resolved. there was an outage with the vendor that provides flight data for southwest. you can see the gate area, ticket counter at oakland international. it's also southwest and united. they have resolved the issue with this issue. we presume it is the same as with other airlines. we are seeing a lot of on times. this is for your departures. and similar for family coming in today. whatever this was, this vendor that had the issues that provide them computer software guidance for flight planning, it was down. there were delays. this was affecting more of the east coast because they are up earlier than us. but that issue has been resolved. we're not seeing much impact here. definitely not at oakland international and presumably throughout the other airports. reporting live in oakland, bob redell, today in the bay. >> thank you very much, be bob. in the meantime, we want to show you a map that you can see here that looks at flights across the country.

little bit higher, especially the coastal mountains. that will carry into saturday. showers will be possible for sunday's forecast as well. here's a look at the next seven days. all right. light rain on and off for today and tomorrow. some areas may not get any rain. weapons, we get a chance to take a break, dry out. thursday into friday, a better chance of seeing widespread rain with higher rain totals. so for now, even though we are expecting light showers, it will not be a complete washout. >> good for monday, monday's image. we have a lot of backup at the bay bridge. it was much worse five minutes ago. things have started to smooth out. a backup in the lanes. we will see traffic smoothing smoothly at the bridge itself.
