And reports are saying its involving 10 cars. Now, this backup again is to highway 101 now. It was to brokaw just in our last report. But now its all the way to 101 in san jose. Now, we have chopper live for you to give you to further illustrate here what that accident is looking like. You see chp there investigating but we have major backups and its extended all the way to 101. Now, as your alternate, because you will want to avoid this area, we are suggesting you take northbound 680. Look at that. It extends further and further to highway 101 in san jose. Again, this is in milpitas. It happened about an hour ago and its been out there since the northbound 880 at highway 237 was blocking all lanes and now those two left lanes are open for traffic to move through but as you can see, traffic is not moving all the way to highway 101 in san jose. Now lets move over to hayward here. Southbound 880, this was another Traffic Alert earlier that has now been canceled because all cars are moved off the road. This is before a street. It was a fivecar crash but still, a lot of residual backup here into davis street in san leandro. 238 also backed up to 580.

Twoday total saturday and sunday combined we could see up to an inch for many locations. An inch and a third for places like santa rosa over 1. 5 possible for the northern portions of the state.

High temperatures in the meantime will be mild today on the cool side of average. Similar to yesterday we are going to get rid of that wind so it might feel watcher. Upper 50s at the coast, low 60s around the bay and low to mid 60s form the warmer spots inland. Warmer still tomorrow as we make our way towards the weekend and then of course rain for this weekend.
