september. >> thank you. >> september the 1st. i'm dave clark. >> good morning. i'm pam cook. let's see how we're starting off weather wise. steve is here. hi, steve. >> hello, pam and david. usually september is some of the best time of the year along the coast for sunshine and it looks like it's try to go get its act together today. we still have some patchy fog over there, but overall looks like a warmer pattern, 60s, 70s and then inland, it won't take long, upper 80s to a few low 90s. there are some cool lows. we'll talk about that in a few minutes. here's sal. reporter: traffic on the golden gate bridge looks good, heading down to the toll plaza no major problems here and it's light. here's a look at the westbound bay bridge and that traffic is moving nicely getting into san francisco. coming up on 5:00. let's go back to the desk. this morning a veteran san jose police officer is behind bars. he's accused of having sex with two teenaged boys. ktvu's claudeine wong joins us now from san jose where there is concern of more victims. reporter: certainly, pam, this investigation is continuing. we are at the santa a clare a

county main jail and this is where the officer is being held this morning on $10,000 bail. and we are learning more about him and the charges against him. we want to show you a picture of 44-year-old patrick d a's araribo. he has been with the san jose police department for 10 years in the patrol division. this investigation has apparently been going on for quite a while. it's actually a gilroy investigation. we know the case involves two teenaged boys, but san jose police aren't saying much more. >> right now all i can tell you is the penal code for the allegation falls under 2288. there's a multitude of different lewd acts that fall under that section. we can't discuss the specific nature of the charges, however, we can confirm that there are at least three charges, there are at least two victims. reporter: he is no stranger to trouble. in fact, he just came back on the job in january after being accused of covering up a 2008 dui crash involving another

officer. he was actually terminated but then after arbitration he was reinstated and he is now, according to policy, on paid administrative leave while he waits to be arraigned on these criminal charges. again, this investigation not over yet and police are asking anyone with any information to come forward. live in san jose, claudeine wong, ktvu channel 2 news. gang activity in san francisco's mission district is getting out of control, but the police have a new plan aimed at squashing it. taramoriarty is live in san francisco with what they plan to do. tara. reporter: that's right, we're off 21st street and new hampshire street and this is the street where the latest victim of gang violence died. 29-year-old edison lacia was shot three times and killed here 11:30 tuesday night. he's the second victim of gang warfare in less than a 24-hour period. now san francisco police are beefing up patrols. the examiner reporting that police will be adding more beat cops and plain-clothessed officers driving cool cars

but many are being labeled as failing by the federal government. a record 49% of schools met or surpassed the state academic performance target of 800. that's up 3% from last year. but the no child left behind act formula puts more than 900 schools in a failing category called program improvement. california's schools chief calls the formula flawed. he sent a letter to the u.s. education secretary requesting relief from sanctions. time now 5:03. in just a couple of hours, a very important court hearing begins tied to the san bruno pipeline disaster almost one year ago. many homeowners who sued pg&e over the explosion and fire, they're hoping to get a trial date. but this may be a long, drawn out process. more than 300 plaintiffs are involved in this lawsuit. the judge wants to consolidate and simplify their claims against pg&e. oakland police want your help this morning. they're trying to find a missing woman described as at

risk. 41-year-old sabrina phillips was last seen july 24th in oakland. she's described as 5'4", 160 pounds with black hair, brown eyes, and police say she may be suicidal. she was driving her mother's 1984 red honda civic dell soel. the license plate number, there it is, 3lgr668. if you have any information, call oakland police. oakland police are also investigating another fatal shooting in a troubled neighborhood. it happened last night near the corner of 77th and bancroft. investigators say a gunman opened fire on a man sitting inside his car. there have been two other homicides in the same area during the past few months. one victim was a castlemont high school senior who was shot to death while riding his bike. tires were slashed on more than 60 cars in a south berkry neighborhood and police patrols are now being yeesed. cars were targeted along a 17- block stretch, mostly on california street. we found one man who just

relocated to the area to look for work, only to wake up to find his rental truck damaged. his brother-in-law's car was also hit. reporter: are you angry? >> well, actually, perplexed more than angry. >> police tell us here at ktvu that they know who they're looking for and that an arrest could be made as early as today. time now 5:05. let's check in with sal and see what's happening on the roads. how are things moving out there? reporter: things are actually moving okay out there, as a matter of fact. let's go outside and take a look at what we have on 80 westbound. you can see traffic looks pretty good as you drive out to the macarthur maze with no major problems and the road work near golden gate fields has been picked up. it's making things a lot easier. westbound bay bridge toll plaza looks nice, no delay at the toll plaza and the road work on the upper deck is gone. and going into san jose, it's a nice looking ive on 280 northbound getting up to highway 17, and that traffic looks good up to highway 17 and

beyond that into the west valley. today's forecast, here's steve. >> thank you, sal. and the cooling looks like it ends today. i was looking at some of the higher elevations, really haven't warmed up yet, but their wind is half of what it was 24 hours ago, still around 67, 68 degrees you get up around 1500 to 2,000 feet, but it is showing signs of warming up a little bit. usually look for that and a decrease in the sea breeze and that's what we're seeing. still some patchy fog out there, but it looks like today will bounce up -- there we go, after a cooldown for a couple of days, but you get to september, you get the warmup, then you get the cool down and that's exactly what it looks like in the next three to five days. a little bit of a different pattern change here, high pressure which has been in the southwest for the longest time, it would build in and get knocked down as a system moves into the north. there are signs that the high pressure will build into the pacific northwest which is a classic september pattern. that usually gives us our warmest weather. so maybe for those on the coast, it's been a tough summer, i realize there's been a lot of fog, but there is

hope. a chilly morning for napa. that's at the airport. i have to dig deep and look towards napa town and see if i can find some cooler readings, and i probably can. so some upper 40s. santa rosa at 52. a lot of mid-50s. hayward 58. still some patchy fog, but west/southwest nine at travis. that's nothing for them. a couple of days ago it was 25 miles an hour. east/southeast 10 san jose. so the system that's moving into the pacific northwest will now move out. you can see it carves itself out right there, but high pressure is building in, kind of toppling over and that will give us a northerly breeze that will wipe out most of the fog. don't forget about the large south swell, though, building surf for the south-facing beaches. dangerous rip rip currents all the way into the weekend, so don't turn your back on the ocean if you're heading down to the coast. morning fog, and it's not as thick as it was the last couple of days and sunshine oplenty. the sea breeze is really starting to fall apart. it will be warmer today, so 60s, 70s coast and bay. we'll go 70 in the city.

that's a down right heat wave compared to where they've been the last week or so. upper 70s, 80s and you find some upper 80s and 90s inland. extended outlook does have warmer weather today and friday, probably into saturday, but fog will start to creep back to the coast and cooler sunday, monday. time now 5:08. tropical storm katia has reached hurricane strength as it's moving across the atlantic. it's now about 1800 miles east of the leeward islands, moving towards florida. the forecasters say the wind speeds are up to 75 miles an hour. right now still too early to tell if hurricane katia will threaten land, but the hurricane center in miami is warning everybody, be on alert. well, at least a dozen communities in vermont still cut off today as people all up and down the east coast dealing with the flood waters left behind by hurricane irene. yesterday the national guard kept dropping off urgently needed supplies to people still trapped in vermont. the flood waters have washed away bridges and roads and

leaving a lot of people completely isolated. the damage is widespread. look at these pictures. from north carolina to new york, they're dealing with those high water levels from the storm last week. 5:09 is the time right now. it is still a problem that is happening 10 years after 9/11, emergency radios are still not connected. what's behind the delay. plus amazon.com making what it considers a really good offer to the state of california. reporter: good morning. if you're driving anytime soon on interstate 680, let's say from san ramon or pleasanton, it's looking good. i'll tell you more about the morning commute.

insurance commissioner to reject or modify proposed rate increases by health insurance companies. now, it passed the state assembly, but it needs to be approved by the senate before next week. even if it clears that hurdle, the governor may not sign it. republicans in congress are forcing president obama to delay his jobs speech next week. ktvu's alison burns is in our washington d.c. newsroom to talk about how a simple scheduling issue has turned into headline news. reporter: at issue here is the president's request to the speaker of the house to address a joint session of congress. it is one of the grand simples of the presidency, we see it at the steun address when he walks into -- state of the union address when he walks and delivers a message to house members. in this case president obama wanted to address creating jobs on wednesday, the first day congress returns from its recess. but it is the same night as a republican presidential debate. the white house says house speaker john boehner had been

consulted about it, but speaker boehner rejected the president's request yesterday, saying there would not be time for security sweeps after the house finished its work that day. democrats say speaker boehner is out of line. but the president conceded and will deliver the speech in prime time the next night. more on what white house aides are saying about whether the president's speech will conflict with the opening night of nfl football during my next update in an hour. for now, live in washington d.c., alison burns, ktvu, channel 2 news. white house counterterrorism chief john brennan says al-qaida is on the decline after the death of the group's second in command. brennan says al-qaida's number two man was killed by a cia drone strike in pakistan last week. he also says u.s. intelligence has detected no active terror plots as we approach the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. there's still no nationwide radio network

today the caltrain board is expected to sign on with a new operator and they are taking the more expensive deal despite facing budget cuts. the board is expected to sign a nearly $400 million deal with missouri-based transit america. but this deal will cost them $24 million more than a bid by a different operator. caltrain's board says the more expensive contract will provide better service to riders. time now 5:16. the livermore police department is being praised for its focus on traffic safety. last month the chp handed out commendations to the police department for their work on traffic, child, passenger and motorcycle safety. the six-member traffic unit enforces the law, but they also coordinate children and adult education programs as well. it's 5:17. want to go back over to sal. any problems, sal? reporter: no, not really, dave and pam. so can i take it to the bridge? thank you, i will. i'll take it to the bridge. late go to the golden gate bridge right now. southbound 101 as you head down to the toll plaza, looks pretty

to 84. biggest jump should be inland, but a cool morning, clear and cool. there's a lot of upper 40s and right at 50 degrees on some of these lows, but it does look sunny and warmer. the sea breeze has really been cut in half. that's kind of the key. i'm not seeing any warmer air aloft yet. if i saw that, then it would be a slam dunk, but it's not happening yet. but the sea breeze is just falling apart. a northerly breeze is starting to get its act together. still, there though, there's your 48 at napa airport. 52 san rafael. oakland airport at 53. san jose and livermore both 56. only west/southwest nine at travis. east/southeast 10 at san jose, a rather breezy day yesterday, still made it to 80, going to 84 for san jose today. and then calm conditions up in santa rosa. some patchy fog, more in the way of fog than low clouds, so some of that visibility may be reduced. we have to get this whole system through, first and it hasn't really happened. it's working its way inland, but the high pressure system out here is beginning to build in. so it's on its way, it's just a

matter of timing as is everything in weather. the large south swell building surf continues today and that'll take us into the weekend, so be careful if you're heading down to the beaches. dangerous rip currents and those sneaker waves. morning fog, sunny, north breeze is on its way. it will be warmer, especially inland, 60s, 70s coast and bay and upper 70s to low 80s inland, but then you start to find well away from the marine influence upper 80s to some low 90s. should get about a four to eight-degree jump on those temps. more of the same on friday. then it does look mostly sunny to warm on saturday. fog back and that means cooler on sunday, monday. european markets are all lower right now after germany reports weak growth in the second quarter. overnight, though, most asian stock markets posted gains, driven in part by the rally on wall street. japan's nikkei finished trade with a 1% gain. checking in on our markets, where we start the day, gains, not huge swings there for us by the close, but the dow jones up

hill and coming in from las gatos to the valley here. if you're driving on highway 17, i'm always curious because occasionally i get an e-mail, especially from this one guy who's always complaining about highway 17. so if you're a highway 17 driver, drop me an e-mail through ktvu.com. let me know if it's gotten worse or gotten better because i'm always interested. let's move along and take a look at 237. this commute traffic is -- this is another freeway, 237 gets people all riled up when it gets slow. right now it's not slow right now as you drive over to 101, looks pretty good. and this morning's drive in marin county starting off well between navado and san rafael and across the bay. richmond, panolo that traffic looks good. driving to hayward, union city or freemont, interstate 880 is off to a nice start. 5:49. let's go to steve. >> thank you, sal. we have some cool readings here this morning. so far all i've found in the north bay, i'll dig a little

deeper here, but 46 to 49 on some of the lows. another cool morning. still some fog on the coast. it's not as widespread as it was a couple days ago, but it's still there. it's not getting wiped out yet. it should. there are signs of a much less of a sea breeze today, so inland temps will warm up. napa airport gone from 48 to 50 back to 48. santa rosa at 50, but there are a lot of 48s, 49s not far away from the sonoma county airport. san rafael at 52. so we do have some cool readings, including downtown oakland at 53, san jose 55. but there's simply hardly any sea breeze at all. yes, that points to warmer. some of the higher elevations, though, are really not warming up yet. i'm expecting that to happen, though. so that should all equal a warmer pattern, mainly for inland temps. i think the coast will take another day as this whole system begins to topple over. we'll see high pressure build into the pacific northwest and that usually is what happens in september, and sure enough,

right on keu, it looks like it's coming in. 60s to 90s, santa rosa 85, we'll go 80 vallejo. pittsburgh low 90s, concord close, berkeley 72. 77 san leandro. 84 san jose. low 90s morgan hill to gilroy. morgan hill yesterday was 82, so that's an eight-degree jumpup. 83 in santa clara, same for sunnyvale. low- to mid-80s on the peninsula. san mateo 78 along with burlinggame. san bruno at 74. we'll go 68 in the city after another mid-60 yesterday. it does look a little warmer today, but there's still a lot of fog hanging around. warmer on friday, then with your weekend always in view, the long weekend i might add, warm on saturday, cooler sunday, monday. >> we will be here on monday, though. a few minutes ago, the labor department released the newest unemployment numbers, 409,000 people filed for first-

week. they say one of the ducks was shot multiple times and died from its injuries. >> this is for me an example of human power of abuse when you abuse an animal and it's something that has to stop. >> now, the wildlife rescue of monterey is going to try to capture the ducks to treat them. they say a blow gun is illegal in california and harming ducks violates the mi gratory bird treaty act. a $5,000 reward is now being offered for information about this crime. time now 5:55. today the city of san jose is launching a 60-day amnesty program for people with unlicensed pets. during that time dogs and cats can be licensed with no citations, no late fees or penalties for missing vaccines. and everyone who renews or buys a license, they'll be added into a lottery to win cash prizes. all san jose residents are required now to license their dogs and cats. just imagine you're digging in your garden and instead of

picking broccoli you find more than $150,000. that happened to a man in illinois. that man right there. he says he went to his garden for some vegetables when he spotted several bags on his lawn. first he thought it was trash, but then he looked inside and saw cash. >> did you think for a minute i could keep this and nobody would ever know? >> i thought that, but who knows who's coming to get it. somebody's going to come back when you leave that much money in your back yard, so i didn't want to have nothing to do with it. for my luck it could be a bank robbery. >> he turned the mope over to the local county sheriff's department. authorities there are still waiting to see if somebody comes forward and claims the money. >> interesting. coming up on 6:00. let's go back over to sal to check in on any trouble spots before you head out the door if you need to. reporter: good morning. yeah. we still have a look at the south bay, of course, we're looking at that freeway, 280 northbound getting up to 880 and it looks pretty good driving up to highway 17.
