now. a very good monday morning to you. hope you had a great weekend. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm sam brock. we'll get to that tassajara closure that could make things tricky. first kari hall joins us with a cloudy monday. >> clouds along the coast and in san francisco. inland area starts out with clear skies. a milder start as we go into the rest of the day, we'll see temperatures dropping five to ten degrees cooler from yesterday. looking like a great way to start out the week. 71 will be the high in the east bay and 65 with partly cloudy skies in the city. what to expect as our temperatures continue to drop this week. let's go over to mike now. looks like could you hit the cruise control in some spots. >> most of your spots. look at the green around the area. we have slowing. typical pattern here. in toward the fremont direction 880 and 680. we are tracking that crash.

there is a tri-valley build. we'll talk about that closure. we have a reroute and more detail in a few minutes. over here that's where all the activity is or inactivity. we are showing you the backup. we have low clouds. you can see those clouds moving. there is a little breeze. not a concern for drivers but was a concern for our next story. >> thank you very much. new video from within the last hour of a historic take-off from right here in the bay area. we watched it unfold. solar impulse 2 continuing its journey across the world. listen to how quiet that is. the next stop is going to be in phoenix. we brought you take-off here on "today in the bay." >> bob redell is live at moffett field. quite the sight to see out there. >> good morning. one hour down. unfortunately about 15 hours to go just to get to phoenix.

impulse 2 can only travel at 47 miles an hour. that's why it's going to take the pilot 16 hours to get to phoenix. this is one leg of several legs to become the first solar powered airplane to make a trip around the world relying solely on the power of the sun without expending any fossil fuels. >> able to fly the stratosphere, stay in the air six months and do communication works of salvation. a more sustainable alternative than what is out there today. >> solar impulse 2 left abu dhabi in march last year for its around the world quest. it left japan, went to hawaii and got stuck in hawaii nine months while they repaired the

batteries. last week the solar impulse 2 left hawaii on a two night, three day trip here to california. it crossed over the golden gate bridge. they don't know how long it will take to get across the united states. it depends on the weather and wind. that's why they took off at such an unusual hour this morning. they hope to cross over by the statue of liberty, came in the golden gate, leave by the statue of liberty and over to abu dhabi. >> crawling along into the history books. >> 6:05. popular road that helps drivers bypass gridlock will be closed for months. that could mean more traffic on interstate 580 and 680. >> talking about tassajara road. a lot of people use that to get

74% of people are saying it's harder to find someplace to live and only 3% saying it's easier now that the recovery is under way. median home price in the bay area hit $1.25 million in 2015 according to the stayed board of equalization. consider according to the economic policy institute, it costs at least $80,000 for a family of four to live comfortably in the bay area. the bay area council surveyed more than 1,000 people online. not a lot of impact from the margin of area. bay area council will reveal more of its findings by the number of people who want to leave california in the coming years. a lot of that is talk. it could become more real if these situations do not change. kris sanchez, today in the bay. >> thank you very much. one of the reasons people might want to bolt is the cost of
