Starting today, gasoline and diesel producers will have to either supply lower carbon fuels or buy pollution permits for the Greenhouse Gases created when the fuel is burned. Either way, fuel producers will have to pay more meaning low gas prices go up. Going to run around and get all three vehicles filled up and go into the new year with full gas tanks. Not clear how much gas prices will rise or exactly when they will increase. Certainly been nice though. I just mentioned to you, 28 bucks to fill up my honda. I should have done that yesterday.

We have better news for the 580 drive. The chp has cleared up this mornings accident and reopened the macarthur boulevard onramp to east 580. Thats where we had this mornings accident involving a car hitting a power pole and that one fatality. Again, all lanes are now open and traffic is now moving through the area. We are going to stay in the oakland area along 880. This is a live shot of 880 as it rolls through high street with no big delays. Chp reporting no major accidents right now for bay area roadways. And i80, earlier this morning overnight folks were making their way home from their new years eve celebrations, theres actually traffic at the bay bridge toll plaza. Right now, all of that is gone and westbound traffic is okay heading into San Francisco. Metering lights are off. You have seen the signs posted throughout the bay area, the Golden Gate Bridge will be shut down in both directions the weekend of january 10. This is so that crews can install the movable median barrier. 101 good both directions. No delays for the san mateo bridge. Thats moving well in both directions of highway 92.

Very rarely do we get to take a birdseye view from the transamerica building looking out towards the beautiful city of San Francisco especially at this hour when its this dark. Were usually fogged in. But this is a live weather camera and you can see the bright lights of the city by the bay, the city of San Francisco, where currently it is 45 degrees. Across the bay in oakland, it is 44. To the south in san jose, checking in slightly above freezing, and to the north over the Golden Gate Bridge, santa rosa now at 28 degrees. And this is why we have that freeze warning in effect until 9 a. M. We have several prolonged hours of temperatures below freezing so you have to protect your pipes, pets and plants. Frost advisory next to the bay. So out the door this morning, we have some areas of frost. But what a difference a day makes. The winds are now calm in Mountain View. We have winds up to 13 at sfo. Fourmileperhour winds in san rafael but it doesnt take much of a wind to factor in a wind chill this morning that makes it feel like its in the low 20s in the san rafael area. As we take a live look out towards sfo so far no reports of any local airport delays. Clear and cold crisp out the door this morning. This afternoon bright sunshine and friday a carbon copy from today which is that cold arctic air continues to plunge south out of the British Columbia area.

By the way right now at this hour, it is one above zero in truckee. 59 degrees in monterey. Whoa that woke frank up. Temperatures locally in the 50s just slightly below average for this time of the year. The winds out of the northeast five to ten miles per hour. Your extended forecast calls for each and every day temperatures pretty seasonal. Then we bump into monday and tuesday. We realize high temperatures in the mid50s and 60s. And boy, that becomes a little bit above average for this time of the year and whats notable about this sevenday forecast, guys . No rain. Thats right. Im a quick learner. Theres a slight chance on january 9 but right now its just too far out there to be solid on it. We had quite a bit in december so a little bit of a break is okay. But its got to start coming eventually. All right. Thank you, roberta. 5 16 now.
