Brutally cold temps. For us, we will warm up. Although it is a slow process. If youre up north, theres rain approaching the north coast. 30s for a few. Upper 40s to almost 50 degrees here towards the Santa Clara Valley and san cruise mountains. 44 in santa cruz. Cupertino also in there. High clouds in Southern California. Not for us. You get drier air. Mendocino county will have more sun than clouds. Theres a couple of bands off shore that rotate through. Mostly sunny. The afternoon testimonies are bumping up 5 to 7 degrees compared to yesterday. Sal, what do you have on your traffic at 7 01. Slow traffic, steve, as you might imagine. The peak of the commute for many commutes anyway. Lets start off with 280 in san jose. Were getting a little more of a look that is congested driving from downtown san jose into the west valley. Cupertino, sunnyvale, Mountain View, traffic will be slow on 280 that you can see by the road sensors but 85 heading north is slow through saratoga. It slows again at 280 and 101 and again slows into sunnyvale. Were looking at the 880 freeway here. 880 slow southbound from hayward to fremont. Not too bad on 280 on the peninsula through daly city. A little bit of slowing as you drive into south city and san bruno. In the east bay, highway 4 is slow through pittsburg. 680 is slowing after 242. Marin county, we will talk about that in a moment. At the bay bridge, it looks ordinary, which is to say a 25 minute delay. In marin, as you know the road in fairfax is blocked on the way out to wood acre. The major marin county road is shut down because of a rock and mudslide. Sir Francis Drake boulevard in fair tax is affecting a lot of drivers. Alex savidge is there this morning. Were hearing that the problem could last all day. Alex. Reporter yeah. Thats the word from crews on the ground. Sal, good morning to you. A lot of folks frustrated. This is one of the main people that get from fairfax where we are over to west marin county. You can see behind us here, they have the road closed signs up. Half a mile from here is where the mudslide is. It has shut down both directions of sir Francis Drake boulevard. Lets take you to video that we have of the scene. County work crews have been busy throughout the morning trying to clear debris from the roadway. The soil gave way overnight, causing earth. Rock and trees to come down the hillside. And all of that debris is blocking or had been blocking sir Francis Drake boulevard near canyon road. They cleared a lot of it from the roadway. There was another slide in the same area earlier in the week. The road reopened on monday and again another slide overnight. A lot of drivers were surprised this morning to see that sir Francis Drake was closed once again. One of the commuters we talked to a short time ago that had to take a detour to get to work was the post master in the community of wood acre. Now we have to deviate up to lucas valley road and come around the back side. But if you have seen that slide and if theres any question about it, a whole lot of mountain could come down. I would rather err on the side of caution. Reporter and thats exactly what they are doing. Even after things get all cleaned up and the lanes of sir Francis Drake boulevard are cleared, the roadway could remain closed throughout the rest of the day at the very least. According to one of the workers that we spoke with this morning. There is quite a bit of concern about more mud coming down from the hillside. Crews will come in theyre going to bring Tree Trimmers in and take down a couple of trees that are potentially impacted by the slide and then they will spend the rest of the damon toring the hillside and make sure that the earth doesnt continue to shift in the area. They will be putting in k rails judge university in case mud comes down the hillside. This sounds like an allday closure while they continue to monitor this mudslide and make sure that things are not moving in this area before traffic is allowed back through here. We have seen similar situations around the bay area. Thank you, alex. Reporter absolutely. It is International Womens day. Tens of thousands of women across the country are expected to take part. Organizers are asking women, children and men to wear red today as a symbol of love and sacrifice. Women are being asked to limit where they spend money. Organizers say shopping at businesses owned by women or minorities is fine. But theyre asking people not to spend money anywhere else to show the economic power that women have. The theme for International Womens day is be bold for change. This year theres a renewed spirit around it. I think in part because of the actions of President Trump and the administration. A whole lot of women who didnt know this month existed last year, didnt know International Womens day existed know now and we will see an expression of that like we havent seen before. There are events planned around the area today. There is a rally in oakland at 5 00 tonight. Ktvus allie rasmus will have a live report for us in the next half hour for a day without women.
