good morning. it is not looking good at all heading into san francisco up from northbound 101 or trying to access the lower deck of the bay bridge. eastbound 80 is completely closed right now. all lanes blocked between 101 and 7th street. sounds like a bad accident involving a van and a big rig. chp shut down the section of freeway so traffic is being detoured on to the central freeway heading towards van ness. or on the 9th street off-ramp instead. so you can get into san francisco, but probably your best bet is going to be to use

280 in the meantime until they completely clear the scene. they just sent out a note, sounds like around 6:40 they hope to get at least one more lane open but in the meantime, john and mike with the kcbs phone force tell us that traffic is pretty much at a standstill beginning around cesar chavez. so we'll continue to watch that. fastrak and carpools still look good no metering lights. the big story marin and the golden gate bridge, you can see it. it's the fog. so low visibility from sausalito towards the waldo grade and the deck of the golden gate bridge not impacting your drive time, though, 22 minutes from novato into san francisco. remember our radio partners, kcbs 740-am and 106.9-fm. they will tell you when they will open the stretch eastbound into san francisco. that is your traffic. for your forecast, here's tracy. >> hey, thanks, elizabeth.

beyond cesar chavez. chp hoped to get more lanes open by closer to 6:40 so next 10 minutes or so, so we'll watch out for that. slow going. 280 is the best alternate in the meantime. the bay bridge we have seen a good sized backup early this morning at the toll plaza going in the other direction in the commute direction heading towards san francisco. still no metering lights, but those cash lanes we got some longer waits backing up towards about the west grand overcrossing. fastrak by the way though still looks pretty good. remember our radio partners, kcbs 740-am and 106.9-fm. that is your traffic. for your forecast, here's tracy. >> hey, thanks, elizabeth. we have constant weather updates on kcbs radio so when you leave the house you can still be advised of what's going on weather-wise. looking outside, here we go, ocean beach, this kind of sums up what's going on weather-wise for now along the coast. cloudy conditions and even some drizzle for the coastline for the morning. for the afternoon, some sunshine, but don't expect a whole lot. here's a look at our fog -- we call it our fog product. it's a graphic based on what we think will be happening with the fog during the day.

you can see around 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., east bay clearing out, south bay clearing out, north bay thinning out as well as the bay. that's going to lead to us a whole lot more sunshine in today's forecast. and take a look at these temperatures. lower 60s in san francisco, 74 in palo alto, 77 in santa clara, 73 in hayward, 67 degrees in oakland, near 90 in pleasanton and antioch, that's nice. 86 in fairfield and the mid- to upper 70s in sonoma and santa rosa. cooler wednesday through saturday through the workweek. that's a look at your weather. back up to you. there are hopes of relief for people who ride the bus in the east bay. a judge is expected to rule today on a contract the a.c. transit drivers don't want. anne makovec is in oakland that's where riders are just

praying things get back to normal. good morning, ann. >> good morning. yeah. so many unknowns for riders who depend on a.c. transit to get to work in the morning. now, so far here in oakland, we have seen several buses pulling in and out of stops but if recent history shows us anything, it is probably going to shape up to be another questionable commute. there was a new interim contract forced on the driver union after three months of failed labor negotiations between the two sides. drivers say in changes their schedules to a level where it's impractical for them to comply so 15% of 20% of drivers have been calling in sick. the union denies it's a sickout but it's been canceling and delaying many of the routes riders depend on. >> showed up to work probably an hour and a half late on saturday. messes everything up. >> now, an arbitrator will eventually help the two sides

coming one a final deal but in the meantime the interim contract stands depending on the what the alameda judge decides. so drivers are looking for an injunction on that contract that's been upsetting them so much. we'll see what the judge decides. if he doesn't issue an injunction, there is no telling what the union could do next. >> thank you, anne makovec in oakland this morning. 6:34. witnesses helped hold the brother of a san francisco giants player until police in danville could arrest him. 23-year-old kanan schierholtz from san ramon is being held on $350,000 bail to face charges including hit-and-run, drunk driving and driving without a license. he hit a bicyclist, pedestrian, another pickup, light pole and lexus in danville with his pickup truck. >> he was very much under the influence of something.

he could hardly talk and his airbag had deployed. so he obviously had -- the impact on the front of the car was severe. >> the four people who were injured are recovering. the suspect, the younger brother of giants outfielder nate schierholtz. dozens of san jose firefighters laid off over the weekend hope to get their jobs back. 49 lost their jobs on friday after the union and the city could not agree on a concessions package. the san jose firefighters union over the weekend announced a proposal. it includes a two tiered retirement system for newly hired firefighters but the pay concession remains at 5.25%, and that's far less than the 10% the city says it needs from its workers to help balance the budget. this comes as the city's new fire chief is taking over. he does so today, willie mcdonald. previously he served as fire chief in scottsdale, arizona. union officials say that he has some staffing ideas that could

reduce overtime costs. it remains to be seen whether that would be enough money to bring back some jobs or to re- open the fire station on communications hill. a nearby business owner has just posted this sign that reads, your neighborhood is in danger. it urges people to call the city station to get the station reopened. a wildfire should be contained this evening if all goes as planned. it has burned in the antelope valley since thursday. four homes and five outbuildings have been destroyed. yesterday, crews made a lot of progress. they contained 87% of that fire with help from cooler temperatures and higher humidity. investigators believe the fire was sparked by somebody working on a car wheel. in kern county, two men have been charged with misdemeanors for accidentally starting a wildfire near tehachapi. the fire began tuesday after

the men cut a steel pipe sending sparks flying into nearby brush. that fire has burned more than 2 1/2 square miles destroying 23 homes and 41 outbuildings. full containment is expected tomorrow. 6:37. it's not just the san francisco giants trying to keep the as from going to san jose. >> at&t is apparently throwing another hurdle in the way. kcbs radio's matt bigler is at the proposed stadium site to explain the phone company's stake. matt, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. as you're aware, there's a lot that has to happen before the arizona can move here to san jose but perhaps the biggest physical obstacle is that thing. it's an at&t operations center. it employs about 100 people in san jose and it is smack-dab in the middle of the 14 acres that the city wants to use for a ballpark. you can see on the map what we're talking about. it's on the southern end of the 14-acre parcel that the city is trying to patch together. at&t tells the "chronicle" they

are not moving. the land is basically not for sale. and there is some speculation that the reason at&t is being so uncooperative on this is because the city council recently blocked the company, at&t, from developing housing on a different parcel of land owned by the company. so this is a bit of payback, if you will. a councilman says it's troubling that a company that depends so heavily on the public good would attempt to rake taxpayers over the coals. there are several other sites that have to be purchased by the city and most notably the giants are opposed to a san jose move by the as. they claim they have territorial rights here in santa clara county. live in san jose, i'm matt bigler for cbs 5. >> thank you, matt. it is 6:38. the stock market headed up again this morning. we'll have the latest financial news when we return. and a new movie coming out

good morning. we still have this traffic alert on northbound 101 heading

into san francisco. it's a pretty serious injury accident involving a van and big rig on northbound 101 right where it splits off to eastbound 80 the skyway. a few minutes ago they were able to get one right lane open. but as you can see, traffic is still jammed in that area. they still have the two left lanes closed. sounds like it's still backing up towards about cesar chavez. they were detouring cars towards the central freeway but now all the exits are getting backed up. so if you are commuting into san francisco and trying to get downtown, 280 is definitely going to be your best alternate. hey, think we have a camera to show you of the general area. so again, this is eastbound 80 traffic there at the 101 split. you can see' few cars getting by. they have one lane open right here. this is heading towards van ness. but 280 is the best alternate. just avoid the area. let's go towards the bay bridge toll plaza now, because still no metering lights. that's a good sized backup in just the cash lanes.

fastrak gets by great. no delays there. using either end of the cash lanes it's backing up towards the west grand overcrossing. and fog is the name of the game in marin county. still really low visibility from sausalito all the way through the waldo grade. that is your traffic. for your forecast, here's tracy. >> hey, thanks, elizabeth. >> definitely foggy out there this morning. here's a look toward coit tower here in the bay and you can see just a little of it. here we go. san jose, you can see just a little of that, same difference, still got some low clouds out there. here's a look at our daily planner for today. clouds at the coast, clouds at the bay, and also clouds well inland this morning, even a little drizzle the closer you get to the coast as well as the bay area. later on today for this afternoon, sunshine expected inland, temperatures near 90 degrees. plenty of sunshine a few clouds for the bay, and lingering fog and low clouds along the coastline. it's august?? yeah. it is august. and temperatures remain below average.

normally around 90 degrees in livermore, mid-80s in san jose, lower 80s in santa rosa and the upper 60s in san francisco. today's temperatures three to six to four to five degrees below average and these four cities, that's the trend across the bay area, temperatures still slightly below normal highs for this time of the year. 78 degrees in milpitas, 74 union city, 79 cupertino, 71 san mateo, 60 degrees in daly city. east bay locations lower 60s in richmond, mid-80s in walnut creek san ramon and dublin. 87 in pleasanton and livermore. and the upper 80s in antioch and brentwood. north bay locations, mid- to upper 70s in napa, sonoma, upper 70s in petaluma. mid-70s in san rafael and san anselmo and the lower 60s in sausalito and in san francisco. our seven-day forecast, boy, another nice day expected once we clear the clouds out. the only location where the clouds will be sticking around will be the immediate coast. little change as we move from today into tomorrow.

and then we do have changes moving in by wednesday and you can see temperatures will move down a bit and we'll be cooler than today wednesday, thursday, friday and saturday. that's a look at your weather. back up to you. >> thank you. 6:45. your smart phone could actually turn stupid in parts of the world. >> blackberry service is threatened in some parts of the mideast. here's jason brooks with kcbs and cbsmoneywatch.com. >> reporter: this is a huge deal for research in motion which makes the blackberry after the uae said that it's not only going to ban its own residents but also foreign visitors from using many of the services on blackberries including email, messaging, web browsing. they say it's because of national security issues. and the reasoning why is that the blackberry uses a specific email system that's highly encrypted through research in motion's data centers and it's very hard for governments to crack that and they can't

monitor that activity. smart phones like the iphone or android based phones aren't affected because they use many different email services and it's easier to monitor because they use the open internet. it's a big deal going forward for research in motion because dubai is a huge hub for business and international travel. stock market very strong off the start. coming off the best month in about a year. dow gained over 7% for the month. and right now the gains coming because of two of europe's biggest banks reporting very strong earnings. and in just a few minutes, we are going to get a key reading on the economy from the institute for supply management. we are expecting the reading to decrease a little bit from june into july. this is for manufacturing. but still any reading above 50 indicates growth. manufacturing has been a strong performer over the last few months. dow up over 100. it's not going to be something you want to hear at breakfast

but bacon prices are going up. pork bellies have risen 53% to a 1.35 a pound. to this point grossers have held on to most of the costs fearing to pass them on to consumers but pork's pods have been spending even further in their herd so we are looking after the further prices going forward. and that's going to make your bacon more expensive. rough news, i know. >> i know. >> nobody wants to hear that. >> all right, thank you jason brooks with kcbs and cbsmoneywatch.com. for the third straight weekend "inception" is number one at the box office. it stars cap leonardo leonardo dicaprio. it brought in more than $27 million this weekend. that makes more than $193 million total in three weeks. >> wow. "inception" edged out the

comedy "dinner for schmucks" with steve karel and that opened at number 2 with 23 million. salt, despicable me and cats and dogs rounded out the top 5. >> also at the theaters this weekend a preview came out for a new movie about a morning newscast. >> what's going on? >> phonedded by a word in the next story. >> it's about easter chicks. >> i'm not saying the word fluffy. >> suppose i don't have standards? >> sure you do when you got your pap smear on air you wore a silk robe. >> okay. >> the film is called "morning glory. " it's about a morning news producer played by rachel mcadams, who has to deal with an anchor team played by diane keaton and harrison ford. it's a duo that does not like each other. the film comes out in november and we can't wait.
