All lanes of highway 280 are open, which is good news for holiday travelers. Earlier today, a brushfire closed two lanes of northbound traffic along the peninsula. The fire started this morning, burning near the 280 and 92 interchange, just west of belmont. Only about 15 acres burned before the fire was contained, but there was a lot of heavy smoke and lots of firefighting equipment on the lanes. Thats why they were closed. No word yet on how the fire started. Holiday weekend officially starting and weve got some winds which kind of fueled that fire in belmont today. Lets get a check of our forecast with jeff ranieri. Not a good day for the fire to be starting. Not a good day any day with our drought in place. And these winds are also extending here to the immediate coastline as were finding anywhere between 20 to 30 mile an hour sustained winds, including in San Francisco. We heard about the accident with the kite surfer at the top of our show. And we do want to alert everyone of these dangerous beach conditions that will be with us through tonight, also into saturday, and sunday. With that warming weather, you may be wanting to head out here but there is a Small Craft Advisory in place. Wave heights 5 to 8 feet and gusts that could range 20 to 40 Miles Per Hour. So just take extra caution if youre headed anywhere near the coastline. Otherwise, it has been beautiful today, right now the south bay checking in at 73 and sunny skies. A mild 74 in the east bay. Up against the immediate coastline in the peninsula, we have 61, and then back toward San Francisco currently 68. Tomorrow mornings forecast does have mainly clear conditions. Were not expecting a huge fog event here throughout the bay area. And youll also notice much cooler temperatures. Of check it out in the north bay. Likely starting off with 49 degrees for the peninsula. 55 and also mid 50s for the south bay. The wind will be shifting as we head throughout tomorrows forecast. Again, all about this cooler westerly and slightly northerly wind through the bay area. By tomorrow, were going to see these winds shift to more of a drier direction coming out of the north. Also slightly out of the east. That will help temperatures to warm up as we head throughout saturdays forecast. You take that drier and that hotter wind, and you combine it in with this area of High Pressure thats going to be building off shore, and we do expect mid 90s by the time we get to Labor Day Weekend for the interior valleys and that will also mean 70s at the immediate coastline. So, again, much hotter as we head throughout the next three days. Lets take you to the microclimate forecast as we head throughout saturday. Its going to be nice here. Check it out. Morgan hill, 83 degrees. San jose, 84. For the peninsula, even going up to 71 in pacifica. So nice beach weather. But once again, dangerous surf. Back to palo alto, 83 degrees. And all of San Francisco expected to heat up into the 70s. Now for the north bay, east bay and also fort tri valley, it has been so enjoyable. all it takes is that wind to shift and now were looking at temperatures in the tri valley close to 90 degrees tomorrow. Pleasanton coming in at 89. Danville, 87. Oakland hopping to 77. Walnut creek 87. For the north bay, wine country, mid 80s from santa rosa right down to napa. Lets take a look at that extended forecast. As we head through sunday, also monday. Those will be the hottest days as we look at that Holiday Weekend. You can see for the south bay, warming up to 89 on sunday. 91 by monday. San francisco in the upper 70s. Looks like the hottest temperatures well have will be the tri valley at 95 degrees on monday. So a nice weekend coming our way. Again, the beaches dangerous. Think twice before you step in there this weekend. Okay. Good advice. Thanks, jeff. Still ahead, a foul fight. The battle over that chicken which disrupted bay area traffic this week. Quick, but dramatic high speed chase in sonoma county. A young woman led police on a quick but dramatic highspeed chase in sonoma county. It started just before midnight near santa rosa. Police say at times the chase topped 110 Miles Per Hour on highway 101. The driver got on and off the highway several times. She managed to avoid spike strips but the strips flattened the tires of other cars and even a police car. Chp eventually managed to stop the driver, but officers had to fire nonlethal gas until she got out of her car. Thats when they took her into custody. While a custody fight tonight over a chicken. Yes. Wednesdays chicken rescue on the bay bridge has now turned into a foul fight. So called toll plaza chicken, chip inspired by the officers who rescued her. Today she rules the roost already. She was on the National News as well as the local news. And we just have a ton of people calling saying theyre interested in adopting her if no owner comes forward. Youve got to prove it, though. Several people have come forward, but with no proof of ownership, like a photo or a vet bill to prove thats their chicken. Chip is apparently so comfortable with her fame, she laid an egg. They put a fake egg in. The mission is controlling animal populations, not increasing them. So she is going to just have a fake egg until the mystery is solved. Im glad she is doing fine. Still ahead, its no ordinary stray cat. The unusual discovery attracting national attention. Thats next. Coming up tonight at 6 00, when youre booking a weekend getaway, should you book through a travel site or book direct . The answer is not as simple as you might think. Thats in tonights reality check at 6 00. Where did he come from and where will he go . Were talking about a tiger cub that was found wandering in the streets of southern california. Take a look. Hes just 3 months old. Right now the cub is at an Exotic Animal sanctuary near l. A. , found on the streets in riverside county. He was found this week. The tiger has a hernia. He was also declawed, which means there is damage to his bones and nerves. The cub will go through reconstructive surgery. The department of fish and wildlife is trying to figure out what to do with him once he recovers. Probably somebody had him in their backyard. Terrible. Jeff, very windy outside as we saw with that kite surfer that got blown on to the highway. So unusual, right . It is. And you know, we did see gusty winds today and typically get winds as high as they gusted this afternoon, up to about 40 Miles Per Hour, just probably could have been unfortunate timing circumstance in that case. For the morning forecast, we start with temperatures in the 50s. Even 40s in the north bay. Chilly, not a whole lot of fog to begin the morning. So thats good. As we head throughout your Labor Day Weekend forecast, hotter sunday and monday. We will have upper 80s and low to mid 90s inland. Windy through saturday. So just be careful. Okay, thanks, jeff.
