with any south, southeast breeze. it's going to be very mild if we get sun breaks. that adds to the cloud cover developing. but everything is lifting in towards us. a steady rain for some. 60s on temps. 6:02. i don't know where to begin 880, sal? that right and we have a big problem because of the a crash on 880 on davis street. at one point all lanes were blocked southbound at davis street. some lanes are getting through. northbound is affected. i want to show outbackup in oakland heading south -- you the backup in oakland heading south. traffic is going to be busy as you drive south out of downtown oakland. so if you are trying to get to the airport, really in both directions, i recommend if you know your way around, not to use 880 south. perhaps you want other ways to get to the airport. or you want to think of using

problems transportation. looking at the bay bridge slow traffic here from early in the morning and backed up to the maze. i want to mention the other parts of the east bay where we have slow traffic. southbound 680 traffic is slow through police annon. 580 doesn't look too bad over the dublin grade and i forgot to mention the first time, if you are using 580 eastbound through oakland, that's a very good alternate to 8 80 which has problem. slow traffic on highway 24 this morning. steve said it had been raining. you can see traffic is slow from orinda to the tunnel. so it has been a tough commute because of the wet weather. 6:03 now back to the desk. >> thank you. we are following developing news out of austin, texas as well this morning where suspected serial bomber is dead. >> during the night, the man believed to be responsible for a string of bomb attacks blew himself up as the police moved. >> alex savidge has the dramatic end to the manhunt. >> reporter: good morning to you.

the continuing investigation as we try to learn more about him and to understand why he took the actions he did. >> reporter: authorities are not identifying the man who blew himself up overnight only saying he was a 24-year-old white man. investigators are trying to figure out if he had accomplices. these attacks first began back on march 2nd with package bombs being left on people's doorsteps or sent through the mail. two people were killed in those blasts and 4 others were injured. and while there is some sense of relief in the community of austin, the police chief still says that people cannot let their guard down. there is a lot of concern. the suspected serial bomber could have planted other explosive devices before he died. so authorities warning everyone in and around austin this morning to stay vinal lent. >> all right alex savidge we will check back later. thank you. time is 6:05. sal and steve have been telling us the rain is causing all

-- karch the crash has been cleared and towed away but the impact may be felt and southbound 880 through san leandro davis street through oakland as sal mentioned for a while. so just a reminder to take it easy on the roads this morning. slick conditions and that's what caused apparently this spinout crash earlier this morning. bang to you guys. >> that's -- back to you guys. >> that's too bad. thanks allie. also, other big story this morning, from texas law enforcement officials identified the austin bombing suspect as 24-year-old mark anthony condit. he killed himself overnight as investigators were closing in. authorities say that condit set off a bomb inside the car as the s.w.a.t. team was approaching. investigators zeroed in on him and located his car at a hotel in the austin suburb of round rock texas. that's what you are looking at this morning. police say that as he began to

you can see for yourself i can put up a picture of southbound 880 and it's no longer slow out of a area near high street of the northbound we see slow track. the freeway is a mess in the northbound direction that's the typical commute direction getting up to downton oakland. give yourself extra time to do any of the commutes the bay bridge backed up to the maze and the traffic is slow on east shore freeway as well. this is some of the east bay road sensors. 680 is slow. 880 is filling in and the crash is clear. now more slow traffic getting through into hayward. san mateo and dunn barton bridge not too bad. 6:49 let's bring in steve for the weather. thank you. >> you are welcome. >> we have off and on rain today. some of it steady and some heavy. and there's some breaks in the clouds and the air mass is really dense right now. very saturated so off and on rain today. tomorrow, the front comes through. i think tomorrow morning we are going to get moderate to heavy

rain. then the colder air works its way in instead of coming from the southwest, it will drop from the northwest and that will be friday into saturday and probably lingering into sunday. although the weekend systems looks to be a lot less on rainfall but something. angela has been a steady rain. marin county is by far and a ray out in front. ross and marin county 2 1/2. santa cruz hills 1.65. kentfield 2 1/2. occidental and russian river is doing okay. 1.79 scotts valley an inch and a half. now san francisco officially 9/10 but there's a couple locations over an inch in the city. alameda 83. other location greaten a inch and 2/3. and pacifica 3/4 and outville

at .63. and clear lake is up to .58. everybody is make up grouped and as soon as i update these they collect along again. atmospheric river there it is. that's the column of water okay. and transport of water and sometimes there's a narrow band and sometimes a wide band. this is very wide. but that's the low lifting it towards us. in the warm sector that southerly breeze or south eastern kicked in and look at half-moon bay. 16 to 22 that is warm air mass that's in place. and tropical feel higher humidity. and so much moisture and the cloud cover it dips a little out of there and now watch it's coming back in. an with break in the clouds it won't last very long. and there's off and on rain throughout the daych this is a setup for russian river no doubt about it marin county for moderate to heavy rain and it can go and go. next thing you know you have 3 or 4 inches. say for santa cruz mountains.

otherwise quarter to a -- same for the santa cruz mountains. otherwise a quarter of a inch of rain. here's next system that will linger no sunday. look at -- it's 58 in san jose. 56 oakland. 57sfo. so all this is coming from the southwest. and as it does, it is going to paint with us off and on rain and cloudy mugy forecast today. then the low comes in starting tomorrow. and the cold front and then much more cool are by the time we get to friday. 60s on the temps. really muggy warm and if there's a sun. [ i wouldn't be surprised it may be down towards morgan hill. rain is on the way into thursday on and off friday lingers sunday. monday looks good. >> okay. we will look forward to that. thanks, steve. 6:52 is the time right now. many people are deleting their facebook accounts. up next, the latest on the report that your personal information may have been compromised. plus, one of the newest 49ers certainly looks the part during
