Ill just call it light showers because that. Cool air mass thats in place. Its got a lot of moisture held in it. Its going to just dont think that across the bay right now and not your typical fashion with rainfall. Just a whole lot of clouds and making a very damp situation out there at the start, you can see outside of the east bay hills, not a lot of visibility. Thats because of that. Blanket of cloud cover. Thats just rush right in. Got to give dual cold front that swept in yesterday. And now again this morning, some credit here, even though were just seeing a lot of that moisture detected in northern california, lot of clouds have drifted into the bay area and weve seen around a 10th of an inch, if not more of accumulated precipitation on some of our mountain sides right here in the bay area. So its been really spread out in the form of sprinkles and missed here. And there. But it had a lot of moisture content. The northern coast is where its really been coming down, as you can see on satellite and radar, not a lot of moisture detected here locally. But you know, you weve got it looking outside this morning. You can see just how wet roadways are 50s and 60s for current temperatures. Pacific as well as petaluma nevado in the upper 50s.

Still to come rain. All right, john, thank you for that. Weve got a few things going on out there on your morning commute here. Bridge. No major issues, though, looking good. 11 minute drive there. Mateo bridge or at around 12 minutes, a 80 to 101, golden gate bridge. 18 minutes there. Unfortunately, if you are going to be traveling along highway 24 this morning, there is an accident and a wilder wrote in a renda drive times about 35 minutes along a creek down to 5. 80. Lets talk about developing news because 3 westbound lanes on the richmond, sandra fell bridge are now back open after a big rig crashed into the toll plaza last night. Crash happened shortly before 10. It shut down all westbound lanes of the bridge at that time. This is a live look at the bridge. You can see traffic is just a little sluggish there. Chp says a semi truck crashed into a toll booth and that truck could that tollbooth actually caught on fire . Chp says one person unfortunately died and that the truck only had one person inside of it. They say crews had to remove its engine. As you can see, still working to get cleared up this morning. All right. Now onto breaking election news for your local election headquarters. And the breaking news this morning comes to us in the race for California Senate seat in the u. S. Senate. Former Major League Baseball star republican steve garvey has formally declared his candidacy for california up for grabs in 2024. And within the last few minutes, garvey made official that he is running. Hes known as one of the alltime greats to play Major League Baseball with the los angeles dodgers. And then later with the San Diego Padres, hes a 10 time mlb allstar 1974, national league, most valuable player in 1981 world series champion. And hes a republican running in california for a seat that hasnt been held by republicans since 1992. He joins as we know an already crowded race featuring major democratic candidates. You see on your screen, we have congressman adam schiff of burbank or okay. Porter of irvine and barbara lee of oakland, all 3 already announcing their bid to fill the seat for senator Dianne Feinstein. So well see what happens if his name recognition moves the needle in the republicans direction. Certainly. Happening tonight, the glen school board will meet to discuss repeal that ban on display the pride flag at school. Yeah. This has been a heated topic at previous meetings. Kron fours will tran following the story for us live from this morning. Will. James, the ban is less than one month old. But right now there is a board member hoping to repeal that band which says only the American Flag and the california state flag can fly in front of the school. Now for years they were allowed to fly the pride flag, not a problem. According to the superintendent, then all of a sudden over the summertime conservative group, they say caught wind of this and it built up momentum to the point where on september 12th 2 Board Members voted to act that ban. Saying only the american and the california flag can fly here moving forward, but it looks like that might last too long because at 05 30am, tonight, the school board, they will be meeting to see if they can possibly repeal that ban. Now, this was so so hot, james reyna that during that meeting on the night they were theyre going to take that vote that the Alameda County sheriffs department, the deputies had to be called in to remove people from the room just so the school Board Members could vote in peace. And then the next day there were rallies in front of the school, which i was here that day. The superintendent came out and she said that she is against the band that the flag has been here for many years without any problems. But even though she was against she was going to enact whatever the school Board Members want. And all of a sudden, 7 days later, a couple of school Board Members, one in 2 revealed her performance at the school and that was very controversial. In the end, she still has her job. Now this flag ban has caught the attention of an Alameda County group. Take a look at your screen. They were against the ban in the first place and they we have been out here for the past couple of weeks. This is what they had to say. They say glen school board has lost their way. Their objective is unmistakable. The aim to reduce support for the lgbtq students, staff and families. And that comes from the Castro Valley pride group. Again, based at Alameda County, they plan to protest before 5. 30, meeting tonight about the Board Members. And theyre hoping that the ban is lifted but the pride flag once again comes back to the school. I can tell you the one board member who is introducing this resolution in hopes that repealing the ban, they claim by not allowing the pride flag to fly at the school is stepping on their First Amendment rights to freedom of speech. Back to you. All right. Thank you very much. Well. Well, a man is in custody after standoff with police at a San Francisco bank.

Well, as the conflict unfolds there in the middle east, the war can, as we know, affect the cost of gas, that we got a chance to talk to some experts on how the fighting in israel th y raise prices at the pump. May have Kristin Vartan with that story. Oil prices do fluctuate a every day. They have been trending downward. So this the spike was very much noticeable in overnight spike in crude oil. Happening after hamas launched a surprise attack on israel as uc davis is mark agger points out. This is the main input into gasoline. Neither israel nor your cars are major producers of oil. So its not like. This. This really this conflict right now is directly impacting oil prices. But really . This is people being worried about possible impact. Worried agger 10 in Sacramento States Hanna Gabriel say about the potential of future geopolitical conflicts. There is any potential iranian involvement, which we dont we dont know at this point as they are also another oil producer, Oil Producing countries, as as of right now are not involved. But the fear that they could be can drive prices. Egerton says this could impact an already tight crude oil market. From high demand in the organization of Petroleum Exporting countries, cutting supplies to the market. Saudi arabia. Russia, which is part of the opec plus group. And so supplies are already fairly tight. Oil prices were pretty high, which is big. Gasoline prices are pretty high. So this is just one additional piece of potential instability in the market. But how likely is that to take a toll on your gas tank in california . We have things like state taxes. California, local laws, environmental laws and fees and things like that. And those also impact the price at the pump. So the price of crude oil is only about half the price of a gallon of gas. Then theres one more factor to consider side from the humanitarian crisis. Im seeing this seasonal decline in gas prices is also very normal at this time of year. So that impact might actually dominate any any mild increase from from crude oil in sacramento well, governor gavin newsom has now signed a bill that outlaws hidden junk fees in california.
