Well be at 45 degrees through 7 00 and it warms up quickly. We go up to 75 at 1 00 and eventually into the upper 70s today. A few low 80s on the map so well talk about whats ahead as we go throughout the week coming up. Mike, you have a new crash in the south bay . Thats right. Towards the santa cruz mountains. Were looking at south 17 with a new crashed car and theres only two lanes that travel through the area and its currently blocked. Well track that and the effect on the commute. There are other issues scattered around the bay, not a major concern for most of them but this disabled vehicle has replaced the earlier crash approaching first and spring town.

Wish we had a second transbay tube. We just told you, the transbay tube is now open. We go to the west oakland b. A. R. T. Station. And the traffic is backed up now. A lot of delays because of this stoppage earlier. Reporter talk about horrible timing, right at the start of the evening commute. As you mentioned, were live outside of the west oakland b. A. R. T.

Jason from oakland. Walk me through it. You were on the train and what did you hear . Zb i was the last guy on the train, were packed in. Were going to hold the train for a minute. Everyones, okay. A couple minutes go by and they say, theres smoke in the tunnel. Were going to be probably turning this train around. And since i was the last person on the train, i was the first person off. I figured out how to get here another way. Reporter

Some of the water being picked up by helicopters in nearby lexington reservoir and then dropped over the hills and over the brush in red wood estates.
