7:15 am
slowdowns. san mateo and dunbarton bridges are also okay. southbound 680 this morning is off to a slow start. as is southbound 880 as you drive into fremont. you can sew some slowing approaching stevenson where there was a crash here on the shoulder. 7:15. let's bring steve in. thank you sir. >> you're welcome. >> all right good morning everybody. happy monday. happy cold monday out there under mostly clear skies. little breeze out of the west- northwest. so it will be a cool chilly morning. that will be a layer day because by this afternoon, now the birds are singing. very nice. nice -- but it's cold. they are probably bundmented up a little bit this morning here because they have temperatures in the 30s for many. and taking a look stacey ross says good morning -- good morning rs. hey a brisk 39 there. feels colder but i'm glad it's not. are we done with the rain? no. there will be april showers. might be something clipping the sierra. lots of 30s and one observation now shows 36. 30s aplenty in the santa cruz mountains and a few around

7:17 am
and 57%. to statewide summary 56%. that's i'd say almost miracle to be honest with you. the windchill though. susanville. 17. 34 auburn and placerville and 34 yucaipa. it's a cool one out of the breeze picking up out of the northwest but 40s around the bay. and 30s for many. still we're slow to recover here but we will and that northerly or northwesterly breeze will be in place most of the day. 7 now up in truckee and teens around lake tahoe with a few single digits. i mean that's a cold, cold morning. but they will recover more so tomorrow than today. today is the in-between day. although lots of sunshine. everything looked developmentment no issues this -- good though. no issues this week for rain. late saturday and sunday there might be a system clipping northeastern california and the sierra. we'll watch that for you. 60s on the temperatures and temperatures near average for this time of year. they will continue to bump up this might be the coast day of the week. -- coolest day of the week. warmer weather which you want is on the way. >> bring it.

7:45 am
week when it was raining. so i think you are going to have a nicer commute. 37 minutes, this is a nice crowded commute albeit much better than the 62 minutes i saw last week at this time and it was raining hard. remember that? well, it is slow. when you get to the bay bridge you will see slow traffic and highway 24 is slow. b.a.r.t. has been quiet. some minor delays but nothing major right now. bay bridge backed up for 20 minute delay. what a difference the weather makes. obviously. it's a little breezy out there. and if you drive the small car or maybe a high-profile vehicle you should be careful on causeways can bridges, this is a look now at -- and bridges, this is a look now at the south bay commute filling in especially on 85 and 280 and 101 and you can tell a little spring break out there. i know that some -- i just kind of made up that phrase. but it does look just a little bit lightener some schools maybe be -- lighter and some schools may be out this week and maybe next week. 7:45. steve? all right sal right to it here. we had activity all the way
7:46 am
