so far, no homes are threatened. good morning, i'm sydnie kohara. >> i'm john kessler. the fire started on the hottest day of the year so far in the bay area. we'll have more on that fire in just a moment. first tracy has the forecast. >> good morning. talk about a hot one yesterday. first and foremost, how many of you opened up the window waiting for the breeze? it never came. at 5:00 in the morning, half moon bay at 75 degrees. look at the records. temperatures 107 in santa rosa yesterday. 99 in oakland, 92 in san francisco a new record. the last record was 89 in 2003. it is going to cool off a bit

today. but not for the entire bay area. that cooldown will be more so for areas along the coastline. upper 60s in pacifica today. 74 in san francisco, can't wait. 90s in napa and santa rosa. we cool down a little today and a little more tomorrow. we'll take that cooldown into the weekend. by the time the weekend gets here, all this hot weather would have been a bad dream. that's a look at your weather. for your traffic this morning, here's elizabeth. >> i didn't even know san francisco could get that hot. live look at the bay bridge toll plaza, looks good approaching the pay gates and across the upper deck. san jose state university is starting today so expect extra heavy congestion on 280 and the guadalupe parkway. yesterday was backed up as well but classes start for the fall semester today so watch out for

that. 280 traffic heading out of downtown san jose, and for right now, everything is running on time including bart. heat-related delays on bart and caltrain yesterday. right now, caltrain is completely on time. delays are possible later on. they may have to run the trains slower because we are expecting a second day of this heat wave. so watch out for that. we'll continue to watch mass transit on morning. back to you. >> thank you. that fire burning on the northeast side of mt. diablo is 75% contained this morning. the curry fire is breaking out near curry canyon road yesterday afternoon. the fire has threatened one home but it was saved. fire crews got relief last night when the winds died down and the humidity went up. >> we had aircraft working throughout the day. we have had fire engines and hand crews, crews that put in hose lines in to mitigate this. >> the first challenge

firefighters faced yesterday was a downed power line. they had to wait for pg&e crews before they could get past it and attack the fire. investigators are trying to determine if that power line started the fire. we have a reporter on the scene, and we'll have a live report as soon as possible. it's going to be warm today. not quite as hot as yesterday. record high temperatures all over the bay area. triple digits common in the east bay, heat may have kept some people away from the farmer's market in concord that the farmers say it's good for their crops. nobody could keep cool at waterworld because the park is only open on the weekends, that's after school opens for the season. it was a banner day for the beaches, though, including this one in santa cruz. one of the sunniest days of the year there. some of the kids on the beach

were supposed to be somewhere else. >> they got ready for school like a normal day, we played hooky! we came out here. >> surfers enjoyed being out in the sun rather than the fog they have had most of the summer. santa cruz beach boardwalk already having a strong summer business-wise doing better than last year. the park says this heat wave is just icing on the cake. the record heat will slow down the commute for caltrain riders. caltrain is nearly a half hour behind schedule because the heat makes the rails soft. so they are slowing down the trains to reduce pressure on the rails. bart operators had to run trains manually. instead of 75, they were going 25 miles per hour because of main computer control rooms getting too hot. >> it's really hot in here right now. and the computer equipment is not talking to the operations control center letting the operations control folks know that there is a train in the

area. because the computers aren't working. they are overheated. >> when linton looses his tie, now it's hot! engineers have been tweaking the system. service is expected to be back to normal today. the woman driving an suv that plowed into five people at a bus stop did not have a driver's license. that's according to san francisco police. the crash happened just after 9:30 yesterday morning in the visitacion valley neighborhood. the driver of the ford explorer was heading down a hill when she says there was some sort of mechanical failure. >> she wasn't able to brake. the vehicle crossed the street and hit a group of pedestrian that is were waiting for a bus -- pedestrians that were waiting for a bus. >> two people hit are in critical conditions, the other three in serious condition. the driver wasn't hurt. she was cited for driving without a license but hasn't been charged with a crime. the suv is being examined to

see if in fact there were any mechanical malfunctions. a confirmation hearing is planned today for governor schwarzenegger's nominee for chief justice of the state supreme court. the governor chose tani cantil- sakauye last month to replace ronald george. today's hearing will be held in san francisco. if the commission approves, cantil-sakauye's name will go on the november ballot for approval by state voters. if she passes that test, her 12- year term will begin in january. 5:06. the new pickle in a popular sandwich shop's eviction process. >> coming up next, the technical glitch that's keeping ike's open at least for now. also, why one of the bay area's busiest dmv offices will be closed today and it's not a furlough friday...

good morning. looking good on all our bay area bridges. bart and caltrain on time. but officials have been warning of possible heat-related delays for later on in the morning commute. so we'll continue to watch mass transit for you. we'll have a full look at your traffic in 6 minutes. >> see you then. a technicality has foiled efforts to evict a popular san francisco sandwich shop. customers lined up outside ike's sandwich shop to get one final meal before the eviction that was scheduled for yesterday. but ike's stayed open because of a legal loophole. turns out the judge ordered the owner and his mother out but not the business itself. >> it names me, my mother and

the owner of the sushi restaurant but his restaurant is under a llc as well so they can't evict them. we went to the sheriff's department and we showed them the paperwork. he said a different entity own's ike's place? yes. okay, well we can't evict you. >> the eviction office came after the landlord and some neighbors complained about the crowds and food smells. a woman from the bay area has been killed in a plane crash in nepal. she was riding on a small commercial plane trying to land in a small village considered a gateway to mount everest. the terrain is quite mountainous. the weather was bad so the pilot tried to go to another airport but the plane crashed before it could land. 18-year-old kendra fallon was among four americans on the flight. she graduated from st. ignatius prep in san francisco last year and was attending uc-san diego. fallon was spending the summer in nepal working at an orphanage. one of the dmv offices in san jose will be closed again

today because of a computer snafu. the dmv says its alma avenue branch will be closed today because of technical upgrades. the glitch happened on monday forcing the branch to close down during business hours. today's closure only affects the alma office. people can go to the city's santa teresa branch or dmv offices in neighboring city. all dmv offices will be closed this furlough friday. more hot weather today is expected to cool down, maybe? we're hoping? by the end of the week. so our question of the day, do you wish our warm weather would stick around? >> didn't last week, we have a question about are you tired of the cold weather? [ laughter ] >> yeah. >> i guess it depends on -- on where you live, though. >> right. exactly. >> send your response -- >> my thermometer said like 114 yesterday at my house so... >> it was 90 by the beach and

no breeze, a problem. >> so do you want the warm weather to stick around a little longer? send your responses to mornings@cbs5.com. we're also on facebook and twitter. 5:12. there is no "spare the air" day today. tracy? >> yeah. no "spare the air" day but that doesn't mean it's not going to be hot. and in regards to your question, i don't mind if the warm weather sticks around. i just don't like the hot weather. yesterday was a hot day. here's a look at some locations and some of their temperatures today. 101 in walnut creek. see? that's just hot. 101 in pleasanton. 100 in concord. 89 milpitas, berkeley 75 degrees. doesn't that sound good? we got more bay area cities and more triple-digit highs in the forecast today coming right up. ,, ,,,,

into downtown oakland. and bart is running at least 35 trains now all on time. but as we have been talking about, yesterday afternoon's intense heat caused major delays for bart and caltrain. they had to slow down the trains to reduce the pressure on the rails. so right now, everything is on time. but if we get more of these high temperatures, we could see delays again. so we are watching mass transit closely. if you have a question about your morning commute and you are on the road, remember our radio partners, kcbs 740-am and 106.9-fm. for the very latest traffic information, get the latest update on possible mass transit delays. that is your traffic. for your forecast, here's tracy. >> hey, thanks, elizabeth. round 2 especially if you live well inland today, we are going to revisit, though, because definitely worth talking about. record heat, what happened yesterday? well, it was a scorcher. santa rosa hit 107 degrees. san jose at 102. san rafael at 102.

oakland at 99 degrees. san francisco 92 degrees. as elizabeth said, i didn't even know it could get that hot in san francisco. well, yesterday it was a really hot day but today things are going to cool down a bit. hot inland with a heat advisory until 8:00 p.m. tonight. limit your time in the sunshine, drink plenty of water and definitely check on the elderly if you know of any nearby, maybe some neighbors, kids and also pets. temperatures for today, they are cooling down a bit. 70 degrees in daly city. i'll take it. 68 in pacifica. 72 in half moon bay. 80s in mountain view. 94 sunnyvale, 95 san jose. 101 degrees in morgan hill. 89 degrees in milpitas. along the bay, yesterday the 90s for oakland, today the 70s. that's quite a dip down in

temperatures. triple-digit highs. 101 in livermore. 1000 pits bug, 101 antioch, 101 in brentwood. north bay locations the 90s in napa, 95 in sonoma, believe it or not you are lower about 10 degrees lower than yesterday's highs. 95 in petaluma, 92 in novato, upper 80s in kentfield. 84 mill valley, 75 sausalito, lower 90s yesterday. so today we cool down for the coast and the bay. inland locations will get in on the cooldown tomorrow. fog returns i know you're looking forward to that. thursday and friday, an unseasonably cool temperature, saturday, sunday and monday. so all this hot weather will be like a distant memory by the time the weekend gets here. that's a look at your weather. back up to you. >> thank you. 5:18. let's take a look at some of the stories we're following this morning. firefighters working on the northeast side of mt. diablo right now. this is the curry fire that

your realtime captioner is linda marie macdonald. caption colorado, l.l.c. these are some pictures from overnight. progress to report now in that fire that's burning on the east side of mt. diablo. firefighters have made a line around most of it this morning. hello, it's wednesday, the 25th of august. i'm john kessler. >> i'm sydnie kohara. more on that fire in just a moment. but first, the heat expected to taper off in a lot of areas of the bay area today. i know in the east bay where i live, what, 105 degrees. >> at least. >> a little more in other areas. so let's check in with tracy for more on what you can expect today in your area. >> thanks, sydnie. it was definitely hot yesterday so let's talk about the records, the record heat, the record temperatures. santa rosa 107 degrees yesterday beat the old record at 102. san jose hit 102. 102 in san rafael. oakland just one degree shy of 100 degrees. and a new record in san

francisco yesterday with 92 degrees. we do still have an excessive heat advisory in effect for today essentially for the north, east and south bay valleys and you can see why. that's where it's still going to be extremely hot today. 101 in fairfield, 100 in concord, 101 in livermore, 59 in san jose, 97 degrees in santa rosa. the closer you get to the bay, we're cooling down around the bay, 74 in oakland, almost 20 degrees cooler. 86 fremont. 68 pacifica. 74 san francisco. so we should get a nice breeze coming in today. we didn't get that yesterday. mid-90s in santa clara, for example. 59 in san jose. 101 in morgan hill. 86 fremont. 84 union city, 89 milpitas, just to name a few. seven-day forecast kind of breaks it down. today inland location really won't feel the cooldown, but by thursday, you will. winds will begin to shift. the fog returns. you'll be looking forward to that, won't you?

temperatures in the 80s thursday and friday. and believe it or not, by saturday, sunday, monday and tuesday, we are back to unseasonably cool weather. 70s inland, 60s around the bay and the 50s are back along the coastline. that's a look that's a look at your seven-day forecast. here's elizabeth with your traffic. >> thank you, tracy. south bay looking good. everything is top speeds for this area. san jose state university starts today and so expect more traffic than usual on 280 on the guadalupe parkway. it was pretty busy in the 280 shot yesterday after 8:00 so already getting going. so more cars may be on the road. 280 approaching the 880 interchange. right now everything is nice and quiet. not many incidents on the road. we are off to a great start as far as that goes. here's a live look at westbound 580 close to the tassajara exit. all green this morning on our sensors as you head towards the dublin grade. it actually still looks pretty good coming out of the altamont

pass. slowing on the sensors some speeds just under 50 miles per hour but it's still not really impacting your drive time. 14 minutes on westbound 580 from the altamont pass out towards the dublin interchange so looks good all the way from castro valley. all right, mass transit for right now all running on time. we saw major delays during the evening commute on bart and caltrain. they had to actually run the trains slower because of the excessive heat yesterday afternoon. but right now everything is on time. but they are saying that could happen again today if this heat continues. and tracy says that it likely is. all right. that's a check of your traffic. back upstairs to you guys. >> thank you, elizabeth and thank you, tracy, as well. this fire that's burning on the northeast side of mt. diablo is 75% contained this morning. it's the curry fire. it broke out near curry canyon road yesterday afternoon. the fire had at one time threat and a home but it was saved. fire crews got some relief with the wind dying down and humidity going up. >> we had aircraft working

throughout the day, fire engines, hand crews, crews that put in hose lines in to try to mitigate this. >> the first challenge firefighters faced though yesterday was a downed power line. they had to wait for pg&e crews before they could get past that to attack the fire. investigators still trying it figure out if the power line started the fire. people near bakersfield where another wildfire is burning have been allowed to go back home. this is the town of la beck in kern county. 1300 acres burned there since yesterday. higher humidity has helped to slow the fire's spread. no one has been injured. no structures burned. and the cause of that one is not known, either. a man and a woman severely burned when their boat caught fire in benicia last night at the glen cove marina. both people jumped into the water to escape the flames. they are being treated for burns. two dogs were also on the boat. one slightly burned and is being cared for at a pet

clinic. no word what started that fire. 5:35. still pretty warm out there. but not quite as hot as -- today not quite as hot. record high temperatures all over the bay area yesterday. triple digits as tracy mentioned common in the east bay. heat may have kept some people away from the farmer's market in concord but those farmers say this heat very good for their crops. nobody could keep cool at waterworld, california, because that park, oh, it's only open on weekends now. that's when school is in session. for the beaches, they were crowded as you might have expected including this one in santa cruz. it was one of the sunniest days of the year there. some of the kids on the beach, though, were supposed to be somewhere else. >> they got ready for school like it was a normal day. i turned the other way, school or no! where are we going, mom! we're playing hooky today! we came out here. >> don't worry, they will make up their homework, i just know

it. the santa cruz beach boardwalk was having a strong summer business wise doing better than last year. the park says the heat wave is just icing on the cake for them. a woman driving an suv that plowed into five people at a bus stop did not have a license according to san francisco police. that crash happened just after 9:30 yesterday morning in the visitacion valley neighborhood. the driver of a ford explorer heading down a hill when she says there was some sort of mechanical failure. >> she wasn't able to brake. the vehicle crossed the street and hit a group of pedestrians that were waiting for a bus. >> two of the people hit are in critical condition. the other three in serious condition. the driver not hurt. she was cited for driving without a license but has not been charged with a crime. the suv is being examined to see if there were any mechanical malfunctions. a dmv office in san jose closed today because of a

computer snafu. today the alma avenue branch is getting technical upgrades. a computer glitch on monday formed the branch to close down. today's closure only affects that alma office. all dmv offices will be closed statewide though on friday. it's declared a furlough day. it was missing monday at a dmv office in san francisco. two-thirds of the staff didn't show up for work at the office on fell street. a union official tells the "san francisco chronicle" he hadn't heard of any organized sickout. the dmv brought in other workers to help but that didn't prevent some customers from being stuck in line for hours. it could be the largest drug bust in u.s. history and this is what it looks like. sacramento county sheriff's deputy showing off some of the $200 million worth of cocaine, meth, seized in gilroy. last week's bus was as a result

of two years -- last week's bust the result of two years undercover investigation. it was initiated by a low level street buy. the suspects are possibly linked to a mexican drug cartel. increased security around uc-berkeley. a joint police patrol is aimed at reducing crime south of campus police officer. a cal and berkeley city police officer will team up in two squad cars patrolling from 10:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. thursday through saturdays. more teams will be on patrol at football games. a funeral is planned this morning for a 15-year-old the victim of an accidental shooting in oakland. two boys were playing with a gun on filbert street august 16th at home. one gun went off killing a teenager. police are trying to figure out where goodwin got the gun. in downtown san jose tonight a candlelight vigil will be held to honor police officers and victims of violent

crime. this annual event first held last year to honor vahid hosseini a convenience store owner murdered outside a bank in 2008 and jeffrey fontana a san jose police officer shot and killed in almaden valley nine years ago. that vigil begins at 7:00 at city hall. 5:39. it's a landslide victory in arizona for john mccain who is once again the republican nominee for his u.s. senate seat. the former presidential candidate won yesterday's primary election 56 to 32% over his opponent jd hayworth. the tea party backed hayworth leading some to believe it might be close. it's not clear yet who mccain will face in november since the democratic race is still too close to call. mccain says the election is going to be crucial. >> no one is satisfied with the current condition of our country. i know arizonans like americans elsewhere are rightly concerned with the direction seem to be

heading in, staggering unemployment, a devastated housing market that shows little signs of improvement. >> and there is a too close to call u.s. senate race in alaska where incumbent lisa murkowski is slightly behind her challenger in the republican primary. newcomer joe miller had high- profile support from the tea party and former governor sarah palin. shirley sherrod has turned down an offer to return to the united states department of agriculture. she is the woman who was force the out of her job last month over a video that made her appear to be racist. she met yesterday with ag secretary tom vilsack and said she may do some consulting work on racial issuers former president jimmy carter expected to return to the united states tomorrow with an american who has been in custody ever since he crossed the border from china to north korea in january. carter arriving in the north korean capital today. the government there said it would release the 31-year-old

american if carter went to get him. the man from boston was sentenced to hard labor for trespassing. this is a private mission for the former president as was bill clinton's trip to north korea last summer to bring home two american journalists. today a string of attacks all over iraq targeted local government and police forces. at least 43 people are dead. there are no claims of responsibility. next week president obama plans to deliver a speech to market end of combat operations in iraq. he has asked all the networks for prime time air on tuesday. 5:41. new term guidelines to help pedestrians. they will have more time to cross the street but that means more drivers will see red. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

good morning. a look at your marin county drive. we have a camera in mill valley at 101, everything is fine. headlights southbound towards the waldo grade top speeds across the golden gate bridge. so marin county looks good as well as the drive along the peninsula. top speeds on 101 and 280. no incidents. as far as your south bay ride we have another camera in milpitas. this is near the 880/237 interchange. we have a live traffic sensors that update constantly due to conditions on the road and right now westbound 237 traffic is all in the clear as you head towards mountain view. we can make this a little bit bigger. this is westbound 237 traffic so no delays. give it another hour and a half or so and that will likely change but for right now, everything is very quiet. this is a live look up the nimitz freeway through oakland. right there by the coliseum. like i said, just not a lot to

talk about all the way up into downtown oakland still looks good. here's some travel times for more popular routes across the east bay. 18 minutes from the carquinez bridge to the maze if you are using the eastshore freeway. 15 minutes slight delays out of the altamont pass on westbound 580 but no problems again up the nimitz freeway all the way through oakland. and bart is on time, they got at least 40 trains now running on time. had pretty major delays for the evening commute yesterday on bart and caltrain. but for right now you're good to go. that's your traffic. for another check of your hot forecast, you should have a rooftop pool! liam mayclem said that on his facebook page. >> i don't know if people around here are ready for a rooftop pool. you know what kind of condition you have to be to show yourself off on a rooftop pool? you know, you got a point!
