When will the program end . Reporter late last year the central bank believed the recovery was really taking hold and they could justify winding down the purchases. Theyve been doing that. When they conclude the two day policy meeting tomorrow probably get the second to last cut. And were looking at a conclusion of this program for good at the october meeting. That would be a nice sort of six year reminder that that financial crisis is behind us. And then whats next for the fed now . Reporter well, now they go back to the old mundane tool.

A new law goes into effect today requiring a three foot buffer zone between your car and the bikes. Drivers are allowed to pass cyclists at a closer distance as long as they slow to a very safe speed. About 5 to 10 Miles Per Hour. When youre passing a bicyclist, its important not only to give enough space so that you dont hit them but also if the cyclist hits a pothole or needs to swerve around you know, a squirrel or Something Else thats in the roadway. That three feet gives them a little bit of space to maneuver with. Our Mike Sugerman and his own way took a spin around the city to demonstrate how big that buffer zone really is. By the way fine for violating the new three foot rule start at 35 and they go into the 200 range. So mind your manners when youre out there. Mind your manners. Im telling you gianna i dont want to be on the road if Mike Sugerman is on a bike. With a stick. I dont want to be on that one. It was funny. Good job mike. All right head into the highways right now as you are out and about in the south bay we have reports of an accident northbound 101 at oakland road. It is in lanes and traffic is backing up in the area. So we are seeing some slight delays as you come through there. You can see yellow 13 minutes to go between 880 and 280. 280 though looking good. You can use that and guadalupe parkway no delays this morning. Elsewhere westbound 58 at grantline. Were still clearing the accident here over to the shoulder and traffic still backed up anyway. Coming away from 205. Slow pretty much to 680 and traffic is stop and go for most of the way through the altamonte pass. Looks like a 23 minute ride to go from the altamonte pass to 680. Checking your drive at the bay bridge. They turned the metering lights on early this morning. No reason why but some slow and go conditions as you can see on the after the cam here. Traffic traffic cam here. Traffic is backed up beyond the overpass at this point coming a little slow off of the east shore freeway as well. Checking the san mateo bridge, so far so good. This is one of the bright spots this morning. Westbound no delays as you go to the peninsula. If you are going to hayward traffic moves really nicely across the san mateo bridge there are no delays the report and the Golden Gate Bridge a nice wide coming southbound 101 out of marin county into San Francisco. Kcbs mobile 2 cruising around San Francisco this morning and no delays to report. Traffic looks pretty good through there. Heres lawrence. All right, we are looking at a very nice day ahead. Starting out with some patchy fog but not as much fog as yesterday and by the afternoon, more sunshine on the way but temperatures maybe slightly cooler. Out the door we go, weve got some clouds there now along the coastline. Some of that coming inside the bay and off the coastline, you see that swirl of clouds. Thats a storm system that could possibly bring some showers to the bay area as early as tomorrow evening and into thursday. But for today, mostly sunny skies by the afternoon. Maybe just a couple of high clouds. Then increasing clouds tomorrow with a possibility of showers by tomorrow evening and into thursday. All right, weve got our Tropical Storm system down to the south. Weve got High Pressure up to the north right now. That is going to leave us high and dry for today. Youve got this system off the coastline that could bring us some rainfall as we head in toward the middle of this week. Right now though what was a strong hurricane now a Tropical Storm system as it makes its way up right along the baja peninsula. Continues to slide on through. It is now sustained winds of 60 Miles Per Hour. So a Strong Tropical Storm system it will continue to weaken as its pushes further to the north. But its moving very very slow so theyre going to see an abundant amount of rainfall likely going to have see only flooding some places 6 the 10 inches and to 12 inches. In Northern California were going to see some completely different conditions. Shun degrees and hot and sunny in frizz know. 73 degrees in the monterey bay. This is interesting. Some patchy fog then a few high clouds today. But as we roll into tomorrow evening youll see the storm system approaches the coastline and maybe some scattered light showers there. Then into thursday morning, maybe more widely scattered light showers around the bay area. Keep your fingers crossed we can use it. All right temperatures in the 80s well inland and 70s inside bay for today. 60s out along the coastline. Your sunrise time 16 53 is 6 53 and as we look out over the next couple of days, yep, finally seeing some unsettled weather maybe the season starting a little bit early and thats fine with me. But by this weekend, it is back to summer sunshine and beautiful temperatures in the 80s maybe some 90s but hey on thursday, maybe some showers doesnt look like a whole lot. Just a few hundreds of an hundredths of an inch of rain. A smidgen. Well take it. Okay. All right. Thanks lawrence.
