it comes to our camera. camera shaking from time to time as the wind will pick up as that system clears out of here. pretty strong winds. if you do drive a high-profile vehicle, hold on tight to your steering wheel, this is the case for the morning drive. right now 21 miles per hour in san francisco and same for oakland. the wind will be a bigger factor than the rain for that commute. a stronger round on the way for the end of the week. that's coming up right now. let's check on the drive and see if the weather is impacting your drive. here's anthony. >> san mateo bridge cam. you can see that because the winds are really gusty and chp has issued an advisory if you are doing any traveling over the bay bridge, san mateo and also the golden gate bridge because those winds are so incredibly strong. take it easy, winds are gusting. we don't have any major accidents to report here early this morning. hopefully that's a good sign of

what is to come on this traffic tuesday. back to you guys. a routine traffic stop turning into the bomb squad being called out to san francisco overnight. a man pulled over last night around 10:00 p.m. park police said he told officers he had fireworks in the back seat of his car. a spokesperson said they couldn't tell if it was a firework or something else. they called in the bomb squad to deal with the device. the this happened on mason street near marina boulevard. investigators closed the area and then they blew it up. several businesses were evacuated as a precaution and the driver arrested. now, the story doesn't end there. officers are now searching the suspect's house in the russian hill neighborhood to make sure there are no more explosives. chase cain is in san francisco getting more information on this story. he'll have an update for us in 30 minutes. also new this morning, two men in the hospital suffering from stab wounds, doctors say they could very well die. the men were stabbed just after

1:00 this morning at the garden of edens strip club. it's not clear if the stabbing inside the club or out on the street. nobody arrested and officials have not released any information about possible suspects. investigators are trying to figure out why a driver pulled on to the shoulder of highway 85 right before her van was hit by a drifting jeep and a little girl inside was killed. this happened about 3:30 yesterday. the chp says a minivan was pulled over on the shoulder when a jeep veered off the road and hit it. a woman and a boy inside the van were taken inside the hospital, but that 8-year-old girl believed to be the driver's daughter was killed. >> most of the impact on the van is in the right rear and that is where the child was sitting. so, the vehicle, the jeep did travel on to the shoulder and partially on to that dirt embankt and then the front of the jeep collide under to the minivan and then he continued to

overturn and she continued across all lanes of the freeway. the driver of the jeep also has major injuries. investigators don't think alcohol or drugs were involved. the family of the boy who stowed away in the wheel well of a plane said the young man may have been trying to find relatives in africa. that plane was going from san jose to hawaii. it may have been the first plane the teen saw on the tarmac. they think he was unconscious for most of the trip on saturday morning because the plane reached 35,000 feet and could have gotten as cold as 80 degrees below zero. in most cases they don't survive and end up falling out of the plane. >> it seems too impossible to me. >> in fact the faa says 1947, 105 people worldwide have stowed away in unpressurized

likely going to play a factor for your morning drive. watch out for debris on the highway. right at the coastline, you can see our camera here in san francisco has a nice shake to it as our winds will strengthen. as we head through the next couple hours you want to travel cautiously. showers will clear by 10:00 a.m. and after that will be dry and cloudy sky will continue until this evening and sun will set at 7:48 and a nice, clear finish to the day. overall, temperatures will return to fall-like levels. look at san francisco just at 59 degrees for today and the peninsula at 65 degrees and that's sweater weather about all day long and look at this, we'll stay nice and cool as we continue through the rest of the week. temperatures only in the 60s even in san jose for today. low 70s for thursday and then that heavier round of rain moves in for thursday and another round for sunday. i'll show you that in my next report, stick around, especially if you're making outdoor weekend
