mid and upper 70s and the afternoon we'll be into the 80s. it will be warm, but stopping at about 90 degrees this afternoon, 1:00 in the mid 80s. and we're going to keep the clouds at the coast by 4:00. it's another nice afternoon but certainly cooler than yesterday. that trend continues. i'll tell you when the temperatures will bottom ou. amanda. >> hi, lisa. yeah, that commute along the altamont pass, you can see it's already being reflected in our overall map. otherwise it is pretty calm and quiet. but i will take you into hayward. southbound 880 before industrial parkway. we are noticing a two car crash, but there are no delays. there however, you will notice debris in the two middle lanes. i'll get you to your drive times. that 880 fremont to san jose you see at 14 minutes. albany to the maze four minutes 101 to cupertino. that will take you ten minutes. and then to the south bay 101. and in the 880 overcrossing getting a little busy, but not too bad as to be expected here at the top of the hour, let's get back to the
