Monday morning, the first thing i did, was go down to the Army Recruiting station to enlist in the service of my country. I was told there was no quota for black troops.

Daytime high, looking at 60 in concord, fremont, 62 in san jose. 59 in oakland as well for San Francisco. In the meantime, were tracking that fog, especially the trivalley, north bay, south bay, lets get right to gianna with the foggy commute. There are fog advisories in effect issued by chp for Alameda County and areas of the altamonte pass as you work your way through there, youll see foggy spots. To the south bay we go, looking at your drive times. The morning commute is getting busier. Northbound 101, brake lights coming away from 280, 680, pockets through there. Northbound there, you may see it as you exit the freeway. Reports of a new exit at idlewild road. This is blocking at least the slow lane, the right lane, and were seeing delays as you work your way through there. Dry times in the green with the exception of the area north of where the drive time is on 101 around the 280, 680 connector. Update here on the trouble spot. We have had our eye on this.

Lets go to San Francisco where that rain, we can see it, starting to come down, so inja. Storms happening all over this city, including downtown. Keep li
