thank you for joining us this morning. it is wednesday, may 29th. >> let's get started. >> this job is actually barely minimum wage. after you -- after expenses. >> right now i don't have a job, that's the only reason i'm driving and i'm in-between jobs. >> it's hard enough for some people to get work but could it become even more difficult? artificial intelligence is here to stay. but at what cost? a debate comes to san francisco this morning. i think one of the things that's most important about this is that the community has ownership of what we're doing here. you know, it's not just me. it's for the city. it's for the people. >> painting their way to a bay

area bounce-back. the san jose community coming together to help breathe the life back into the city. if not me, then who? partnership not me that helps change the behavior and how they think, then who. >> a bay area trailblazer representing her community while changing the landscape of leadership. >> we love leaders in the bay area. and highlighting them whether they're change makers in san jose or our friend who's bringing big sports to the bay area. we love that. good morning, everybody, i'm reed cowan. >> good morning, i'm gianna franco. speaking of sports i spent some time at levi's stadium yesterday. it was really interesting on a field trip and learned a lot about how it was built and the engineering. not so great on the roadways right now unfortunately. a look at traffic conditions as you travel in san jose this morning. what you are seeing is a live look of an overturned big rig hauling thousands of strawberries. this is located at 101 and 880. both

northbound fors are completely shut down until they get this cleared out of the lanes and a bit of a backup as the morning commute starts to get really busy later on and this is going take a while for them to upright the big rig and clear it out of lanes. in the meantime give yourself some extra time as we travel through there. i can show you a couple of different alternate routes on the maps. you can see this is where the trouble spot is. the northbound side closed as well as 880 and 101. this is only the connector. so use 87 or 280 as an alternate. let's go live outside and take a look from the view from our salesforce tower camera looking east. test going to be hot up in the east bay approaching the midweek but also talk about the wind, jess. we don't know if that overturned big rig full of semis went over because of wind but certainly with the high-profile vehicles in the wind it's something to think about. >> winds have been a concern for us every single day this week and this afternoon hours especially along the coastline. where bodega bay is a good

example. anywhere up to around 45-mile-per-hour wind gusts. let's take a quick look at what's going on for us this morning before we dive into the winds this afternoon. we are waking up to 40s and 50s throughout the bay area. off to a nice cool start but lasting into this afternoon, boy, do we have some big changes right around the corner for us. daytime highs today, they are on the rise. some of our biggest weather headlines today, actually have to do with this gradual warming trend that we're all going to be experiencing. take san francisco for example. just two days ago we were close to the 0s along the compost and the peninsula and now in the 70s this afternoon. now we warm right back up into the upper 80s throughout our inland areas and this is just the beginning. tomorrow will be even warmer and we continue to watch that trend getting closer into our weekend forecast. all the way down into fremont and livermore now we're splitting the 70s and 80s a similar trend up near napa this afternoon. but those gusty conditions are still going to stick around for us looking at models this morning, it's not that bad. and the early morning hours, but into the afternoon, along our coast, we can see anywhere up to around 30 to 40-mile-per-hour winds again and i'll have more

on that in just a bit. reed? >> all right. jess, thank you. the man convicted in the hammer attack on the husband of former house speaker nancy pelosi says he's sorry for the crime that ended with a 30 year prison sentence. david depape who told the judge that after breaking into the pelosi home back in 2022, he should have left. when he realized nancy pelosi wasn't there. but instead, he stayed and caused paul pelosi to have a skull fracture. police arrested him and in november, a jury convicted depape with assault and attempted kidnapping. so that closes out the federal case. but now depape faces state charges. opening statements in that case happen this morning. another big case is an old case, remember this one? the man convicted of murdering his wife and unborn son. well, he's fighting to clear his name and a san mateo county courtroom this morning. you are looking at scott peterson there. financed to life in prison without parole in the deaths of laci peterson and son

connor in 2002. now the l.. a innocence project argues dna evidence will clear him who is currently serving a life sentence at mule creek state prison in amador county. jurors in the hush money case against former president donald trump will begin deliberations. the central question for them, did donald trump falsify business records to cover-up an alleged affair with a former adult film star? if found guilty, donald trump faces 34 felony counts. by the way he denies all accusations made in that case. coming up in less than 30 minutes, we'll take you live outside that new york courtroom with more on what a potential verdict could that's look like. gianna? me people are worried about losing an important transit option in antioch. the platform in downtown antioch is set to shut down next year. to make way for the opening of a new station. in oakley. wilson walker report there's concern the closure could cost the city

in more ways than one. >> last time it came it was like hearing god. >> reporter: april hill has come to the train station to send a visiting friend back to the san joaquin valley and she knows it probably won't be long before antioch says fare well to its downtown train station. the plan is to open another stop to the east and downtown oakley and when that stop is open, the antioch stop will be decommissioned. hill says it has already been scaled back to the bare minimum. >> yeah, a few years. they have gotten rid of the benches and the -- ticketing kiosk and it looks like. doesn't -- it's i mean i wasn't really like really nice before. but now it's even -- emptier. [ laughter ] >> reporter: for starter, it's a loss for antioch passengers and a loss for a downtown which many see as improving. and then there's a potentially larger cost. >> our entire vision for downtown was shaped around this

amtrak station. >> reporter: mayor lamar hernandez-thorpe is taking about how state and federal dollars for artable housing are often tied to transit corridors. >> it literally cuts developmenters off certain funding they can get from both the federal and state funding because we will no longer have a major transportation hub in downtown antioch. >> reporter: the regional rail commission says it's been planning the move since 2017 citing issues with homelessness and vandalism. the commission also says the distance between antioch and oakley doesn't allow for both stops. >> you know, we've talked to our congressmen. they're involved. they've talked to our assembly member and he's involved but the end of the day this is not an amtrak issue. this is a san joaquin joint powers authority. they have the power to reopen and reactivate the straination. >> reporter: local citizens have been building a campaign to stop the closure but even the mayor says that at this point, a change of direction is

unlikely. >> i don't think we can probably change their mind. i think they changed their mind a few years ago. >> reporter: now antioch is trying to set up a new kind of transit hub to maintain eligibility for those housing dollars. what is the time frame here? well, amtrak thinks construction will start in oakley sometime of option of this year, that will take about a year. barring any unforeseen sixes it looks like antioch's lustrine will leave the station sometime in last 2025. and looking live now at sfo. a virgin atlantic flight heading to san francisco from london turned around midair because of a cracked windshield. that's according to the chronicle. the pilot reported it somewhere between green land and iceland three hours into the flight. the plane landed safely at heathrow tuesday morning. the airline apologized to passengers for the delay and inconvenience. >> kind of like having your kid go off to college right? a stanford born space kithara reaches new heights in more ways than one. where a

digital camera and this was designed by stanford scientists. the pictures this camera will take will revolutionize astronomy and our understanding of all things above our heads. but before taking pictures of outer space, the camera had a very long and risky journey on planet earth. it went all the way from the bay area to the andes mountains in chile and of course this is some pretty important and pretty delicate equipment to move. pretty expensive too. brian hackney shows you how bay area ingenuity made it happen. >> three,. >> reporter: inside this room, a world's largest digital camera is finishing off ten years of construction. destination? universe. margo lopez has spent five years preparing for one day. the day the camera is finally shaped off. >> i'm personally really interested in this project because it really phyllodes me like a progression in astro physics and for the sake of

curiosity. >> reporter: but first, it somehow has to get from stanford to this remote mountain top in chile. >> kind of like having your kid go off to college right? excite being a lot orphaning tithe that goes along with it too. >> reporter: travis lang is the project manager and this is not like shipping something on amazon. >> all the -- all color coded and a whole bunch of different color codes and that helps us when we're at the airports so that things get on the correct trucks. >> we have a number of trucks coming the -- day one we're going to have six trucks come and we're going to load all of the crates, two of the containers and get them all toth airport that day. then the next day at 4:00 in the morning, we need to load the camera container on to a truck and take it to the airport. >> reporter: and this is the lsd camera. we were the last to get a look at the camera inside its 20-foot shipping container. sitting on springs to cushion the ride. >> all of this equipment is going to travel on a 747 frighter.

>> reporter: that meant a late night trip to sfo. maybe the riskiest part of the journey on 280 to the airport. unloading at sfo? free loading on the a 747 cargo jet. liftoff for a ten hour flight to santiago. and landing at 4:10 a.m. at the airport in chile. the camera container loaded on to its own transport vehicle. and then nine trucks drove in a slow convoy to the guarded gate at the base of the observatory. >> it's at that point we turned off of the main highway and it is 35-kilometer dirt road up to the summit facility. that -- we would go very, very slow. >> reporter: the trip up took five hours. and after the camera was pulled out, and when it gets set up, it will take the most detailed time lapse of the universe that we have ever seen. >> in the first year, we're going to collect more data than every other telescope combined has ever collected in the history of astronomy. which is wild. we're more than doubling

the amount of knowledge available. >> reporter: but before it all got under way, it took these technicians ten years to build and margo and company five years to plan. the trip from crate to container from here to eternity. at least -- that's the next stop. >> well, late next year the camera will begin a decade long study of the universe by generating ago panorama of the southern sky every few nights. fascinating. >> very, very cool and i know someone who worked own that. through san jose, here's a live look and a few brake lights and issues. overturned semi stuck in lanes this is northbound 101 at the 880 connector. not affecting the main lines of 101. so this is just blocking that connector road as you get on to 880. kind of that clover there. also north 880 is completely shut down as well. trying to travel through there. so it's going to take some time to clear this out of the way to get that big rig up right and you can see it

is stuck there on its side for several hours. we'll let you know how it gets and right now still very quiet on 101 itself as well as 880 but that's certainly going to change as more cars get out there as long as it takes for that to clear out of the lanes. in the meantime you have some options always stick with 280 and you can take that up to 680. and make your way parallel there to 880. or you can take 87 all the way over towards 101. so couple of different options there. if you need to connect on to 101 or get on to 880 going northbound. southbound is open but you might be dealing with some brake lights because of the aftereffects there with everyone sort of trying to make the connectors. okay, eastbound 580 at flynn road. north flynn road. a crash there westbound busy anyway coming out of tracy getting on to altamont pass. getting busy on highway 4 as well. and if you are taking the bay bridge toll plaza, no metering lights just yet. still pretty early as the sun comes up and you can see though traffic is moving along pretty well and actually that's the richmond-san rafael bridge and traffic is moving pretty

lightly across the span towards the marin side. all right. let's go outside right now open up our windows on a wednesday morning. halfway through the workweek. this is the view from the top of the mark looking over towards sutro and g, you know when i hear about that overturned strawberry truck i think of all of the farm workers who worked so hard and we're also mindful how the heat, the heat is going to hit them especially hard this coming week. >> that is a really good point. many of us work outside here in the bay area and the next couple of days we're going to experience this warmth that kind of comes as a surprise for some of us. as we wake up and head out the door let's start off with ourlive look overlooking the palace of fine arts and stretching all the way over into the golden gate bridge. notice how clear it is right now. not only in san francisco but all throughout the coastline. lot clarer for us this morning. we're going to continue to see that sunshine into this afternoon. we have a lot of warrant as we head into this afternoon too. 80s and 70s returning into the bay area. close to the 90s in the east bay. and we'll continue to see this warmth lasting into our thursday and

friday forecast as well. back to average with some cloudy skies heading into this weekend. and that's all thanks to high pressure kind of ridging its way in from offshore. building a built l heat dome here in california as we head into the next couple of days. we'll continue to keep a close eye on that though like i said for many people who work outside and just for all of us to too to commute to work and school after school too. it's warm out there. actually school is out know. what am i talking about? the outdoor activities you can to do today. that's what we want to watch. we cross the bay bridge over into oakland and we jump about six degrees. now we're close to the 80s near oakland heading into this afternoon. and speaking of 80s, that's what we have anywhere from vallejo up into napa. as we head into the east bay a very similar trend. close to the 90s already near concord and antioch and there's a chance we could see some 90s into the forecast tomorrow. tomorrow is expected to be one of the warmest days of this week and of this year and a lot of different ways too. now down into the santa clara valley, we're tauping off in the 81 degrees. next seven days for the inland areas. we'll continue to warm

up into our forecast tomorrow. and then we average out into the mid- to low 80s into this weekend's forecast. partly cloudy skies making their debut once again in our inland areas. as early as sunday. now that's not the case along the coast and the bay. we'll notice the cloudier skies a little bit sooner. close to san francisco or oakland, it will be a very similar trend here too. i hope this is -- inspiration and motivation for young artists. >> inspiration and motivation. halfwaythrough the week. we'll take it. up next neighbor helping neighbor in san jose. in the hope of painting a brighter future ♪♪ when you have moderate—to—severe eczema, it's okay to show off. with dupixent, show off your clearer skin and less itch.

locking live in san jose this morning and celebrating neighbors working for a bay area bounce-back. it's the work to make your downtown area more vibrant. this is what it looks like when hundreds of you volunteer the paint the pavement near san pedro square. a nonoral along the stretch of san pedro closed to cars to create a permanent pedestrian mall. great place the meet the neighbor right? as len ramirez is about to show you artist behind that project came up with a creative way to get neighbors activated. >> reporter: it's one of the largest mural projects ever to take place in san jose. and

it's happening in the street. a giant community canvas all under the watchful eye of lead artist jimmy paint. >> all the paint has been done by volunteers and i think one of the things that's most important about this is that the community has ownership of what we're doing here. you know, it's not just me. this is for the city. this is for the people. we got the teal, orange, black and white. >> reporter: jimmy grew up in east san jose and says his art was influenced by the community around him. >> because people you know, going and coming from sharks' games and this is going to be kind of like the entryway for that. so -- that's why i chose those colors for this section. >> reporter: he was selected by the nonprofit local color and the san jose downtown association which are sponsoring the block-long mural. >> the title of this is "threads woven" and based on a blanket pattern. but what i wanted to do was kind of take the idea of it with the lines and colors involved and kind of -- have that morph and evolve

with lines and shapes intersecting overlapping that represent the diverse cultures and community within san jose. >> reporter: san jose mayor matt mahan and several city council members gave volunteers a helping hand with paint brushes and rollers. the project has an economic, not just artistic purpose, with a goal of helping to breathe life back into one of the most important tax generating districts in the city. earlier this year, the street was permanently closed to car traffic to make it inviting pedestrian friendly location. >> creating a space that's safe and clean and that's vibrant that has public art is one way that the city can help facilitate that rebound, support our small businesses, and diverse entrepreneurs. and really ensure that our best days are ahead of us. >> reporter: many of the volunteers are people who come to san pedro street to eat, drink and shop. mo hamilton works for a local tech company and took the time to lay down one piece of this kaleidoscope of color. >> i'm here every weekend. so

i said why not be part of it? so -- i -- am paying my tribute to the community. >> reporter: jimmy paints is currently working towards his art degree with the goal of one day teaching. >> i hope this is inspiration and motivation for young artists to continue pursuing their creative path and that there will be opportunities for them to share their art. >> reporter: and with this project, he already has one big lesson already under his belt. >> hey, i spied the spaghetti factory there. lunch on the street today, you will see that project happening in realtime and it's scheduled to be finished tomorrow. congratulations to everybody. businesses by the way are open while they put on those finishing touches. it's a welcome effort because like san francisco, like oakland, san jose's downtown is really struggling. according to a commercial real estate firm, more than 35% of office space in downtown san jose is empty. we see that theme across the bay area a lot. and while we talk about this, we want to

remind you of a story max darrow told you about. some fascinating insights in many bay area cities. a university of toronto study ranked san jose second on its nationwide list tracking downtown recoveries. and it's all based on tracking cell phone activity. the results? activities in downtown areas of many bay area cities are on weeknight robust mode. i mean, it's major at night. and that's a powerful finding for business owners. many of them backing up the findings in max's' study and you can find that on the website. kpix.com. it's worth tuning in and looking at. artificial intelligence, like it or not, it is roaring to reality. coming up, our kenny choi examines whether a new committee on safety can protect gig workers. and coming up next, we'll take you live to new york where jurors begin deliberations in former president donald trump's hush money trial. with cbs polls showing voters split right down the middle on trump's guilt or innocence.

headline. deliberations are expected to begin today in the hush money case against former president donald trump. naomi ruchim is live outside that new york courtroom and closing arguments, they were a marathon. what happens next, naomi? >> reporter: well, reed, good morning. that's right. after a very long day yesterday, court is set to reconvene here at about 10:00. so about an hour and a half new york time. that is when the judge will hand over the instructions to the jury. they will be complicated and they will be thorough in this case. such a monumental decision that has to be made here. that process is expected to take about one hour and then after that, the fate of the former president will be in the hands of this new york jury. today, judge juan merchan gives instructions to the jury. and then they'll begin deliberations in former president donald trump's manhattan criminal trial. >> we'll see how it goes. >> reporter: trump is charged

with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to reimburse ex-fixer and key prosecution witness michael cohen, who paid adult film star stormy daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about an alleged sexual encounter in the leadup to the 2016 election all of this trump denies. his three hour closing arguments, defense lawyer todd blanche attacked cohen, calling him the g. l. o. a. t.. greatest liar of all time. >> the jurors by closing arguments really have a pretty good idea how they feel about the case. they are looking strictly at what's the evidence? what do i need in order to do my job? >> reporter: prosecutor joshua steinglass argued that the case is about trump, not cohen. in his five hour closing, steinglass pointed to the evidence his side presented including other witnesses and documents. >> very concerned. >> reporter: outside the courthouse, actor robert deniro railed against trump, while

representing the biden/harris campaign. >> this is the time to some him by voting him out once and for all. >> apparently he needs attention because it's been a while since he had a good movie. >> reporter: trump's children made a show of support inside the courtroom and came to his defense. and if the jury does come back with a guilty verdict, the former president could face thousands of dollars in fines along with possible prison time. but the sentencing will ultimately be left up to judge juan merchan. who has a wide range of options. a lot of room to move in his decision on a sentence in this case. it could range from as you spoke about prison time, but it could just be house arrest or nothing at all. we'll wait to see what he decides. because he does have a lot of leeway in this case. if this gives us any guidance yesterday, the judge said as a reminder that even a

guilty verdict doesn't necessarily mean the former president will go to prison. still though, authorities here in new york are making the necessary adjustments and security measures in place in case that does happen. reed? >> yeah, we see the barricades behind you. what a fascinating time in our nation's history. thank you for that live report, naomi ruchim. let's go straight to the roadways right now and update you on traffic. this is in san jose. a big rig toppled over northbound 101 to northbound 880 and northbound 8980 to northbound 101 are complete lichted down. not on the main lines of the freeway. this is that connector four leaf clover through there. if you are traveling in either direction there, southbound, lanes are still open. and again, northbound 101 itself is still open. but connecting on to 880 is what's closed. 40,000-pound of strawberries on that truck. they'll have to probably take everything off and get it off of the vehicle before they upright the big rig and get tow crews out there and you can see a lot of activity is happening in and around the area. stick with alternate routes in the

meantime. 101 through there is starting to slow down just a little bit on that northbound side. because of the closure. use 87 or 280 as the alternate route. in the meantime until things open up. all right, let's take a live look outside right now and this is what it looks like from the top of salesforce tower over to alameda. and already that golden glow happening and i think it's just a -- a little reminder that it's going to warm up here in the bay area. we can sort of get rid of the t-shirts and maybe go to tank tops. jess? >> oh. yeah. we're really pushing it with the tank tops this week. you are right though. it's true. we're warming up a lot as we head into this week. still going to hold on to my t-shirts and just wear lighter colors not necessarily as much dark blacks and grays. now as we wake up this morning, it doesn't matter what you wear. probably something warm actually because we're in the 40s and 50s throughout the bay area. it is clear out there right now. not the thin marine layer in sight at all and i mean we have a clear and cool morning this morning. we'll see more of that as we head into the rest of this week. we continue to warm up until we hit our friday forecast. then we're right back to normal heading into

this weekend with those clouds returning once again. it's going to be june gloom at that point not may gray. but here's what's happening. high pressure is building in as we wrap up the last couple of days of may and that's really warming us up a lot. and i mean look at this. taking a look at the daytime highs today, novato sitting at 80 degrees and 87 near santa rosa and sitting at 71 today near san francisco. this is even warmer than yesterday -- last week's little bit of warm-up that we had. we have 60s along the coast heading into the afternoon. 80s all the way off in the east bay and close to the 90s already just near concord and antioch. and down into the santa clara valley we go, clear skies already this morning. with 80s in sight for us too. now over to you. all right, what a story this is. after 16 years on the run, a massachusetts fugitive known as the bad breath rapist caught and cuffed right here in the bay area. so let's go back in time and in 2007, twin kit lee just disappeared after a jury convicted him of rape and kidnapping in boston. his victim? a waitress at the

restaurant owned by his family. that victim identified lee. she says because of his bad breath. well, fast forward to this year. police got a tip lee was hiding near danville in the east build bay. yesterday, u.s. marshals got him and they worked with police and that bad breath rapist now awaiting extradition back to beantown. by the way our lauren toms talked to a member of the task force that tracked him down. over on kpix.com. graduate student workers at ucla and uc davis walk after job once again in response to the university's response to pro palestinian protests. so they are union representatives and they say uc leaders allowed violent attackson demonstrators and in fact protests at ucla took a turn after a group of counterprotesters attacked campers with fireworks and sticks and bear mace. student workers at uc santa cruz started the strike on campus last week. uc administrators attempted to

have the protest declared illegal but the california labor board rejected that effort. look live at the state capitol now this morning. 5:36. pro palestinian demonstrators holding a 72 hour vigil to protest the deadly air strike on a tent camp in rafah in gaza. if you are headed up that way, you will see them protesting on the steps of the federal courthouse not far from the state capitol. and you know, this comes after protesters marched through sacramento streets on memorial day. they disrupted ceremonies while demanding congress stop sending weapons to israel. this job is actually barely minimum wage. after you factor in expenses. >> important question. kenny choi asked the gig worker about that. that worker concerned about the impacts of artificial intelligence on his way of earning a living in the bay area. plus this. if not me, then who? if not me that helps change the behavior and what people think, then who? >> meet a local woman working to bring major league sports to the bay area while also creating a way forward for people of color and women in sports. and here's a live look

in san francisco this morning. we can tell you governor gavin newsom will join tech and education and other lie boar leaders there to speak at the generative ai simultaneous later today. by the way generative ai for those of you who are not familiar is a type of artificial intelligence that's able to generate text or other immediate yao from a simple prompt. that summit begins today and runs through friday. that's happening, we know a lot of you are concerned about what ai means. the general impact on the public that ai has. and it will be discussed at that very summit. california lawmakers want to regulate how state agencies use and self-drive cars. here's kenny choi. >> reporter: jean paul is working as a ride hailing driver to make ends meet. >> this job is actually barely minimum wage after you factor in expenses. >> reporter: he's a software engineer who had worked for start-ups. >> right now i don't have job, that the only reason i'm

driving, i want l i'm between jobs. >> reporter: the flexibility of driving for lyft and uber allows him to pursue laying the foundation for his next endeavor. he's well aware of how ai advancements is impacting gig workers. >> we've seen with all the past industrial revolutions that yes, there were tons of jobs that were eliminated but ultimately, we as acyl cakes have grown. there's now jobs that are created. >> reporter: lawmakers are trying to keep pace. the ai accountability act bill sb 896 introduced by state senator bill dodd guides the decision making of state agencies related to automated technologies. one provision in the bill would require state agencies to notify users when they're interacting with ai. >> so legislature is famous for passing bills on businesses and everybody else, but yet is not a leader in the area and does not enact those same initiatives on itself. >> reporter: ahmed is a professor of engineering at san jose state. he believes legislation like this is a

necessary startingpoint for the government and ai companies and consumers with so much uncertainty in the vastly changing ai world. >> having all the free parties together will help make sure that the -- you know, the ai is responsible. and safe. >> i think that ai will enable more people to raise in their order of functioning and all of these repetitive dangerous exhausting body stressful tasks will over time eventually go away and be replaced by machines. >> reporter: gianna paul is more than comfortable with the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence believing in its potential rather than its downside. >> well, the ai accountability act bill also encourages the state to invest in ai education and build ai competencies so we all know what it is in the state's work force and that's going to be key. if you don't know what it is. how can you really drill down on the impact on your life. >> it is impacting our lives a lot. and in so many ways. i

think when you see people, you know, trying to sort of navigate it within their ore work industry, it's certainly got it benefits but also its concerns. all right, we are not in virtual space. we are in real space when we look at what's going on in traffic. there's been some big traffic news this morning. >> yeah. there's a big rig stuck on the roadways and it's been out there for several hours now. in san jose, so if you are just waking up and getting ready to make that commute on 101 northbound connecting on to 880, also northbound 880 completely shut down because of this. this is a big rig stuck on its side and you can see it toppled over. it's carrying over 40,000 pounds of strawberries and a lot of damage to the sand barrels on the side of the roadway. so they're going to call out caltrans to kind of sweep all that up and they've got the heavy duty tow truck on scene there. you can get a better perspective now that the sun is up but still a lot of activity. no ward yet on any injuries but certainly causing a big mess for the morning commute. so jumping to our maps right now we're starting see things getting a little bit busy on northbound 101 as you head near 880. almost backed up

to the 280 and 680 connector. if you want save time you can consider using 87 instead as the alternate route. and 280 itself if maybe you are getting on to 680 and you are trying to get northbound through there. that parallels 880. so couple of options a couple of work arounds and we'll heat you know when lanes open up but again we're seeing the brake lights now affecting the main lines of 101 northbound. okay. taking a look at traffic elsewhere. busy westbound coming into the altamont pass this morning. traffic is slow as you work your way from tracy getting over towards that north flynn exit. 51 minutes from 205 over to the dublin interchange. lets go livered right now to mount diablo. that's the oven of the bay area. because it heats up fast. and first. >> then what is san francisco? >> san francisco is -- >> the air conditioner? >> the cooling station. >> the steamer. >> the ac. >> yeah. i like these. i like these. all right. if any viewers at home have better options let us know. here's

gear up for even warmer weather into next week. but mid next week, but let's take look on average throughout the bay. here's the inland areas, sunny skies expected for us in the next couple of days. hydrate and wear sunscreen and light clothing too. this weekend, we start to average out. low 80s returning into the forecast for us. anywhere from saturday into sunday. and notice those partly cloudy skies start to accompany that too. heading into early next week. that's not the case though if you head to the bay. areas like san francisco and all the way over into oakland, we're going to start seeing the cloudier skies even earlier by friday, saturday, lasting into sunday. no rain in sight by any means but we will keep you updated on that if anything changes. for now over to you. well, this morning, and this month all along we've worked ha ford highlight the stories of aapi leaders. and the issues you face. including those who are trailblazers in
