again where we've had just several issues here already this morning. the first one was a disabled semi between treasure island and the city. that is gone. then a three-car crash on the fremont off ramp and chp ran a traffic break to clear that. we're still seeing red getting into the city that should thin out fairly quickly. it is looking better on our south beach traffic camera there. and the east bay, the rest of the east bay, coming in from walnut creek, southbound 680 approaching highway 24 is filling in. no major issues. we'll check on drive times just before 5:00. so far none of the 50 companies testing autonomous vehicles in california have applied for a permit to test them without someone behind the wheel. the state will allow truly driverless cars on the road beginning next monday. remote operators are still required to monitor them. the dmv says april 2nd is not a deadline and companies can apply at any time. arizona has suspended uber's testing of self-driving cars on

its roads. here's "tech bytes." no more self-driving uber tests for uber in arizona. >> the governor suspended those tests after a woman was struck and killed by a driverless uber car. uber has temporarily canceled all of its driverless tests while the arizona accident is investigated. and grandfather's first snapchat experience is going viral. this video was posted for 92-year-old grandfather trying out snapchat filters and wracked up tens of thousands of views. >> understandable. >> those are your "tech bytes." >> have a great day. 30 years after the iconic connor family won our hearts on "roseanne" the cast is back. >> the connors are back as the quintessential all-american working class family. when asked to revive the hit sitcom cast members eagerly jumped onboard. roseanne barr says reuniting for the eight episodes felt like a

you're never more than seven minutes away from my accuweather forecast. i came across this statistic yesterday. these are the days since the last tornado warning was issued by these national weather service offices. you can see san francisco's office ranks fourth. more than seven years since we've had a tornado warning anywhere in the bay area and monterey bay. up in eureka, it's been nearly 15 years since they had a tornado warning. i thought you might find that interesting. >> thanks, mike. the little girl at the center of the supreme court case that ended segregation in schools has died. linda brown was 9 years old when her father tried to enroll her at sumner in topeka, kansas. the school was all white at the time. he sued the board of education when sumner blocked her from enrolling. the high court would rule in 1954 that separate facilities are not equal which led to the desegregation of u.s. schools.

brown died in topeka on sunday. she was 75 years old. cisco is taking a big step to end homelessness in santa clara county donating $50 million to the county program called destination home over the next five years. it's the largest donation of its kind. the chief executive says the problem is at crisis levels. he says homelessness costs the county more than half a billion every year. >> california license plates will soon be more pink thanks to work from local activists. the new pink ribbon license plates will raise money for low-income women getting screened for breast and cervical cancer. the dmv shipped out the new plates to thousands of california drivers. a group of breast cancer survivors actually came up with this idea. they say seeing the pink plates will remind and encourage more women to get screened. the plates cost $50. they're available for motorcycles. taking a wrong turn in san francisco can land you in big trouble. just ask this driver.

sky 7 was over market and church streets in the castro district yesterday where they wound up on the steps of a parking lot. the driver told business insider that uber's gps app told him to go down the stairs. but his brain told him to follow the gps. you know what i'm saying? >> where is the accountability there, right? is that what you're saying? you're never more than seven minutes away from the accuweather forecast. 18 rainy days in march so far. the rest of the month is going to be dry. we're dry today. where does that leave us? i want to show you that is a little breezy in our hills, also. for the rainfall season 51% of average in san jose. and here's a look at our rainfall potential over the next seven days. watch the clock. it turns. the zeros don't turn all the way through monday.

we'll be bone-dry. let's see how the roads are this morning. i know they're bone-dry, also, alexis. >> hopefully that will translate to a smooth commute. however, it has been a busy start on the bay bridge. no metering lights on yet. that should happen in about 20 minutes or so here for the drivers who are entering the maze. we do have a little stackup in the cash lanes. they should get more open shortly. starting to slow down in the central valley, too, although it's not terrible. 580 tracy to dublin up to 40 minutes. southbound 680 dublin to mission in the green at 14. northbound 85, 101 to cupertino, you look great through the south bay area. that is in the green at just 17 minutes. >> thank you, alexis. the promoters of bottle rock have announced a new music festival. it is set for september 22nd and 23rd in glenallen. the avett brothers will headline. this is a festival for people who don't like the larger sized

hills. i wanted to look at the lower elevations. you can see in fair field 20, half moon bay, 12. 14 in santa rosa. it's quiet out there as high pressure is moving in. this is live doppler 7. there's not a radar return to be found. bone-dry. mt. tamalpais with another great day of visibility. milder. still chilly this morning. a great day to be outside for lunch, 58 to 63. we'll stay in the 50s to low 60s at the coast at 4:00. look at the 70s elsewhere. 55 to 63 at 7:00. that looks nice. how about the commute, alexis? what hasn't looked nice is the bay bridge. we cannot get away from some heavy traffic on the westbound side. a couple earlier issues. we have gotten the all clear. however looking at this east bay camera pointing towards traffic heading into the tunnel there we are seeing a lot of brake lights. i checked this out on our traffic maps, too, it is looking heavy approaching the tunnel.
