5:02 am
definitely impacted many of our local communities off in the east bay. all the way down into the santa clara valley and for our friends up in wine country too. it was a hot day yesterday. we can say it. however it's not nearly as warm today. that area of high pressure is moving out and however, we are going to see some gustier conditions around the corner especially along the coastline. as we head into this afternoon. we're kind of sandwiched in-between low pressure to the north and high pressure to the south. we're getting that direct jet stream right into us and we can see some breezier conditions as early as this morning near bodega bay. and anywhere up to around 20-mile-per-hour winds there. concord a similar trend. into the noon hour, we can continue to watch the winds really ramp up along the coast near san francisco. just around 3:00 before dinner time. now we'll continue to see that on shore breeze all throughout the afternoon hours. today so just keep that in mind if you have any outdoor plans. i was thinking today i was going to do a run into the afternoon. but i don't like running in the winds in san francisco and probably not going get out this morning. that's what i'm trying to get you to think. this afternoon, honestly it's a pleasant day across the board and we're talking about upper 80s just near antioch and 70s
5:03 am
near redwood city. this is great forecast to get out there and get some fresh air, like i said though keep in mind the winds get gustier. today in the 80s down into the santa clara valley. closer to the 70s tomorrow. for now over to you, g. >> thank you, jess. a good day to enjoy the walk with the family or maybe the pup or a trip to the park. right now looking good at the golden gate bridge. not too much fog out there and visibility not an issue at all for that ride into san francisco. thankfully although sort of similar to what we saw yesterday in the fog rolling in as that morning commute progressed. we will keep an eye on that. bay bridge toll plaza, metering lights are off and that's great news and traffic is actually quiet heading into the city and so far, so good at the san mateo bridge. in fact most of the bay area bridges checking in problem free this morning with no delays or issues. our hotspot, supercommuters, heads-up, it's busy already coming out of tracy getting on to 580 into the altamont pass this morning. well, we're going to start in the east bay where tensions are heating up over the

5:19 am
the peninsula. along the coast. and even just in the mouth of the bay too. take a look at this. as we head outside right now, right behind me is in live camera overlooking the bay bridge. a clear start for the most part. many of us actually experiencing just a little bit of clouds along the coastline. other than that though, it's beautiful and it's mild and this is what we're dealing with today. yesterday, was a hot day for many of us. especially off in the inland areas. today? we're actually right back down to average if not a little bit below if not just a little bit above. not by much though. let's take the santa clara valley for example. san jose today 81 degrees two degrees above average and about five degrees below average in the heart of san francisco. you know what helps with that? the winds. it's going to be lot cooler and breezier for us along the shoreline and the peninsula like i mentioned heading into the afternoon. 63-degrees today in san francisco and you cross the bay bridge and you see right above me over into oakland and suddenly upper 60s and we continue to head off into the east and all the way up into the north. 70s up near napa and 80s all the way over into concord and 80s continuing to be the trend for us near antioch and as we stretch our way down into the santa clara valley though. nice mild day for us today and i'm actually
5:20 am
going to be down in san jose this afternoon. beautiful weather to get out there and get some fresh air. expecting low 80s in the forecast near san jose and a little bit cooler conditions just along the foothills closer to los gatos and continue the see a similar trend as we head into next seven days. by tomorrow, we cool down just a smidge more. for example, these low 80s turn into upper 70s by tomorrow. for our thursday forecast. and then we kind of average out into the upper 80s. for an extended period of time. this is good news for us honestly when i forecast days like this from friday all the way into next tuesday, where it's pretty consistent, that means a lot of good things for the local communities and you can get outdoor activities done and you kind of can plan ahead a bit more and that's definitely the case heading into this weekend. if you have now outdoor plans that you want to do, sunday is a beautiful day to do it. 74 degrees at that point and 75 heading intoering hi next week by tuesday. g? thank you. let's talk stability roadways as everybody gets up and at them for a wednesday maybe you are heading to work early this morning. well, you are good to go if that's the case. not a lot of cars out there for the commute across the golden gate bridge. and we're not seeing a lot of
5:21 am
fog. so win/win as you head into the city through there. bay bridge toll plaza, metering lights. they're still off. they usually get turned on about 5:35. we'll see if that's the case this morning. now that we're getting into the summer traffic pattern see things maybe a little bit later than we usually do. but so far, so good heading into the city and over at the san mateo bridge, looks good. no delays both directions all clear between hayward and foster city. right now our only hiccup is that ride into the altamont pass. so supercommuters, you have got a busy one already as you head westbound coming out of tracy on 205 getting on to 580 itself and zooming in in and you can see traffic is pretty slow with speeds dealershipping down to about 16 miles per hour. past north american the rest of the way you are food to go. in fact taking that ride past the dublin interchange, maybe to castro valley, no delays to report there. and look at all this green popping up on the sensors. green is good. that means you are moving along well and out of the south bay no delays 101, 280 or 87. the late senator dianne feinstein may soon have a
5:22 am
building named after her in san francisco. looking at the federal building at united nations plaza that's just steps away from where feinstein served as san francisco's first female mayor. california's two current u.s. senators say naming the building after feinstein would commemorate her legacy of shattering barriers. reed? time right now 5:21. hot dog, face off for joey chestnut. the contract dispute that ends with kind of the kick in the buns straight ahead. wow. here's a live look outside before we head to break from the city of san jose. good morning to you. we'll be right back.

5:31 am
highs are right back to normal. right back to average. as really what i mean by that and see just a little bit of coastal fog along areas like half-moon bay and pacifica. but other than that, it's pretty much already off to a dry and clear start throughout most the inland areas. we'll see sunny and breezy afternoon oh gosh so gusty this afternoon along the coastline. but that's in just a minute. what's happening right now? it's cool and breezy along the coast and 48 degrees right now here half-moon bay and 60s already off in the east bay near concord and fairfield and livermore. heading into this afternoon, well, it's going to be a pretty mild day for us. like i said that coastal cloud layer kind of just holds on tight to areas like pacifica and half-moon bay. the rest of us are already off to a clear start and as we take a look at the rest of us, look at what we have today compared to yesterday. concord is a good example of this and antioch. yesterday upper 90s close to the triple digits. we dropped close to around 20 degrees in communities like concord and you will definitely notice the difference if you live there. i mean, even for our friends up in the north bay, 70s this
