Smoke pushed back into the bay area. Now the latest on a Traffic Alert on 880. Yeah, its a couple of rs tangled up here and traffic is still slow. They had all lanes blocked though northbound 880 right at da toe that. The good news is theyve opened upmost of them. They are though keeping at least one or two of these slow lanes the right lanes closed until they completely clear everything off the roadway. Looks like there may be some debris in the road as well. So caltrans crews are also on scene. So a bit of a slow ride working your way along 880 for the early start to your ride. If you are headed there, just a headsup. Expect the brake lights out of fremont and gets a little bit better as you go to more in the union city area. If you are headed towards 680 or 238 you can use that, those are free flowing both directions. Westbound 580, a busy ride already out of the Altamont Pass. Were seeing our slowest spot right around Mountain House. From 2035 and it stays slow to north flynn. Anne
The bipartisan poster board of governors engaged the professional search firm that identified him as an outstanding candidate with the necessary background and skill set to tackle the enormous challenges facing the postal system. The bipartisan governors unanimously approved his appointment as postmaster general. Mr. Dejoy reports to the board, not the president.

Rather than being down, the Postal Service revenue is actually 1. 5 billion higher this year than during the same period last year. The postal system would have funded its longterm and entire healthcare liabilities as they were incurred. Because they didnt, those unfunded liabilities now total 120 billion. Unfortunately, the 2006 p

Bazaar, surreal, ominous, how would you describe it . This day was different. Good evening, im julie haener. It was crazy, julie. Im frank somerville. Just when you thought 2020 might run out of surprises we are created with one of the most bizarre days in memory. Im 62, grew up in the bay area and never seen anything like it. Headlights on noontime, ash falling from the sky and body clocks wrist disrupted. For some, a sense of being completely out of sync. The dark sky during the daytime had folks grabbing their cameras. Ktvu was flooded with pictures from our viewers. Photographer kevin shane sent this picture from the embarcadero in San Francisco. And john warren sent this this picture from the Golden Gate National conservancy. It was taken on alcatraz island. You can see there is San Francisco completely disappearing in the background. And karen keller sent us this picture from hillsboro with trees creating silhouettes against the backdrop. We have Team Coverage tonight. Our chief
Nice to get started. This morning we will consider the president s budget request for the u. S. Forest service for fy 2021.

But ultimately, it is up to us to determine what programs to fund and what levels. Although this years budget request is far from perfect, i agree that the priority must be on Wildland Fire Management and improving the health of our forests. Im encouraged that the administration is proposing to invest significantly in hazardous fuel reduction and other active Forest Management activities. We know such investments pay dividends in reducing the risk of severe wildfire. Hopefully we will see this important work planned
