7:01 am
coast. now, the thunderstorm activity pops up. so this low is parked over us from mendocino county and lake county. also shaded with the low, rotating energy in. getting good lift as well over the mountains and comes right back in and enhancing the fog and gives us drizzle. so i don't think that anything is changing here. i don't buy in any warm-up on the temps. i don't see how it will happen. an on shore breeze in the 50s and 60s. 60 redwood city, atherton, belmont, over to fremont. it is close for los altos and closer to san mateo and pacifica is 55. we are persistent on these temps. the low clouds. we take yesterday's weather and carry it over to today.  which means not much change. the fog hugs the coast for most. not all. but for some, it is a tough order to get some sun.
7:02 am
all right, sal. 7:01. and traffic is doing what? >> well, we do have busy traffic in some areas. reward had a crash -- we had a crash on 580. so people coming in from the altamont pass will see that traffic is very slow, much slower than normal on 580 because of the earlier accident now out of the lanes at greenville road. but the damage is done. in fact, this commute is much slower than it normally is. you might also expect some commutes that are slower on some of the side roads as people give up on the freeway and take the side roads. the rest of the east bay is looking normallish between hayward. it is looks normal there. in the south bay, some slow traffic approaching the west valley. there you go, northbound 280 coming around the corner is beginning to slow down up to highway 17. san mateo bridge looks okay. westbound 92. in all of the traffic lanes. heading out to a foggy peninsula. at the bay bridge, we have

7:04 am

7:07 am
year. >> reporter: what we're seeing from this administration may be similar to others before it. rising tensions with north korea followed by deescalation. >> no one in the world wants this war. china doesn't want it. japan doesn't want it. i hope we don't want it. and the cost of it would be so tremendous that american administrations all through recent history have in the end chosen it is better not too fight. >> reporter: japan saying this morning it can defend itself from north korean missiles. the problem even for the united states is that north korea could develop enough missiles to overwhelm defense systems. >> the threat that we're going to face is anywhere from 50 to 75 north korean icbms. that's the problem. so let's just say that the missiles get through, that we do well and we get 65 out of 70. that's not good enough for america. >> reporter: in the meantime as far as possible talks are concerned, north korea says
7:08 am
that dialogue is not even possible with president trump. in washington, doug luzader, fox news. in the meantime people living on guam are nervous. it is home to 7,000 american military personnel, navy ships and strategic bomber. kim jong-un views the island as a threat. the bombers took off from guam. the island of 162,000 people is just 210 square miles and the u.s. military occupies about a third of its territory. our time is 7:08. the likelihood of a north korean nuclear attack in the bay area is low but cities are prepared for the worst. even if a missile could reach across the pacific ocean, the north koreans haven't figured out how the war head would survive reentery into the

different feel compared to july when it was smoking hot. that low cloud deck continues to move itself pretty far inland. sacramento yesterday hit 90. executive airport hit 88. the streak continues for sacramento for 90-degree days. yesterday was one of the coolest days in a long, long time. i don't see any change today. the low that is over us continues to fire up the thunderstorms. see the circulation, northern mendocino county, lake county and up into the northern sacramento valley, shasta and over the sierra, especially around north shore and into reno. now, be careful. some of these are slow movers. there's been reports of two inches of rain and large hail. these are big-time boys for us. that is the low. you can see the circulation around there goes off shore and rotates back in. that is enhancing the fog bank and giving us drills. it is not strong enough to max it out. so it's still in place. maybe by monday we will get enough mixing to clear out the fog bank. until then, i don't see how we
7:19 am
could warm up much. 50s and 60s. everybody is close. not much of a change here. saar towing a62. morgan hill, 60. cupertino, 59 degrees. unless you're down in southern california where they even have patchy fog. but it is thick, thick, thick here. breezy to windy at times. once the fog burns back, sometimes the wind picks up as well. it takes a long time for some over by the coast to see it burn off. we did some yesterday. but for others, huh-uh. a lot of gray. that will continue today. i think it takes us right into the weekend, gasia. >> thank you, steve. the time is 7:19. the city of san jose throwing out dozens of controversial citations for fireworks after threats of a lawsuit. about 50 people were find $500 forsetting off fireworks back in june and july. we talked with some who said they never had fireworks and
