across the bay area and helpful wind moving through the bay area kind of mixing up our atmosphere over the past couple days. as a result, we're still in the good to moderate air quality range. now, the one caveat, all that wind also stirs up the pollen levels. so, if you do suffer from allergies, we'll see the levels creep up this weekend and good idea to keep that medicine by your side. 73 for the peninsula and 78 degrees, what a comfortable day in the east bay. so, temperatures will be noticeably cooler by a couple degrees, but, overall, warm you right back up as we head into easter weekend. so, two very different sides to the weekend. cool and cloudy on saturday at the coast, meanwhile, 72 degrees saturday here in san jose and then by the end of the weekend, easter sunday, looks great. the temperatures will be warm. we're expecting a couple 80s out there, as well. heading out and about this morning, looks really good. no fog to show you. make out alcatraz and beautiful start here and see if we have any impact on your drive. no weather impact but a couple

so, between santa theresa and meridian to get across that area and traveling north, you'll use meridian or camden but that might be a straighter shot heading up towards highway 85, as well. a huge flow of traffic. again, you'll have that reroute and take note. meanwhile on the east bay, southbound 880 moves smoothly. a light volume of traffic there as well as the other side of the bay, no problems heading towards san francisco or oakland but coming out of oakland a crash reported just past the toll plaza itself. there's slowing that registers. look at that live shot there, though. we don't see any problems xwept for the cash lanes at the bottom of your screen. the ones to the left as you approach. and they were starting to recede as far as the backup and backing up a bit and sounds like that crash was in one of the cash lanes. the affect on the bridge? none. we'll send it back to you.
