Outside and heres a live look at the sensors coming through tracy and the Altamont Pass. The stall at north flynn is cleared from the chp reports. We still have that high wind advisory in effect and the commute is really beginning to slow passing 205 on to westbound 580 so the heaviest traffic is from Mountain House in tracy continuing to north flynn. More chp wind advisories still in effect for a number of bridges including the bay bridge for just about all of them this morning especially your east west bridges. So again no delay so far at the toll plaza. Back to you guys. Thank you. Breaking news in san jose where crews are investigating an earlymorning fire. Kpix 5s kiet do
