bridge with mike. >> look at that westbound no problems. you can clearly see the high rise. we don't see evidence of the rain here but damp roadways around the bay. look at your map, also around the bay, you're at speed limit. that is a great flow of traffic. little build out of here over the west 580 and like last week we're watching over here and the b.a.r.t. disruption and the end of the pittsburg bay point line is out of service. folks hitting highway 4 and you guys continue the story today. a new day and the same story, mike. there are still traffic woes for b.a.r.t. riders for a sixth straight day now. commuters plagued with more delays as crews try to figure out what is causing a power surge on the track. pete suratos live in concord. any word on when this is supposed to be cleared up? >> well, we know that bus bridge will be in place at least for today. we're hoping to get an update from b.a.r.t. to see how much longer this will take place and we saw it also over the weekend

sanford university said it will bring more of their graduate students back on to the campus, but that is only half of the graduate students who currently live off campus in palo altond the surrounding community. the more students who live on campus, the fewer will be living campus. opponents, though, say that there are already families living at escondido village, the proposed site for this housing plan. will they be displaced and adding more beds means adding more bodies and with that comes congestion and other ripple effects. we talked with a real estate conant who said moving could help to free up housing and affordable housing in the community, but only if it finished all at once. >> which could create a ripple effect throughout the peninsula and the county. if housing opens up and there may be no impact.

>> now, this project appears to be moving forward because santa clara county already approved the permit in december. stanford planners are only making their case to the city of palo alto. no power to approve or deny the project but make suggestions and weigh into the county about the project as it moves forward. the stanford team will present to the council at 6:00 tonight. at city hall it is a public meeting. if you want to weigh in, you can do that. among the impact, the housing availability and also the impact on traffic and on noise in this area. on the stanford campus, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." . let's get a look at weather and traffic together. they're really going to go hand in hand as the roads are slick this morning. >> we have seen a continuation of that but it will clean up pretty soon here, kari. gooding. >> it will clear up. as we take a look at the time lapse in san francisco and we did at times have rain pouring down and low visibility and we got a tenth of an inch of rain

that was off and on throughout the day and now we had a little bit of time for the roads to dry out. as you go this morning, it is looking nice and clear. a look at the radar and satellite and a couple only light splotches of green here and a little bit of rain as you head out and most of us not seeing that as of now. hour by hour in berkeley. still have clouds out the the day and every now and then the sun will peek out and chance of rain through early afternoon and temperatures in the lower 60s. breezy and cool winds continue to blow through the bay area and that is the way we will start this new week and our temperatures much cooler and it will. still a chance of showers off and on this is the way it pans out. this is what the radar could look like at:00 this afternoon. we see some rain that is heavy at times, but very hit or miss and even continuing into tonight and into the day tomorrow, still some light showers. some light showers moving through. but the rainfall totals will only make it up to about 0.25.

and, once again, yesterday we had 0.1 in san francisco and another 0.25 will be pretty good. over the next three days, we'll be in the mid-60s and then into the upper 60s as the sun begins to just as the clouds move out and we'll have a lot of sunshine in the peninsula up to 68 degrees and also some low 60s for san francisco up to 66 degrees there on wednesday. heading into the north bay some today, but clearing out tomorrow. some low 70s for wednesday and the east shore also looking at more about the same, the tri-vall tri-valley. we'll have cool temperatures to start this week and then it all clears out. we'll see that clearing throughout the rest of the workweek and our temperatures really warming up on thursday and friday. i'll have another look at the forecast coming up and let's head to the tri-valley now with mike. >> a lot more cars than half an hour ago when we took this live camera. the traffic flow still at the speed limit and we'll show you on the map the speed limit that the dublin interchange and not

right? >> why not? >> what is black and white and running all over? two zebras on the loose on the streets of oakland. >> this is actually pretty funny. they were loose on friday. here's a photo of the pair on the lamb after escaping from a traveling circus that was set up near o.co coliseum. they managed to wrangle both fairly quickly and brought them back to the circus. but, wait, there's more. >> there is. the idea of escape is, obviously, growing on this zebra. check out this video. imagine just riding around in philadelphia and seeing zebras. >> not on a safari. >> you're not in africa. >> a similar thing happened last november to the same circus company. that's when two zebras from the universal circus escaped for more than a half hour. no word yet if those zebras were the same two behind this jail break. of all the animals from the

circus that could escape and be on the loose, better the zebras. >> no kidding. let's check the forecast right now with kari. the rain falling out there. >> we've seen it in some spots. we start out this morning with wet roads and in parts of the north bay yesterday, we did have 0.5 inch of rain and a lot of people heading out and we'll check in with mike in a bit to see what else is happening as you drive this morning. looking now at a couple of splotches of some green here. mainly in the far north bay. the rest of the bay area dealing with some fog and clouds and still, once again, those puddles from the rain yesterday. so, we do still have the cool and wet conditions. some breezy winds today and we will still have the off and on showers through at least the early afternoon. and then we'll start to see the rain tapering off later tonight. there still will be a chance of some rain in the north bay tomorrow. so, looking at a mainly dry conditions for the rest of the bay area.

but that slight chance that we could have some rain dropping at any point and the rainfall totals may get up to about 025 and, once again, that comes down on top of the 0.5 in the north bay and o.1 we had in oakland. winds rushing onshore that will keep our temperatures down and the winds gusting up to about 25 to 30 miles an hour. maybe a little bit higher at times and then starting to calm down as we go into tonight. that chance of rain today and then partly cloudy skies tomorrow. temperatures in the lower 60s. we'll have more of the same in the peninsula into the upper 60s. san francisco getting a chance to dry out, as well. and some sunshine for the middle of the week. in the north bay, we'll be up to 70 degrees on wednesday and those temperatures continue to go up from there. even into the upper 70s for spots by the end of the week and we stay dry today. pretty much that last chance that you'll get a measurable

rain for the next seven days. i'll have another update on that, but let's head to the bay bridge now with mike. >> kari, no surprises. bay bridge metering lights on. the whole camera is out. lets prr move over towards oakland. the backup still is in the whole toll plaza. over here oakland 880 southbound watching for a crash that just cleared a couple minutes ago from the shoulder here and traffic now, again, at speed. and no more problems over on the right side of that southbound direction. the map will show you that overall the entire area and highway 4 shows more traffic and over towards 242 and we typically see a slow down there and the end of the b.a.r.t. line still closed as far as bus trains go and we do have a few more folks hitting the road. tri-valley and hayward with no surprises over there and getting over the san mateo bridge. 87 shows some slowing over the last ten minutes and live look at fremont heading down into the south bay. 880, as well, coming down into
