Community to bear. Reporter oakland councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan sits on the air quality district board. She wants the district to look at Health Impacts before issuing a permit. She gave us this graphic. The crematorium is here. East oakland is highlighted in red. This shows that we have the highest pollution levels, the greatest cancer risk and risk of other diseases for this community right around this crematorium. Reporter aside from air pollution, four asian workers at the business across the street quit their job saying its bad funshwa. In areas that are affluent and where there are more white residents this would never happen. Reporter the air quality district puts the blame on the city of oakland. Thats because even though the city Council Voted down the crematorium, the Planning Department actually gave a land use permit to the company before that vote and a judge says this council cannot backtrack.

That west coast ridge sets up shop it can be tough to break down. We will get high clouds today and down in Southern California for most theres still an easterly or a northeast component, that has not changed. The wind speeds are not as strong as they have been but they are still out of the north for most, or northeast and with the higher clouds still mild on the temps. We get a few high clouds, you can see snows sneaking up so more towards the peninsula, down in santa cruz mountains, santa clara valley, Southern California, deal with some of the offshore breezes, higher clouds, not going to produce any rain. I wouldnt be surprised if they extended the red flag warning. 32 in walnut creek. Pinole at 55 degrees.

That the explosion took place on a subway platform. Now, we have referred repeatedly that the bomber was injured but getting conflicting reports about how many other people may have been injured. There are a number of subway and transit lines running through that area, which is, as you can tell, a potential soft target. Now, police say there are major changes and disruptions to most of the subway and bus lines. Passengers have been evacuated as a precaution. Investigators and a Large Police Presence still in place on alert for the possibility of further incidents. We are continuing to monitor social media as well as our affiliate there in new york city trying to get the very latest on this explosion.

We will continue monitoring those developments and bring them to you throughout the morning. T
Or along the waters edge. A weak system coming in from the west. And i mean very weak, will give us a few high clouds, as well. The wind speeds are down. Thats the one good news, but its still very dry, and that easterly breeze looks like it will continue most of the week, probably. I really dont see much change unless we get some cloud cover. A lot of those higher clouds will filter in from san jose south. 30s, 40s, and 150s. Locations very warm. There are some that are cold. Upper 20s in occidental. There is your easterly breeze coming in from the delta, over san pablo bay, over towards the coast. I dont see much change in this pattern. 60s in the temperatures to a few near 71 degrees. The traffic is, sal . Just what you would expect. Slow traffic, although just a little better on 80 westbound, steve. 36minute drive. Not great, but about normal, maybe a little less than normal, but certainly not light. Its not light, but at least its not 65 minutes, or 50 minutes, Something Like that
