess what, High Pressure thats making us warm isnt even here yes as it builds in south and east. Air quality not so good. Spare the air day coming up tomorrow because we are getting hotter. The nights overnight lows going to be very warm so not much relief if you leave the windows open and low humidity means a higher fire danger. Well have that coming up. Firefighters put out a grass fire on Yerba Buena Island this afternoon. It may have been the cause of a traffic slowdown on the bridge. That fire started during the lunchtime rush. And crews say the flames were hard to get to. They had to fight the blaze standing just feet away from passing cars and trucks. But they had the fire out in less than half hour. Major route into Yosemite National park that was closed due to the giant wildfire has reopened today. Highway 120 from groveland reopened around noon and thats the main entrance to the park from the bay area. The socalled rim fire has burned 385 square miles since it broke out on august 17th. It is now about 80 contained. U. S. Forest service says the fire was started by an illegal campfire. And three years after a pipeline explosion in san bruno killed 8 people and destroyed dozens of homes, pg e is still taking the heat. The utility recently admitted to falsely reporting the safety of its pipelines across San Francisco and the peninsula. State officials are now concerned the company could still be putting the community at risk. So the puc may decide to levy even more fines against pg e. The utility is already facing fines of more than 2 billion for that original disaster. Well have more details on this story coming up tonight at 6 00 on kpix 5. Two San FranciscoProperty Owners dubbed the landlords from hell are headed to prison. Kip macy and his wife nicole pleaded guilty to terrorizing their tenants from 2005 to 2007.

Time already served in prison will count towards their sentence and they are each required to pay thousands of dollars in restitution to tenants.
