coming up in about ten minutes, we will tell you about the main week where the delays happened again. and we have delays on the bay bridge and let's go to sal. at first this started as a stalled vehicle and apparently this crash looks like it is being moved and it looks like the bridge crash is being moved off and the lanes are open. this is encouraging news that the lanes are open so let's switch to a view of the toll plaza because they slowed the metering lights down a bit. even in a few minutes that they have opened these lanes, it looks likes we might see a little more movement. the last time we saw it, these cars were almost at a dead stop and now these are creeping along and the damage is done,

and we have at least a 30 minute delay at this time. it's good it didn't stay out there and the longer it stayed the worst it goes. hopefully within an hour it will be back to a normal hour but right now it is 30 minutes plus trying to get on to the bridge but if you are trying to get on, you might want to talk about taking part so at least you will be on time. let's look at westbound 580 and 680 there is a crash. watch for some slow traffic there. 640, let's go to steve. this is a cooler pattern and it could be a cool week as things continue and the  disagreement comes in. higher clouds from yesterday, we start to see some clouds starting to move in and there is no sign of any real rain but

warm. they are still holding on to some 80s and by tomorrow a lot of this will disappear. 67 in oakland, livermore 82, saratoga los gatos 77, menlo park 72 and 58 for passive i have can -- pacifica and a half moon bay. towards the end of the week a couple of forecast models are dropping a low with a very cool pattern. sierra lemar, we will tell you what they did to mark the somber day for the missing teen. and nhl lock out could hurt businesses in san jose. bay bridge, you can see the mcarthur maze getting crowded because of an earlier crash on

boost in business during hockey season especially on game days. >> it gets super busy during the nighttime and also when they have sunday when they went into the final, we were swamped in here, it was like, packed. san jose sharks are supposed to play their first season game on september 27th next week and it looks like that game and possibly the entire season may be in jeopardy. they may have less of a share than they had in their last contract but they are willing to take less but not as little as the owners want. this week hockey players made a you tube video citing their side of the distribute and they

are asking fans for patience. a vigil was held last night in morgan hill, they are marking it since teenage sierra lemar disappeared. the family members and friends and volunteers released the balloons with messages for sierra lemar and her mother said facebook messages have helped their family cope during this difficult time. also the man accused of kidnapping sierra lemar goes back to court next week. he goes back in may but has not entered a plea, antolin garcia- torres could be sentenced to the death penalty if he is convicted. it was closed since friday night which included an extension and new lighting.
