alexis >>> good morning.nd i have live doppler 7 on top of our traffic maps so you can see widespread showers for this morning's commute and only going to get worse from here according to mike nicco there so just be prepared for a really wet day on the roads. keeping a close eye on southbound 101, approaching golden gate bridge, you're still cruising along there at 58 miles an hour and we've got some issues with that barrier. normally those zipper come through and give us four lanes sobruthbound, but that is not working this morning. we have three lanes. once we get into the 6:00 hour, we could see delays now. moving along just fine on the bay bridge, though metering lights are on at the toll plaza. most agencies back on their normal schedule today. additional vallejo service started yesterday. b.a.r.t. looking good today, nothing like yesterday's commute, 43 trains in sefrs right now. drive times coming up next oochltd scientists are puzzled. it seems that bottle nose dolphins with randomly and viciously att

so here's alexis. >>> yeah, it is. but definitely some welcome news that the heaviest of that rain is pushing out. here's a live look at the san mateo bridge. quite a few crashes around 880 and 92. those have cleared up. new one south of the dumbarton bridge. even though the heaviest of the rain is out of here, we still have some wet pavement and you need to slow down and really drive for conditions this morning. 46 minutes, westbound 580, still pretty soggy for your drive. southbound 680, 24 minutes so some delays to the tri-valley too. northbound 85 looking okay in the south bay, though. you are in the green at just about 16 minutes. next traffic update coming up in less than 10. >>> alexis, thank you. as she has been warning you, this morning's commute will be much messier. >> amy hollyfield is tracking the biggest problem areas right now to show us what we can expect when we hit the roads. >> hi, natasha. it has been very busy. we've been following the chp log online. there are so many calls for service, traffic co

i'll try to get to most of those coming up next. >>> alexis, thank you. this morning's commute is going to be a lot messier than what we saw yesterday. >>> amy hollyfield is tracking conditions on the roads for us. amy, it's been a busy morning out there. >> very busy. i'm going to show you the latest situation that police are dealing with. a car -- well, this minivan right here crashed into three parked cars, which you can see on the other side of this street. this happened on brotherhood way in san francisco. the police officer here tells me this is the taraval district. they say weather was likely a factor that this driver was probably going too fast for the conditions, probably slid on the slick roads and also had visibility issues because of all the rain that was coming down. no one was hurt in this situation. that's the good news. they are waiting, though, for tow trucks to come to clear out this situation. that could take a while because if you are a tow truck operator, it has been a very busy night. reporting live in san francisco, amy hollyfield,

we haven't had many of those, alexis. how about on the roads. >> well, yeah, i'd say we're looking pretty typical in that we've got a couple trouble spots, northbound 880 one of them. we have that seven-car crashes this is a sig alert, three left lanes are still blocked and a couple of miles of delay there, spilled over on to 238 as well. in the meantime, i'm looking for a crash within the bay bridge toll plaza there in the car pool lanes, haven't spotted it on camera and it's looking pretty average here when we check on our maps, i'll have an update on that. look at mass transit coming up in less than ten. >>> remember the self-driving uber cars with all the equipment on top? they're back on the streets in san francisco. >> uber pulled its cars after getting in a fight with the city and state over permits so how are they able to allow self-driving again? they weren't aren't. amy hollyfield live to explain this morning. >> reporter: good morning, reggie. this is the warehose where they keep them. we haven't seen them roll

alexis? >>> all right, mike, just show that had really heavy rain on live doppler 7, right around the hayward area. here's a live look at that on our traffic camera. a lot of rain on the lens there and if you can see through that, on to the roadway. we've just got some big rooster tails, some really tough driving conditions this morning. it will improve later in the day, so boy, if you can delay that trip, i highly recommend that. that orange, that yellow you're seeing on live doppler 7, that's some really heavy stuff. this just pushed through san francisco as well. showed you that video of a lot of flooding around 101 and 80 sper change, also 280 and cesar chavez. southbound 101 just before the 280 merge, they're working on clearing that accident. we had all lanes stopped just a few minutes ago. looks like that is starting to improve but tough commute. we have flooding in the tri-valley and rollover crash in the danville area. >>> thanks, alexis. if you use amazon a lot, we do have a warning

so, what are you looking at now, alexis? >> we've got pothole problems, reggie, all over the bay area but one in particular that we're looking at from sky7 right now. the actual pothole has been repaired and it was massive, about four feet across, it was so deep you could see the rebar in the road so you can understand just why it took them so long to repair it. they've been working on this since yesterday afternoon. looking at that long backup on we westbound 580 and we can't see the worst of it because the fog is so thick. but it stretches for seriously still about 12 miles. it spills over on to 205 as well. but i do have a little good news i want to quickly check our drive times, down to 1 hour 40 minutes, we were up to about 2 1/2 hours at our worst point this moing, tracy to dublin. so hold on a little bit longer, take ace rail this morning, probably ber. slight delay southbound 680 and a pretty minor issue here if you have traveling on westbound # 2, crash just past the san mateo bri bridge toll plaza. also a delay on
