Congressman Elijah Cummings of maryland has died at the age of morning. Lets check in with steve. A little more than drizzle out there. Light rain for some. The windshield wipers were going bigtime. Sal, i hope you were out there. Yes, sir. I gotcha. Does not much but what is there, lets get to it. Its hard to pick up on radar so its very low level but some streets are wet. 80 coming from albany to oakland and maybe where you are as well. The system is moving through and we see clearing after that rapidly and then we see the breeze pick up. Not too bad yet but it will get blustery later today. 50s on the temperatures. 60 in san jose. Look for a morning drizzle giving way to mostly sunny skies. The system yesterday was a very fall like pattern but today 50s, 60s and 70s. A little bit of rain in the morning and then out of here. You heard the. I heard you. Thats the first thing i thought about what i got into my car and i saw the missed or whatever. People are going to have a hard time,
There. One is the regular commute at the bay bridge is getting busy if you are coming up on 6 00. We can go to the bay bridge and you can see that traffic is going to be busy which is very typical. I want to tell you about it anyway. Then we have to go to the far east bay to the byron area because there is a grass fire. Camino pablo. There is one way Traffic Control in the area. If you take bascom road you will see it and its going to add to your delays getting out of the byron area. If you are driving out of the tracy area you will see that traffic here is going to be okay if you are driving through. I want to mention on the Golden Gate Bridge approach, southbound 101, there is a crash just outside the Robin Williams tunnel. Southbound onetoone traffic is slow and if you are coming to the Golden Gate Bridge need to add an extra 10 or 15 minutes at least. Lets go back to the desk. Today marks 30 years since one of the most devastating earthquakes hit the bay area or in this country for
Oakland where the governor and other state leaders unveiled that new program. Reporter they had a public unveiling and a News Conference where they talked about the new earthquake Early Warning system via that my shake app. The media still here, about to leave the pier where we are. The app called, my shake, is free to download and was developed by uc berkeleys seismologists and also from around the west coast. University of washington and oregon as well. It will not be able to predict . But the app can alert users to take cover and prepare seconds before shaking, the shaking of a major quake reaches them. The system uses sensors buried in the ground across the state and it detects the start of earthquake, calculates the location and intensity and send a warning to your phone if youre in an area where shaking is likely to happen. It works similar to the amber alert system using the same wireless notification system to send out those warnings. At the unveiling and this News Conference,
Oakland and out to fairfield. 40s and 50s on the temps with a blustery day on the peninsula and mid50s for everybody. Woodside 51 and 57 over to fremont with mostly sunny skies and breezy to windy at times with a cooler pattern the next couple of days and we will see temperatures holding where they are today into friday and then by the weekend we will see warmer patterns. 60s and low 70s. Sal is here and what do you focus on first . The east bay commute. We went on the air at 4 00 a. M. And it was wet in some areas but now it has dried off in some spots. As steve said, the wet weather has moved out and it may be damp but it did kind of miss the morning commute and that is good for us. If you are driving on the east bay commute, 580 at the tracy triangle is very, very slow because of earlier crashes and we also had slow traffic on vasco road because of an earlier grass fire near Camino Diablo with the fire out now but it did damage with traffic on 280 and san jose slow.
