In addition to that on the high rise the lights are out so caltrans confirmed that with us a little earlier this morning. Heres a live look. Traffic coming through the dublin interchange. The busiest roads right now are from the Altamont Pass 205 to vasco and then we see things improve. We got flooding reports in marin county once again. Southbound 101 at lucky drive coming into larkspur. Use mass transit. Everything looks good. You can stay off the wet roads. Bart systemwide on time. It is friday so we want to know what drives you crazy. We got an email from a viewer who said, people who drive with their dogs on their laps. We probably have all seen that. Dogs should be placed in the back seat he writes, not on the laps of the driver. Thanks. Dwd, driving with dog, for now theres actually no specific law against it. But some have said it can be as dangerous as texting or even drinking and driving. The state legislature outlawed in 2008 in governor schwarzenegger vetoed it. If you put your great dane on your lap, police may be able to bust you for distracted driving. 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. Thats it for your kcbs traffic. More on your wet commute to work. Heres lawrence. We have some showers out there now if you are headed out the door. Doppler radar showing you some pretty good downpours right now. Looks like the heaviest will come through this morning. We can see those showers sliding through along the peninsula, heavier rainfall toward fremont right now. We are seeing some good downpours there. South bay youre seeing the showers kick just to the east of san jose. Another round moving in along the coastline into half moon bay. Parts of south San Francisco and up into San Francisco itself proper. And into oakland. So we are not done with the rainfall. Just more widely scattered into the afternoon, scattered showers and a couple of rainbows outside. Partly cloudy skies though in the latter part of the day then sunny and dry and warmer for the weekend. Low pressure going to kind of skirt along the coastline so we are going to see these showers rotating up into the bay area for today. Things unsettled around much of the state so if you are planning on traveling be prepared for wet weather. Even a dusting of snow across the high country, too. Heres a computer model showing you the system sliding through this morning. Watch, you see it rotate through with that area of low pressure moving by sliding showers into the bay area this afternoon. Then i think as we get into the evening, things start to calm down. Skies clear out but the fog moves in along the coastline. Beautiful weather throughout the weekend, temperatures today in the 50s and 60s. Sunrise time 6 50. Sunset 7 35. Looks like we are in for a gorgeous weekend as High Pressure builds in. Some of those temperatures pushing 80 degrees by sunday. I think the offshore winds kicking in sunday night and into monday. Thats when those temperatures are expected to soar into the 80s inland. Even temperatures near 70 at the coastline line. Cooling down wednesday and thursday. Im thinking you took the wrong week off. No kidding fun week around the bay area. Thunderstorms and rain and what was i doing . I was at disneyland. You were at the happiest place on earth. Thank you. It is time now for another hint in wheres roberta . Okay of a few minutes ago, roberta, you were in a pedicab. Give us another clue. I think i know where you are right now anyway. Reporter good morning, gang.

Well, it was great having them help us out with the story and its a picturesque area and a tourists dream really to be able to participate. Reporter it was my dream, too.

And its not your average april fools prank. How one gesture touched the hearts of californias homeless. ,,,,,,,, this is the name your price tool. It gives you options based on your budget its a piece of cake. I was told there would be cake. Get a free quote at progressive. Com. Lets check your pollen report today. We have showers this morning helping to hold it down a little bit. More sunshine on the weekend. The pollen count will be high through sunday and monday. Slow traffic now once again in antioch. The commute has begun there as you pass a street and traffic is sluggish into concord. Travel times plus mass transit on this wet commute. Traffic coming up. Oaklands reputation is not quite what the city would like. Oakland the crime rate is high from wha i hear. This morning, visit oakland is putting billboards up over downtown portland, oregon. Step one in a new campaign to get northwest tourists to consider making a pit stop right here in oakland. Oakland you dont know is the name of the campaign. Because we feel a lot of people dont know oakland. One major challenge for oakland, where tourists will stay. The city only has about 4,000 hotel rooms but it has plans to build more soon and those portlanders we spoke to say they will now consider stopping by that east bay city. Some people down on their luck were the lucky recipients of a good deed. A Southern California homeless shelter was transformed into a five star restaurant. The april fools day gesture was actually a gift from comedian greg benson known for his videos on youtube. A professional chef, servers and musicians surprised people with an elegant atmosphere and fancy food. Homeless people are not treated nicely very often. And they dont get the respect they deserve. To be treated in this manner with such Great Respect was a beautiful thing to watch. 90 of the people at the shelter do have jobs. Many said it was nice to it be rewarded at the end of the day. They actually do not have jobs there. So it was a nice gift. 90 do not have jobs. 5 55. Next half hour authorities are investigating a fire near Childrens Hospital in oakland.

The executives stance against gay marriage years ago came back to haunt him. In fairfield, Law Enforcement officers wounded two brothers in shootings half hour apart on north texas street. The brothers are suspected in two separate attempted murder cases from february. And arson investigators are now looking for the cause of a fire that damaged offices for Childrens Hospital oakland. The fire started outside the building about 2 30 this morning. And lets check in with liz on the morning commute. Is it friday light . Well, no. Unfortunately, this wet weather is causing more longer delays than usual across the bay area including the bay bridge. We have been through this drill before. You know whats happening now right now bay bridge. Not seeing the ponding any longer in the middle lanes. Drivers are going so slow. Were not seeing flashes in the middle lanes. Traffic is backed up in the cash and the fastrak lanes all the way to that first overcrossing. And then it looks like speeds improve from the incline to treasure island. Heres a live look outside in oakland where there is so far no delay in the northbound lanes heading into your downtown oakland exits and southbound still moving okay into milpitas. Thats a check of your kcbs traffic. More on your wet drive. Heres lawrence. A lot of rainfall around the bay area this
