tiny, tiny tease of what's to expect when you see all the gorgeous dresses. we're kind of obsessing over that this morning because it really, really was stunning. >> no catty comments from me at all. none this morning. i want to pour some mill consider grow on the dresses. i'm reed cowan. good morning, everybody. grateful you are here with us. taking a live look outside on this tuesday morning. it's 6:00. this is the view from sutro checking out that golden gate bridge and what's going to be a golden glow of a day. we hope your day is great. let's breeze on into jessica burch who's going tell us about the forecast and jess up in marin it's been downright windy. absolutely and we're going to continue to watch the winds really become kind of a big part of the weather story for us this week. on top of the fact that we're also warming up a lot this week too. testimony in our inland areas are eventually going to hit the upper 80s close to the 90s. just as we head into this workweek's forecast. so with that in mind let's head into our weather headlines. we're back to normal today. we have

not hit that warm peak just yet. but it is right around the corner and we're steadily warming all week long. to add to that the winds are a big concern for us. we're starting to see winds move offshore so that dry condensed air moving from high to low elevations will continue to develop as we head into the next couple of days but we'll talk more about that in just a minute. as we take a look at this week's forecast, there's a moderate heat risk in the inland areas. this near normal that we have today. daytime highs this afternoon are sitting in the 60s near san francisco and oakland. once we head off into the east bay and up into the north bay too, wine country sitting in the 70s. we're also seeing 70s off near antioch stretching down into the santa clara valley. where right now we're seeing a mix of sun and clouds in the forecast for us. that will be the trend for us as we wake up this morning and last into this afternoon. the clouds are going to continue to stick around for us today. but we're going to get rid of them once we head into our wednesday and thursday forecast. here's what's happening also. it is breezy for many of us throughout the bay area. it's only going to get stronger in certain pockets of the bay.

advancing the clock into lunchtime. about 25 to 30-mile-per-hour winds are expected along the coastline and we'll continue to watch the winds sweep in from the north this afternoon. all throughout the inland areas and especially up into marin too where reed just mentioned that. but there's another big concern for us. and has to do with relative humidity. day we day we're going to start drying up more and more. so we're keeping a close eye on this especially as we head into this moderate heat risk later to week. or that slight risk this week and more about what you can expect and prepare for coming up right around the corner. g? let's get you moving on the freeways this morning. a you head to the bay bridge toll plaza a little tough in some spots. so it's a slow commute heading into san francisco already this morning. so as you are watch right now and if you are enjoying the cup of of fee you might want to get going if that's your route into the city. it's definitely backing up on the eastshore freeway as well. now if you are taking 880, that looks pretty good. in fact, looking at the overview most of the i weres are kind of in that area out of the altamont pass as well as as you

head from the dublin interchange working over into the sunol grade. making that connector from 205 pretty windy there as well. there was a wind advisory that was issued overnight. so just a heads-up. little gusty be extra careful as you work your way through there. and slow and go into the sunol grade. reed? all right, to the middle east now. israeli strikes to root out hamas in rafah have begun this morning. israel's war cabinet voted unanimously to continue the campaign in rafah after dropping leaflets to citizens to evacuate. video this morning showing explosions in rafah. they have captured the gaza side of the border crossing. following targeted air strikes against hamas now the tanks roll in on the ground. egyptian officials say operations appear limited in scope although there are casualties reported on both sides. this comes after what was kind of a confusing set of headlines yesterday. likely you heard them. hamas released a statement announcing they agreed to ceasefire brokered by

egyptians. well, that was really news to israeli officials who said what hamas agreed to and what israel demands are way too far away from each other. there was reaction on both sides of the war lines in palestine, lot of cheers hearing of that agreement. israel, families of hostages rallied and their leaders to accept the ceasefire terms to release the hostages. the proposed deal would include swapping israeli hostages and there are more than 100 this morning, for palestinians in israeli jails. it would also allow displaced go sans to return home with no restrictions. in the end no deal and the fighting continuing this morning. so coming home@bay area a war of words here overthe war in gaza word of a negotiation between protesters that we've seen by hundreds in the bay area. and san francisco state university officials. our kelsi thorud now reports on school administration seeing hope in meeting with protesters face-to-face. >> san francisco state

university president lynn mahoney. >> reporter: sitting face-to-face, just feet apart, surrounded by students, faculty and media. pro palestinian student protesters who set up the encampment in the middle of san francisco state's campus laid out their demands to sfsu president lynn mahoney. >> we are students, we are faculty, and we are staff demanding for the csu and sf state university to divest from all companies and partnerships which actively participate in the colonization and ethnic cleansing of the palestinian people. >> reporter: the students here at sf state, like so many other student protesters across the country, are demanding the university not only divest from companies that do business with israel, they also want the university to disclose all of its investments. and also defend the rights of pro palestinian speech on campus and declare their support for the palestinian people in gaza. >> just as mahoney and sfu praise the 1968 global strike

-- we demand sfu president lynn mahoney publicly oppose the bill and defend our right to protest, speech and assembly. >> reporter: president mahoney promised to work with student protesters. >> let's hammer out exactly what it would look like. >> reporter: saying she was willing to meet with representatives as soon as possible and work with them to meet some of these demands. >> we can have two conversations. one is about what full transparency would look like and how we can make it clear to anybody who wants to see how san francisco state invests its funds and how it spends it. but the second is to take another look at that investment policy. >> reporter: in the end, president mahoney and the student protesters left the conversation to be continued. both sides seemed happy with that result. >> appreciative of my students willing to have a conversation. >> what's the next steps with this? >> i'm going to continue the conversation with them. >> i feel very confident that she has appeared to be very open to our conversations and moving forward, with the majority of our demands. and we're looking forward to

continuing to have these conversations and looks like we're going to be making very steadfast progress into their implementation. >> so while we are getting word of graduations canceled across the country we are watching closely to see how any bay area colleges and university graduations could be affected. stay with us on air and online at kpix.com for the very latest developments. well, it's time now for a look at this morning's other top stories. david depape the man convicted of attacking paul pelosi, husband of former house speaker nancy pelosi will be back in court today. this is for depape's state trial following the 2022 attack. now keep in mind a judge already convicted him last year in his federal trial. though he's still awaiting sentencing. jury selection for depape's state trial is scheduled to begin on may 22nd. a three hour long search ends with a murder suspect in custody. antioch police lifted a shelter-in-place order shortly after arresting 28-year-oldcarlos palacios. that's according to police. he was wanted in a homicide case

out of stockton. they have not released any details about the victim in that case. the federal women's prison in dublin is now clear of all inmates and weeks after the feds announced they are closing the facility. the closure comes on the heels of at least eight employees including a former warden charged with sexually abusing inmates. officials say all inmates have either been transferred to other prisons, released or transferred to community placement. and there's been some progress in addressing the issue of homelessness in san francisco. the number of tent everyone carpets in the city has hit a five year low. that's according to the mayor's office. they've seen a 41% drop in tents and structures since last july. so let's break it down. the city counted 360 tents? structures across san francisco at the end of april. last year, that number was at 609 and also reported nine encampments of at least five tents or structures. the mayor says efforts to get people into shelter and cleaning up homeless

encampments are factors behind the drop. could responding to police situations with a heart for mental health save lives? we've got a community success story in the bay area to tell you about when we come back. the oakland ballers' home opener is less than 28 days away. up next we have ♪ (ominous music) ♪ ♪ (ominous music) ♪ girl: sydney, what's up? sydney: nothing. girl: are you ok? ♪ (ominous music) ♪ girl: talk to me. just shut up! nicotine's a neurotoxin that can escalate teen irritability.

in west oakland. the upgrades shah you are seeing there are happening right now. thanks to funding from private investors. >> being able to do something for the community by the community, is critical. for me as a person and i think for us as an organization. jus looking at all the people that have committed a beautiful saturday is pretty incredible. >> reporter: of course we've been there for each of major developments including that the independent league baseball team that we're talking about the ballers signed three members of their team from an open tryout that happened last month. including the first woman who ever signed with a professional contract mlb partner team. the team then was the staten island ferry hawks in 2022. the player is kelsie whitmore and she's attending the ballers' spring training that's happening this month along with two other players who came out of that same open tryout. >> felt like baseball needs to stay in oakland and it really should be up to people from

oakland whether baseball stays or continues and baseball has been an important fabric of this community. we started the ballers to say no matter what there's going to be a team here. >> reporter: of course there's the look of the team with the jerseys and the uniform kind ofgiving a nod to some familiar colors we recognize out of thest buy. dedication to a community focused experience in oakland. they say that they have this vow they will never leave the town because they are built by oakland and they are for oakland. so with all of that, we should also mention that tickets are now available. and there's a special reduced fee that's all part of that and remember you can see that first game on 44 cable 12 june 9th a month away from now. >> lot of fun. they're keeping baseball alive in an area with some deep rooted hardcore baseball fans. who are heartbroken that the a's are leaving. >> yeah. >> that's what you do. you meet heartbreak and you just start planning and creating again and kudos to oakland. good job. >> reporter: to be there at the beginning i think that's going to be a really exciting experience. >> we're glad to be a partner

and a community partner and your community station and we're on board for all of it. we have the games for you and join in all the fun. we all need this rising from the ashes story. right? let's go live outside this morning. and see what's going on from our cameras and you can see the sun rising. that's for you ballers. let talk to jessica burch right now about the weather. it's nice to go out and maybe see a ball game. >> oh, absolutely it is. but just make sure you have the sunscreen ready to go because it's going to be a lot sunnier as we head into this week's forecast. right now speaking of sun not that much of it down into the santa clara valley. the santa clara valley has some clouds kind of floating over us as we wake up and head out the door but watch what happens as we head north to the bay bridge right behind me. another live look right now from our rooftop cam. the sun is overlooking oakland and san francisco with a lot more warmth in the forecast for us this afternoon. widespread throughout the bay area. as we head into our daytime highs. we'll get to the daytime highs in just a minute. but let's talk about the reason why our weather story is the way it is. if you are just waking up right now we have a big warm-up in the

forecast for us as we e head into this week as high pressure continues to move inland and that's going to take over warming us up and drying us up a lot. but we're sandwiched in-between two different weather systems. and that's going to bring in offshore winds as we head into this week and that's important to note too because that means it's a lot more dry air that we're all going to experience heading into this week's forecast. to match that, we're also going to be dealing with a big warm-up all throughout the inland areas close to the 90s as early as thursday heading into friday. lasting into our sad forecast too. so let's drop that and let's talk about what we have today before we get to that point. 60s in the forecast for us this afternoon near san francisco. that is such a beautiful live look behind me that sun just coming over the hills over oakland. oakland today sitting at 69 degrees and 71 up in petaluma. and we're also seeing 70s over there into the east bay too. i mean antioch 76 degrees today a very similar trend into san jose. where the clouds are still holding on tight to us this morning. but we'll see a mix of sun and clouds down there as we head into the afternoon hours. here's what the inland forecast is looking like. day-by-day notice how we

go from 70s to the 80s to the upper 80s thursday into friday's forecast with plenty of sunshine still in store for us. now if you live closer to the bay let's take oakland, san francisco for example. just across the bay bridge. we also will warm up into the 80s but we're only holding on tight to it for pretty much one day. thursday being the warmest day of the week. we start to average out as we head into friday and then partly cloudy skies roll their way back in as we head into the weekend forecast. then back down to the 60s early next week. g? thank you. let's talk about the roadways right now. and get you moving out there. headed towards the san mateo bridge, things are starting to get a little crowded now for that ride westbound over towards 101. but you can see it's moving in some spots at least as you go from 880 side at least through the mid span area it gets much busier on the opposite end as you approach foster city heading over towards that 101 connector. 101 though looks great. no delays there. most of the brake lights in fact are concentrated to the east bay commutes where we're tracking slow and go conditions as you head along highway 4

westbound pittsburg into bay point and making the connector on to 242 into concord and of course in the altamont pass, very slow this morning. pretty windy too. so just be extra careful as you work westbound coming out of that tracy area getting on to 5830. and if you are connecting over towards the dublin interchange, you are going to see some brake lights there as well. so -- give yourselfic traffic time in and around there. and of course at the bay bridge, this is kind of the best way to sort of figure out where you are sitting at for the morning commute you know most of the freeways heading towards here are starting to see brake lights or issues because of those metering lights. so just a heads-up. well, it's day two of the rsa conference at moscone center. it brings together thousands of professionals to cover different cyber security topics at the expo. today the speakers include experimental physicist brian cox and homeland security mayorkas and u.s. science envoy and humane intelligence ceo rueman chowdhury. it runs until thursday. but check this out.

some of our crew last night looked up to the sky and saw this here in san francisco. mesmerized by this giant light it was actually coming from coit tower. and we found out it's for the rsa conference. tonight all shuts down at 11:00 p.m. you have some time to look up to the stars and maybe you can catch a glimpse of this right around coit tower. you will see this very colorful spectacle. right now 6:20 in the morning. a former gang member finding new purpose in san

welcome back. one of california's toughest state prisons undergoing a transformation of sorts. you are looking at san quentin and there's a new chance for people to start over again. kenny choi now with the story of how photography classes helped a former gang member find his passion behind bars. >> reporter: eddie herena spent nearly 15 years in prison convicted of various crimes, including second degree murder. >> i just have to look at my life and like -- reflect on the things that i did, you know, in the past. and like -- i did a lot of ugly stuff. >> reporter: the san jose native became entrenched in gang life as a teenager. but while serving a lifetime sentence at san quentin prison, he found the beauty of photography through its art program. >> once the camera was put in my hand, i just realized i

really like this, man. i don't want to do nothing else. >> reporter: the now 41-year-old poured his energy behind bars into his newfound passion. some of his work was published in magazines, including "rolling stone." >> i'm in prison doing a life sentence and like my pictures are in a popular magazine. >> reporter: his work, along with those of nine other formerly incarcerated men at san quentin, is being featured at the belvedere tiburon library art gallery this spring. curator and co-chair lucy churton spearheaded the effort to showcase and sell their art. >> so exciting to tell them that their artwork was sold on our first day. >> reporter: the funds will help them pursue their passion, pay some bills, and continue their transition into a post-prison world. >> this show is really cool because it showcases how the formerly incarcerated were able to really transform their lives through art. >> reporter: as herena dove deeper into his passion for photography working for the san quentin news, he severed all ties to gang life, not knowing if that move could cost him his own life too.

>> i just knew i had to make the stand. and i made the stand and i was going to deal with the consequences. that was the stressful part like -- i didn't know -- like what was going to happen. >> reporter: he has found much more to live for in the six years since being granted parole. adeline, his only daughter, is 4 years old. >> i love her to death, man. she's my little buddy. you know, this world is crazy. this world is, you know, it can be cruel sometimes; a lot of times, actually. so, you know, i just wanted to teach her just to be kind and respectful. >> reporter: herena earned various degrees in prison. he's now studying photography and working for a nonprofit in the east bay that helps homeless women. >> i feel like something is watching over me, man. thank god, man. >> reporter: he's engaged to be married this fall. >> i don't deserve any of this. like -- like it's -- i just feel like doors continue to open for me. >> reporter: that's a reason to smile. life transformed and recaptured through the beauty

of art and the will to change. >> will to change. beautiful. all right, 66:26 in the morning. coming up, help through housing. how getting a roof over your head really clears your head and gives hope. we highlight bay area success story in helping the unhoused. let's open up the curtain and take a live look outside. look at that gorgeous view of the golden gate bridge. off in the distance. looks like it's going to be a beautiful day and we'll check in with the expert jessica burch coming up in just a mi

yes, it is. it is tuesday, and right now on cbs news bay area at 6:29, we are taking a live look if you can see sutro tower off there in the distance. yes. you can no clouds to cover it. a nice sunny day today. maybe little windy though. i know reed you have been talking about how windy it is in your neighborhood. windy in the altamont pass right now. >> that's kind of the big trend for us this week. winds and dry weather. that's our big weather headlines as we head into this afternoon. and throughout the next couple of days buzz what's happening is high pressure is moving its way in but we're kind of gridlocked in-between high and low. and so we're going to see offshore winds meaning winds moving in from higher elevated areas down to sea level and that is going to be a lot more dry and condensed air. continue to see gusty conditions at times but to add to that we're

back at normal today with a huge warming trend right around the corner. this has steadily warming trend which is true day-by-day it is like a ladder. but it is going to be a very hot one for us by the time we hit thursday and friday with moderate heat risk in our inland areas starting those days as well. so we're going to be keeping a close eye on that in the next couple of days. i want to talk about the winds though. wind speeds today anywhere up to around 20, 30 miles per hour just along the coastline close to lunchtime. moving in from the north. we'll continue to watch that trend really develop as we head into the evening hours tonight, this is now around 6:00. gusty conditions still lasting at that point too. but let's head over to the map real fast and i want to talk about the daytime highs before the warming trend. all the way down into the santa clara valley we go, and off into the east bay we're holding on tight to the 70s today. with 60s close to our redwood city areas. and 50s all the way down into our coastline too. partly cloudy skies. matching up with san jose today. topping off at 72 degrees. let's take san

francisco for example though. 66 as we head into this afternoon and here's what's going to happen as we head into the next couple of days and high pressure builds in and we continue to warm up and we continue to see the winds moving in from on shore. now as we take a look at the daytime highs areas like san francisco condition will actually hit 80 degrees by thursday. keep in mind hydrating ahead of time and of course sunscreen is the way to go. if you live in the inland areas we're getting closer to the 90s, more on that coming up in a bit. g? thank you. taking a look at the roadways right now. because it's getting a little busier out there as more and more cars hit the roadways live look here at the san mateo bridge. you can see busy. it's getting crowded westbound for anyone heading over towards 101 this morning. so you are going to need a few extra minutes there getting to the spot too from 880 heading southbound. that's getting crowded out of hayward. we are also tracking brake lights from the bay bridge into san francisco. and metering lights were turned on just about an hour ago. and if you are taking that ride westbound 80 heading out of el sobrante into richmond to berkeley things are starting to low down just a little bit and you have

got the brake lights as well witness stand for commuters heading across the richmond-san rafael bridge. well, all right, g. the criminal trial against donald trump now focuses on what's against paper. we're talking this morning right now about the hush money case and today jurors will have a chance to see a first look at the documents the prosecutors really argue proves their case. that the former president falsified records related to payments to adult film star stormy daniels. also trump's in double trouble on this one. the judge again held trump in contempt of court for violating a gag order. this time threatening the former president with jail time. so if you woke up wanting us to show you video of boeing's launch of a manned rocket to the international space station; we got some bad news. they scrubbed that launch just two hours before liftoff. >> so the engineering team has evaluated the vehicle is not -- in a configuration where we can proceed with flight today. >> as two nasa test pilots strapped in for the flight a valve problem stopped the

launch cold. so if it's quick fix, boeing give it another go later today. so stay tuned we'll be watching. back in the bay business owners in san francisco along valencia street say a center bike lane really hurts business. the lane was experimental and now transportation bosses say they're listening to business owners and they are considering a change. well, a look now at a pandemic-era program that meant helping our homeless population. and word this morning it worked. it's called project room key. it actually put the unhoused into abandoned hotels and motels and a roof over their head. now an independent review says it's a success. informed the study revealed the project provided emergency housing and services to more than 62,000 people who were homeless during covid. >> reporter: ing changed once you get housing. like it's crazy just how much your attitude changes and yourout look on life it gives you so much hope. >> hope is what we like to see in our community. the study highlighted the program's success in facilitating transition get this, around 22%

of project room key participants were able to find permanent housing. while another 11% found temporary housing solutions. it's been one year since antioch launched the first mental health crisis response team. and city leaders say it has contributed to a year without any in custody deaths. our john ramos has the details. >> reporter: it's been exactly one year since the city of antioch launched its crisis response team, and while it may be difficult to measure success on something like this, the numbers are looking good. and the most important data point may be the number zero. >> three, two, one. >> reporter: zero. that's how many people have died while in police custody since the community response team was created. and mayor lamar hernandez-thorpe says that's exactly the result he was hoping for. >> the first month of my time

as mayor of the city of antioch, i had an in-custody death that led to this. a month after that, we had another in-custody death. and so -- if we haven't had an in-custody death since we launched this, so that's a mark of success for me. >> reporter: to mark the one year anniversary, the mayor rode along with the crisis response team. their first stop was a strip mall the crew says generates multiple responses per day. program manager nick jenkins says most of the calls are about nuisances created by homeless people in the area. >> all we do is address the situation. hey guys, can you turn the music down and can you move along and it's either a yes or no. but we a approach everybody with the respect they deserve. >> reporter: but then a business owner named tony approached to complain about the lack of response from police and the meager size of the crisis team. >> you people cannot solve this problem. three people can't solve this. you need more bodies. you need help. i need help. you need help. he needs help. >> reporter: one of the purposes of the program is to relieve police of non-emergency responses and the mayor says that's another area of success.

already the team is taking 500 calls per month, freeing up officers to attend to more serious matters. >> initially, we didn't know if these 911 calls would come -- be coming in readily. but to our surprise, we're getting -- and they're starting to increase. so maybe to that degree, but we know there was a need. but with the -- our relationship with dispatch is extremely important. and again, 500 calls a month is -- is pretty good. and i expect that to increase. >> reporter: and now the police are the ones calling in the crisis unit. on this day, they asked for help on railroad avenue where they were trying to get a group of homeless campers to leave. >> we're trying to do everything we can to get them to vacate. >> reporter: so the team first approached the campers just to talk and later offered them water and snacks. the idea is to act as a go-between. calming situations down to prevent a more aggressive reaction from either the subjects or the police.

>> they rely on us, the pd, as much as we rely on them. it's a support issue. everywhere. >> reporter: it's been a good working relationship. >> yes, it's a great working relationship with the pd. >> reporter: the mayor believes the program is working. but the initial $1 million of funding, a grant from the federal government, is running out. >> funding is going to have to come from somewhere to keep it going. and if it means we have to restructure the budget, we'll do that. >> reporter: he says for now he intends to ask the city council to allocate the money to continue and expand the response team, in order to prevent a crisis from becoming a tragedy. >> well, 6:38 in the morning. work to stop theft in stores could be coming in the form of changes to those self-checkout lines. lets us know what you think about this. we're going to get you caught up and checked into the very latest. and the biggest night in fashion grew into the ultimate garden party. still ahead, we're going take you inside last night's met gala with all

all right, watching the wallet time for the money watch report. so big questions this morning. did boeing workers fail to complete safety inspections on their 787

on the way with some gusty conditions moving in from on shore. now that's going to change a lot as we head into the next couple of days, today we're actually near normal with the daytime highs and still sitting in the 70s for the daytime highs today near san jose. right now we're waking up to partly cloudy conditions over the santa clara valley but that will continue to break apart this afternoon. a mix of sun and clouds in the forecast for many of us along our coastline throughout this afternoon. it's sunny right now over the bay bridge right above me. the live cam from kpix here at san francisco. where daytime highs today are actually sitting in the mid 60s. we'll continue to warm up as we head into the rest of the week but better yet a quick look at what's happening for us the rest of the week too. we're drying up a lot. not a rain drop in sight. and of course -- oh no. here comes summer right around the corner. however, i will say that the good news is the fact that we had a very wet winter and spring at least at the start of spring too. so as we take a look at the rainfall versus average, we're still sitting well above average for the rainfall season this year in

areas like santa rosa stretching into san francisco and san jose. 98% of average near livermore. an amazing season last year and a repeat of that this year and it's not looking that bad so if we take a little 7 day break we're going to be okay. but the next seven days because goodness gracious, 70s in the forecast for us today are quickly turning into 80s by tomorrow and we continue to warm up in the upper 80s and even see 90s in the east bay areas heading into the thursday forecast and friday. that's when the high pressure system really ridges over us. luckily we start to cool down on the back end of it. saturday and sunday still warm as can be for any outdoor activities and then we cool down as we head into next week. with partly cloudy skies around the corner. but that's our inland forecast. all of the microclimates are going to experience this mini heat wave a bit different. yes, we are dealing with minor heat risk in our indians inbut if you live close to san francisco also thinking 80s as early as thursday. i'm sure the parks are going to be packed with people getting out there and

enjoying sunshine but make sure you are wearing plenty of sunscreen and hydrating as well. next week we'll start to average out back into the 60s as early as monday with partly cloudy skies right around the corner. g? thank you. let's talk about the roadways right now. because as we get a little bit closer to that 7:00 hour, it is the busiest hour on the roadways and if you are headed across the san mateo bridge. you can see just how crowded it is now from what i showed it to you maybe 10, 15 minutes ago. certain gritting busy for that ride over towards 101. 101 along the peninsula looks great. if you are headed 101 out of the south bay. here's a look at our maps and you can see northbound starting to bog down a little bit out of south san jose near hellyer and you have got some brake lights heading into mountain view as well. zooming out here you can see traffic is slow southbound 880 coming out of hayward working over into the san mateo bridge. and our busier spots right now. pretty typical are coming out of the east bay. so that includes the altamont pass, that includes that ride along westbound 80 as well as westbound 4. so something to think about as you head out the door and hop on the freeways of course over at the bay bridge

toll plaza, metering lights are on and that's the slow ride heading into san francisco. the backup almost to the foot of the maze. so it is building as the morning progresses. well, the bay area sports hall of fame inducted third newest class last night. this happened at the hyatt hotel in san francisco. five displays for five prolific sports figures. including former 49er receiver john taylor and olympic swimmer jenny thompson. >> so funny. i remember my rookie year in '86 when i came out here, you see the display in the airport and i'm looking and looking and i guess now when i come through the airport, i have to look for myself. right? >> what flashes before you? >> that i wish i lived here again.
