anthony batts will stay in oakland for now. someone else was chosen for the san jose top cop job. anne makovec has the latest. good morning. reporter: the phrase at least for now is very important to point out because anthony batts, the police chief here in oakland, has said he is not sure about his future with the department. he has only so far served one year of a three-year contract he signed here in oakland and it was a real shocker to a lot of people a couple of weeks ago when he announced he was a finalist for the top cop job in san jose. then yesterday the statement came out that he did not get the job. san jose city managers said to have picked acting chief chris moore instead. the city council in san jose could aprove her choice as early as next week. so some people in oakland appear to be breathing a sigh of relief. here's the mayor's spokesman. >> i appreciate his leadership and commitment to community policing and to raising professional standards. i am optimistic that the chief

will continue to serve the city. >> reporter: but chief batts' statement last night begs the question of what else he might have cooking. he says, "i have not made a final decision as to my future with this agency. it still needs to be determined if i am a fit for the city of oakland's vision for the future." back down to san jose, plenty of challenges for chris moore. church leaders in san jose have expressed concerns over the pd's relations with the cities asian and hispanic populations. moore is coming from the inside of that department. he is caucasian, a 29-year veteran and attorney, said to be well respected by the rank- and-file. but the coalition for justice and accountability, that is kind of grouping of the naacp and several asian and hispanic groups, they are holding a rally today asking the san jose city council not to ratify the city manager's choice. they are apparently not interested in acting chief

chris moore. so as i mentioned, the future of both agencies still up in the air this morning. elizabeth. >> very interesting. in oakland this morning, anne makovec, thank you. well, the man accused of killing a woman and then burning her body in a car reportedly fathered a child with her. according to the san francisco examiner, family members say 29- year-old almon johnson is the father of vanessa herrera's 7- month-old son. johnson was arrested monday. he is accused of killing herrera, then burning her body in san francisco's lower haight neighborhood. the investigation into the san bruno blast is going public. the state public utilities commission planning to hold some public meetings. but so far, no date has been set. the commission president says there will also be a public clearinghouse for all documents related to the deadly blast. the puc has been criticized that its staff is operating in private as it looks into that disaster. in another development, a

bay area congresswoman tells the "san francisco chronicle," pg&e can't find records to back up pressure levels for large sections of pipe. congresswoman jackie speier says pg&e's president told her that the utility is unable to produce documents on manufacturing and installation for 30% of its pipelines in and around urban areas. speier is concerned about faulty welds like the one blamed for the explosion in san bruno. the golden gate bridge board could decide today whether or not to phase out human toll collectors. sonja shin joins us live to explain what led to the upcoming decision. sonja, good morning. reporter: good morning. tolltakers here at the golden gate bridge have been collecting tolls and greeting drivers since the bridge opened in 1937. but their days here may be numbered. yesterday the golden gate bridge finance committee voted 8-3 to get rid of human toll collectors that could save $19 million over the first eight years. the school board meeting later

this morning and may vote today to eliminate the jobs of 32 toll collectors and two other bridge workers. the toll collectors have maintained that they add a personal touch to crossing the san francisco landmark. >> we can't just be going over here and saying, well, yeah, 60% or something let's go 100%. forget about who is operating the thing. i mean, if you go to hawaii and say i'm going to go on vacation, do you walk into a booth and say i'm going to have a lea around my neck instead of a kiss and hug from a person? you're dealing with people's lives. >> reporter: the district is looking for several ways to close a shortfall of $89 over the next five years. they say an all-electric tropic toll collection system is the wave of the future and shouldn't go a big adjustment for san francisco drivers because two-thirds across the bridge already pay electronically with fastrak. the new system would eliminate cash altogether. drivers who pay with cash would

need to get fastrak or cameras what snap photos of license plates and people would be sent bills. if an all-electric tropic system is passed today or voted on today and passed, then tolltakers could be -- the jobs could be gone here as early as next september. >> thank you, sonja shin at the golden gate bridge. despite plans for a major antigovernment protest today, egyptian security forces are almost nowhere to be found. this was the scene yesterday as furious mobs attacked government buildings. the protests are being coordinated on facebook and through tweets. thousands of egyptians are expected to fill the streets of cairo today protesting what they say is a corrupt an inept government. police are scarce on main roads and bridges. president obama has called on the egyptian president to make changes but refuses to take sides. 5:06. let's check weather and traffic before you head out.

in effect through 10 a.m. it's affecting the inland valleys and the north bay. we have fog at the coast, as well. that's not something we have seen in at least two weeks. some partly cloudy skies out there for inside the bay. the clouds will still be there. we won't see as much sunshine as we did yesterday. and we are going to see temperatures anywhere from 3 to 8 degrees cooler than what we saw just yesterday. daytime highs inside the bay 69 degrees yesterday. today we are heaping to top out at 62 degrees. hazy sunshine will persist in the north bay and it is all because we talked about all throughout the week, this dome of high pressure was going to slowly start to break down. fog slowly begins pushing n that's why the coastline is seeing this with the return of the onshore winds. and out behind that fog, this low pressure system just may be a soaker. we're expecting about .25" of rain starting saturday night and into sunday. there is even a slight possibility of some thunderstorms on sunday.

so be careful out there. 57 degrees for daly city. 57 for pacifica, as well. yesterday we were looking at san jose topping out at 70 degrees. it will reach about 66 degrees. the warmest temperatures will be in the south bay today. into the east bay, because of all the fog, we expect temperatures to be quite cool. 57 for pittsburg and antioch. 56 in brentwood. the warmest of temperatures topping out 64 for pleasanton. the north bay will see that fog hold on keeping them in the upper 50s, the warmest of temperatures right now. 62 for santa rosa. here's your seven-day forecast. talked about that rain. 50% chance for saturday. then it's looking like a significant amount of rain on sunday. it all clears out late sunday so that by the start of your workweek that dome of high pressure rebuilds yet again. and it will allow temperatures to rebound back into the mid- 60s. that's your forecast. what's going on, on the roads?

here's gianna. >> actually a lot. friday is going to be one of our busiest days this week. accident in san bruno north 101 just before 380 just south of there, three to four vehicles involved according to chp. possible lanes blocked, as well. so give yourself some extra time. noninjury. they are just waiting on a tow. foggy along the peninsula. that will affect the drive through daly city and especially through pacifica. very limited visibility this morning. northbound guadalupe parkway, right at curtner, overturned vehicle left lane blocked. this accident did have injuries. looks like you still have fire crews on scene. tow trucks are headed to the scene to clear it. traffic very backed up. traffic problem-free in the rest of the south bay, no delays in milpitas 880/237 no delays. better news for westbound 80 at 680. earlier injury accident blocking two right lanes. no delays, no yellow on our sensors, everything cleared out. things are moving well through that portion but don't forget, eastshore freeway will be affected by some fog this

morning. limited visibility. also on some of our bay area bridges. the carquinez bridge to the maze, richmond/san rafael bridge, and the benicia bridge. also advisory issued for the golden gate bridge, although things are looking a little bit better through that portion. and if you are taking the bay bridge this morning, it's starting to get foggier through here. we have noticed a change here in our camera so give yourself some extra time. metering lights are still off and you're clear across the upper deck int san francisco. >> thank you. here's a look at this morning's top stories. san jose will soon have a new police chief. the city manager has selected interim police chief chris moore for the position. that means anthony batts will remain police chief of oakland for now. the city council could give final approval to moore next week. the board of the golden gate bridge district could decide today whether to phase out human toll collectors. the district's finance committee recommended the to move save more than $19 million over eight years.

could approve her choice as early as next week. but that's not final yet. >> whether somebody's from the inside or the outside doesn't really matter that much to me. i just want the best person. >> reporter: is it fair to say this is good for the union? >> i think that would be premature to say. i think when you have two outstanding candidates that are well qualified which is what we asked for, someone that was well qualified to do the job, that's a win. >> reporter: now, back here in oakland, mayor jean quan sent out a statement last night saying she is optimistic about chief batts continuing to serve the city of oakland. they are going to have to come to some agreements. batts continues to express concern about the support and resources offered by the city. he is being a good sport about the san jose job though which he apparently lost. his department released a statement yesterday saying, chief batts wishes his friend and colleague newly appointed police chief chris moore the

best of luck. and if chris moore is indeed confirmed to be the police chief, he is going to need some luck. there is some flak right now from several community groups, including several minority groups, who don't want him as chief. in fact, they are holding a get- together this afternoon at 1:00 trying to encourage the city council not to ratify the city manager's choice. so again, the future of both departments still up in the air. >> very interesting developments. thank you, anne makovec in oakland. state utility regulators plan to launch public hearings on the san bruno pipeline explosion. the commission has been criticized that its staff is separating in private as it looks into the disaster. now the commission president is promising, quote, a single easily accessible public process including a clearinghouse for all documents. no word though on when those hearings will start. the man accused of killing a woman and then burning her

personal touch to crossing the san francisco landmark. >> we can't just be going over here and saying, well, yeah, 60% or something let's go 100%. forget about who is operating the thing. i mean, if you go to hawaii and say i'm going to go on vacation, do you walk into a booth and say i'm going to have a lea around my neck instead of a kiss and hug from a person? you're dealing with people's lives. >> reporter: the district is looking for several ways to close a shortfall of $89 over the next five years. they say an all-electric tropic toll collection system is the wave of the future and shouldn't be a big adjustment for san francisco drivers because two-thirds across the bridge already pay electronically with fastrak. the new system would eliminate cash altogether. drivers who pay with cash would need to get fastrak or cameras what snap photos of license plates and people would be sent bills. if an electronic system is approved today, the tolltakers

here at the golden gate bridge could be gone by next september. >> thank you, sonja shin at the golden gate bridge. let's check weather and traffic. robert, we're counting on you for a good weekend forecast. >> you know what? you have lost that bet because i just don't have that for you. in fact, we start this friday with a fog advisory for the third day in a row in the north and east bay valleys, the carquinez strait and the delta. heads up out the door. visibility is down to a quarter mile but not limited to this area. we are seeing changes out at the ocean, so we're now beginning to see fog at the coastline. so there's going to be very slow clearing today and as we slowly clear the skies, temperatures are going to be significantly cooler than just yesterday. san jose 69 degrees, only expected to get to 66 today. half moon bay nearly 70 yesterday, just will barely make 60 today. that is only the beginning of the cooldown.
