7:56 am
into milpitas over to sunnyvale and to your job in the valley. it looks pretty good. there are no major problems on 101. you a though it's slow getting into sunnyvale. we mention -- although it's slow getting into sunny vary. we mentioned things are improving on 85 northbound. let's go to steve. plenty of low clouds. a few sunbreaks here and there. temperatures starting off a little cooler this morning. about as big a fog bank as i've seen on the coast for a lodge, longs time. that it will burn off. temperatures will -- not much of a change. in the 50s for many compared to last week when we were in the 70s. with that fog bank there, it's tough to warm up that much. a little breezy to windy, especially out to the window. afternoon highs do warm up away from the coast. but closer to it. you will find a lot of 60s and 70s. inland, 80s to 90s. these are close to seasonal
