that doesn't mean no traffic. that's why we want to make sure our essential workers are getting out there. we're talking about pollution, dramatically different numbers. kari will talk to you about those numbers but i want to show you that tweet from the bay area district. kari will outline in more detail coming up. now the first line, though, says that these numbers they're reading for pollution suggest a drop in traffic, but we don't have to just suggest it because our partners at waze actually havehe change in traffic volume. they meter traffic and register it on surface streets all over as well as highways and waze says, yes, there's also a corresponding drop of about 70%. i wanted that confirmation because we don't care necessarily so much about the number of cars that are driving. we care about how many pollution producing miles they're driving around the bay. that number will be critical to kari's report coming up. i do want to slip in one more issue with traffic that's going on right now, and this is a

vehicle -- a tanker truck. 35,000 pounds of ethanol in that tanker truck. no leaks reported, but that truck is on the shoulder. and you see the flares there as well. kari, while we're talking about earth day and pollution, flares and smoke but no fire. that's the good news. what do you have for earth day? well, here's a live look outside in dublin you're talking about heading over to sunol. at least here in this spot we're looking good and our weather is also very clear. we've had some cool temperatures to start. we're going to talk more about that commute in just a second. i wanted to give you your forecast first off, looking at it temperatures that will start out in the upper 40s and lead into the mid-60s by early this afternoon. it continues to go up from there. and we're looking at all clear dry weather, high pressure building, and no storms heading our way. we will see an increase in cloud cover as the storm system to the north starts to move in as we go to the end of the week and to the weekend. still all dry, warm

temperatures. we have this high pressure building, and that will lead to temperatures that will be about ten degrees above normal going into the next several days. and so no rain in this forecast over the next several days. we're looking at highs reaching up to 82 degrees today. more 80s in the forecast. if you like the warm weather, it continues for a while. we're going to see those highs reaching into the 60s over the next few days. as we talk about the carbon dioxide and my carbon footprint for my household, we normally use about 52 tons of carbon dioxide a year. that's what we're putting out there. since we've all been staying at home right now the impact is at about 30 tons per year. now if we were to continue this on looking at the whole bay area, nbc bay area weather team, jeff is saving the most right now putting 24 less tons of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere a year.

in all we're making a huge impact with our carbon footprint just by working at home. you can calculate your savings as well. i have a link where you can also do these calalculations. we'll talk more about this and i'll interview a stanford professor coming up in the next 30 minutes. laura? sounds good. we'll check that out. a little rattled after an early morning earthquake happened just after midnight near inglewood. it was a 3.7 and felt from long beach through the hollywood hills. so far no injuries reported. this morning questions and conflicting reports about the health of leader kim jong-un. several u.s. officials telling nbc news that u.s. intelligence indicates kim recently had cardiovascular surgery and has been out of the public for days. the u.s. government is investigating his health st
