most of the tropical moisture from odile stays down in southern arizona and southern california. the middle of the week. san francisco upper 60s. and the 49ers will be on the road, the game up in glen dale, arizona, where they'll see 97 degrees outside. of course they have a dorm. >> rob, speaking of the 49ers, we are still waiting to find out when ray mcdonald will appear in court on felony domestic violence charges. santa clara district attorney has postponed his arraignment for today because they say they want more time to review the case. he was arrested two weeks ago but has been allowed to play. they say they will not deactivate him unless he is convicted. >> and two tackles in a game that most niner fans would like to forget. not only did the team end up losing to the dreaded chicago bears, but thousands of frustrated fans here then spent hours trying to get out of the parking lot. >> some broke the rules to try to find a way out of the parking lot. it was a school night and a work night. why were the traffic troubles so bad, derek? >> reporter: it was one of the parking lo

but then as the moisture spills off into southern arizona, that is where we have the potential for some flooding rain. some rain being expected up in the mountains and deserts of southern california. there's another system here to the south, that as we get towards the weekend may impacted but notice the clouds here off to our west. this will bring showers north of north day. you'll see high clouds out of that system later on. near 70 in san francisco. it mid 80s for high and close to the low 80s for the north bay. notice those temperatures cooling. temperatures rea crash was here. let's look at the map. moving now as traffic dissipates, heading north in toward the sunnyvale area, we have the jam approaching oakland road. that's where bob redell just reported the fire. the overpass is open. it was closed for a few minutes this morning. the rest of the south bay moving very nicely. pleasanton now has the typical build and flow for a tuesday morning commute. to the bay bridge, no big surprises. it's tuesday so the maze also looks slow heading toward the bay bridge toll plaza. the meet. >>

that moisture now redirects into southern arizona where during the day today we'll likely pick up 3 to maybe 6 inches of rain coming down, especially for areas near tucson and we could see showers into parts of southern california. but we now have a new tropical storm here to the west, polo, approaching cabo san lucas, so the same area could get hit again. >> thank you very much, rob. the airport in cabo san lucas remains closed. we talked to a man whose sister is stranded there with friends. >> there's no running water. they're staying in the ballrooms and also the conference rooms. >> we're told if she and her friends cannot get out of there, her husband is ready to drive an estimated 20 hours to mexico to drive and pick them up. >> doesn't be surprised to see a pickett line at the golden gate bridge today. workers unthreatening to go on strike today. the sticking point here, rising health care premiums for employees. that strike starts at 6:00 a.m. and will last until 3:30 this afternoon. they have said today's strike will not impact traffic on the bridge or ferry service, but it wi

we'll see what's left of the tropical storm move into southern arizona as a tropical depression, where we'll see the potential for some flooding rains around the southern end of the state, mainly down towards tucson, the university of arizona, areas south of phoenix, perhaps picking up more than a half foot of rain and three to four hours' time. we're also watching a new tropical storm polo to the south. you can see off the southern coast of mexico, winds at 40 miles per hour, but watch the track here as we head through the weekend, turning to a category 1 hurricane and perhaps drifting a little further to the west of cabo san lucas sunday as a strong tropical storm, given that it's tuesday and we're looking well far out into the future, we could still very likely see a category 1 hurricane approaching cabo san lucas by the weekend. so there you see all the moisture from odile staying south of southern california, but notice what's happening here just over my shoulder, pretty good looking system offshore here that will bring an increasing chance of much needed rain for parts of the bay

in the desert southwest, we are still talking about heavy rainfall in sections of southern arizona rightp into southern new mexico and heavy downpours across west texas, all associated with what's left of odile. many locations here will be dealing with flooding downpours through at least saturday evening. take a look at how much rainfall is expected. this is on top of what has already fallen, so flash flooding will continue to be a major concern, especially across southern arizona right up into central sections of new mexico. heavy showers and thunderstorms also continuing in sections of texas, also showers and thunderstorms in the forecast today along the gulf coast right up into the florida area. high pressure in control across much of the upper midwest and the northeast. l.a. finally cooling down, temperatures no longer in the 90s today. more so on the seasonable side, in the 80s this afternoon. taking a quick peek at friday, a little bit quiet across the north, but look at that, thomas, it's still active in the south. >> yeah, really is active. and for new england and for all of us h

but the main focus of that storm does appear to be aiming in on southern arizona. we could see the potential of flooding there east of palm springs into places like tucson and phoenix. probably not much of an impact for the bay area. but we're watching some high cloud cover. courtesy of the system here, just off to our west, this will bring us a chance of seeing some rain, possibly for areas in the north day. >> perhaps your thursday morning commute to wake up to a few showers. santa rosa and out toward pleasanton we'll see highs today in the 80s and actually probably cooling down a few grefs with the chances of hours. now for another check of your tuesday commute. here's mike. >> this is the oakland road overpass around the -- you can take oakland road away. let's show you on the map. the cross roadway, take heading back up and get you back over to that portion of san jose. otherwise you have to get off at the roadway much farther south. it's about a half mile. so there's a note for you. the rest of the bay and south bay looking smooth. we're looking at the rest o

and what we'll get out of this is a system here that will just become a remnant low across the southern arizona but brings again perhaps up to a half foot of rainfall and the university of arizona there. that is something we'll be watching closely over the next 24 hours. notice what's happening off our own coast. we have rain here on the north coast, clouds that'll come in during the afternoon. wind that'll also pick up during the day today out of the south. partly cloudy skies for the most part to start, and then during the afternoon, we'll see a few high clouds coming in and a chance of seeing showers at their greatest potential for tomorrow morning, we could pick up about a tenth inch of rain for parts of the north bay, littleless further south into the south bay. high's today close to 80 with north carolinaing clouds, wind out of the south for san jose. occupy closer to san francisco and low 80s for the afternoon around the tri-valley, mike. >> hey rob, i told folks about a fire that was approaching one of the bridges, this is off of i-80. first the bay bridge and show you that things are c
