10:03 am
hamilton over here seeing around 3, if not 6 inches of it in some of the mountains up there to the east san jose highway 17, your back under between san jose and santa cruz earlier this morning. it briefly was some rain snow mix there. san jose still very wet as is much of the peninsula are bridges the east bay still looking at some consistent showers. heavy rainfall in the altamont pass right now. there's mount diablo that little blue spot right there, looking at some snowfall actively on it right now. likely to be a couple inches of accumulation. there. antioch, oakley, you're seeing some heavier rain as you are out towards rio vista on up towards fairfield and on up towards vacaville in davis to a lot of us closer to the coastline are beginning to dry things out a little bit now. but taking a look at future cast of what we have to expect as we make our way through the rest of the day, peeks of sunshine will be seeing more and more. but isolated thunderstorm development now becomes a possibility like up here in marin towards 11:00am. this morning. and then also in
10:04 am
san francisco and oakland right around noon to 01:00pm right here. also on the southern end of the peninsula. so don't get too comfortable. keep your eye on the radar and make sure that you are keeping engaged with exactly what we're looking at. temperatures in the 40's right now. it is been a cool cold start to this morning. in fact, it's cold enough that we're seeing snow levels low as 1500, even 2000 feet here in the bay area. some of the lowest snow of the season and it only took to april to get there 50's for your highs today. peaks of sunshine chance of afternoon thunderstorms keeping you updated as ye go. michael. >> thanks, john. and good morning, everyone. well, we are now starting to see things ease up when it comes to traffic. you can see here there was a traffic collision on 101, northbound lane. some of those lanes were closed, but it's starting to get cleared up. another problem area that we just recently saw was on the bay bridge and not so much people heading into the city, but people in the city heading over to the east bay. you can see there was a severe traffic alert and also a collision. things are
10:05 am
starting to clear up here. this red is now turning to orange, but just keep that in mind. the center and one of the left lanes were closed. taking a live look now at the bay bridge. those heading into the city from the east bay. it's only a 15 minute commute, which is really good. taking a look at some drive times 17 minutes from crockett to the maze. 12 minutes from walnut creek to 5.80, a 16 minute commute from castro valley to the maze and an 18 minute commute from san leandro to the maze. that's really the only area that we're seeing any major congestion taking an overall look at traffic tracker for. you can see lots of green, which was not the case this morning. so if you're heading out, still give yourself some extra time as roads are still wet. james, we'll send it to ok? >> michael, thank you. let's continue our team coverage of the rain. the impacts that we're seeing on the roads. it's been kind of a sloppy morning commute for a lot of folks in crawford's will trend has been out there in it in sandra fell keeping an eye on current conditions and i guess at the moment the hood is down will good morning.
10:06 am
>> mother nature finally took her foot off the gas pedal and it is now trading at this time. not really just tiny, tiny raindrops should not have any impact right now. as far as the morning commute, you can clearly see right? there are plenty of space between the cars and it is getting brighter by the second has i c sun race piercing through the cloud cover. so right now it's a good time, not windy. the puddles probably will be clearing out just a little bit. but we know this is far from over as it is expected to be a pretty much damp thursday. but right now, not too bad. you can see the cars pulling into this parking lot. that person didn't even have her windshield wiper on. so if you're leaving your house at this time or maybe over the next couple of hours, it dodged a bullet because this morning, not her ranch or rain, but a good state of rainfall throughout the morning. fortunately, looks like today is the heavy
10:07 am
lifting. and then tomorrow things should clear out a little bit just in time for the san francisco giants home opener. so get wet today. all smiles tomorrow when the giants come back to town to start playing for the first time at oracle park this season. so right now, look at this. nice and dry. not complete. >> happy to see that. all right. thank you very much. well, 10, 0, 6, is the time we do have delays on airport. no, not a lot of people smiling there, especially out at sfo because they have now more than 200 flights delayed. latest check shows 204 flights delayed. the vast majority are arriving flights 126 of those have been delayed and that is due in large part to the fact that the faa has instituted a ground hold of 2 hours and 15 minutes for all inbound flights. so they're being held at their point of departure on the ground for more than 2 hours before the can even start flying to sfo. that's going to have ripple effects throughout the day. so that's the situation out at sfo.

10:09 am
in tranquility. that's not right >> just this past weekend, the mayor says that more than 200 people showed up at a sideshow. a lone tree drive in golf course road police moved in quickly dispersing the crowd. the mayor says that the department's police scandal where dozens of officers were put on leave for allegedly sending racist and sexist text messages and breaking other laws hurt their efforts to block sideshows. but he says that those days are in the rearview mirror that when the police levels were impacted by the fbi investigation, we lost optimism. so that certainly had that it felt like that. we just opened the gates to sideshows here. >> but were quickly stepping up. we've got 6 officers in the academy 12 that will be entering the academy made our proactive efforts are are much more important having police officers dedicated finding. >> shutting down sites. have to organized that have been most affected.
