>> and the evacuations under way as a new wildfire in northern california burns out of control. >> and this morning, supreme court justice nominee brett rathon d of questioning on capitol hill. good morning, it is thursday, september 6th. i'm michelle griego. >> and i'm melissa caen in for kenny choi. >> let's start with a live look outside. on the left-hand side, this is a shot from emeryville of the bay bridge. can you tell? not that far away, huh? >> no. >> on the right-hand side, jaclyn, where is this? >> that's oakland. right by the coliseum. >> 880. the traffic doesn't look too bad right now. it's 5:00. >> 5:00. not too many people are awake yet. so -- >> they're waking up. >> they are watching kpix 5. >> why would they be on the road when we're still on? >> yeah! today weather-wise you're going to feel good out there. it's going to start to warm up a little bit inland. here's a live look now at the golden gate bridge and not too

foggy. we have higher level clouds out there this morning. so it is all part of that morning marine layer that we always get. now, things inland are going to start to warm up. so temperatures today will be slightly warmer than yesterday. very close to normal for this time of year. yesterday we stayed below normal across the bay area, heating up by friday. so tomorrow things are going to start to get a lot hotter, especially inland. i'll show you why coming up in your full forecast. for now, let's give you another view of that beautiful bay bridge. nice clear conditions out there right now. 55 degrees in san francisco. 57 in livermore. you are waking up to 57 in oakland, concord at 58. it is cooler in santa rosa. it has been in the low 50s the past couple mornings and it's like that again today. so here's a look at that satellite/radar. we are noticing that marine layer not quite extending beyond the delta. so it's staying put right along the coast and, yes, even extended as far as concord and livermore but as far as visibility goes, the beach at half moon bay is not bad. we are used to patchy fog at the coast. where we are seeing it is

right there in petaluma. but that's about it. so that's good news as far as your drive is concern. it shouldn't be a nuisance. wind speeds now a little stronger than they were this time yesterday, around 7, 8 miles per hour, through fairfield 20 miles an hour from the southwest. it's that onshore wind again and that of course is going to lead to cooler conditions right by the water. jaclyn? >> thank you, neda. speaking of the bay bridge, here's another angle -- well, this is of the bay bridge toll plaza. can't say we're looking at the bridge. but this is a look at the backup. no metering lights just yet. but we certainly got some delays. a couple of those cars in the cash lanes. we are still in the gras far as our travel times go. the backup doesn't extend even close to the west grand overcrossing. so we're still good if you are heading into san francisco. san mateo bridge, not too shabby. we have speeds in the green in both directions making your way between 880 and 101. where we are tracking slowdowns, northbound 680.

caltrans had an overnight closure at sheridan and they were scheduled to have all that wrapped up at 5:00. but it looks like we're still dealing with those delays. we have seen that backup decrease. so it's getting closer to about mission boulevard or just beyond that right now with speeds below 10 miles per hour. it looks like they are in the process of picking up those cones. but you will be slow going until you get past andrade. they had a detour set up and you may still want to go through that or some cars may still be going through that off at sheridan and using mission road up to andrade. hat's a check of your traffic; over to you. thank you. a stretch of i-5 is closed this morning because of a wildfire in shasta county. >> jackie ward joins us now with the latest on the delta fire. here we go again. reporter: another terrible situation. this fire is already big and it's taking over nearly 8 square miles of land in rural northern california. the delta fire was first

reported yesterday afternoon and has already burned 5,000 acres. this is in an area where there's a lot of timber, brush and steep terrain, the perfect kind of fuel to keep a wildfire going. some evacuations have been ordered in the area, campgrounds, recreational homes and remote cabins. so far the fire is not threatening any large towns. but the city of dunsmuir is under an evacuation warning so be ready to go. amtrak's coast starlight service is stopped between sacramento and klamath falls, oregon. 45 miles of i-5 is closed and authorities won't say when it will re-open. at one point flames were so overpowering that truck drivers had to abandon their trucks on the road because flames were engulfing the hillsides right next to them. at least two trucks burned. riw, oritiebelievis what they c human-caused, although they aren't releasing details. >> we know the weather is always an important factor when crews are out there fighting these wildfires. what is it like there now?

>> it's warm and really hot which is just terrible. it's not at all what the firefighters need and the humidity isn't helping things either. >> thank you. a prestigious high school in san jose announced its president is resigning. it comes as the school is accused of mishandling sexual abuse allegations. kpix 5's anne makovec is outside presentation high school with all the details. reporter: a big shake-up here this morning with news that the president is now stepping down. let me take you back to how this all began starting with more than a dozen reported victims who attended this catholic all girls high school dating back to the '80s. they allege that the school mishandled complaints of sexual harassment and inappropriate advances by teachers, coaches and staff. mary miller has been the school principal for the past 25 years and before that was a teacher and presentation

principal and president. live in san jose, anne makevoc, kpix 5. several miles interstate 5 are shut down now because of a new wildfire in shasta county. jackie ward is here with more on the delta fire. reporter: this is just the latest wildfire in northern california burning right now. it is 0% contained. it was first reported yesterday afternoon and the delta fire has already burned 5,000 acres in shasta county north of lakehead so that's about eight square miles of land. this is a fast-moving fire because of the ideal conditions flames need to grow and spread quickly. it's in a part of the state that has timber and thick brush. several small mountain towns have had to be evacuated. so far there are no large towns being threatened. however, the city of dunsmuir is under an evacuation warning which means residents should be ready to go at any time. amtrak's coast starlight service is on hold between sacramento and klamath falls, oregon, as well. about 45 miles of i-5 have been shut down from 10 miles north of redding and fogdale road to four miles south of

the city of shasta county at mott road because the fire is burning on both sides of the freeway. 17 trucks were abandoned on the interstate yesterday and at least two of them burned. this thick smoke is likely going to remain trapped in the lower areas for a while as relative humidity recovery is expected to remain very poor with very warm temperatures today. we just spoke with a fire official who explained the kind of crews working on the scene right now. >> we'll have crews actively engaged in fighting the fire as well, aircraft will be available to us as is safe to do so with the smoke layer. >> reporter: about 600 fire personnel are trying to put it out. some firefighters have come all the way from maine to help. the cause is being investigated by the shasta- trinity national forest. right now, they believe a person somehow started this fire. >> thank you. crews so bata wildfire in el dorado county. the "sliger fire" has burned about 90 acres since it effect

county and neighboring placer county. he cause is under investigation. we're learning more about a deadly plane crash in palo alto. chopper 5 captured the wreckage still embedded in thick mud. the plane was part of a charity program flying a 16- year-old girl and her mother from redding to a medical appointment at stanford children's hospital. they survived but the pilot did not. that pilot identified as w. john spencer of placerville. the plane crashed in a lagoon fire that the palette airport tuesday morning. investigate -- near the palo alto airport tuesday morning. investigators say he asked for directions before landing. the pilot crashed before making a second landing attempt. the illegal immigrant accused of killing an iowa college student was known by another name where he worked for years. the suspect's real name is christian rivera but on the dairy farm where he worked he

was known as john budd. that suspect is charged with first-degree murder after confessing to kidnapping and killing mollie tibbetts. the suspect's alias john budd reportedly appears in official government records. so far, no comment from the farm where he worked. the biggest mystery in washington this morning is who is that senior trump aide behind the anonymous "new york times" op. ed.? >> as laura podesta reports, u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo says it's not him. >> believe it anonymous. mean gutless. reporter: president trump tweeted a one word question, treason? and he called on the paper to turn over to the government the senior official who wrote the scathing piece. >> we have somebody in what i call the failing "new york times" that's talking about he is part of the resistance within the trump administration. this is what we have to deal with. >> reporter: in the op. ed., the author claims the

president's impulsiveness resulted in half-baked decisions and that unsung heroes have gone to great lengths to keep bad decisions contained to the west wing. >> this is what all of us have understood to be the situation from day one. >> reporter: members of congress say they are not surprised by what was written. >> those of us who have been around him in moments when he's lost it understand that you don't want to be in the room and hear what he has to say and god forbid be in the room when he is about to make a terrible decision that will hurt this country. >> reporter: a "new york times" spokesman says the op. ed. adds significant value to the public's understanding of what is going on in the trump administration from someone who is in a position to know. laura podesta, cbs news. >> the op. ed. came a day after reports of a new book by bob woodward entitled fear. president trump called the book a work of fiction, multiple times. experts say influenza probably got passengers sick on a plane bound for new

york's jfk airport. three passengers and seven crew members are being evaluated at the hospital after falling ill yesterday on an emirates airlines flight. eric >> first thing i did when i got on the plane was actually ask the stewardess for a masks. she said there were none on board. people were really sick. >> in all, more than 100 people on the flight reported symptoms like coughing, fever or vomiting. it's been a year since credit monitoring company equifax announced a data breach that affected nearly 148 million americans. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger says this is a good time for an identity theft prevention check-in. sounds good to us, jill. so what happened in the aftermath of the breach? >> reporter: it may shock you to learn that not too much has occurred. okay. let me just say, there of course were congressional hearings, a ceo resigned, the

company signed a consent order with regulators. all that is true. but if you were hoping for serious consumer reform, forget it! that means the onus is still on you to protect yourself and your identity. >> so what steps should we take? >> i think that the first easy one is to always have a credit fraud alert on your credit file. this is an interesting action because it requires a financial institution to take steps to verify your identity before allowing access to your file. so that's your baby step. the bigger step is a credit freeze and i actually prefer that one because it stops all access to your credit reports. but there is an important caveat about a freeze. if you actually need to access credit for yourself, maybe it's a car loan or a mortgage, you have to unfreeze your records and that can take a few days. also, there are still some

states that charge a fee for placing or removing credit freezes. you should always review that credit report every 12 months at annualcreditreport.com. if you find an error, report it immediately. stay on top of the process. and one important note for parents. there is a new federal through goes into effect this month and it allows you to check your kids' credit reports. lots of identity theft for kids under 18. i have links to all the agencies and nine best practices to keep the criminals at bay. just go to jillonmoney.com. >> i didn't even think about the kids. so that's a good tip. i'll be looking online for all of that information. thank you, cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger. time now 5:41. muni has a new plan to improve service. >> costs are going up to fix the oroville dam.

but they're keeping a close eye

on the latest problem... plaguing a sinking and leaning high-rise building in san inspectors believe there is no current public threat but they are keeping a close eye on the latest problem plaguing sinking and leaning high-rise millenium tower in san francisco. the new concern is a cracked window on the 36th floor and the possibility of glass falling. it appears to be safe but it's too soon to say according to city inspectors. there could be bigger problems in the future. >> i don't want in an earthquake for glass to be, you know, knee deep all around that building. >> there's currently warning tape along the sidewalk below to discourage people from walking under the cracked window. this morning, state officials say the cost of dealing with last year's crisis at the nation's tallest dam has now climbed to more than $1 billion. the department of water resources says construction costs are driving the increase at the oroville dam in butte county. early last year, a catastrophic failure of the

main spillway forced nearly 200,000 people to evacuate. next month marks one year since the devastating tubbs fire in santa rosa. this morning the city's water system was so overwhelmed, there was little they could have done to keep the water pressure powerful in the fountain grove neighborhood, the conclusion of a report on the city's water systems. it recommends several changes to the emergency water system. it's 5:45 right now. hi, melissa. >> hi. >> getting an extended shot of you. >> why not. let's check weather. it's a better shot than outside. >> yes. it's definitely cloudy again today. we're talking about a morning marine layer which is very normal. we have been seeing it the past several mornings and we are seeing it again. live look at san jose right now. higher level cloud coverage, we are not noticing too much patchy fog which is good for

drivers. 60 degrees in san jose. santa rosa at 53. san francisco 55 degrees. upper 50s for oakland, livermore and concord. in the north bay it's cooler. satellite-radar showing the marine layer is not quite gone beyond the delta so the central valley seems to be somewhat clear but all around the bay area of course covered in clouds. our winds are not too bad. west wind at 10. overall the west wind keeps things cool by the beaches and the bay. this is what we're watching as it gets closer to us. we are going to see the temperatures rising. but for now, it's southwest of us. for now, today, it will be a little bit warmer because it is a little bit closer than it was yesterday. once it gets very close to us, which will be tomorrow, 90 in
