brown in the governor's race. >> meantime, want to check in with mike inouye and get a look at your morning commute. >> good morningwe had a problem, a couple of accidents southbound 680 through concord. both around geary road. the first cleared from the chp incident report. the second not updating. but it looks like a big improvement in the southbound side. a couple of lanes should be open. a nicer, easier drive. 242 is the problem now. keep in mind, 680 still a better route through the area towards that walnut creek interchange. further south, a new accident in the east bay. northbound 880 at mallory avenue. you see the slowing on the southbound side. the northbound side has an accident in the middle lanes. spectator slowing in the middle lanes. we'll follow that. the maze looking pretty smooth into the city. golden gate bridge into the city also, shows you a nice, easy drive. we can see the hills on the marin side. that's looking pretty good as far as visibility but it means a usually cooler day. >> that's a typical view there for san francisco. got the low clouds. in san jose, a pretty deep marine layer. all th
