occurred in the mission district , where a driver ran a red light and crashed into the crew's vehicle, which had stopped in the middle of the intersectn. in a statement, crews said they look foro working with the califomv to make any imprts and provide any data they need to reinforce the safety and efficiency of our fleet. this week in the autonomous vehicles encountered some minor issues in glen park city. crews had closed the street to fix a water main break. watch how the worker stands in the way of the crews vehicle as it tries to enter the street. frustrated the worker began kicking the tires. >> we hear about it in the news. >> that's michael connell, reporter for the atlanta journal constitution who has written about cruises announcement that it would start testing cars with a driver in atlanta earlier this month. >> they gave us the impression that they were going to do the rollout pretty steadily and slowly and not all at once. so i wouldn't expect to see a big

rain so it would hang on to the umbrellas even though not all of this is going to hit the ground, some of it still will over the next few hours. as you will notice on live doppler seven, we're still seeing some moisture across the mendocino county area. also some light showers on street level radar just east of petaluma there. those showers are going to just keep popping up as the sun sets things will start to die down. but certainly thunderstorms have been strong across parts of the sierra as this low has been sitting here for much of the week, providing the lift. and you get the heating from the sun that destabilize ises the atmosphere. so like i said, until the sun goes down, still the risk of an isolated thunderstorm here in the bay area as well. those showers have been moving in from the south since earlier today and the humidity has been elevated. you probably noticed it. dew points right now, 65 in oakland, 64. santa rosa. when you're in that 60 to 60 degree, 69 degree dew point range, that's humid for our taste and it's sticky for us here in the bay area. so if you're feeling

that you're not alone, one more day, let's say six more hours to 12 more hours before we start to notice the humidity coming down, 60s to 80s on those temperatures as as we check out the winds, they are about 20 to 26 miles an hour, gusting san jose to 26. the temperature is have come down compared to yesterday. we had records at oakland and sfo right now we're running about 22 degrees cooler in napa down to 30 in san jose. so it is noticeable from our golden gate bridge camera you are seeing it's socked in view there. scattered showers tonight, isolated thunderstorms, possible drier and warmer weather for midweek, which means lower humidity and our seasonal summer pattern is expected for the weekend. so tonight, 7:00 still could see a shower or two popping up as we head towards tomorrow morning. things quieting down. certainly a lot of cloud cover, some fog around at 8 a.m. as we head towards tomorrow afternoon. an isolated shower is still not out of the question, although i'm not expecting the same repeat of

what we saw today, which was more scattered shower activity. your morning temperatures in the 50s, 60s. so it is going to start out with a lot of cloud cover and mild tomorrow afternoon in the 80s, inland 60s coast side 72 in san francisco, 77, oakland 84 for you in san rafael, san jose 88. in concord, 79. in napa, 82. in santa rosa. here's a look at the accuweather seven day forecast. and one of the things you're going to notice is lingering clouds along with a little bit of humidity in the morning, upper 60s to upper 80s wednesday the air is drier as whatever remnants of hilary have moved out by then we're talking about a warm to hot day, though low 70s to upper 90s. the heat pretty much holds on thursday and then we'll cool it off for you down to the 80s on friday and then over the weekend we'll have our usual spread of 60s to 90s that we expect here in the summertime and the biggest thing we're going to notice is almond and it's not sticky. that's what we like. >> yeah. yeah thanks, sandy.
