cleared before the commute starts to pick up because obviously the westbound side the heavy side this time of day. right now let's check in with meteorologist mike nicco with a look at our forecast. >> let me give you good news to start the morning, the red flag warning for the east bay hills and diablo range did expire last night at 5:00. the north bay, all those areas in red, that's a red flag warning, high fire danger until 5:00 this afternoon. still have gusty winds and bone dry air and a lot of dead vegetation for fuel up there. look at the east bay hills camera, not bouncing nearly as much as it was yesterday and because of that it is definitely cooler this morning. so you may want to grab a light jacket. 40s to near 50 degrees. we will be at 64 to 70 at noon, 65 at the coast, 74 to 77 around the bay and inland with a total sunshine back in the 60s by 7:00. big warming trend coming up in the accuweather seven-day forecast. back to reggie and natasha for more news. the wife of a san francisco police officer is still missing
