warm. you will be in the 90s for many. over by the coast, there are hints of a westerly breeze. 70s, 80s and 90s. bodega bay water to be, 49. san francisco buoy, 51. it's only a matter of time before we get a southwind or a west wind and that fog will come screaming back. i think it will be tomorrow. keep an eye around monterey and santa cruz. today, high clouds will clear out. the fog is down in southern california. it's about to take that turnabout point conception. we have a nice day on the coast. 50s, 60s and 70s. 52, half moon bay. nevada, 65. livermore, 59. 64, san jose state meteorology department. morgan hill and san martin, 51. there is some warm air aloft. you can find 70s not far and some of the higher elevations in the hills. high pressure for another day or two and then big changes. 80s and 90s for most. 6:02 am. is something going on are we easing into this? it's not as bad as yesterday. we do have some crashes out there. we also have slow traffic but it's more along the normal line. we will start with the bay bridge toll plaza. you can see, a 20 minute delay. it's not too bad. the 880 ramp looks good especially if you're using fast track coming in to the city. this is interstate 880. much better than yesterday. traffic looks good from san leandro up into downtown oakland. you still have a good opportunity to get in there. on the peninsula, 101 looks good through daly city, south city and 101. southbound 101 is good through san mateo. in the south bay, traffic is slow. i want to mention northbound 101 in gilroy between san martin , the traffic is

may soon pay more for gas and it would have nothing to do with the price of crude oil. >> the president made a surprise announcement that he is considering a plan to raise the federal gas tax. alex savidge is live in emeryville with more on where that extra money would go.>> reporter: tough news for drivers this morning. good morning. this could be tough for folks in california, especially. the state gas tax is set to go up later this year. now you have the president suggesting that he is in favor of a hike in the federal gas tax as well. we are talking with drivers this morning in emeryville. as you can imagine, not many folks are happy about what they are hearing. a hike in the federal gas tax is not happened since 1993. the president hinted at this hike in the federal gas tax during an interview with bloomberg news. he is suggesting that that money would be used to pay for his ambitious infrastructure plan. this is the same idea that governor brown is employing here in california where he pushed for a dollar $.12 per gallon increase in the state gas tax to help repair roads and bridges and pay for mass transit projects. no matter where all that money is going, potentially, drivers are worried about the possibility of paying even more to fill up. >> i think it's unfair. we already pay a lot of taxes in california anyway as far as gas. for me, i live all the way by napa. driving here -- it's expensive. we can't move closer to our jobs because housing is already expensive. >> reporter: the state gas tax will increase by $0.12 per gallon starting this november. across the board, gas taxes have been on the rise as of late. averaging around $2.38 a gallon national wall -- nationwide. closer to three dollars a gallon in california. clearly with these comments from president trump it's clear that the president and the governor in california seem to have some similar ideas about the best ways to potentially repair our crumbling roads. both of them showing their support for increases in the gas taxes both on a state level and federal level. >> the roads are a mess. i think everyone agrees with that but it is a tough pill to swallow having to pay more for gas. you will hear from people out there i'm sure. you already have some good comments. >> reporter: we already do have some good comments. a lot of people point out how expensive it is to find housing in the bay area and that pushes people further out meaning they have to pay more for gas or they have to buy more gas. so, they tend to get hit the hardest when you raise the gas tax like this. 6:06 am. san francisco police are investigating the shooting death of a 15-year-old boy. the teenager was shot as he was driving in the outer sunset neighborhood near kirkham street >> this is the suburban community of san francisco but i guess the reality is that this can spread anywhere. the quite tranquility of the outer sunset suddenly shattered. one neighbor tells us he heard what he

the car and the teenager was clear and coherent when he identified the passenger as his brother. the brother was distraught but the 15 or the victim was calm as the ambulance emt tried to help at the boy was taken to the hospital where he died. >> i was pretty upset thinking i could have been walking by just as it was happening with my son. i don't know -- we chose to raise our family here but it's definitely upsetting to know that shootings can happen a block away from your house. >> we have a lot of homeowners who've lived here for 30 or 40+ years. this is alarming. it's very scary. >> reporter: neighbors say the shooting along with burglaries and even an armed robbery in recent months are giving them pause. >> i grew up here. i don't want to have to move but, you know, i don't want my son to grow up in a neighborhood were things like this can happen. >> reporter: the 16 on passenger was not injured. police are tightlipped about their investigation and would only say that the victim was not from san francisco and they have not yet released any suspect information. in san francisco, amber lee, ktvu fox 2 news. a second teenager has been arrested in connection with last
