Im at the north side off the Golden Gate Bridge. And its been a light rain but steady over the last several hours and this is the front thats moving from the north bay south. So everywhere if you are heading out this morning, you are going to be using the windshield wipers. Luckily, traffic is moving pretty smoothly here at the Golden Gate Bridge. We shouldnt see any flash flooding or even any real localized flooding but, of course, well have puddles and ponding on the roads. Take it slow. I was shocked driving down union city earlier this week in the middle of the morning commute how fast people were going. This is the end of the rainy season getting toward the end so the best thing to do is just enjoy it for what its worth. Well keep our eye on the rock and roll Half Marathon.
