5:19 am
we'll be at 59 degrees at 11:00 and 61 degrees at noon. our highs today reaching into the mid-60s, which is still about normal, as we go into the day, even though we have rain and a cold front approaching. this is such a slow-moving cold front it's going to spend most of the time this morning in the north bay, and then gradually make its way into san francisco by the afternoon. but the rain that we're seeing right now in areas like clover dale and ukiah, and extending over toward clear lake have been in the same spot for the past several hours, and once again, this system is moving very slowly, but will gradually make its progress into the rest of the bay area. so this is storm number one moving in that will bring us some rain. the second storm right behind that will be here as we go into wednesday, and it looks a little bit stronger. so this starts out with some rain that once again mostly hits the north bay. by 1:00, we're just starting to see it make its way in to san
5:20 am
francisco. for the east bay, it may not be until about 5:00, and maybe even a little bit later for the tri-valley and for the south bay, mostly after sunset we'll see that rain moving in, and then our rainfall totals with this initial line of rain will be about a quarter inch of rain for areas south and east of the golden gate bridge, maybe a little bit higher for santa rosa. we do also have a winter weather advisory in effect for the sierra after a nice stretch of some quiet weather. we'll see some more snow moving in and the snow this week may total up to about two feet, and elevations above 5,000 feet. so we're going to have a lot to watch here in terms of rain for the bay area, and snow for the sierra, also going to be windy headed into wednesday, high temperatures reaching into the mid-60s. mike, do you have some good news for palo alto? >> i do. this shot looks similar to what we've been showing you but there was yet another traffic break over the last 20 minutes and now everything should be moving smoothly as you come up toward university for northbound 101,
5:21 am
all lanes have been cleared of that earlier crash, and the big tire that caused the problem in the first place up toward embarcadero and oregon expressway. no more slowing there. peninsula is great, south bay, tri-valley, look at that, contra costa county. just a little slowing out of theality month pass and althe altamont pass and more traffic at the bay bridge. brentwood toward concord and richmond, a smooth flow of traffic. the bay bridge toll plaza though does have an early backup that formed over here for all lanes. that means the cash takers are open as well. that's a lot of traffic here and across the span. we see how packed it is up the incline, so it looks like there's a big rush to get into the city this morning, maybe a lot of folks have to catch up on some work. this jam up on the incline though is going to cause the metering lights to be turned on at least at the regular time, and should be turned on now so this may result in a little more jamming in toward san francisco until they do get the metering lights to sort of ease up the traffic on the span. here is the rest of the north bay drive, no delays, 101 all the way down to san francisco.
5:22 am

nasa's mars 2020 rover, when nasa is opening to explore a remote region of the planet. we've been talking about this, director jordan peele's second horror movie "us" opened this weekend in the number one spot at the box office. >> hey, hey, hey! hey! hey! >> yeah, that was a scary part there of the film. the horror film brought in $70.3 million over the weekend. here is a little something to be excited and scary about. look closely when you see some of the scenes here, because some of the scenes were shot in santa cruz beach there on the boardwalk. many joke they won't be visiting boardwalk this summer after seeing this film. hmm.
