7:01 am
the leading edges, making it into parts of south san jose already where it's 68 degrees, the city that was 58. they're running five degrees cooler than 24 hours ago, and fog is inching up the santa cruz coast so combination of these two will start off with sunshine. but then there'll be some changes. it will be cooler coast bay and in san francisco and then tropical cloud, especially san jose, santa clara valley and out towards eastern contra costa county. i think around livermore out to stockton as well. but still seventies eighties nineties to near 100. alright. sal's here at 701 so far so good. something new. are we alright? just the usual. it's the usual state, which is what we like. we do have the usual slowing and a lot of the same places like the bay bridge, for example, we do have some slow traffic there waiting to get onto the spanish looks like a typical wednesday 10 to 15 minute wait before you make it on if you'd rather use the same mateo bridge and get over to the peninsula that way, it looks pretty good when you get over there. there is a little slowing in san mateo, but nothing out of the ordinary. and in the east bay highway four is slow and so
7:02 am
is 6 80 from concord, walnut creek, 701. let's get back to the headlines. thank you, sal. we want to continue. to follow that breaking news out of san jose, where police in the middle of a standoff with a homicide suspect this is near bern, ben dorf in a soaker drives near monterey road in 101. this video you're looking at is from around two this morning. you heard those sirens. that was a police chase. and there you see a large police presence that took position around two o'clock this morning near eatonville elementary school. police say the person who is involved in this barricade is connected to two homicides, including a shooting that happened near mount pleasant, high school around seven o'clock last night. so you're a live look at the scene this morning. people who live in this area have been ordered to shelter in place because the barricaded suspect apparently started shooting at some of the officers. roads in this area are also closed again . it's between monterey road in 101 and ben dorf road. san jose police sergeant christian
7:03 am
camarillo just wrapped up a news conference detailing this second deadly shooting tied to the suspect. here's what he had to say. drove to the city of modesto sometime after committing the homicide here in san jose. in modesto few minutes after nine pm, he shot and killed an adult female. police say the suspect, then drove back to san jose, and since they knew the vehicle he was driving. police followed him. officers eventually tracked him to this residential neighborhood where he remains barricaded in the back yard of a home. right now. maintenance crews are still working to repair bart train tracks in the east bay this morning. a train derailed just before six o'clock last night. this was between the concord and the pleasant hill stations. ktvu is american. tana is live along the track this morning with an overhead view of all the repair work that has been done and you have more details as well on what may have caused this derailment and certainly computers watching as well this
7:04 am
morning trying to figure out how this is going to affect them, amanda yes, well, that's some good news about how it's going to affect the morning commute is you can actually see there's a bart train going by right now. so there are losing these tracks on the left side here. to send bart trains in both directions. but then on the right side here, that truck is the one where that train was derailed. the train used to be sitting right here where you're looking, but it has been removed overnight. but there still are workers here. they need to replace those damaged tracks. we've seen them bring a lot of materials here. obviously those bart trains going through, so that is good news. if you are planning on getting on bar this morning, there will be serviced through this area. officials tell us there were 50 passengers on the train. when the last two cars of the 10 car bart train derailed sky, foxx captured video of the train at a standstill.
7:05 am
passengers we spoke to were shaken. some pulled the emergency door release and evacuated on their own. some had to be rescued by firefighters. a few people were taken away on stretchers, but luckily no one was seriously injured. basically the old part went flying right and went up in the air and then, like everyone was freaking out was like a roller coaster or something, you know. interviewed the train operator from the front lead cab, and they're actually happened to be an off duty train operator in that last car. so we interview them to ask , you know? what did you see? what did you hear? what did it feel like that will help us determine. you know what happened? bart says the initial assessment revealed heat did play a main role in this derailment and caused the track to curve now. of course, if you are planning to come through this area this morning, you will be using that single track so again just that track on the left side, but you will be able
7:06 am
to get through looking at the work that these records have been doing this morning. it seems like they will be here for a while. there are still about a dozen workers here that we've seen come on and off the track, and they've been going up and down, checking the track for damage, so it seems like it could be a while longer before that track is fixed, but again, they are using this one on the left in both directions, so that is good if you are planning to use bart this morning live in concord, amanda keown, panic. ktvu, fox two news. alright thanks, amanda well, the first day of summer brought high temperatures and increased fire danger, so crews were able to react quickly when there was a call about smoking the hills of san mateo county. andre senior joins us live in the studio to explain that these were actually two fires that broke out. and pretty much in the same location and dangerous conditions to on top of that the smoke was coming from the emerald hills neighborhood, and there were evacuations. when the fire started. redwood city officials received several 911 calls about smoke in or near edward edward preserve. near crestwood drive
7:07 am
just before 2 30 today afternoon caller said they were worried flames could be headed towards their homes. there's a pgd power station near where the fire started, and power went off in neighborhoods that back up to the preserve. was headed out on the ride and heard a bunch of explosions. and then a few minutes later, there was smoke, and i'm like, probably not a good time to go away from home pretty scary stuff there. it's not clear yet. if the explosions he heard cause of fire, or the fire caused the explosions, the fires have burned more than 25 acres so far, people who live in the area say. they know there's a fire risk with their homes, backing up to the weiland's neighbors say they were ready to go when told to evacuate. at first, it was a recommended evacuation. and then the sheriff's office came through and said it was mandatory evacuation. and so we. started. that's when we started moving the horses out in the car waiting for her mom, and she had
7:08 am
to grab the cats and the fire department came to the door and ask to sleep. there's a report one firefighter was taken to stanford medical center, but we don't have an update on that person's condition. no one from the neighborhood was hurt and no homes were damaged people we talked within that area safe. they have been concerned about fire danger since early this year, because there's so many trees in that preserve their firefighters say people who live next to the open space have done a good job of clearing dry grass around their properties. but they all know more fires are possible as we face another long and hot summer. back to you, andre. thank you. protest continue outside the supreme court ahead of the justices decision on abortion access the case. at the center of that decision is dobbs versus jackson's women's health organization. the outcome could overturn roe v. wade now, if that happens, it would eliminate federal abortion protections nationwide and instead leave it up to the states to regulate abortion. yesterday morning to protesters jumped the barricade at the court and handcuffed themselves to one another
7:09 am
officers arrested them. decisions are expected to start coming out at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. new this morning today, president biden will call on congress to suspend the federal gas tax for three months. it's an effort to provide some financial relief for americans hit with record high gas prices. right now. the federal gas taxes 18.4 cents a gallon on regular gas and 24.4 cents on a gallon of diesel. the president is also calling on states to take similar action to provide relief from high gas prices. the senate is moving forward with bipartisan gun safety legislation. 14 republicans joined all 50 democrats and supporting the bill. the bill would expand background checks for gun buyers between the ages of 18 and 21 would also increased spending for school safety and mental health programs. the bill also prevents people convicted of domestic abuse from owning a gun. we know there's no such thing as a perfect piece of legislation. we are imperfect human beings. if the bill passes, it will be the first

7:31 am
centers will be open till seven or eight o'clock tonight, and they will also be offering water , snacks and wifi. i always think about it that you know we get work early early early in the morning, and it is it is not even a smidge cold. outside just what are you saying? i'm i'm saying you said cute complaining in the last hour. i'm not complaining, but it'll be a little better coast and bay today it'll be a little better. so not as bad as yesterday. how's that? we'll take it. ah we have a couple of things going on. one is the fog is moving mainly parallel to the coast. it's made it past monterey parts of the santa cruz coast and starting to work its way up towards the san mateo coast right there. that's usually a sure sign that at least most of the coast in the city will call after this is tropical clouds. numerous lightning strikes fresno to bakersfield. some of that could clip the santa clara valley in the east in parts of the east bay. as well today, so plenty going on that will add humidity to the mix for inland taps. so while they may not be
7:32 am
as hot they're going to be on the muggy side clear than fog moves north son, then tropical clouds again. if you're north probably won't matter, but if you're south it will and east. it will so seventies eighties nineties to near 100. alright 7 31 sounds here now, and he's going to talk about the really kind of moderate commute. we're having, steve. we do have slowdowns as we normally do. if you're driving to the bay bridge, for example, you are going to see a slowdown before you make it. onto the span, however, is pretty typical of what we see. san mateo bridge is crowded but not stop and go, and then we have stop and go traffic on highway four and 6 80 when we come back we'll take a little bit more of a look at that east bay and also touch on some of the slowdowns were staying in the silicon valley 7 32, let's go back to the headlines. thank you, sal. let's go back to san jose, where police are still involved in a standoff with the man who barricaded himself in a backyard. this is a live picture of the scene. the man at the center of this barricade is accused of two homicides. same
7:33 am
as a police have surrounded of the homicide suspect at ben dorf drive near asuka avenue. that's not far from eatonville elementary school and highway 101. in this live picture, you see a number of police patrol vehicles parked in the area. their command. vehicle at the end of that street there. people who live in this neighborhood are being told to shelter in place and keep their doors locked. also if you can't avoid it, please avoid this area. if you can. there's crime scene tape criss crossing the streets there. there's also police special operations officers on standby in this neighborhood. now authorities say the barricaded man is wanted for shooting and killing a man last night in san jose, police say. the man then drove to modesto, where he shot and killed a woman and police tracked the man's vehicle as he was driving back to the south bay. they chased it into this particular neighborhood, and police say the man later shot at officers, so some of the people who live in this area have been evacuated, many others being told just stay
7:34 am
indoors. we will be bringing you updates on this standoff in san jose throughout mornings on two well, bart has resumed service between the concord and pleasant hill stations this morning following a train derailment two cars of a 10 car train derailed between the concord and pleasant hill stations yesterday afternoon. cruz didn't work all through the night to remove the derailed train and begin fixing the tracks this morning. bart is going to run trains in both directions, but it will be on one track through that area. so if you need to go through there, you should expect some delays. several passengers did suffer minor injuries, but most people were able to walk away part says it is possible that the severe heat that we experienced yesterday damage that rail and that caused the problem. derailments are rare for transit systems, but they do happen and this we're having no major injuries and not any damage to the opposite track is very good news. again bart says trains are running this morning in both directions between concord and
7:35 am
pleasant hill, but expect delays because the trains are running on that single track to get around the area where the train did derail. firefighters across the bay area responded to several brush fires during yesterday's hot temperatures. two fires broke out in san mateo county and in solano county, a grass fire burned yesterday afternoon at western street in horizon drive. that's in fairfield, near travis air force base. that fire was brought under control within an hour. thankfully firefighters in san jose put out a small fire at a homeless encampment to that fire reported in the area of shallenberger road and oakland road. around 10 30 yesterday morning, firefighters were able to bring it under control by noon. county firefighters battled to brush fires along the ultimate past prompted the closure of lanes in the eastbound direction of 5 80, but crews were able to get both fires. under control. contra costa county health officials are warning people to stay away from blue green algae blooms around discovery bay. now they say large blooms of algae were discovered in several
7:36 am
locations. contact with a toxin produced by those blooms can make people and pets very sick people we talked to say they are disappointed that the water is off limits, but they do understand. that's safety comes first. well i mean, it does suck . we'd like to just have some float days and enjoy the water and we really can't because it's gross. you know, we can still go out boating and stuff, but being able to just enjoy the water. doesn't really happen. well warning signs are up at the marina in discovery bay and people are being advised to stay on the shore and avoid eating fish that's caught in that area . a shortage of lifeguards has created a difficult summertime situation for private and public swimming pools. the american lifeguard association says lifeguard trainers the red cross and the y m c a normally train around 300,000 lifeguards a year to work at local swimming pools . but when the pools were closed during the pandemic there was almost no lifeguard training so many former lifeguards moved on to other pursuits. then the
7:37 am
trump administration paused the popular j one visa program that had permitted foreigners to take temporary summer jobs. even though that visa program has been reinstated. the consequences are still long lasting. we were having to close our outdoor pools for a time because we simply didn't have the lifeguards to manage. all that creaks senior ross more community is short of well trained seasonal lifeguards for its three pools. there's also a shortage of beach lifeguards, but that shortage is not as severe. a new drug sobering center is scheduled to open on monday in san francisco, and it's called the summarize it is located on hayward or howard street in the city south of market neighborhood. the 20 bed facility is going to serve as a safe, clean space where people can get off the streets in detox . they will have access to beds and bathrooms and can stay for 12 hours or longer, if necessary. the center will initially be open daily from eight am until eight pm and then we'll increase its operations to 24 hours a day while it hub is

probably only get the clouds looks like thunderstorm activity, but it's close. we'll stay out to the valley, but we'll mention it. so son, then high clouds, mainly south bay and east bed. santa rosa, oakl jose, the heroes starting to come down a little bit here, it's going to be a tough call in this city could be 74 to 78 or even 68 to 78. depending your location. san jose will get the tropical clouds. and then oakland will get more of a sea breeze this afternoon, but the lightning strikes have been numerous from bakersfield to fresno again, mainly parallel or just to the east of five. but look at the leading edge of the higher clouds already moving in towards tracy stockton. so livermore will get in on that later. today will be the santa clara valley. best opportunity. probably hollister's gilroy for any thunderstorm activity. a lot of this will be dry. the what we call dry lightning and we don't want any lightning causes the fires, but there will be some thunderstorms popping up up in the foothills also in the sierra nevada, maybe for us today, i think really, it's just the cloud cover coming in, but that adds humidity to the mix. for san joaquin valley. maybe the sacramento went up in this year. there's going to be some pretty
8:20 am
good thunderstorms. next 24 hours. sixties seventies eighties nineties, still, one hundred's inland. the air aloft is too warm. that is not going to break down. so i think inland terms we're staying pretty toasty here for a while, but coast and they will cool down, you guys. alright thanks, steve. well, this is summer kicks off. there's now a lifeguard shortage that is affecting pools and beaches across the country. and that includes right here in the bay area. we'll tell you what's driving those numbers next. and a good night's sleep may be hard to come back covid long haulers, the latest research and how it

8:31 am
three of them right on me. i was toasting was oakland airport and downtown. we're both 98. usually there's a difference between the two. not yesterday. so yes, it was hot. there's a lot going on here. now for many, it's sunny and you're saying what you're talking about. there's not a cloud in the sky. we'll go east. you'll find them go south and go west. you'll find him and that's what's going on. fog is racing up the coast is going to be cooler for many on the coast, and i think eventually in san francisco, there's already hints of a sea breeze. look at the tropical clouds. higher clouds will start to paint already areas in the east bank. i think santa clara valley and the lightning strikes down here bear watching for the santa clara valley later today and tonight, hollister's gilroy maybe up to morgan hill. so changes today if you're north probably won't matter. but fog moves north. lot of sunshine, tropical clouds cooler coast and bay yet inland or still be hot. it all depends on how much cloud cover you get livermore. if you get the cloud cover, maybe a little. little bit cooler on the temps, but it's still going to be hot and humid. now with the addition of those tropical clouds. alright salles here we've been pretty
8:32 am
good. so far alright or something new. it's been pretty typical. so far. we've had a couple of crashes, but they haven't risen to the level of being major issues. we do have a look at the richmond bridges start off with steve. things have been good here. things have improved as you drive over to moran from the east bay, the bay bridge toll plaza. is getting a little bit better. you can see that it's getting better if you want to wait a little longer, probably in the nine o'clock hour, it'll clear out and the san mateo bridge is much better than it was. it's 8 32. let's go back to the headlines. so thank you. we go to this. now we're standoff is now over between san jose police and a person wanted for killing two people. just before eight this morning, san jose police say officers shot at the suspect, who they say pointed a gun at them. police had been in an hours long standoff at bender drive and as a car avenue that's not far from edenvale elementary and highway 11. now this we're looking at here is a live picture from the scene. that neighborhood there was all this activity was happening could still see a police presence there. authorities say the person who was shot was wanted for shooting
8:33 am
and killing a man last night. in san jose. police say the suspect , then drove to modesto, where they say he shot and killed a 29 year old woman. police track the suspect's vehicle as it remains way back to the south beach and eventually chased it into this neighborhood. our crews, son ambulance leaving the scene. police said the suspect was taken to a local hospital. abbott has resumed service between the concord and the pleasant hill stations this morning following a trail derailment. two cars of a 10 car train derailed between the concord and the pleasant hill station has happened yesterday afternoon. cruz did work overnight to remove that derailed train, and then they started trying to fix those tracks this morning. bart is running trains in both directions. but this is happening on a single track to that area, so you should expect some delays. it's not business as usual. several passengers in this derailment suffered minor injuries, but fortunately, most people were able to walk away. bart says it is possible that severe heat yesterday damaged
8:34 am
that rail and that that caused the problem. derailments are rare for transit systems, but they do happen and this we're having no major injuries and not any damage to the opposite track is very good news. again bart says trains are running this morning in both directions between concord and pleasant hill, but do expect delays because those trains are running on that single track to get around that area where repairs are being made and where that train derailed. our firefighters across the bay area responded to several brush fires during yesterday's hot weather. two fires broke out in san mateo county and in solano county. a grass fire burned yesterday afternoon at the western street and horizon drive area in fairfield, near travis air force base. that fire was brought under control. within an hour. now, crews in san jose put out a small fire at a homeless encampment. that fire was reported in the area of shellenberger road in oakland road around 10 30 tuesday morning. firefighters were able to bring it under control by new

well, contra costa county health officials are warning people to stay away from blue green algae blooms around discovery bay. they say those large blooms of algae were discovered in several locations. contact with a toxin produced by the blooms can make people and pets very sick and people we talked to say while they are disappointed that the water is off limits, they do understand that safety comes first. i mean, it does suck. we'd like to just have some float days and enjoy the water and we really can't because it's gross. you know, we can still go out boating and stuff, but being able to just enjoy the water. doesn't really happen. warning signs are up at the marina and discovery bay. people are being advised to stay on shore and avoid eating fish caught in the area. shortage of lifeguards has created a difficult summertime situation for private and public swimming pools. the american lifeguard association says lifeguard trainers the red cross and normally train about 300,000 lifeguards a year at local swimming pools. but when the pools were closed during the
8:36 am
pandemic, there was almost no lifeguard training. so many former lifeguards moved to newer pursuits. and then the trump administration policy popular j one visa that permitted foreigners to take temporary summer jobs, even though it has been reinstated. the consequences are long lasting, though. we were having to close our outdoor pools for a time because we simply didn't have the lifeguards to manage. one the greeks senior ross more community center is short of well trained seasonal lifeguards for its three pools. there is also a shortage of beach lifeguards, but it's not as severe a new drug sobering center is scheduled to open on monday and san francisco it's called summarize. it is located on howard street in the city south of market neighborhood. it is a 20 bed facility that will serve as a safe and clean space where people can get off the streets and detox. they will have access to beds and two bathrooms and can stay for 12 hours or longer, if necessary. the center is initially going to be open daily from eight am

8:39 am
don't have the humidity, although some inland could get a little hint of that with the tropical clouds coming in. but for the if you're inland it's still going to be really hard falls out in antioch 80 in the shade at dallas ranch middle school in antioch this morning. i believe it. because i've seen not only 80 degrees 81 in brentwood. some locations are running a little cooler, though . in fact, if you go around mountain view hayward san carlos oakland airport as of oh, half moon bay, they're running cooler. yeah livermore and conquered or running plus six two plus four santa rosa plus three, so i the key is going to be that the tropical clouds making georgia crazy and el cerrito 100. that's hot for anybody. that's hot for l. streeto. 81 at midnight, but then the southeast breeze kicked in and now currently 64 degrees yesterday summer heat, not just inland. it was for everyone here. fairfield napa, santa rosa conquered vallejo, san jose, lucas valley, san mateo, all between 101. oh, six. but look at the fog. it is racing up the
8:40 am
coast, so it'll be cooler there. there's also a sea breeze for many in the city. but all eyes for the areas to the east and the south are on this tropical moisture screaming up with numerous lightning strikes being reported already, especially between bakersfield and fresno. now we're probably going to be okay with thunderstorm wise, but it's going to be very close. i would think santa clara valley hollister gilroy, maybe out towards stockton's, uh, antioch , brentwood. i'll mention that the higher clouds are already moving in. this might take your temp down a little bit, but it's going to add humidity sort of be hot and muggy. tropical clouds. possible thunderstorms dry lightning. that's what we don't want it that's already showing up to the valley, not only in the valley but also into the sierra. today probably today is the main day for us, but it will continue into the valley in the sierra nevada today and also again tomorrow. so if you're north, you probably don't worry about it. but if you're south and east definitely clouds on the way, 60 seventies eighties nineties cooler coast in bay still hot kind of muggy inland over the next couple of days. art steve. thank you, well,

suggestion is that emergency workers could use it who are trying to get through disaster zones or smoke filled areas. in an effort to rescue people. well right now the chair of the federal reserve's speaking to congress and wall street seems to like what he has to say. pam coke has been listening to that senate banking committee and joins us now, with a look at today's dollars and cents, pam most of the conversation about inflation, not surprising. federal reserve chief jerome powell told congress that the fed is strongly committed to bringing down inflation. he just talked about how higher interest rates now slowing down demand for homes and helping to stabilize rising home prices. he's also talking about the hope that supply and demand issues for a lot of things will start to stabilize as the supply chain issues improve. now stocks dropped initially, when that opening bell rang this morning, but quickly turned around on those comments at the senate banking committee. as we take a live look at the markets right now, the dow jones down about half from the last hour was up about 90 points. but again, it

8:50 am
creek and five eighties a little slow as you drive into the dublin interchange, 49. let's bring steve back with today's weather. all right, sal. it'll be cooler coast in bay. it will still be hot inland here for many south still there. higher clouds are already moving in san jose areas to the east, and fog is moving up the coast so there's a lot of different forecast highs today. believe me, it could be a big difference. just you know, maybe half a mile away sixties in berkeley and oakland sixties now the city's cooler than that. sixties seventies brothers yet eighties. for some, i mean, it's going to be a big spread more so than yesterday conquered livermore running warmer than yesterday at this time, yet oakland airport, hayward also mountain view san carlos, sfo and half of it or running cooler. and the reason being fog is screaming up the coast yet it's mainly staying off the coast. but the mere fact that it's there and the wind has turned a little more wesley means they will see some cooler conditions. a lot of high clouds are already moving in most of the thunderstorm activity and big time lightning strikes, which is not what we want. this
8:51 am
definitely increases fire concerns because it's dry. lightning has been out to the valley, but some of that could creep in. more towards the santa clara valley. maybe santa cruz mountains also out towards eastern contra costa county. later today, higher clouds are already out to the east and also and towards san jose, and they are moving fast. and you can see those moving, and so that might take the temperatures down a little bit inland, but it will still be adding now humidity to the mix. it'll be hot and humid. yet the coast will cool off and i think a breeze will kick in for much of the bay as well. it's just unbelievably challenging in this pattern. but tropical clouds east fog to the west in between. if you're north, you probably have to worry about because i'll be sunny and hot. some locations will not cool off in this pattern. others will some will get thunderstorms out to the valley and also up in the mountains next couple of days. sixties seventies eighties nineties to one hundred's. it's just i mean, if you're near the coaster bait, you'll cool off. if you're inland, it's still going to be pretty hot, but you'll have a lot of tropical clouds as well. well heartbreaking story with a happy ending. coming up at the nine.
