some increased sunshine in some of our great pockets right along the bay and further inland as well as for rain or snow that still continues to be sent well to the north. this high-pressure ridges push the jet stream on up into western canada. this means that aside from the haze we're in for another crystal clear day today and looking at dry conditions through the last day of november on into the start of december tomorrow and likely to stay that way through the upcoming weekend. well into next week to you don't see a whole lot of changes here in future cast a few clouds from time to time. but really staying nice and dry through this forecast might as well enjoy it while we do have this dry and comfortable weather today is actually going to be even a bit warmer than yesterday was. you'll notice a few more 70's on the map and what we had for your monday redwood city among spots at 71 degrees campbell, you're the warm spot again today at 74 degrees in the east bay. lot of 70's as well. whether you're inland or right along the bayshore oakland in

along 80 as well. and that is actually slowed 80 westbound through ville a to a crawl, if not stopping you from time to time. right before you get there towards the carquinez bridge. one. oh, not a whole lot of slowdowns, but a few spots that you will at least not be traveling at the limit from san jose to 85 in menlo park. that's a 34 minute commute th s morning. and as you try to get yourselves to the bay bridge on westbound 80 from crockett to the maze. a pretty natural slowdown taking you down to 28 minutes just to make that crossing right there. back to you. if you're still asking where's my stuff. the president says he's on it. >> now despite the supply chain backlog that we've seen in this country. the president somehow, you know, either

speeding up the transportation issue with truckers by allowing them to work longer or also temporary loosing regulations and letting younger drivers become truck drivers. >> the only thing that the government, ken, do. >> she increased flexibility, especially the short term companies have their own interest in making pension work because otherwise they got nothing to set. >> now the big concern with the they don't want to come for my safety. so there's that issue. and then there's a problem with this shipping set the port of oakland. they've actually seen a 20% decline in their total cargo volume for the month of october compared to last year because it turns out delays in southern california were so bad that some of the carriers decided to divert their ships directly asia by passing oakland in the process. and don't forget, even though it's bad socal to run a 24 7 down there. there's trying to get all this stuff

off the ships and into the stores. the president's going to talk more about supply chain issues tomorrow in a speech will carry that. >> well, also for your money this morning, amazon is poised to pass ups and fedex to become the largest u.s. delivery service and scammers are sending fake store surveys and in person, a well-known american companies jane king live at the nasdaq with what we need to be on the lookout for jane. yes, james, of course i've got a few of these as well. i know they're out there during the holidays. and it's really were so the better business for warning about this. >> latest scam of the scammers send a text message or i've seen e-mail as well where they say they're from a well known company. amazon fedex are among those they offer a free product or a gift card. if you feel the survey, the trouble is when you click on the link for the survey. then they installed the malware onto your device. well, amazon about to become the largest u.s. package delivery service by early next year. overtaking ups and fedex dave clark, the

share so far. john can tell you that the chances of rain are like slim to none. and right now, which means no snow, which is unfortunate and i'm waiting. >> to hit the slopes today. pass. keep holding on so what is it going to be good. i hope soon. but there is no sign really the near future of anything that could break through. >> this high-pressure wall. that's just pushing any sort of rainfall or snow for that matter. well, out of the region all the way up into western canada. so what we're in the midst of is this, which hey, it's beautiful, but i think we'd all rather be talking about some rainfall. just knowing that we absolutely do need it so badly now. it is a beautiful bright morning. you can see the fog if you look really closely that sitting right there in portions of the bay. this fog is patchy dense, though. so as you drive into work, if you do encounter anticipates some lower visibility because of it. you see the rainfall to our north up in washington. the jet stream is being sent well up to our north as this

ridge of high pressure proceeds to just sit right over the southwestern us keeping us dry and keeping us pretty hazy. you notice the haze yesterday. you're going to notice it again today. it's created the cap right across the bay. so a lot of the pollutants are just stuck with us and thus the moderate air quality that we're going to see yet again for your tuesday. futurecast shows the clear skies that we do have. guess what, we've got more of that tomorrow into the start of december december. first on wednesday. and we will look at clear skies taking us through thursday friday on into the upcoming weekend, too. today's daytime highs a little warmer than yesterday's were back up into the 60's for san francisco. 70 right at the coastline and half moon bay and also looking at some 70's more than yesterday. right along the bayshore saying carlos woodside at 72 degrees each. our warm spot for a second day in a row that you campbell at 74 degrees and the east bay. the low 70's for your daytime highs. hayward 72 degrees, oakland and richmond in the upper 60's. well, the

north bay looking at 60's to low 70's for your highs. santa rosa and petaluma credit 70 degrees each tomorrow's highs as well as thursday's will remain very steady in the low 70's before a modest cool down this weekend. nothing dramatic just enough to take us back down into the 60's for more of the bay area and certainly no chances of rainfall just yet. without the rain. well, your commutes have been pretty easy for the most part, we have seen some fog this morning and you even saw some of the bay bridge toll plaza earlier that has since lifted its bright out there. it's just a really slow go. now. it's full force back to work after thanksgiving and you can tell right there at the toll plaza from the maze to fremont street is going to get 22 minutes. a lot of traffic heading across the san mateo bridge as well from a 80 to one o one that's an 18 minute commute and a pretty easy one across the golden gate bridge, not just because it's so sunny and beautiful, but also because there's just not a whole lot of traffic. now, what we do have on highway 4 westbound is a slowdown that is just persistent. and that's

not because of any incident. that's just your highway 4 westbound traffic. this time of morning when you have a full force commute antioch to concord. that's going to take you. 42 minutes and also ample slowdowns all across the east bay. whether you're traveling 80 6.80, to 38 the connector between 5.80, as you head over to a t or right across from dublin on over towards ashland in san lorenzo all these areas are really slow as you do, take the connector from 5.80, over 2 to 38 do expect that pretty significant slowdown. in fact, traffic is stopped right there just because there are so many people back on the roads this morning. one. oh, one northbound from san jose to menlo park also very slow. 52 minutes right there. and 85 is not going to offer you much of a better option that one is also slow down heading northbound. so i'd advise may be getting off and heading up 82 instead and also looking a

slow commute heading from crockett to the maze. that's westbound 80 right there before you even get to the toll plaza that's already going to take you 37 minutes. james. all right. thank you very much, john. 7.48, is the time and we have to keep players. >> they're not going to play with the forty-niners as they face the seattle seahawks. this coming weekend. they got some injuries and klay thompson, as you know, is recovering still from his injuries and. >> he is on the court with the warriors. but not in games yet kron 4 sports director jason dumas says the peak. >> the niners won their 3rd straight game on sunday when they took down the vikings. but it did not come without call deebo samuel and fred warner and already been ruled out for next week's divisional matchup against the seahawks for deebo if a strained groin and will be out one to 2 weeks. warner. >> he's dealing with a hamstring kyle shanahan said someone is going to have to step up where d both who is on the shortlist for mvp this season. >> it's been a big part of our offense. but i think we're in

a spot right now that we overcome came in esterday made a huge play. i use 7 up each week doing better. each coming along. but to give all travelers been more opportunities anyways have beat out there and it will get a healthier better each weekend. i'm going do well to it. >> day by day, brick by brick. that's been klay thompson's attitude as he works towards a return to the court for the first time in over 2 and a half years and man, it's getting so close. i can just feel it. i can't wait for that night. the santa cruz warriors released some video of clay scrimmaging with the team. and as you can see for clay someone as skilled as him. it's like riding a bike taken the to the hole icu. but hey, i caution be patient. i'd be irresponsible if i didn't remind everyone at home. just how tough it is to do what clay is attempting to do. come

back from those 2 traumatic injuries, santa cruz warriors coach seth cooper. he shared his thoughts on clay at practice. he was cleared for full go. >> everything we did was full of 100%. he was going there was no holding them back in the u.s. live stream it to live today in practice. he was totally lives. so there was no point back goes, it was just really what im going. but it experience playing all out and he did that. and he looked really good at doing that. >> a's fans. they've been nervous that there would be a roster fire sale this offseason for good reason. they've already lost skipper bob melvin sterling mark tay and mark hanna. but the organization did resign. chad pender and tony kemp. so all is not law. you have something to smile take those smiles. >> when you can get >> all righty. that is your look at sports. >> it was good to see clay. it was all meet with the worriers there on the road tonight
