. >> yeah, i saw sal this morning, you and i were talking about how tricky the driving was this morning. >> yeah, unfortunately, a lot of people get into crashes on the way to work. i would say that would ruin your day. this is northbound 101 at the 80 split. they still have that closed. as a matter of fact, the traffic is going to be taken off as you head up to 80, so you cannot use the central freeway off ramp. it's a tough spot for a crash because people come by really fast. i've seen them stop traffic temporarily to get out there, so please give yourself extra time. looks like my maps may have gone down. there we go, they're back. westbound 580, we have slow traffic as you drive on the altamonte pass. you can see traffic is going to be busy as you drove over the pass. a lot of standing water going through to the dublin interchange and all of the bay area freeways. we have a new crash reported just now, just happened a few moments ago, southbound 101 north of the san francisco airport. we'll let you know more about that coming up. let's bring steve in. reporter: thank you, sal. >> yo

sal. hopefully no big problems in the commute this morning.ter: nothing major, although we've had slow traffic, day, dave and pam. you will see the photographic here at the macarthur -- traffic here at the macarthur maze getting slow coming around the corner to the bay bridge toll plaza where there is a lot of waiting to do. the traffic here is looking typical. there have been no major problems on the bridge which is always good and the traffic is flowing normal. this is a look at interstate 880 in oakland. you can see it does look pretty good. a little farther south though, 880 slows at 238. you can see stop and go traffic for most of the way through heyward and parts of union city into fremont. we look at highway 4. its slow there as well, so is 680. let's bring steve in with today's forecast. reporter: sal, thank you sir. a very good monday morning. we do have a lot of cloud cover, but over all, mostly sunny today. sun rise over the big city and a little cool here for some. there are a few 30s but a lot of 40s, 50s. cloud cover kind of held

let's go to sal to look at the commute this morning. sal. >> yeah.mentioned earlier is that the road is wide open and sometimes we tend to have more serious crashes. now unfortunately we have one down near the silicon valley in the east bay. we will start there and look at southbound 880. it is a motorcycle crash blocking a couple of lanes and traffic is already slow as you head south out of union city. and head down to the accident scene. if you can get on the freeway after mallory, your trip to the silicon valley looks pretty good. no major problems going the other way. we're also looking at the san mateo bridge. good alternate if you're in the east bay to use one of the brings, either the san mateo or the dumbarton bridge to get over to 101 and go south. the bay bridge has cleared out. we are getting the bump the wednesday before thanksgiving. we don't have typical traffic anymore. we're looking at the traffic on 101. it looks good. steve and i have been talking about the fog. and the fog is there. so far no major delays for arriving flights. >> w

let's check in with sal and a look at the roadways out there on this tuesday morning. . >> hi, mike and gasia. i'm seeing that the traffic is not affected by any major problems. but we have a delay on 80 westbound from the macarthur maze. things are getting better. last hour, you may not remember, you may just be watching now. it was an hour. now we're down to 40 minute which is an improvement to drive from vallejo to the maze. things are beginning to clear out finally. and the weather is cooperating. nice clear weather. no major delays, visibility- wise. but things are still pretty slow. highway 4 is beginning to get better as you drive over the hill. highway 24 is still slow in lafayette. as you can see, the san mateo bridge traffic will be okay. i want to look at the maps because we have a lot of slow traffic on the dumbarton bridge as well. 101 is slow but you would think, i might use 280. 280 is not much better. look at 280. slow traffic all the way down to the crystal springs area. 8:17. let's bring steve in. >> thank you, sal. >> you're welcome. >> good morning,

. >>> let's check in with sal for a look at traffic this morning. how does it look? >> interpret why i good. right now traffic is doing pretty well if you are driving in gilroy. northbound 101 from gilroy to san jose. it has been a nice drive with no major problems getting through. as a matter of fact it's a nice drive up in to the main part of san jose. continues to look good into mown tan view if you are drive that far. this is 280 in san jose. it's a nice looking drive through downtown with no major issues and of course at the bay bridge toll plaza the busiest commute or one of them. traffic is light right now. let's bring steve in with the weather. >>> i remember when mountain view was a sleepy little town. back in the day. >> yeah? >> yeah. thank you sir. patchy fog out there. it's coming down the coast. it's still going to be nice inland. sunny and nice out. 60s, upper 60s and 70s for some inland areas. this may be the last day we see 70s for about a week or so. is rain still on the way? it could slope thursday night. more than likely friday, off and on into sa

sal. i can't say i was at the limit this morning, sal, but it was definitely a smooth roll into work. >> lighterual now, mike. if you're on 80 westbound, i think you're going to notice a big difference in the commute. 20-minute drive. it really hasn't gotten more than that. sometimes we look at this number here and we have a number of 60 or 70 minutes. like yesterday. today, it is much better. at the bay bridge toll plaza we're beginning to lighten up. it is a federal and state holiday in on beer of veterans day. traffic is showing signs of being lighter than usual. there are congested spots but things are definitely lighter. look at highway 4. normally we have a lot of slow traffic on most days here. from antioch to concord, it looks good. concord into san ramon, a nice looking drive. at 8:17, steve, in my traffic pictures, i noticed a little bit of rain. >> not a lot but a little bit. from marin county northward there have been dessert amounts. our system is moving through. a lot of cloud cover and fog inform the south. just not much precip. that seems to be the pattern that we're stuck in. fi

below average temps for this time of year. 5:01 and sal tells us? reporter: things are okay out there. >> okay. >> you know, there's a little bit of wet roads, a little bit of fog, but for the most part, we're off to a nice start as we look at the tracy commute. tracy, a little bit of slow traffic on 205 and 580. it's just a little better than it was. traffic is moving along pretty well between livermore and pleasanton. this is a look at interstate 880. if you're going to be hitting the road any time soon, it does look good. this is the bay bridge toll plaza. we're getting a little back up. let's go back to dave and pam. >>>at least 20 people hurt in a big fire in a senior living facility near philadelphia. the residents there wrapped in blankets were forced outside in near freezing temperatures as flames spread to several buildings. many of the senior citizens couldn't walk. they had to be wheeled out to safety in wheelchairs or on their beds. the cause of that fire is still under investigation. >>>we are learning more about this week's shooting ra

that is why sal is headed up to napa this morning. >> yeah.tate insurance commissioner says more than $3 billion in damage was caused. that is expected to go even higher. the insurance commissioner says 14,000 homes were damaged or destroyed in sonoma, napa, mendocino and lake counties. deadlines are coming up for families who lost their homes in the fires to apply for a government program where contractors will remove the fire debris for free. while some homeowners say they need more time, officials say that fire debris is a health hazard. >>> yesterday the solano county board of supervisors declared the emergency phase of the fires is over. they voted to end the emergency proclamation they originally approved. but the fire roads are in danger because of heavy rains this winter will likely wash them out. >>> state regulators have delayed making a decision on whether utility companies can push some of the settlement costs on to customers when the equipment triggers a wildfire. that would affect pg&e if it turns out the power lines and equipmen

way the president has responded to this issue of sexual harassment or sexual assault has varied differently depending on who the accusations are against. and chris sal za puts it this way. the we see the fruit of the seeds planted during the campaign a president of the united states either unwilling or unable to seize the mantle of moral leadership. >> do you believe that where we are today as a result of a -- sort of cultural wound that is were maybe opened during the campaign? >> absolutely. think that the audacity of the country to elect a president who was a known self-admitted sexual predatory and sexual harasser was probably a bridge too far for people. we've come to a place where people feel emboldened to speak out loud but before me too it was just people being aghast that we could elect a president that could say the things that he said. >> representative debbie tingle who was one of the people in congress who just shared her me too story. and yet she says she does not believe that this is a watershed moment because too many women she says will face consequences for sharing their stories and specifically naming their accuser. do you agree?
