on even into the evening tonight. we'll continue to see some isolated development of thunderstorms well into tomorrow afternoon after what should be a dry morning commute tomorrow. chance of thunderstorms builds right back in during the afternoon. that's why first fridays unfortunately not ago tomorrow out in oakland, we are going to see dry conditions starting tomorrow night lasting through saturday into sunday. slight chance of overnight showers on sunday night into monday morning. while we're sleeping rainfall additional on top of what we've already seen. another half an inch, even 3 quarters of an inch for some areas through the weekend. so we got a lot more to come this year is currently under a winter weather advisory. we have strong winds up there, multiple feet of snowfall in the highest of elevations. snow falling to very low elevations, plaster bill, 1800 feet. it's looking at 2 inches of snowfall out of the system. that's well down in the foothills travel delays, very likely chain controls in effect. as for your roads and

the traffic tracker for moving on. we also just giving you a live look at 101 all together. 56 minute commute right now from san jose to menlo park. and you see those heavy pockets of orange, yellow and of course, green, which is great. but those reds is what you want to stay away from. taking a look at some drive times right now. 25 minutes from castro valley to oakland. 29 minute commute from san leandro to oakland. a 21 minute commute. san jose to cupertino, which is all great. and then if we move on over to the next slide, which is a live look at the bay bridge right now, 19 minute commute may from the maze to fremont. we do see those wet roads there. and you can see stop and go traffic with those metering lights that are currently on heading over a little bit deeper into the east bay. we've got any out to conquer to 60 minute commute. there were some traffic hazards in that area, but those are getting cleared up right now. taking a look at westbound 80 from the kraken area to the maze. a 30 minute commute. we've seen some delays in that area on westbound 80 earlier. there

was an accident that's now been cleaned up, but still seeing some residual delays taking another look at some drive times 16 to 15 minutes or so from pacheco to danville. 40 minute commute from san leandro milpitas. you may want to pack your patience for that one. san jose to cupertino. 24 minutes. and lastly, give you guys a live look at that san mateo bridge, which it does look like it is pouring down out there. it's 26 minute commute from one side of the bridge to the other. so pack your patience and also make sure you're driving safely slow and check those windshield wipers. let's send it back to you all at the desk. and i could they that. >> okay. 28 is the time. it's a bill that is resonating with a lot of california workers. assemblyman matt haney is proposal to give employees the right to disconnect. in other words, allowing them to ignore texts and calls from their bosses when it's after hours refers catherine heenan. talk to him today about it. >> assemblyman matt haney says there's been an outpouring of attention. most of it good. his bill is aimed at

guaranteeing california workers at least some uninterrupted personal and family time. and for many of them, you says that is not happening. >> if there's a villain in all of this, and if there had to be a bill and it would be the bosses would be the technology. >> matt haney is talking about the fact technology makes it easy for bosses have access to employees. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, he says sometimes amounting to a stranglehold on a worker's time. when ends up happening is because people can contact easily at any moment over text or email >> they there is always that is that a lot of people find themselves unable to put the phone away any time even when they're at the dinner table with their kids or they need a moment. just to take a break. the bill would require california employers to create companywide plans clearly spelling out working and non-working hours.

>> employees would have to consent to would all be in writing. exceptions include salaried workers with contracts, bosses to break the deal. 3 times could be reported to the state labor commissioner and face fines. if cain is bill does become law. it would make california the first state in the country to officially embraced disconnect philosophy. at least 15 countries worldwide have similar laws from france and australia to the philippines hany things his version has been made so flexible that we'll win over even the critics. >> i think if you think about it, it's common companies can still have very long hours. if they want, they can still ask their folks to work weekends and nights and all that. but be clear about it. i have a policy when people can disconnect when they can switch and allow player and

employee and make sure they're on the same page. >> he thinks this does have a pretty good shot at passing. meantime, it is not lost on haney. bay area helped create the culture of always being available, working around the clock. places like silicon valley. he says he considers that all the more reason to jump in and try to make things better. >> all right. thank you, catherine going to take a break. look at this. the radar there you see on the right shows the rain falling in the bay. but on the left, snow falling as well. this is our camera atop mount tam where they are certainly getting big dose of snow. looks like tahoe, doesn't it? we'll be back with more coverage in just a minute.

what we're all excited about. i don't at this point you're not excited about the rain anymore. and that's ok, we've seen a lot of it. but this snow is been a fun addition, especially considering how late in the year we are and how low in elevation the snow is falling. this is mount tam right now and he is coming down up there. we've seen a couple of flurries in mount tam earlier this year, but nothing has stuck. it only took april to finally bring a snowfall that is actually sticking to the summit of mount tam right now. that is something to behold. in fact, as measurements are gathered today and what the atmosphere temperatures going to be at the mid-levels likely to be some records broken on just how cold this april system is. so this is normally a system you'd see earlier on in the year. but wow, look at how cold it is enough that we do have snow on a lot of our bay area mountaintops, of course, kate, nor the fact that what we're dealing with, the more pressing thing is how rainy it is as you're trying to make your way into work. this morning, we are seeing heavy rainfall from danville conquered on up through fairfield right there along

6.80, highway for stretching from concord, on over towards the intersection of 80 is also very wet. richmond center fell bridge bay bridge, golden gate very wet as well. there's that snow showing up radar in mount tam mountains above santa rosa are also getting it not to mention some heavy snowfall going on right now in mount hamilton. we also do have some cloud to ground lightning now reported and confirmed just above morgan hill in the hills there. this is actually thunder snow in some areas. that's not a word you hear a lot because it's not something that is super common necessarily but cold air and unsettled air resulting in convection and snow both at the same time down toward santa cruz. some pretty heavy thunderstorm activity going on down there. so it is an active morning. unfortunately, mother nature is giving us the most widespread and heavy of activity right in the middle of your mornins drive to work. this is less than convenient for us towards 10:00am. we start to see some sunshine peeking through, but don't think we're out of the woods

just yet. chance of isolated thunderstorm development will continue well into the afternoon and evening tonight. so be ready to go for rainfall. any point today temperatures are cold. you can imagine that out 40's to low 50's currently and even some 30's in spots like calistoga in kelsey bill, where snow level is dropping well, down to 1500 feet, if honestly, not even lower than that right now. here's the east bay hills. still rainfall right there in the oakland hills, 50's for your daytime highs later on today. michael. >> thanks, john. and good morning, everyone. well, as someone who's keeping an eye on these roads, he is not line. we've got a lot going on and you can see behind me, this is traffic tracker for. we've got a lot of areas that are red and orange, meaning there's a lot of delays this morning. so i want to start off by giving you some drive times of those of you in the east bay. take a look right here. right now. 29 minute commute crockett to the maze from walnut creek. tip 5.80. it's a 24 minute commute from castro valley to the maze. it's a 26 minute commute. 25 minute commute. san leandro to
