warm up and it quickly cooled right back down. >> part of the reason for that is what you see behind me. a lot of that low gray that's hovering right across the bay this morning. and you can see it's sweeping into the bay and this view right there along pier 15, the bay bridge behind those flags just blowing around that pretty strong breeze that's pushed back in temperatures in the 50's for most of the bay area this morning. cool. start. get the light jacket ready to go, especially if you're going to be outside for more than just a couple of minutes. we will be stealing seeing still a warm afternoon with some clearing skies later on. as of right now, a lot of us do see that low gray overhead. the visibility is holding just fine as cloud cover sitting above us. winds currently pushing in from the south and west. that's going to transport more ocean, cool their direction. keeping us in the low 80's at the very warmest inland. most of us today in the 60's to 70's. all right, john, thank you for that. fortunately, we've been tracking a traffic fatality. >> 5, 80 westbound in livermore. so if you are

public safety personnel that we need. so how did voters feel after the debate tonight? >> a lot because i really had no idea who i was going to vote for. so it helped a lot in my opinion might have changed. and i kind of staff i think it is. he was pretty solid guy. but aaron peskin did pretty well. didn't anticipate it do. but i still like london i'm sarah stinson reporting in san francisco kron. 4 news. >> well, all 5 candidates, by the way will meet again for another debate next monday night. and kron four's theresa stasi will actually be moderating it. the debates being put on by the san francisco democratic county central committee is scheduled to start at 7.30, at the university of california college of law in san francisco. it's free to attend. it's open to the public. and we will, of course, be streaming it on kron on. if that works better for you 705, in the east bay, the oakland city council votes unanimously last night to sell their half of the coliseum.
