8:01 am
after morning with the jackets ready to go and at hand the afternoon, it will be back to shorts and t-shirts for a lot of us 40's and 50's right now. pretty chilly. start in oakland at forty-seven degrees. where is later today will be right around that 70 degree. mark in oakland, i'll talk more about the rest of this forecast, including not return a showers eventually still to come bringing. all right, john, thank you that. looks like a lot of people might have the day off, not seen as much traffic on a monday morning, 14 minute ride to the city. and while things are still gusty, want to take your time and definitely keep all hands on the steering wheels. 15 minutes traveling across towards the peninsula into 101, richmond center fell ridge around 13, even at 13 minutes for the past 3 hours and the golden gate bridge. 37, the tolls around. 25 minutes during days. back to you. thanks a lot rain. a fast food workers are getting a raise in california starting today. you are minimum wage going up to $20 an hour and that could have a trickle down effect for the rest of us. if

8:03 am
employees and of course, passing along the difference to the customers. now, governor gavin newsom, he was behind this. he signed this into law last fall. but today is the day goes into effect. he says they need a livable wage because a generation or 2 ago, fast food, mostly teenagers worked in high school. i worked at a fast food when i was in high school as well. but he says those days are done. it's mostly adults and they need the money to take care of their families with the average age being 26 years and older. and that's why they need this $20. minimum wage. again, this does not impact you if you don't have chains more than 60 stores across the country. but a lot of the stores individually own. yes, it's a national store, but it's individually owned franchisees and some of them. i've already said that they probably will start laying off some of their employees. >> all right. thanks a lot. we'll well in the east bay, if
