so it is stacking up towards the overcrossings. and not helping matters, all right, i guess the accident is there. we were getting first reports of an accident near treasure island westbound 80. it must be either in the tunnel or just past it because this is a live look at traffic on the new span on the new eastern span reportedly blocking one lane involving several cars so this won't help the bay bridge commute. bart is on time with more than 45 trains. that is your latest traffic. for more on your forecast, here's lawrence. >> summer sunshine making a return to the bay area looking good as we sail through the day. legs wind and warmer temperatures. outside now a couple of cool spots. 49 in napa. 53 in pacifica but we have some 60s into santa rosa and 56 in san jose. this afternoon, enjoying some of that sunshine and temperatures heating up in a hurry. 70s and 80s into the south bay.

of the housing market. the commerce department says that single-family home starts rose 7% in august from july. that was the biggest gain in six months. also permits for single family hopes up 6% which offsets the new apartment construction which swings widely month to month. we saw a rise in permits of 3%. there was easing on mortgage prices also last week helping that market out. federal reserve wraps up a two-day meeting this morning and most observers on wall street are expecting the fed to announce it will begin to trim its monthly bond purchases. currently totaling $85 billion. the market is expecting about $10 billion to be pulled back. anything more and you could city a severe reaction on the stock market. electronic arts naming a new ceo. andrew wilson, who headed up ea sports, responsible for the madden and other franchises,

the move comes after the growing frequency of starbucks appreciation days when gun rights advocates bring firearms to starbucks cafes. the company says it hopes people abide by its rule but says it will still serving customers who bring in firearms. the old saying can't walk and chew gum at the same time has evolved into a 21st century phenomenon. people can't walk and talk on the phone. more and more encounters, bumping into others, are sending people to the hospital. a study finds the number of emergency room visits due to people walking with their cell phones has risen more than five fold since 2005. so what kind of people most likely to get in trouble texting and walking? >> extremely smart. perhaps lacking in common sense. >> just walk around like this. >> i have seen it multiple times. people walking into doors. >> so smart with no common sense. most of them are between 16 and

25 years old. there are now public awareness campaigns to get people to put down the phones and just walk. >> you know, when you go on a curb and you're walking, that's when, you know, it really gets scary. you get on broadway here going out to get coffee, wait a minute! cars coming. >> you just have to be careful, liz. >> you do. i know. i have had people bump into me, too walking down the embarcadero. we are watching a couple different things. first to the bay bridge, it is unfortunately a very slow crawl all across the deck this morning. there is an accident involving four cars, a couple of lanes blocked. it's on the suspension span past treasure island. it sounds like it's closer towards the fremont street exit. but you can see cars are moving at a very slow pace from the incline all the way up towards the san francisco side of the bridge and behind the pay gates, the metering lights are turned on before 6:00 so we're also left with a big backup there that extends into the maze. and also, just a heads up. this is our other issue we have going on now. the west grand ramp to west 80 in the maze is also closed due

to an overturned big rig. so we're watching that again, as well. first reports of that new accident just coming in. if you want to continue to use the san mateo bridge, everything looks good on southbound 880 and 92 as you make your way across the span from hayward towards the peninsula. this has been our other problem spot this morning. it's still there blocking up to one lane. this is northbound 101 sierra point parkway. traffic is very slow from grand all the way out towards brisbane. mass transit would be another great option because everything is on time including all bart trains. they have more than 50 all on schedule right now. that is the latest "timesaver traffic." for more on your forecast and these temperatures heating up here's lawrence. >> yeah. one last gasp of summer. we are going to see some beautiful weather. we have a live shot a few high clouds cruising on overhead looking good as we've got mostly sunny skies coming our way and a gentle sea breeze into the afternoon.

otherwise, these temperatures are going to be warming up today. and then some big changes as we head in toward friday. in fact, the clouds rolling in there's even a chance of showers on the way. for today enjoy the sunshine. high pressure building in and warming things up outside. not going to be as windy. of course we had those strong gusty winds over 30 miles per hour in some parts of the bay area. not as strong for today. around the state 80s into the central valley 67 and mostly sunny today in eureka. 70 degrees into monterey bay and 68 in lake tahoe. around the bay today, you will find upper 80s in some of the warmest spots inland. 70s and 80s and sunny around the bay and sunny at the coast, too. temperatures there into the 60s. next couple of days, we are going to warm up those temperatures nicely. then we'll cool down on friday with more clouds on the way. slight chance of showers friday night and into saturday. >> time to check out your schoolcast. we have valle vista elementary school in petaluma. that's one cool school! lots of sunshine coming your way. if you are starting out the day

cool early on but by lunchtime about mid-70s there. then when you get out temperatures in the upper 80s. if you would like to nominate your school for our schoolcast, go to kpix.com/schoolcast and you can enter there. >> all right. sounds good, lawrence, thanks. time now for a look at what's coming up later on "cbs this morning." this is a big show. it's gayle king, she joins us live in new york on a wednesday. good morning. >> reporter: it is a big show. but frank and michelle, before we get started. should i be worried about the 49ers or was this just early in the season? >> i don't know. >> i like your team. >> yeah. don't worry about the 9ers. i think they will bounce back. >> oh, yeah. >> from your lips to god's ears. got it. ahead, military misconduct. mental health issues, run-ins with the law. john miller with new information on why the navy yard shooter was given security clearance despite red flags. plus only on "cbs this morning," skydiver felix
