The CHP is still investigating what caused this accident that closed Highway 12 for a couple of hours Tuesday.  However officers did notice the tires were very worn on a vehicle that lost control.  That may have contributed to the crash.

Just a reminder to check the tread before driving in the wet weather!

The first day of August kicks off to a pleasant start with mild temperatures in the mid 70s warming to the upper 80s by Monday evening, according to News10 meteorologist Mellisa Paul. Some areas will see even sunnier skies during the day with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s in the valley.

Temperatures will remain slightly below normal for this time of year, with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s throughout the rest of the work week. Enjoy the cooler weather now because Paul says next week is looking to heat up to normal hot summer weather for the second week of August.
