Hes been there before rescrewing the prototypes for the wall he wants to build or exwand or rebuild in that part of california. This is a big part, as you know, of his promise from the last election and his platform for the next one, and it comes as he spends a couple of days in california raising funds for that election. Of course he was in the bay area last night, today in los angeles, and in san diego for more private fundraisers where hell not only raise money but try to push his vision for immigration and for the wall. Hes getting pushback although his administration of late has won a couple of big victories in the u. S. Supreme court that may allow him to move forward.

Reporter it was a long night, Santa Clara City Council surprised for some folks but at 11 00 this morning, we expect to hear more details why the citys Stadium Authority decided to bench the niners when it comes to nonfootball events. You likely know theres been a huge rift between the Stadium Authority which is eis enrvelly Santa Clara City Council and the 49ers. There have been curfew complaints and acts like ed sheeran and the Rolling Stones say its not worth it. The Stadium Authority ended the teams management deal over living wages for employees and booking nonnfl events that lose money. In a statement, the 49ers accuse the city manager of retaliation saying in part her proposal is purely retaliatory, and will result in increased costs, lost events and further erode the Publics Trust in her abilities. She is abdicating her fiduciary duty by destroying a city asset for petty, political vendettas. Sports fans feel theyre stuck in the middle of the fight. A sports team in a city can do great things for each other when both parties are willing to work together. Reporter the Stadium Authoritys press conference is at 11 00 this morning here in santa clara. We will have a reporter there and cover that for you, but also we expect it wont be the last word on the issue. We expect this issue will end up in court.

Until they sign the check for that tuition. They always say theyre happy, as they drive away, thats when it hits you. I cant imagine. Ive heard its tough. I still remember that day. Starting out this morning with a chance of rain. This is the worst youre moving and there is some rain coming in. Well have to plan around the showers passing by especially in the north bay. Its been very spotty and this is not as widespread as we saw on monday, but still some wet weather coming through thats going to make those streets a little bit more soggy, as you get ready to head out there. Its dry elsewhere and in concord, the rain holds off, well see some mid60s to start, 75 degrees at 1 00 and it keeps it cool and breezy, a chance of showers moving through with all of our high temperatures much cooler than normal, only reaching the upper 70s and low 80s in some of the warmer spots. The coastal temperatures will reach into the mid60s. Mike, youre checking back in on whats happening on the peninsula. Thats right. You were talking about the moveins at Stanford University offramp in the area, thats moving smoothly as we had a few minutes ago the last of the traffic breaks through this area. So now north in through palo alto and menlo park a smooth drive once again. We shouldnt have any more traffic breaks for the morning there. We have a crash though 101 at sierra point parkway, involves a vehicle off to the right shoulder and thats just fine. The other crash a street off of 880 the onramp at a street. Build into walnut creek for south 680, where you see a little slowing and we still have that big rig on the shoulder west 37 but things havent gotten much worse out of vallejo, jammed up toward mayor island which is typical. The backup at the bay bridge also typical. You see fastrak lanes moving and thats good news. Emphasize here the big advantages if you carpool like these folks. Back to you.

Ill talk about that and whats ahead with a warmer weekend, in less than five minutes. Travel times through the trivalley look great.

The fed is under huge pressure from the white house to lower rates but its very unlikely or really impossible that the questioned is going to lower rates as far as donald trump wants it to. President trump who really should not be telling the fed what to do the aall wants zero percent Interest Rates. The fed is not going to do that. Also, the president wants to refinance government debt, but thats not how that works. The fed does not set Mortgage Rates, at least not directly. Its complicated. That said Mortgage Rates are falling near a year low, 30rate fixed 3. 5 nationwide, its tougher to get in california because this is assuming 20 down. Speaking of not living in california, the San Francisco Clothing Company chubbies is leaving San Francisco bound for austin, texas. It will take about 40 employees with it. We have seen a number of apparel and equipment companies, sports equipment, that sort of thing leave the bay area, which makes a lot of sense. We have just this tremendous amount of talent in all places, but in tech in particular, so if youre doing something thats tech heavy, you probably have to stay. If youre doing Something Else thats really cool, you can really leave and find Better Things for your employees outside of california. Right. Businesses look for the tax benefits as well. Tax benefits, cost of living, just the overall environment, austin would be a fabulous place to take your company. Interesting to see. Thanks, scott. 6 16 for you right now.

Thats why we see them hanging out at the mall friday nights. On their digital media. Exactly. Instagraming. Lets get started this morning. Its going to be cooler. We are tracking a chance of some rain moving through, rain once again. We start out the week this way and another systems dropping in. Were seeing mostly some spotty showers moving through the north bay right now, and then elsewhere its been partly to mostly cloudy. Some of the rain moving through parts of northern marin, up toward Sonoma County and extending over toward napa county as well. So well be watching that. Our hour by hour outlook shows what the radar could look like and if you have the nbc bay area app, you can get alerts as the rain approaches your location, and helps keep you ready for the day. Here we are at 9 00, were seeing the rain moving through napa and moving in to San Francisco. We go towards 10 00, 11 00, its still spotty and then moving into the parts of the east bay as well as the peninsula, and then making its way to the south by 1 00 to 2 00, its moving in to san jose, and still by early afternoon, its moving through the south county, so this one moving a lot slower than the system we had on monday, but we will all clear out as we go throughout the day with breezy nds. It also looks very light in terms of rain, not everyone will measure rain, but where we do, it will be a few hundredths of an inch, just enough to make everything soggy. A live look outside in San Francisco, with a nice clear start to the day, as we get the kids up and out the door for school this morning in the south bay, expect those temperatures will be right at about 60 degrees and they may have lunch inside, once that rain starts to move in around 11 00 to 2 12 00. When you pick them up we have a chance of showers in the south bay with high temperatures reaching the mid70s. Well see highs up to about 80 degrees in antioch, one of the warmer spots, as we go towards the end of the week, this system moves out. We do keep the cooler weather, a breezy northerly wind but it will start to heat up going into the weekend as High Pressure moves in and slight cooling sunday into monday. Our ten tours still going up and down, so we are in the upper 70s today, and its going to feel nice and cool, but then look at saturday, were up to 92 with sunshine, and then coming down a few degrees on sunday. So a lot of changes here over the next several days. Mike, so far the drive looks pretty good. It is. A pretty smooth drive around most of the bay. You have your slower spots but a Pleasant Drive because there arent any major crashes right now. Looking at 680 through the trivalley, pleasanton, i guess its appropriately termed and southbound 880 where we had that crash on the a street onramp. The build at the san mateo bridge ill that you in our next report, slowing of course westbound. Here slow as well southbound vasco. When you narrow from two lanes to the last one lane in toward the stretch toward 580, thats where we see the slowing and vasco at communo diablo, crash no major injuries there. A build for bay point and concord and youll see 242 and south 680 start some more slowing through Pleasant Hill and also the maze itself, the build in the upper east shore freeway, standard and this is the only section where we see anything changing from green to orange and yellow the slower speeds. The richmondsan rafael bridge over to the north bay without any problem, taking you under the water, b. A. R. T. No delays.

All week long nbc news along with nbc bay area are bringing to light the impacts of climate change. This morning we take a closer look at the phenomenon known as precipitation winlash. Meteorologist kari hall delves into why california is seeing more extreme swings of rain and droughts in years to come. Its part of life in california to have long periods of time without rain and heavy deluges in winter, but now climate scientists are predicting that due to a warmer planet, california will experience precipitation whiplash, that means well have worsening droughts, which will alternate with extreme rainfall in the winters, and instead of having our rainy season lasting from october to april, that heavy rain will all fall in a shorter period of time, causing major flooding. I spoke with climate scientist daniel swain who came up with the term precipitation the term precipitation whiplash. Even though precipitation isnt increasing or decreasing on average, were seeing more potential for drought and more potential for floods at the same period of time, so what we end up, what we may end up seeing from year to year is an increase in the propensity to go from very wet conditions to very dry conditions or vice versa. Swain adds we need to focus on water storage perhaps using uifers instead of reserv.

Our buddy ben in toc Operations Center found it there, one vehicle on the shoulder. There was a quick traffic break that got released from university and thats why we have all this traffic past us.

Well continue to track that. More traffic will hit the bay bridge toll plaza making things slow down a bit there, already with the metering lights on. The rest of the bay shows a smooth drive. Ill show you the san mateo bridge, crowded, headed west a little slower now. Thanks, mike. Breaking news a tragic house fire in San Francisco overnight, two people were actually pulled from the burning home. Sadly, one of them died. Thom jensen is live in the terrace neighborhood. A neighbor told you more about the people who lived in that home . Reporter yes, just a short time ago, good morning. A man who lives on the other side of this house the ohm at 66 delano avenue, hes known the family for a little more than 20 years, this is about a block or so from bell bow with a park. The neighbor woke up to the home in flames at about 2 00 this morning and he could hear the new england woman in her 20s who lives here calling to her father. A door was too hot to open, he smashed a window and smoke poured from the house. He yelled at the young woman who grew up with his son to come out but she never responded. The man said it was too dangerous for him to go inside the home. I heard her screaming dad and i was screaming camella, come out. She grew up with my son. 23 years old, just started law school at usf so its horrible. San francisco fire has only confirmed a woman who lived here died and a man is in Critical Condition but not confirmed their names or approximate ages. A dog also found dead inside the burning home is a puppy that the dad and daughter had recently adopted. Back live arson investigators were on the scene earlier today and are expected to come back later on this morning to find an exact cause and the area where this fire started but the fire chief told us not to read anything into that because that typically happens in every fatal fire. No suspicions here to report. Were live in San Francisco, thom jensen, today in the bay. We have more breaking news to tell you about. President trump just announcina hes slapping more sanctions on iran after an attack on Oil Facilities in saudi arabia. He instructed the secretary of treasury to increase sanctions but the news is just breaking so we dont know what the sanctions include. Saudi arabia was expected to directly blame iran today for a raid that hid two Oil Facilities on the arabian peninsula. Iran denies involvement. There are reports the Trump Administration is mulling a military response. Democrats though have been quick to condemn any attack. 6 33, a 14hourlong Police Standoff is now over in the south bay. Started about 12 30 yesterday afternoon on madeira avenue in san jose. The suspect stayed inside and wouldnt come out. He was taken into custody without incident shortly after 2 00 a. M. Ride share safety certainly top of mind as lyft faces a new lawsuit and uber adds a new safety feature. Bob redell is live in walnut creek to explain more. Reporter uber added this new safety feature called ride check. As you can see in this video released by the Ride Sharing Service this ride check app basically lets you do three things. Lets you know if the ride has gone off course, it will let you know if theres, it will activate if theres been a stoppage for an unusual amount of time, and it will also activate when youve been in a collision. Something doesnt seem right, the ride check activates in the app and gives you and or your driver letting uber know everything is okay and if its not, you can use the emergency button, or report the issue to uber safety line. Uber might follow up by phone and if theres a crash, uber can help expedite insurance claims. Uber installed an emergency button inside that allows to you digitally share info with 911 dispatchers, that is not new. Ubers main rival lyft has a similar 911 button and expected to release a similar ride check feature later in the year. According to an online publication a woman is suing lyft for failing to keep passengers safe after she says she was kidnapped at gunpoint by her lyft driver in new york and then raped by him and two other men, back in 2017. When she complained to lift, she says she received a canned response that read apologize for the inconvenience that i had been through referring to her. She claims lyft allowed the driver to remain on their platform under a different name. Lift said the victim did not report the rape as a safety incident, rather an indirect route asking for a refund and didnt become aware of the rape until reported in tthe press. There were 18 lyft drivers and 103 uber drivers last year who were accused of Sexual Assault or abuse. Reporting live here in walnut creek, bob redell, today in the bay.

You may recall service was stopped after fissures were sound in the support beams. Repairs have been made to the building and the transit buses are already running through that area. 6 37 right now. Checking that morning commute, pretty green behind me right now. It is green and the traffic maps green. Karis map the green radar means more rain and shell talk about that in a second. A crash north 280 had me concerned at lawrence expressway. Four vehicles involved but no major injuries and they are off to the shoulder. Well track that as the rest of Silicon Valley builds but its a typical pattern, same thing typical slowing for vasco, two lanes to one lane and toward 580, its about 40 minutes right now from marsh creek road down to 580. A typical pattern, keeping our eyes on things, crowded in the last few weeks there, as well as westbound highway 4 crowded, standard through bay point. The arrow shows you the earlier crash bogged down the east shore freeway. The live shot shows you the crash cleared from the roadway at university but the cars have not cleared. No, certainly not. A lot of traffic out there right there. The commuters probably looking forward to the weekend, right . So are we. Yes, its going to be a warm weaken weekend, going back to the warm weather after the rain passes.

If you dont understand ill show you whats going on. A bombshell announcement in santa clara where the Stadium Authority fires the 49ers for all nonnfl events at levis stadium. The city says the Stadium Authority ended the teams management deal over living wages for employees and booking nonnfl events that lose money.

This would be his fourth, scott mcgrew. Four in just three years. Good morning. He set a record with that, laura. A few minutes ago President Trump tweeted he asked Robert Obrien to be his next security adviser. Obrien currently works at the state department. He attended high school in santa rosa, studied law at cal berkeley. Obrien replaces john bolton, who was fired after reportedly he disagreed with President Trumps plan to invite al qaeda to a peace summit in maryland. Before that it was mcmaster who disagreed with the president on russia, before that michael flynn, fired for lying to the white house about contacts with russia. Other news, the House Judiciary Committee held a contentious meeting with President Trumps former Campaign Manager on tuesday. The white house to congressman id be happy to answer your question or you can have your conversation by yourself. Zbl im going to continue dont ask me a question if you dont want to hear my answer. Lewandowski did give the committee one tidbit. The president ordered him to ask the attorney general Jeff Sessions to limit the scope of the russia investigation. Lewandowski says he never passed on that order. The House Judiciary Committee says its investigating whether the president broke laws and abused his power, which sounds an awful lot like a preliminary impeachment hearing and the committees chairman says hes comfortable with that wording, thats caused a widely reported split between nadler and pelosi, who doesnt want to use the word impeachment. Really its kind of a question of law versus politics. Pelosi knows the democrats dont have the votes to impeach but nadler is gathering evidence from trumps own advisers of high crimes and misdemeanors. President trump continues his tour of california today. Well have more about that in our midday newscast, as he visits the border. President trump and his former close ally, republican Lindsey Graham are fighting on twitter. Graham says the iranians think President Trump is weak for aulg off a military strike after the iranians shot down an american drone. The president takes exception to that. A short while ago he tweeted he increased sanctions on iran, we presume this is related to the strikes on the saudis, but washington has not actually specifically said iran was responsible. Only that it suspects so. Were covering everything on twitter, you can follow me scottmcgrew. T. Thanks, scot baseball time for you. As and the royals in oakland last night. The as winning 20. With the game, ten games remaining in the regular season, the team has a 1 1 2 lead for the top wildcard spot. Good luck to them. The as started their game after the giants last night and finished three hours before. The giants were at fenway park in boston for a sixhour game. Giants Mike Yastrzemski hanging out with his hall of fame grandfather. Pretty cool, and red sox legend carl yastrzemski. The younger yas just for the family and the crowd of course hit a home run. Everybody went wild, including his family in the stands. Thats really cool. Hes a local boy there. The game went into extra innings in the top of the 15th inning, score tied, dickerson with a sacrifice fly. The giants ended up beating the red sox 76. Always nice when we can get a win. I wonder if the out of town got such a big applause if grandpa wasnt there. I dont know, its all good. Lets look at whats outside this morning. Kari, youve been telling us about some rain in the area . Rain moving through parts of the north bay, thats rolling through fairly quickly out ahead of a system that will bring in some spotty showers, not all of us will see it, and were seeing it hit or miss, as we get a look at our satellite and radar, especially in the north bay right now. As you get ready to head out, it moved through santa rosa, approaching san rafael and moving toward napa later this morning. So as we get a look at our hour by hour forecast, we are going to see a chance of rain continuing for the north bay through about 9 00, and then it starts to move in to San Francisco by 10 00 to 11 00 and it does show that a lot of that rain breaks up, so once again not everyone will see it, but there will be the chance that we could see those showers hit or miss, anywhere across the bay area, even into the afternoon, for the south bay it may not be until about 2 00 to 3 00 before we see the rain moving through, and then the rest of the day is all dry. Our rain may total up to about just a few hundredths of an inch, thats it, and then the rest of the day once again breezy, with a mix of sun and clouds. As we get that live look outside in the south bay, lets head over to willow glen. It shows that we could see that rain approaching by noon into 1 00 to 2 00, with our highs only reaching the 70s today, up to 75 degrees downtown. In concord expect a high of 79 degrees. 78 in napa, and oakland reaching 72. San francisco staying in the mid60s today and if youre in the city, youre looking for something to do and you love books, check out this big book sale happening at the ft. Mason center. Goes on all day and also for the next several days and as far as our temperatures, it will be in the upper 60s, a mix of sun and clouds, reaching into the low 70s throughout the day. And then going into the rest of the week, so this storm system moves out, and then well still have our northerly wind and bringing in some slightly cooler temperatures. As we go into the weekend, well start to see High Pressure nudging in, even as the storms continue to roll to our north, and we are going to be heating up. So we have upper 70s today, chance of showers mostly early in the day, mid 80s for tomorrow in some of our warmer spots and as we go into saturday, 92 degrees. It is going to be a hot weekend. Then slightly cooler for sunday. Mike, that south bay commute starting to build now. Thats right, but not a surprise and no real problems. Were showing you 101, a great drive, some clouds visible here and kari talked about what is sweeping through the entire bay, including the south bay, so periods of light rain. Keep that in mind for this afternoon and evening for the south bay. Right now this morning were seeing that typical build northbound and west. 280 right there at lawrence expressway the crash on the shoulder thats where we see things loosen up as folks pass by that. Its typically the pattern out of san jose pushing up toward cupertino, santa clara getting toward sunnyvale over the next half hour. In the east bay, also eastbound 92 just over at hesperian you may be distracted by a crash westbound. Sounds like from chp they had affected the traffic on the westbound commute direction approaching the toll plaza. Well continue to follow that. West highway 4 shows the standard slowing through bay point. West 80 down through berkeley, clearing up, sorting it self out past golden gate field. The earlier crash cleared and that did leave the bay bridge toll plaza a little bit lighter, now seeing the traffic flow. Because of this jam right here, some folks may have bailed out headed toward the richmond to san rafael bridge and there we see a heavy backup over the last 15 minutes, the richmond side headed over toward the north bay, so keep that in mind. The bay bridge not really showing that little bit of slight lightening of traffic and building up once again. Laura, back to you. Thanks for watching it, mike. 6 53.
