We have a crash reported midspan just about the highrise and you do see the brake tapping on the flat section. No sign lit up but the bridge crew heading up or someone around the surface lane. You could avoid the san mateo bridge and you have time because youre watching me at home. Head to the dumbarton bridge or the bay bridge where there are no metering lights now. South on the nimitz more traffic and north on the nimitz around alvarado out of fremont and in toward union city there is a crash ma may be blocking your left lane so be be careful. More detail from chp. And overall traffic flow is nicely. If you didnt hear earlier, north 17 all lanes did reopen after the deadly crash that happened this morning.

How small is that house . Wow and we are going to have some nice weather this weekend after all of the storms rolled through yesterday. But were starting out chilly this morning. And so as you get ready to step out, this is what youll feel. 39 degrees in san jose and in palo alto. As well as San Francisco now. Were at 34 in livermore and 35 now in napa. And we will see a few clouds moving through today. And also those chilly temperatures. You need to bundle up if youre about to step out of the door in oakland, heading to the fruitvale b. A. R. T. Station, expect low 40s through 8 00 and then low 50s for today. As we see the sun kind of peeking out every now and then. So the storm moved out but still light snow over the sierra. A heads up if you are traveling in that direction. The snow is tapering off but the roads may still be slippery. And then looking at the legislativ at the satellite, this will bring the bay area some clouds. So looking at improved conditions if you are going to the sierra, tahoe report showing that well see temperatures today in squaw valley reaching about 32 degrees. And then well see some low 40s for the rest of the weekend. And as we make plans were also going to be watching that storm system that will be moving closer if youre going farther to the north, maybe up around seattle youll see rain and snow there as we look hourbyhour. A lot of clouds throughout the day on saturday and sunday. But that rain will be holding off. So good news for the womens march tomorrow happening in walnut creek. Expect the temperatures in the low 40s during the morning so add layers and warming up into the low 50s. The rest of the forecast looks great here for this time of the year. And well also get another chance of rain on tuesday as we head back to work but well see the rain holding off for the long holiday. If youre off on Martin Luther king jr. Day expect highs around 60 degrees. And some peeks of sunshine. Mike, you were seeing flashing lights. Just saw them appear. So we have to start the report with that. This is west 92, there are the flashing lights and the service lane, that is what is going on across 92. Around the highrise is where i think there was a crash. No specifics in the chp report there. Again the flashing lights just a blichg a blinker for a delivery vehicle but again tracking this across 92. That is the big delay from hayward toward foster city. And the alternate is the dumbarton bridge and a smoother drive. Northbound on 880 you may still have a crash in lanes. Your right lane or left lanes were the ones reported affected. Not much of a build. There is slowing heading up toward union city. On the peninsula, everything is just fine and as we zoom out we do have an issue north 880 continued to slow toward 23rd. I showed you that just before the break. The backup starts back here well our camera seems to be out now taking a vacation early. But that is the slower drive from the coliseum all the way up toward 23rd and that is slowing down through this stretch of oakland. But west 580 very clear. And once you get past the scene, there is no backup at the bay bridge toll plaza. A threeday weekend this weekend so a lot of folks do tend to get out of the area early as on happens. The rest of the bay has a smooth drive. Back to you. Thank you, mike. Coming up next, a neurovirus outbreak is wreaking havoc on visitors at yosemite. What still remains a maeft this morning.
