A lot of the overnight roadwork suspended for the holiday and it is very quiet coming into San Francisco. We are expecting that today because obviously a lot of folks have the 4th off. Heres a live look at the san mateo bridge. The right side of your screen. Those taillights are leaving hayward in the commute direction and we are not even seeing one yellow sensor. We are not seeing any delays at all so far even coming out of tracy and through the Altamont Pass. Most mass transit is on a Holiday Schedule including bart. They are on a typical sunday schedule. So they are not even running trains yet not until later today. And they will also be running longer trains if you are planning to head to the 4th of July Celebrations along the embarcadero in San Francisco. Bart would be a good option all weekend with the 280 closure in place until monday 5 a. M. Thats the latest kcbs traffic. Frank and michelle, back to you guys. Okay, liz, thanks. 4 36. San francisco will be celebrating the fourth tonight with two Fireworks Shows. The crews were setting up yesterday. A pyro technician tells us 10,000 fireworks will launch from two barges in the bay one in front of aquatic park the other by pier 39. Shows will be synchronized and feature identical displays. Its wonderful to know that you have a city full of people that have come and crowded in and sitting down next to their neighbors and friends and celebrating Independence Day and im able to entertain them for 20 minutes. 20minute show starts at 9 30 tonight along San Franciscos waterfront. If you havent mader plans yet for the 4th of july, let us give you a helping hand. We have a complete list of the bay area Fireworks Shows and Community Celebrations on kpix. Com 4th.

Jury deliberating the bryan stow case will resume after the Holiday Weekend. The jurors had been at it for a week now. Wednesday they told the judge they couldnt reach a verdict. The judge sent them back as he sent them back to continue deliberations. That had stows parents worried about a deadlocked jury. Im going day by day right now because we spent a lot of time guessing where they were at and we were all so totally wrong so im going to stop doing that and just wait and see what happens. The issue is whether the l. A. Dodgers and their owner provided enough security at the game where stow was severely beaten by two dodger fans. Some architects are taking a stand against capital punishment. They dont want to design death chambers or other faces they say violate human rights. Kpix 5s da lin introduces us to the bay area man behind the movement. Reporter architecture is built on transforming and improving our society. From the iconic bridges to our comfortable homes. Architecture at its best brings people together. Reporter and thats why Rafael Sperry became a architect 15 years ago. Designing better more beautiful spaces for people to live work and play. Reporter but there are two kinds of projects he says architects should never be part of. You cant design a better execution chamber. The choice of a flooring, the color of the walls . None of that is going to change what happens there. Reporter sperry is leading a movement to ban architects from designing execution chambers and socalled supermax prisons with solitary confinement cells. His San Franciscobased group is lobbying the American Institute of architects aia to include the ban in its code of ethics. He even started a crowdsourcing page to raise money for his campaign. We want to stop designing spaces intended to violate human rights. Reporter many architects think the ban is a bad idea. If the point is to stop legal executions, the most efficient way to do it is through the executive branch, not through the building industry. Reporter they say architects should have a choice. Every architect has to follow his conscience to take or not take the commission. Reporter sperry likens the proposal to the medical industry where bans doctors and nurses from participating in executions. He says architecture is about uplifting the human spirit. And its code of ethics should reflect that. Im trying to do what i can as a person in my profession to make the world a better place. Reporter in San Francisco, im da lin, kpix 5. We contacted the American Institute of architects. A Spokesman Says he hasnt heard of the proposed ban and not sure if the aia will consider it.

So an a funeral is planned today for a palestinian teenager abducted and killed in jerusalem. Services were delayed so an autopsy could be done before the 17 could be laid to rest. The death has raised tensions as many palestinians are now calling it a revenge killing after the recent murders of three israeli teens. My little cousin had no involvement, my family had no involvement, in it. He is a child, just a child. The killing has been announced by the palestinian and israeli leaders denounced by the palestinian, israeli leaders, u. S. And other countries. The georgia father accused of intentionally leaving his young son to die inside a hot car broke down as prosecutors laid out the case against him. A detective testified Justin Ross Harris had exchanged nude photos with several women while his son sat in the car. Investigators also discovered two Life Insurance policies had been taken out on the child. The judge said the evidence was overwhelming and ordered ross held without bail. The testimony of the stench in the car was overwhelming at that point in time, that he in spite of that got in the car and drove some distance before he took any action to check on the welfare of the chimed. I find theres probable cause for the two charges contained in the warrant. His attorney argued there was no evidence the boy was left in the car intentionally. He said the testimony about the nude photos was only meant to publicly shame his client. Check out natures fireworks over boston last night. Lightning lit up the sky as soon as the Independence Day Fireworks Show was over. But people were able to enjoy the display before they were ordered to evacuate. [ music ] the show was spectacular. Take a look. The storm forced the boston pops to skip the grand finale. The 1812 overture. That was fenway. Was it . That was fenway park, sure. Very nice. Boston put on a Fireworks Show a day early because hurricane arthur is expected to hit there today. Youve seen this show. I have been to that show at the hatch shell right on the charles river.

Sustained winds of 100 miles gusting to 120. Now its really picked up some steam. Yesterday at this time only moving at 9 Miles Per Hour now up to 23 Miles Per Hour sliding all up the eastern seaboard throughout the day today. It is going to be a stormy day up through new york and boston again and all the way to nova scotia toward the weekend. Out west we have some low clouds and fog this morning giving way to a lot of sunshine into the afternoon. And some warmer temperatures outside. Yeah, looking at 50s around the board right now and looks like by the afternoon we are going to see beautiful weather with mostly sunny skies except at the coastline still a couple of patches of fog and then the weekend is going to be much warmer in fact getting very hot in some of the interior valleys. All right. High pressure building in today. The temperatures are going to be warming up. Big question is, is that fog, when will it be moving in . I think it comes back in the evening hours so inside the bay we are watching that very closely. You will see the low clouds and fog pull back to the coastline and then surge back onshore in the evening hours so if you are at pier 39 you will see some fog. It wont be totally clear. Other parts of the bay looking good. Mostly Clear Conditions and clear in the valleys for tonight. Temperatures are looking like this. Plan on numbers up in the 70s and 80s in the south bay 60s along the coast. East bay 80s and 90s. Inside the bay 60s in San Francisco, 71 oakland, 62 degrees in daly city.

Usually we can tell by certain freeways how bad the drive times are and this one is clear. We always see delays on a typical morning drive even at 4 47 in the morning usually there are some brake lights out of tracy. Nothing. Everything is all clear from 205 to 580 and then from the Altamont Pass to the dublin interchange. Still great 14 minutes. Theres the drive time at the bottom of your screen. Even farther east so far things are looking at top speeds all across the board westbound and eastbound and we are not seeing the usual overnight roadwork. We have a major roadwork project of course replacing all the hinges on the northbound 280 extension. They already did the southbound lanes. The southbound lanes of 280 are open. They did all the work on the memorial day weekend. Now we have the northbound closure this weekend. 101 to king street. Best alternate is 101 which that alternate looks great for now. Live look at the bay bridge toll plaza looking clear coming into San Francisco from the east bay. Same thing across the san mateo bridge. And once again bart is on a Holiday Schedule. They are on a sunday schedule what you typically see on a sunday so trains wont start running until 8 00 this morning. Most mass transit is on a Holiday Schedule including ferries, caltrain and theres no ace train service.

Between larkin and leavenworth will close from noon to 6 p. M. , but taxis still allowed along with residents cars and emergency vehicles.

Man, this is the easy way i can help these guys increase their income. Reporter he is talking about these signs. The government stole my sons screen. Im way too sober for this. Reporter he handed out at least 15 so far giving the homeless a marketing makeover in hopes a laugh translates to a donation. What antioch does is he keeps a spare sign in the back of his car so if he is driving for a lyft or driving around for himself and he sees someone who needs it he has one ready. Wait for the right person and if i feel like they are standing out there with a sign that could be improved i roll the window down and say, hey, you guys want a new sign . Reporter the social experiment started a few months months ago. He was driving down van ness and saw a panhandler with a sign that said poor, hungry. I had no inclination to give him some money. I wondered if something funny was on the sign, i probably would have. Reporter its working for some. One man said it attracts tourists some asking to take pictures with him. How do you think this helps them find a job . Im not in a position to help someone find a job. Im just a regular guy. I think we all kind of do what we are capable of . Reporter he says his friends wanted to help, too, by either making signs or inspiring catchy phrases. We dont always have to change the world. You can do something really small to make a small difference and its okay. Reporter antioch says he doesnt know if the signs change much but its changed him. In San Francisco, cate caugiran, kpix 5.
