5:01 am
that's right. we talked about bear creek road. we'll show you the freeway. everything is operating normally for the freeways. highway 17 had a lot of slowing and i think that's why. we talked about the issue being about three miles off highway 17 on bear creek road. chp just told us this is just off the roadway. if you know where that is this is something you should be concerned about. if you don't know where that is the slowing for highway 17 did clear i think after they got the closure completed. bear creek road will be closed to after 6:00 a.m. because of this tractor-trailer that stuck at a hairpin turn. it's a windy roadway. it could not make it through. it sounds like there's a construction project. the freeways again move well. here are your travel times over to the bay bridge. no problem teja at the toll plaza. 5:01. to breaking news out of san jose. police are on the scene of a homicide investigation after an armed robbery at a liquor store took a violent turn.

mountain lion has crossed highway 101. they are calling the big cat p-55. they collared him. he showed up on video in a backyard and is currently roaming the mountains. experts say this is only the fourth documented case of a mountain lion crossing highway 101. they started keeping track of this stat back in 2002. >> california cat. >> he is. terrifying scene caught on camera going viral this morning. >> hikers here face-to-face with a mountain lion. take a look. this happened friday in had is sequoia national park. they posted a picture online. they were almost done with their hike on the sierra trail when it blocked their path. you're not going anywhere. walk on by. the hikers waited for half an hour hoping the mountain lion would move, but they were smart.
5:48 am
they didn't run. you can hear them saying, what am i supposed to do? eventually the hikers turned around. they just found another way to finish the trail. >> maybe if you talk really soft he won't hear us strategizing about what we're going to do. >> but they always say make noise, right? >> make noise and be big. >> alarger than life. >> that's why you want me around. i'm the sacrificial lamb. no problem. >> a good day to be hiking. i have your forecast coming up. let's get a look at what you're feeling and seeing as you step out the door right now. a live look over san francisco. it's cloudy. it's drizzling. the seven-day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen and right now we're at 60 degrees in san francisco heading up to 67. as you make plans here is a look at how those temperatures shape up for today. cools down just a couple of degrees, mostly cloudy skies
5:49 am
with that drizzle at 60 degrees at 10:00 and then in the upper 60s later today as that sun breaks out it's going to be a beautiful afternoon. oakland will be up to 73 degrees and 83 degrees in san jose. just a few degrees warmer than it was yesterday but once those winds kicked in during the evening it felt really nice, and we're still going to have some really warm temperatures from concord to antioch down to livermore and morgan hill in the upper 80s while napa and santa rosa in the mid-80s. looking live in san jose and getting started for the day getting dressed this morning not a hard one. maybe something like short sleeves or pants to stay nice and comfortable. cool to start but warming up la later today. and if you are going hiking we talked about trying to avoid the mountain lions. it will be a good day for hiking as well in the east bay. high temperatures are reaching into the low 80s. and it will be windy later on this evening as those gusts pick up to 20 miles an hour. if you are going golfing in the tri-valley we will have mid-60s to start.
5:50 am
a great day all afternoon but make sure you brip the sunscreen because it will be bright and sunny and warming up, too. san francisco stays in the 60s over the next several days. and it looks nice also in time for the weekend. inland areas in the upper 80s today and then cooling just a few degrees in time for saturday and sunday. it looks great. and mike is still tracking three important crashes right now. >> that's right. first one and two and three and four crashes. i'm going to have to fix my map. while i talk about the important one northbound 101 at story road, i'm going to jog over to my traffic machine as well. north 101 at story we have this crash involving a tanker but it's an empty tanker. at least won't have the risk of that fuel being leaked all over the place but it's still if the middle lanes and, in fact, your left three lanes are blocked. that's a big problem as folks head through the area. i want to show you the overall picture of the traffic flow for the bay as we look at the wide shot here because we had the other issue i wanted to point out first.
5:51 am
this is southbound 101 our newest of the three crashes over at industrial parkway. now that is currently moving to the right shoulder. you see the slowing as traffic builds coming past the san mateo bridge. it should be concerned. this is a traffic focal point of the morning commute as well. a third of the crashes, this is it, the closure of bear creek road just west of highway 17. now that is an issue. the semitruck could not make the hairpin turn over the windy roadway. the biggest issue on our waze system is that northbound 101 closure at story road is right here so this route, the blue one, takes you about an hour. if you just jog over to the purple route through the slowing which is building highway 87, you can still beat that by 35 minutes. waze will help you as we show that ripple effect for san jose. join our team. you'll see the name change just like that guy. back to you. >> he is a talented man, fixing mams and doing the traffic report at the same time.
