a southern humid breeze will bump into our mountains and that can create a shower. a better chance when a cold front comes through. that will increase our breezes also. it can be noisy for some of us tonight. dry, warmer and much brighter for the weekend. temperatures today, you can see the low- to mid-60s just about everywhere except for lake port and half moon bay, upper 50s for you. tonight is going to be a mild one. we'll have a southerly breeze. temperatures in the low- to mid-50s, except for up in the north bay where the rain will be heavier and cool you more. mid to upper 40s. here is a look at what's going on. look at this, isn't it beautiful? two areas of low pressure spinning right next to each auto other. the effect will spin around each other. one will come our way tonight and the next thursday. that unsettled pat he were is why we'll have a chance of wet weather. high resolution forecast models show pretty much nothing for the entire day today except for close to the east bay and south bay during the afternon hours. by 9:00 tonight, that's when the next front comes in.

you can see the showers, even the possibility of a thunderstorm developing as we head through the overnight hours. also during tomorrow's morning commute. so enjoy today's commutes. they are going to be a little easier than tomorrow morning. a one for wednesday, a one for thursday and then the sunshine breaks out friday and the 70s come back for saturday and sunday. alexis. >> all right. i want to head back it really our biggest issue of the morning so far. a two-car collision in novato. southbound 101 past san antonio road. that is gone. as you can see, back in the green approaching that scene. we're still having a little tougher time as you come through state route 116 interchange. hopefully that will clear out before we really get into the morning rush. that is an improving situation. big soccer match tonight. foot bull, mexican national team taking on paraguay. parking lots open at 1:30, gates open up at 5:00. this is definitely going to be a

big traffic issue. mke that 45,000 coming. i'm checking my notes. definitely plan on some delays this afternoon into this evening. a quick check of walnut creek, reports of a vehicle fire southbound 680 near treat boulevard. i'll work on details and have another update coming up next. thanks, alexis. one man's effort to build a better bay area started with gardening and bloomed into a beautiful gesture. >> this is nice. rick santoro has his own little super bloom going on in his backyard in san jose. yeah, it is open to the public. santoro who goes by the nickname the bulb guy has been planting bulbs since 1985. he's created a botanical oasis, one he hopes to share with neighbors. >> honestly, i do kind of get drained, you know, but i get filled the week of the show. i see the look on people's face, that what fills me. >>ed yard will be open every day

through the end of the month. instead of charging admission, visitors are encouraged to make a donation to saint jude's research hospital. he said he's raised $19,000 for charity so far. that's pretty great. >> yeah, it's great. his garden is impressive. well deserved. >> way to go. >> he should donate. that's a lot of hard work. new at 6:00, the urgent search this morning for a prized show dog missing from one of the nation's busiest airports. >> first is the third time the

bay bridge continues at

oracle park in san francisco, a's across the bridge to take on the giants. first pitch 59, droppig to 57 under mostly cloudy sky. mike, thank you. now to a startling new study about marijuana. >> edibles are apparently leading to a spike in emergency room visits in colorado. recreational marijuana has been legal in colorado since 2014. edibles make up only .3% of all pot sales. researchers found they are linked to more than 10% of all er visits. abc news reporter is covering the story. >> reporter: one of the reasons this is happening, when you smoke marijuana you feel the effects immediately. when you eat the marijuana product, the high can take three hours to reach its peak. because it's not kicking in, they take more and more and that can lead to an overdose. >> wow, the marijuana industry is urging people to follow directions and dosage instructions especially when it comes to candy and cookies. keep them out of the reach of

children. the number of measles cases in the united states is still rising and the center for disease control says there have been 46 new cases in the last week. this brings the total to 314 since the beginning of the year. measles are reported in 15 states including california. we know of at least three cases so far in the bay area and the largest outbreaks are in new york and washington state. >> researchers in spain say people keep making new brain cells well into their 90s. that's the red you see in the image. this idea has been debated for a long time. doctors used to think we were born with all brain cells we will have. scientists at the university of madrid say the process of generating neurons happens every second of our lives. the number of new brain krems trails off with age. >> does it trail off when you're on the morning shiftars? >> we are officially brain dead. no one if you realized that. >> i don't feel like i'm making

any new ones. >> no. >> okay. let's take a look at traffic here this morning. we do have one new issue in the east bay, westbound 880 near mcbryde. four vehicles involved blocking far left lane. still waiting on details from chp but bad spot to have any lanes down. we have a back-up forming. a quick check of walnut creek southbound 680 north of treat boulevard we have reports of a vehicle fire. i believe if you look toward the middle top portion of your screen, you can see flashing lights there. the vehicle fire was off on the shoulder. everyone got out okay. i believe the emergency crews are there. slowing down to take a look at that. you are heavy in pleasant hill. let's check in with mike nicco. >> you see absolutely no rain out there. the rain dances around us in the south bay, east bay and north bay. tonight you can see the rain overtaking all of us by 9:00 tomorrow morning. right now it's pretty quiet with the rain moving into the high country. we do have a chance of

thunderstorms tonight through tomorrow. that chance moves to the north as we head into the thursday as the system starts to depart thursday finally and we'll see trier weather starting friday. until then storm concerns not only today but for tonight there can be some ponding on the roadways. >> all right. thanks, mike. perhaps the third time is the charm. a new push is once again under way to extend last call in california to 4:00 a.m. state senator scott wiener's bill made it out of committee and could be up for a vote on the floor soon. the bill would let bars in select cities including san francisco and oakland sell alcohol as part of a test run. each city would have to approve the last call hours. the trial would start in 2021 and go through 2026. by the way, former governor jerry brown vetoed a similar bill last year. the giants promise their new $10 million score board will be up and running by their home opener on april 5th. you can see it from sky7. it's three times the size of the old score board. crews are still working on it so
