We want to show you a look at that chp shut down the left side of your screen there theyre taking the cars off the road way out of fear. This shot unlike the other shots we dont see snow but theyre fearful of slick roadways. So just for everybodys safety. Theyre taking cars. Office that particular section. Im robin you go with his is no thats not i thought that was a flatbed truck there trying to remove an accident but that this looks like lights right in the center of your screen and theyre diverting that traffic they started doing this last night. And then they decided to just go ahead and close it down completely so for people traveling into and out of the bay area this is a big deal because a lot of folks whose i 5 but. You know john have been telling you about the winter storm warnings in place for San Bernardino county riverside and yeah, the snow in the all the crashes forced the closure of i 5 because of that heavy snow and the slick conditions so just a big headache. On a day where were expecting millions of people to be out there today is the worst travel day and then on top of that you close down the great fine i 5 what a mess that the turning the people are just turning right around and right around a traffic with him. That that night on how to that and right the center of your screen there doing u turns themselves and just coming back in the other direction which is seems to be free and clear in that direction thats right so thats something to think about if youre traveling checking in with meteorologist ron strampel he has more i can only imagine how frustrated, then realize theyve got to get turned around so if youre watching right now make sure youre not one of those people today of the worst travel day of the year kind of living up to that reputation you are seeing clear skies for the bay area. So were good to go its when you head south. That you are seeing that rain across the Central Valley that you that you saw just a minute ago that is just north of the great mind at the valley could see how wet roadways are as rain continues to fall there were looking at a mix of rain and snow depending on where youre talking in Southern California had the heavy rain east of san diego now that it worked its way through san diego this morning mountain passes across Southern California are affected by the snow now or snow has picked back up on the grapevine i had seen a dying down moments ago because i promise you we still had some energy working its way that direction so yes that hall that youre driving on up into the upper elevations from the Central Valley is especially slick right now even those areas that are actively seeing snow still looking at some icy conditions and to hatch a p pass crossing over the southern sierra and the kern county mountains that is also very snowy right now so really youre only good option heading down there is one oh one which we all know can take quite a long time to traverse, id recommend maybe just waiting to head down to Southern California intel tomorrow as our conditions maybe get here in the bay area they will be catching up in Southern California tomorrow just not a good one down there today. Bay area remains nice and dry today tomorrow all the way on into saturday. And its not just here in the bay either its up into the Sierra Nevada weve got some nice blue skies for your skiing this weekend up around lake tahoe.
