time check on this first day of may and take a look at this. got to stop what you're doing. look at this. this is your friday. we do have another day with unseasonably warm conditions. but a big change for your weekend. we'll talk about that coming up at 5:48. well, a sick sea lion got stuck from home and he was spotted on the streets of san francisco. take a look at the little guy. here he is in the marina. he was just so weak, he laid his head on the curb. crews with the marine mammal center came to the rescue and it turns out they had seen this
5:44 am
pup before. and they say his name is rubbish. >> he was an animal that stranded down in santa barbara county back in february. there isn't enough fish for the sea lions' mothers to take care of their pups so earlier this year we had hundreds and hundreds of little sea lion pickups like rubbish back in february, march and april come in because they're starving to death. >> the marine mammal center says it has rescued more animals in the last four months than all of 2014. hard to believe but this is the last months of david letterman's talk career. last night first lady michelle obama and talking about the first daughters in the white house. >> if there's a party and we know what time it's going to be over we make sure she is back right after the party. >> you say party and all i'm thinking about is probably going to be boys at the party. >> there are always boys at the parties. >> yes. >> how's that working? >> that's okay. you know? barack is handling that okay. [ laughter ]
5:45 am
>> oh, he handles that. >> yeah. [ laughter ] [ applause ] that he does. a 90-minute prime time special, letterman, a life on television, can be seen on monday night here on kpix 5 at 9:30 p.m. >> how would you like to be one of those boys trying to date the president's daughter? >> are you kidding me? hard enough being a teenaged kid dating someone's daughter but can you imagine driving up to the white house? i bet you don't drive up. >> i don't think so. >> you just wave and say, bye, you guys. let's go outside. let's see what can we talk about first? we have a few things going on out the door. first the metering lights were turned on early over at the bay bridge. they were turned on at 5:36 yesterday it was 5:35! so i don't know what's going on. you have to get to the bay bridge earlier and earlier to beat the lights and the rush. it is already stacking up beyond the first overcrossing in all lanes now. the cash and the fastrak lanes. and if you are a weekend commuter just a heads up that

fremont street off-ramp closure begins tonight at midnight and lasts through 6 a.m. saturday. so at this time tomorrow morning you will have to use the harrison street off-ramp instead. here's a live look out the door at 880 in oakland. everything looks okay. they should be wrapping up that overnight roadwork if it's in the cleared already. it was scheduled to be cleared at 6:00 northbound 880 between 29th and 23rd. and overall we really haven't seen much of a delay from the coliseum all the way to downtown even with caltrans crews pretty hard at work there overnight. here's a live look now at the golden gate bridge. somehow we missed the zipper crews this morning but i'm sure they were out there getting that other southbound lane open to commute traffic and so far it looks good right now out of sausalito. ac transit is rerouting around the macarthur bart station. if you are an ac transit rider be there planned protests around 7:30 at macarthur bart. right now, all lines are on time except for the daly city line five- to ten-minute delays and this is a separate issue. these are equipment problems.
5:47 am
it's a friday. we like to ask what drives you crazy on your commute. brenda is bugged by those last- minute mergers. those drivers who insist on merging at the very last part of the lane passing every car until they are practically driving on the shoulder. i drive from san jose to palo alto on the guadalupe parkway to 101. and i often see one last car trying to squeeze past me like it even makes a difference. all right. well, how you merge can actually say a little something about your personality. some feel that deep urge to get in the right lane as quickly as possible. and then there's others that just kind of hang out until the very last second. traffic studies have shown that if everything is flowing freely drivers should merge early to avoid those unsafe scenarios like the one you describe. but when traffic is congested, it's often a good idea to make full use of both lanes and merge late. well, we want we want to know what drives you crazy during your commute. ask a question or share a gripe by emailing crazy@kpix.com. or tweet me at #ewengerkpix and watch to see if your question gets answered on air.
5:48 am
>> that was a good one. all right, let's go over to roberta with a check of your forecast. >> you wanted to look at me all the time. we merge late both of us. >> we merge early. we. >> we just want to get home. we get up a 1:45 a.m. ! we want to get home! let's check the temperatures in the area now. i want to go up north a little bit here. whoops, okay. maybe due north. temperatures 51 degrees currently. that would be john miller. he is a brand-new weather watcher. thanks, john, for reporting from santa rosa. clear skies there locally right now as we continue with our offshore flow. this is the scene looking out towards the bay bridge. boy, that is just spectacular! official sun-up is at 6:14. we're already seeing the makings of a day with above average temperatures. look at these numbers out the door into the 50s and into the 60s. this is how i'm breaking it
