. as the ebola virus spreads in the u.s., you details about a patient this morning. >> and what drivers need to know this morning. >> and we'll talk about effects in the surrounding area. i'm looking at the build as you're approaching the bay bridge. >> and that heat will build today, coming on rather strong. a sizzling october afternoon, even hotter for tomorrow into saturday. good news, we'll cool you off just in time for the weekend and we're still tracking a chance for rain. >> and no heat just yet this morning as we take a live look outside a darkened san jose getting ready for this thursday morning. it is october the 2nd and you are watching "today in the bay." and a very good morning to you. thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> and i'm sam brock.

we have breaking nuews this morning. police in santa clara are at the home of a home invasion that ended up in a stabbing. lucetto, we understand it's still an active scene out there. >> that's right. it was definitely a scary situation for a homeowner here in the 3100 block of cabro area in santa clara while he was stabbed while confronting a burglary suspect at 3:00 this morning police say it's an unusual crime because the victim was injured. they believe the burglar made his way in the home through an open window and was then confronted by the homeowner's wife downstairs. that's when her husband woke up.

when police arrived, they found the suspect hiding around the corner and arrested him. at this time they have two area blocked off while they continue their investigation. they're not shuch how much longer they'll be out here. the police tell me that he is in stable season. >> scary scene for that homeowner. thank you very much, lucetto. >> also, construction crews are up making sure all the work is done on one of america's busiest freeways, right by valley fair. today bob redell is live near stevens creek boulevard. >> reporter: good morning, laura. life should be a lot easier

thanks to new ramps that just opened within the past hour or so here. you're looking at one of the ramps right there. that is stevens creek to southbound 880, 280. you can see it's got signals, another ramp that opened up this morning. and tomorrow they'll have northbound 280-880 to stevens creek with new signals. if you haven't been through this area before, you know during a commute and especially during a shopping season when people are trying to get to valley fair and santana row how hellacious traffic can be here. the valley transportation authority says that drivers should see much improvement. >> well, it's more about removing the weeding and competitive movements people were having here. now we're going to have widened roadways, better, realigned

ramps. it's more about easing the weaving and congestion that was here there lab new off ramp dedicated to feeding drivers directly on to monroe, which would get you to valley fair much quicker, instead of having to use stevens creek. by early next year, the plan is to have a new flyover to northbound 880. that's being the whole crux of this project. >> it's in san jose there. hopefully we're not going to have trouble getting around it. do you think it's as laura said,

most folks will come up on the on-ramp and realize, whoa, it's a little bit of a change. folks pass big will notice a change to the construction crews being out there the next couple of nights. that lab little bit of a slowdown and distraction. right now in the short term, we're watching for folks trying to adjust and diverting their attention, i should say, from the roadway, watch the folks stay steady through the area. the boulevard will be the concern, getting on to the freeway wouldn't improve latin fews both santana 6/.

>> just know we'll show you how big traffic is coming up in the area. i'm mike inouye. sam, back to you. >> a dallas hospital under fire for apparently allowing a man showing symptoms of the ebola virus to leave. and now word of another possible case that has a patient in isolation. some unnerving developments this morning. what do we know about the ebola virus and its potential for spreading into new patients? >> i think unnerving is a good word here. plenty of iris mcdonald, threwing -- five children may be at risk for eblah. thomas duncan, a liberian

native, went to the hospital with symptoms and he was sent home with a prescription in hand. ebola is contagious when symptoms appear so that is another big concern. last night texas health officials hand delivered orders to four of duncan's close family members to stay home, not have any visitors effective for two and a half weeks, the incubation period after which the family is not as risk of having the disease. >> the whole nation wants to see him succeed and get well so i think our prayers, they are

stressing this is out of extreme cautious. any further ebola testing would have to be sent here to the mainland for analysis. >> now, symptoms of ebola include sudden fever, fatigue and headache. those are very similar to the flu flue. there's concern about can people confuse the two? they they ebola gets. >> and precautionary measure so key at this point right now, stephanie. thank you for that report. >> and take a little caution if you're sensitive to the sun. break out the sunscreen. awaiting the sun's arrival but when it does, things are certainly going to heat up. >> we might be breaking

temperatures we isn't seen in maybe a year or two, christina? >> yeah. it is going to get hot around here. even if you're to the somebody who is sensitive, you still want on the spf 30 plus. yup, everybody has the chance to burn after 15, 20 minutes. you do want to keep that in mind. if you have a loved one who works outdoors, maybe you grab an extra water bottle and say, hey, maybe you want to take this today. but temperatures are kind of all over the place. you might be wondering why is it 52 degrees, 47 in santa rosa. meanwhile down the road in san francisco you're starting out at 62 degrees. yesterday i told you all the pavement and concrete in san francisco absorbs the sunlight

as we go throughout the day and it radiates back out that heat. that's the hot spot in san francisco, the biggest city in the bay area when it comes to all that concrete being compact in such a little, tiny area. for today temperatures are going to be hot as high pressure is firmly in control of our pattern. there's some really cool satellite imagery. i don't get this very often where it's so clear that you can see what's going on just via the clouds and what they're doing so you see these clouds up and around that big, strong ridge of high pressure. this is going to keep all of the storms out of the bay area. it and and we have increased fire danger as well. everybody on the best of their

behavior. no cigarette butts out the window, no bus about it. >> a warning for folks, shaking a finger at them. on the bay bridge, folks are moving along nicely, behaving themselves and we're looking at the metering lights on. to the regulars, they know that's a bonus if you do have that transponder. we're talking about traffic flow around the bay and nothing really unusual. we are talking about a smooth flow traffic, the history -- on the san mateo bridge, no problem. an no brake, no fog for us.

we could use some of that cooling but christina said we don't get that. 280 a very beautiful drive once that sun comes up. voted one of the most beautiful highways in california. i think it was an independent group, 2-1 for tourism. >> one-on-one, i'm not sure. that's purely functional. >> it's 6:12 right now. an update on breaking news. a man stabbed in his own overnight. details in a violent break-in in a normally quiet neighborhood. >> and now the family of jahi want her death certificate reversed.

since 2012. now, with that said, we're still keeping in a chance for rain in your forecast. hold on tight, we've got a roller coaster weather ride to go on. i'll take you through the details in your microclimate in just moments. >> and that commute can sometimes be a roller coaster. right now we're kind of coasting and i mean that by nothing unexpected. we have your slow drives. and there is one adjustment i have to warn you about in the south bay. it's for the good but it might cause a problem this morning. >> mike, one of our top stories, major changes coming to one of the south bay's busiest freeways that could impact the upcoming holiday season. they have reopened ramps on and off near valley fair shopping

i wasn't really looking for traffic incidents, i was looking for fog and relief from the sun christina said is coming. we have to trust her. she is the meteorologist. trust me. there's backup at the bay bridge tolls, the fast track, look at that still moving very nicely. this being a thursday, we see a lot of volume on our maps, a we come into the area. no delays and just a little slowing through berkeley, no problems out of the maze itself. it's just at the toll plaza and a smooth drive towards san francisco. the build is on for oakland as you are heading up toward that bay bridge and tri-valley also moving in here. 680 through pleasanton, also 880 south toward the dunnbarton bridge. the south bay, no problems. 101 shows the traditional build

patients to doctors, staff and visitors. >> we took all the dupris cautions necessary to make sure that if this was, that nobody else was going to get sick. >> symptoms include sudden fever, fatigue and headache and after exposure to blood or other bodily fluids like needles, you can still go it's going to be at least another few days before we learn whether there's been a second case diagnosed here in the united states. again, officials advising they're just being very cautious. >> it is 6:38 on your thursday morning as we check your microclimate forecast and take a

peek downtown as beautiful san francisco. absolutely gorgeous on a day where it's starting to heat up and the the jig is up, my friend, as you like to say, i'm going to show you the current temperatures right now and i just want to get your mind going this morning. thank you, our wonderful director. think about this for a moment. what do i have to do outdoors today? grocery shopping, maybe a trip to the post office, yard work? it's going to be a lot more comfortable now than where we're headed. it's not going to feel like fall. we're going to bypass averages that we see in the summertime for today. we could be talking about the hottest air in the bay area as we get into tomorrow.

that's the best way i can preface today for you. we really got into the hot stuff. a heat advisory has been issued f fom. we have a dry air mass overhead. it's really, really dry out there. so he's not going to be sweating as much as if we had the humidity. drink a lot of water for today. don't forget the sunscreen either. here's the reason for the warmup. high pressure firmly in control. you can see the winds downsloping. also, this what's drying us out. because it's going to be so dry, we're talking about higher fire danger for the next couple days. but just as quickly as we warm you up, your temperatures are going to drop right back off. so this might be your last hurrah to get out to the beach and talk about some cool waves, all courtesy of offshore flow. you have the wind blowing out toward the wave, the offshore wind hollows out the barrel and

they will the nice and clean. even santa cruz tomorrow, close to 90 degree, 88 degrees. you're still in the 60s in the water. as we head to the weekend, temperatures start to ease and that heat breaks and next week as quickly as those numbers crept up, they start to fall, 96 saturday, 92 for sunday, the cooling trend continues into tuesday and could be talking about drizzle and shower activity by the end of next week. so hold on tight, it's going to be kind of a wild drive. >> it's not wild christina, but there are some issues there. look at how widely spaced these cars are. that's an easy drive. a smooth flow when you get over to treasure island.

it krs the san mateo bridge, a look at the foster cityside. let's show you the hayward side. we had results of that stalled vehicles across that flat section. now, that might be the ripple, as things cleared over there closest to the high rise, they may have just rippled back to the hayward side. no more incident reported on 92. that's better maps. and the dunn barton bridge to the soet -- south 680 on pleasanton. no problems on the peninsula. nkd 87 and 101 are your worst

commutes right now but 85 and 280 now kicking in. there's a concert over here. sir elton john is playing tonight. you'll have a lot of traffic for dinner and the concert. over here, we have construction with changes. this long-term project we know about but the latest changes, my own tiny dancer bob redell is out there. tell us exactly what the changes are this morning. >> reporter: good morning. anybody who commutes through the 280 stevens creek interchange knows how bad the traffic can be, especially during thanksgiving, christmas shopping but this morning the valley transportation authority opened up two new ramps designed to make life easier for drivers, stevens creek boulevard, second 280, tomorrow a third ramp, all

have signals to regulate the flow of traffic. >> it's more about removing the weaving and competitive movements happening here. a lot of people are trying to compete for a very small part of the roadway. now we'll have better roadways and realigned ramps. people are just going to have a safer, better flow of traffic. >> this is part of a 6 -- $62 million project that started at thanksgiving. they plan to open an offramp to get you to the back side of valley fair and the big crux of the project will be completed next year, a new flyover northbound 280 to northbound 880. that's supposed to be completed

early 2015. but for now, two new ramps connecting inner creek to 280. it's hard to see if we've seen a tremendous increase heading in the westbound direction there. >> they're trying to improve the situation this bu they can't clear the roadways. tomorrow a bigger concern north 280 getting off there at stevens creek. that is an off ramp that changes so far the area will just see the disrupted flow and a plan for folks to change lanes and be distracted as they're approaching 280 to 880. >> police in santa clara on the scene of a home invasion that ended with a stabbing. lucetto benitez is live at the scene. what have police told you about

what happened with this incident? >> reporter: good morning. police say there were several people inside the home when the incident happened, so definitely a scary situation for the homeowner who was stabbed after confronting a burglary suspect at as at 3:00 in the morning. investigators are still on scene with the crime scene unit, they're working to collect evidence. it was an unusual crime because the victim was injured. they believe the burglar made his way through an open window and was then confronted by a woman downstairs. that's when the woman confronted the suspect. the suspect then fled the home and when police arrived on scene, they found the suspect hiding around the corner and arrested him.

so they do have two areas blocked off while they continue their investigation. they're not sure how much longer they remain on scene. police tell us the victim is in his 50s and is in stable condition in the hospital. >> we hope that victim will be okay. thank you very much, lucetto. >> it's 6:57. a public memorial service will be held for the late former san jose police chief joseph mcnamara. he served at the hoover institute most recently and died at his home last month. >> four teens have been arrested for killing nearly 1,000 chickens. abe guttiero and two others are accused of beating 900 chickens to death with a golf club.

the farm said the chickens were worth about $5,000. >> and a person is being kept in honolulu in isolation while they monitor the person for ebola. they say the symptoms are not consistent with ebola but they're taking extra precautionary measures. >> we get a look at the san mateo bridge. a better flow of traffic. we're talking about 92 where the arrow is. we're also talking about the earlier stall related to highway 84. the dunnbar bridge has cleared of that as well. and a slow drive toward fremont. meanwhile, the rest of your bay nothing really unexpected except for the south bay, we do have a good slowdown northbound 280 by

880. >> some confusion there. none on what's going on on the weather front. >> no, it's going to be hot, t h-o h-o-t. as we get into next week, it will not be as hot. >> we showed you this video last month. the mighty mites couldn't manage to break through their banner. jimmy fallon gave them another shot last night. >> ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the mighty mites! >> as can you see, jimmy invited the team's cheerleaders along as

well. in return, they gave jimmy his own jersey. >> thank you for joining us this morning. we'll be back without confetti in 25 minutes. > buenos días. around that dallas hospital that released a man who was eventually diagnosed with ebola, how did they ignore the warning signs? we have exclusive interview with the patient's nephew as 80 people came in contact with his uncle. secret disservice? is the agency charged with pr protecting the president in need of a massive overhaul? the day the embattled leader steps down, a former special agent steps in. in court, the suspect in the
