580 and even westbound 24.could be a back up that stays with us through the morning. as well is interstate 580 in the westbound direction. the left lane has been shut down since 3:00 a.m. when a big rig hit the center divider divider they cleared the big gray but the fuel spill back things up. jackie sizzle is on the scene they made him move his vehicle and camera because they were about to reopen lanes. even though they said they may not reopen till 6:30 a.m. it looks as though they are about to reopen but the at damage is done for the 580 commute. backed up to the 2 05 interchange. those are the only to hot spots because as you can see 680 ride southbound, dublin, pleasanton no problems. westbound highway 4 is only slow right through the heart of antioch. between 580 and the bay bridge big problems. the ride through san jose check from the south bay backup on guadalupe parkway but 101 itself is doing fine. checking with weather. >> a lot of folks using when shall wipers. this shot says it all. you can see the

westbound 24 commute coming over from the freeway. it has not backed up on to 580 westbound thankfully. it is likely we could see that heavy traffic moving in from there. that is not our only hot spot. interstate's 80 interstata solid back up through the altamont pass and out to the floor of the livermore valley as you can see the westbound ride slow all the way to airway boulevard. there was a diesel fuel spill that kept the left andand lanes blocked until a few moments ago. jackie's this all has been watching that back up. we might have a look at slow traffic there. this is a look now towards the altamont past on 580. this is the traffic moving through livermore. the lane is back and the speed are picking up. how are things in san francisco? we had wet pavement. like traffic on the inbounds central freeway the james lick freeway southbound. one of find out more about the drizzle here is louisa >>> 48 minutes arrival delays for sfo because of those low ceiling. fog is a problem for travel and resolve this morning. we are seeing the s
