Next couple of hours. Sfo winds out of the north at 18. Downtown San Francisco 17 and fairfield 14. It looks to be fairly calm throughout the rest of our area right now. By 8 00 or 9 00 we are expecting gusts up to 30 Miles Per Hour perhaps. They could increase up to 45. The Santa Cruz Mountains and coastal area, and east bays will all be effected by the high, intense winds, because the High Pressure is heading our way. In the meantime we will get the north winds coming through. That could be a problem. We will talk about the temperatures also here coming up. Jaclyn . Yes.

And at the macarthur maze where 580 and 80 join together there are a lot of brake lights affiliate slow ride
Closed. Now just one is closed. What is the latest update . We worked to get the toll booths open around 4 30 this morning. The major activity this weekend was cleaning up all the debris which poses a hazard to the travel public. We had to make sure it with us completely cleared up, then do the repairs to the other booths damaged. We were able to get that done in fairly short order, some Electrical Work and other things. There may be work in the future we need to do, but for now we are at least able to get them up and running. Reporter what can you tell us about what happened over the weekend, the investigation.

High 50s. So prepare for a cooler day today. Jaclyn. A rough start to our thursday morning commute. This is in oakland. A fatal crash shut down the southbound direction of 880 right at 66th. And we do have a reporter out there, jackie ward on the scene, and she will have a live report coming up shortly. But in the meantime if you are typically a driver that takes 880 in the morning, southbound direction all lanes shut down at 66. You will need to use an alternate. Chpall traffic getting off at 66.

They are clearing it but we are still seeing a backup to san antonio. Hats a check of your traffic; over to you. Some commuters in th

A few minutes ago we received a statement from fedex that says, our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved in the tragic accident. We are cooperating with local officials as they investigate. So well continue to bring

Since january 1st, for San Francisco, 3 1 2 inches of rain already. On average, we get over an inch since january 1st.

And look at san jose, you got a decent helping of rain yesterday. It and that bumped you up to 1. 92 since the beginning of the year. Its been quite a wet start. Well talk about that in just a bit.
