Clark this week. Lets get your wednesday started with weather and traffic. It was warm and hot yesterday. Yes. A little bit of a cooldown. A lot of high clouds coming in. It doesnt matter in the city or along the coast. Not gonna be that hot. Thank goodness we didnt have an offshore breeze. As it was, mainly confined to inland areas. Some breaks in the higher clouds but theres definitely an increase in those coming up from the San Joaquin Valley, sacramento valley, heat advisory out, same areas as yesterday. But the cloud cover is racing in here fast. Very thick on the golden gate. Some rain embedded in this taking the turn after arizona coming up from southern california. The high desert and i think a lot of that plays in our weather with an increase in the clouds. Westsouthwest 21. But theres extremely warm hot air aloft which will translate into toasty numbers again inland. But yesterday we didnt have the high clouds. Today they will be there. Thats why i think it will be still toasty. 60s and 70s by the water or very low 80s. Alex, a lot going on . Fairly quiet. We got a few trouble spots. Well get to all of those. Mostly, though, no crashes to report around the bay area. Thats the good news as we move into the 7 00 hour and the heart of the commute. Here you go. The san mateo bridge and you can see the traffic beginning to pick up there for all of those folks heading westbound across the span and over to the peninsula. Slow going right there once you get past the pay gates. The bay bridge toll plaza, you got that sun moving up in the sky right there and pointing into the cam rahn lens camera lens. Its crowded as a bunch of folks try to make their way up the pay gates and across the incline. The fast trackers sliding through there faster than those paying cash. Let me show you the maps and the Livermore Valley has been quite crowded throughout the morning, as it normally is. Now we have a little bit of an issue. This is a crash that happened about a halfhour or so ago but still causing problems. You see it on the map. Thats a crash westbound 580 right at airway boulevard causing issues as, of course, the chp gets out there to deal with everything in that area. As we go south down to san jose, and you can see the freeway system there becoming more and more busy as we move into the heart of the commute. A few areas of slowing, a few areas where you will slow down in a big way this morning, but overall, seems okay for this time of morning. As you head up the peninsula here along highway 101, that looks like a very good ride going into the city. 7 03. Back to the desk. Happening now a heat advisory now if effect for much of the bay area. People living inland could see another day of tripledigit temperatures. Crews in the south bay already busy battling a fire burning south of gilroy. At last report its only 50 contained. The fire started before 3 30 yesterday afternoon in a canyon near the junction of highways 101 and 25. While there are no injuries or damaged buildings reported, the fire has burned through at least 50 acres. No word yet on the cause of the fire. A statewide flex alert is in alert. That calls on people to reduce their electricity use. They are also asking people to turn off unnecessarily lights and to hold off on using major appliances from 2 00 p. M. To 9 00 p. M. The main concern, air conditioning. They are also people to keep their thermostats at 78 degrees or higher. A flex alert is issued to reduce strain on the system and to help prevent blackouts. The high temperatures and fire danger prompts firefighters to try to raise awareness to safety with the fourth of july around the corner. Janine de la vega is live in los gatos. Its a message weve heard before but this year, firefighters are saying with the drought and the current temperatures, fireworks danger is extremely real. Reporter it definitely is, and so what theyve done, a fire chief has brought in some safe and sane fireworks. These are only legal in gilroy but also illegal fireworks which are very dangerous. So we have them all here. Theyve been seeing ancease in calls this week throughout the bay area of people setting off illegal fireworks in their neighborhood and to get some more information about how dangerous these are, we go to fire chief from Santa Clara County, ken. These right here, the safe and sane ones, only legal in gilroy, but talk to me about this. This is the next level. Nobody is supposed to have these. Thats right. The fireworks over here on this side of the table are the safe and sane fireworks. These are legal in california but in Santa Clara County they are illegal. They are only legal in gill gilroy. These are illegal everywhere in california. These are dangerous fireworks. These will explode but they make a much smaller bang. These are explosives just like bombs. These are the kinds of things that these can literally blow your hand off or part of your arm off. People dont know the difference between these two. You said that you show me the example you were saying that some people will buy these and a gentleman was using one of these a few years ago, thought it was benign, put it in the tube, lit it. When it didnt go off, he went back to see what it gone wrong and it went off and injured him severely. They look safe. They look like the other fireworks we see, but they are not. Reporter and were surrounded by dry vegetation here. Were in los gatos. Even though it looks like a remote area. There are homes very close to us. Tell me with the dry fuels and the dangers. Were in a residential neighborhood. There are houses a few hundred feet from here. Areas like this exist all throughout Santa Clara County. The dry vegetation, we live in a state that has dry vegetation every year. But this year the fuels are drier than theyve been before. Reporter and penalties, too, right .

It probably feels that way, too. Reporter it is. Theres dry trees as well around us. They specifically wanted to bring us to the area. Its so close to a neighborhood. People set these fireworks off in the middle of the street and they go flying everywhere and, you know, a roof can catch on fire and a person can be injured. A lot of people cant imagine fourth of july without fireworks but for some veterans it can be an agonizing experience. Mathew used to live to watch fireworks. Since serving overseas hes been suffering from post Traumatic Stress disorder now he says the large popping sounds bring back bad memories from his days in combat. They just blow it off. Its just fireworks. Yeah, okay. When you are getting rocketed and getting shot at. Its not fun. Makes me want to curl up in a ball.

Now, germanys chancellor weighing in. She said there should be no new negotiations until the referendum on sunday. Thats when greek citizens vote on the previous terms and essentially whether or not greece should stay in the eurozone. Obviously, if theres a Ripple Effect and it ruts the euro, the u. S. Economy has a great amount of exposure to europe and if we see other countries having similar problems, that could affect the u. S. People hit especially hard by this situation in greece, retirees. Hundred of them gathered outside of outoutside of the ministry. The retirees have only received part of their monthly pension. Many say they dont have bank cards.

Shes a very smart businesswoman. Her twitter and instagram followers are in the hundreds of millions. Shes talking about how shes a hustler from very early on. She was learning how to make money early on. A lot of people in the general public said i dont get her because of the way she got famous. I will never be a supporter of hers.

When you left the theater did your perception change and more importantly did she appear to know shes very aware of how people see her and is she aware of catch talize capitalizing on that . She talked about being in control of how her image is use. She likes to be involved in every aspect of her businesses, her apps, clothing line, makeup, books, you name it.

Well cloud it up later today. That will give, i think more 90s than 100s. There is a slightly stronger breeze. Theres extremely warm air aloft by the 80s. Os, 80s 70s, 80s. But the cloud cover is racing in here. I think there will be enough there that temperatures will still be hot. Just not as hot as yesterday. The coast is dealing with a lot of of fog. Fog, sun, clouds. A lot going on for july 1st. Cool for some. It will take another day for some inland temps to start coming down. But well go mostly cloudy i think by later this afternoon. Again, a lot of these are cloud dependent. Not any clouds. Thats why temperatures soared 104 to 108. Cloudy to mostly cloudy thursday, friday, maybe some rain in here. Cooler by the weekend. All right, steve. Thank you. Texters all too familiar with those emojis, the next rollout. A new Study Suggests eye color and alcohol dependence. Which color is most at risk, according to the study. We are learning more details about how two men escaped from a maximum security prison in new york. David sweat, the man captured monday, says he was the mastermind behind the escape. And he says they pulled the whole thing off twice. Sweat says the night before they actually got away, he and richard matt navigated a series of tunnels and popped out of a manhole. But there were too many homes around so they decided to try a different manhole. The District Attorney is investigating how this went unnoticed. Matt was killed by police and sweat is in a New York Hospital recovering from being shot during his capture. People with blue eyes might have a greater chance of becoming alcoholics. At least thats according to genetic researchers at the university of vermont. They found that primarily europes with light colored eyes were more alcohol dependent than those with dark brown eyes of the strongest correlation was blueeyed individuals. It shows they line up along the same chromosome as the gene with excessive alcohol use. Coming up in our 8 00 hour, the heat is definitely on. That means wildfires popping up around the bay area. Coming up, well talk live with calfire and what the agency is doing to prepare for what could be a very busy weekend. Bottle rockets, roman candles, we have a table full of illegal fireworks and we also have the fire chief with us to answer questions about the dangers of all of this and the penalties. Good morning. Its 8 00. Wednesday, july 1st. Im gasia mikaelian. Im brian flores in for dave clark. Wildfire burning south of gilroy remains 50 contained. The fire broke out before 3 30 yesterday afternoon in a canyon near highways 101 and 25. The fire has grown to 50 acres. Crews battled the fire all night and will remain there this morning. Theyve been attacking it from the air and on the ground. No buildings were threatened. No one hurt. There is no word on what started the fire. But coming up in our second halfhour, well talk to calfire about what the agency is doing. The statewide flex alert goes back into effect. It calls on people to reduce their electricity use. They are asking people to turn off unnecessary lights and to hold off on using major appliances during 2 00 p. M. To 9 00 p. M. The main concern here is air conditioning. They are asking people to keep their thermostats at 78 degrees or higher. Also happening today, a state gasoline tax being cut. One is an excise tax based on how many gallons of gas we buy. The numbers are rebalanced every year. But even experts say the gas tax laws are confusing. Lets get you out the door with a check on the weather. A lot of high clouds on the way. Fog on the coast. Many 70s inland. It will still be warm to hot. I dont think as hot. Heat advisory is out. Too much cloud cover and even rain coming up from the San Joaquin Valley. I think some of this plays into our forecast later. Today, kuehl to the west cool to the west, warm humid to the east. A number of slow spots as we move into the 8 00 hour. Well go first down to the south bay. I will show you what things look like and you take a live look at highway 101 going excuse me. Thats 880 right there in oakland. I beg your pardon and the traffic is sluggish as you move into downtown oakland. Now i believe were gonna head over to the toll plaza. No. Now we go south to san jose. There you go. Whats that things look like. Thats highway 101. 280 also slow for our friends down in the south bay. Your time, 8 03. There is a quick look at the toll plaza, thats all jammed up. But the span is expanding after an earlier stall. Back to you guys the at at the desk. Fireworks and the fourth of july go hand in hand. Janine de la vega has a warning for the upcoming holiday weekend. Reporter hi, gasia. Were here in a parking lot in los gatos. I have this stuff in my hand, a lot of dry fuels and vegetation. It looks like were in a remote area but were 200 feet away from a neighborhood. This that i have in my hand, it looks like a Bottle Rocket type of fire work but its actually an explosive which is illegal and here i have a table full of illegal fireworks here in Santa Clara County. Some of this stuff illegal in california and to get some more information about this and the dangers, were joined by ken. Thank you for joining us. Tell me about this and this, the differences and the penalties. Well, its significant. This stuff looks like these look like fireworks but they are not. These are explosives. These are dangerous fireworks. But as you said, this is for all intents and purposes, its a giant Bottle Rocket. Most people are familiar with them. You put it in a bottle. You light it. It flies away. Same thing here. This will cause more damage. Reporter i know for some of this stuff, you need a pyrotechnic license and normally like for a show, they clear a space, right, because this stuff i mean, how far away should you be . Well, a good example is Something Like this could go 100, 150 feet. These are designed to put into this canister light the fuse. It shoots it into the air and explodes. These will go anywhere from 50 to 100 feet in the air. You need a sizable area for any fallout. This is exactly like the professionals use. Reporter and this is a felony. Seven years in jail. Its a felony. Reporter you were telling me earlier you have witnessed this happen. Youve gone to one of our first fires happening, this happened in a neighborhood. People set these off at block parties. They do. And you will hear these. You will light it. As it flies, it whistles and you will hear the whistling sound with a little pop at the end. Many times in my career, ive gone to structure fires, a Bottle Rocket, somebody lights it off. They dont know where it will go. It lands on a roof shake roof and the next thing you know you have a roof tire. Reporter you see a lot more injuries even with these compared to the other ones, is that right . We do. And i think part of it is because people think these are safer because they are called safe and sane. But the reality, there are fireworks. The sparklers that you see that we grew up with, you light them and they try to right their name in the dark. Its a lot of fun. Its a billion metal sparkler. This bushes at about 1200 degrees. You drop one on ourself, you burn your skin, you poke somebody with it, it burns them. Thank you for joining us this. One of the things we want to mention, this year they passed and ordinance that makes the Property Owner responsible. Fines go ulat way up to 1,000 fines go ulall the go all the way up to 1,000.

Thats why weve already taken steps to allow for greater travel between the United States and cuba. We will continue to do so going forward. Since december, weve already seen enormous enthusiasm for this new approach. Leaders across the americas have expressed support for our change in policy. Youve heard that expressed by the president of brazil yesterday. Public opinion surveys in both our countries show broad support for this engagement. One cuban said i have prepared for this all my life. Another said that this is like a shot of oxygen. One cuban teacher put it simply, we are neighbors, now we can be friends.

A lot of this cloud cover will play into our weather. The humidity factor will go up. I think we can get rain get out. It will increase the cloud today giving us a cloudy pattern. I think even though the temperatures will warm up, i think the cloud cover will take the edge off some of the highs from yesterday. 60s, 70s, 80s, coast and bay and then 90s and 100s inland. A lot of these are if the cloud come in between 1 00 or 2 00, we wont reach the temperatures. Still gonna be very warm to hot. You add in the factor on the moisture might want to add as well that we start to go cooler tomorrow. Much cooler under cloudy to mostly cloudy skies and that trend will take us into the weekend.

As we go up here to the maps no, well go to san jose and show you the sluggish traffic that you can find on 101 northbound at mckee road as you move up the peninsula. Now to the maps we go and this this what your east bay ride looks like. Getting over to the maze and the toll plaza will be rough if you are coming in from richmond or vallejo as you come down and right about richmond on 80 westbound, you will hit a lot of slow traffic as you make your way toward the maze. 8 24 is the time.

And slow going for many around the bay area. We are show you what things like as you try to get from the east bay into San Francisco. Scorcher inland yesterday. There there is a lot of high clouds that might cut the high temps out. Well talk about that. Welcome back to mornings on 2. Im gasia mikaelian. Im brian flores in for dave clark who is enjoying the day off. New information this morning on the fbis search for whoever caused an outage of internet, tv and phone service. It affected customers from sacramento all the way up to seattle. The latest damage was done in livermore yesterday but investigators say vandals have been cutting cables in all of the cities marked on this map for the last year. Cara lui is live in alamo. Cara, you just talked to the fbi and agents have ruled a couple things out. Reporter sorry. They were telling me this is something they are concerned about especially since there were 11 of these fiber cuts in the past year. They were wanting to clair my this does not appear to be a coordinated attack. It also doesnt appear to be a case of somebody stealing materials. Now, in the latest incident internet, tv and phobe service were knocked out for customers phone service were knocked out for customers. The fbi confirming fiberrotic cables were deliberately cut in livermore yesterday morning and these cables were housed in a manhole covered vault. Workers at a Software Development company in rocklin say they were impacted and had to do a lot of their work offline or use cell phones to connect to the internet wirelessly. Weve never had a problem with wave. Were surprised. Reporter a spokeswoman for level 3 impacted confirmed level 3 Network Experienced a Service Disruption due to a fiber cut in the Northern California region and our network tech nixes have worked to resolve the issue and all services have been restored. The fbi tells us its possible the person or people who did this could have been dressed as utility workers. They are not sure yet but they definitely want to talk to anyone who might have seen anything suspicious. Cara lui, thank you. Lets get your day started with a quick look at the weather. Heres steve. We have high temperatures that lingered into this morning with some warmth. Grant parson, keep us cool. We hit 107 East Livermore and were expecting it hotter today. I dont think so. Palm springs sounds cool, 86 but cloudy down there and raining in bakersfield with an east wind gusting to 2 miles an hour. Mid70s for some. A lot of 60s for others. Fog, coast and bay, 50s and 60s. Plenty of low clouds and fog. Its the higher clouds which could easily take the edge off a lot of these highs. Plenty of moisture streaming off. Well start off very warm but i think we cloud it up. Still went to 100s. It will be close but 60s and 70s by the water. Im keeping an i on an issue that could cause problems for folks making their way across the san mateo bridge westbound toward the peninsula. Well get you to a live picture. Traffic is moving okay in this area. But the issue is at the the state route 92 connector to 101 over there in redwood city, there is a crash and a couple of lanes do appear to be blocked in that area. So keep that in mind as you try to make your way to the peninsula. Well get you another look here at the bay bridge toll plaza where things are all jammed up here at 8 30 and its gonna take you quite a while to make your way from Richmond West along 880 through berkeley toward the maze as well. Bear that in mind as you head out the door. 8 34 is the time, gasia and brian . Thank you. New this morning, we just received an update on a wildfire thats bumping south of gilroy. Now, calfire announced that it evaluated the size of the fire. Its now downgraded it from 50 achers to 42 acres. However, the blaze still only 50 contained this morning. It broke out before 3 30 yesterday afternoon in a canyon near the junctions of highways 101 and 25. There are no reports of any injuries or damaged buildings. The cause of the fire still under investigation. Investigators blame a car for sparking a grass fire near the benicia bridge yesterday. Flames spread to brush on the side of the road and forced two lanes of interstate 680 to be closed during the evening commute. The fire did threaten an rv Storage Facility but crews managed to put out the fire in time. There was a fire in nearby cordelia that also packed up traffic on 680. The grass fire was reported before 5 30 last night north of headache herman road. Flames were fueled by large piles of garden mulch. No word upon the cause of the fire. As you all know, fires have been popping up all over the bay area. Fire crews across the state have warnings. Daniel, first of all, weve been talking about this warning every fourth of july. The fact that california is in the fourth year of drought i imagine its more serious. Yeah, absolutely. Weve seen a significant increase in wildfires across california including the bay area as you were just reporting on and that is because conditions are so much drier this year with with the drought and thats why the warnings are to be extra safe. Safe and sane fireworks are legal in some areas of the bay area. But a lot of people may think they are in one city but actually its a difference of a couple of hundred feet it turns out they are in another county and what they are using is illegal. About 300 cities and counties here in california allow the use and sale of safe and sane fireworks. But you can go over the border into an area where they are banned. Even though they are safe and sane in one area. They are considered illegal in another. You have to be careful. If you chows to buy safe and sane fireworks, use them in the community that you buy them in. Dont take them in an area where they are not allowed. If it were up to calfire, up to you, would you ban all fireworks in california due to the extreme Drought Conditions . Its a local decision whether the city or county wants to allow those fireworks to be used in the community. Our recommendation is always go to a large public disply. Thats are often display. Those oftentimes can be much safer. Whats important is not talking about banning it but talking about those residents who choose to buy the safe and sane fireworks, use precaution. If you use them clear of flammable materials, you will do so relatively safely. Read the directions on the box. Certainly calfire, the number one priority is protecting people and property and structures from burning. I imagine, youve steen a number of pretty bad injuries as a result of people horsing around with fireworks. Yeah, absolutely. Each year we respond to hundreds of fires and medical emergencies due to fireworks. Last year in napa county, we had a fire just near yolo county and napa, the monticello fire started on july 4th. Burned 6400 acres. Caused injuries to five injuries. But the biggest threat are the illegal fireworks, those not considered safe and sane. Each year we confiscate anywhere from 75 to 100,000 pounds of illegal fireworks and we have a zero tom rans toward illegal fire tom rans toward illegal tolerance toward illegal fireworks. Make sure you buy those fireworks in the areas where they are allowed. The fact that the fourth of july falls on a saturday. Its the middle of the weekend. Is that of extra concern to you . You know, wherever fourth of july fall, we see a huge uptick in responses incidents we respond to. A lot of people understand the dangers, especially this year with the fire risk. They will be taking those extra precautions. Thats what we want to emphasize that you can use safe and sane fireworks in those communities where they are allowed but you have to take the precautions. Are we concerned . Obviously, yes, with the drought. But if we can all do our part to be safe one less spark this fourth of july means one less wildfire. And enforcement will be very high on the actual 4th of july. I imagine people want to use up the fireworks they bought in the days and weeks following so i cant imagine you are letting down your guard july 5th. Well be in total control. Sheriffs departments will be on the road patrolling for illegal fireworks. Fireworks are only allowed two days after the fourth of july. At july 6th at noon, fireworks are no longer allowed to be used here in california. So if you have not used them, you will have to save them up until next year. But well be full enforcement after that, again, even if you purchase them legally and they are safe and sane, if you have them and you use them after the july 6th date, those are considered illegal and the fines here and the punishments are very steep. You could face up to a 50,000 fine depending upon what you have in your possession and even a year in jail. It bears repeating. Im sure well do just that. Thank you for joining us. One more note, well remind you of the flex alert thats going to go back into alert. Turn off unnecessary lights and hold off on using major appliances, dishwasher, during peak hours from 2 00 p. M. To 9 00 p. M. The main concern is air conditioning. Keep your thermostat at 78 degrees or higher. A flex alert is issued to reduce strain on the system and to help prevent plaqueouts. We continue the opinion financial crisis in greece coverage. Up next, a possible bailout plan. Female announcer when you see this truck it means another neighbor is going to sleep better tonight. But sleep trains ticket to tempurpedic event ends sunday. Find the tempurpedic thats right for you and see why theyre the most highly recommended bed in america. Plus, get up to four years interestfree financing. Sleep riskfree with sleep trains 100day money back guarantee. And of course, free sameday delivery. Are you next . Announcer but dont wait sleep trains ticket to tempurpedic event ends sunday. Your ticket to a better nights sleep if we get two full moons this month. We had the first one is actually 7 19 tonight. Well have another one on the 31st. 7 19 p. M. Tonight. But it was easy to see this morning under mostly clear skies. Thats not the case now. Theres fog, some sunbreaks. 60s already upper 70s for some. It will be very warm to hot. I think theres enough high clouds coming in that will take the edge of some of these off some of these terps. Theres rain. Bakersfield has rain. I think a lot of cloud cover is poised to move in. It will still be warm to hot and humid. By the coast, 60s and 70s. The system will give us a lot of cloud cover the next few days. Looking for temperatures, 60s, spent, 80s, 90s to 100s. But i penciled in a lot based on cloud cover. I went less cloud cover but if it comes in thicker, more like 96, 97. Not much consolation but i dont think it will be warmer than yesterday. 60s, 70s, 80s and also 90s and mostly cloudy. Cloudy with possible rain or thundershowers and then cooler by the weekend. So a big change today. Still one more hot day then major changes a he we go into the next few days. Alex . Good morning. Unfortunately, still quite a bit of slow traffic for all of my friends who are making the ride through the east bay today. Im gonna get you down to the toll plaza so you can see what we are dealing with here. I will tell you what, the toll plaza has improved somewhat. It looks as though all of those folks trying to get on the bay bridge and into the city are doing a little bit better right now. But let me take you now over to instate 880 in oakland. Getting to the toll plaza, thats another matter. You can see quite a bit of sluggish traffic as you move northbounded on 880 toward downtown oakland. And then here we go to the maps and you can see what were talking about. When i say it will be tough getting to the maze, you can see 80 almost from pinole, that area coming through richmond, coming west down through berkeley, a lot of very slow traffic and then, you know, just getting to the maze and the toll plaza gonna be still quite difficult here as we move toward 9 00. 8 46 is the time. I go back to gasia and brian. All right. Thank you. Developing story continues to be greece. Pam cook in the studio now with the conflicting reports this morning about a bailout plan for that country. Yeah, the greek Prime MinisterJust Announced in the last halfhour that he is Standing Firm and will wait for the referendum on sunday before further negotiations over a bailout package. In the meantime, the greek people are paying the price. Translator i worked for 40 years and now ive ended up begging for money. The long lines continue outside of greek banks with retirees, especially worried because they have not received their full pension for the month. Some branches have reopened today but reportedly, only for pensioners who do not have atm cards. Everyone limited to 60 euros a day from the money machines. Many of those atms have run out of cash. Theres talk that the greek government has indicated to its creditors that it may accept terms of a bailout package if they are part of a broader deal to address the funding needs for the next two years. We need to write some of the debt down and then well be able to grow on the other side. Hes talking about the International Monetary fund, the European Union. Greeks will vote on sunday on whether to accept proposals from creditors in order to access bailout funding and no decision could lead greece out of the eurozone. In the last halfhour, the Prime Minister of greece announcing that the government will wait for that vote on sunday. He says, the popular vote is more important than the decisions of the government. But gasia and brian, economists are saying, really even that vote regardless of the outcome is gonna provide little more uncertainly of what happens next.
