Last night, the premiere of the movie expendables 3 was held on Million Dollar movie. The stars stopped to talk about their late colleague. As an individual, i think he had a lot of heart and a lot of compassion. He did a lot of things for a lot of people, publicly and privately. Other celebrities are going on twitter expressing their thoughts about Robin Williams. They say, hes gone far too soon and they feel blessed to be part of the same industry he worked in. And president obama issued a statement about Robin Williams saying he gave his immeasurable talent, freely and generously for those who needed it most from our troops to the marginalized on the streets. During his career, he acted in or provided the voices for dark acters in at least 73 movies. One of best known performance was in aladdin. Excuse me. Are you looking at me . Did you rub my lamp . Did you wake me up . Did you bring me here . And all of a sudden, you are walking out on me. I dont think so. There was also a serious side to williams.

That was canceled after one season. This picture is one of Robin Williamss last public appearances. It was at the San Francisco zoo.

Now, people who interviewed Robin Williams say he was often like a nonstop little little ride. You had know idea which way he was gonna go. And during his appearance here on mornings on 2, he showed he was one of the few people who could be more entertaining than sal doing traffic. Good morning. Traffic 101 near lucas valley road theres ewalks everywhere. Be prepared for a slight backup. Thank you. I like rosss reaction. Robin williams was interviewed by ross mcgowlen in october of 2004.

He gave back quite a bit. Im proud of this picture. Im also happy to have met him briefly. There you go. Lets move along and take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. Westbound, you can see this is about a 30minute drive into San Francisco. There are no major problems as you drive through. Also if you are driving on 280 in san jose, you can sort of tell as you look at the top right of your screen, the traffic is beginning to slow down and it could be backed up into downtown san jose before too long. So give yourself extra time although 85 is not much better. Still better than 280 and 101 at this point. At 7 18. Lets go to steve. Well, plenty going on. We do have some low clouds around. There is a south wind for parts of the peninsula. The Santa Clara Valley and there is a westerly breeze for some. Combination of the two means its cool for a few. Its also very mild for others. The tropical clouds associated with the low that we have i will get out of the way so you can see it right there yesterday, gets kicked along by that system. That takes the tropical move out of the picture unless you are up in the sierra. Things have been lighting up. Looks calmer. Theres another low dropping in. This one will carve itself out over Northern California. Just a strange pattern here for august. But i guess its our turn to be on the cool side. Dont expect any rain out of this unless you are in humboldt kowng. Higher clouds move into northern sonoma and mendocino county. A little change in the pattern. Yesterday looks to be the warmest day of the week. Santa rosa was 83. Thats exactly where they should be. Today, 74. Concord, 88. 79. Livermore hit 90. 81 today. Morgan hill, 93. Today it be it it will be 85. 61 fremont also san jose state. The Higher Elevations once the low goes in, you bring in cooler air aloft and that will translate into a cooler pattern at the surface. The breeze is making for an interesting morning. South at san jose, south at Half Moon Bay. So for some, its very mild, especially on the san mateo coast. But for others, the west wind out to the delta makes it feel cooler. 48 in tahoe. 57 in utah. 63 chicago. Came in, kansas city has only had ten days of 90degrees or higher. Average is 41. Another cool pattern. If you havent heard, historic rain in detroit. 4. 5 to 5 inches fell in 24 hours. Tremendous flooding and also throughout much of michigan. Its been a cool summer. Windy, rainy and cool. Calmer this morning. Torrential and historic rainfall in detroit. 4. 57 in detroit alone. Thats incredible. Our system here to the north will continue to keep that west wind going to the north. A lot of tropical clouds. That monsoon moisture continues into southern nevada. Fog, sun, cooler for us. Clouds to the north. Maybe a little mild on parts of the coast. Santa cruz and san mateo. But probably the marin side and also bodega will be cool. 73 kentfield. Sonoma, 77. Calistoga, at 83. Walnut creek, 78. 67 alameda. San jose, 79. 85 morgan hill to 78 in santa clara. And 76 redwood city. 66 pacifica because of the south breeze. Kind of a strange pattern.

Once that accelerates, you can see how its taking that cloud cover. You might have thundershowers up north. Actually have a front coming in. I know, in august. It will track to the north.
