big line waiting for you there. it's backed up from the macarthur maze and metering lights on. no problems on the bridge itself but getting onto the bridge tough. visibility is good, though. you can

flag warning of dry conditions, low humidity and winds blowing more than 60 miles per hour. many of last year's devastating wildfires were caused by powerlines that came down and strong winds. on monday morning pg&e crews began to inspect the lines to make sure they were not damaged. by midnight pg&e said it restored power to 70% of customers but 21,000 remain without power. after 24 hours without power, not everyone was on board with pg&e's proactive approach to preventing wildfires. >> if they can shut it down that quick, they can turn it back on that quick. we are going to do what we want and we are going to turn the power off and we are not going to worry about any fires. and that's just it. it's that simple. nothing we can do about it. >> it's a game, a silly game. >> reporter:

same months in 2016. researchers found there's more traffic than ever before and concluded that ride share cars specifically added 50% to the congestion. both uber and lyft, as you would imagine, are

joining us, good morning, let get you caught up with weather and traffic and say hello to sal castaneda. >> you know that story you guys just read? i did a story about that anecdotally people will telling me that uber and lyft were adding to more traffic so now those people will have more ammunition to say, you see? but, of course, uber disputes that. i'm looking at a list of things that i want to tell you. the bay bridge backup is about 25 minutes and we are also having some slow traffic here on the carpool lanes that i have just noticed and that means everything is getting more crowded. usually when this happens either there's a crash that we don't know about yet but there are the lanes and we will see what happens, maybe there's something just upstream that's slowing traffic. in san francisco it looks pretty good. north and southbound, you can see traffic is okay at the 80 split. no problems getting down to san bruno, westbound 92 heading out to the high-rise that traffic moving

felton, boulder creek, mid-40s. we are noticeably cooler. 37 santa rosa, 41 napa airport. it was one of the biggest drops compared to 24 hours ago along with half moon bay which was 67 yesterday. they are 47 today. so there's your double digit change in temperatures compared to 24 hours ago. so if it feels colder to you, it is. and we are way down there except for san jose, which was 51 at this time yesterday. they are 51 this morning. still, though, the upper atmosphere is all high pressure and still a component or an indicator of north- northeasterly breeze, at least aloft. at the surface, not so much, a little bit. atlas peak, though, 9% humidity so still even though there's not a strong breeze, very dry air mass in place. same up towards hawk eye. by big rock, more of a west wind. yesterday was more northerly. west at one observation napa, the other is east-southeast, so humidity up a little bit. not as low as it was yesterday but still very dry air over us, lows down in the four corners and it's moving two speeds, slow and stop with high pressure up in the pacific northwest, we are caught in between, it's called a blocking pattern and blocking patterns really are slow to break down. so with this in place, our weather is not going to change too much here. again, the breeze is not a factor as much as it was yesterday even though it tailed off by about 10:00 in the morning. 60s, 70s, 80s. not as warm over by the coast but still nice. what about tomorrow? i don't see much change here. next five days, not much change there. maybe next week, but until then, i think

the saudi consulate in istanbul two weeks ago. >> i heard that report but nobody knows if it's an official report. so far it's the rumor, the rumor of the report coming out. >> reporter: just a rumor, he says but if it's true it would upend what the saudi king personally told the president yesterday that his government was not involved. and the president repeated the king's theory someone else did it. >> it sounded to me like maybe these could have been rogue killers. who knows. we are going to try getting to the bottom of it very soon. >> reporter: the saudi and turkish investigators converged at the saudi consulate yesterday to gather evidence. but a cleaning crew arrived there hours earlier and while the president has promised severe consequences if there was saudi involvement, this is complicated. those consequences could peril a saudi arms deal with the u.s., drive up oil prices or even -- >> king salomon was the first saudi monarch ever to visit russia. there's no question they are all watching all of this with great interest and probably great pleasure as well. >> reporter: so all eyes are on saudi arabia today to see if in fact the story does change and if it does, what explanation they will offer to president trump for what he was told yesterday by king soloman. back to you guys. >> thank you. a federal judge in los angeles has dismissed stormy daniels' lawsuit

environmentalist, a lot of people smile when they hear that but i have the cleanest air and i'm going to have the cleanist air but that doesn't mean we have to put every one of our businesses out of

going to just do what we want and we are going to turn the power off and we are not going to worry about any fires. and that's just it. it's that simple. nothing we can do about it. >> it's just a game. it's a silly game. >> reporter: many complaints came from customers who say they are not given nearly enough notice to prepare. several restaurants were forced to close, one store owner gave away food rather than throw it in a dumpster. and several schools closed on monday due to the power outage which also forced many parents to stay home to care for their children. we have word from

slow as well. and what's really been a big problem is when we go to the east bay here, southbound 680 is very slow leaving pleasanton. it is jam packed because of an accident here at andratti. people may have heard about this pause 880 all of a sudden, not all of a sudden, but it's very, very slow, slower than usual, all the way down into san jose. so that commute is going to be rough. also on the peninsula southbound 101 right near marsh road a crash and been a slowdown southbound 280 at el monte road so sometimes you have accidents on both of the main ways to get into san jose. looks like both sides of the bay trying to get to san jose this morning is going to be tough. 8:31, let's go back to the desk. >> thank you. pg&e is slowly making progress in restoring power to poem in the north

three weeks. technicians are working through a 19 step check list to make sure hundreds of the machines are ready. they also calibrated the machines setting the time and date. once the tests are complete, the machines will be sealed and ready for election day november 6th. santa clara will have 850 machines ready to go by election day at precincts across the country. today more than a dozen south bay high schools will help teenagers register to vote in time for the midterms. jesse gary live with santa clara county supervisor chavez. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. thank you for joining us early. this is a pilot program that you're starting, pre registering 16 and 17-year- olds, registering 18-year-olds at high schools today, 13 high schools. however, as we have talked about, young people notoriously when it comes to election day, they are energized beforehand but on the actual day, where are they? what's different this time? >> one of the things that i think is different is the times are difference than the last time we had young people voting. i think there's a lot happening on the national scene that's getting their attention and usually in midterm elections people aren't thinking about a national -- you know, national elections but i think people are already thinking about them so i think that's one really great thing. the other thing is here in santa clara county we are doing something that's opposite of what's happening in places like georgia which is reminding people, for example, that this will be the first time in history in our country that young people will outnumber older people and that really could overpower us with their voting, which is kind of incredible. >> so 13 schools, both in the sgusd and east side union school district. how does this work today? >> today at lunch they are all going to have voter registration rallies and going to be able to listen to music and we have got some singers and hip-hop stars at different places, we have the mascots from some of our san jose giants and the earthquakes q. q will be out there. and part of it is making sure it feels like a community effort. i think one thing that people don't know is the number 1 way that pre determines whether or not you vote and that i voted was whether or not our parents voted. and part of that was building community around it. i knew when my parents voted. it was a big deal in our house. >> you think this is the same way for kids today, to build a sense of election coming up, register, vote, it leads to a lifelong pattern? >> i hope so. we get a chance to remind people if you vote by mail in santa clara county, you vote for free. you don't charge people percentage. -- postage. >> reporter: really. >> you never know how much to put on it and for every district it's different because your ballot size is different. >> reporter: i just put three. busy day for you over at the board of supervisor today including help for teens who need help? >> well, that's right. so one of the things we are voting on is to support a lease with the city of san jose and services for a transgender youth shelter and part of the point we are trying to make with young people even voting today is that their voices matter. we have young people come out and tell us they didn't feel safe in our shelters, they were being turned away from their homes because they are transgender and they needed a safe place and as a community we are rallying around them to respond. >> reporter: waiting for a response from the city, from what i hear? >> yes, we are waiting for the city, the city tells us that they could sign their part of the lease as soon as december but we'd like it to be sooner. we want this up and going, we have children every day sleeping on the streets and we'd like to end that. >> reporter: supervisor, appreciate your time this morning. >> thank you. >> reporter: busy day. see you at the rally at one of those schools. 13 schools, you can check the county's website for more information on which school and exact time, et cetera or you can go to our website, we will link you. we are live in santa rosa this morning, jesse

other side, southbound 680, you know, a lot of people are obviously going to their jobs in the silicon valley and you have to go that way. 84 is taking a lot of traffic because 680 is such a mess. so
