Reporter over the next five years all tolls will be transitioned to electronic tolls. This device is attached to my personal credit card, so i know it is the year 2019, but lets face it, not everyone has a credit card. The Golden Gate Bridge transitioned to all electronic tolling in 2013. We wanted to find out how it is working there. If you do not have a fast track and you cross the bridge, you will receive an invoice by mail to the registered address for the vehicle. One of our viewers, kendra thompson, asked on our abc 7 News Facebook page, what about people who rent cars visiting from out of state . I personally went to a Car Rental Company to find out what their policy was. Okay. So i found out that the big rental companies do have a tolling program, but it comes with a fee. So in this case if you just drive through, you would pay a 3. 95 surcharge toll. As the district told us, there are cheaper options. You can do it online. You can pay by phone. Reporter another viewer, andrea takamoto asked, what about the people who work in the toll booths . Are they going to be out of work . The short answer is they will have other jobs like toll takers at the Golden Gate Bridge.

Meteorologist lisa argen is tracking our accuweather forecast with this weekend ahead. Hopefully it will be nice for everybody out there. Lisa. Good morning to you, jobina. You know what, we are going to cool down. It will feel a little bit like fall out there, the winds picking up out of the northwest. Starting with live doppler 7, everyone foggy except around concord. You can see not quite into our east bay valleys, but we have a dry cold front moving through the northern part of the state. When we get behind that, that is going to allow for the gusty winds. Right now temperatures are cool up north, in the low to mid 50s. 53 in cloverdale. Good morning, santa rosa, 55 for you. It is in the 60s in the east bay. 62, concord. Oakland at 63. 61 in san jose. So looking at the visibility reduced one to three miles from santa rosa to petaluma. Elsewhere looking pretty good, but high and mid level clouds will be with us throughout the day as we go through the afternoon. At 3 00 we certainly clear out. You can see the sunshine in the north bay, but holding on to some clouds around the bay, and certainly looking at the northwesterly winds coming into play. By tomorrow, bright sunshine and a calmer afternoon ahead. So looking at some of our highlights this morning, the cloudy skies, maybe patchy drizzle. It will be cool for summer standards with the gusty winds and another warm day. I should say a warmer day tomorrow, on sunday. Here is a look at what you can expect throughout the afternoon. 7 00 were pretty calm. Anywhere from the light winds to some gusty winds in upper elevations. By 3 00 we are looking at winds over 20 Miles Per Hour, certainly along the coast. And then to the east it is going to get breezy and, in fact, windy in some of the very windy areas along the shoreline. 32mileperhour wind gusts around point reyes. The north bay, up to 25. The good news is theyre not offshore winds, theyre onshore winds, so relative humidity should be fair for this afternoon. But you know it is the driest time of the year, so always watching it when it gets so breezy. As we go into monday temperatures will climb into the mid 80s. Coming up, three to four degrees. Looking like we will stay that way on tuesday, but by wednesday High Pressure builds in and thats going to allow for a return to summer warmth. In fact, we will see numbers in the low 90s inland and across the bay, even some upper 70s to low 70s in the city. So if you like it cooler, the next couple of days are a few.
