the 9:00 hour. but then we're expecting partly cloudy skies to kind of blanket the bay area as we head into this afternoon. so just keep that in mind. it's going to be a mild start to the first day of summer. not that sunshiny setup that we were hoping for but you know what? daytime highs are sitting right around average and we're still expecting coastal breeze too. and truthfully this is summer here in san francisco and the bay area in general. we all know that. there's a reason why we call it may gray and june gloom. it's always a little bit cooler now then it warms up nice as we head into the september and october months right? here we go into the 3:00 hour today. 25-mile-per-hour winds near san francisco. almost 30-mile-per-hour winds near bodega bay and we actually hit that heading into the late evening hours tonight. this is just around 8:00. so let's actually drop this and let's dive right back into what we can expect heading into this afternoon. beautiful mild conditions today. upper 70s near areas like santa rosa and novato. we cool down into the 60s just near san francisco. someone said this to me the other day. if you live in the bay area there's a climate for you know matter where you live

and that's so so true. if you like cool cloudy conditions live near g along the coast. warm sunshine and move into antioch right? now down into the santa clara valley, 70s in the forecast for us this afternoon. near san jose and los gatos. we're actually warming up into the 80s just along the foothills and watch what happens with the 80s as we head into the next couple of days. we actually warm up into the 90s by friday. there's saturday's forecast. there's that sunshine. it's the summer sunshine we wanted and it was just teasing us of course this first day gloomy conditions to wake up. now as we head in the next seven days we'll continue to see that sunshine stick around as high pressure ridges its way in from offshore. now here we go all the way into the bay. a little bit cooler of course today. 60s in the forecast on average. we warm up into the mid 70s by saturday and a beautiful day to get out there and get some fresh air and notice how each of these days despite the fact that we have cloudy conditions, they're still dry so any outdoor activity is a go and then next week we kind of flirt back and forth with 60s and 70s in sight. we'll keep you updated on the forecast g, how are the

roads looking? you know, not too bad jess, and in fact as we take a live look at the golden gate bridge you know you were talking about that marine layer. visibility could be an issue. it's looking okay for the most part and checked some of the mapping systems not seeing brake lights or delays out of marin. so an okay ride as you head across the fan there into the city. not quite the case for the bay bridge and you can see the roadway just fine but you are seeing a lot of brake lights and a lot of taillights in front of you headed here out of our east bay routes. so busy ride already with the metering lights on and stays slow across the upper deck into the city. richmond-san rafael bridge, starting to slow down as well for that westbound commute and we've got brake lights already for supercommuters heading into the altamont pass. let's get a quick live look here at the san mateo bridge. you can see on that right hand side of the screen, taillights heading west and getting crowded if you are headed everyday to the peninsula side. quick look at the travel times before you head out the door and 580 certainly one of the slowest spots. as well as highway 4. but 80 westbound and 101 out of san jose so far, so good. all right, let's cruise on over to another hallmark of our

welcome back. a report last week showed inflation is starting to ease but the cost of child care remains high and many struggle to afford it. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger is here with ways to make child care more affordable. this one hits close to home, i have got two little ones, jill, what is the cost of child care right now? >> reporter: it's probably the cost of what you have to buy in your liquor cabinet to get through this. because the national average last year nearly $1,000 a month and i know for the both of our coasts, we see people who are paying two, three, four times that amount and we know that child care costs nationally, they are up by more than 30% since 2019. and that's faster than the overall inflation rate. >> yeah, my family and i we joke all the time once we're done paying for child care we're going to get a raise literally. how are families managing jill, and what are the risk of the work arounds? >> reporter: well, i'm sure

you see this all the time. that one result of the costly child care out there is that it pushes workers out of the labor force. and this is particularly dangerous for women. because they're waiting until your kids go to school, remember you are going to lose five years of putting money into your retirement account or maybe you are off track to get raises. it's a really detrimental impact. i also see a lot of people turning to the grandparents for help. and look, the grandparents are really going to have a hard time saying no. but just remember that helping their adult children could put them in financial -- at financial risk so we want to be really careful about asking that older generation without having a very open conversation. about how much money they really can afford to help out with. >> okay, so besides family, what other resources exist to help people out with the cost of child care? >> reporter: well, states and territories receive funding from the federal government to

provide financial assistance to help families with lower incomes pay for child care. and you can find these programs at childcare.gov. eligibility requirements vary state by state. also, if you are working, please take advantage of those employer based dependent care flexible spending accounts. you get a little help from uncle sam the pay for your care and also don't forget to claim the child and dependent care tax credit when you file your taxes every year. look, we know these costs are exorbitant so i don't want to tell people not to have children because of it but try to factor this in as you contemplate what choices you are making in the future. >> yeah, it's all about planning and well, great information jill and thank you so much as always. and you can see jill regularly on "cbs mornings" and the cbs "evening news" with norah o'donnell for more analysis. go to jillonmoney.com. ♪ ♪ happy pride month

we hate 96 degrees on this day. so just put that into perspective. we are well below average right now. or actually we're sitting where we should be for this time of year. now as we head all the way over to the virtual reality map again, i want to show you the daytime highs for today. all in areas like san francisco across the bay bridge into oakland. holding on tight to the 60s into this afternoon. east bay, it's a summer day. upper 80s in the forecast near antioch and low 80s near livermore and plenty of sunshine this afternoon all the way off in the east bay but we kind of hold tight to the marine layer closer to the coast through the afternoon and into the evening hours tonight. we make our way down into the santa clara valley, 70s and 80s in store for us and the next seven days we are gearing purpose more summer-like weather as soon as tomorrow. 80s this afternoon through the inland areas and turning into 90s by friday. we continue to warm up into the upper 90s by saturday and then averages out into the mid 80s upper 80s into early next week. look at all the sunshine though not a drop of rain in sight. and we see a similar trend for our friends along the bay. just with the little bit more of that june gloom holding on

tight to the bay shoreline. now once we head all the way into the weekend forecast beautiful weather for saturday for any outdoor activities and it's the first weekend of summer and it's definitely going to look like it too as we head into our sunday and monday forecast of next week. 70s and 60s kind of flirting back and forth with each other. gianna, how are the roads looking? a little bit busy in some spots jess. unfortunately we have a traffic alert to look out for this morning. this is as you commute in and around napa this morning. highway 29 both directions right at oakville cross road lanes are blocked due to the crash with injuries. lot of activity in and around this area. so plan for that some extra busy slow and go conditions as you commute through there. okay. the rest of the bay. southbound 880 just as you head into hayward getting word of a crash there possibly blocking lanes. but that will certainly change the traffic patterns heading to hayward and over to the san mateo bridge and look at this. a live look at 880 near paseo grande and you can see it's slow as you head through there. northbound though moving along well. but certainly as you make

that ride over towards the san mateo bridge, some flashing lights there off in the distance so we might be getting word a new trouble spot there but in the meantime, it's starting to get a little bit slow westbound over towards 101. and over at the bay bridge toll plaza, metering lights are on and you can see that backup is pretty significant a slow commute as you head into san francisco this morning. golden gate bridge, you know, it's looking okay as far as speeds go. there's extra volume but not a lot of slowdowns. however, we're starting to see that marine layer atlanticen up just a little bit for that commute into san francisco. so visibility could be an issue on 101, sausalito, as you head through there. and maybe on the north end of the golden gate bridge. and a quick look at the travel times before you head out the door. animal welfare advocates who oppose bringing giant pandas from china to the san francisco zoo plan to show up at a committee meeting that's happening today. the city's joint zoo committee may talk about mayor london breed's initiative to acquire the pandas with private funding.
