should be closer to 21 from 85 to the montague expressway and 280 out of downtown once again really starting to grind but it starts way back here on 680 heading in the northbound direction. 24 minutes to cupertino. we have been tracking this ride on 85 heading north bound through saratoga through campbell and the drive times are about 12 minutes over what they should be, especially high with 17 northbound, it opens north of lexington but heavy and slow from the summit. 22 minutes is the northbound right. a bridge check as we look at the bay bridge westbound. we are still pretty heavily backed up. the 880 approach is slowing a little more. 20-22 minutes out of the macarthur maze for the westbound bay bridge. the san mateo bridge is a great alternate. traffic is not too heavy

'60s. 83 degrees for santa clara and san jose. everyone is right around that temperature. as you head south it will get warmer. inland valleys is where we see temperatures this afternoon. low 90s to the san ramon valley and of course the livermore valley will give alone 90s. your 7 day forecast shows that we

southbound ride is still backed up three danville and walnut creek into san ramon. the slow traffic southbound will cost 32 minutes into dublin out of walnut creek and the northbound right is backed up slower than usual adding 10 minutes to the northbound truck time to walnut creek out of san ramon with an accident backing of the right towards sycamore valley road. in the south bay we continue to track highway 85 as a hot spot in the northbound direction heading past this 17 interchange through saratoga through cupertino. the drive time is running 28 minutes. that is an extra 12 minutes over what it should be. the 17 commute has been extremely slow. it is starting to forget a little bit at 22 minutes out of the summit in the northbound direction. a bridge check looking first at the bay bridge toll plaza where the westbound ride is still backed up through the toll plaza towards the macarthur maze. the drive time is
