microclimates all kind of do something different. 60s in the forecast for the coastline, 70s and 80s highlight the inland areas. taking a look at the virtual reality map, let me turn on the fog and show you what the daytime highs will look like. san francisco and half moon bay, holding onto the 50s. if you live in antioch or work in livermore, upper 70s and lower 80s. beautiful forecast in the santa clara valley. it is gloomy now but will look a lot different over the next few hours. starting with futurecast, this is a good tool to show you at what point that this will improve. the forecast is beautiful this week other than all of this ache. napa and sonoma county, it will start to pull back along the coastline with the beautiful, sunny skies in the wine country and down to the santa clara

valley. pacifica, half moon bay, the peninsula is getting split in half. let's take a live look over the bay bridge. metering lights have turned on and there is a buildup after the toll plaza. those slow conditions will continue as you make your way across the bridge and into the city. as jeana franco would say, pack your patience. jumping over to the san mateo bridge cam, a little slow on the right side of the bridge. approaching 101 on 92, although no major delays toward highway 101. taking a live look outside from oakland, the new police chief will have his first monday in office, he comes to the bay following an exhaustive

francisco. the permanence of hybrid work has been a major challenge for the bay area metros. according to a real estate firm, the office vacancy rate reached nearly 37%. it is really not uncommon to hear things like, downtown is a ghost town during the day. but vacancy rates really seems to dominate the narrative but is one of the bigger pieces of the puzzle and is not the only one. >> we have two people here today and that is crowded. >> perhaps it is just mary fitzgerald's bus stop or perhaps it is indicative of the bigger picture in san francisco, but her commute across the city to her downtown office is a breeze. when she goes to the office. >> i am here two days a week. >> in the pre-pandemic world, fitzgerald probably would have done this commute every day, working and spending a lot of time downtown but the pandemic induced hybrid work model as stuck around and adapting to

that continues to be a challenge for downtown san francisco. during the monday through friday work hours, at least. >> it is still a little quiet. i think that wednesday is the crowded day in the office. >> the university of toronto school of cities has been tracking downtown recovery process for years now, by utilizing cell phone data to compare recent population patterns to pre-pandemic numbers. and of the cities that they track, the downtown san francisco area remains one of the slowest to recover during the monday through friday working hours . it is at about 56% of pre-pandemic activity levels. dr. karen chappell talks a lot of it up to being the new norm. >> it is a moving target. it is still in flux. >> when the evening rolls around, something changes. the activity downtown searches from

56% to 94% of pre-pandemic activity, painting another part of the picture of downtown's recovery. like the pitcher of john's experience in union square. >> john's grill has seen a massive influx of foot traffic. locals and tourists alike. >> on these weeknights, people were in and out of his restaurant all day. >> we never left this location. we have been at 63 ellis street for 116 year >> also plenty of reservations on the books. >> a lot of business deals, a lot of couples and some large parties. >> he said he noticed things beginning to change last year. >> we had one of the best years on record last year. sales have gone up, actually at john's grill >> and while he can only speak

opportunity for san francisco. >> it is an incredible place. i can't wait for more people. >> a little bit over a year ago i had a conversation with dr. chappell about downtown san francisco is recovery and she said that san francisco seemed to be stuck. i asked her if she still thinks that is the case . >> i don't think san francisco is stuck. i think we are seeing the come back and a hint of what san francisco will be 10 years from now. >> tomorrow we will take you to downtown oakland and speak to a restaurant owner that says opening up for lunch during the workweek does not make sense but dinner and drinks is a different ball game. >> it is fascinating to see that difference between the day and morning crowd and the night crowd. that is why the mayor said she would like to see more

night markets. >> it seems that they are leading to those nighttime activities. but people during the day still need solutions. it is incredibly tough for so many business owners who needed to change the air entire business model. >> a barbir down the street said the city has never been the same. if you have ideas coming get on x and let us know. a second actress south bay retiree, building bridges between communities. the new role giving him a new lease on life . later, celebrating the roots and resilience of our

it's time to get away and cache in, at cache creek casino resort, to rock and to roll. to go all out or... go all in. with four stars and rising stars, northern california's premier casino resort is the perfect place...

been much more fulfilling for me and i want to continue this journey. >> at 66 years old, bob was the oldest in his police academy, youngest colleague was 23 years old. he says his it could shape and physical health helped him get through the academy. >> we learned about vehicle operations, learned about shooting. >> after monday he will begin months of field training and chances are he will not be doing felony search warrants or sprinting full speed to chase after bad guys. he says he would like to do more community policing where he could use his life experience to engage with the community and businesses and wants to incorporate more technology to prevent and solve crime. >> involves taking the business skills i had for my prior career and implying them toward law enforcement. >> his wife said she has seen

his transformation and has been much happier in this career. >> i thought he would have a retirement career or hobby of building things. i didn't think he would be building community. i was very pleased to hear that. it is a noble thing to be doing. >> his entire family supports his work and bob is excited to serve the community. >> i am committed to the second career. i am waiting to sleep on the painting of the badge by my wife. >> at 67, bob believes none of us should let age be anything that defines us. it is a wonderful and important to show us that we live while we are alive >> and what his wife said, who would have known that he would be building community instead of building things. >> she's got to be so proud. maybe she is glad to have him out of the house for a little while, too. let's take a live look outside on this monday morning. here is a beautiful view of the

foggy bay bridge on this monday morning. typical for this time of the year. >> very typical for this time of the year, but there is a beautiful sunrise just over that marine layer. overlooking the santa clara valley, with all of that may gray holding on tight. noticing that widespread throughout the bay area. we can paint a good picture of what all the microclimates will see today. into the afternoon the marine layer will pull back and we will see in your skies and warmer temperatures. 80s near antioch, but still cool and cloudy along the coastline, 50s near half moon bay. san francisco, warming up fast pass the golden gate bridge. let's dive into the marine layer just a bit more. we are all waking up to it this morning. into the

with partly cloudy conditions all week and 70s in the forecast. but this is the time of the year where the coast and inland areas really start to do their own dance. the marine layer holding on tight to the coastline so we see 50s and 60s along san francisco and half moon bay. closer to oakland, we will see 70s around the corner as we head into this week. let's talk about mass transit commuters. there is about a 20 minute delay for you going toward richmond and the daly city direction. part reporting a problem with equipment. as we take a look elsewhere, commuters coming from the altamont pass dealing with heavy traffic coming in from tracy and a stalled vehicle in one of the lanes going westbound on 580 into livermore. make sure you drive safe as you head out the door.
