impact on the area. >> plus, we continue to do prepare for the possibility of if the virus ever, starts spreading among people. >> a new strain of bird flu detected at a poultry market in san francisco. why? health officials there say there is no reason to be alarmed. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning and welcome back. i'm gasia mikaelian and i'm james torres. >> it is tuesday, june 4th. you walk out the door right now and you think it's not that hot? not yet. it's all right. but it's coming up soon, steve. >> so on its way here at today's that transition day. although we are running cooler this morning, i don't think it will take long to run it. warmer 50s on the temps. santa rosa, san jose 58. we're on our way. here. we are though. running cooler. i mean, look at this. i mean, novato is nine, santa rosa eight, half moon bay five, concord, six. novato. as i talked about, they were 11 at one time. but this is going to go from negative to

7:01 am

probably positive in a couple of hours here. all signs point towards hot fun in the meteorological summertime that's for sure. cool morning. but that'll give way to sunny for all. warm to hot. there is a slight northerly breeze so temps are on their way up today. 70s 80s and 90s. well, if you're stuck at the bay bridge toll plaza, you may not be smiling, no, you probably aren't smiling. and if you're stuck on the altamont pass or you know someone who is, they're not dancing to the music either. westbound 580 at grant line road. there's a crash and it's always slow coming out of tracy. and this morning it's even slower. so, you know, if you if that happens to be your commute or if you know someone who comes in from the central valley to work, they may be in a bad mood. you never know. all right, let's take a look at the richmond san rafael bridge. there's some slow traffic there, and the traffic at the bay bridge toll plaza, as steve alluded to, it's backed up to the maze 701. let's get back to the headlines. >> and as temperatures tick up, there's an increased risk of wildfires today. windy

7:02 am

conditions near the altamont pass have kept fire crews busy in recent days. ktvu allie rasmus is live in studio to explain what crews are preparing for. >> ali well, the warning gasia is for everyone to stay alert when it's warm, dry and windy this time of year. the potential for fire danger is high. >> the midweek heat could be a concern. we're always telling people make smart choices. by this time, probably everybody knows what those are. don't use your power tools in the heat of the day. use them in the morning before it really gets hot. obviously don't throw a lit cigaret ever out your window. >> cal fire faced some challenging conditions over the last few days. yesterday, a grass fire broke out near the altamont pass near livermore late yesterday afternoon. the patterson fire burned about 100 acres. a quick response from cal fire, though, kept it from spreading. at last check, it was 75% contained. but this fire happened just after the more destructive corral fire in that same area of tracy and san joaquin county. east alameda

7:03 am

county that fire grew to more than 14,000 acres before it was contained. >> fire extinguishers. we have jugs of water in our garage, which is right near our barbecue. in store locations throughout our house. >> most california wildfires, 90% of them are started, ignited by human behavior, both accidental and, you know, arson. and from an accidental standpoint, what we see is that most fires start within a half a mile of a road, 90% of them. >> that's exactly what happened yesterday when a big rig caught a power line waving in the wind as that big rig was driving on cross road in livermore, the sparks started a vegetation fire nearby. the driver was able to call 911. firefighters responded very quickly and put it out before it became a bigger problem. but with hot weather expected inland in the next couple of days, especially around the altamont pass, it's projected to be a busy next few days for firefighters. garcia and james, back to you, ali.

7:04 am

>> rasmus. thank you. cal fire is ramping up its training as california moves toward the peak of fire season. later today, the agency will begin nighttime aerial drills for cal fire helicopters in the lake berryessa area. the drills will continue until june 16th. cal fire is telling people living in the area they may see and hear low flying aircraft over the lake at night for the next two weeks. >> crews are still cleaning up this morning, as investigators on the peninsula tried to determine the cause of a massive fire. we'll take you live to the scene right now where you can see what's kind of left remaining there. this is along middlefield road. it's not too far from a costco and a target. of course, investigators are still trying to figure out what led to a massive fire there, which would have been quite a scene to see if you were driving by at the time. the blaze destroyed an affordable housing development under construction near redwood city. it started yesterday morning in the building. the huge flames raced through the building due to, of course, the raging winds. very windy day we saw yesterday. evacuations were ordered for

7:05 am

nearby homes. the fire at the housing development is viewed as a tremendous loss for san mateo county. >> make no mistake about it, what happened here is it's a tragedy, right? because we've been working on this project for about a decade, and so having this housing, especially in an area, that it's expensive, such as the bay area, it does set us back. >> firefighters were also busy putting out a dozen spot fires that started with embers and other material blew onto dry grass and roofs of houses. the fire crews remain on the scene overnight to watch out for flare ups. at this time, no reports of any injuries. an estimated 100 construction workers all made it out safely of the burning building. >> police in antioch are investigating a deadly shooting that happened around 6:00 last night in a residential neighborhood not far from antioch high school, police say when they arrived, they found an 18 year old who'd been shot. he was pronounced dead at the hospital. detectives are still looking for more information on

7:06 am

this homicide. a former pittsburgh police officer connected to a wider department scandal is serving a six month probation. armando montalvo pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor obstruction charges in exchange for prosecutors dropping four felony gun counts. under the terms of this deal, he avoids jail time. montalvo resigned from the pittsburgh police department in 2022. the fbi and contra costa county accused him of illegally selling assault rifles in an investigation that found other pittsburgh and antioch police officers distributed drugs and committed wire fraud. as well as civil rights violations. >> 705 your time this morning, a man who was brutally attacked at a san jose vta platform is now telling his story. ketv you spoke to the victim, kristin chenoweth, while he's recovering at a south bay hospital. video from last week's attacks show him being hit and choked by a suspect. police later arrested 26 year old andrew perez in connection to the incident. he's facing multiple charges, including attempted murder.

7:07 am

chenoweth says he has no idea why he was attacked. >> i had my headphones in so i didn't hear him come up behind me and he knocked me to the ground and he didn't say anything. no words were exchanged. i just remember, i'm going to die, you know? so i don't know how i'm going to get out of this one. i don't want to live in fear, you know, but it's still at the same time, i'm very fearful, i don't know why this happened. >> chenoweth suffered multiple injuries to his head, legs, arms and back, but he expects to make a full recovery. we now know the identity of the man arrested in a hit and run in walnut creek over the weekend that critically injured two women. 33 year old jose manuel chavez was taken into custody following the collision sunday morning. he was booked into the contra costa county jail, now awaiting charges. police say the crash injured two vendors preparing for the weekly farmers market. >> the israeli consulate in downtown san francisco expects to resume normal activity today

7:09 am

had business there were turned away because of this protest. >> and we now know bird flu is in the bay area. the san francisco public health department reporting two chickens at a live bird market, tested positive last month while undergoing routine testing. workers at the market who came in close contact with the chickens were monitored for ten days. health officials say. these workers showed no symptoms of the virus. >> right now, it is not being spread from person to person right now. it's really a concern among birds and now dairy cattle. but but public health departments are on on the lookout just to make sure that if anything changes, we'll know as soon as possible. and be able to take action. >> the health department didn't release the name of the market where the bird flu was detected, but they did say it has since reopened safely. >> the city of san francisco is moving ahead with a plan to take over and manage an underground parking garage at golden gate park. the 800 space music concourse garage is under the de

7:10 am

young museum serves visitors throughout the park. backers say the move will help guarantee an easy and fair priced parking for all. today, the sf municipal transportation agency board will vote to add the garage to its existing garage operating contract. >> time is 709. i'm looking at a couple of crashes in the east bay now. the first one is westbound 580 at north flynn. that one's been there now for about 40 minutes. it involved a motorcycle and traffic is backing up well into tracy. and if you're driving or if you know someone driving in from the central valley, that will delay that drive northbound 880 coming up on washington right at 238, there's another motorcycle crash . that one is blocking the left lane. you know how it is. the motorcycles start coming out when the weather is good. and unfortunately, there's a correlation there with more motorcycle crashes this time of year. you can see the traffic at the bay bridge toll plaza is backed up all the way out to the

7:11 am

macarthur maze. and this 880, is okay. driving north and south in and out of desk. >> thank you. sal. all the single ladies are buying houses. the growing trend in the housing market that shows more single women are owning real estate. plus it's not going to be perfect, but it's going to be beautiful. today's the day oakland's newest sports team takes its home field for the very first time. what's in store for the oakland ballers and the team's fans, and why? this could already be considered a big win for the community. then a quick reminder that you can now stream ktvu news on your smart tv, watch our live newscast and get stories on demand on your vizio smart tv, amazon fire tv, roku, apple tv and android tv. just search or that fox local

7:15 am

this neglected neighborhood park into a 4000 seat stadium ready for first pitch. >> you can see that there's literally still cranes and drills and, metal being cut and murals being hung. a couple of months ago, this was a public park that i mean, it's still a public park, but it was a public park that was essentially on unusable. >> today's game marks the first pro game on the field in more than 100 years, and the bees are expected to packed house in this highly anticipated opener for people who call oakland home, the work put in ahead of this game has been a true team effort. >> it's been really amazing just to see the outpouring of support to make this happen. >> this team, this organization is incredibly important to the city of oakland. and so it's all hands on deck. the bees are sitting at seven wins, five losses, looking to improve on that today. >> tonight's game starts at 635. tickets are sold out. but if you missed it, the ballers are

7:16 am

hosting a second opening day tomorrow. tickets still available for that game and the rest of the season's home games as well. james >> andre senior. thank you. sides across oakland still hope to send a message to the a's ownership. green signs with the word sell in white lettering are plastered in public spaces, including fences and freeway overpasses throughout the town. the message is directed at a's owner john fisher, who is moving the team to sacramento at the end of the season. it's unclear who put the signs up, but fan groups opposing the team move have been giving those signs out for free over the last few months. >> single women continue to buy homes at a faster rate than single men, according to the national association of realtors. single women make up 19% of homebuyers, compared to 10% of single men in the united states. this has been the case since 1981. the census shows more than 11% of single women in california own a home, compared to 8% of single men. disparities are even greater here in the bay area. >> they want to build

7:17 am

generational wealth. they want to build it for themselves. they want to build it for their family, for the future. and that that really means a lot to women . >> realtors say that factors fueling the trend include women delaying marriage to focus on their careers and personal finances. women are also graduating college at higher rates than men, so they're likely getting jobs that allow them to save up and buy a house. >> at 716 this morning, we're probably going to see a lot of traffic heading into san francisco bay bridge toll plaza wasn't looking too good a couple of minutes ago, so yeah, it's slow there. >> we also have some issues out there. james and garcia, westbound 580 at grant line. we have that crash we've been talking about for a while and that is still there. it's really tough out of tracy. tougher than normal. and then northbound 880 at washington. right near 238. there really there is a crash involving a motorcycle blocking the fast lane. and there's an unexpected slowdown coming out of hayward, heading up to san lorenzo and san leandro. southbound traffic is also slow. passed the scene. the bridges are getting a little bit slow as

7:18 am

usual, and the bay bridge as james alluded to, backed up all the way out to the may. so it's a typical tuesday, which is to say it is slow when we come back next time, we'll take a look at that south bay commute, the weather. she's a heating up, says mr. steve paulson. >> do indeed a little cool this morning, but it won't take long. sal, you are correct. here after yesterday's clouds and wind. my goodness, today it's going to be more about sunshine and warmer temps. already warmer in the higher elevations. mount veeder, oakland hills and boulder creek 60s now and all with a northerly component on breeze. thankfully it's not strong, but heat advisory or excessive heat warning depending on your proximity to inland areas or the coast starts at 8 a.m. goes through midnight thursday. although i do think coast and bay might come down a little bit thursday, but the highs building in the low responsible for our cloud cover yesterday is exit stage right santa rosa, walnut creek, menlo park, san jose. up we go. 96, 96, 89 and 90 on those on those temperatures today, water temps though, they're there when they're this cold and they've been cold for a

7:19 am

long time. you get 90s inland. it won't take long to get the fog going. it just won't be today or tomorrow. but maybe thursday. 60s for some already 50s for others. half moon bay did drop to 46 this morning, so a little cool for them. but we're on our way now to warming up. you can see a northerly breeze on the coast northwest, and there is a slight northerly breeze inland as well, and the higher elevations clearing out all that cloud cover. it's a warmer tuesday, so clear morning, cool to mild lows, sunny and warmer. north breeze will push some into the 90s if you're out far enough inland. maybe close to 100 and 70s and 80s coast and bay looks pretty warm here into thursday. cooler though. friday. saturday. >> steve. thank you. now to an issue that may define and divide generations. which group says don't call unless you text first and why? the oldest form of communication appears to be falling out of favor. plus never before in our history has it been easier for one person to compete against global business businesses because of technology . >> concerns about the economy aren't stopping many from

7:23 am

>> what i've made other businesses and other companies so much money, why not take all my brainpower power and create something for myself? >> entrepreneurship is still the way to build that generational wealth and a small business is the best opportunity. there is. >> overall, the study found most of the workers starting their own businesses were growing tired of corporate america. they were excited at the prospect of being their own boss. >> californians could soon vote on a law that would allow workers to sue employers for a labor law. violations. business groups support a ballot measure that would replace the law, known as the private attorneys general act, or paga, for short. businesses say the current law hurts small businesses and nonprofits, while empowering lawyers to earn a fortune by filing frivolous lawsuits. a spokesperson for the fix paga campaign says the ballot proposal would put more responsibility on the state's labor commission to address violations. >> hoping that we can create a better system for workers to get

7:24 am

resolution under the initiative, resolution would go through the state and employees could still file lawsuits, but the state would get the first crack at resolving employee claims. >> supporters of the current law say it's an important tool to hold employers accountable. business and labor groups are negotiating a potential deal that would keep this issue off the ballot, and let the state legislature come up with a solution instead. >> time now is 723. investigators say the discarded household batteries have ignited three separate fires at a recycling facility in santa rosa in the past month. they say the batteries were improperly placed in recycling bins at a recology facility on standish avenue. recycling company says that while the fires caused minor damage, they should serve as a reminder of the extreme danger of placing old batteries inside recycling bins. batteries are considered hazardous materials and should be disposed of as such, as the weather warms up, an important reminder that

7:25 am

fireworks are dangerous and in many places illegal. >> to the san mateo county sheriff's office will hold multiple fireworks buyback events later this month. the events are to encourage people to turn in any fireworks, which again are illegal in most of san mateo county, with the exceptions of the cities of pacifica and san bruno. this year, officials are expanding locations and also increasing rewards. those who turn in fireworks can receive up to $200 in cash, no questions asked. the first event will be saturday, june 15th and half moon bay. the next two are saturday, june 22nd and south san francisco and june 29th in redwood city. >> a renewable energy company will soon begin clearing thousands of protected joshua trees in california's mojave desert. the los angeles times reports. the trees will be coming down to make way for a huge solar project to provide power for thousands of homes along the california coast. the times reports. the project has outraged many low income families who live near the proposed solar facilities. they say they were never consulted

7:26 am

about dust from the construction work and other possible health hazards, and it appears more people are deciding to take jobs further from where they live. >> a stanford study found. commutes of 75 miles or more jumped by 30, compared to pre-pandemic. the number of people driving at least 50 miles also increased. economists point to rising housing costs near job centers, as well as more people only being in the office just a few days a week. as key factors for the longer commutes. the study did not look at the bay area for research. changes on the way at the southern border with mexico. what president joe biden is expected to do today, and how it could limit the number of people crossing over bay area agencies making use of new technology to help prevent danger due to fires. >> how artificial intelligence was just used in response to this week's fires in the east bay.

7:27 am

7:28 am

7:29 am

around and what you can do to make sure you stay cool and safe. >> plus, wind just pushed it all the embers over and it just

7:30 am

carried through the house. >> hot weather means possibly more wind bringing some fire danger. what crews across the bay area are doing to stay prepared, and the impact still being felt from this weekend's corral fire from ktvu? >> fox two news. this is mornings on two that morning, slowly warming up. >> welcome to mornings on two i'm james torres. >> good morning. i'm gasia mikaelian. it is tuesday, june 4th. this is the first day of two days of pretty intense heat. right, steve? >> three, if you're inland but coast and bay, i think two yes, i would agree with you on there. it looks like it. and unless there's a, you know, a fly in the ointment. but hazy skies but clear. we're gone. are the clouds from yesterday. and the wind, although it has turned slightly northerly 50s on the temps. it won't take long to warm up. we are running a little cooler than yesterday, but i think these negatives will turn to positives here probably in the next hour or two. won't take much cloud covers out of the picture and high pressure is

7:31 am

building in so hot fun in the summertime at least meteorologically speaking sunny for all today. warm to hot little northerly breeze which equals temperatures 70s, 80s and also 90s. well, are you ready for mister sal castaneda? here he is to give you an update on the traffic, yeah. you know, steve, and we do have a brand new crash here on westbound 24 right near telegraph. and it sounds like it's a pretty serious one, so right now, traffic is going to be slow as you drive out of the caldecott tunnel. and pretty soon, this might actually be, spread into the tunnel and over to orinda. so please give yourself plenty of time as you drive out toward the oakland area. it is going to be a tough commute and hopefully you'll be in time this morning to your meetings, because it's one of those things that this could affect you. 80 westbound also slow. there's another motorcycle accident northbound 880 right at 238. and traffic is backing up quickly out of hayward. so that's another

7:32 am

trouble spot. and we look at the richmond bridge that traffic looks okay. the bay bridge toll plaza is fine. we've promised you a look at the south bay. this looks all right. a couple of earlier issues, but for the most part, this is a typical commute heading over to cupertino in sunnyvale. 731 let's get back to the desk. >> all right. thanks a lot, sal. well summer is approaching, but it's heating up here in the bay area. it's all going to start later this afternoon. we have ktvu. is amanda quintana live this morning in contra costa county with what you should watch out for as the temperatures rise. amanda >> yeah, well, james, it is certainly going to start feeling like summer today and tomorrow. we're going to see in those inland areas high 90s, maybe even some triple digits. so we're here in walnut creek where people are definitely thinking about that. they are trying to prepare because the national weather service did issue a heat advisory that is for today through thursday. that's in the sonoma coastal range, north bay interior mountains and valleys, and east bay hills and interior

7:33 am

valleys. now this means there is a moderate to high risk to those who are heat sensitive, especially if they don't stay hydrated or have cooling options like air conditioning. the national weather service suggests you limit time outside. you never leave kids or pets in the car. one of the reasons they issued this advisory is because this is a first big warm up of the year, and a lot of people just aren't prepared for it. >> there's still the potential that people could not take the precautions, where we want to see people limiting outdoor activities, staying in a cool environment, drinking plenty of water, hydrating and could end up with heat exhaustion and that's where we see the potential for somebody to experience dizziness, starting to get really thirsty. heavy, sweaty, nausea, weakness. >> so we came here to ace hardware at 830. we'll have more on what they're expecting to be a pretty big rush of customers today, once they start to feel that heat, and then what they suggest you can get to really

7:34 am

help cool down where you live. live in walnut creek. amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news. >> amanda, thank you. fire crews are on high alert due to this heat and the possibility of wind in the forecast. the weather was a major factor in a wind driven brush fire that started near the altamont pass east of livermore yesterday afternoon. >> any time you add heat and wind to a situation, it can become explosive. but fortunately, in this case, it was just a grass fire, and they've made really good progress in just a short few hours, cal fire says the fire burned nearly 100 acres. >> firefighters managed to keep the flames from spreading to any buildings. investigators are still trying to determine the cause. cal fire announced just minutes ago here that containment on the corral fire out near tracy increased from 85 to now 90% overnight. the size of the fire is just over 14,000 acres, still an area about the size of walnut creek. all evacuation orders and warnings have been lifted. an excessive heat warning begins late this morning, runs until thursday night, when families back at

7:35 am

home after getting a knock at the door telling them to evacuate. a couple in their 70s and 80s grabbed their two dogs and turtle and got out. flames eventually burned through the fields and destroyed the family house. >> nobody wants to see their parents in this kind of a situation, you know? nobody wants to see their parents. technically homeless right now at 75 and 84 years old. you know, it's, it's heartbreaking to alameda county firefighters were injured in this fire. >> both went to the hospital. one has been released. the other is still hospitalized and is expected to make a full recovery. >> and we're now learning artificial intelligence played a critical role in tracking the corral fire. pg and e says it deployed the very latest high tech tools to predict exactly where the fire would go and at what speed and the power company says it will continue to use artificial intelligence during this entire wildfire season. >> 1555 weather stations that we've installed on our infrastructure. and this is

7:36 am

scientific grade instrumentation and we can also see the forecast over the next 129 hours. and this forecast that we have is a machine learning artificial intelligence, pg. >> and e says artificial intelligence will also help direct hundreds of high tech cameras and remote sensors when a huge wildfire starts amid recent increases in pg and e rates and concerns about inflation, analysts expect electricity costs across the country to be higher this year. >> the national energy assistance directors association predicts electricity bills this summer could be as much as 8% higher than last year. the average american could pay as much as $200 more than back in 2019. californians already pay some of the highest electricity rates in the country. regulators recently approved a change as to how electric bills will be calculated across california today, president joe biden will announce an executive action to limit the number of migrants entering the country. >> he'll sign an order that shuts down asylum requests at

7:37 am

the us mexico border. when the average number of crossings reaches 2500 a day, the border would reopen once that number drops to 1500, the white house chose the 2500 figure because current totals are higher than that, so the biden executive order could take effect immediately. >> former president donald trump has seen a bump in donations since he was convicted of 34 felony charges late last week. the average donation is about $70, a quarter of the donors are contributing for the first time for the month of may, pro-trump organizations raised an extra $150 million. meanwhile, the former president is facing criticism for comments he made in a recent fox news interview in which he appeared to warn that his supporters may reach a breaking point if he's jailed. >> i don't, i'm not sure the public would stand for it with a house arrest or i think i think it would be tough for the public to take, you know, at a certain point, there's a breaking point. >> president biden's campaign slammed mr. trump's remarks, calling it a vow of violence,

7:38 am

and hawaii's most active volcano is erupting once again. >> officials with the usgs hawaiian volcano observatory say kilauea started erupting early yesterday morning. lava is erupting from fissures near the summit within hawaii volcanoes national park. officials say they're unsure how long this eruption will last. >> time is 737. let's see what's happening in the morning commute. we'll swing out to our traffic center and focus on the bay bridge toll plaza, highway 24. we have to go there, right now because, garcia and james, because of this crash westbound 24, you can see it looks like the car is still perpendicular. there it was blocking the two left lanes, and it still might be, even though they're making some progress here on this. you can see it there in the middle. this is westbound 24 near telegraph. this is a caltrans camera. and you can see the traffic coming down the hill from the caldecott is slow. more vehicles have been taken away. so this is one vehicle that's

7:39 am

left. i think they're waiting for a tow truck for that vehicle. let me go to the maps here. i'll show you what this is doing to traffic. i'll show it to you on the map here. westbound 24 is now backed up past 13 through the tunnel. if they stay there much longer, it might be backing up into orinda. let's talk about other things. northbound 880 at 238. motorcycle accident there. unusually slow out of hayward. it's also southbound. so that whole area is not very good. richmond bridge is okay. bay bridge is backed up to the maze. 738 let's talk about today's weather. >> here's steve, sal. thank you sir. well, we were running cooler. i don't think it'll last too much longer here as the day is getting going here and temps are expected to take a pretty good jump here. so our forecast which is you know, we had a rather nice cool may, although you knew we were overdue for some kind of a warm up. and i think we'll get three days of it. and this will mainly be an inland event. but, you know, on the coast, if you're used to 59, 60, and all of a sudden it's 70,

7:40 am

that's a big jump heat advisory out for many or excessive heat warning if you're well on the valley, you know, back in the day, 30, 40 years ago, we'd say it's hot out. now we have to put labels on it. but that's all right. some people are sensitive to it. our system from yesterday has kicked off high is building in. and that's going to give us warmer temps today for santa rosa, walnut creek, menlo park in san jose, 96, 96, 89 and nine zero on the forecast. highs for today. water temps, though, continue to be incredibly cold. these are below average for this time of year. no doubt about it. a 50 5352 so fog will be back. just won't be for a couple of days. 5060 already on the temps. temperatures inland have no problem. vacaville. brentwood. probably close to 100 today. a little northerly breeze for just about everyone now is taking hold. and that's kind of the key here, not only is the high building in, it's not that strong, but this time of year, the days are long. angle of the sun high and you get a little north wind and high building, high pressure. it all equals warmer for everybody here. so clear skies. we're on our way. 70s, 80s, 90s. and if you're far enough inland, maybe you might

7:41 am

might flirt there a little bit. with the keynote still hot on wednesday. now, if you're in mendocino county, lake county, you're far enough inland. thursday will still be hot, but i think coast and bay start to come down a little bit. and then everyone comes down friday into saturday. >> all right. thank you steve. so when you need to get in touch with someone do you text first and then call. or you just go straight for the phone. we're getting dialed in to some new trends on phone etiquette in a second here. that's something andre senior is exploring with our poll of the day. hi andre. >> yes, i've got feelings. i think a lot of people want to hear from you. we're asking it deep. prefer to call or text your options here. call. i'm old school or text. i won't answer because you don't know if i'm busy or not. you can vote now. just scan the qr code on the top right hand corner of your screen or head to ktvu.com/vote, and we'll just jumped in there. yeah, and i would agree with that text. i don't know if i'm going to answer you unless your mom. >> yeah. oh no that hurt us. no. we have two votes now. >> we have three that is fluctuating. >> i'm predicting text is going to win first. yeah, i think this

7:49 am

texting is the overwhelming preferred way to talk to your friends and family. it's especially true among gen z. in fact, researchers found the younger you are, the more likely you are to choose texting over an actual phone call. communication specialists say regardless of your preferences, it never hurts to send a text before you call. >> even with good friends, it can't hurt to send a text first and say, i was going to pick up the phone and call you, but i just wanted to make sure it's a good time. >> surprisingly, the study found that the least used form of communication is also the oldest , and that is simply just talking to someone face to face. you could probably believe that though, right? i mean, the way it's made, it's become so easy to talk to someone over electronic means. i mean, facetime calls, like obviously the phone calls like instant messaging was a big thing for a while. so totally believable. >> i laughed because in the newsroom, like you and i will be sitting three desks apart, but i'll top like, hey james, can you check instead of like, hey

7:50 am

james, can you? so it's a different thing. cell communication is totally changed, i don't think i don't think i know i've communicated with all of you outside of work and it's always text. >> it's never call. right? right. yeah like i've texted garcia and james and steve. i always text. i never call them because it's just not the way it's done. yeah, yeah. good morning everyone. let's go to highway 24 westbound. that's what we call social conventions, right? anyway, let's go to highway 24. we have a problem. they're clearing it up. there's still a car that's perpendicular to the road on westbound 24. right there near telegraph, right where highway 13 joins. you can see those cars on the left joining us there. and 24 is backed up through the caldecott tunnel because the two left lanes are closed. some of the other cars in this crash have been taken away by a tow truck. i think they're waiting for a tow truck. i think that car may be too damaged just to simply move it, and that's why we're sort of in trouble here. let me put it on the map. i'll show you. the traffic is backing up from orinda now, from the orinda crossroads, getting over so you

7:51 am

have some people who are coming in from orinda, moraga, lafayette who normally take the caldecott. if that's you, give yourself extra time. more people are also on 80 through san pablo as you drive through, and 880 is a mess because of a motorcycle accident. northbound 880 at 238. so this tuesday started off okay, and now it's definitely not. this is a look at the richmond bridge. that's typical. and the bay bridge is backed up to the maze. 750 let's bring steve back in. steve, i like the way you talked to everyday people on this broadcast. >> i see what you did, you know. so i've been calling your home rotary phone for months and you never answered the nerve of you, rotary. thank you sir. all right, heat advisory. what's. we haven't had that yet. no we haven't. we have one today and tomorrow, i think through thursday, though for many, at least inland mendocino county. lake county may take until friday before you cool off. but temps will jump up today. but those water temps are doing their part. they're staying cold, which means fog is never far away when they're that cold, especially in june. but 70s already for vacaville. brentwood they'll probably be 100 today,

7:52 am

but 5060s for others. there is now a northerly breeze which has kicked in across the board, except for david's point, but i imagine that will start to turn all that cloud cover from yesterday has boot scooted out of the area so it's warmer tuesday and temps are on their way up. this is the first warm up we've really had this whole season, so you knew it was somewhere down the road and it's arrived now. doesn't look like it's going to last all that long. it's the old school rule of thumb of three and out. i think by day three, coast will start to cool down. friday. saturday almost everyone does. >> steve. thank you music lovers and small business owners call it a smashing success. ahead at eight, the impact of this weekend's rave right in front of city hall. and the new artist who just announced a mini residency in san francisco, plus , when you meet her in person, she is witty, very considerate. a longtime berkeley professor who's worked alongside mexico's new president elect gives us new insight about her time in the bay area and why he thinks she's

7:58 am

stolen goods on public streets is organized crime that harms neighborhoods and legitimate street vendors. >> these criminal fencing operations on our streets are pushing out legitimate street vendors, often people who have been selling on our streets for a very long time, and they're creating an atmosphere of fear and violence. >> if the bill is passed, violators would be cited for the first two offenses and could face a misdemeanor and up to six months in jail for the third offense. california students who miss class are costing the school districts billions of dollars every year. that's according to a department of education report. it found students missing class costs. california school districts about $3.6 billion in annual funding last year, the average california student missed 14.6 days of school. that adds up to a total of 80 million missed days for all of the state's students. california is one of

getting it out. and now traffic is backed up from orinda. all the way into oakland. the crash is right near telegraph, and it looks like they have just cleared it just a few moments ago, chp walking back to their cruiser there, this caltrans camera here. so hopefully the next time we see this picture in just a few minutes, it will be clear. it will be gone. let's go back to the map here. it's already done. its damage from orinda all the way out. so you can see that traffic is going to be slow. i do want to mention that the bay bridge is still pretty backed up all the way out to the maze. 801 let's get back to the headlines. >> rachel. thank you. now, when it's warm, dry and windy this time of year, of course, a potential for fire danger is high. firefighters facing challenging conditions in recent days near the livermore valley. ktvu sally rasmus here to explain what firefighters are preparing for this week. >> they're prepared to potentially be pretty busy with warmer temperatures. inland comes the potential for wildfires. as you mentioned, windy conditions near the altamont pass kept cal fire very busy putting out a grass fire

8:03 am

late monday afternoon. the patterson fire burned about 100 acres. a quick response from cal fire kept it from spreading, and as of late last night, it was 75% contained. but it came just days after the more destructive corral fire happened in the area of tracy and east alameda county, san joaquin county. that fire grew to more than 14,000 acres before it was contained. >> altamont. the hills are just are always subject for fire because it's always so dry. it's like they it's never in a good spot because i've always seen driving over the altamont. there's usually a lot of black from a lot of fires that even are accidental. so as we head into peak wildfire season, cal fire wants people to stay alert and make sure they're up to date on emergency notifications. >> wind driven fires, as we know, can spark and spread very quickly. it's important for people to be ready to respond to an evacuation order in minutes. >> that order is enacted. we're going to be coming in with a lot of big equipment and a lot of

8:04 am

roads in these areas are very windy, and there's a lot of trees, and evacuations are chaotic as it is. so the sooner people can get out, the sooner we can get in, hopefully take care of the issue and then people can return home more quickly. >> about 90% of california wildfires happen near a road or a highway, and this is what happened yesterday with another fire that broke out in the livermore area. a big rig caught a power line that had been waving in the wind as that big rig was driving on cross road in livermore. the sparks started a vegetation fire nearby. the driver luckily called 911. cal fire and alameda county fire both responded and put that fire out before it became a bigger problem. but again, with hot weather expected, especially inland around that, altamont pass area, it is expected to potentially be a busy couple of days for firefighters. andre sure is. >> ali, thank you so much. now, just moments ago, we got an update on that huge fire on the peninsula yesterday morning. investigators say that eight alarm fire destroyed an affordable housing development under construction near redwood

8:06 am

investigating a deadly shooting that happened around 6:00 last night in a residential neighborhood not far from antioch high school. police say when they arrived, they found an 18 year old who'd been shot. he was pronounced dead at the hospital. detectives are still looking for any information in this homicide. a former pittsburgh police officer connected to a wider department scandal is serving a six month probation. armando montalvo pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor obstruction charges in exchange for prosecutors dropping four felony gun counts under the terms of the deal, he avoids jail time. montalvo resigned from the pittsburgh police department in 2022. the fbi and contra costa county accused him of illegally selling assault rifles in an investigation that found other pittsburgh and antioch officers distributed drugs and committed wire fraud and civil rights violations. >> well, a man who was brutally attacked at a san jose vta platform is now telling his story. ktvu spoke to the victim, kristin chenoweth, while he's recovering at a south bay hospital. video from last week

8:10 am

welcome sign. >> it's cool that that one was outside because even if you couldn't get a ticket, you could still kind of enjoy, like the experience. you could obviously hear the music. >> i don't even know how they did it, honestly. yeah i think it's really impressive. like the permits for this. i think there's been a lot of up and coming things with san francisco and cleaning up the city, so hopefully it just continues to do that and bring people back. fresh off the success of this rave, the organizers have announced more shows are coming to the city in july, electronic dance music star illenium will spend four nights at the nearby bill graham auditorium ticket presales begin on thursday, starting around $70. >> time now is 810, and we still do have some problems on the morning commute. and one of them is highway 24. they just cleared a crash on 24, so all the lanes are open. but it was right near where highway 13 is. this is a picture of the clear track or the cleared freeway. and there goes bart as well. so that's good news. so right where the accident was, there's nothing.

right now, 280 in san jose and all of san jose is in the middle of the crush, getting over to the west valley, people driving over to palo alto and cupertino and sunnyvale, going from east to west in the valley, you can see there's 280 and i'll put it on the grid here. you can see it is pretty slow. there have been some minor crashes, but really the story is it's a normal day, a normal tuesday in the valley. also, looking at highway 24, we had an earlier crash right at telegraph on the other side of the caldecott, but traffic is nearly backed up into pleasant hill if you're driving, let's say, away from orinda moraga area, trying to get over to oakland, it's going to be a much tougher drive. don't be surprised by this. you will see the traffic in the middle of the east bay is slow because of earlier issues as well. i would say between san leandro and fremont, the whole area is kind of a bad commute because of earlier issues. let's talk about the richmond bridge approach that looks normal, and the bay bridge is pretty busy. it's backed up beyond the maze, so we might see some improvement. but

hold employers accountable. business and labor groups are negotiating a potential deal that would keep this issue off the ballot and let the state legislature come up with a solution. well, it appears more people are deciding to take jobs farther from where they live. a stanford study found commutes of 75 miles or more jumped by 30% compared to pre-pandemic levels. the number of people driving at least 50 miles to work also increased, economists point, at rising housing costs near job centers, as well as more people only being in the office a few days a week as key factors for the longer commutes. the study did not look at the bay area for the research. >> the renewable energy company will soon begin clearing thousands of protected joshua trees in california's mojave desert. the la times reports. those trees will be coming down to make way for a huge solar project to provide power for thousands of homes along the california coast, times reports. the project is outraged many low income families who live near the proposed solar facilities. they say they were never consulted about dust from the

8:32 am

northbound. look at this. so if you're driving into oakland, i would say use 580 instead of 880. we'll update you that on that coming up now at 831. let's go back to the desk. >> thank you sal, summer's not here yet, but it is heating up in the bay area starting today. ktvu amanda quintana live in contra costa county, but we should all be looking for as those temperatures start ticking up in the middle of the afternoon. amanda >> yeah, it might not be summer, but it's going to feel like summer today and tomorrow. we're going to see those upper 90s, maybe even triple digits in those inland areas. so it'll it'll definitely feel like summer. now they are preparing here at ace hardware for a flood of customers because of that weather, they say people often aren't really prepared until it starts to get actually really hot. so they say that getting a portable cooling unit here is a good option to cool off your space. while also keeping power costs down. now, the national weather service has a heat

8:34 am

rest. in. a lot of schools, this is their last week before summer break, so this is giving families just a bit of a taste of what summer will feel like. so also, if they need those fans, if they need those portable acs today would be the day to get them live in walnut creek. amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news yeah, good advice there amanda. >> thank you so much. meantime fire crews are on alert due to the heat and possibility of wind in the forecast, the weather was a major factor in a wind driven brush fire that started near the altamont pass east of livermore yesterday afternoon. >> any time you add heat and wind to a situation, it can become explosive. but fortunately, in this case, it was just a grass fire, and they've made really good progress. in just a short few hours, cal fire says the fire burned nearly 100 acres. >> firefighters managed to keep the flames from spreading to any buildings. investigators are still trying to determine the cause. cal fire announced just a few minutes ago. containment in the corral fire near tracy. increase from 85% to 90%

8:36 am

role in tracking the corral fire. pga says it deployed the tech tool to predict exactly where the fire would go, and at what speed. the utility says it will use artificial intelligence throughout the wildfire season. >> 1555 weather stations that we've installed on our infrastructure, our and this is scientific grade instrumentation and we can also see the forecast over the next 129 hours. and this forecast out that we have is a machine learning artificial intelligence. >> pga says artificial intelligence will also help direct hundreds of cameras and remote sensors. when a large wildfire starts. >> all right. it's 836 now. today, president biden will announce an executive action to limit the number of migrants entering our country. he will sign an order that shuts down asylum requests at the us mexico border. when the average number of crossings reaches 2500 a day, the border would reopen. once the number drops to 1500, the white house choosing the 2500

part of the leagues. on june 20th, the giants will make history when they play the saint louis cardinals in birmingham. >> in the first a.l. nl game at rickwood field, and a tribute to the leagues. rickwood field is the oldest professional ballpark in the u.s. and was home to the black barons from 1924 to 1960. >> i wanted them to understand that they have an opportunity to be part of making history. this is not just one of 162 regular season games. i know it's a grind, but this game is historic . >> reporter bob kendrick is the president of the leagues baseball museum. he spoke to the giants players on african-american heritage night. he also spoke on a panel with former secretary of state condoleezza rice. >> birmingham was a place where you couldn't go to a movie theater. you couldn't go to a restaurant if you were black. rickwood field was where the black high schools played all their sports. >> rice was born in birmingham during the segregation era. her mother was mays ninth grade english teacher, a story she

8:39 am

shared with the hall of famer. >> he said, oh, i remember miss ray, he said, she told me, son, you're going to be a ballplayer. and if you need to get out of here a little early, you go. and i thought, doesn't sound exactly like my mother, but i'm glad that's i'm glad that's the way you remember her. >> while the leagues were no longer prominent when she was growing up, rice says the impact of what those players did and endured lived on exceptional passion. >> in that exceptional commitment, that exceptional defiance without which, frankly, i don't think black america exists today. >> the game comes on the heels of major league baseball, including statistics from the leagues in its historical records. it's steps like this that kendrick and rice hope preserve the legacy of these remarkable athletes that move leagues baseball history one more step closer to mainstream. >> and really, that's been the mission. >> they need to be remembered as not black history, but american history. >> greg lee ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. 839 it's not often

8:40 am

this late in the commute, sal, you have a major problem. pop up on 880 in oakland. but that is the case. >> yeah. >> 880 in oakland. there's a stalled big rig and also an injury crash northbound 880, in downtown oakland near fifth. there's one is the stalled big rig. and then just up the road there's an injury crash on northbound 880 at broadway right there downtown. and we have a huge backup getting into oakland. i also want to mention the bay bridge. we had a crash on the bridge. it's been cleared. they actually did a decent job at getting it out of the way. but look at how slow it is. so getting into san francisco, if that's your commute, you need to get on the road earlier than you might expect because it's going to be a tough commute or you might want to consider using the ferry or bart at 840. let's talk about today's weather. here's steve. >> all right, already sunny. at one time we were running about 10 to 11 degrees cooler than yesterday. at this time. well, that's already reversing itself. it won't take long now. heat advisories already started. goes

8:41 am

through midnight on thursday. the city is always tricky in these kind of forecasts. going 76, the lowest 55. so both above a lot of records were set on this date in 1949, including san francisco at 92. we're not expecting that, but i think it will be warmer not only today but also tomorrow before that sea breeze kicks in thursday. so it's kind of looking. water temps are cold enough, they're ready, but they just don't have any help today. already 50, 60, 70, upper 70s. vacaville is already 80, though they're looking at 101 probably today. a little bit of an easterly breeze or northerly breeze for almost every but not strong thank goodness. but it's just a big old dome of high pressure covering the west. a long overdue here. so you knew we were going to get warmer today. it starts at kind of sunny and warmer 90s inland, maybe near 100 for a few far enough inland, but tomorrow looks to be the warmest day i think coast and bay ease up a teeny bit. thursday should be cooler for all by friday. all right. thanks, steve. >> new warnings about the risks of artificial intelligence. we've been telling you about them for some time now. the current and former employees of
