mr. clark that is correct here.day. 40s 50s on the temps. most locations say sunny, but there is a little bit more fog showing up here this morning. system moving into the north is kind of the key that's going to open that door. so here comes sunshine for most, except for maybe over by the coast, you might have to deal with some of that low clouds. it'll still be warm inland, but not as warm as yesterday. 60s, 70s and 80s. well, maybe you're playing in the band and you have to load up the van. let's see how it is out there on the highways and byways. >> a little ripple, a slow traffic. steve. coming through. yes, sir. >> oh, my mic fell down again. >> it's hardly noticeable, though. sal >> don't you worry, it falls sometimes. you're telling me. yes. all right. good morning everyone. you know what? there is a ripple of slow traffic out there. the beginning to form. if you are driving on the richmond bridge, you can see that traffic is going to be okay, but it is a little bit slow across the bridge. no major issues he

mr. clarke i did, but i have to do another check for you. >> okay. just to get an update.little bit more fog there today and that will give way. it's 40s on the temps. not as cold as monday morning. that was cold, but a lot of 40s. a little bit of patchy fog out there. but we're all set for a beautiful day here. as temperatures rebound. they'll be right in the comfort zone for many patchy low clouds, lots of sun. there is a decent little onshore breeze though, so temperatures today 60s and 70s. all right. sometimes the traffic is bad, sometimes it's magnificent. let's find out what's going on at 5 a.m. >> you know what it is doing. okay we've had a couple of things going on out there. we have that crash in fremont that i was talking about earlier. it's still there, although it is not a big traffic jam just because it is nice and light out there. one of the things that i will mention is that if you are driving on the bay bridge approach, we still have a pretty good commute there. there's a triple a traffic. we're showing us that that commute looks pretty good heading into s

. >> that looks correct mr. clark here. it's a pretty good fog. bank is out there.o also a little bit of drizzle. so we have another big fog bank making a move here, temperature the wind out towards travis is up to 30 plus miles per hour. so 50 is on the temps. low overcast. that system to the north swinging through might produce a few high clouds well north, but overall look for a cooler pattern. 60s 70s on those temps. all right. sal is here at 430 on a monday. notice a little more traffic today, but not bad. >> it's tuesday steve. >> as i said, it's tuesday. i noticed more traffic today than monday. >> it feels like a monday for a lot of people. all right. we have a problem out there on northbound 880 right now, car went through a fence northbound 880 at marina boulevard. a white suv came off the freeway, went through a fence, hit a building, emergency response is on the way . sounds like, the vehicle it sounds like the occupant got out of the vehicle, but the medics are on the way anyway. and this might cause a problem on northbound eight 80in san leandro, so we

mr. clarke. >> that is correct.ing i'd add maybe a little drizzle for some may or may if you're inland, it won't matter. but if coast and bay you're like, hey, hey what's going on here? so it's 50 on the temps, we are looking for a mild start. almost everyone is in the 50s here, but there's another huge fog bank in place here, so i'm leaning on the cooler temps. not the warmer temps 60s and 70s. all right. sounds here for 30. anything we should know about are all good. it's all clear. >> which is nice, steve. and just kind of sitting around waiting for the rush to get here. if you can see it here, you can see traffic is moving along very nicely and we did clear that crash on 242 at for you may see a little bit of slowdown. i may just a little bit but the rest of the commute looks good. so we're just going to leave it alone as i like to do when things are doing very well. it's 430. let's go back to the headlines. >> all right. thank you. sal. less than a day after one group of pro-palestinian protesters packed up the

mr. clarke? oh no. no, no. all right.have a little change in the surface wind here instead of south. it's more west northwest. so our lows are cooler. we're getting some 40s. there's more of a westerly breeze. although we had a pretty good one yesterday. most locations have an onshore direction here. travis 25 gusts to 30. oakland west, concord. concord was only 71 yesterday, which is i mean amazing for this time of year, there were some low clouds hanging around till about noon for some. and i expect the similar to happen today onshore breeze, sfo, hayward or livermore. higher elevations mount veeder is only 55. they do have a little northeast but oakland. that's right above the claremont 47 degrees southwest at 18. good morning. i walk the dog. the dog will say, no, i think i'll wait, you have a lot of low clouds drizzle in place, few 40s. although petaluma is now 50, vallejo is also 50. but, brentwood is down a little bit. we are running cooler compared to 24 hours ago. 51 pacifica 49, montara beach, pillar point, half

thank you, mr. clark. appreciate that. we do have clear skies. some fog is out there. believe it or not, it's racing down the coast. but i just think there's too much high pressure today. but like a summer thursday here, at least, inland temperatures will be upper 70s, low 80s, sunny, nice and warm. big change though on the way on saturday it still looks like a good rain here. and by that i mean good amounts. not not good because it ruins your saturday 60s 70s and 80s. all right. sounds here at 7:00. where are we going? a bridge, a freeway. what >> yeah, let's go to the freeways. and that i want to show you. 80 approaching the macarthur maze. it looks all right. and we do see slightly better conditions today than we had the last few. when we had some pretty terrible crashes. right now, the bay bridge is backed up a typical delay, maybe about 25, 30 minutes before you make it onto the span, which is normal for this time of the morning. if you're looking at the san mateo or the dumbarton bridges, those bridges are a little bit easier to get to right now. 701 let's get ba

. >> i hope so, mr. clark, because this is what you're getting.rning here, a lot of 40s. now we're seeing 50s. but this is a pretty big fog bank considering the temps aloft and at the surface have come way down. it's impressive to see this much low cloud deck. but remember, the water temps are crazy cold 48 4950 so as i've been saying since april, it doesn't take much a windy as long as the pattern is right. windy. cooler friday mostly sunny unless you're on the coast and i think it's partly to mostly cloudy but 60s and 70s. that's it. on the temps it does look warmer. sunday. monday. ali, good news, a better news. >> some of the earlier problems are recovering on the traffic front. we're going to start with the south bay, which never really got going. thankfully it's been a pretty easy commute there for most of the morning. 880 in oakland is a bit slow as you pass the coliseum in the northbound direction. no major incidents there. once you get to the bay bridge toll plaza, things lighten up. be aware we don't have a live picture of it, but in the

. >> well, i use your help, mr. clark. and when it makes it here at the mothership, that's usually a pretty good sign that we're going to be cooler today. and then it will be a little bit of fog dancing out there. not a lot, but much more so than yesterday. and that's a sign of things to come next few days. so once again, you get like a day or two of warmer weather, then right back down we go. and that's exactly what's happening again. system moving into the north. that's that's helping to kind of usher in a cooler pattern. so now here comes sunshine, at least inland, but just not as warm as yesterday. cooler coast and bay still warm inland. but we're looking at now at 6070s to low 80s. not the mid or upper 80s. all right. the race is on for the morning commute. and here he is mr. south coast to tell us where it's good and where it's not. >> well, right now in berkeley. check this out. i'm going to put this up on the screen here for you. they had been blocking all the lanes. fire trucks are just look at this. they're just

madam chair, thank you, mr. clark.public comment on this item is now closed, thank you, president peskin, for calling for this hearing, what would you like to do, i would like to find an unlimited amount of resource to address the scope , that there's clearly a demonstrated need for. but no, in all seriousness, you know, as we've been grappling with rina and 82,000 units in eight years, there's been an extraordinary amount of the conversation, and we've made some pretty massive policy adjustments as it relates to the economic feasibility and reducing the percentage of on site inclusionary requirements, stream lining things, adding zoning capacity, but none of that results in a single l.a. unit. not not any of it, and, don't get me wrong, i think we all care. it's just that we haven't been looking for tools to address what is basically an unfunded mandate. and even and as a, as a fundamental societal responsibility, whether it was an unfunded mandate or not. and you know, i salute the state for the modicum of financial

mr. clarke is correct. today if you unless you like the weekend and i know some of you did, but if you're looking for warmer temps, 40s and 50s, 46 clayton, 40s, upper 40s, mid 40s. orinda. lafayette. kensington's in there. pinole, el sobrante, castro valley, north dublin, a lot of 50s, mainly low 50s, although mid 50s pittsburgh and brentwood. truckee 30. south lake tahoe 3373. down in viva las vegas flagstaff's at 37 degrees arcade and eureka 3961 san diego. one low kicks out and you can see the flow coming around the high. it's right there and that's giving us a little bit of a northerly breeze, at least in the higher elevations. at the surface, they're still kind of a west southwest, but the wind speeds have come way down. it'll be warmer. we'll get some 80s inland in the next couple of days, probably all the way into wednesday. then it looks like the water temps continue to be pretty cold, so i don't think fog is too far away. that'll be with us later. no rain yet unless you're up in the mountains. may

mr. jeffries: in terms of the second part of the question, you have to ask katherine clark. i intend to support the resolution that will be before the floor and my view of the situation is this, there is a troubling and disturbing rise in anti-semitism in the united states of america. that existed prior to october 7 and has been exacerbated since october 7. we should be doing everything possible in a serious and sensible way to combat, to crush anti-semitism, to bury it in the ground, and make sure it can never rise again. combating anti-semitism is not a democratic issue or republican issue, it should be an american issue. and we should be working together to confront anti-semitism and all other forms of racism and hatred and xenophobia in america and throughout the world. reporter: do you plan to visit columbia university or any of the universities that are in unrest right now? mr. jeffries: i have no current plans to do that right now. reporter: thank you, mr. leader. the biden administration yesterday reclassified cannabis, and booker and widen reintroduced it for the ra
