5:43 am
warmest well into the 80s. 72 san leandro. north bay sunshine latter part of the day should be as high as 79 degrees in napa today. and about 76 in kentfield. things change, low clouds onshore, i think we may begin to pick up more drizzle as we head in towards sunday morning at least along the coastline. and i think dreary days ahead as we head into next monday, tuesday and wednesday especially out towards the beaches. that's weather and here's gianna with the rest of the track. on the maps, a new problem to report a broken-down vehicle second lane from the upper deck around treasure island blocking the slow lane. still light not a big backup. here's live look at the bay
