Theres a look at the sunrise over walnut creek. We will have low 60s to start but a quick warmup by noon. The south bay getting a boost of a few more degrees with morgan hill reaching 86. Well talk about what is ahead for the weekend coming up. Mike, theres lots of roadwork out there. Thats right. Theres less now that some folks have cleared from palo alto. Its typical in sports like palo alto where the morning commute is clearing. We have crews sticking around in areas of the bay, and were tracking all of those. No problems reported and you see the green sensors. Getting towards the bay bridge is great, and some folks can go down the 580, no problem. At the bay bridge toll plaza, theres a little build. Back to you. And now an attempt to stop fare invaders. Today in the bay bob redell live for us this morning. Bob, how have things been going so far with the new gates . Marcus, for the past month Richmond Bart has been stacking the gates to detour riders from jumping over the top and not paying fair fare. Our cameras captured the teenagers sneaking through the gates at richmond pwaurtd, and one of the young women now faces charges of battery on a Police Officer. Bart finds itself in a tough situation. They are trying to stop fair evasion which costs the agency 125 million in revenue. Not all riders are fond of the new gates, especially those in wheelchairs. Theres not enough time there for me to always get through. They are horrible. Look at where they would hit somebody, a child, somebody in a wheelchair or a short person, somebody is going to get hurt by these things. We understand these concerns and we are encouraged by the fact nobody has been injured by these gates. Heres a look at the other version of the fare gate at fruitville bart. Bart will test out this design before a decision is made on what to install system wide. Yeah, losing 25 million a year, and we see why they want to make the gates more secure. Labor secretary acosta is defending himself and the deal he over saw for epstein in florida more than a decade ago. That deal is getting a lot of renewed scrutiny. And tara is live in washington, d. C. And so many folks are asking how can Something Like this happen . Thats a great question. Acosta is defending the plea bargain saying it was the only way to guarantee ebstein went to prison in 2008, but some disagree. Facts are important and facts are being overlooked. Defending the plea deal he over saw 11 years ago, saying ebstein would not have served any jail time had his office not stepped in. They were ready to let him walk free. But acosta is trying to rewrite history, and a draft of a federal indictment was abandoned after secret negotiations between ebsteins attorneys and acosta. Ebstein was sentenced to 13 months and registered as a sex offender and made financial restitution with the victims. Hourlong press conferences did little to quiet the course of democrats calling for his resignation. You choose child rapists over the victims in this indication. Happening today, the man police say has now admitted to plowing his car into a group of people in a hatemotivated attack is due to enter a plea. Eight people were hit and injured as they walked in the crosswalk. A 13yearold girl suffered critical injuries. Police arrested a man. A crossexamination in the ghost ship trial. A man admitted in court that he never got the proper permits for buildi. Nges he made to the almena said he didnt know he had to get permits and thought it was up to the owners, and a woman that lost her daughter says she does not buy it. Hes up there fighting for his life. Almena says he did not install smoke detectors or install a sprinkler system. These are the pictures we want to show you of the 2,000 acres. The navy is giving away the old concord navel station. The new park will have a visitors center, and new trails for hiking and biking. The public celebration will be held on saturday. Now you have your saturday plans. Right now a bill aimed at protecting sex workers is heading to the governors desk. The bill says possession of condoms may not be used as probable cause to arrest somebody on sex work charges. Encouraging safer sex and not discouraging sex workers from carrying condoms would improve public health. And then a man accused of nearly killing a Police Officer in 2013, he was assisting people when Authorities Say flanagan hit him with a stolen car. The San Francisco chronicle reports that the officer is still recovering after that hitandrun crash. Live to new orleans right here. The city bracing for a potential Tropical Storm that is brewing in the gulf of mexico. The problems have already started. This is new video of the streets in the French Quarter under inches of water, as you can see right there. The rain just keeps coming and tourists say they are stuck. Heres one man from los angeles who was there in the city for a conference. I am soaking wet and missing the beginning of my day trying to get across the street to the marriott, and i cant even get across the street to the ma marriott. They shutdown all public transportation. Its like a hurricane. A scary sight knowing what the city has already gone through. We want to bring in meet meet, kari hall. Not a hurricane brewing but a powerful storm. It is a powerful storm, hurricane or not. Its something we need to watch as we go into the next couple of days. Right now seeing a lot of clouds and rain in the gulf of mexico and this could develop into a tropical system in the next couple of days. Right now its taking the tracks of a category one hurricane. Either way this is expected to bring in a lot of heavy rain, anywhere from 10 to 20 more inches inches of rain, and new orleans could get the storm surge along with the rain. Near bodega bay, our water temperature is about 49 degrees. Around new orleans the water temperature is almost 89 degrees, so theres a lot of warmth and energy for this system to work with, and thats the reason why they are expecting a lot of intensification over the next couple of days. We will have more on that and bring it back home and look at our forecast in a few minutes. Kari, we are looking over here as all the cash lanes ow d opened up, and we see all lanes filling up at the end of the parking lot and building and the me metering lights being turned on in the next ten minutes. No other major problems. Back to you. Thanks, mike. 5 11 for you right now. Coming up, a kentucky drive mess. New images in just this morning of a restaurant completely destroyed. What we know about a rude awaking for People Living nearby. President trump constantly threatens to fire the head of the fed and he says hes not going anywhere. Well tell you more about it. How about a milestone for one San Francisco woman, the big event she is celebrating this week. Right now at 5 14, we are going to have a slightly warmer day ahead. If you are getting heady to head out in cupertino, and we will be in the upper 70s there. It will still be nice in parts of the bay area, but the east bay will feel it most. Looking at san jose, you see why the sensors are green. Wellspaced traffic flows here, and well show you how things are building up further in the east bay. Happy thursday as well. Marriott is going to pay a fine for adding all the resort fees to your bill above and beyond what you pay on expedia. Stocks soared ahead after the fed chairman testified before congress, and he made it pretty obvious more Interest Rate cuts are coming and he would not leave if President Trump tried to fire him. If you got a call from the president today or tomorrow and he said i am firing you, pack up, its time to go, what would you do . Well, of course i would not do that. I cant hear you. My answer would be no. The voice you heard off camera was californias maxine waters. President trump is threatening to fire powell if powell did not lower rates. We thought it was going to be about twitter and facebook, but twitter and facebook are not invited to the social media summit, and its a gathering of President Trumps social media supporters, those that post social media conservatives. She says facebook labeled her a dangerous person and she says that defamed her. We just posted a new episode of our podcast, san hill road. Success begats success, right . I also talked about the source of money in Silicon Valley in San Francisco. Some of the venture funds helping to start ups come from less than desirable sources, in what we call sovereign sources, where they want to reinvest their money so the money going into some of the startups are coming from places that you may not necessarily agree with the human rights. Well talk to john about that. That sounds good, because a lot of folks want to know where their money is. Absolutely. 5 17 for you right now. A major Birthday Celebration in San Francisco today. Lucy mirigian is turning 113 years old. Bless her heart. This is video from her 112th birthday, and a few years back the u. S. Government demanded proof she was still alive so she could continue to receive her pension. Happy birthday to miss lucy, 113 years young. When you make it to 113, you should get whatever she wants. Yeah, and thats a feat, 113. She has seen many beautiful weather days in the bay for sure. I wonder if she will be at the giants game . We are going to see slight warming in San Francisco. Heres a live look outside as the sun tries to come over the hills there, and heres a look high atop the fog in San Francisco. Right now in the city you cannot see anything with the sun coming up. Its a beautiful start to this thursday morning. If you are heading out the door in antioch, temperatures are nice and cool and at 64 degrees for the next couple of hours, but notice how we go from 64 at 6 00 to 83 at noon and we know its going to be hotter than yesterday. As you make plans to get outside we have a moderate amount of tree and grass pollen on the pollen report today so our temperatures are warming up for some of the south bay counties, part of the south bay county up to 70 degrees in gilroy today. We will have slightly warmer temperatures in concord and pittsburg. Even though the inland valleys will be heating up, the peninsula will stay cooler with Half Moon Bay at 60 today. San francisco reaching the upper 60s, and some 80s for much of the north bay. As we warm things up, as we go closer to the weekend, High Pressure builds and it will get more of an offshore wind flow going into saturday and sunday, but things change going into next week. The hot weather doesnt last that long. Upper 80s today in some spots and 90s in the next several days, and then next week back in the lower 80s. San francisco, just rising a few more degrees after we get more sunshine in the afternoon. We know we are going to see the build in places like the richmond side of the Richmond San Rafael bridge, and thats westbound 580 but we notice theres a construction crew and lights on the other side, and below the clouds we are looking at a smooth drive towards the bay bridge. The transition goes on out of the maze and towards the bridge in San Francisco. The maze looks nice, and the volume is increasing right there.
