the drive coming from livermore to dublin/pleasanton, it will be tougher today. the drive through san jose shows clear, no accidents out there, but we are following another sig-alert that happened in diction on with the details coming up in a little bit. >> thank you, leyla gulen, eric is paying close attention to this. new research finds there is a biological reason why some men find it difficult to read women's emotions. scientists gave male volunteers a brain scan looking at pictures of people's eyes and asked to describe how the people were feeling, the men found it twice as hard to guess a woman's mood as a man. the particpants understood what other men felt by remembering similar moments in their own lives but when they looked at women's eyes they found themselves...mystified. this meant that men found it harder to identify and feel for women's feelings. >> images of destruction with the latest from the town of west, texas, on the deadly fertilizer plant explosion. >> shock at a bay area company, some of the products helped >> abc7 news starts right now wit

live towards the dublin interchange, westbound 580, you can see some bunching up towards the dublin-pleasanton area. there's a big rig accident that sounds like two lanes are blocked now so it is stacking up at least for several exits. i just checked the drive time. it's up to a half hour now between the altamont pass and the dublin interchange. and a quick note about mass transit. we still have bart delays. this has nothing to do with the earlier situation involving that suspicious package. this is just some track maintenance issues they are having now. so right now anywhere from 5- to 20-minute delays in all directions out of the embarcadero station. that's traffic. here's brian with the forecast. >>> we are starting out with mostly clear skies around the bay area. the skies will be as blue as a swimmer's lips as temperatures warm up to 3 to 8 degrees warmer today nudging 80 degrees inland. toward the twin back-to-back suspension spans, built back in the early '30s, the old bay bridge there, and the numbers this morning, we'll insert those, 44 degrees at concord, 54 at oakland, 43 degrees li
