Later on today. Look at the green showing up on the radar. So as you can see with the proximity to monterey bay, there is a chance that they could pick up an isolated shower or thunderstorm. For most of the bay area, we are expecting just clouds in place. The muggy conditions looks like that moisture is coming in from the south. That is what is happening with the upper level winds. Check in on the current numbers out there. Currently 60 in san jose. Livermore or pleasanton in the upper 50s. Santa rosa 51. Here is the plan for today. Cool to mild conditions out there. It will be warming up inland on thursday. That continues for the weekend. For this morning, in San Francisco, lots of clouds. By 12 00, patchy fog. And then partly sunny by 3 00. Temperatures kind of matching the highs from yesterday in the mid60s. Here is the timeline throughout the day. Gradually scale back on the clouds. Could be stubborn for the coast and near portions of San Francisco. As i mentioned, not a big change in temperatures from yesterday. Eventually we will warm up the numbers by the weekend. We will talk about that in your fiveday forecast and we will check in with alex right now who has an update on the roadways. Good morning, alex. Good morning, mark. As everyone wakes up and stumbles out the door probably after the fourth of July Celebration yesterday, its back to work time. And youre going to be hitting the roads with a lot of other folks this morning heading out the door. This is one spot where you will slow down significantly as you always do. This is the bay bridge toll plaza. We have a pretty decent backup. 15 to 20 minutes extended all the way up to the maze, slightly through the maze at this point here. We will keep tabs on it. No issue on the bay bridge itself. A decent ride once you get through the pay gates. Now we will give you a live look at the Richmond San Rafael bridge. We see a backup up to the toll plaza. Finally here is a look at the maps and another pocket of slowing that we are seeing. That would be highway 4 westbound as you come through pittsburgh and bay point. You are going to slow down quite a bit. It frees up after that. And 680 southbound through the downtown concord area not too bad here at 7 03 in the morning. Gasia, over to you. Thank you, alex. A fire at a vacant building in san jose forced evacuations. Firefighters got a call about a fire on williams road near interstate 280. When firefighters arrived, they saw flames from the top floor. The fire went to three alarms before it was confined at 4 00 this morning. The building used to house a Dentists Office but is now boarded up. There were reports that there were homeless inside. So the fact that the building had no power and was boarded up, it is likely that it might have been something along those lines. Fire crews were concerned about the large plumes of smoke and the dangerous contaminants blowing across the neighborhood. They issued a shelter in place for buildings farther away. The two homes were checked for Carbon Monoxide before people were let back in. Because the fire started inside of the building, investigators dont think it was caused by fireworks. The time is 7 04. Even the fog in San Francisco last night could not spoil the fireworks in San Francisco. [music] ray charles always adds something to the fireworks. This is just a few of the sights and sounds of the spectacular over the San Francisco waterfront. 10,000 fireworks went off during this 25minute show. The fog blocked some of it. Organizers called it one of the largest fireworks shows on the west coast. And the reaction from the people, the thousands who packed the embarcadero showed they were not disappointed. I enjoyed seeing the bottom half of the fireworks. It is like a teaser. Without seeing the whole thing, i want more the whole time. We are originally from mexico. Living here for ten years. Every year we come here and enjoy the fireworks. It is awesome. The producers say one way they tried to get around the fog is they launched fireworks that went to different heights so the spectators were able to see some fireworks no matter how high or how low the fog was out there. In the meantime thousands gathered at oaklands waterfront celebrating the fourth of july there. Lots of food and music, beverages and activities at jack london square. Along with live music, there was a kids zone, a photo booth, a sparkling ice lounge and entertainers as well. Last year, more than 10,000 people turned out for the event.

New this morning in new york city, a Police Officer was ambushed and assassinated overnight.

Theres no certainty that anything at this point will dissuade north korea from the Nuclear Global ambitions. This video appears to show the launch, a north korean milestone firing off a ballistic missile. As dictator kim jongun looks sky ward, his achievement would fly 500 miles before splashing into the sea. The fear is this type of missile could go much further, possibly carrying a Nuclear War Head to the United States. This has triggered an emergency meeting of the u. N. Security Council Later today. Are the russian and the chinese be willing to put more sanctions on north korea or do we have to do this alone. Reporter on twitter, President Trump suggested that china can do more but does it have the sway over north korea. The u. S. Military response was a joint exercise with south korea firing missiles of their own. Beyond that, minimum tar eoptions may be limited in part because they are using mobile launchers. There are no good military options for the United States. We can way to to shoot down missiles before they are launched but that risks escalation. It may not be able to be done if it is a mobile Missile Launch. Reporter President Trump is preparing for the big g20 summit in germany this week. That will include a meeting with putin. The subject of north korea is almost certain to come up. In washington, doug luzader, fox news. All right, doug. The time is 7 09.

Tell us what happened up there. Reporter yeah. Were at old redwood road in the Oakland Hills. A place where a grass fire took place last night. There is plenty of evidence that people were up here setting off illegal fireworks. Take a look at what we found a moment ago, a box of fireworks here called the evil enemy. It shoots off 36 shots. Now the Fire Department was sending out warnings that the fireworks have to be safe and sane, meaning they cant go up in the air and they cant explode. But just look at the damage here. It burned about half an acre just beyond this home here. The homeowner had a hose out here as well as they tried to fight the flames. Not a whole lot of damage. The Fire Department knocked the flames down quickly. They had a busy night. We also have video to show you here. Now, these fireworks that are lighting up the oakland skyline are all illegal. They went off almost nonstop since the sun went down last night. Meanwhile in the Oakland Hills here at old redwood road, the illegal fireworks sparked the brush fire here overnight and threatened the homes around midnight. Neighbors say they saw people actually setting off the illegal fireworks and investigators found evidence of the fireworks that burned this less than an acre of land where we are standing. Also another grass fire in vallejo around 9 30 just across from the Gateway Center plaza. Witnesses say they saw people shooting off fireworks in the streets and the field before the fire started. So luckily in all of these cases, no injuries were reported. But, again, the Fire Department just right now still trying to investigate and find out who was responsible forsetting off these illegal fireworks. But a lot of people not getting the message that it should have been a safe celebration last night. Live from the Oakland Hills, rob malcolm, ktvu fox 2 news. I just see dry yellow grass in the hills. The fire danger could have been much, much worse. Yes. A lot of people getting the message as we look around the neighborhood that they had to cut back the brush. There was a lot of Defensible Space around the home.
