the average. today probably the coolest day of the week. these temperatures running a good 7 to 13 degrees below average. about 76 in san jose. 79 in livermore. and about 60 degrees in san francisco. let's check the roads with elizabeth. thanks, lawrence. we got two new accidents just reported in the last few minutes. the first one is in berkeley and is causing some slight delays already westbound 80 before or after ashby avenue. the right lane is blocked and traffic is stacking up through berkeley. this may be causing those delays through the altamont pass and livermore. a new crash just reported in dublin westbound 580 near foothill and look at that, a lot of brake lights this morning beginning in tracy coming off of 205. also bart now back on time after some earlier power issues causing some delays on the richmond line. muni, caltrain, ferries and ace train number one and three by the way are all reporting no delay.

that's your latest traffic. back to you guys. >> thank you. one week from today, the bay area could be experiencing another bart strike. and if the unions and management can't come to an agreement when the clock strikes midnight sunday night bart workers could walk off the job again. kpix 5 reporter cate caugiran is in san francisco with the numbers behind a key issue in the negotiations, pay for the workers. >> reporter: a new report by the san jose "mercury news" shows that bart employees already make more money than any of its peers. it says average bart union workers made more than $76,000 last year. the top paid train operator grossed more than $155,000. and bart's best best paid january core made almost $83,000. this comes -- janitor paid almost $83,000. this comes as the negotiators go back to the table tomorrow. the public is losing patience. >> it's affecting all of us. they need to go to work until

they come to terms with what's going on. >> reporter: some of the figures from the "mercury news" are based on high levels of overtime and cashing out paid time off. so far, the two sides have made progress on smaller issues but they had yet to address those major sticking points. live in san francisco, cate caugiran, kpix 5. >> starting today, oakland commuters will have to pay more to park at bart stations. parking fees are going up at the mcarthur and west oakland stations. the new price at the macarthur station $1.50 a day $5.50 at west oakland. fees at other bart parking lots went up this month. new this morning, one person is dead after this red car flipped and landed upside- down on railroad tracks at about 10:15 last night on westbound 580 in richmond. the chp says the car went off the road at the bayview avenue on-ramp. officers have been on the scene overnight to try to find out what happened. foreign pilots landing at sfo have to follow new rules.

the july 6 crash on runway 28 left exposed difficulties some pilots have landing at the airport. kpix 5's sue kwon joins us now to explain why some pilots are now required to use new technology. >> reporter: there is a gps system on all the runways here at sfo and starting today all of these pilots coming in on foreign carriers are being told to use that landing system. that is because of concern that pilots on foreign carriers may not be as familiar with touching down here manually using cockpit instruments and manual eyesight. this year foreign eyesights have made an unusual number of aborted landings or go-arounds according to the faa. this comes after the july 6 crash landing of asiana flight 214. one plane watcher caught one such go around just this weekend. >> the larger plane passed the smaller skywest and the air traffic control told the skywest to abort and go around.

>> reporter: so now finds are using -- so now pilots are using a gps system. this is a solution until another instrument known as the glide slope indicator is available in late august. it has been down since june during airport construction. live at sfo, i'm sue kwon, kpix 5. >> our very own phil matier wrote in the "san francisco chronicle," asiana's number of go-arounds is 6 to 8 times greater than normal. new details in the death of a teenage girl who was hit by a fire truck after this month's plane crash at sfo. the "chronicle" newspaper reports at least 4 san francisco firefighters saw ye meng yuan curled up on the ground. two of them reportedly thought the girl was already dead. it is still unclear how she ended up on the ground in front of the plane's left wing. tense moments for air travelers flying from cedar rapids, iowa, to st. petersburg, florida last night.

thethe airplane made an emergency landing in georgia. the crew and passengers went down the emergency chute. no fire was found in the plane. san francisco police are searching for two suspects after a the shooting left one person with life-threatening injuries. it happened just before 7:00 last night at geary boulevard and 29th avenue. investigators say shortly before the gunfire, the victim was arguing with another person in the car. the car was left with a shattered window and two bullet holes. a suspected shoplifter shot a home depot security guard in the shoulder and pistol-whipped another guard. it happened yesterday afternoon at the store on hesperion boulevard. police say the guards had approached the man after seeing him try to steal some tools. the man ran off after the attack. riot police clashed with unruly crowds in huntington beach. the chaos erupted after the u.s. open of surfing competition. [ yelling ]

>> vandals knocked over porta- potties and smashed windows. there were fights at the beach and in the downtown area. police called for backup when they couldn't get the crowd to break up. >> it started with like a fight and then broke out like they are tipping porta-potties and then the cops started to move in throwing tear gas at everyone and everyone was coughing and dodging into stores and everyone was just running down main street. >> officers in riot gear arrested eight people. no word of any serious injuries. a lifeguard helped uncover more than $2 million worth of pot from a penga boat in santa cruz. saturday morning the lifeguard noticed something suspicious and found the boat with almost 1200 pounds of marijuana. multiple law enforcement agencies stepped in and arrested four people. they say smugglers have recently gotten better moving larger amounts of drugs and there have been other sightings and busts recently along the central coast. investigators say it's too soon

to tell if the various busts are all related. a speedboat crash in new york killed a bride to be and the best man. they were thrown from a speedboat that collided with a barge on the hudson about 30 miles north of new york city. the wedding was supposed to be in two weeks. the best man's relatives are concealed by the fact that his death at least was quick. >> we're confident that he didn't suffer and that's most important to us that he didn't suffer. he went out happily. >> six people were aboard the 21-foot speedboat when it crashed. the driver is facing vehicular manslaughter charges. investigators are trying to find out if the barge they hit was property lighted. anytime weather becomes a factor, you're messing with disaster. >> from airport blackouts to a tour bus flipped over in floodwaters. how extreme weather is causing hov vac around the country. >> america's -- havoc around the country. >> america's cup watchers may

raging flood waters. the tour bus flipped on its side... about 300 yards froe size, a pack bus returning to las vegas from the grand canyon flipped on its side in floodwaters 300 yards from the roadway near the border between arizona and nevada. everybody got out through the bus windows. it's not clear why the driver did one of the stupidest things

you can do in a flash flood, try to cross it and he had 30 tourists. heavy rain and hail soaked las vegas over the weekend. a flash flood watch was in effect for most of sunday afternoon. dime-sized hail fell in some parts of vegas. a storm in the northeast dumped more than 7" of rain in philadelphia. power outages caused major delays at the philadelphia airport because the region that includes southern emergency also experienced widespread flooding. one traffic artery between philly and south jersey was completely closed down. tropical storm flossie is expected to bring high surf, strong winds and heavy rain to hawaii today. the governor issued an emergency proclamation ahead of the storm. yesterday people stocked up on essential items like water and batteries and also gasoline. boat owners are preparing for potentially drastic tide changes. they are now trying to make sure their vessels are secure. >> that storm named after your dog. >> that's why they named it flossie. it looks like the path of it is

going dead over the big island. >> right over the big island south of the other islands. never probably going to get to hurricane strength but still if you have your nice plans to go to hawaii for the sunshine, not today. that's coming onshore today. looks like the bay area is going to enjoy some of the cooler weather we have seen for some time. temperatures below average over the weekend, today cooler if you can believe that. low clouds and fog spreading onshore right now. below average temperatures today and then slowly warming but really kind of staying on the cool side for the better part of the workweek. you have low pressure along the coastline and the trough just carved itself out along the west coast to help keep these numbers down. the coolest day of the week is today. after this we warm up and the numbers will start to improve as we head in toward the latter part of the week. low clouds and fog into the bay early on this morning mostly clear in concord and livermore. by the afternoon the clouds likely to linger at the beaches, maybe into san francisco, as well. a strong sea breeze, winds gusting over 30 miles per hour in parts of the bay area this morning. 80s and 90s into the central

valley about 96 degrees but sunny in yosemite. 79 degrees in lake tahoe. temperatures around the bay today into the 70s and still warm into san jose. 70 in fremont. breezy into oakland at 66 but only about 60 degrees in san francisco. next couple of days we'll start to warm up the temperatures a few degrees and then finally toward this next weekend we could see some of those numbers maybe near 90 degrees. let's check the roads with elizabeth. thanks, lawrence. we are still watching this problem in berkeley down the eastshore freeway. it's causing significant delays right now through berkeley. the accident is actually before ashby avenue. the right lane is blocked. so westbound 80 is pretty heavy. once you get past the accident though it looks like speed sensors improve as you get closer towards emeryville and the macarthur maze. 580 slow this morning, look at that, a long line of red sensors, speeds under 25 miles per hour. once you get past vasco road it will be a little after there the speeds sensors turn back to grown and starts to improve and then we have a new accident now

just past the dublin interchange. westbound 580 by foothill, one lane is blocked there. that was a solo car crash blocking the slow lane so there's a few tapping of the brake lights before you get to the accident. here's a look down the eastshore freeway. the drive time is almost a half hour now obviously the accident in berkeley isn't helping the morning commute there. westbound 580 has been busy all morning especially out of tracy. and the nimitz 880 in oakland, that is our bright spot, so far looks good. but usually around 8:00 is when we start to see delays here. let's go outside show you a couple of our live traffic cameras. san mateo bridge commute direction westbound 92 traffic looks good heading out over the high-rise. coming into hayward nice and quiet, as well. take you to the south bay, i believe, here's a look at 101 and mckee. headlights and taillights northbound and southbound 101 a little busy earlier. not the case now. quick trip to santa clara. over at the bay bridge the metering lights were turned on at 6:01 this morning so yeah we're starting to see the

delays begin to fill in. it looks like it's still not a horrendous morning commute. no incident there. looks like it's jamming up towards the overcrossing and crawling up the incline as well towards treasure island. that is your latest "timesaver traffic." amazon is putting out the help wanted sign. the company says it will add 5,000 full-time jobs at its distribution centers in california and a dozen other states. the world's largest online retailer says it needs more help to meet growing customer demand. it says the new positions will pay 30% more than traditional retail jobs. this recent photo is fueling rumors of a future iphone. it appears to be plastic retail packaging for apple's budget iphone. it's expected to be called the 5s. as part of recovering possible i photo boxes. the photo is surfacing on chinese discussion forums but apple hasn't confirmed this. so far it's just a rumor. >> we'll find out. fresh off his first

his predecessor. his candid comments on gay priests in e catholic church. >> reporter: we're live in san francisco. we are about a week away from the negotiation deadline and bart and the unions are still

very far apart. >> pope francis making a major departure from his predecessor. his candid comments on gay priests in the catholic church. >> temperatures cooler than avenue. we'll talk about that coming up. >> and traffic lighter than normal this morning at the bay bridge but it may be because a traffic jam in berkeley is backing things up there. we'll have your morning commute coming up. good morning, everyone. it's monday, july 29. i'm michelle griego. >> i'm brian hackney. frank is off today. the time is 6:29. this time next week, another bart strike could put the bay area in for commuter chaos. and if it happens, it has the potential of being even worse than the walkout earlier this month. that's when, as you remember, people scrambled to find rides wherever they could find them including ferries, buses and casual carpools. kpix 5 reporter cate caugiran is in san francisco. cate, both sides lost a crucial week of negotiating time, right? >> reporter: right, brian. so far, bart tells us they have made progress on smaller issues. but at the same time, they are

no closer to finding a deal than they were this time last week. the major sticking points we're talking salary, pension, health benefits and safety have not been addressed. seiu local 1021 says they won't be able to until bart's chief negotiator gets back from have a cail. a new report from the "mercury news" says bart workers make more money than any peers. the average bart union worker makes more than $76,000. last year the top paid train operator grossed more than $155,000 and bart best paid janitor made almost $83,000. the unions say their pay is fair. >> i think there's been a fallacy out there that all that bart workers do is kind of push a button or stand around. these are critical workers who provide a service to keep the public safe. >> reporter: however, the public is losing patience. if the two sides don't reach an agreement by sunday the bay

area could see another strike this time next week. both bart and the two unions will be back at the bargaining table tomorrow. reporting live in san francisco, cate caugiran, kpix 5. >> thank you. some of the figures from the "mercury news" are based on high levels of overtime and cashing out paid time off. new this morning one person is dead after his car flipped and landed on railroad tracks. it happened last night on westbound interstate 580. the chp says this red car went off the road at the bayview avenue on-ramp around 10:15. officers have been on the scene overnight to determine what happened. fresno county, firefighters are working to contain a wildfire that burned 14 square miles in the sierra national forest. about 75 miles northeast of fresno. authorities have evacuated 16 campgrounds near shaver lake. so far, no houses are threatened and the fire is about 15% contained. but it keeps expanding in the late afternoons when the

temperatures increase. there's something that won't be happening here at least not temperatures increasing i mean. >> no. not today. yeah, we're really seeing a strong onshore breeze. we are seeing smoke from the fires in some of our cameras outside right now from the fires burning around the state right now. you can see that in that beautiful looking beginning to the day as we have the hazy smoke out there right now changing the atmosphere into more of an orange color as you wake up this morning. a lot of fog though inside the bay starting to thicken up again and partly cloudy there a moment ago but now the clouds are rolling back in. so looks like today we have that strong sea breeze in place. that will carry with it some cooler temperatures well onshore today. 50s around the bay area now. but by the afternoon, these numbers much cooler than the average as much as 13 degrees below normal. 80 expected and comfortable in morgan hill. 76 in cupertino and san jose. east bay numbers 70s and low 80s and i think that's where we top out today. then inside the bay a cool 60 and breezy into san francisco. about 69 degrees and breezy into hayward.

a bay area city's republican party endorses gay marriage. >> a republican state senate candidate wins in a heavily democratic district. they are two signs the gop is starting to tone down its opposition to same-sex marriage. "san francisco examiner" columnist melissa griffin joins us. >> good morning. >> last week we talked about the election in central california. >> there's an important election happening last tuesday, it happened, and lo and behold the republican candidate won. and that was really interesting because again the district is over 60% latino and the democrats in that district have a 22-point advantage over republicans so it seems like it was going to be a cakewalk for democrats. in fact andy vadak won. this is important. other republicans all over the state are taking a look at this. democrats shaking their heads. there still needs to be an autopsy of what happened in the election but they are going to

look at how vidak appealed to the liberal voters. he advocated a pathway to citizenship illegal immigrants and toned downed the rhetoric on same-sex marriage. he said i believe marriage is between a man and woman but the supreme court has ruled. and there's nothing the legislature can do about it so let's move on. and he sort of tamped down the rhetoric. so that was a really important move on his part. in light of that, on friday night, the marin county central committee of the republican party a central committee to determine who the republican party endorses on a local level whether it will be ballot measures or candidate, the committee voted to endorse same- sex marriage. this is a huge deal. this is the first time a republican central committee has done this in california. only the second time it's happened in the nation. the washington, d.c. republican central committee has also done this so an important shift we are seeing it looks like among california republicans. >> do you think they did that

because vidak won and that he was not throwing his support behind but at least acknowledging same-sex marriage? >> well, in addition to seeing that kind of success, marin is overwhelmingly democrat. they voted 75% against proposition 8. they are clearly in favor of same-sex marriage. the head of the marin republicans said basically look, if we want to have a future here we are need to be more inclusive. also, right now, the democrats are in a little bit of trouble in marin. there's a very serious issue with how they plan for more affordable house, more dense housing in areas of marin and people are yelling and screaming, it's gotten to extreme places. and that's actually a recall effort against one of the marin county members of the board of supervisors. so things are not looking good for local democrats. i think that the marin county republicans saw this as an opening to not necessarily increase their roles but at least get democrats in the area to think about some local

republican candidates who have been firmly against this newhousing proposal. >> do you think that other republican groups will do the same? >> you can bet they are definitely paying attention. well, first of all, it requires a relatively moderate republican group to begin with. if you have a core group of republicans on the central committee who are right wing it's not happening soon. but in areas of say the bay area and greater los angeles, you can see more moderate groups maybe considering this. in addition, again you can see marin is a little bit of maybe democratic party overreach in those kinds of instances. again, we have a moderate group of republicans and a lot of people mad at their local democrats, then you can definitely think that some republicans are going to be considering making this move as well. they are all going to be watching. >> thank you, melissa griffin. remember, you can find more of melissa's segments on kpix.com/mornings. tomorrow santa clara volusia county the voters will have a re-election -- tomorrow, santa clarita county voters
