and low 70s for much of the east bay and also some breezy winds, and all of that ocean air being transported inland. 63 degrees the high in san mateo. san francisco stays in the upper 50s today, another repeat of yesterday with that mist and drizzle. and in santa rosa, look for a high of 65 degrees and some breezy winds coming in. as we're goetting dressed, if it's drizzling, put on a hat because it's going to be a day for a bad hair day and jacket too. it will be cool all day long and you need extra layers at the a's game, coliseum first pitch at 58 degrees and breezy and partly cloudy. looking at the satellite imagery, we're seeing just a few clouds rolling by. then as we widen out the view showing the next disturbance that will be here by tomorrow morning into early friday morning. looking at how this will pan out for us, we're looking at a lot of clouds for the coast inland areas, clear out today.

for tomorrow, more clouds and then heading into friday, there will be a few spotty showers rolling by, especially for the north bay. rest of the bay area does look like it will stay dry and we'll also have cooler temperatures but then right after that system clears out, we'll feel those temperatures warming up quickly up to 90 degrees on memorial day. still hot on tuesday as well. san francisco going from the 60s into the low 70s. and mike, you're tracking two crashes and a closure. >> the closure i already tweeted about that as you follow me on twitter at mike inouye. we'll remind you where that was. this is not a closure but first of the two crashes westbound 80. your commute direction at the boulevard, a big rig went off the roadway and busted into those barrels at the off ramp. those barrels are now broken and there may be cleanup work going on. no lanes reported blocked but the slowing for the activity and flashing lights off thebridge, only the cash lanes currently have a backup and we'll track

over the next 15 to 20 minutes to make sure they clear. i expect a lighter volume overall but the early commute may see early slowing as you head in towards the weekend. we're looking over here towards north 101 and broadway. the second crash results in the barrels being broken here. activity off the lanes. the off ramp is open again at broadway but we may have activity there. i'll let you know if they have to have any closures but probably not for the morning commute. a smooth drive and that overnight closure in palo alto is open. you're back at speed university up towards willow. back to you. >> thank you, mike. >> 4:48, it's technology being touted by federal authorities as a tool to prevent some violent crimes. >> the investigative unit found many police agencies aren't using it despite the technology being around since the 1990s. stephen stock tells us what it is and finds out why.
