The water is still on the bay, a light breeze in the air a nice night to take a onehour chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow forecasting firm home tonight. So whats it going to look like for mothers day. At this mothers day is going to kind of right in the middle here is not to be too hot, but it might be a little cool especially near the coastline will see much cooler temperatures over the weekend out there right now mostly clear skies. Thats the way its going to stay said ab couple batches of fog moving in along the coast line temperatures right now it is still warm in spots how about this 77 right now in concord 79 in antioch still 73 and almost 70 in san jose in fremont 67 degrees in redwood city and cooled off down to San Francisco along the coastline with temperatures there in the 50s. And around the bay area tomorrow will notice some changes near the coastline maybe couple patches of fog bumping up along the coast so could be 70 downtown San Francisco but to get to the sunset youre probably and low 60s and that sea breeze up 59 degrees sitka 63 in half moon bay, 71 and sunny and beautiful in millbrae 75 burlingame 8th, ivan redwood city, 86 in mount view the south bay starting to get a little hot 91 in san jose and 94 in little more 93 in pleasanton 92 degrees a walnut creek 77 in san leandro 79 in berkeley and oakland, 91 degrees in pittsburgh 90 in santa rosa about 77 degrees mill valley. So certainly some very toasty temperatures away from the coastline, but we will start to cool down on saturday mothers daw and looking good but on some patchy fog temperatures back in the 70s in the warmer spots, good thing is at least were not making a rain of mothers day theres a chance of showers by monday. Thank you lawrence during this pandemic traffic has been pretty much nonexistent in much of the bay area with a majority of people working from home staying home. Now a new study suggesting that after the shelterinplace orders are lifted. The morning commute will be even worse than it was before specifically the study by Vanderbilt University projects. Commute will increase on average by about 42 minutes. We talked with said the Bay Area Toll Authority on predictions of when traffic when people are allowed to return to work with the traffic will look like. So look i think of the bay area does well for itself and the economy comes back in the jobs are here. Well we are going to experience some significant congestion on the freeways, its kind of a good problem to have compared to other kinds of problems albino that can sound a bit ironic. But if we look at some major transit corridors. You know for example going to San Francisco in the bay bridge corridor 60 or more of the people write something other than a single occupancy vehicle. They ride bart. Right there is they ride buses. I think the commute from. Lets say a render to open that thats where your job is or San Francisco. You know we dont have another cold a car tunnel to campbell. The fact that barr and scary more people across the cordon cars did i think that same is true coming from or in San Francisco coming up the consulate. San francisco of course on a lot of places in the bay area people are accustomed to driving. And they think everythings going to be fine and it largely will be but i would urge people to think even Something Like the first traffic jam people often experience is taking her kids to school. And a lot of kids get to school on buses and if theres a social distancing requirement. Were going to have a different kind of way that kids are going to school so i think this problem americas itself in a number of different ways. And another reason for increased congestion a lot of people may be hesitant to take Public Transportation once the shelterinplace orders are lifted and that could lead to a lot more people driving themselves to work, however the study does not address the fact that a lot of companies maybe wont be sending their employees back to work right away as many will continue to work from home.
