stretching closer to ukiah. our first chance for wet weather in the date is 8:00 a.m. near santa rosa. advancing closer to lunch time, things become more widespread in to the north bay. we could pick up a moderate rainfall. by 1:00 p.m. the wet weather shifted southward. we could see straggles in downtown san francisco and portions of the east bay. we will continue to see on and off showers throughout most of the bay. you will see that the showers continue into the evening hours as well. the afternoon highs look like this, a lot of the '50s. not many locations will get into the '60s. corked into the north bay we will see on and off showers into the mid '50s. 55 looks to be a, a number. your 7 day around the bay forecast shows a wet weather on tap for tomorrow morning, we

not set, this could turn into a huge snag. it is right between the san mateo and dumbarton bridges. this is normally heavily traveled area. we will be getting an update from caltrans in a moment. it is late for the nimitz freeway to have lanes called off. if as you can see, it is already starting to slow southbound. watching in this as a potential hot spot, this could be a big problem. on the bay bridge westbound, you can see that things are still looking pretty well. the backups are in the cash lane only. the metering lights have not yet been activated. the golden gate bridge ride looks did

in both directions. in the east bay we told you about a problem developing, nimitz. here's a look at 680, high with four and 80. it is all clear, so are the south bay freeways. the marin commute is still without delay for 101 southbound. >>james: a developing story out of a vallejo, police are looking for a second suspect in the shooting of that vallejo police officer. this was the scene yesterday when a 19 year veteran was gunned down in a pursuit of a bank robbery suspect. police have arrested one suspect but it is unclear if that person shot and killed the officer. police responded to reports of a bank robbery at bank of america on springs road around 1:30 p.m.. officers spotted the suspect as you see, after a 3-4 mi.
