fall on monday, the holiday itself, with snow showers here and there through early next week. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. the next seven days for you. sun and clouds today. dry but cloudier tomorrow. then that rain returns here with winds on saturday. then we're in and out of those showers through the middle part of next week. gloria. >> yeah, you know, we're continuing to follow this deadly crash on the bay bridge, and we've just gotten new information. they are expecting the bridge to be cleared within about a half hour. but if you look at our live video right now from our roof camera, there is still plenty of flashing lights out there, plenty of activity out there. and this is really impacting those people who are leaving the city going towards the east bay right now. the backup is to 101. so we're going to get a closer look at where this is happening. this is over on eastbound 80 before treasure island. and right now traffic is really crawling because they have blocked three right lanes. so traffic is really getting by with just two lanes open right now, down to six miles per hour. the backup there is to the 101
