I saw a similar tweet, i think we might have the same friend, gasia mikaelian, that traffic is back. The tunnel yesterday was a problem, and we also had some slowing approaching the bay bridge. Eastbound, last evening and we also had some slowing on 80 south, and this morning we have slowing going into San Francisco.

We are not back to prepandemic levels, but we are seeing more and more everyday. This is a look at interstate 880. If this were a normal commute, we would have some slowing on the right.

He is touched by the heartfelt response he has received after an incident that went viral last week. In a video, which has been viewed millions of times, saying he was defacing private party. He said he lived there, but they did not believe it was his home and called the police. Now the area is full of messages of love and peace. It connects with my heart, San Francisco was always celebrating inclusion. When you observe racism, overt or polite, which is ubiquitous and insidious, dont let it go. Do not be silent.

Yeah, we are beginning in the east bay, although it is not quite prepandemic levels here on the richmond bridge. We are going to start their on the approach, and we have heard about traffic being backed up, it is definitely more than there was in march, right when the shelter in place orders went into place. There was a lot less traffic, and now there is just a little more here and there, especially at the bay bridge, you can see there is a slow traffic here that has become a normal thing.

Two weeks ago, he said all counts City Council Members said it was necessary to have the police chief report on use of force in the department. That response led to a petition going for the mayors recall. That mayor will resign at the end of the month. The republican plan, called the justice act, calls for banning choke holds more police training, and a database for tracking police use of force. South carolina senator, tim scott, is leading the republican effort. We believe that our policy positions are one that brings the community to a position of stronger understanding and confidence in the institutions of authority. The republican plan is similar to legislation by house democrats, but it does not include their call to strip the qualified immunity from Police Officers. That is something that protects officers from lawsuits against their actions out in the field.

An incident went viral last week in the video, which has now been me viewed millions of times. He told them he lives there, but they did not believe it was his home and called police. Now there are messages full of love and peace. It connects with my heart, because San Francisco has always celebrated diversity and inclusion and points of view.

Sal, you have detected a huge change from just a couple weeks ago. That is true, gasia, and mike. Good morning, welcome back, mike, by the way, and yes. We have seen more traffic on the roads, although we have not seen a return to peter pandemic levels. Here is the perfect example is where it is not as slow as it used to be, and that would be 80 north. Usually this time, going toward downtown oakland, would be stop and go. It hasnt quite reached that you, however we did have some stop and go traffic earlier at the bay bridge, that has become a little more slow since march area, we did not have much traffic, and it usually picks up by a 30. There have been no major issues here on highway 24. This commute still remains a little bit better than it normally is. However sometimes in the afternoon there is some slow traffic, and you know it does happen, is we go to Steve Paulson at 8 19. You know what happens is the second there is a crash and all of a sudden we get a lot of slow traffic, and that was not happening in march, even when there were crashes, now when there is a crash, there is slow traffic. That is a good point to bring up here it so yes, people are starting to come back. Good to know. Temperatures today are ramping up, we are already 70s for some.

We are going to the 80s and 90s, some areas will jump up today because of that northerly breeze. Upper 80s and maybe mid 90s with that northwind through most of the day. That will likely be into tomorrow. I think some fog is coming back on friday, saturday, water temperatures are very cold there is a bit of a west wind t coming up, the end of aunt jemima.

Take your pick, anyone, marin county, east bay hills, mt. Diablo, santa rosa, napa airport, fairfield, north 17 gusts. Vacaville and napa are 71, that did not take long. And brentwood is probably there by now, they are probably close. That is a whopper of a system for june, but temperatures are going above and beyond with the average for this time of year. Over to sal now, and sometimes things are quieting down at this hour. We are quieting down, im looking at all pictures here, and definitely the pattern is by a 30 or so, it is exactly 8 32, this is highway 24, and traffic is moving along okay. If you are driving out towards the tunnel, there have been no major issues. Also, looking at the bay bridge, you can see traffic here is just a little bit slow with not a lot of slowing, once you get onto the span. Also 880 traffic, that looks pretty good. 8 32, lets go back to the headlines. On top of a developing story here, four people are dead after the suv they were in dropped off an elevated section of 880 just before the carquinez bridge.

The legislature, saying the statue is out of place. The columbus statue has stood on the capitol since 1883.

That 75 at livermore, you may not see that again for a while. Davis, north about 30, vacaville they are in the upper 60s, 70s. Northwest Half Moon Bay, north at san jose, not that stronger, but there is also a northwind near appa. It would seem there are some mid 60s out at solano creek. It is warmer than pittsburg, so there is your northerly blease breeze. So the water temps are really cold. We had that northwest wind picking up all the way down to monterey. So the fog is not far away when the water temperatures are that cold. The inland temperatures will be warm at least it today and tomorrow. I think friday and saturday a couple forecast models are showing a return of the fog.
