5:02 am
warm-up this week and this morning we are waking up to the marine layer filling the bay area. cool cloudy conditions off near hayward and fremont until around 8:00 a.m. then we start to see that cloud layer pull back along the coast and at that point we're going to be left with sunnier skies off in the east bay. take a look at this though. off into the east bay we go, later today, we're going to be sitting close to the 70s and 80s. anywhere from concord into antioch and actually antioch is not teen topping off at 80 today. still holding on tight to the0s near half-moon bay and 60s returning into san francisco this afternoon and day-by-day continue to get warmer and warmer and let's head down to san jose. 74 degrees as we head into this afternoon. take a look at this. i want to drop this map and talk more about what we can expect heading into this week. let's use san jose as an example. 70s today and 80s in the next couple of days and then more warm weather right around the corner as we head into next week. it's important to note the summer-like weather pattern, it's right around the corner. so enjoy this cool day while we have it. because there's some big changes on way for us. max?
5:03 am
all right, thanks jess. live outside this morning to take a look at traffic now. to the golden gate bridge we go. it did just celebrate its 87th birthday by the way. as you can see not much movement right now. a few cars coming in moving pretty quickly. if marin county to san francisco. to the san mateo bridge now. clear conditions and going in both directions. all approaches from 880 and 101 are open and no major delays so far for you this morning. at the bay bridge, metering lights currently off. they will turn on in the next 30 minutes and that's typically when we see the drive thicken up for a little bit. so right now, pretty easy drive into the city if you were coming from the east bay. reed? all right, max, thank you for that. police in san jose want to know why they found a woman dead inside a home after an hours long standoff. so here's the back story here. officers got the call first yesterday while most of us were just sitting down to dinner and somebody reported a shooting down the street from san jose high school on north 24th. when they got there, a man refused
5:04 am
to come outside for hours and when he finally did come out. that's when police say they found the woman dead inside the home. so far this morning, police have not said who she is. looking live at the san francisco courthouse. where the man who attacked nancy pelosi's husband paul will find out his final federal sentence. we say final because last week, the judge overseeing david depape's trial made an error in a sentencing hearing when she didn't allow the law -- and give depape the opportunity to make a statement before sentencing. today a kind of do-over. in the first hearing he got a sentence of 50 years. so today we could hear from him for the first time and we'll be there. another court case coming to closure in new york. closing arguments in former president donald trump's hush money trial. jurors will decide whether trump falsified business records ahead of the 2016 presidential election. been a big one after 20

5:11 am
ill get tons of calls and i have, you know, people in the community that will point me in the right direction. so yeah i'm not by myself. >> reporter: he says he doesn't mind picking up thetic traffic slack. he is just happy to see the unit up and rolling again. >> well, sergeant green says he should be getting some reinforcements soon and antioch pd hopes to have a second motorcycle officer. we understand sometime in the next few weeks. honoring the fallen. the bay area tributes to our heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice. coming up. plus -- this could be burnt as fuel. this could be eaten. >> still making us laugh. even when he's gone. when we come back, we look back on the life and legacy of college basketball and nba legend bill walton. speaking of treasures, this is the view from treasure island. good morning,
