Orinda. More detail that sounds less dramatic, highway 24 before you get to the caldecott tunnel, orinda side westbound commute. A crash reported. It does sound like this car went off the roadway and got wedged between the tree and a part of the fencing there, but the other vehicle involved wasnt quite as dramatic with regard to the speeds involved earlier. The rest of the bay shows a smooth drive. We send it over to marcus. Thanks, mike. Happening tonight a strain on the system especially muni, because for the first time there will be dual major events at the chase center and oracle park. At 6 45 the giants play the pirates at oracle park and somewhere around fourth inning, Dave Matthews band will get a taste of the acoustics at chase center, just a couple of blocks away. So today in the bays thom jensen is live at chase center. Thom, this was one of the fears some people had before the chase center was even built. Reporter it certainly was and this will give us a peek at what it could be like, albeit not worst case scenario. You could imagine if there were dual events say the giants in an october playoff series along with the warriors playing or a packed concert venue all at the same time, that could be a real test, but this will give us our first look at the dual events, and here is a look at why this is a concern. We take a look at both venues. Oracle arena and the chase center are about a mile apart, so not far apart, and they share one muni line. Concertgoers can take free shuttle buses from the 16th Street Mission b. A. R. T. Station to chase center. Concert tickets also serve as muni 60s so fans can get to and from the area with ease. Last friday night muni had its first real test when metallica played at chase center, the first public event it was sold out and fans seemed to heed the warnings not to drive to the conce concert. It was widely reported without a hitch and without traffic jams. We took b. A. R. T. And muni. It was crowded. I was shocked there was only a onecar train given the size of the crowd but otherwise it was pretty smooth. Reporter there will be more challenges with these dual events, later this week, eric clapton performs at chase Center Tomorrow night and friday, elton john is here. The giants are also playing at home both nights. Tomorrow night against the pirates again, and then friday they host the florida marlins, and of course, parking is always a concern down in this area, so unless you have parking plans, it is recommended that you use public transportation. Were live in San Francisco, thom jensen, today in the bay. Certainly a busy time in the city, thom, thanks. Maybe traffic wont be as bad tonight. Turns out crowds these days are actually getting smaller at giants games, thats partly because the team is now out of the pennant race. Yesterdays games saw the giants lose to pittsburgh 64, was actually the smallest crowd in nine years, with around 26,000 fans. Attendance is down nearly 20 since the same time last year. Todays special Congressional Election in North Carolina had President Trump on the campaign trail last night. The president is stumping for the republican candidate in a race that could reveal clues about next years election. Today in the bays Craig Boswell live on capitol hill for us this morning with more. Good morning, craig. Laura, good morning. Good morning, everyone. A lot of eyeballs on this special election in North Carolina today. President trump as you mentioned stumping there last night. Congress is back in session battling over major issues but the president spending some time in that battleground state for a congressional candidate. Mr. President , were not tired of winning. Reporter a special election today in North Carolina is getting special attention from President Trump. Our first task is a giant victory. Reporter the president stumping for the gop candidate last night trying to keep the congressional seat in republican hands. And winning back the house in 2020. Reporter but the race is also seen as an early indication of the president s 2020 chances, where poor performance in a red leaning state could be a warning sign. The senate will come to order. Reporter meantime, congress is back in session, as democrats continue a push for impeachment. Now the inquiry is getting more serious and its time to have very specific procedures. Reporter new controversies involving mr. Trumps businesses and publicly encouraging people to stay at his hotels, something he denies.

Reporter republicans and democrats again beginning the debate over gun safety legislationnd expanding background checks for gun purchases. If this bill is not passed, Mitch Mcconnell and the republicans in the senate and the president will have hell to pay. Reporter a deeply divided congress needing to agree on a new spending bill to avoid a possible Government Shutdown in three weeks. Craig boswell, nbc news, washington. Gun control will also be a hot topic today in the south bay, thats where we expect to learn more about a new gun ordinance passed by Santa Clara County supervisors approved after the gilroy mass shooting. Its expected to include new restrictions on storing firearms. The county will also look into a new Program Providing free trigger locks and rebates for safe storage containers. And the San Jose Sharks meanwhile are helping raise money for garlic festival shooting victims. Several players last night hosted a meet and greet at gilroy victims memorial building. The sharks will also host a fan fest later this month to assist victims. Happening today, fremont leaders plan to select a location for the citys first homeless navigation center. Two locations being considered, one near city hall, the other near a nursery at the north end of town. Both plans are getting some resistance from people who live nearby. Opponents are dealing with a new legal seth back. A judge denied a request for a temporary restraining order to block the navigation center. The judge also agreed to hear more arguments two weeks from now. The city is going full steam ahead in its plans to build the center, arguing something has to be done with theigh Homeless Population in that area. Opponents fear it will increase crime. Happening today, Santa Clara County may step in to help victims of Sexual Assault, where one supervisor says the state is failing them. The state budget does not set aside money for Rape Crisis Centers across the state, as it did last year. There was a 5 million onetime allotment for all 58 california counties, so supervisor cindy chavez says the county should spend 600,000 to make sure that the resources remain available for anyone who is victimized, from the moment they arrive at the hospital or call 911 through their court hearing. I think one of the most important things that we can address right now at a local level is really accepting leadership and responsibility for creating the safest environment we can for all of our community. The Sexual Assault is so prevalent for both women, children, both male and female, and some men. Its such a significant problem that at the very least, we have to step up and address it. Supervisors will meet to debate the plan later this morning. Starting next year, any drinks ordered in union city will no longer have Plastic Straws. According to the mercury news city leaders approved the ban last night. Union city is the latest city to ban Plastic Straws.

Wendys says its going to start serving breakfast, add 20,000 new jobs to handle the extra work. A new abc News Washington post poll shows six in ten americans expect a recession next year. Nobody can predict a recession perfectly but it can be a selffulfilling prophecy. The American Consumer is the most important part of the American Economy, and if they get uneasy, if they start slowing down at stores just in case, that can actually create an economic downturn. But for now were doing great. The jobs numbers that we got on friday show nearly every american who wants a job has a job, full employment. The Washington Post has gone through those jobs numbers with the fine tooth comb and discovered something really cool. Since 2016 the American Economy has added 5. 2 million new jobs, 4. 5 million went to people of color. A majority of them women of color.

The attorney general for the District Of Columbia points out they come from red states, they come from blue states, but they all have a common target. This is an unusual setting right here. Im next to friends of mine who i vehemently disagree with on issues like immigration, reproductive rights, gun rights, and other issues, certainly health care, but we are acting as one today in regards to launching what i know will be a fair and full investigation that will follow as attorney general paxton said, the facts. Now 48 states, two are missing, they are alabama and california and i have talked to the Alabama Attorney General Office and California Attorney General Office. California maybe has its own case or its own issue it is working on but that is pure, you know, reporter analysis is what it is. Thats my reporter analysis, having covered thisser ufor so long. Good deal. Thank you. Thanks, scott. 5 16 for you right now. Madonna is xing out cell phones at her shows. If you plan to see her at her shows in San Francisco in october and november, know that you will not be able to use your cell phones. So the Material Girl will require everyone in attendance to store their phones in a pouch that puts them on lockdown, using a magnetic device. The same ban applies to all stops on her world tour. Tickets for the San Francisco shows go on sale on friday. That will be interesting, because you know, everyones always got their phones. Right. Its interesting, because one side you look at it, what if someone has to call me. Like an emergency. Right but ive heard a lot of artists say that cell phones are probably one of the best things you can have for a concert because you have 18,000, to test online, advertisement for the next show and for your songs. Madonna doesnt get any publicity. Not at all. As a mom who has to hire a babysitter, i am not doing that. Im like okay, thats a deal breaker. Exactly. Its really important. Good thing we didnt have concerts before cell phones. All right. Lets get out the door this morning. As we get a live look outside in San Francisco, and we can see those clouds rolling by. Its still going to be a cloudy day today, cool and at times drizzling with some breezy winds, but as you get up and take a look at this sevenday forecast, its already up at the bottom of the screen. Yes, we are going to be heating up as we go throughout the next several days. As you get out the door for the morning commute in brentwood we have low 70s by 11 00 and throughout the rest of the day our temperatures will be warming up into the low 80s, and were only looking at highs in the low 80s today, in some of our warmer spots like antioch there reaching 83 and napa expect a high of 81. Ukiah 80 degrees. San francisco at 67. This has been a nice little break from that hot weather, and youll want to get out and enjoy it at the giants game, its going to be right at about 69 degrees. Were at 67 at 7 00, and then 64 degrees at 8 00 this evening, and it will still be breezy so make sure youre dressed appropriately. Here is a look at what were seeing as far as our weather setup. So theres been a couple of storm systems moving across the pacific northwest. Theyve been getting a lot of rain. Were getting the cooler temperatures, and were also going to keep that coastal drizzle. As we go throughout the next several days even though the storm systems continue to roll across the areas just to our north, High Pressure will begin to build and thats going to keep it way away from the bay area. Our temperatures will be heating up and were not going to see that onshore wind flow that helps cool us off. So were going from the low 80s today in the valleys to 90 tomorrow, then some upper 90s on thursday. Our temperatures peak on friday, that will be theottest day weve seen in quite a while, and then were gradually coming back down from the end of the weekend into early next week, and some upper 60s today in San Francisco, but its going to be warming up there as well. Were looking at low 80s on friday, but then coming back to the 70s on saturday. Mike, youve been tracking the roads and it looks so far pretty good. Looks great on these sensors for the major highways, and thats great news for the mog coute. Were tracking that crash highway 24 just off the freeway, on the jr. Inda side.
