westbound 80. so everyone coming through oakland on 580 trying to get to the bay bridge, not moving right now. we have big flames coming up just a moment ago. fire crews just arrived. there is a lot of smoke. it looks like they have knocked down the flames. we heard calls into chp saying the tires caught fire. i can't tell the actual contents caught fire. but, of course, we are just watching this very closely. so again that connector is fully blocked right now, westbound 3580 to westbound 80, all right, sorry, my producer keeps talking to me. i have other things to show you. you want to stay on this picture for a minute? all right. of course, the picture goes down, as soon as he is telling me that. well, the back judgment definitely is insignificant. let me head over to my desk and take a look at this. if are you coming in from oh 24, that is starting to back up into the oakland stretch there past 40th. if you are coming in on 580,

your backup is to about broadway. so your best bet is to head south and use 980 instead. because we don't know how long this is going to take. i'm not sure if they will be worried about any of the structural integrity of the roadway or if you know this is going to be any type of a long-term thing. so me it looks like mostly the tires are on fire. hopefully, that is good news this morning, bart is an option as well. we don't have any bart delays so far this morning. so that is definitely good news. we are sending our sky 7 chopper up to get a better look at this as well. so, as soon as they have some visuals, we will flip over to that. this is a pretty good view here this morning. all right, guys, do you want me to check in on weather here? or what -- okay. let's head over to mike nikko with a look at the forecast. >> all right, stunning video, no doubt. thanks for the info. here's a look at walnut creek i want to show you this, you were 77 yesterday with all that sunshine, today will you barely make it to 70. this will be the last day this

mid-afternoon. look what walks in. yellows, oranges, what -- mid or moderate rain coming our way, even a chance of a thunderstorm, that continues all the way through the evening commute. and that's why i'm thinking along with winds around 30-to-40 miles per hour, bumping tomorrow's storm up to a 2. right now thursday, friday, saturdays, sundays are all 1 on the storm impact trail. >> new at 6:00, facebook promises a pay raise, how much they will be working. >> first a bay area man tries to win her heart. his friends call him old matt donald, did his

. all right. welcome back. we want to take you back to our breaking news, this morning in oakland, right on the emeryville border. we are looking live over a tanker truck fire on the westbound 580 connector to westbound 80. it looks like most of that fire is out. originally the calls to chp said the tires had caught fire. we are trying to determine if an actual tanker content caught fire. we were told they were hauling cooking oil. so to me it didn't look like it did. it looks like they have saved most of this truck. it did take fire crews a little while to get there. it was sort of a tough connection. this is the connector to westbound 80 in emory victim. everyone coming from oakland, trying to get to the bay bridge has just been sitting there. this has been a standstil. let me double check here with chp see what time those initial

calls came in. 35:16 when that tanker was first able to pull over to that right side and the calls started coming in. there we go, we're at 40s minutes of most of these vehicles stuck in this traffic. they still don't have an estimate on when the lanes will reopen, obviously, this is causing significant delays right now. 880 is okay this morning. it's looking pretty average we have early delays on the bay bridge due to some inspections that went pretty late this morning. the metering lights were on at 5:08. this commute is obviously not getting any easier. this is a signature alert. we will continue to have ap update in just a few minutes. >> all those people trying to get through there. sorry, i was watching the picture. that's exactly where we come through. all right, game one today, warriors taking on the trail blazer es of portland, tip-off at 6:00, it will be 64, it will be in the mid-60s if you are out

>> growing up, my friends used to call me old macdonald, hence the tractor and that really bad song. >> it's great, i liked it. >> good, thank you. >> apparently she didn't like it that much. >> you can tell she was not telling the truth. >> this was matt donald's entrance. he's a medical device salesman, not a farm early. in the end, his connection apparently wasn't there. >> i was really excited, unfortunately, it didn't go the way i wanted to. >> best of luck to you, i hope you fall in love. >> it will take me some time to recover from this and regain some confidence. >> yeah, you can follow hannah brown's journey, right here on abc 7. she was actually really sweet and earnest. i'm bull marketed he didn't make it through another night. >> he could have just got saved. that's just, i don't know anything about "the bachelor" and "the bachelor ret." next a presidential race
