here is a look at interstate 880 in oakland. it is backed up north of san leandro or near the san leandro and oakland boundary line and continues slow to downtown oakland. 580 has been slow near the dublin interchange and so has 680. if you're driving into san jose, all of the freeways there will be slow. cal train has major delays coming out of gilroy because a train hit a person in gilroy. if you take cal train, you should collect in with them and see how long it will delay you or if you can think of an alternate way of transport this morning. 7:48. let's bring steve paulson back. >> sal, thank you, sir. mostly clear skies. a little bit of fog floating around southern marin county and some on the coast. but that is really about it. trying to make the spill over to the golden gate. but it has been held in check. i expect it to burn back.
7:49 am
water temps are pretty cold. i think the coast will have to deal with fog. inland, bayside, i think the fog will be trapped under a dome of high pressure as it builds in. today is the in-between day. the cloud deck towards santa cruz and monterey. a major blow. this has spawned many tornadoes throughout much of nebraska. big time hail reports. it will only be a big impact for many across the northern plains today as it finally comes out of the inner mountain region. we had a lot of 40s this morning. we are slowly warming up. still cool for this time. expect to see 60s by the 8:00 hour as temperatures warm up. 51 san ramon. concord pavilion, 53 degrees. now we're getting the 50s. except for the patchy fog favoring a few areas on the coast. everything is pointing to high pressure kicking in. once this low moves out. as it does, the door will open up in the desert southwest and the high will build in. not so much today or tomorrow
7:50 am
but by thursday, friday and then on the weekend. 70s near the coast. but 100s for some inland. it will be really hot out to the valley, sacramento and san joaquin valley. 60s to low 80s for some. temperatures still a few degrees below average for this time of year. inland coast and bay are near average to slightly above believe it or not. we have been down below average for the longest time. when you're 20 degrees below average in june, you have to make it up somewhere. we will make it up by this weekend as inland temps will be near 100 degrees. >> hundred. >> hundred. hundred out there in the back 40. >> man, oh, man. >> steve you and i always get a lot of sleep, ten, 12 hours of sleep. >> wake up, dave. >> it is a joke. it may be costing you money. in our 8:00 hour, how getting more sleep could mean more money for you. plus, new developments were north korea about an american student jailed over there.

8:07 am
more in the coming days. the warriors is set up for the future. you have to take care of curry. he will get a max contract. you have to convince durant to stick around, which i don't think will be hard after this year. durant may have to take a couple million less than the max for the early part of his contract. i think he will do that. if he does, they will be able to keep the group together. they will be able to keep iguodala and most of the bench. it has been phenomenal what they have been able to do. >> do you know who agrees with you? lebron james. he said they're lined up. >> yeah. >> most of them are in their 20s. >> yeah. >> he said a few championships down the road. >> sure. >> unless other teams do something to come together. >> to doubt. >> thank you, scott. >> get some sleep. oakland is planning one of the biggest celebrations every. a victory parade should be as big as fun as the one back in
