The nbas commissioner has promised to try to force sterling to sell the clippers. Just this week in an interview with Cnns Anderson Cooper sterling said he thought the commissioners punishment seemed harsh but he seems to have come to terms with the fine. You say its a little harsh. Is it fair . Oh, i dont know if its fair. I mean, maybe its fair. I mean, for all the aggravation, all the embarrassment, all the humiliation i caused, maybe its fair. But this letter from his lawyer is a big about face from those comments. The letter that sterlings lawyer sent could signal a lawsuit is in the works.

Were talking a whole bunch of firefighters from the east bay including hayward, oakland, livermore, pleasanton and Alameda County are helping to put out this monstrous blaze. Fremont Fire Department posted this photo of its strike team after arriving from a 12hour drive. From whirl winds of smoke caused by the heat and the winds to swirling flames that rise out of the burning vegetation, the wildfires in Southern California seemed to have lives of their own. Conditions unfortunately in Southern California have just been ripe with the large winds, the santa ana winds, and very, very dry. Reporter a number of homes have already been destroyed. We were coming up the driveway we saw it and all broke down started crying. I have never seen anything like it. It was absolutely gorgeous. And now its all gone. All gone. What can i say . Reporter some of the fires burn in the foothills near the San Marcos Campus of cal state university. Two others burn in areas on marine corps airbase camp pendleton. One of them relatively small, the other covering nearly 10 square miles. Doubt conditions in california combined with strong winds and near tripledigit temperatures prime weather for wildfires. In fact, for us, the conditions like this in may, its unheard of. Its unprecedented to see this type of weather and fuel conditions but we prepared for that not only cal fire but all the local cooperators in california. Reporter with all of california dealing with severe to exceptional drought conditions, Officials Say fire season is now year round. At least one person has been killed and this morning fire crews are hoping that the weather or cooler weather will continue to help them gain ground in fighting this fire.

The fires were all near to one another on south novato boulevard. A homeowner actually suffered smoke inhalation trying to put out one of the fires. Mother nature needs to step in and help out. I think today we are going to see those changes. We are going to see more of a sea breeze, higher humidity and hopefully the winds calming down so thats good news for them. Here locally we have been talking about recordbreaking temperatures this week but thats long gone now. We are seeing that sea breeze kicking in. We have patchy fog along the coastline, high clouds up above. And yeah, we are going to start cooling things down nicely around the bay area today. So if you have been looking for some heat relief we are going to get it. Nice shot this morning clouds out over the bay bridge hazy there as well but temperatures cooler than where they have been over the last couple of days. Of course, we have been in the 60s at this time but today 40s and 50s. So cooler start and a cooler finish, too. Plan on 60s out toward the coastline with some patchy fog. Still some 70s a few 80s inside the bay. You will find some mid80s in the warmest valleys and much cooler weather for the weekend. Well talk more about that in a moment. Lets check the roads with elizabeth. And i had mentioned that earlier accident approaching grant line. Its still there at least off to the righthand shoulder and it is causing some delays. We are beginning to see them coming out of tracy and then its always slow anyway at this time of the morning so here you go kind of end to end now. It is jammed up maybe a little bit of clearing as you get closer to pleasanton. But that drive time kind of jumped in the last few minutes. 19 minutes now between the Altamont Pass and the dublin interchange. Mass transit everything looks good. Bart still on time. And no problems for ace train number one. Silicon valley drivers this is what you can expect on westbound 237. Clear conditions, six minutes between milpitas and sunnyvale. And at the bay bridge obviously no metering lights yet. No need for those. They have been turning them on early, though, i have to say so if you want to beat the rush head out now. Just some slight delays in the far left cash lanes. Thats your latest kcbs traffic. Frank, michelle, back to you guys. Thank you.

The congressman has invited companies from around the country to show off their technologies including radar, hidef motion sensing cameras, heat sensing cameras and l. E. D. Lights with sensors. Your belief based on what we have seen from contractors, both private and public, there are opportunities to have pilot programs to see how technology can better secure our airport and make sure that passengers know that when get on a plane, only a ticketed passenger who has been screened and cleared by security is also on that plane. Reporter the teen survived cold temperatures and low oxygen for five hours by hiding in the wheel well of the jet.
