That wrongway driver was headed down northbound 85 when it collided headon with the driver of the honda civic, roughly at the central expressway overpass this occurred. We know the driver of the honda civic was a 35yearold man from american canyon. The suv registered in Mountain View as i mentioned it caught fire and we have learned that driver was a woman. What do you expect was going on with the wrongway driver . Why were they driving the wrong direction . Its hard to say. Wrongway drivers are typically caused by impairment. It can sometimes be confusion, but based on the time of day, it could have been anything right now. We dont have anything firmly indicating that, but in general, wrongway drivers do tend to be impaired drivers or those who are kind of confused. Reporter chp says at least two other drivers avoided hitting that wrongway driver but their calls to 911 did not arrive until after this accident again which was around 1 00 this morning. If youre commuting in the south bay all lanes of northbound 85 at evelyn have been reopened. Reporting live here in Mountain View, bob redell, today in the bay. Okay, good news at least for commuters out there. And mike has been watching that effect on the commute, thats good news. We have an open highway there. Thats right, so fortunately bob covered things so quickly at the scene that i didnt have time to change this, folks, opening to open, to reopen, going from red to orange now through the area northbound 85 again full access, cupertino, sunnyvale, Mountain View toward northbound 101, just as that portion recovers we see some more slowing just starting up for this portion of 101 in san jose, right by 680. Thats the traditional pattern on a friday. We zoom out because we have another Traffic Alert continuing, this is coming in to san leandro, out of hayward and Castro Valley, north 238, north 880 jammed up because at Marina Boulevard we had for a short period of time all lanes affected by a crash, a box truck, a trailer, the trailer had a boat on it but it was not attached to anything, blocking yurg fast lanes. Northbound 880 at marina the Traffic Alert continues. North of san leandro everything is fine toward the bay bridge. The bay bridge is the bay bridge. Wow, all right. Backed up. Its going to be a hot day. We are under a microclimate weather alert. A heat advisory in effect for all of these areas shaded in orange, thats going to go into effect from 11 00 this morning until 7 00 this evening, hot temperatures again today. Its also a spare the air alert day, if you can, catch transit on your way to work. It will be in the low 60s heading out to the dublin b. A. R. T. Station and in the trivalley, were going to have some really hot temperatures, look at this trend going straight up, reaching the mid90s by early afternoon and as we look at all of our microclimates, our temperatures going at noon into the low 90s in the inland east bay, as well as the north bay, but we will see some triple digits here by livermore, danville, as well as concord and in morgan hill. Were going to have one really hot day but we have some relief in the forecast. Ill show you that, its coming up in about six minutes. We wish the relief was coming sooner rather than later. Thousands are about to experience that extreme heat that kari is talking about. Theres a big festival going on in the south bay. Kris sanchez joins us live in downtown san jose. A lot of people want to go to this, like a free concert but you got to be prepared, right, kris . Reporter yes, you definitely have to be prepared. Arena green is set up and ready to go, we expect its going to be maybe even hotter than 100 degrees out here, so if youre planning to be outside here in san jose or anywhere around the bay, make sure you hydrate before hand. Never wait until youre thirsty to drink water and since it is the weekend well mention that alcohol doesnt quite count as hydration. If your kids are playing sports, make sure they have ten gulps of water per 20 minutes of play, a gulp is about an hr of water. So about 16 ounces over an hour. Avoid strenuous activity, dont exercise outside if you can help it, and take breaks indoors if you can. Check out this graphic on your screen, on the lefthand side the symptoms of heat exhaustion, feeling faint or dizzy, sweating excessively, with cold, clammy skin, exhaustion can make you nauseous and crampy. If you feel this way, get out of the heat, drink some water, take a cold shower, use cold wash cloths but if you feel the symptoms of heat stroke, or see the signs in someone else, its time to call 911. The signs no sweating, headache, vomiting or loss of consciousness. If your plan to beat the heat is head to San Francisco or the beach, its going to be hot there as well. Heat related illnesses can double during heat waves. Its easy to get numb to it and think eh, its just 90, there are people in georgia who have it worse, but for us in San Francisco, we really want to encourage people to take it seriously. So this whole festival here to celebrate the 25st anniversary of the s. A. P. Center and Blake Shelton is going to be headlines. It is a free event so we expect there will be a lot of people headed out here. But the festival runs from 2 00 in the afternoon until 7 00 in the evening when the heat advisory is in effect and well feel the peak temperatures. Be sure you are prepared, drink water ahead of time and take precautions because we dont want to report on anybody being sick because of the heat. Kris sanchez, today in the bay. Thank you, kris.

Ill take a square foot if i could get one. Get the neighbor to move that track. With the groo greaffiti on t front. Ambience. Its an art car. An art car. Love em. Its going to be hot. And so if you dont have air conditioning it will be rough today so as we get started this morning, getting ready to head out the door, were making preparations as we now still have some cool temperatures, getting ready for that hot day. Here is a live look outside from our San Bruno Mountain camera. We are still going to have the drifts of smoke coming by and that reduces our air quality, and that will mostly be the case for the inland east bay, as well as the south bay, unhealthy air quality today, due to some wildfires farther to the north, kind of drifting in, and its also a day where we advise everyone to catch public transit, if you can, and Pleasant Hill start out in the low 60s as you head to the b. A. R. T. Station. Well be at 73 degrees at 9 00 and then some mid90s for early afternoon. Youll want to find some air conditioning, because our High Temperatures in the south bay 97 downtown, but up to 102 in game r gilroy and the east bay highs over 100 degrees. Antioch 102. We may set a new record today in concord, were expecting it to reach 102 today, and also hayward may tie the record High Temperature of 94 degrees. For the peninsula we have mid90s here for palo alto and redwood city. San francisco in the upper 80s in the Mission District and the embarcadero, and the north bay up to 98 in santa rosa, ukiah today reaching 100 degrees. We do have some relief in the forecast, all because of a storm system to our north that could start to drop in, headed in toward the end of the weekend and it looks like by sunday were seeing more clouds. Monday there could be some spotty showers in the north bay, but it does look like its kind of falling apart, may not reach much of the bay area but nice to have that chance to start out the week and it will also help cool us off and clear out the air from the wildfires recently. As we go through the forecast drastic changes ahead, going from summer to fall all in the span of a couple of days. reoing from 101 today to 96 tomorrow, 83 on su, and then north bay chance of showers on monday with highs all across the bay area in the mid70s. Also hot in San Francisco today, but some relief coming this weekend. Mike, now you still have that boat on the nimitz . That is correct. Now i know the nimitz is the name of a larger ship, but were talking about the nimitz the freeway and smaller boat, nice size but not for being on the freeway, blocking your fast lane by crews trying to clear it. The boat is on the flatbed now. It was on a trailer on the suv that was pulling it, involved in a crash with a box truck. It looks like theyve gotten other vehicles out of the area, and so now folks traveling north on the nimitz are looking headon toward a boat thats a curious case that will cause some slowing as you see folks are slowing and the remaining four lanes to get through the area, chp on the shoulder as well and there is presumably the box truck involved in the original crash. We look at this slowing, now out to the map, this is north 880 traveling up to marina. Once you jump on at davis youre clear getting toward the bay bridge there say problem coming out of Castro Valley, north 238 slow the entire way from 580 and 580 westbound is clear. If you can choose between 880 and 580, choose 580, thats clear as a bell, so is the rest of 580 and 680 at the dublin interchange. The disabled vehicle in palo alto and menlo park not causing much of an issue, dumbarton bridge getting toward highway 101 and the south bay. Slowing north 101, a build for 87 but 85 the earlier Traffic Alert has cleared at the sunnyvale Mountain View border. Travel times toward the bay bridge, thats the slowing, the result of the slowing north i
