let's go back to sal. what's happening in the highway 24 area, sal? >> highway 24 is actually doing pretty well so far. but yesterday we kind of had a tough commute. and we have been looking at a little bit of fog through there. nothing major. i'm kind of steve's deputy. i point out the fog and steve will tell us why it's there. let's move along and take a look at westbound bay bridge. that traffic looks okay coming in to san francisco. and this morning in the south bay on 237 off to a nice start as you cross 880. 6:17. here's steve. >>> yes, sir. i deputize you a long time ago. >> yes, sir. >> you're very good with the weather. very good. we have a lot of fog. sal just touched on right there. some of the fog is right on the deck today getting squashed by high pressure. out over the bay and also along the coast. but it's also warmer. not only on the overnight lows by about 10 degrees also higher elevations are running warmer. once this fog burns off i think by 9:00 for some and by noon for everybody it's going to be sunny and warmer. we still have ano

let's check back in with sal for a look at traffic. how is it going sal? >> you know it is actually not going very well. in livermore a big truck accident i told you about last time. westbound 580 as a matter of fact. let me just get the map back up here, westbound 580, an overturned truck carrying organic fertilizer, that could be a bunch of things but it is not determined to be a hazmat situation, that means the department of transportation says it is not a huge -- it is not a huge risk for contamination, they will just have to scoop it up then it will be -- they will be able to just basically wash it off without having to close the freeway further but the damage is done, the two left lanes is closed and traffic is quickly backing up. they are already putting up the signs on highway 5 to let them know this is a big problem. let's take a look at the bay bridge. westbound after treasure island the two right lanes closed near treasure island for an overturned car but it is so early and so light that it is not causing a big back up just yet. let's hope they

sal is checking in on the ferries. what is going on, sal? >> that's right the vallejo ferry, the 7:00 run to san francisco has been cancelled but the other runs, 1 at 5:30 and another one at 6:30. there is one at 7:45 and 8:45. those will go. but the 7:00 one, perhaps their most popular one, will not go from 7:00 in vallejo because of mechanical problems. they will have a bus for you instead. let's go take a look at 80 westbound. that traffic is moving along okay as you drive out toward the commute. san mateo bridge looks okay out to the high rise. this morning on 237 we are doing well. here is steve. >> thank you. >>> skies are clear, kind of cool for some but very mild for others. show you the lows here in a second. once sunrise comes it is going to be warm to hot. san francisco at 66 right now. 66. they were hard-pressed to find a high temperature like that about the last three weeks. yesterday was 87. we will go 74, yoarks 94 on the high. so wall to wall sunshine. severe clear. 80, 90, 100. now that is just, you know, give you a general

let's head right out to sal castaneda who has had a little bit of a busy morning this morning, hi, sal. >> people always ask us why do we mention the check points? it is because the police ask us to and they still get plenty of customers, if you know what i mean. so the police ask us to do it and that is why we mention it. >>> traffic is slow there. they have cleared up a truck accident. that is 101. all lanes are block here. the traffic is backed up from 280 up to the downtown area although it is beginning to loosen up a little bit. i would still use 280 instead. it is wide open for you but you can see it is getting a little bit better. all right. let's go outside and take a look at the toll plaza westbound up to the middle lanes no major problems on to the upper deck and this morning's commute is okay on 237 crossing 880. now here is steve. >> thank you, sal, here we go, low clouds and fog on this monday morning. we transition from july into august and nothing has changed.

let's check in with sal. feeling like friday light yet? >> so far there are a couple of glitches here and there but for the most part doing well. highway 24 westbound on the way over to the tunnel it looks pretty good and still light on the way to oakland. this morning's commute in oakland at the toll plaza westbound looks nice. no problems on to the bridge itself. i got word of some road work here on 92 at 101 eastbound 92 at 101 on the way to foster city. a couple of lanes closed for paving. it looks like we are not actually sure when they are going to pick it up but right now those lanes are still closed on the way to the san mateo bridge. let's go to mark. >> good morning to you. a crisp cool in the air this morning. temperatures upper 40s north bay, santa rosa reporting visibility a quarter of a mile with dense fog there. san francisco 55. oakland 60. livermore 55 degrees. high pressure of course dominating our forecast. earlier this week producing temperatures quite a few triple digits on tuesday and al

back to sal. we've heard about fires in san jose. what else is going on, sal? >> i want to update you that there are two different fires in san jose burning less than two miles apart in the san jose and then san jose near 880. so right there one there and one there. we have crews going to both locations. we will get you more information as soon as they arrive there. they are just moments away. let's move along and look at the golden gate bridge. traffic moving along well heading to the toll plaza. also this morning bay bridge light delay. no problems into san francisco. and this morning northbound 880 that traffic continues to look good into downtown oakland. at 5:47. let's go to mark. >>> good morning, sal. cooler day across the entire bay area. in fact the fog really making a come back. mostly cloudy skies in santa rosa, nap pa, clouds in san francisco, oakland and mountain view. strong southwesterly breeze gust up to 30 miles an hour within the past hour. high pressure has been the big weather story. almost like a bike pump. pump, pump, pump like a bike pump

here is steve. >> sal, thank you. we have fog again, drizzle, the fog was way up there over the weekend, is shallower today so more coast and bay than inland but trying to make that push. an interesting low to the left of your screen. that will start to move in tomorrow and that will just negate any warm up today which is a little bit. warm air aloft and the fog is not as thick so a warmer day today. 52 san francisco. 58, 62, we will go 65 for a high. upper 80s to near 90s inland. 60s, 70s coast and bay. temperatures right now starting off 52 popular napa santa rosa san francisco the warmest, san jose 58. everyone is close. 40s mountains. 50s valley. 50s and 60s up and down the coast. look at that low. that will play into our weather. that system coming in tomorrow. that will start to cool us down. even stronger system comes in towards the end of the week. so today is the warmest of the week then a good system will dig down and giving us another big cool down towards the end of the week and into the weekend. so fog dr

sal has been checking 280, san jose, that car fire. how is it going, sal? >> that's right. it's messing up traffic. even though the car fire has been put out. 280 at ray street, which is north of here, about maybe a mile. and traffic is quickly backing up here on 280. as you drive up to downtown san jose. i would say, if you can -- it's early enough where you can use an alternate route, maybe stevens creek or something else before you get on downtown san jose freeways. or use 101 to 880 and getom that way. get on that way. right now, it's not a good way to go, 280. >>> westbound 84, looks good, getting up to the tunnel. and no major problems. and this morning's drive at the bay bridge toll plaza is light. and checking the old twitter f. you know of any traffic issues, muni, bart. send me a tweet. sal, underscore, cast ned a. >> and you is k send me one, too. sp weather. >>> people are saying, low clouds, fog, cool, breezy. i believe san francisco has had low clouds or fog reported every day since the first of july. that's a long stretch to have gray skies and temperatures.

. >>> right now, we want to check in with sal. sal? >> the normal morning commute is getting to the peak. you might want to consider transit. b.a.r.t. so far not reporting any delays this morning. yesterday they had the problems. neither is caltrain. or follow me and i will keep you posted on what's going on with transit in the traffic. northbound and southbound 880. the traffic here is looking good 237 stop and go traffic. today's weather here's steve. >>> all right. we are looking for a little bit cooler weather near the coast. the fog is getting closer. the wind is tarting -- it starting to turn westerly. it will -- any cooling inland will still be hot. temperatures will be in the 100s. by the coast. we could have near 80-degree temperatures by 11:00 and then by 2:00, you'll be in the 60s. it's one of those tough calls. 90s around the bay and00s inland -- and00 inland. 60s for everybody. pleasanton, 68 degrees. we have 90 in palm springs already. 50s and 60s here because the fog has come roaring you the central california coast. it'

let's get to sal so he can get you to where you need to go. sal. >> all right. traffic is actually okay so far. we have been expecting it to be heavy. early in the morning some people are on the road probably trying to beat the heat as we look at a live picture of interstate 80 coming through the berkeley area down to oakland. it looks pretty good. when you get to the toll plaza there will be almost no delay which should make you very happy getting into san francisco. we're watching the livermore valley already some slow traffic coming in past highway 84. but for the most part it's a nice drive. getting out to hayward southbound 880 at 92 watch for minor accident on the shoulder. and watch for some just a little minor slowing at the toll plaza. 6:19. go to steve. >>> we start off with clear skies. where's the fog? about 30 miles off monterey and getting closer. just looking if the funston. san francisco downtown 62 degrees. 57 outer sunset. so a little hint of a west wind there too. it's going to take a while inland areas another day before cool down. oakland 68

thank you, sal. if you want to send me a weather tweet mine is sp weather. people have been sending me very good information. keep it coming. low clouds, fog, cold and windy. i mean it's just incredible pattern that we're stuck in. and fairfield west-southwest gusts to 30. south-southwest at vacaville. cloudy, overcast. the fog is very slow to burn off for parts of the north bay and also along the coast. what the heck is going on? well, satellite picture really tells the best story. area of low pressure dropping down. actually right there going into eastern oregon. it will settle down towards the oregon-nevada-california border. but for this time of year incredibly strong. this is just more of a march pattern. something you would see then and not now, but we are. that keeps us very cool and a lot of drizzle. coast and bay and city. it has been a very cold stretch for san francisco and much of the coast. 54 right now. go 60 for a high. yesterday's high was 61. 54 right now san after ill and napa. same

let's go right back out to sal. sal, how's the golden gate bridge looking? >> it's beautiful but the traffic is looking good too. traffic on southbound 101 looks pretty good heading down to the toll plaza. you can see the lane workers on the bridge looking for the cones that may have slipped out as they changed the lane configuration. that's what they're doing. they should be off the bridge in just a few moments here. southbound traffic looks good. and the caution signs are up because the lane workers are out there right now. let's move along and take a look at the bay bridge. very light here. westbound traffic looks good on the way into the city. and this morning if you're driving in oakland northbound and southbound 880 also looks very good so far. 5:48, here's steve. >>> thank you, sir. low cloud deck extended inland already. low dropping down from the pacific northwest. if anything it might establish itself and reload next week. which keeps us in a very cool pattern. the coast is really having a hard time warming up. upper 50s and low 60s. santa cruz har

here's steve. >>> thank you, sal. good morning. in the fog or in the drizzle from the cliffhouse over to lake merced. if you are right along the coast in the ci, it's cold. 15 to 20-mile-per-hour wind. temperature around 22, 23. the fog is extended well inland, more today than yesterday. west 12 at sfo, west at oakland at 9. they reported heavy drizzle and then fairfield, west-southwest 24 gusting to 30. that's a howling sea breeze. that means the inland areas which warmed up yesterday, cool down. temperatures to remain below average across the board. only a little bit warmer there but around the inland areas they camup 5, 10 degrees. morning fog, drizzle. cooler, breezy today. even if you get the sunshine it will be back in the upper 70s, low to mid-80s for many. it looks like another big cooldown for the weekend. the first of three lows is now moving in. there it is up near the oregon/california border. week as they may be, it doesn't matter. that will usher in cooler temperatures. there's still some warm air in the higher elevat

let's check in with sal who is starting in san jose. what's going on, sal? >> we're just seeing traffic getting a little busier on 101 northbound approaching the airport. not too bad. it seems to even have improved the last 15 minutes or so. it goes up you will see slowing in sunnyvale. this morning's commute is not too bad. this is 8 0 north and southbound. that traffic moves along well. >>> if you are driving at the bay bridge toll plaza, it's been nice and light for you. no major problems coming in to the city. less go to steve -- let's go to steve. >>> fairfield, says low clouds. low clouds that far means we're done. west-southwest 20 even with the low overcast. southwest 6 at vacaville. vacaville is like the last outpost to get a sea breeze. once they get it, it's making it all the way to san francisco. concord, southwest at 10. napa, west-northwest 5. santa rosa says calm but there's a lot of fog. sea breeze in play. the fog bank is up there 3,000 feet. it's really a cool pattern. even a little bit of mist. once the fog burns off, the mist starts. 60s

let's see what sal is watching right now. sal? >> regarding that ac transit story. if you are experiencing delays on ac transit, tweet me we would love to hear about it. we pass it right out to the viewers. let's take a look at westbound bay bridge. that's backed up for about a five-minute to ten-minute delay. we've had some drizzle in san francisco. a little windshield wiper here and there. northbound traffic moderate. this is the first time in a week we've been able to see 101 in san francisco from our camera which is mounted on the tall building in downtown. we simply can't see it most days these days but today we can. moving along to the peninsula. we had a couple of earl why earl problems on 1 -- earlier problems on 101. southbound 101 down to palo alto is not in good shape. i would use 280 instead. here's steve. >> good morning. cool, cold, kind of drizzly for some. we're getting a sea breeze west- southwest and that sea breeze goes out to vacaville and the valley. the reason this is impressive there's a low spinning. this might be strong enough to mix out the

it's cal underscore sal -- it's sal underscore castanedo. >>> santa cruz mountains has been kind of a tough one. 17, redwood estates clearing up a minor accident. but 17 is in bad shape coming over the mountains getting into the valley. here's steve. >>> and sal i'm also on the tweet thing that you introduced me to. >> know i know sp weather. >> sp weather. fog, what have you, always good to hear from people, it really does help because you are closer to it than i can get. we have a lot of fog for some. but not for all. it will burn off. stratus or low clouds made it well inland coming down the coast. it's a north wind that will take it and continue to usher it right on out of here. before that hasn't -- happens, fog. yesterday, we had a couple of upper 30s yesterday in the russian river. a lot of 40s. today it's in the mid-50s to mid-60s. san francisco's 55. we'll go 67 today. temperatures are coming up a little bit especially inland. santa rosa, 80 yesterday. yes, santa rosa did hit 80 yesterday. 85 today. walnut creek from 70. we'll go 84. and san jose a little cool there yesterday

we want to check in with sal castanedo. still slow in san jose on 280, sal. that's right. we've been watching to see if there are any crashes associated with the slowdown. a lot of people are trying to get in. it's not completely slow but definitely we'll see some lowing coming from downtown heading into the valley. also this morning, we are looking at the commute on 237. that's going to be slow as well as you cross 880 and continue out to the 101 area. this moving's commute hasn't been too bad if you are driving to the bay bridge. it's about a five to ten-minute delay. it's a spare the air day. if you can, you can help us out by taking public transportation or taking your bike if you can. help us out with air quality. one last thing i want to mention, some caltrain delays, trains number 104 and 206 are delayed in the southbound direction because of some signal problems. caltrain says those delays are not expected to last much longer. less go to steve -- let's go to steve. >>> we have a little haze over oakland. 67 degrees. the oakland airport says they are already 71. wha

we want to check in with sal. hopefully no big problems for the commute. >> yeah, we have been doing pret well this monday morning. i am hoping that we are going to ease into it nicely. let's check out highway 4. traffic is moving along pretty well up to the willow pass grade. no major problems there. as a matter of fact we have been doing very well driving on 880 and love the eastbay highways look good. not a bad commute at all. this morning's commute on westbound bay bridge is still light. now things may change in the coming hour so we will keep track of it. here is steve. >> thank you, sal. good morning. >>> on this monday pretty good low spinningwill start a cool down tomorrow. today we have warm air aloft and the fog is right down on knee deck. over the weekend up around 2500, 3000 feet, down be low 1500 right now, some of it has moved locally inland and temperatures will be round slightly today and come right back down tomorrow as that low spinning there starts to move in. we have had benefits of a cool summ

how are they looking, sal? >> looking okay. the bay bridge has a packup. it's not all that -- backup. it's not all that bad. westbound backed up to about the middle of the parking lot. san mateo bridge looks good. but 101 southbound, slow getting down to palo alto because of a crash they are clearing up now. just be aware of that. you might want to go automatic all -- go all the way to 280. 8:25. here's steve. >>> cold. cold this morning. upper 40s for a few. low 50 for many. foggy, cold, for almost every location. if you have any sun, can you tweet me spweather. spweather. fair field west-southwest 26 sustained. if vacaville gets a west wind, that means cooler. south wind this time of year is a cooler direction. a lot of low clouds and fog. it's lifted this morning. so 51 in san francisco. we'll go 5 on the high tide -- 58 on the high side. >> the system is driving down. that's a low coming in. there will be one coming in and then a stronger one reloading or reinforcing that system probably early next week. >>> brentwood, antioch, oakley are staying in th

you can tweet me sal underscore castanedo. bay bridge, it's backed up for about a five-minute delay. nothing bad. it's improved. moving along and taking a look at northbound 101. that's not all that good. 280 is backed up all the -- almost all the way out to 19th avenue which is term. the commute on the peninsula, southbound 01 -- southbound 101 at 3rd. there a crash there. if you do it use 280 instead. here's steve. >> we do have mostly clear skies. juflt a few little clouds around. a little breeze, let's see if the tree is rustling in the wind. sunny for most already, temperatures on the chilly side, a lot of 40s we're seeing low 50s but we've already started to warm up. but another system, not as strong as the one we had saturday is diving into the northern part of the state. it takes one more system to get that through. today may be just a tiny bit warmer. 60s, 70s and rather breezy. the 40s are giving way to 50 to 57. napa and santa rosa were both down to 44. 57 oakland, beshly. san jose, 56. tahoe, 37. now they were 33.

>> no, i'm not, sal. yes, i am. >> that was funny. >> well, i heard you say and our last and i thought uh-oh we better get going. >> well here we go, steve. >> thank you. oh, my gosh i'm on. good morning. we have another big fog bank although there are signs it will be warmer today. but temperatures yesterday -- seriously how cool can we get in august? yesterday was one of those that's how cool we can get. low on the temperatures and i don't see much changing here except inland areas will warm up today. the stronger piece of that has moved off to the east. so by default, we'll get a warm up. should be closer to 70 degrees in san fransisco and that's not happening. we did have temperatures so cool yesterday. santa rosa was only 70. walnut creek 72. i would think that's a record low temperature. that was a record cool-high temperature for the day. we'll go 66 on the high today. but speaking of san jose, it's been a long time since they've had some warm weather. the last time they had an 85- degree high was

let's go to sal. you have been extra busy and there is some scary stuff going on in san jose. >> that's right. we are checking the south bay, dave and claudine, we are also checking the bay bridge. that has been crowded. we are going to go there first looking at 280 -- 80, pardon me, coming up at the bay bridge toll plaza, backed up for about a 12 to 15 minute delay. you start counting at the very end of the line before you actually make it on to the bridge. then another five to ten minutes on the span itself. moving along to the commute here on the nimitz freeway southbound 880 at 10 isson there is a crash there, northbound an accident in union city on the shoulder near al vair rad 0 kneels so watch for slow traffic there and across the peninsula the traffic is okay on 101. let's take a look at 280. dave mentioned the south bay. 280 is now getting slow getting into the west valley although i doubt this has anything to do with the fires, just a lot of people slowing down on the way up to highway 17 an

thank you, sal. show this you couple things going on. area of low pressure is going to dig in tomorrow and it will bring a good cooling trend tomorrow. today i think inland areas will warm up a bit. and all that what we call the monsoon season down into arizona has been filtering into southern california and southern nevada. you can see if you have travel plans maybe down to palm springs or l.a. , san diego or las vegas, it's kind of hot and humid. not just the dry heat. for us slight warming trend today. by the coast it won't matter. i don't think around the bay. but inland the sea breeze cut in half and there's slightly warmer air aloft. slightly warmer weather for a few. not much. san francisco 53. 55 and 60. high of 62 degrees. still going to be below average along the coast and probably around the bay. fog, some mist and then sunny. cool to warm. upper 80s to low 90s well inland but still 60s and 70s. around the bay 59 san jose. oakland berkeley running one degree warmer than liver march concord

let's go right back to sal. see what's happening on the roads. we're checking bay area bridges, dave and tori. we're looking at all of the crossings. we might encounter some fog on the richmond bridge. traffic is moving well. bay bridge backed up for about a ten-minute wait. san mateo bridge no major backups. it looks good on the golden gate bridge. here's steve. >>> sal, thank you. >> you are welcome. >> low clouds, fog, some of it burning away from the coast. the fog that lifted yesterday. i mean, you could see forever. forever. once the fog burns off, but a lot of people along the city and the coast were tweeting me saying i can see mount tam! i can see mount mount diablo! i haven't seen that in weeks. today, they are obscured with fog. high pressure is built behind the system we had yesterday. 55 in san francisco. we'll go 58 at 9:00. 60 at noon. 64 for a high after yesterday's 65. we were 66 on tuesday. average, 68. so still below average. 60s, 70s close to the bay. what's interesting, though, is that temperatures yesterday will bump up inla

check in with sal. currently it's getting slow on highway 4 in contra costa county, sal. >> it is. all of a sudden we have a big crowd heading there westbound coming in over the pass. slow in antioch as well. slow over to concord. if you have business in concord i would say slower than it normally is on westbound highway 4. we don't have any major problems. there was an accident or slow traffic according to one of our traffic watchers but no accidents. move along and take a look at 237. also some stop and go traffic there. i see an emergency vehicle in the back up and we're wondering if there is a crash just westbound going there. and this morning's commute on the livermore valley looking pretty good. a little bit of slow traffic at the dublin grade. on the in the meantime freeway we do not have a big back up developing yet. steve, ryan has 3 million followers on twitter. >> that's only about 20 more than i have. >> right. uh-huh. >> thank you very much. fog and received some tweets especially in the city i love that. also photos showing how yesterday the fog had lifted. you can se
