>> tim conway. >> carol burnett show. >> well done. >> let's take it live and talk about what's happening this morning. we do have a little bit of fog a little bit of mix out there, some drizzle. 43 in livermore, 44 in concord, 53 degrees this morning in the city by the bay. we're starting out mild. we're going to see another warm afternoon but we do have more clouds to contend with than we did yesterday. it was spectacular all of the sunshine we saw. this morning a little light activity pushing on shore. we're getting a break from the showers but we could see isolated activity from time to time. your futurecast tells the story. we stop the clock at about 1:00 p.m. mostly cloudy conditions but hey, look at san jose. getting a nice break. all of that sunshine coming into the south bay throughout the day. is going to bring temperatures up in the 70s yet again. and then as we head through tomorrow we'll see more sunshine. as we head through sunday things start to change.

keep that in mind. saturday is your day for outdoor activities. showers in the works on sunday. 70 in los gatos, "today in the east bay," temperatures running mild, not as warm as yesterday. i had to shave off 3 to 5 degrees from yesterday's highs to the cloud cover. 67 degrees, that's what you can expect today in the city of oakland. come tuesday, valentine's day, 60 degrees inland. comfortable conditions. we'll see showers early. the nighttime will be the best time to get outdoors because we'll see clearing for the second half of the day. but you do want to keep in mind you could get caught by a stray shower so keep that umbrella handy. we'll get clearing on wednesday. a mix of sun and clouds climbing back up in temperature come thursday. 5:46. check your drive. see how that's working out. >> working out all right. we'll start in the north bay. we had wires, that was a problem. highway 12, right around kirkland. that has been cleared now. it's a nice job for folks traveling back and forth between

interstate 80 and napa. interstate 80 across the carquinez bridge. 18 minutes down to the bay bridge toll plaza. no problem for the flow of traffic heading over to the bay bridge. your commute direction and flow but picking up as far as the volume goes through the east bay. we'll look at the south bay. traffic northbound, that's your commute route as well through this area. we're looking at a smooth flow off 101, 85, and all the way past capital to tully where we'll see the signs of slowing. maybe 40 minutes being a friday. a little later start. so far a smooth drive heading up into the lower bayshore. construction crews still on the oregon expressway, north and southbound the off ramp blocked. we're looking north from the dumbarton bridge. and the san mateo bridge, 92 over the water nice with the headlights off the peninsula. look at that, the high rise, a clear view here and across the bay bridge.
