rosa but notice by friday, our winds shift direction and we will have our winds blowing offshore. so that brings in some hot temperesui on saturday and we'll have our and most of ourho winds into saturday. look how the temperatures respond. we'll be up to 100 degrees on saturday, still really hot on sunday. but the heat backs off and the ocean breeze returns early next week. looking forward to that cooldown but we're going to have a couple of days of really warm weather while san francisco reaches into the 70s in time for the pride festivities this weekend. is an leandro clear? >> they are both clear around ma rena.slowdown out of the corridor past west north wind road and west grantline. west 580 over here towards the dublin interchange. a couple of incidents. there was a fender in the lanes
