tuesday. we're back to average in san francisco. even to daly city. 61. downtown san francisco, 68. south san francisco, 69. mission, about 70 for the warm spot today. along the east bay, yeah, welcoming that sea breeze that will keep oakland at 76, hayward at 78. san leandro at 80. peninsula today if you're on the ocean side, half moon bay, 63. partly sunny. hot spots yesterday on the bay side. just warm spots today. head into the south bay, the warmth will linger. 88 in san jose to about 92 in los gatos. as you head up into the north bay, it's more comfortable. santa rosa, 86. san rafael, 81. sonoma at about 85. our east bay, going about six days in a row with 100 degree temperatures. today, mid to upper 90s. look at this, sleeping weather tonight. temperatures in the mid 50s to % mid 60s. even cooler than this morning and more cloud cover out there. that will lead to cooler conditions tomorrow, and that morning clouds will be around every single day. so we'll get back to average by tuesday next week.

alexis. >> good morning, mike. got a little tip for all the drivers this morning. do not do this. all right, a state trooper in massachusetts found this mannequin in a car that he pulled over in the hov lane. the trooper got suspicious when he saw the fake passenger, so he motioned for the driver to pull over. it took another trooper to get the guy to stop, and that's when they found out, yep, exactly what they thought. it was a mannequin. the driver was cited for the hov violation. and a failure to stop for a police officer. you know, honestly, i kind of enjoy these pictures. of course, we don't encourage this is pretty good. sometimes it's kind of a halfway attempt to get that hov passenger in there. this guy had sunglasses on, his hood up and everything. really, not a bad effort, but sorry, you're busted. quick check of highway 17. one accident here, not a great situation, if you're trying to drive southbound to santa cruz, southbound 17 just before the summit, this is a sig alert. a full closure now of highway 17. i told you about the semi stuck in the right lane.

another semi tried to get by him, got stuck as well. now both lanes are blocked and chp is saying use alternate routes. southbound 17 likely not going to be open for a while. no good options through this stretch. state route 9 if you want to take the long way around, 101 to 152, those are both wide open at this time. we'll look at drive times and talk about the fog coming up next. all right, thank you, alexis. california's generating so much solar power that it's paying arizona and other states to take the excess. los angeles times reports it happened 14 times in march. they say the state does not get rid of its excess power, it could overload the electricity grid and cause blackouts. it's not as big a problem in the summer because the demand is so high. part of the problem is the utilities are still dominated by fossil fuel power. solar power now accounts for 10% of the power generated in california. >> coming up next, the seven things you need to know. >> we'll show you new images from nasa showing the dramatic

where does that put us? we'll start inland. how about all those mid to upper 60s? that's a far cry from the 70s and 80s we had yesterday. where we had the 80s in antioch and brentwood, 71 right now. 59 in oakland. and also in hayward, 63 in san jo jose, novato, 55. here's a look at some of the cloud deck. not a solid cloud deck. if you drive into it, it's kind misty in there. north of the bay bridge, it's gog to be breezy on the water. caution there. good on the roads, not as hot. mass transit, clouds to sunshine today. you may leave the house cloudy, head back home, it's going to be sunny. 76 in oakland to about 96 in antioch and livermore. relief is there. feels refleshing tomorrow. 60s and 70s around the bay. 80s inland and temperatures will keep dropping sunday. we'll take a look at all the activities this weekend. have a forecast for that. >> we have a lot of congestion

forecasted for all those big events this weekend, too. right now, dealing with a pretty quiet friday morning commute with the exception of one spot. we have samajor problem, southbound highway 17, just before you get to the summit, this is a sig alert. both lanes are blocked. this is because a semi broke down in the right lane. partially blocking the left lane as well. at first, we had passenger vehicles that were able to get through. at this point, no one is getting through. that's because another semi tried to get through there and got stuck as well. again, all of southbound 17 is blocked just north of the summit. you are going to have to use an alternate route. quick check outside. the san mateo bridge, looking at foggy conditions this morning in several areas. make sure you're slowing down and driving with reduced visibility in mind. drive times overall still looking good, too. we'll take a closer look at 5:50. thank you, alexis. dennis rodman is back from his trip to north korea. he sits down only with "good morning america" to talk about. we have an exclusive first look next. >> b.a.r.t. just voted to >> b.a.r.t. just voted to in

they have accused the u.s. and south korea of a smear campaign. u.s. doctors who examined him say he suffered severe neurological trauma but found no evidence of botulism as north korea claimed. >> dennis rodman is talking to abc news about his recent trip to north korea, suggesting he is partly responsible for warmbier's release. he sat down with michael strahan. >> give all the love to the family, but i didn't know he was sick but he wasn't sick. when he went there, he was fine. a year later, the same day you go over, he's released in a coma. this is in a place that you said this guy who runs this place is your friend. how can that happen and you still have these feelings and this sentiment? >> i'm going to die for this guy. it's not like that. he's a friend of mine, great. i don't look at the political side of him. what am i getting out of this? i'm going out of there out of the kindness of my heart to try to help. i come back.

i lie for a living. however, it's been a while. and maybe it's time. >> depp said that during an it's possible depp referred to john wilkes booth who assa assassinated abraham lincoln. they monitor many news sources and refused to disclose specifics on how it probes threats. >> b.a.r.t. is increasing fares for some passengers and also some backtracking on a controversial policy as well. starting in january, anyone using paper tickets pay a 50 cent surcharge. also extending youth fare discounts to age 18, but they will reduce the discount to 50% of adult fares down from 62.5 first. the board of directors also voted to repeal the seat hog ordinance approved last year, but the idea is not entirely dead. the board will look at establishing a pilot program in the near future. >> for the nird time in about a

a lot of nba experts are saying this is a nice pickup for the warriors. >> looks great. i'm excited. i'm already excited for next season. is it too early? >> i don't think so. hopefully he'll bring muscle and shot blocking. they were really bad at points in the paint, the warriors were. that was one of their few weaknesses last season. hi, everybody. here's a look at what's going on. you can see that sunrise developing right over the broken deck of clouds this morning. the sea breeze is kicking in. that means a little cooler today. it will become sunny everywhere except for the coast where the clouds will linger today. cloudy, cool, we have a little mist this morning. a couple batches of drizzle the next couple nights. that will continue the cooling trend into the afternoon hours through at least tuesday. let's look at what's going on today. how about 83 and 88, excuse me, in san jose. a little more comfortable than yesterday's 96. morgan hill and gilroy in the low 90s. 83 today in palo alto.
