welcome back. good thursday morning to you. we are tracking your commute this thursday. looks like kind of light traffic on the bay bridge approach. we're leaving that to the pro. he's right here. >> you are correct. you are now the pro. i will hand it off to laura. >> no, we need you. there's more. >> kari, we will get to you in a second because we have stuff going on. let's go out to the roadways. let's show you what is going on with some of the roadways over here, the closure of 84 in the niles canyon area, and the land collide caused ace train to not run there. northbound 680 we are looking at the closure that is back. yesterday and today we have that

closure going on and it's scheduled to clear by 5:00. you can see 84 taking that as a reroute. we're looking at the lane shift causing more slowing as traffic is hitting the roadways. keep that in mind. it's narrow between 84 and getting in towards livermore. over here we have restrictions, traffic control for 92 between highway 35 and that's an issue because of the sinkhole. kari, it's a smooth ride for the rest of the bay. i would imagine this camera would be shaking, because i was shivering. >> shaking from the cold. this is a cold front that came through last night that brought us additional rainfall, and it will be chilly today and the next several days as we are seeing the rain pushing further to the south. then we will have flooding for a different reason. king tides will be back for the next several days. the sun, earth, moon aligned in

a way that gives a greater gravitational pull on the ocean, and they retreat as well so we will have extremely low tides. during the early morning hours we will deal with the coastal flooding in some of the low-lying areas that typically do flood during the king tides. it starts today and we will reach the high tide at 8:28 in san francisco. and then it gets a little later each day and we will reach the peak over the weekend. 55 in dublin, and 57 in santa rosa. tonight we dip down near or below freezing for a lot of spots, so even if it's not right at freezing, it may be frosty on your way out the door tomorrow morning. you want to make sure you are protecting the sensitive plants. as we go through the next several days and week or so no

rain ahead and we will have a chance to dry out. for once we are happy about not seeing any rain in the forecast for an extended period of time. we are also going to see chilly temperatures continue. look at the mornings dipping down to 32 for the weekend. it only gets slightly milder early next week. we will also see the sunshine continue as our temperatures only reach into the mid-50s, so it's going to be very chilly out there, not much of a warm-up in sight into next week. now, let's turn to today's climate in crisis. noaa and nasa found the earth average temperature tied in 2022 with 2015 as the hottest year ever. temperatures were 1.56 farenheit

warmer than the late 19th century average. 2 degrees may sound small to us, but it's throwing the world off balance. >> when the atmosphere is warmer it can hold more moisture, and that means when it rains you can get more massive amounts of rainfall, so flooding is much more likely to happen in a warming climate just simply because the atmosphere holds more moisture than the climate than when it's a regular normal climate. >> don't we know that. we are already seeing what our future could look like with juicier atmospheric rivers. there's hope to keep the earth from warming further, and you can see how you can help with that on nbcbayarea.com.
