Look at a situation here on highway 4, robin. So this is a fatal accident already. It is a fatal accident that happened about an hour ago. Okay. C h p received a report of an overturned suv. It is in the antioch area. Because it is so early and the counter commute direction it is not causing a huge backup but we have two separate accidents. East 4 at hill crest, the three right lanes are blocked. An overturned suv and behind that a second crash happened that is not blocking. Nothing but green right now. No major delays along the stretch but chp issued a Traffic Alert and they look to have it cleared by 4 30 and thats within the next 30 minutes, i will keep an eye on it. Hose of you working you areas three right lanes are blocked. And one lane blocked out of hayward. Around the bay area, no major problems. If you need to get to San Francisco it is quiet at the bay bridge toll plaza. A live look at traffic. At the bay a good ride, no major troubled spots from the eastbound into San Francisco, 8 to 10 minutes for the average drive from the maze to the skyline. The fatal accident at antioch where three right lanes are closed. We will have an update coming up in a bit. Good morning and the fog has returned to the bay. The golden gate a little bit of glaze and haze for us as we get things started. Here is a look at the fog that rolled on from last night. Covering those inland valleys as well as you can see in the wee hours of the night and at 4 00 a. M. Everybody covered and this will mix out as the morning starts to progress. Temperatures for us right now, we have a lot of upper 50s at work. So not a lot of temperature movement. A little bit milder to the south bay. 60 san jose and 55 San Francisco. And 59 covers most of the eastbound shoreline. This compares with yesterday at this time, pretty close on target here. We are a degree or two ahead for some parts of the eastbound. Two to three degrees ahead of san jose. For the ball game, the giants and the rockies. 7 15. The temperatures in the upper 50s and clouds return and the fog. And that chilly breeze out of the southwest at 20 to 25. Here is the low down for oakland. The temperatures mid 60s, foggy morning. Clearing and cool. Will cover us in the afternoon and over the next about 8 hours partly cloudy skies or thats basically the inland spots that will clear out for a nice sunny skies morning. 8 00 a. M. , 59 and quickly bouncing to 75 it looks like by the noon hour. 64 around the bay. We will take a look at the extended forecast and what temperatures will be like in your neighborhood in a bit, james, back to you. Your unusualal reaction. Some bold predictions by warrior fans after golden gate landed the biggest free agent prize this off season. You see him there kevin durant, he decided if you cant beat them, join them, leaving Oklahoma City and the warriors defeated the thunder to make it to the nba finals and he will join dove nation. Warrior fans excited about that not so much and some fans burning the jersey and posting it online. More on Kevin Durants decision to sign with the warriors, mark carpenter brings us the story. Well moments after the warriors lost in the nba finals, team owner promised to be aggressive in free agency. No bigger example than what we saw with the acquisition of kevin durant. The superstar and former mv p leaves Oklahoma City for golden state and form what could be the most dominant lineup the league has ever seen. Before this process even started, kevin durant said his choice would be a basketball decision. And what better way for the 27 yearold to get closer to his first title than joining a lineup than curry, thompson and green. Among the new core 4, three mvp awards, 13 allstar finishes and none of them older than 28. We are glad. We never dreamed about this before. We never thought we would have them in the team but it is a blessing. You think championships are coming. At least one. And then you know what is happening next off season. While fans in the bay area relish at the possibilities, others rip kevin durant for chasing a ring with his former rivals. I am viewing it as a weak move from a superstar plain and simple. Up 31 in the finals, not one, but two and three different times 48 minutes removed of get to go to nba finals by winning the western conference and you depart for the team that beat you when you are on the cusp of get to go to finals yourself and ultimately winning the championship for the franchise that you have been with since you have been with the nba, i think it is incredibly weak. There is a taste of what the super team can expect as the nba latest nba new player. And all of the banners this group can collect now. We are watching twitter and not all of the stories are positive. Big names including nba players are slamming kevin durant. In fact Washington Wizard Center mark gartez wrote that is crazy kevin durant are they going to score 200 points a game and oakland native Damian Dillard says the game has changed and paul pierce says if you can beat them, join them and Draymond Green wrote welcome to the family, kevin durant, lets do what we are setting out to do block out the noise. And the warriors are set out to win another championship. Thats the goal and to say they are a favorite would be an understatement. The vegas odds for winning it all four to five. And after that, the cavaliers are 4 to 1 followed by the spurs, and the clippards and the celtic and the thunder, those of the latest from vegas this morning. More on the warriors to come in a bit.
