bridge are good. they should have just picked up the construction that was blocking a couple of lanes on the upper deck. southbound 287th on-ramp closed but still looks good heading out of downtown. that's your traffic. all right, tracy, the pressure is on. >> the heat is on! i wish. no, not yet. we still have cloudy conditions and this morning quite a bit of drizzle out there for the coast and the bay. it is another gloomy start to the day as you head out the door. for your afternoon. how about this? so, conditions today sunshine inland, mid-80s. a few breaks of sunshine around the bay. not a lot of breaks yesterday. but mid-60s expected. and the lower 60s for the coast. and we will begin with a gradual warmup to upper 80s and then you will see the 90s coming in by the weekend. and then we are holding on, sunday, monday and tuesday, mid- 90s, yeah, near 70 around the bay. and temperatures along the coastline will warm up maybe lower to the mid-60s but i'm really excited about the 90s.

>> me, too. near seasonal. >> much better than the 80s. >> thank you. an 18-year-old man that was arrested in the deadly shooting of a german tourist in san francisco is out of jail this morning. he was released for lack of evidence. the man had been suspected in the shooting sunday night near union square. police say that woman mechthild schroeer died when two groups of young people started shooting at each other. a straight bullet hit her in the head killing her. investigator say they are still reviewing surveillance video and could charge more suspects later. investigators believe the same man is responsible for attacks on three women at the same apartment complex in contra costa county, the latest happening yesterday. the sheriff's department has just released sketches of the suspect. here they are. this man raped a woman july 6 in an unlocked apartment at the park regency on oak road near

walnut creek. the attacker threatened and covered the mouths of two other women in an attack yesterday and an assault back on june 30. in each of those cases, the man was scared off. a man arrested after a shootout with chp officers in oakland is scheduled to enter a plea this morning. byron williams from the sierra foothills facing a number of charges including the attempted murder of a peace officer. he was pulled over on interstate 580 last month, then got into a gunfight with the officers. two officers suffered minor injuries. williams told officers he was on his way to san francisco. that's where he planned to shoot two people in two nonprofit organizations. a heated debate in santa clara over the plan to build a towering religious symbol. a 64-foot minaret would be built at the mosque on scott boulevard in a light industrial section of santa clara. but one local businessman says he thinks that tower doesn't belong there.

kiet do has more. reporter: one of the largest mosques in the south bay doesn't even look like a mosque. but that will soon change. the muslim community association is building a two- story decorative facade on one side of the building but that's not the issue, this is, a minaret, a tower that with would stand nearly 64 feet tall. mosque leaders want to build one as a symbol of islam. you are very careful not to use the word eyesore, right? >> did i not use the word eyesore. i used the word architectural curiosity. >> reporter: he says it wouldn't go well with an industrial building or the neighborhood for that matter. the city has approved preliminary plans for the minaret and scott is appealing the decision. he says such a tall tower would attract more worshippers and make traffic and parking problems worse. >> i think a 63-foot minaret tower would in some ways serve

as an advertisement and so, you know, it probably would be seen by more people from a further distance. >> reporter: this all comes in the wake of a recent controversy near ground zero in new york about the construction of a mosque just blocks away from where the twin towers once stood. scott says he understands it's a sensitive topic. what do you say to somebody who see this is story and says that this is a guy who just doesn't like mosques that he is perhaps intolerant? >> i would invite anyone who has that point of view to come out here and look at the facility, number one, and make a judgment for themselves. >> reporter: the mosque's board of directors did not return our phone calls despite repeated attempts. through a spokesman they said they would have more at a planning commission meeting wednesday night. >> and that was kiet do reporting. a victory for bank customers furious about overdraft fees. a federal judge in san francisco ordered wells fargo pay more than $200 million to

compensate customers for excessive overdraft fees. the judge said the bank's way of processing transactions from largest to smallest caused a lot of customers to rack up the maximum number of fees. most banks process their transactions the same way, but wells fargo is the only bank affected by this ruling. wells says it is disappointed by the decision and plans to appeal. power is back on for thousands of people in marin county left in the dark for hours last night. pg&e says it was equipment failure that caused the outage. more than 13,000 people in novato were without power for about five hours. electricity, though, came back on just after midnight. 5:06. coming up trying to piece together what caused the plane carrying former senator ted stevens to crash in alaska. also ahead, an increase in the number of people going to the emergency room. who is going to the e.r. the most. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

good morning. there is nothing going on. it's very quiet outside which is great news for commuters. we'll have traffic coming up in 6 minutes. >> thank you. 5:09. federal investigators will be back at the scene of that deadly plane crash in southwest alaska. former alaska senator ted stevens among five people killed monday when that 1950s era plane crashed into a mountainside near dillingham. four people survived including that man, former nasa chief john o'keefe and his son. the group was on its way to a lodge where stevens often spent summers fishing. alaskans knew the 86-year-old stevens as uncle ted. he represented the last frontier for more than 40 years, the longest stint in the

u.s. senate for any republican. and there is one thing you can really count on, i will never stop fighting for the people of alaska. [ applause and cheers ] >> stevens narrowly lost his last bid for re-election just a week after he was convicted in a federal corruption trial in 2008. those charges were later dropped. ironically, stevens survived a 1978 plane crash that killed 7 people including his first wife. a lot more people are using hospital emergency rooms these days. uc-san francisco researchers found the increase in e.r. visits was twice what they expected based on population growth. emergency room visits in the u.s. were up 23% from 1997 to 2007. that study found it was adults on medicaid who made the difference. the "san francisco chronicle" reports the reason for that appears to be relatively low reimbursement rates for patients on medicare. salinas-based fresh express recalling nearly 3,000 cases of

salad because of a possible health risk. the recalled product is known as the veggie lovers salad. it has an expiration day of the august 10 and a products code of i208. that information can be found in the upper right-hand corner of the package. fresh express says there are no reports of illnesses connected to the product but random testing in ohio found one package that had bacteria that could make people sick. we received a lot of comments from viewers on the story on the jetblue flight attendant who quit his job by cursing, grabbing beer and sliding down the emergency chute of his plane saying, i'm done. some viewers depended him by saying people dealing with the public have to put one a lot. so our question of the day to you, what is the rudest behavior you have ever seen in public? think about it. send your responses to mornings@cbs5.com. we're also on facebook and twitter.

i think the rudest i ever saw was the baggage claim in phoenix, arizona, a crazy man. more fog and drizzle out the door this morning but tracy says there is a light at the end of the tunnel. >> a spotlight. i can't wait for it. warmer weather moving back into the bay area. more seasonal temperatures just around the corner. we'll take a look at your seven- day forecast and pinpoint -- tell you exactly when that warmup will get here. ,,,,,,,,

here's a look at some of the stories we are following this morning: good morning. let's go down to the south bay because that's where we have a little roadwork blocking some lanes. first put up the little text box there, you will notice some of the on-ramps are blocked onto southbound 280. the 7th and 10th, 11th street on-ramps are closed until 6:00 a.m. for that roadwork. there's also still some roadwork for that stretch of 101 between 880 and bernal. sounds like various lanes are blocked in both directions until 6:00 this morning. you can see it's very slow going there as you head up those northbound lanes of 101 into downtown san jose. so watch out for that. again, most of this roadwork will be wrapped up in the next 45 minks.

280 is quiet on the main lines. freeway heading out of downtown close to the 880 interchange. your commute along the peninsula, nice and light on 101 and 280 looks good all the way into san francisco. we have a camera here, some of the sensors updating so it looks good from benicia into martinez. there is a live look at traffic moving across the span. and from there we'll go check the silicon valley ride. westbound 237 moving fine as you head out of westbound 237 nice and light this morning heading towards mountain view and mass transit is all running on time. that is your traffic. for your forecast, here's tracy. >> hey, thanks, elizabeth. this morning we have drizzle or light rainfall, in the forecast for this morning for the coastline, also for the bay. some low clouds inland this

morning. afternoon, more sunshine with mild temperatures in the 80s, 60s at the coast. a lot like yesterday. here's a look at more temperatures. 76 santa clara, 72 union city, 71 hayward, 72 mountain view, 73 los altos, 74 redwood city, near 60 along the coast. east bay locations, mid-80s in antioch, brentwood. mid-70s pleasant hill. 79 danville, 80 san ramon, 77 dublin, lower to the mid-60s in berkeley, oakland and in alameda. speak of the 60s, 60 degrees in sausalito, 61 san francisco, 67 mill valley, 72 kentfield, 70 novato, lower to the mid-70s in santa rosa, petaluma, sonoma, napa and just near 80 in fairfield. our seven-day forecast, so today will be a lot like yesterday. we are expecting a gradual warming trend. we are expecting inland locations to reason the benefits of that first.

eventually, we'll begin to warm up around the bay. but that bigger warmup will really get here for the back end of the weekend for bay location. inland will feel warmer weather as early as tomorrow. for the coast, mid-60s by the weekend. that's a look at your weather. back up to you. >> thank you. it is 5:18. let's take a look at some of the stories we're following on this wednesday morning. san francisco police still trying to solve sunday night's murder of a german tourist near union square. they have released an 18-year- old suspect because of lack of evidence. ground will be broken this morning for the new transbay terminal in san francisco. 11 transit agencies will use the new facility when it's completed. until then commuters are using this temporary facility nearby. and that flight attendant who quit his job in dramatic fashion, he is now out of jail. that's steve slater. he is charged with criminal mischief and reckless endangerment after cursing at a

passenger, grabbing some beer and leaving the plane on an emergency chute. today the roundup of wild horses begins in northern california and in nevada. the ninth circuit court of appeals in san francisco last night refused to grant a stay that would have stopped the roundup. critics say the free roaming mustangs have a legal right to remain where they are. the bureau of land management disagreed and says the herds there are overpopulated, the range can't sustain them and they are trying to ensure the horses' safety. helicopters are used in the roundup, it will go four to six weeks. a giant catch in the mississippi river coming up, and help for people hoping to get in a new home in san jose. es.

"meg whitman says she'll run california like her company..." seen this attack on meg whitman? who are these people? they're the unions and special interests behind jerry brown. they want jerry brown because, he won't "rock the boat," in sacramento. he'll be the same as he ever was. high taxes. lost jobs. big pensions for state employees. the special interests have chosen their governor. how about you?

well, here's a look at some bay area cities and their high temperatures later today. alameda at 65 degrees with mostly sunny skies. oakland, mix of sun and clouds with a high temperature of 66. walnut creek, nothing but

sunshine for you guys. 77 degrees. 81 in pleasanton, with more sunshine to go around out in the east bay, and 84 degrees in antioch. we have been talking about warmer weather. so when does it get here? spill it. we want the details. i'll spill it. that's all coming up. >> looking good in the 80s. tracy, thank you very much. 5:23. welcome back, everyone. san jose has approved a plan that will help about 100 families buy their first homes. the city will make low-interest loans to moderate income families who want to buy condos at five downtown properties. families will be able to borrow up to 20% of the purchase price at a rate of 3%. san jose has been offering these loans for a while but it's the first time downtown buildings have been eligible. >> largely because they were very high-priced units in the past and our moderate income home buyers could not afford to live there. with the economy, the prices have come down and now these projects qualify for these

funds. >> to qualify, a family of four has to make less than $124,000 a year. the city will make about $8 million in state loans available. you want to watch the latest hollywood blockbusters instantly on your computer or television? well, that may be possible in just a month. netflix has made a deal to pay nearly $1 billion for the online streaming rights to movies from paramount, lions gate and mgm. with just the click of a button, netflix customers can watch movies online or through videogame consoles. viewers can also watch movies on epics a new pay it channel. it is the beg one that did not get away. >> 1, 2, 3! >> oh, that's a honking big catfish caught in the mississippi river. this was sunday night. rick hastings says he was anchored, had his poles out when suddenly he went for a ride. >> was going down the river and it was just pulling the boat all around. we fought it for probably about

a good half hour to an hour. >> he is sure he has some sort of record. he weighed it on his own scale, came up to 115 pounds. but he has to take it to the state conservation department to get an official weight to see if he indeed has a new record. 5:25. coming up in the next half hour, why the drilling of that relief well to help stop the leak in the gulf has stopped. also, opposition to a 64-foot addition to a bay area mosque, the argument against a minaret.

this is the houston zoo. now at what these are? >> flamingos. >> chilean flamingo chicks took their first walk to the exhibit. not pretty in pink yet. the zoo got them through an egg exchange with the zoo in atlanta. keepers have been hand raising them since they hatched four weeks ago. the employees will be walking the chicks everyone day until they are old enough to stay with the adults. we have received a lot of comments from you on the story of the jetblue flight attendant who quit his job by cursing at a passenger, grabbing some beer and sliding down the emergency chute of his plane. a lot of viewers defended him by saying people dealing with the public have to put one a lot. so our question of the day was, what is the rudest behavior you have ever seen in public? some of the comments are hilarious. the restaurant i was managing.

>> that's funny. >> that's bad. >> i have seen runners and athletes do that but you don't want to be near them when they do it. >> i find when i'm driving a lot now, as soon as the light turns green, people will start honking their horns behind me? >> that's me. >> i hate that! can't you wait five seconds? >> i got places to go and people to see! >> oh, my gosh. >> i just think civility is gone. there is a lot of stress. a lot more rudeness these days. >> absolutely. grouchy people. the only thing i'm really -- when i see someone being rude to an older person that really gets me. but other stuff i'm like i think it could be slightly comical. >> but what's scary in this day

>> so you have a good forecast. >> once you mention warmup, is it today? >> no. >> it will be tomorrow for inland locations. but gradually the bay will start to feel the warmup by the weekend. today a little bit more of the same. same old same old. mid-80s with sunshine, mix of sun and clouds. lower 60s at the coast with nothing but clouds. gradually warming up. the weekend, the 90s, people, you know, it's been a long time. mid- to upper 60s at the bay and lower 60s at the coast. for the past couple of days, i have been sitting here -- my clicker -- i think i'll just advance traffic. see, i advanced so much i advanced right past it.
