concord. so that fog we talked about, especially in the north bay and parts of the east bay developing that's going to be around during the enti morng commute. here's a look at san rafael. you can barely see anything there. temperatures running from 39 to 49. dress warmer this morning. we'll have 56 to 57. partly cloudy at noon. same thing at 4:00. about 56 to 58. pretty comfortable and dry evening 52 to 54. let check out the roads. let's see what's going on with alexis. overall, looking good. the issue in the santa cruz mountains, we'll talk about that next. incidents in emeryville. westbound 80 filling in, certainly. but no significant delays coming in from the richmond area down to either oakland or heading to take the bay bridge. no metering lights yet. we should have an hour to go before that happens. about a 51 minute drive southbound 101 santa rosa to san francisco. northbound 17 looking good.

we wanted to compare that to other options. b.a.r.t. from richmond to san francisco, that's going to cost you $5.30 one way. much cheaper. you can also take an ac transit bus from richmond. that means two buses. a local bus and a transfer. to a transbay bus. that will cost $5.40. still cheaper than the ferry. during the commute hours, if you drive, you're going to pay $7 on the toll to cross the bay bridge. and parking and you got to think about gas. the ferry is more expensive. certainly a lovely way to get to work. hopefully, less stress than driving. this first ferry is set to leave at 6:10 this morning. reporting live from richmond, amy hollyfield shall abc 7 news. amy, thank you. go online to share your ideas about what building a better bay area looks like.
