dave. still looking very nice if you're in most areas although a bit more crowded. the bay bridge you might we've with me if you look at this picture and say that's not very nice. well, for this time of the morning i think it is. if you look on the left not too much crowding coming in from 880 and only backed up land army base. for this time i think that's pretty good only 10 minute delay. 101 looks great approaching the 80 split. peninsula or hayward southbound traffic on 88 getting slower but not too much as you dry down to fremont. sal, i just tweeted you. >> i will look for it right now. >> good morning everyone. little change here today. we're in between, the tweener, as one system moves out. more showers popping up mainly north bay. mostly sunny day south bay. partly cloudy elsewhere. waiting for the last system in the series usually two things the strongest and toughest time. clouds, sun, few showers today are likely. we're not completely done the way the pattern is right now wouldn't surprise me if there's

a little hit and miss shower activity. tomorrow increasing clouds should be warmer as we get a south wind in advance of that system which could arrive friday night but more likely saturday. the weekend cloudy with off and on rain. some could be moderate to heavy. the question is when does it show up. the low may sit here and spin a little bit. it does not have something to bump it along. therein lies the key. every other system has had a kicker. our june is starting off looking more like march. the first couple of days have been very active. we've had hail, rain, funnel clouds, tornadoes, the pattern will calm down after tuesday the 7th. i don't think it will be hot or anything, but it looks like a series of lows will start to kind of wind itself down a little bit. friday, saturday, sunday and probably monday. we'll still be in line for some rain and maybe significant rain depending on where that low sets up shop. the one here now is moving. packed its bags headed into northeast california. very active if you have to travel to northeast california or even in the sierra still lingering showers. a lot of low clouds though

banking up towards the northwest hitting i'd say more in the north bay. few showers near santa rosa. just kind of still flirting there. some of that rain leftover in the that's 24 hours. napa quarter inch, petaluma .2. sfo, redwood city, about .14 or .15 and a bunch around .10 to .12. concord, livermore, crockett was in there as well. about a tenth of an i think for some. 40s and 50s. everyone's really close on these temps. what's new it's another cool morning. but really the afternoon highs that continue to be the coolest. one low moves out. the next system is dropping in. so partly sunny to mostly cloudy today. more clouds to the north. more sun to the south. few light showers off and on rain but we're about done with that at least for about another 24 hours. the next system is going to move in and it will be there. the question is when will it move? the timing is really tough. the low develops offshore this may be a pattern where the coast gets rain first and inland raring do not.

i'll have updated information in about 50 minutes if you're just sitting at home or whatever. if you have to go we'll deal with it tomorrow. sun, clouds, light rain, mostly sunny, partly cloudy, 50s and 60s really cool on these afternoon highs. should be in the low 80s for many. warmer towards the santa clara valley and peninsula little more sunshine today than yesterday. increasing clouds friday. rain could start on the coast friday night but more likely saturday morning. question is when will that low move in? sure looks like sunday and monday. those will probably be the best days for rain. time now 6:42. and four people are dead after a rare tornado hits massachusetts. we want to show you some live pictures right now from springfield. you can see above there that that is just springfield this morning. recovery efforts are getting underway there this morning. the winds did rip roofs off buildings and broke trees into small pieces that went flying through windows. witnesses say they were stunned by just how ferocious and quick the wind was. more than 40 people were hurt across the southern part of that state. time now 6:42. no damage reported so far this morning after at least one

tornado and several funnel clouds touched down, yes, in northern california. look at this amateur video. one of the tornadoes there this is the north edge of yuba city touched down just before 6:00 yesterday evening. also reports of funnel clouds across several counties including butte, sutter and yuba. same area where several tornadoes touched down last week. yesterday's storms actually died out as they moved into the sierra foothills. time now 6:43. trouble in the air. the airport where this plane was forced to make an emergency landing and the high profile passengers it was carrying. and china says google is wrong about a cyber attack on its g mail system. good morning. 680 traffic looks pretty good as you're driving on southbound 680 through fremont. we'll tell you more about the east bay and the rest of the commute straight ahead. ding?

here's a look at top stories we're following. hayward police still searching for missing nursing student michelle le. they're going to focus on cell phone calls. evidence someone was making calls on le's cell phone the day after she disappeared. later this morning phillip and nancy garrido will be sentenced for kidnapping and

raping jaycee dugard. prosecutors are asking for maximum sentence of 431 years for phillip garrido. jaycee dugard may make an appearance at that sentencing. players from the los angeles angels are safely back on the ground this morning after their plane was forced to make an emergency landing overnight. delta charter plane landed at l.a.x. last night. it was originally headed for john wayne airport in santa anna. but the pilot made the decision to land early after noticing a hydraulic problem. no one was hurt. the team was coming back from an away game in missouri and able to finish up the rest of its trip by bus. time now 6:47. japan's prime minister just survived a no confidence motion in parliament today. before the vote prime minister there told members of parliament he'd be willing to resign once japan recovers from the tsunami disaster. opposition parties submitted the no confidence motion against the prime minister because they weren't happy with his handling of the quake and tsunami disaster that

devastated japan in march. there have been some new explosions in the capitol city of yemen. you're looking at the pictures there. clashes between rebel tribes men and security forces have been reported right near the presidential palace. 39 people died yesterday in heavy fighting across the city. the opposition forces are demanding that the president step down. china is denying reports that hackers in that country broke into hundreds of g mail accounts. google which owns g mail believes the hackers obtained pass words through g mail accounts and changed settings on some of them. it says hackers were able to monitor the accounts of u.s. government officials, chinese local activists, journalists and military personnel. implications that it helps support such activities are completely unfounded. this morning a man will be charged with breaking into an oakland apartment and stealing a computer. that computer itself helped track down the suspect. the mac book had a theft tracking software called hidden. and it snapped these pictures.

the mac books real owner posted pictures on his blog and included pick e-mails of his employer of a cab company. >> we have about 2400 theft reports coming through our system every single month. we have three theft investigators passed with handling all of those. >> the software works by tracking the computer's location in quarter mile increments and then takes photos with a built in web cam. it also monitors online activity which is how police found out about the cab company. hidden software costs about $15 a year. interesting. time now 6:49. sal will help you get to where you need to go. you're watching the toll plaza and every place else. >> that's right. we have more crowding at the toll plaza. if you are driving into the commute. but we're going to start with the maps with the hayward commute. hayward to fremont union city looks like miles canyon road getting quite a work out if you use that to get over to 680.

then we have a look at the southbound 87 little slow getting up to 280 in downtown san jose. the rest of the south bay commute looks okay. and on the peninsula 101 and 280 still looking good with some slowing already on 92 eastbound on the way to 101. speaking of 101 let's two to 101 in san francisco. northbound looks good into the city that way. dave mentioned the toll plaza. it is busy now. backed up for about a ten minute wait. nothing more than that. once on the bridge looks good into the city. let go to steve. sal, thank you, sir. mostly sunny towards the south bay and mostly cloudy north. partly sunny, partly cloudy. today a few light rain showers. falling north bay a little in the east bay. not much but it's there. so we'll mention it. but we get a little more sunshine and slightly warmer. just a little bit. especially towards santa clara valley. system continues to rotate out of the area. the wrap around could produce a few showers or just the nature of this system just kind of bubbling up the atmosphere later. but a lot of calmer today as weak high pressure builds. should have more clouds than

anything else. light rain hanging around between santa rosa, st. helena. can't say i blame it. it's a nice place to hang out. still be there. south bay though web camera san jose state meteorology department mostly sunny. mostly sunny. a quarter of an inch in napa last 24 hours. petaluma .2. normally you'd say what's the big deal but for the first couple days of june this is a big deal. sfo .15. and redwood city was in there. concord, livermore, dublin, crockett all around a tenth of an inch .12. not much change in the temperatures t. they've been stuck for a long time. that low's getting kicked out because the next system is dropping in. it's going to drop in right offshore. so the timing and when, where that all sets up will be determined tomorrow. but partly sunny to mostly cloudy today. more clouds to the north. more sun to the south. few light showers or off and on rain looks to be winding down. then we'll wait for that system and see when it wants to move. it will sit there. it doesn't have a kicker. that's the key.

it will sit there and spin. the low develops offshore. a lot of rain with it. just timing it when it moves in. maybe a case where you get rain on the coast but not inland saturday morning. don't cancel any soccer games or baseball games what have you yet. let's deal with this tomorrow. sun clouds, few light showers around. continued cool. no doubt about that. only slightly warmer peninsula and south bay i think about the same east bay and north bay just too much cloud cover there. and a few showers are possible but nothing compared to yesterday. increasing clouds friday. rain could start on the coast late friday, saturday. more likely saturday. it looks like that low once it finally does move in then everybody's in line for rain sunday, monday. all right. time now 6:52. may was a good month for many retailers. some high end stores reporting double digit increases in same store sales including a 20% jump by sax fifth avenue. in order symptom also a 7% jump from may of last year. target, kohl's and the parent of tj marx x also say sales were up although target sales not as strong as analysts forecasted. look at numbers. dow down about 16 points.

futures pointed to the higher opening today but looks like other economic numbers that came in this morning are making things fluctuate a bit. slighter dip in jobless claims and mixed retail sales we talked ability but stronger claims in productivity. yesterday was the biggest drop for the dow in nearly a year. 6:52. a very unusual sight spotted in the skies in the bay area. a theory behind what in the world this is over oakland. i promise you it gets better. >> it gets better. >> and the message the san francisco giants are hoping teaches tolerance toward some teenagers. good morning. right now traffic on highway 4 is getting busier even in bay point. tell you more about the morning commute and also take a look at the bay area forecast.
