If youre commuting, say, from highway 4, trying to get to the eastshore freeway from hercules, youre going to be okay through that portion.

I think what is important now is that we see the same kind of things happening again, where people who are muslim or people at the southern border.

A struggle as you work your way westbound. Were seeing some backup well beyond richmond at this point. So is very slow ride as you work your way through there. It is getting pretty tough to utilize alternate as well. The berkeley, it is getting really bogged down san pablo avenue right now, seems to be your best bet overall. We are starting to see some red on our sensors here. That frontage road along the eastshore way, ifyo typically use this area, you know exactly what im talking about. That is really bogged down. You cant even really utilize that this morning, definitely give yourself some extra time. B. A. R. T. Is a really good way to commute into San Francisco as well. You can see on our maps here, traffic backed up. At this point, if youre commuting through the eastshore freeway, say out of antioch, highway 4, coming off of 680 there, definitely want to use 680 anyway. But a much better choice getting over to 24 and that will take you to the bay bridge. Mays, oakland area, where your commute takes you this morning. Heres a live look at the back up on the eastshore freeway. Very slow. As well into the it richmond area. Very tough ride as you get through there. 41 minute is your drive time. So definitely pack your patience this morning. B. A. R. T. Is on time. No delays. So public transit, a good choice this morning. What it is doing to the bay bridge, though, heres a live look. No metering lights. If youre coming from oakland to the bay bridge, you are dealing with some nice conditions because all that traffic is being held off that eastshore freeway because of that accident. We are still seeing brake lights in our other spots through Altamont Pass and 101, near sister jeff is. Heres mary. Well, we are looking at cloudy to mostly cloudy skies. Definitely not as foggy as yesterday morning. You will definitely notice that difference. We are looking at temps in the 40s and in the 50s. So 54 in concord, oakland, youre coming in at 50. San francisco, upper 40s for you in san jose. Low 40s for santa rosa. Heres what you can expect. We will see thats on. We will see that mild above average daytime highs. Not as warm as yesterday but still above average. So low 60s for the coast. Low to mid 60s for the bay and mid to upper 60s inland this afternoon. Pinpointing San Francisco as we head through our date with that sunshine, by noon, upper 50s and by 2 00 pm, 3 00 pm, 62 for a high for you in oakland. Good morning to you. By noon, 52 and then warming up to 65 the afternoon. 4 00 pm. San jose, youll see highs topping out in the noontime hour comments from our mid60s and eventually upper 70s 4 00 pm. So that ridge of High Pressure in control, bringing sunshine and mild daytime highs. As we head through our afternoon, we can see all of that said on futurecast as we head through tomorrow. Very similar and that will be the case over the next several days. We have a couple of weather systems that burger king up in the pacific at this point. It does not look promising at all. It has been an incredibly dry february for 0 for our rainfall and in downtown San Francisco, that ties the alltime record for the driest february ever recorded. Shortly set back in 1864. So we do need the rain. Our sunrise at 6 56 and inner sunset at 5 51. Daytime highs for today, looking at 60 in cupertino. 69 in campbell. Also for morgan hill, for the east bay we go, 66 in concord. Thank you seven in pleasant hill. 68 in danville. Livermore, 68 for fairfield. Downtown there. Looking at 62 in San Francisco. 63, berkeley. City five in oakland. 67 for petaluma. Topping out at 67 for cloverdale and for windsor. So we are going to keep this pattern going. Of those chilly, cool mornings and then sunny and mild afternoons. Wednesday, thursday, a few more clouds on friday. One whether model brings a few sprinkles. And another one keeps us dry on friday. Looking at times cooling down, especially by the end of the week and into early next week. Time now is 5 51. A daredevil shocks to wrists. Why his high wire walk did not go exactly as planned.

It is no blocking all but one lane. Only that right lane is open, and it is causing a major backup for that commute on 80 this morning. It happened at about 4 30 five this morning. Just over an hour ago. They have called temperatures out to the scene. They say they should be arriving within the next couple of minutes. You want to avoid 80 if you cant this morning, using alternate. San pablo avenue is your best alternate at this point. I will say this. Im starting to see some pretty decent backup there. Where starting to see some delays on san pablo avenue. So definitely pack your patience this morning as you use the eastshore freeway. You can use a six. That is pretty busy as well. B. A. R. T.

Your drive times about 45 minutes from hercules over to the bay bridge. A daredevil just completed a heartstopping extent. You, he did a 200 foot long skywalk between two Hawaiian Hotel towers.
