but again i think it will be very light in nature and short duration. pass that, we are back in the sunshine. temperatures start to climb yet again. in fact, by early next week we could see '70s once again for the bay area. as 616 hears whether there's that-now traffic with a torch. >>george: an accident occurred right here at the north and a possible curve and right were the central freeway meets interstate 80 the the james lick freeway began to. the accident now gone up with no residual slowing. bay bridge we didn't have to get early activation of the metering lights because of the san francisco crash. that was lucky but things are starting to slow here and you can see it's fasttrack commuters in the center lanes that are most of the traffic heading to the bridge. it's not backed up except a ride through the center lanes from here at the end of the east parking lot. golden gate bridge

looks good. how about 92. sam still looks good. the volume is building up as we are packing more cars into smaller spaces on the san mateo bridge. the westbound ride is still tracking at 30 minutes. tracking the commute for you as we look first at your east bay ride. interstate 80 westbound still just a 14 to 60 minute drive time. we've picked up a little slowing on at 6 '80s out for the ride out of concord and pleasant hill. west 580 still slow from the optima to the dublin interchange. south a traffic just beginning to pick up some slowing 011 north bound and your north bay ride looks good from about all the way to the golden gate bridge in fact it still looks good from petaluma heading south towards the capp the line. >>darya: it looks good for the 49ers. they're up against a near mirror image this weekend in carolina.

the carolina panthers are a team led by a dynamic and dangerous young quarterback and backed up by a stellar defense. kron 4's sports director gary radnich spoke with hall of famer steve young about the similarities between colin kaepernick and carolina's cam newton. bamut take a look and then go. when he goes and has grown to go like he did last week he devastates teams. the teams he struggled against dark teams like carolina and seattle. he takes a look and when he doesn't see if he goes down. it's a defensive front that to differ from a lot of teams in the late so that's the challenge and that's what seems like this are particularly difficult because of the nature of them. >>: give us your thumb nail sketch of cam new 10. >>: he's got a lot better. he last year. he struggled

trying to manage and i think the carolina panthers saw what the 49ers did. and they said look we are going to restate to we are. we're not going to put the spotlight on camp new to many more. every time we walk into the state is not all about him. they have a ferocious defense especially the front seven and a great running game and cam we're going to stop them back a little bit and we are going to be more careful and we are going to save some of the heroic things towards the end of the game. that's exactly what the 49ers have done historically it since the jim harbaugh era. it looking at another team very similar to 49ers in strategy and how they approach the game and how they have a young could dynamic quarterback. he strides because of that three and a row question for me is when they get into these big games the alecia and take more risks

and he was talking i figured he would be talking about kapernick. because that's exactly what we are facing. two similar teams. you can see the rest of gary's interview with steve young tomorrow night on sports night live right here on kron 4 at 9. the mayors of san francisco and charlotte have made a friendly wager over the 49ers' playoff game with the panthers. if the niners win, charlotte mayor patrick cannon will have to wear niners gear at the u-s conference of mayors later this month. and must give san francisco mayor ed lee some of charlotte's famous barbeque pulled pork. if the panthers win, mayor lee will don panthers colors, and surrender some boudin sourdough and ghirardelli chocolate to mayor cannon. there's no getting along a football. 621. we'll be back with more th mwholwheatoas♪
