Oakland is going to reach up to 87 degrees. We will talk more about this coming up. Mike, how is that looking for the commute . Well, pretty good, kari, but i have to call out the east bay, because looking at the map, there is a green view of the sen source, but over here in freemont, northbound and 680 at the bend of washington and irving, showing the northbound slowing there with a crash perhaps caused by debris, and a larger boulder is reported in the roadways heading past washington and you can see the Speed Sensors changing. Meanwhile in the same area as usual, we have the westbound commute from 580 and highway 84. In the same area, marcus, i hand it back to you. All right. Staying on the breaking news for you, and this is the fires ripping through parts of the bay area, and in some cases coming dangerously close to homes, and prompting evacuation, and all of this is happening in the extreme degree temperatures, and talking about 100 degrees or higher in some place, and taking you to sunol where the marsh fire is burning, and dale is there live this morning, and this is a quest that is hard to follow with just the heat out there, bob. Good morning, marcus. We are out here in sunol where the wilderness preserve is down there, and in terrain that we cannot access. But i got off of the phone with cal fire, and they have not received an update from the numbers, and this fire has burned 1,700 acres and last report they had zero containment, and ten homes are under mandatory evacuation, and several more homeowners are in mill creek road, and they have been prepared that they may have to eevacuate, and it is going t be a hot one and not easy for the people who provide the power. And we are being warned to conserve energy for the hot temps or we could see the rolling blackouts lasting one or two hours with little to no notice, and that is the same notice for the last few days. And they have decided against the blackouts yesterday saying that the lower temps, and people conserving at home during the hours of 3 00 to 10 00 p. M. Helped to keep the electricity on. Governor newsom issued an emergency proclamation to issue that Large Energy Companies are shifting to the backup sources, and Governor Newsom said that it is unacceptable that the state failed to predict for this crisis. We will get to the bottom of it, and lay out in detailed terms to make sure that this simply does not happen again. Reporter in a tweet last night, mayor sam liccardo blamed the rolling blackouts on pg es poor infrastructure which is caused by years of negligent, and underinvestment. He says that the shutoffs are due to meet the high power needs statewide and not due to pg es equipment, and they cite the recordbreaking heat wave and lightning activity. Bob redell for today in the bay. Also breaking right now, the firefighters are battling two major wildfires in napa county, and the largest is prompting evacuations and threatening hundreds of buildings.

San jose leaders will debate the release of police video that is tied to chaotic protests that were happening earlier in the summer. In some cases the things became tense between officers and activists angry over to death of george floyd. The release of the video is tied to a broader push for Police Reform in san jose. The oakland Mayors Office so far, and not responding to a scathing new federal report tied to a Deadly Police shooting in march of 2018. The officers killed joseph pollock, and a homeless man, and police say they had a gun nearby and posed a threat to officers. Now, the new report from the federal auditor finds that the report had gaps which the chief had never questioned before signing off. Later, released a statement calling the report purposely misleading arguing that the shooting was within policy. And that report cites that mayor libby schaaf calling the shooting harmful but lawful. And the death of an 18yearold shooting in the canyon as he was helping a woman with her groceries. Hundreds gathered to remember a young man who planned to attend college and play baseball. The coach who watched him grow up said it is like losing a son. After every practice, every game, no matter how good he did or how bad he did, he would walk up to each coach, and extend his hand out and tell them thank you, coach, and the coaches were appreciative of him, and not many kids do that. The deputies arrested the 23yearold suspect Christopher Young after tracking him down from the car parked near the shooting scene. Continuing the coronavirus coverage, some good news this morning for santa cruz county, because it is now off of the governors watch list and meaning that the closures can be scaled back a little bit. At the same time five more counties have been added to list including mendocino, and sierra counties and all but 16 of the states 58 counties seen here on the list right there are now on that list. Sonoma county supervisors are going to be voting today on extending the sick leave from all private employees who have 500 or more employees. Meanwhile, more unemployed californians are going to be taking advantage of the program that extends jobless benefits by another 20 weeks. It is called the fed ed program, and it is separate from the e. D. D. Funding, and so far, some 30 million have been paid out by the fed ed program. And today, leaders in campbell are going to consider extending the Outdoor Dining rules. For the last few months, the streets have been closed, and now councilmembers will vote to extend the street Closure Program until the end of august. And now, if the weather will cooperate for the restaurants who need to make a little bit of money, but it is hot by the afternoon to be out there, kari. Yes, it has been so hot in the past several days, and it looks like no major changes in the weather pattern. What is changing is the moisture that has brought us two mornings of storms has pushed to the bay area, and now as we are looking at what is left behind due to the fires that were sparked due to the lightning, and well, we have unhealthy air quality due to the drifts coming into today and the east bay and Santa Clara Valley, and i will be monitoring that as well as the temperatures, and mike, how is that looking as the drivers are looking to go out of the door . A typical pattern except for here in freemont. Looking at the map, and stretch here at northbound 680 pushing the curve over to washington district, and folks know that you will see the hillside, and looking at a rock in road and a car that hit it, so maybe a lane blocked with that car that hit it. And you will see the toll plaza and the same thing in the span. And back to you. All right. Thank you, mike. Former full house star Lori Loughlin is days away from being sentenced in the College Admissions scandal. And what punishment argued for the judge to accept. And elon musk has 8 million reasons to be happy this Tuesday Morning. Plus from gaming to shopping, a breakdown of the average amount of time that we all spend on our mobile devices. Dance, dance, dance the pitch is still perfect and a look at the cast reunion and how Pitch Perfect cast members are pitching in during the pandemic. Summer is over, but a majority of the kids will not be headed back to the classroom this month. How do you deal with the shortcomings of Teaching Online and let the kids be kids . There is no replacement for inperson learning. It is a Pivotal Moment for education. I cannot see the kids and this is hard. If you are feeling anxious, you are not alone. We know that teaching is a labor of love and we appreciate the efforts that you make for our kids. Awesome internet. Its more than just fast. It keeps all your devices running smoothly. With builtin security that protects your kids. No matter what theyre up to. It protects your info. And gives you 24 7 peace of mind. That if its connected, its protected. Even that that petcamera thingy. [ whines ] can your internet do that . Xfinity xfi can because its. Simple, easy, awesome. [ barking ] this Tuesday Morning right now at 5 14 and we will get you out of the door ready for the commute this morning headed out to east bay from antioch, and we will see the temperatures in the mid70s to start this morning. Another hotday as we reach into the mid90s by noon. We will take a look at the microclimates and more heat in the forecast coming up. And while we track that hennessey fire and we will look at san rafael, and look at the volume of traffic on highway 101 is moving smoothley and is unaffected as far as the fire goes. Good morning and a very happy tuesday to you as well. I hope that your day is going well so far, and it is probably not going as well as elon musks and i will give you 8 billion reasons why that is. Tesla stock jumped 11 yesterday, and that and some new funding for musks other company spacex means that he is 8 billion richer overnight and catapults him to the fourth richest person in the world, and the three above him are household names, bezos and zuckerburg and gates. So we are all a little bit richer with the 401 k as the nasdaq hit a new record yesterday. S p 500 are close to a record. These are the numbers home depot and walmart reporting the profits before the opening bell, and both measured on the dow. Home depot says that the sales were far above what they expected and perhaps as people are staying home to fix up the homes. Uber and lyft have until the day after tomorrow to adhere to the judges decisions to make the drivers employees under the california ab 500 gig law, and uber and lyft said they will suspend operations if they have to. And oracle is interested in buying tiktok. We knew that microsoft was, but oracle is a huge surprise. Now, the u. S. Government has all but said that the Chinese Company that owns tiktok has to sell it. Oracle makes Database Software and Customer Service software and how tiktok would fit in there is a mystery, and now oracles founder Larry Ellison is a trump supporter, and so perhaps that is part of it, but lauren and marcus how the dance moves and silly moves will fit into the Oracle Business model is a mystery to me. Get your attention some kind of way. Thank you, scott. It is 5 17 and look up from the phone, because there is something that you may have an idea about, because everybody is spending more time staring at the screen. Consumers have spent 1. 6 trillion hours in the First Six Months on 2020. And they spent 27 of the waking hours on their mobile devices in april. And that is more than four hours a day. And people spent about 50 billion on new mobile devices as well. Well, trending this morning, the Barden Bellas are back, and the stars of the Pitch Perfect movies came together to sing together for a great cause. It is you the one i love youre the one i need youre the only one right there, anna kendrick, and rebel wilson and ther cast members covered beyonces love on top to raise money for unicef to help people impacted by the explosion in beirut along with covid19 relief. That video has been seen more than 200,000 times so far. Right as we are telling people that everybody is watching the mobile devices and, hey, take a look at this. And maybe on your mobile device possibly. Yes. And there a lot of entertaining things out there, too, but lately, you want to find a cool spot to relax. Absolutely. It has been really hot, and we have to settle in and get used to the heat, because i am not seeing a lot of changes here even as the humidity drops just slightly for today as we are looking at the hourbyhour forecast to help you make plans for today and it will be the coolest earliest in the day even though we are starting out warm. We are heading at lunchtime to 91, and in san jose, we are at 92. And yes, this is at lunchtime today, and we will continue to heat up more from there as we are going into the middle of the day, and we are at 106 there in concord, and 103 in napa, and San Francisco. Well see some upper 70s for today, and while we go into the evening hours, and if you want to head out then, it is still in the triple digits to the inland east bay toward solano as well, and concord at 101 degrees at 7 00 this evening, and so as we are looking at what is happening here very hot weather due to some pressure that is causing the record heat across the region, and clockwise pressure across the area, and heat pumped across the area, and the High Pressure across the area, and we have seen the storms and the lightning, and while it is beautiful to see, we know that it is going to cause some wildfires over the last several days, and as we go to the end of the week, that tropical moisture is going to south, and that desert heat is going to continue through the next several days, and we wont see the changes in the forecast and continue to monitor this, and take a look at the forecast coming up. And mike, any issues for the drivers coming up . Yeah, kari, we are following this issue in freemont, and we will take you out there and show you 680, and the Speed Sensors are going across the bend, and toward sunol and washington irving, and it is looking like it should clear up, but meanwhile, the direction is out of the commute, and the Altamont Pass. Overall, everything is great on the speed sen source and the live look at the bay bridge is showing a great flow of traffic, but it is starting to build it a little bit. We are tracking it, marcus. Back to you. Thank you, mike. And up next on nbc in the bay area, nba responds. He bought a microwave oven, but what he got was a mess in the kitchen. Nba bay area responds. And it is the time of the year that we love for one of our favorite events. Nba bay area teams up with the clear the Shelters Campaign for the entire month of august. Good morning. Patch things up quite literally and take a look at the photos from tom gomez who says that the holes in his kitchen wall were made by contractors hired by home depot to remove his old microwave and install a new one. Besides the holes, they broke the glass panel on the microwave and scratched the range. So he asked home depot to make it right and when that did not happen, he turned to us. We asked home depot what happened and they did work with the contractor the fix the wall and replace the microwave and gave him a replacement range for 385. 89, and kudos to tom for taking the photos. And when you have any work done in your home, takes lots of photos of what is being done, and they can be essential in resolving any dispute that arises. Are you stewing over a problem . Give us a call at 888996tips or let us know at n nbcbayarea. Com responds. Many businesses have had to close because of the pandemic, and according to yelp, it is near 100,000, and that is according to yelp so the real number is probably much higher. The party and on campus classes are going on. This is a party at the school that went viral, and 135 students have now been infected and the university is canceling inperson classes. New for you this morning, the chancellor is speaking to nbc, and he says that he is surprised how quickly the virus spread on campus. When things started to happen off campus and bringing it back into the residence halls, that is when we began to see the positive ca of the spread.
