Downpour slows evening commute in South Bay

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (KGO) -- Tuesday night's downpour started in the South Bay just as rush hour traffic was about to start.

The recent rains have made this the wettest December in San Jose in nearly 60 years. The area had a total of 6.62 inches of rain this month.

Drivers should avoid the on-ramp to Northbound Hwy 87 and northbound 280, which closed during last week's storms.
