Looking at the bay, we expected the san mateo bridge to experience a lot more traffic. But, look at that. It looks standard. We are looking at the flow approaching the bay bridge. That is standard as well. In fact, lighter. Less than a half hour from highway 4 over to the toll plaza. We take a live look out there. All lanes are filled in. The fast track lanes are moving. A lane on the right side is still closed. The folks off the 880, they are the ones headed in. The restriction of one lane will cause additional back ups. That route is tougher.

You can see this box truck that was involved in the deadly accident speeding in the lanes headed to the toll plaza moments before that crash. According to chp, the driver of the rented box truck hit several cars before hitting and destroying the toll booth. The attendant inside was 46yearold si si han who worked for cal trains more than a decade. The driver could face charges for driving under the influence and vehicular manslaughter.

They are not doing very well right now. They are coping as best they can. This is an awful experience for everyone involved. Reporter now, lane 14, that lane that was destroyed will remain closed.

That is good news. The flow of traffic to and through the bay bridge toll plaza is smooth right now. The east shore freeway from highway 4 to the toll plaza is still under a half hour.

North korea state media says the joint drill pushes all sides to the brink of nuclear war. 6 45. The white house is trying to undo the damage caused by a president ial tweet. A tweet that says the president obstructed justice. President trump has been tweeting about all kind of things trying to walk back this. A tweet from saturday. The important sentence is the very first one. I had to fire general flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the fbi. The problem here is the time line. The president now says he fired flynn because he lied to the fbi. That firing was february 13th. Then on february 14th, the fbi director, james comey says trump asked him to go easy on flynn. I hope you can let it go, the president reportedly said. Trump denies that conversation ever took place. Its his word against the then director of the fbi. The white house now says trump never wrote that tweet you just saw. His lawyer did. Now, why his lawyer would take over the President Trumps twitter to write a tweet that implicates his own client is hazy to us this morning. The president supporting roy moore, the man accused of Sexual Conduct running for senate. Trump says we need roy moore to win alabama. Moore tweeted back, thankful for President Trumps support. That special election is a week from tomorrow. Several polls indicate moore may win. Meanwhile, President Trump will head to utah this morning to announce hes reducing the size of a National Monument there. Really, hes pushing longtime utah senator, orin hatch to run. That would prevent mitt romney from running for the spot. Romney called trump a phony and fraud. Orin hatch has been supportive of the president. Utah has a tense relationship with trump. Its conservative but not conservative the way other red states are. The lds church through their newspaper asked trump to step down as a candidate after the access hollywood tape. Well see what kind of reception he gets today. We examine his tweets and special orders on today in the bay. You can contact me on twitter. Thanks so much for that. Did you see it . Ooh the moon was gigantic last night. Take a look at that. Ooh, beautiful there. Supermoon seen across the country. Its when the full moon coincides to the closest orbit to earth. Pictures can be seen from around the world. So beautiful. They are all real. They are real. The moons greatest was around 12 45 this morning. If you want to see more, head over to facebook. I see it looking like that, but my pictures dont look like that. The angle. That pull of the moon increases the tides in the area. We have king tides going on and it may cause flooding along the coast. In San Francisco, all clear. We were able to see that moon earlier this morning. As the sunrises now, look at the golden gate bridge, a beautiful start to this monday morning. Im going to keep a close eye on spots like ocean beach and great highway. This will be much closer to the water because of the king tides. The tides come up at about 10 00 this morning. So, we have about three hours before we reach the highest tide and we call it king tide because we have these big fluctuations between high and low tide and well do it all over again tomorrow with some of those waves coming up to almost seven feet for tomorrow. But, highest today. The high temperatures coming up to 60 degrees this afternoon for palo alto, san jose and livermore. Oakland, 62 degrees and 59 degrees in San Francisco. Low 60s for the north bay. Here is a live look outside in san jose. All clear this morning as you get ready to head out. Its windy and cold. Grab a hat, like a beanie. Anything else may fly away with the high wind gusts. Also, a nice, warm coat. Later today, as we warm up, a good day for long sleeves and pants. Also, cool temperatures, again, later on tonight into tomorrow. Heading out the door for school this morning in san jose, get the kids ready. Its going to be in the mid40s. As we go through the day, a light jacket needed. Dry all week long. The storm track, really far to the north. All the way up to canada. Even for us and parts of the pacific northwest, this High Pressure keeps us very dry, unusual for this time of year as we start to see a lot more rain. If you have noticed, its my first day back from vacation. Aloha spent part of my time off in hawaii. You can see my pictures on facebook. As we update the forecast, cool to start and warming up as we go through the week. Still, staying dry. Well talk about this and mike tracking the dhachanges at the bridge. We look at the shot and the back up is forming for most lanes. Look, the left approach is starting to lighten up. Whats going on is we had all but one lane reopen this morning off to the right approach where the deadly crash happened early saturday morning. Lane 14. The toll booth that was destroyed where the person was killed there. That is still closed. That affects folks off the 880. That is the issue off the nimitz. The rest of the approach is looking lighter. I think a lot of folks intended to avoid that toll plaza. The rest of the bay, i expected more traffic across the san mateo bridge. Well talk about that in a second. I wanted to point out in the south bay, over the last ten minutes, we have seen 101, 87 and 85 start to show that build. The south bay is starting right on queue. It does look at the speed sensors, they are lighter than we often see on a monday. A crash, 880 toward whipple road may be affecting traffic. It should be off to the shoulder any second and cause more slowing. That will be the only real effect. Right now, im not seeing a lot of traffic coming down from the bay bridge. All but one lane is open this morning. If you want to avoid driving, take transit and part from the roadways under the water. No delay there.
