Good morning, i am dave clark, lets talk about traffic, weather, Steve Paulson is right over there. A little bit of drizzle as well, we will have a little bit of sun as the system sweeps through and most locations are cloudy and we will have a little bit of rain upper 40s and 50s and it is another mild morning for many and the system does not have much, warmer friday and one more system saturday and after that, warmer temperatures kick in especially monday and tuesday. Lot of high clouds and lower 60s, here is sal. We have traffic getting busier by the minute in some of these typical commutes. Westbound bay bridge is not all that busy but it is getting slower and some of the roads getting to the bay bridge are certainly beginning to get slower. This is a look now at the san mateo approach and westbound 92 does look good as you pass the toll plaza and head out to the highrise i want to mention northbound 101 and san jose slow traffic, we have right here where the slow traffic eases up and there is a report of a fire at 28th and julian which may be visible from highway 101 between the key and allan rock exit so you will see some traffic in the area and its already slow in this area so if you happen to drive you will want to think about using 101 instead. Lets go back to the desk. We are following breaking news of a warehouse fire in san jose. This is the second fire to breakout, alex . This one is much larger and we will have my photographer push in and you can see a huge ball of flames, flames just pouring from this commercial building here. This is near 28th street and julian in san jose. It is a 30,000 square foot, a commercial building of some kind which somehow caught fire and it is obviously still unclear and right now the concern is getting these flames under control. I asked them a short time ago what its what is houses and they will actually tell me what this is and they are trying to tell me what type of business this is but firefighters certainly have their hands full with that huge warehouse fire but although it is difficult to tell from our vantage point, the fire that started, the fire potentially has spread to other buildings. This truck will make its way and it appears it has spread to another building and we will get that confirmed from other firefighters, again this fire has demanded quite a bit of resources from the san jose Fire Department, 3 alarms have been called and possibly more and they have firefighters coming from all over the city to get this huge fire under control. I will talk with some of the fires fires firefighters and we want to bring you this photo, a lot a lot more impressive.

Well reporter well it is quiet in the neighborhood and last night San Jose Police were in this neighborhood and they thought a man had barricaded himself in a home and two people had been shot. The call came in just before 9 00 last night which prompted them to send dozens of other deputies to a home on fruit veil because they had word that a man was held up inside of a home and bombs were planted on the property. The s. W. A. T. Team was put on standby and they discovered this home was vacant and this was a hoax. When significant Police Resources are sent out, it is referred to as s. W. A. T. Ing. This is a dangerous joke and it is now happening to a large group of people. They are asking about more criminal penalties they are investigating who made the call last night and they say it came from a cell phone back out here live, you can see where there is plywood put up in the front door of this house where sheriffs deputies had responded and i just spoke to a neighbor just recently in the last few minutes and said the people who lived here actually just moved out earlier that day or the day before.
