if you're on the bay bridge and the san mateo bridge. e been our real problem spots for much of the morning. let's start with a live picture of the bay bridge toll plaza. you can see what we're talking about. there were a couple earlier crashes on the span of the bridge as you're getting to san francisco. those have cleared up. but the backup remains. so give yourself some extra time. if that is your commute this morning, we do have some good news to tell you about earlier crash north and one on one at 2 80. all lanes here have now reopened it. traffic was being diverted at one point, all lanes closed. but now everything is back. open again. one. oh, one. sonoma tail bridge has been like this at a standstill for the last hour, i would say because of a crash, blocking the two right lanes. the bridge. oh truck's still on the way there, but what's there is actually one tow truck already there, but they're having a hard time. moving the two trucks involved in this crash off of the cemetery bridge. take the dumbarton instead. if that is your c

well let's start at the bay bridge. garcia westbound bay bridge. fic is a little bit slow getting onto the span. as you might imagine, you can see that traffic is going to be slow, although it's improving from the last half hour or so you can see that we have some slow traffic approaching richmond bridge as well. so this is seeming like the peak of the morning commute . you can see that traffic is doing okay. sabit commute getting a little slower. we've had a couple of minor things, but for the most part, it's a nice drive into that west valley at 7 50. let's go to roberta, who's handling today's weather. not much change today. its status cone. you know what? honestly i live inland and if it was to remain like this all summer long, i'd be a happy camper. right you got it right. actually got to turn off the a c again yesterday. no major temperature swings for this wednesday. very little coastal clearing, but lots of sunshine inland but well below average temperatures. we will be banking between 62 at the seashore and low eighties inland. there's a li
