out for a few spots of drizzle but visibility at least some bridge level is okay. once you head up a little higher into the hills. that's where you'll start to run into those clouds. future cast of winds shows them pushing inland today. that's going to keep our inland areas on the mild side for another one. in my opinion. today's you're most comfortable one with some of our tri valley and south bay cities down into the mid to upper 70's later on. pittsburgh unconquered. you're among our spots barely in the low 60's right now. i'm talking the rest of this forecast, including that weekend warm-up. still ahead, erica. >> thanks, john lyon picking up a hot spot out in santa rosa on highway one o one in north. you can see some heavy traffic here. there was a traffic collision that involved several vehicles including a big rig just as you're heading over to that. well, there. so yeah, cars are piling up. there's moving slow. you want to take time. leave a little earlier. if you're taking that this morning and then out to the east bay. looks like traffic is getting a little better from that collision that happened earlier here on state

medical services that ambulances and paramedics were having a hard time keeping up. >> our fall and the last system was over inundated with calls and they were unable to respond in a timely manner to the and so everybody was consumed with these issues not only the police department. also ambulances did have enough resources that come out of the system evil and that just goes to show to the level of violence that we were managing is that we didn't have ambulances available to you know, comment provide medical support. >> ambulance service in oakland is provided through a company called fall. it's part of a fire contract with alameda county. the agency provides service to most of alameda county. but chief armstrong says his officers had to step up and provide medical services themselves for several of the victims. >> in the north bay for families in dixon have no place to live after a 4 plex caught fire on the 4th of july. this happened as people in the neighborhood were

some homes. but they managed to put out the fire before a damaged. any structures. despite the busy night. the fire officials we talked to actually say there were fewer fires this 4th of july for last. >> temperatures were slightly lower last compared to the year before and humidities were slightly higher and that no doubt contributed to a lot of grass fires that might have started taking hold not doing so last night. >> most of the cars in contra costa county. we're in the pittsburgh antioch area. and there are also several medical calls related to fireworks. they are supposed to give us some more details about what happened later in the week. >> and take a look at the mess that was left behind. this is from san francisco where on the left side is the before on the right side is the after pictures of 3rd street and burke avenue where public works. crews had a tough job cleaning up all the debris that was dumped by people who are setting off illegal fireworks. also a busy scene

needs to have harsher consequences for those who throw these illegal events last week, another bay area city made it illegal to promote sideshows on social media. san jose is now threatening people with fines and possible jail time and a state bill to make repeat participation inside shows a felony died in committee last year, but delay host city leaders say people need to be held accountable for these wild stunts reporting in dan thorn kron 4 news. >> a 35 year-old man was killed in a drive-by shooting in santa rosa and 3 other people were shot. the gunman still on the loose and there's a growing memorial now at beachwood and greenwood drives in santa rosa, where this happened. there was a group of police say a 100 people and they were gathered setting off illegal fireworks when the shots were fired. a woman and a 17 year-old girl are in critical condition. they were hit a 16 year-old boy was also hit and injured. police say the gunman were in a car. this

started shooting and then 3, the victims were hit them. but then somebody in the crowd started shooting back. and that's when the 4th victim was struck. when the drive-by shooting happened. the car actually crashed into a parked vehicle and the suspects fled from the car. so we do have that car to running down. anybody associated with that car right now. >> anything we found in the car trying to run down those leads and some witness statements. >> police are looking at surveillance cameras in the area trying to track down the shooters are also asking people to come forward with their own doorbell cams. maybe they have some information, too. take a look at this. these running out of a neiman marcus store. this in downtown san francisco. they have. >> hands full of expensive handbags and purses. they say there are as many as 10 fees that took off with high and bags out of the store in union square. you could see looks like several getaway cars. there's a white one that takes off and then you'll see one after it there. and another

one racing down the street. police are looking for these thieves, but they seem to get fast in different directions is the second neiman marcus to be hit in the bay area. it was a similar purse heist that took place in may at the stanford shopping center. >> we'll take a break. it is a 10 still ahead on the kron 4 morning news vice president kamala harris touting president biden's infrastructure plan as lawmakers get ready for what many hope to be a bipartisan vote on capitol hill. we'll bring you the latest from dc and after the break, california's we know is dealing with several large wildfires burning across the state. the illegal fireworks we saw over the weekend didn't help matters much 4 firefighters will have an update coming up. >> and outside this morning. very gray out there s f o sitting under this low cloud cover that will loosen its grip on bayside in inland cities. but it's going to stay put right along the coast. most of us today in the 60's 70's to low to mid 80's your forecast ahead. >> and i am seeing some

traffic collisions that could be impacting your commute. i'll tell you where after the break.

>> it 14 and while firefighters in the bay area or very busy over the holiday weekend. dave actually been busy up and down the state

with wild fires for weeks. yeah. as a matter of right now about dozen fires are actively burning statewide. crews say the hot, dry conditions aren't helping it feels a lot hotter than it typically does in july. nancy loo has the story. and ongoing air attack in shasta county is helping. but the salt fire rages on. >> a spark from a vehicle along i 5 ignited the fire last week and it is now grown to about 11,000 acres at least 27 homes have been destroyed so far. and it happened within i want to say like 15 minutes. it was just exploding. tiffany barber evacuated. her home in lake had along with her fiance and their 2 young sons just in time. but they have lost everything it seems so surreal. i i'm still heartbroken. you know, i can't look at the photos without crying. >> it's it's very hard. you know, even just not even the things that we buy. but. you know, i have memory boxes from

my son's. there been no reports of casualties. but the salt fires also damage the power infrastructure, so pg and e is out making repairs. >> just to the north is the state's biggest battle in siskiyou county. but there's not shot down. the bottom of it is no >> the lava fire was sparked by lightning 2 weeks ago and it has scorched about 25,000 acres so far, mainly in the shasta-trinity national forest. >> the ongoing wildfires amid a severe drought made for a nervous night as fireworks lit up the skies all over the state. in san diego and many points beyond the celebration of a nationwide, all kinds of crowds. but beyond the professional shows there were a lot of the legal displays in la county and other communities, including fresno. >> despite crackdowns and warnings about the fire threat. illegal rockets look to be everywhere. in fresno,

keeping law enforcement and firefighters busy crews even deployed a drone. one of the thoughts was to use that drone as additional bit of technology to try to provide us with locations on aerial fireworks. so we've got the fireworks behind us for the holiday goes, but they're still afraid people are going to set them off week. so worried about the weather. you know, it's going to brutally hot, i guess for some come this weekend. john. yeah. and with that brutally hot weather guys comes increased fire risk. so if there are any fireworks left. >> could result in an even more problematic situation, at least for the 4th itself. we weren't too terribly hot and humidity was actually relatively high throughout the weekend and that did help to suppress fire danger just a little bit. we're still in the midst of that pattern. but right at the tail end of it now today and tomorrow. our last of our ocean cool the days. and you can see that that low cloud cover from her berkeley hills cam. can't miss it as you're getting out

there. some of our inland areas are under some clear skies. but really most of us this morning are sitting under that gray, which is still hovering, especially on the peninsula and on bayside areas itself. now our inland in bayside cities will get a solid dose of sunshine later on. i'm expecting it to remain pretty cloudy at the coastline, though. so don't expect a lot of sun if you're in areas like afternoon bayer stinson beach. high pressure is building stronger and that's going to cut off this ocean influence starting on thursday, meaning that coastal areas will still remain cool, but our inland areas are going to start to see temperatures soaring in the meantime today and tomorrow are good days to enjoy, especially for in the neighbors that are about to be warming up so much 50's 60's for your highs near the coastline. while it will be 60's and 70's for most of our beside cities. carlos in redwood city each at 74 degrees. south bay temperatures rising to the upper 70's, which is cooler than yesterday, san jose at 77 for your high pleasanton and livermore each at 78 while hayward through oakland mostly in the 60's concord walnut

creek. much of the north bay in the 80's vacaville, though you are lone spot at 90 degrees and you'll be in good company come the wet part later part of this week and into the weekend. you do see the change their inland on thursday as highs rise from the 80's on average to the 90's in triple digits following that into friday saturday and sunday if you need an escape from the heat had to the coast. it's still going to be nice and cool out that direction. fire danger is also going to be a big concern come this weekend. erica. >> thanks, john. we'll have another accident on one. oh, one north up there in santa rosa. we just had one earlier today closer to the 12 and we have a second one here near todd road down there. you can see the heavy traffic. multiple vehicles in this. and we have a couple lanes blocked. i'm working to get more details on that. so just leave earlier, if you plan on taking that this morning and look at that looking much better up there on the 4 after that traffic collision that i

told you about at state route 4 near railroad avenue looking like it's getting much better than we were at earlier this morning. here's a look outside the san mateo bridge right now. it's moving, as you can see, no issues on the high rise either. both directions are going smooth. 13 minutes crossing out over to one o one on the peninsula. you happen to be the 24 westbound walnut creek out to the 5.80. it's looking pretty good. 12 minutes. we did see drive times increase a little bit there as well as for these routes as you can see interstate 5.80, from livermore to dublin. 12 minutes. if you're taking highway one o one in the south bay from morgan hill to san jose. you can expect around 14 minutes. james and daria, thanks a lot of tate 20 in a national news congress gets live for us off is a holiday. but there's still stuff going on behind the scenes. yeah. work being done right now. so

that when lawmakers come back to be able to vote on a eipartisan infrastructure deal. we've got and working with tht very latest from washington. >> good morning. we'll senators will return back here to washington, dc next week with a heavy to do list before they go home for the august recess and on the top of that to do list. a massive infrastructure deal. >> vice president kamala harris spent the holiday weekend touting the administration's infrastructure deal. it would be the largest long-term infrastructure investment. >> in nearly a century in our country. it would be even bigger. then the hoover dam. and it would create a whole lot of jobs for carpenters and joiners and traits. people of all kinds here is carpenters at a press conference in nevada that the 5 year 973 billion dollar bill would go to rebuild roads and bridges and includes money to build a national network of electric vehicle charging stations upgrade. the

electrical grid and improve drinking water. we need to get this framework across the finish line. the administration says 90% of the expected 1 million jobs created from this deal. >> could go to workers without a college degree. >> this is a generational investment. >> but some republicans like texas congressman michael mccaul aren't convinced. i worry. >> they're going expand health care and education of nothing to do with you know, with infrastructure. mccaul said on fox news sunday that the bipartisan bill might be the only chance to pass an infrastructure plan. >> but warns negotiators to keep it straight forward. if you're really serious about >> look at traditional infrastructure that is roads forages rural broadband which is so important to the country right now. and not much up with things have nothing to do with infrastructure. >> president biden and vice president kamala harris plan to make several trips across the country over the next few weeks to pitch his plan directly to the american

which is back open. now, if you want to head out there, maybe got that extra day off. who knows. after the 4th of july fog cast shows that visibility is fine for most areas. couple of drizzly spots. mostly isolated to the santa cruz mountains near the coastline future cast of winds shows that winds will continue to push inland today. this is going to have that moderating effect on our inland temperatures and honestly bring some of the nicest temperatures of the week to some of our inland valleys areas like livermore. you may be at 58 right now. but your daytime high later today. 78 degrees. that is going to be something you miss come this weekend as we get so much hotter, i'll tell you more about that. still to come. first, though, on over to erica with a look at your traffic. >> thank you, john. we'll still seeing some heavy traffic on one. oh, one north up in santa rosa near the top road exit, as you can see, we had a multi vehicle collision that happened in 2 lanes. there are still block. so just a heads up if you're going to take that this morning. be prepared for that. and it's

looking smooth on the 4 now following that traffic collision. they've cleared it. the lanes are open and it is great if you're traveling across that this morning. no issues right now if you're heading out to one o one taking the richmond sandra fell bridge right after you hit the tolls, it's looking smooth. no issues there in both directions. as for other drive times around the bay here. interstate 5.80 from livermore to dublin is about 12 minutes in the south bay from morgan hill to san jose taking highway one. oh, one. you can expect 11 minutes and just a heads up. if you're taking caltrain this at the 22nd street stop in san antonio in mountain view stops. all trains are boarding on the northbound platform james and darya. back to you. it's a lot of tape 32. and let's talk coronavirus. yes. so the highly contagious delta variant is now the dominant strain in california. we've been reporting that. but now new numbers show that is being.

>> behind now. 36 1% of all new cases in the state. that's a big jump from what it was in may when the delta variant only accounted for. >> less than 6% and then in april it was only responsible for 2 percents. we've seen a giant increase here in these last few months. and because of that sacramento they're thinking about how to contain the delta variant. they have their own coronavirus outbreak going on in the state capitol. >> and one stat. one state senator is proposing that all state employees must be required to get a covid shot. you know, we've got a capitol bureau reporter ashley zavala to explain more. >> we have a responsibility to the public. to to take public health precautions. first else. >> for our co-workers and to protect members of the public state. senator scott wiener is calling on all public employees, including elected officials to get vaccinated. we are elected officials or legislative staffers. whether we are. firefighters or police officers are working at the dmv. we're homeless outreach

workers. we are all interacting with the public. and we also are keeping the government open working and functioning. the push comes as 9 state capitol employees and staff members in the assembly have tested positive for covid-19 within about a week. the most recent memo sent over the weekend said the latest 2 people to test positive were fully vaccinated and wearing masks. they think they're you know, we're covering as we've seen with. >> with many people, the public and state senator melissa melendez weighing in on the push to vaccinate public employees. i've always believed that vaccination is a personal choice and i understand those are, you know, are very fearful getting this virus and really they would prefer that everyone get vaccinated whether it's public employees or private employees. >> but that's not reasonable the strains of the capital cases are unknown. the effort to contain the outbreak comes as california's most dominant strain is the infectious delta variant the state's positivity rate is increasing slightly. at 1.5% as of monday state data shows about 60% of

california's population is fully vaccinated for now state lawmakers say there are no plans to push legislation mandating public employees get vaccinated wiener pointing to san francisco now requiring all city workers to get vaccinated. we should see that more broadly agencies should be mandating and so forth. it's not about legislation think it would be a tough sell. certainly. >> but that has never stopped people before forward balance that aren't necessarily popular. >> state. health officials say they are prepared for slight increases in cases and hospitalizations. but at the moment they say they do not anticipate any threat to the state's health care system. capacity at the state capitol. ashley zavala kron 4 news. >> it's 35 and a man wanted for a string of armed robberies in san jose was arrested in antioch, cameron cali led police on a high-speed chase on highway 4 hillcrest avenue. it ended in the glen him. glen neighborhood where police say conley ran 3 patrol cars with his car and then took off running inside somebodys
