that fire officials say they are optimistic about being able to contain the fire sooner than they thought. cal fine told me this morning last night they made significant progress and that the fire has not grown since yesterday afternoon. they say part of that had to do with the winds that were going on in the area. they actually helped them -- worked in their favor pushing the fire back. the question this morning is, will these weather conditions work in their favor today? and for that let's send things over to lawrence karnow in the weather center. lawrence. >> good morning, cate. i think we have a couple of days here to really get a good handle on this fire. the weather conditions going to improve for fighting the fire. in fact, the winds have switched directions. that's some good news. this is more of a moist wind that's coming off the coastline carrying with it some higher humidity and some cooler temperatures. that fire continuing to burn at mount diablo but the wind switching to a southwesterly direction about 15 to 20 miles per hour. yesterday, up in the 90s in some spots. today back into the 80s. and the humidity upwards of about 35 to 45% so improving conditions for the firefighters

there. and maybe even a little better by tomorrow. now, around the rest of the bay area this morning, we are looking at 50s and some 60s early on. by the afternoon, we'll find a whole lot of sunshine. the cooling trend continuing across the board. yesterday it was 102 degrees in livermore. today, well, much cooler still hot at 93 but much more comfortable and 88 degrees in concord where yesterday it was 97. more on your weather coming up. right now let's check the roads with elizabeth. >> when it rains it pours in traffic. suddenly we got a number of different accidents and we got two in fact multi-vehicle crashes both on the nimitz freeway one just a little south of the other so the first one is in hayward southbound 880 by 92. the middle lanes are blocked because of a crash again a multi-vehicle crash and then just a little farther south as a make your way closer towards union city southbound 880 approaching alvarado niles. another crash also blocking lanes also involving multiple cars so suddenly we're seeing big backups up and down that freeway. we have a traffic alert in effect now the.

there was a stalled out bus for a while. it's causing a traffic alert because it's blocking the ramp from 12 to westbound 80. so heads up in that area not sure how much longer it's going to be there. but you can use red top road as an alternate in the meantime. over to the bay bridge toll plaza now, they did turn the metering lights on shortly before 6:00 so now we're left with backups, unfortunately, especially in the middle lanes. the fastrak lanes quickly building towards the overcrossings. that's traffic. back to you. >> thank you. new this morning, a coroner is at the scene of a fire -- an apartment fire in berkeley on oregon street. it broke out about 1:40 this morning on the building's top floor forcing evacuations. it went to two alarms. the firefighters needed about a half hour to control it. we know at least one person was injured and the coroner's presence points to a fatality. developing news regarding the syrian crisis. the syrian government announced it accepted russia's proposal to place its chemical weapons under international control

to let you unlock your phone without having to use a pass code. >> and that's the thing. that would definitely help with the privacy issue. at all of these types of apple events even when you have leaked information they always throw in one surprise so it's either the fingerprint sensor or an expensive possibly even free phone. these items will go on sale september 20th and in about 4 hours, we'll be actually seeing the phones here in cupertino. reporting live here i'm sue kwon, kpix 5. >> time to get in line, sue. thanks. it is 6:10. miley cyrus back in the headlines again but there's one front page she won't be featured on. the magazine pulling miley off it. >> the wildfire near yosemite national park is still burning. how much it cost so far. >> temperatures cooling down around the bay area. that should help firefighters locally and around the state. how long will that continue? we'll talk about it coming up. >> and we're watching two separate multi-vehicle crashes on the nimitz.

almost one long line of traffic now from san lorenzo down towards union city. didn't take long for things to jam up. also that ramp closure has caused a traffic alert in fairfield that. ramp from westbound 12 to westbound 80 shut down now, no etos. it's a stalled transit bus. they are working to clear it so expect delays. find alternates. the metering lights were turned on, on the bay bridge typical before 6:00. 5:53 was the start time this morning. now the delays are beginning especially in the right and the middle lanes, left lanes still look okay and backed up toward the overcrossing. that's the latest "timesaver traffic." for more on your forecast we are cooling down here's lawrence. >> temperatures down around the bay area today. low clouds and fog thickening up and surging back onshore even dense fog along the coastline. man, it looks like that fog will be a factor in the next couple of days as we'll watch temperatures dropping off over the next few and then looks like by the afternoon, though, sunshine for most. not as hot around the bay area, still going to be toasty in the interior valleys and then brief

cooling and then we are going to start to warm things up once again. but for now, high pressure weakening somewhat that's allowing for a stronger sea breeze to kick in and that's carrying with it more low. that's good news for the firefighters, the morgan fire at mount diablo. they will get a better chance over the next couple of days. 101 fresno. 95 sacramento. 71 monterey. 97 degrees in ukiah. around the bay today we'll see temperatures moving up into the 80s in the south bay even low 90s into morgan hill. about 81 in san mateo. and 76 degrees in hayward. east bay temperatures up in the 80s and some 90s in places like brentwood about 94 degrees. that will be one of the hot spots. 90 fairfield. inside the bay 60s and 70s. looks like the next couple of days these temperatures are dropping off a few degrees as we head through tomorrow and then we'll start to slowly warm things up into thursday and friday and probably the first part of the weekend before some cooling weather returns on sunday into monday but the good news is they are seeing higher

humidity, they are seeing less wind, winds coming out of a different direction which helps the firefighters hopefully get a handle on the fire. >> did you say weekend? >> yes. >> is it legal to say that? >> it's tuesday already?

lime green, bright blue phone. sounds silly. look how many ipods they sold because they made them in different colors. they were all the same but colors. >> we love options. >> the key is it would be a cheaper phone either 350 to 399, full cost, that's before any subsidy from a carrier. carriers could bring that down to the historically cheap for an iphone if they subsidize it over 2 years or it plays to the monthly no contract market which is really popular, people who go month to month without a two-year deal. that's over a third of all cell phone carriers. >> it's cheaper. what is it missing? >> probably a little of everything. i would expect it to not have the retina display. it might be less on the processor. less on maximum storage. still a very good phone. kind of like buying a new version. 4s. >> that's so smart because when you go down you can buy a 4 and

get it free. >> now you feel like you're buying the new thing. psychologically works on people who say i got that cool new ipod -- or iphone that just came out just like you got a new 5s. we are both buying the cool new phone but i don't see a big mojo thing going on here. we need a surprise in apple. we are not seeing it in features and specs and that fingerprint sincer could be it but not just hardware. it has to be cool in terms of what it does. they have to build in some cool new feature a service we really want. also, we'll be getting itunes radio, which directly goes after pandora. that was already known. now it's going to be coming out in the new ios operating system. >> they had to do something. >> yeah. they needed something as big as possible because the buzz is around, whether it's fair or not, once the buzz is around, you need to counter that. that's 10 a.m. today we'll have our live coverage starting at cnet at 10 a.m. at cnet.com. >> we'll be watching. thank you. and remember, you can find more of brian cooley's tech watch

segments on kpix.com/mornings. >> nice purple jacket. >> thank you. wanted to match the purple iphone. >> might get your wish. time for a look at what's coming up later on "cbs this morning." charlie rose joins us live in new york. and what a weekend you had, my friend. good morning. >> good morning, frank and michelle. well, it's one of the more interesting weekends that i have had. we'll have more of that interview with syrian president bashar assad and we'll take a look at the potential compromise that would demand the syrian government hand over its chemical weapons. we also have in fact the president's response to me on sunday morning in damascus when i asked him would he accept that kind of deal. also joining us senator john mccain. he has been part of the debate and he will be here from washington. the news is back in the morning. see you at 7:00. >> charlie, a quick question. what were your impressions of mr. assad? >> well, i thought he was remarkably calm for a man who may be facing the kind of military onslaught that he might be facing. i thought he was

conversational. i thought he clearly would say things and i expected that as you always do, uhm, there's always tone and definition, you know, people always say, do you believe him? well, you -- it's not necessarily believing or not if you are talking about state craft. it's always a question of trust. but verify. and especially when you're talking about weapons of mass destruction. >> how difficult was it to get the interview? was it a matter of a phone call or several weeks or how did that all work out? >> well, that's exactly right. i picked up the phone, i said bashar, this is charlie, what about me coming to damascus and let's have a chat? he said i wondered where were you? why don't you come on over? it didn't happen that way at a.m. it happened where i was in conversation with people who were part of his communications staff and i think after a lot of conversations and lots of things back and forth, we finally found a way that we could do it that made it, uhm, acceptable to me and to him,

which was essentially we'll do an unedited interview. we'll have an hour conversation and what we say and do in that one hour will be on the air. clearly works for me. i'm happy to do that. and it worked for them, too. so what came out of it was i think an important conversation with someone who obviously is central to what is happening in washington and in syria and affects not only syria but the rest of the middle east. >> all right, charlie. you did a great job and thank you so much. we'll be watching again. "cbs this morning" starts at 7:00. we'll be right back. stay with us. ,,,,
