Its going to be dangerous through the morning hours. We have some around Half Moon Bay and some sneaking up from gilroy towards, say, san jose, eventually, in morgan hill. Here is a look for our exploratorium camera. Clouds are definitely lower this morning. Temperatures 55 to 62 at 7 00, 82 inlandment it will warm up quickly. Notice it doesnt get exceptionally hot like it did over the weekend. 77 around the bay, 68 the coast. Back into the 70s away from the coast. High clouds and sunshine all day today. We have reports of a disabled vehicle at the bay bridge toll plaza blocking either lane eight or nine. Sounds like theyre not able to move that on their own. That is westbound 80 just as you approach those metering lights. Not seeing anything really obvious on camera other than a stack up forming in the cash lanes on either side.
