back turnover sal.said that because of that fire, woodside road is the one that's the big road that's closed? >> that's right. woodside road, pam, is closed. palm and brian, closed in the area. we are also following the other commutes. bart trains are running, in case you are just turning on the tv and you're wondering about that. bart is running. but we did have a huge delay on the bay bridge. we had an earlier car fire. we had an earlier stalled vehicle. so now there is kind of a big backup here at the toll plaza. 30 minutes plus. so if you are thinking about picking up casual carpoolers, well, today that decision i think has been made pretty clear to you, right? this is a look at the peninsula traffic. it is actually looking pretty good in both directions. as we look at the south bay, it's beginning to fill in a little more on 85 north and southbound. 6:49. let's go to steve. >>> thank you, sal. everybody, we have some fog. it's out there. it's trying. i was looking by lake merced. outer richmond, it

want to check in with sal. sal, i asked you -- and i've asked people on twitter, how today's commute compares so far to the b.a.r.t. strike in july. >> i would say, tori, that today is just a little bit worse than july. we've been looking at highway 24. in july, that week we had more room. some people had time to take off. remember it was around the 4th of july. so today is the worse we've seen it so far. it doesn't mean you can't do it. it just means you need to bring extra patience and you may -- if you are one of the lucky people who have flexibility, may want to put it off later as we're beginning to see traffic move around a little bit. but this last hour has been slow. i'm beginning to see more movement on 80 westbound as you come in through the eastshore freeway to the bay bridge toll plaza. i want to show you the road sensors, still red on 24, on 580 and on 80 and getting up to this area. 13 is slow trying to get into the you caldecott. and 6 -- into the caldecott. and 680 is backed up into concord. and

back to the desk. >> all right, sal. >>> you heard sal. the b.a.r.t. strike is over but the commute has been rough for a lot of people in the bay area. now, b.a.r.t. trains are finally running again. but the rollout did not go smoothly. shortly before 4:the dublin- pleasonton station now to tell us how commuters are react. what are they telling -- reacting. what are they telling you? >> reporter: well, they are glad the trains are running. they are a little concerned about the delays. there's plenty of commuter traffic with people enterling the dublin-pleasonton station. is varies from station to station depending upon the delay. i just got a text from somebody who boarded the first train here that left at about 6:18. he said that it took him about an hour and ten minutes, where normally that trip to san francisco takes him about 42 tenot as bad as far as -- as far as he says getting into san francisco taking b.a.r.t. here's video of what it looked like on the platform. the first train was not affected at all. b.a.r.t. riders were informed that train s

let's go to steve. >>> thank you, sal k clear skies -- sal. >> clear skies. it's sunny. there's some fog trying to form offshore. it might play into our weather tomorrow. there's a little system coming down. it's not going to make much of an impact today. sunshine, nice to warm. we're losing most of that offshore breeze. it's just high pressure but there's still a slight little hint of an east or northeast breeze for some. upper 7s os -- 70s, low 80s. clear skies, cool to cold. sunny and nice and warm this afternoon. coast and bay temperatures coming down because of that system entering the northern part of the state. you can see there's a little bit of a fog. it's not pushing toward the city. there's a lot going on northeast in the great lakes. a lot of cloud cover, a lot of rain. there's been heavy rain. a lot of tropical clouds streaming across texas and all the way to the deep south. someone is getting weather. 37 novato. san francisco is 57. big difference half moon bay, pacifica. yesterday had an east wind. their temperature was held up. today they are in the 40s.

let's go to sal. sal, you ready for this? you watching the toll plaza? >> yeah we are watching the toll plaza. unfortunately its getting much worse. its backed up to interstate 880. we don't have any major problems but we do have a lot of traffic coming into the city. this is not what it normally looks like at 5:48 on a normal day. it is absolutely filled in. it looks like its 7:30 out there and a busy 7:30 at that. its backed up to 880. and backed up on 580 to 24. 24 begins to slow coming out of the tunnel and heading down to the 980-24 interchange. moving along and taking a look at highway 24 its moving okay. i want to show you the map system here. you can see highway 4 is definitely slow in antioch. as you just saw its not that bad in bay point. a minor crash. not causing a major problem here. i moved the maps down 238 at the 580 interchange. to castro valley already showing slow traffic. now lets go to steve. >>> we have a lot of fog or its clear. that is one forecast it looks like it will be with us all week long. there is just no offshore breeze. t

we want to check in with sal. sal, the toll plaza is -- what?> much different. >> okay. >> it's much different than yesterday because obviously -- for obvious reasons. b.a.r.t. is running full service. there is a backup. it's not been as bad as it was yesterday. when we were waiting for an hour or more at the toll plaza, that was yesterday. you will see traffic that will be -- you will be waiting for a bit. it's not that bad. the dense fog has played a role in the commute and on the -- this is 880 in oakland. we can't see it. we won't stay there too long. just to demonstrate how foggy and thick it is. livermore -- from tracy to livermore, that traffic looks good. i want to edges mention the -- mention the traffic on 680 has been very slow. we had an early accident in alamo from san ramon all the way up into walnut creek. it's a monster of a drive. you might want to think about getting to another part of the east bay, using another side route. let's go to steve. >>> thank you, sir. a very foggy morning. not for everybody. but for a lot of people.

sal, i need to see you.you've been showing us the toll plaza and highway 24. >> yeah everything is slow. you will be able to see by these pictures in case you are just waking up bart is not running and i will show you the picture just to prove it. look at highway 24 its barely moving. and when you get to the other side of the tunnel it is very slow coming down to 580 and to 24. so it will be a long commute. people have simply run out of options and now you know how many of these people, well, you can see a lot of these people would be taking the train. moving along and taking a look at the bay bridge, it looks the same here. but getting to the toll plaza is the big thing. i want show you the road sensor. we just saw highway 24 and how slow that was. 80 is the same. and people are using ashby avenue trying to get around it. but that is not a good idea. let's go to steve. >>> thank you. forecast is easy if you need to get out of the house fog by the coast. 50s and 60s inland. i want to thank mike who keeps fan

see the low clouds there and out of here soon so fog and sun, chilly and breezy, here in a second, sal, save me. >> steve, glad to, let's see what we have now with the roads trying to get somewhere on a friday and your plan includes the bay bridge, well your plan is a good one right now, no problems getting in to san francisco. no trouble on the lower deck from san francisco to oakland. on interstate 880 the traffic looks good in both directions here. as you drive down through hayward it continues to be a nice drive all the way to san jose. if you are driving into livermore valley westbound 580 traffic looking good from 205 to the 580 interchange then on 880 north and southbound the traffic here in hayward as we mentioned looks good, that includes 238 off the castro valley y. 5:02. back to the desk. >> thank you, starting with developing news on the bart labor dispute, no strike today. the trains are still running this morning. however, there could possibly be a strike monday morning. we have live team coverage for you. we have ktvu's tara moriarty out there talking to commuters gettin

let's head over to sal for a check of the roads this friday morning. hi sal? >> hello claudine and dave. i'm doing pretty well today. we don't have a lot of the fog we've had the other days. but we are watching very closely because things tend to change right at this time. just after 6:00 or so. we start seeing crowds almost everywhere. we are seeing slowing here and there on the way to the tunnel from the contra costa side. and then you get to oakland and it looks good but there is a backup at the toll plaza. especially in the mid lanes. nothing big. that is about a seven to ten minute delay getting on to the bridge. as we look at the south bay, we look at 101 right in the middle of the valley there. traffic looks good as we pull way back. i want to show you santa cruz mountains. also looking at bart, bart is running on time. let's go to steve. >>> thank you, sal. happy friday everybody. we have a little bit of a mixed bag here. yesterday was sold out with fog and low clouds. some fog has now popped up. santa rosa and napa. and its cold. 37 and 39 there. low

chilly morning, breezy at times more of a northwest or westerly breeze, 60s, 60s or low 70s, here is sal. >> steve good morning, right now the traffic is going to be getting busier around i also noticed more people on the roads, perhaps some people didn't know if bart was running and took the car, we can only guess about that but we do see more volume in some areas. the bay bridge is backed up but not all that thick, we also have friday light in some areas. >>> westbound that is heading out nicely there. south bay commute looks good as we push in to high with 101, which usually becomes slow first, it is looking good all the way into sunnyvale and the south bay commute in general looks good except for just a small stretch of slow traffic in the santa cruz mountains going southbound. now lease go back to the desk. >> thank you, sal, we begin with developing news this morning, bart workers will go on strike monday morning if a deal is not reached over the weekend. the two sides emerged last night from a long day of meeting, negotiations will resume this morning. the good news is the unions

let's go back to sal.eaking news story. >> this small plane came down on the capitol express way which is a few miles away, not even a mile away, a few blocks away from reed hill view airport. traffic is still getting by. they have one lane closed. no one was seriously injured. and our reporter is arriving on the scene. i do want to let you know the area is a big traffic mess as it's quite a lot to see. the small plane down here. so please, give yourself extra time. 580 eastbound is recovering after we had an earlier crash near 106th westbound still slow out of san leandro. toll plaza, westbound finally getting some relief. we've had a bad day on the toll plaza. now a 25 minute delay. >>> let's go to steve. >> thank you, sal. we have clear skies . visibility good for most. the wind will help stir things up. the breeze has been picking up. cold up in the mountains. if you have travel plans on the weekend i did see teens and 20s for lows. lake wind advisory for friday. wind advisories here into friday aftern

sal is back. sal, how's it going out there? >> i would say it's going okay. there's a little bit of slow traffic out there, dave and tori. for the most part it's expected for this time of the morning commute. as we look at highway 4. it's exactly what you might expect at this time. the traffic is shifted from antioch and pittsburg. the traffic is moving along relatively well. the traffic is also going to be okay if you are driving on the bobb approach. there are no major problems. traffic continues to move along well. i do want to show you the commute in the south bay. northbound 101 traffic all the way up to the peninsula does look good and there are no major problems. there. if you are driving across the san mateo bridge, there's slowing on the hayward approach. but after that, it looks good. however, 880 southbound from leleling from fremont will be slow. b.a.r.t., caltrain and muni are doing well. 7:19. let's go to steve. >>> all right, sal. thank you. a lot of high clouds over us. a beautiful sunrise for those of you listening. there you go. it will be w

we want to check in with sal. not quite halloween. you say 680 is pretty scary. >> oh, it's scary. take -- well, take a look for yourself. let's take a look at 680 here southbound at you drive out of -- as you drive out of walnut creek and head to san ramon. it's very slow. this is because of earlier problems. our live camera is capturing the essence of this commute. another commute would be the sunol grade. not quite at bad. this is mission -- as bad. this is mission boulevard. >> the commute on 580 has not really recovered. i want to move over to the marin county commute. that's been rather quiet. it's slow from novato to san ralph fe. but we haven't -- san rafael. but we haven't had a lot of traffic accidents or stalls there. let's go to steve. >>> a lot of fog. low clouds. >>> whatever you want to call it -- row clouds, whatever -- low clouds, whatever you want to call it. temperatures, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s. in l.a. and san francisco, a lot of 60s. if this low continues to go west, we might have to include rain but i think only driz

here's sal. >>> steve, good morning. right now we're looking at traffic all over the bay area that's slow. one of the slowest commutes is in the south bay. here at the bay bridge, we're getting a slowdown, weekend. it's about a 15, 20-minute delay which is better than normal. but still backed up, especially in the right lanes. if you are a fast track user, you are getting by better than most. the morning commute is getting more crowded. it's not stop and go. 580 traffic is also crowded beginning near the lakeshore curve. 87 northbound, downtown san jose at taylor. they are still clearing an injury crash. 280 is also a big mess and so is 85. one of the things that you can't do is use one as the alternate. if you are going a short distance, i would recommend side roads to avoid all of this. on the peninsula, southbound 101 near 92, there is word of a crash here. let's go back to the crash. >>> we have new information on the asiana crash at sfo last summer. three people were killed. dozens more were hurt. ktvu's pam cook is

want to check in with sal.g on highway 4 in the east bay. >> it's getting better. finally, you can almost say that highway 4 is good. but it's better anyway. the road sensors are not showing a lot of slow traffic. that's good news. you might not believe it but there's slow traffic waiting for you here as you drive through. there will be traffic that's going to be slow on highway 24 here. i'm gonna click for the speed. it's about 33 miles an hour. not too bad, i guess, heading westbound from walnut creek to oakland. let's get to live pictures. the bay bridge has completely improved. it is light coming into san francisco. south bay, still a little bit slow, although it's getting better. northbound on 280 but it's still slow into the valley. let's go to steve. >>> sunny to the north. partly cloudy to mostly cloudy. santa cruz coastline, low clouds. a lot of sunshine for those mainly east and also north. 36 up in tahoe. reports of snow at echo summit. i know at the keys, steve bridges there said on the roof. the sn

let's check in with sal. sal, we want 20 keep mentioning the wind out there. there is a lot of trash and tree limbs blowing around the road. it could certainly pose a danger. >> there is a tree down in oakland, pam. on highway 13. i just found out about it here according to chp. let me put it on a map here. let me sit up straight here. southbound 13 at lincoln which is the second to last exit before you get to 580. southbound 13 between lincoln and carson exit. there is a tree down blocking one of the lanes. they will need cal trans out there or someone with a chain saw to cut it up. southbound 13 at lincoln in the oakland hills. watch out for that if you take highway 13. and just watch out for tree debris anywhere. it's not hard to find. just a lot of branches and leaves that have been blown up because of the gusty winds. let's take a look at live pictures. this is interstate 880. you can tell the camera is shaking a little bit and the traffic is doing okay. also the morning commute looks okay at the bay bridge toll plaza. it's very light and clear there. at

here's sal. >>> steve, good morning.ht now, traffic is doing well in some areas. still slow in others. let's take a look at the toll plaza. we're seeing some improvement here, which is good news. no major problems as you drive into the city. we're seeing some improvement on the far left-hand side. the morning commute looks pretty good if you are driving on the san mateo bridge. it's getting slower. the traffic continues to move along a little bit slowly on the dumbarton bridge as well. south bay is where a lot of the slow traffic is. northbound 85 and 280 northbound are very slow getting into the valley. we have a lot of slow traffic in mountain view and also on the peninsula heading south. back to the desk. >>> 8:01. the investigation continues into a suspicious early-morning fire in palo alto. investigators are on scene right now trying to determine what caused the blaze. ktvu's janine de la vega was the first reporter on the scene and janine, what have you learned from investigators? >> reporter: well, firefighters ha

for more, we go to sal. >> all right.ne of the things i do want to mention is that traffic is going to be busy in that fire area as you might imagine. woodside road is likely to be closed for almost the entire day as they haven't even started to do the clean up yet. they are still fighting the fire and going to be closed for the morning and still for the afternoon commute. we would advise you to stay away from the area. going to be a little tight because of the closures. south bay still very slow and so is the east bay. the slowest traffic is on 880 both north and southbound. and we're still looking at contra costa county. bart and cal train and muni not reporting delays right now. >>> let's take a look at a quick picture of 880. we mentioned it was slow. earlier crash near downtown oakland. the traffic on 580 is also slow. and the bay bridge toll plaza is backed up for 15 minute delay at the toll. >>> let's go to steve. >> all right. thank you. very good morning. clear skies, hardly any breeze whatsoever. still a slight

sal is here. you are keeping an eye on highway 4. how are things? >> i think you're gonna like what we see here. we look at highway 4. we're looking at the commute on highway 4 in antioch. it's getting better. the commute was busier as people got on the road. i think a lot of people have big figured out that -- have figured out that b.a.r.t. is running. this is also a day when some people have today off. it's columbus day. some people -- some schools are celebrating that by not having the kids in or they might even call it indigenous people's day. they are not going to school. that makes it easier for you and for me driving to work or where we are going. this is a look now -- we saw the bay bridge. it's light. let's take a look at the commute here in livermore. westbound 580. now, that commute is still sloat into the main part of livermore and then you do have some slow traffic here and there on the nimitz. not everyone has the day off. 7:20. let's go to steve. >>> a very good morning. clear skies. cold. north napa, 39. made it over the half moon ba

fire crews are still out there watching for flare-ups and as sal has been telling you an off- ramp is closed this morning. >>> meantime the vegetation fire in larkspur burned several acres of a area at 4:00 in the afternoon yesterday near marina vista avenue. with the help of planes and also firefighters on the ground they controlled this within an hour. no structures were damaged, no one was hurt. the cause of the fire though is under investigation. >> pg&e crews have begun shutting down a natural gas line in san carlos, the judge's order comes after e-mails questioned the pipeline safety. it is line 147, it runs under britain avenue between 280 and highway 101. ktvu's tara moriarty joins us now with more on these. >> many people we spoke to there said they wanted proof, not promises that this line was safe. at first the agency said it would simply reduce the pressure but yesterday pg&e started shutting down the line. that is after a judge issued a temporary injunction. mayor bob grassili and the city declared a state of emergency friday after officials discovered internal pg&e e- ma

here's sal. >> thank you, steve.e surf by the way. >>> let's take a look at what we have right now with the slow traffic around the bay. this is highway 4 westbound. it's slow we've had a rash of minor accidents. people are not going fast enough to have major ones. we've a a -- we've had a couple of fender-benders. if you are drive highway 4 keep your patience with you. this is 280 northbound. you will see slow traffic here as you drive through. i also want to slow you the rest of the south bay as we put it on a map here. we just showed you the stretch on 280. highway 101 is slow. it's a -- it's the typical slow traffic that we see. 880 slows from 238 to mowry avenue, then it breaks free a little bit. if you are driving on northbound 880, the slowdown begins. of course, the as and tigers are playing. let's say you are not a baseball fan and you are going to the "pink" concert, cre had happening about -- they are happening at about the same time. today the best way to get there is using b.a.r.t. the gates open, by the

help two, she did help a man and also an infant with those organ donations according to her family, sal castaneda, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thanks, sal, back to breaking news in washington, d.c., we are learning more. these are live pictures, we want to go to justin gray again. >> reporter: tory we are learning more about the sequence, first i want to show you new video of capitol police car there at the scene there smashed up, doors ripped off, air bag deployed. we found out this started at the white house up pennsylvania avenue someone tried to ram into a barricade there, a police chase leading down here to the capitol where shots were exchanged, a police officer injured, at this point police tell us they have two different crime scenes and again a tweet just came out they have multiple injuries with officers not telling us how they came, whether the result of a crash or the shooting but again it started at the white house, worked its way here to the capitol, at this point the capitol no longer on lock-down but still questions to be answered as police try to figure out the sequence of

i will say sal discovered flight when it is all done. >> the answer is always sal. >> i have not discoveredg except this cup of coffee is cold now -- >> that -- >> -- that -- >> -- go -- >> -- good morning, i do want to mention we have good news out of that crash i told you about, all the lanes are open, a motorcycle and a big rig but the injuries not as severe as they first thought, able to get every one off the road but the bad news is we have a back up, i will draw from -- well you see my line here? backed up for miles now, but it is early enough and maybe i am being optimistic but it is early enough to use this commute and will improve before it gets slow so we will let you know. >>> the traffic is good there, we are watching bart, they moved the train but watching for delays, we will keep watching for you, right now no delays on that line into san francisco, the concord- pittsburgh line. the last thing is the toll plaza, a back up for a 5 minute wait, let's go to steve. >> thank you, sal. >> you are welcome. >> all right a-lot of low clouds in place, helped along and lifted by this low

sal castaneda watching the roads and seeing if its helping. sal. >> hello claudine. i'm glad you are here. >> thanks. i'm glad to be here. >> traffic on the bart system is doing well. they are starting off the morning. you can see highway 24 is looking good. it had been so bad the last few days i think people need to be reassured that things are doing well. its early but we will be watching for you. this is a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. and it just looks different today. yesterday at about this time we were already getting some slow traffic here. so at least we are getting a little bit of an improvement. and i do want to mention the road work that is still going on in the livermore valley. also on 680 through san ramon. watch for it. its not causing a big delay. there is no reason to think that they won't. 4:50 let's go to steve. >> thank you, sal. a very good morning. >>> we have clear skies for some. thick fog for others. dense fog advisory out. if you are in that fog it could be cold or freezing. especially parts of half-moon bay. oakland downtown was only

morning sun and that is picking up, 50s, 60s, coast and bay, inland out of the 80s now more 70s, here is sal. >> steve, good morning, looking at the roads and so far looks good, certainly nothing like earlier in the week when the trains were not running but do have traffic on the roads looking good. the fog as you mentioned is not as thick in some areas right now but you and i both know that could change and we will figure it out. this is 880 freeway north and southbound, for example the fog does not look as bad yesterday at this time we could barely see what was underneath this camera what was here but i can see up to high street and beyond in this picture. the morning commute is going to be actually okay if you are driving into south bay. one of the things we are worried about is that fire underneath the bart train in arinda, that still could affect bart service this morning. passengers start spotted smoke coming up from under the cars that pulled into the station yesterday, christien kafton joins us, i just got off the phone with bart central, they say -- >> reporter: yeah, sal, it is sou

let's check in with sal.ee how things are moving in san francisco. >> we had a crash southbound and that was slowing traffic down on southbound 101. still a little slow. we're having the halloween syndrome. why more early traffic on halloween. many parents get on the road early in order to laefsh work early. it happens every year. it's happening this year . several tweets asking what's going on? those are all from young people without kids. westbound bay bridge backed up out to the macarthur maze. south bay started off early as well. northbound backed up and 101 is slow in pockets. all the way to mountain view. 7:50 let's go to steve. >> sunrise over the big city. temperatures cold this morning except oakland/san francisco. a little puff of an easterly breeze. a lot of people email me and tweet me. where is that rain? the 10 and 15 day outlooks are very wet for the middle of november. as we get closer to it, the short range models are the ones that have more information tend to back off on it. the middle of n

now let's go back to the desk. >> sal, thank you. we are following breaking news, police activity happening right now in santa rosa. ktvu's claudine wong is there, you are near mill brooke drive, so what is happening. >>> we are there, this is what we were told us the command center, take a look behind me, not a lot of activity there but i can tell you it is taped off there and then down the street it is still very dark. you can see santa rosa police cars down there and they are just bringing in water for them and extra supplies. so it doesn't look like they are going to wrap up this anytime soon to the right on the -- on mill brook you can see a mobile command unit there, what is happening now is still unclear. there were reports of shots fired. we went up siegemore, which is where we were told it was and were turned around by police and a swat officer who told us we were in the line of fire and needed to move immediately. we did just that and came over here. this has been going on since before midnight and again at this point all w

let's check in with sal. i'm sure you are one of the thousands of people who are very happy about the b.a.r.t. strike this morning. >> yeah, tori. but all of us -- this gives me a good segway to tell you that we're going to be on the air at 4:00 on monday morning unless it becomes plainly obvious they've settled it. if they settle it on saturday, we'll be on regular time. but if they go late into sunday night, we'll be here until 4:00. if there's a strike, we'll do the same thing we did last time -- we'll have all of the options for you so you can see what's going on. let's take a look at 280 northbound. it's better than it was. it's still slow around the corner getting up to highway 17. we're look lightning at 880 -- looking at 880 in oakland. looks good in both directions. i want to mention that we just got word from a tweet, actually, that a bus was involved in a crash on the bay bridge. nikki l. mentioned it. she says an a.c. transit bus is involved in a crash on the bridge. they have pulled it over to th

unfort thatly sal is just telling us -- unfortunately sal is telling us about a crash. oakland fire and chp has completely shut down that freeway. they are letting some cars to get through but we are not advise -- but we are advising you not to use 580. the westbound lanes are getting through. they have called for more medical assistance here. eastbound 580 at fruitvale pretty major collision here when it comes to this crash. lots for a lot of slow traffic. one last thing i will tell you about. about-- let's take a look at the bay bridge. it's not all that bad. this morning's commute looks okay in san jose along northbound 280. now let's go to rosemary. >>> it's a breezy start to the day. because of it some areas crystal clear. did you see the shots sal had. the winds have died down just a bit. at least for the time being. we are 20 minutes away from the official sunrise. the winds will be easing up as we get in through the second half of the morning. should be breezy but not as windy. right now the winds in concord 1 15 miles an hour. 13 in oakland. notice the arrow co

sal, a lot going on this morning? >> yeah. know, just to reiterate what pam said, the best way to get to the game is the coliseum. you don't have to worry about parking. i think parking in the main lot will be gone. they open that lot up at noon. people will be tailgating. >> it's not cheap to park either. >> no. i think bart is a good option. let's take a look at what we have with interstate 880. you can tell it's a little windy there. even if you are not a baseball fan, be aware tonight it will be very crowded along this stretch of highway. also this morning we are looking at the san mateo bridge. it's going to be gusty winds there. only about the good thing we can say is it's pretty clear out there. we don't have any fog to get in your way visibility wise as you head out to the peninsula. and if you are driving on 580 westbound through the livermore valley getting a little bit more slow traffic coming into pleasanton and dublin on 580. now let's go to rose mar -- rosemary. >>> those winds helping to keep our temperatures up

here's sal. >>> all right. and right now steve, we do have a look at the bridges bay bridge westbound approaching the toll plaza. you see its light. there are no problems here if you are driving into san francisco it looks good. golden gate bridge traffic also is looking good. we will be watching this. visibility is doing well. this morning's commute is going to be okay on the 580 as you drive out of the livermore valley. in fact, its a little better than it normally is. it is not a bad commute at all. now let's go back to the desk. >>> time now 5:02. a tragic story. a couple on the peninsula out walking their dog last night. they were hit and killed by a car and they probably never saw it coming. police say the driver was drunk. ktvu janine de la vega is joining us live from menlo park. you have all the latest developments. janine. >> reporter: yes. i want to point out where this couple was walking here along chilco street. they were actually here across the street in the eastbound lanes. they were walking in

let's head out to sal castaneda who is watching the roads for us. hi sal. >> hello claudine and dave. i think we've had a pretty decent commute. especially if you compare it to yesterday which was the worst day of the commute week so far. right now it doesn't look all that bad. we will look at the commute in the east bay but the fog is going to be one of the things you have to watch out for. and the fog is pretty low here in oakland. and it might factor in your commute. which is somewhat unusual. its unusual for this time of the year. we will ask him that question. as you look at westbound bay bridge its not too foggy here. traffic is backed up for a 15- 20 minute delay. we've been looking at interstate 80 westbound. its getting slow out of hurricane lease -- hercules. so steve. >>> it is a little unusual for this late in the season. this time of year if we get rain we get radiation fog. high pressure is built right on top of it so it smashes it right down on the deck. forecast will be the same as it was the last two days. if you are by the coast, c

good afternoon, sal. >> reporter: tori, good afternoon. we've seen people show up now so some of the negotiators are on their way back. b.a.r.t. and its unions say there's a sign of hope that they can avert a strike, the threat of which has kept commuters guessing for the last few days. union and b.a.r.t. negotiators stayed up all night and finally called it quits at 5:30 this morning without an agreement. b.a.r.t. and the labor unions are still stuck on pay and benefits but have been discussing work rules and employee safety. yesterday, unions were threatening to strike today. the midnight deadline came and went. but apparently enough progress was made to keep the union from calling for a strike. the late notice frustrated many commuters who went to bed without knowing if trains would run in the morning. at 5:30 this morning, the federal government mediator had little to say. >> negotiations are continuing and we will be back at it early this afternoon. >> reporter: both side say they want to avoid a strike like the one that crippled the
