Advisable to carry the umbrella today. Well have a shower pop up at any time of the day. Theres still that possibility of an isolated thunderstorm, as well. Our temperatures this morning are up to about 15 degrees cooler than where we were just 24 hours ago so when you have that cooler air mass overriding the warm air from yesterday, thats when we have the instability and thats when were seeing those thunderstorms popping at any time. In addition we have a high surf warning. We do have 27 feet swells that have been breaking off the point reyes coast and we have a coastal flood advisory. When we have high tide at 10 30 this morning that coincides with a high surf. Well naturally have flooding around the manzanita parkway and Santa Cruz Beach areas. Well have more on the forecast but lets send it over to liza. We are going back to those live pictures of 101 traffic. Traffic along lucky drive at the ramp near 101 where we do have deep standing water across all lanes. So take it nice and easy if you plan on making the commute along 101 or lucky drive in marin county. This morning its one of the many areas on bay area roadways that are flooded out so far this morning. We are getting reports of also deep standing water along 280 approaching cesar chavez in San Francisco. And in san jose, also flooding being reported in the outside lanes of 101 at yerba buena where we have the exit shut down coming off of south 101. A car spun out hit a power pole. That car caught fire and now that power pole is down. So we have a small power outage in the area and again, south 101 approaching yerba buena, that exit is shut down at this point. The 580 commute problematic with accidents in the westbound direction of 580. Two of them approaching harrison. Another one approaching grand and theres also standing water ponding reported in the left hand lanes of 580. Now, the nimitz, no accidents but you can expect some of that ponding and the chp is warning drivers of this problem north 880 at broadway. Youre going to see it especially in the outside lanes. They tell us that at this point, southbound 880 is looking okay in terms of flooding. Right here the bay bridge toll plaza, westbound traffic still flowing well getting into the city. No traffic delays here so i guess the bright spot in all of this, the traffic volumes are lower today because it is a friday. Certainly though youre going to want to give yourself some extra time to get into work. More kcbs traffic coming up. Now to frank. Okay, thanks, liza. 5 03 your time.

The helicopter went down in heavy rain and dense fog. A pilot, a nurse, a paramedic and patient were killed. The fbi is looking into the threat in santa clara that forced the evacuation of the council on americanislamic relations, or cair. Kiet do is live for us with more on how police are handling the increase in threats. Reporter Santa Clara Police are working with the fbi and they are conducting tests on the letter and the powder. It was a tense day in santa clara yesterday at the offices of the council on American Islamic relations, also known as cair. It was evacuated for hours and hazmat crews cleared the office after somebody sent a letter with the word infidel written on it with white powder in it. The staffers whom we interviewed on monday about islamphobia and donald trump were taken to the hospital just in case. Were hoping the substance was harmless but i think folks are on edge and at the same time, um, feeling defiant that we will not be silenced. We are working to protect the civil rights of all americans. Reporter we are learning more about the woman who threw hot coffee on a man and then hit him with an umbrella as his friends were praying at lake chabot regional park. The woman has been identified as Denise Slater a Program Technician in the Parole Division for the state department of correction. She has been with the department for 10 years. The incident is now being investigated as a hate crime since she yelled such things as allah is evil. As of yesterday, her Employment Status is not changed but the department has launched an internal investigation. The man who was attacked in the video has been overwhelmed by the positive response on social media. Im kind of not happy about what happened. A bit angry. But if you see the comments on the support from people, from real americans, you will that makes me a lot happier. Reporter and back here live at the cair offices in santa clara, by the way, their main headquarters in washington, dc also received a letter with a white powder inside. It was evacuated, as well.

We are we are going to hear today from civil rights attorney john burruss. He says there are new findings video and medical findings that will make this a federal civil rights lawsuit justified. We have already seen a couple of video clips taken by witnesses with cell phones showing officers surrounding mario woods in the bayview on december 2. He is armed with a kitchen knife accused of stabbing someone earlier in the day. Officers say he came at one of them with a knife and that they had no choice but to open fire. Now, the Police Department has faced criticism. People were outraged at a public hearing last week. The chief is asking for permission to arm his officers with tasers. It with obviously another option before using deadly force. But some city supervisors say there may be a more systemic problem. I think the question here for me is not about whether we need to have taser in sfpd. The question is what are the programs in place. Even without tasers was there a better thing to do . I believe there is. Reporter tasers are used in every major city in the u. S. In the Police Departments except detroit and San Francisco. Now, back to this lawsuit that is expected to be announced today, we are expecting some very strong words and well be hearing again from mario woods family. John burruss has already said that the Police Officers in the case were using woods as, quote, target practice. Live in San Francisco, anne makevoc, kpix 5. The public is overwhelmingly in favor of equipping the San FranciscoPolice Department with those tasers. Our exclusive kpix surveyusa poll found a large majority backed the idea, 83 in favor of providing stun guns for the police.

The faa is banning planes from flying over a gas leak in Southern California over fears the fumes could suddenly ignite in midair. The restriction bars aircraft from flying below 2,000 feet near porter ranch. The gas leak started in october. Its forced hundreds of people nearby to leave their homes. You think of it, it could be catastrophic. Something of that magnitude. An airplane, you know. I mean, obviously if they do change it to where they have a flight restriction, again, its all about the safety of the people. Its all about the safety of the neighborhood. The airspace isnt busy so the restrictions shouldnt cause major delays. World leaders will spend another day negotiating a Global Climate change agreement.

Traffic is moving okay now. Do keep in mind theres still reports of deep standing water. We have had several accidents in this area. It may not look too bad now. High tide is scheduled around 10 30 this morning so well get even worse as the morning progresses. As we check on the rest of the commute, if you do plan to make the drive along the golden gate, 101 traffic right here is still looking okay. No major problems to report to you leaving southern marin heading towards San Francisco. But the big hot spot this morning seems to be the 580 commute as it rolls through the oakland area. Two separate accidents. The first one is westbound 580 approaching park. A second accident westbound 580 near 980 both of these problems causing delays now for the 580 commute. You can see our sensors picking up some of those backups this morning. Theres also deep standing water being reported along 580 at harrison in the left lanes. Also along the nimitz in both directions near high street. So those are some of the problem areas to watch out for. We are certainly still watching this accident that happened along 101 in san jose involving a car hydroplaning off of the exit. This is south 101 at yerba buena. Chp has shut down the exit as they work to clear up this accident. Apparently, this car hit a light pole and then caught on fire. So lots of emergency crews are on scene at this point. Traffic on 101 southbound seems to be doing okay approaching the accident scene. Thats a look at kcbs traffic. Heres roberta. What time is it . Its weather watcher time, roberta.

The front pushed through at this time yesterday. And i want to zero in on this right here. See when you see that pink . Were so used to seeing the green and the yellow now were seeing the pink and purple. Thats snow falling in the Mount Hamilton area. Im so excited to see if its going to stick so well find out once the sun comes up. We still have some precipitation also around the santa cruz mountains. It is sloppy and wet at the Golden Gate Bridge. And our temperatures are anywhere between 11 and 15 degrees cooler than yesterday. Steve from los altos one of our weather watcher was saying its 11 degrees cooler there this morning, as well. Okay, you see all the chunky clouds behind the passage of yesterdays front . Thats an indication that we have a lot of unstable air mass. And a lot of unsettled air mass, as well. So our futurecast clearly illustrates that well see a popup shower at any time during the day today and then towards your saturday we are dry albeit cloudy. We see the leading edge of the second cold front again having nothing to do with el nino at all. And that begins to descend on the northern portion of our bay area late on saturday night. So for today, on top of yesterdays over 3 of rain that accumulated in the north bay, at least another half inch of rain in ukiah,. 15 in the hayward area. Nearly. 2 in San Francisco. We still have the winter storm warning in effect for the high sierra. About two to three feet of snow is anticipated by the time it begins to trail off later this afternoon.

So we have the rain developing late saturday. Its a rainout and breezy on sunday. A lingering shower on monday. Then dry skies on tuesday all the way through thursday. So it has been unsettled. It will continue to be unsettled today. But boy, what a lot of excitement. I cannot wait to see if we have snow atop Mount Hamilton. I bet we do. Get the rock skis. You need a rest. You have had a busy couple of days. Oh, i love it. Okay. Thanks, roberta. True weather person. Next friday cannot come soon enough for star wars fans when the force awakens hits theaters.

And in this mornings jobs report, Jill Schlesinger looks at the demand for Market Research analysts. Reporter while youre concerned with checking people off your Holiday Shopping list, retailers are paying careful attention to your buying habits. An entire industry has popped up around collecting and analyzing consumer data. Market Research Analysts are in demand. Job openings in the field are expected to grow 32 over the next several years. Research analysts are employed across a number of industries, retailers, manufacturers, even universities and the government, all wanting to know what makes consumers tick. Companies increasingly rely on data to better target their Marketing Strategies and analysts help gather this information, study it to pinpoint trends and ultimately help sharpen a sales pitch. The data is also used to improve products and services. Market Research Analysts in the bay area earn nearly 88,000 a year. Youll need a College Degree to land one of these positions, but you dont necessarily need to have studied marketing in school. Many analysts have a background in math or statistics, social sciences or communications. After all, gathering data is clearly a science but determining what the data means can often be an art. Im Jill Schlesinger for kpix 5. ,,,,,,,,,, good morning. The warriors tonight looking for their 28th straight win dating back to last season when david lee was part of that championship run. Lee was traded to the celtics because he wanted a chance to start again in another city. He is still very close to his former teammates and has no regrets. Even that trip to vegas that he paid for after the team won the title. I have been jumping a little better this season because my pockets are a little lighter. [ laughter ] Michael Crabtree is probably feeling a little heavier in the pockets. Two days ago the raiders inked him to a new fouryear contract extension. Now, i wrote in my blog that this was a huge move for the culture of the franchise and yesterday, Charles Woodson backed me up. You hear that people, you know, dont want to come to oakland, you know, dont want to play in oakland. Um, but i think things are starting to change. You know . I think people other free agents will take notice. They want to know why. Why you want to stay around here . Why you want to play in oakland . And he will be i think a great ambassador, you know, for the team. Yeah. Big sign for the raiders. Playoffs out of the picture for the 49ers. We know this. But they clearly are very competitive in the locker room ping pong table. Listen to the background noise yesterday. Go, go, whoo ah whoo you have that 23yard line. Oh, whoo heck of a long time [ screaming ] that last guy on camera not distracted by the noise was the kicker field austin. A little locker room frivolity. They look pretty loose. Im dennis odonnell. Have a great weekend. Im kiet do live in santa clara where muslims in the south bay are trying to get back to business as usual after something sent a letter containing a white powdery substance inside. And a new federal rights lawsuit aimed at the San Francisco pd. Coming up, new evidence expected to be presented today. ,,,,,,,,,,, bringing hail, lightning and high winds to the area. How long will it last . And it may loo the storm lingers after bringing hail, lightning and high winds to the area. How long will it last . And its pretty stuff but this snow is packing a big punch with dangerous driving conditions in the sierra. What you need to know if you are planning a weekend trip. Did you say punch . We have a onetwo punch right here in the bay area ill tell you which day this weekend it will rain. And we have a traffic jam on 580 in the westbound direction where there is flooding and an accident blocking multiple lanes. Ill tell you how bad traffic is with kcbs traffic. Good morning, everyone. Its friday, december 11. Im frank mallicoat. Happy friday, im maria medina in for michelle griego. Heres a live look at 101 at lucky drive. Thats in marin county. Rain there has caused flooding forcing drivers to plow through the water and even hydroplane. This is all from a storm system thats continued to soak our region since yesterday. And the storm did some damage in guerneville. A big tree came crashing down on a parked car. The tree also brought down power lines at armstrong woods road. Part of highway 116 was closed for about 2 hours because of that mess. Lots of reports of thunder, lightning and hail. We captured the wild weather in hayward. A crazy commute coming into the city this morning. I dont think its going to change. Now about that video now you saw the lightning and you count. The lower the count, the closer the cell. So it was on top of that person when they shot that video how brave was he all right, good morning, we have noticed a few lightning strikes off the coast this morning. But all that has dissipated. We still have the potential of a thunderstorm in your forecast. This is wraparound moisture from the cold front that came through the bay area between 5 and 8 00 yesterday in the morning bringing gusty winds. You dont see this very often, the green is the light rain, sure we have the yellow which is a moderate rain but the highlights in pink and purple that is snow thats falling in the Mount Hamilton area so when the sun comes up well be sure to let you know if it is sticking with some beautiful pictures hopefully. Moderate rain off invernesss coast and all this will head onshore within the next 20 minutes. Its wet at the Golden Gate Bridge and you will notice the difference as you head out the door. The temperatures are 11 to 15 degrees cooler. Thats because all this cool air is associated with the cold front. Well talk more about what you can expect this weekend coming up in a matter of minutes. But right now, here liza battalones. Good morning. Its a busy commute out there and there is an accident in the clearing stages along 580 westbound where we have had problems with cars hydroplaning and this new accident 580 westbound near the 980 interchange as traffic is stacked up for over a mile approaching the scene. You can see traffic down to 24 Miles Per Hour this accident blocking three lanes of traffic. Also a new crash delaying the commute just leaving the walnut creek interchange southbound 680 near south main. A flooding is going to be an issue along 880 especially northbound approaching broadway. Thats where chp has issued a traffic advisory and in terms of traffic delays, 880 still flowing well in both directions. The bay bridge toll plaza, the metering lights are still off. Traffic is slow just in the lanes there from about the 880 overcrossing. Meantime, well go back to the live pictures of 101 near lucky drive where there is deep standing water across all lanes of the highway. Now, roberta says it will certainly get worse later this morning with high tide scheduled to 10 30. Theres a look at kcbs traffic. Now to frank. Thank you, liza. The storms are providing a whole lot of fresh snow in the sierra with up to 3 feet on some of the highest peaks. Reporter na nguyen with a closer look. Reporter just off highway 50 here just south of kyburz, just a few miles down, but that way is actually youre going to start thinking about if youre coming up 50 this year youre going to need chains. We passed chains a mile down. Unless you have allwheel drive you want snow tires on all the cars if you are coming this way if you dont have chains. As we were driving up here, you get a mix of rain, fog and snow. We started to see snow near 3,000 feet at pollock pines. Up here its falling, getting pretty, sticking to the ground here and if you come over here its snowing here and it looks so pretty along the fence line actually and along the trees. So again if you are coming up this road, though, bring your chains. This storm from thursday is wrapping up. It was warmer but we are expecting a colder one sunday and lower snow levels. So be prepared if you are driving out on 80 or 50 this weekend. Back to you. Thank you. We now know four people were killed last night when a medical helicopter crashed in kern county. The crew was taking a critical patient from Porterville Municipal Airport to a hospital in bakersfield. Dispatchers lost contact with the chopper shortly after 7 p. M.

Reporter covered in protective gear santa clara hazmat crews marched in and out of the council on American Islamic relations for hours after a letter in the mail led to a 911 call. A white powder unidentifiable in the envelope. Reporter the building was evacuated and three staffers who spoke to kpix 5 on monday were taken to the hospital out of the an abundance of caution. We are hoping that the substance was harmless but i think that folks are on edge. And at the same time, feeling defiant that we will not be silenced. We are working to protect the civil rights of all americans. Reporter directly across the street from cair is the Muslim Community association. Its the largest mosque in the bay area. They had extra security. Which is the place for prayer and reflection and a place for people to seek solace and the last thing they should do is worry about their safety. Reporter since the paris attacks and the San Bernardino shootings, muslims say hatred and hostility have ratcheted up even in the bay area. Sunday men praying in Castro Valley at a park were attacked by a woman with an umbrella and coffee. Inside the cair officers, at least a dozen negative calls have come through in the past week. All it takes is one crazy person to do something and a lot of peoples safety can be compromised reporter and back here live at the cair offices in santa clara, by the way, their main headquarters in washington, dc also received a letter with a white powder inside. It was evacuated, as well. Reporter live in santa clara, kiet do, kpix 5. And the San Bernardino attackers appear to have been plotting something much bigger.

He is armed with a kitchen knife accused of stabbing someone earlier in the day. Officers say he came at one of them with a knife and that they had no choice but to open fire. Now, the Police Department has faced criticism. People were outraged at a public hearing last week. The chief is asking for permission to arm his officers with tasers. It would have been another option before using deadly force. Its clear a taser would have made a difference. Its crazy to have knowing between a beanbag and bullet. Reporter tasers are used in every major city in the u. S. In the Police Departments except detroit and San Francisco. Some supervisors want to look into a more potentially systemic problem with the Police Department instead. Well hear from them coming up in the next halfhour. Right now, live in San Francisco, anne makovec, kpix 5. The public is overwhelmingly in favor of equipping the San Francisco police with those tasers. Our exclusive kpix 5 surveyusa poll found a large majority backed the idea in fact 83 saying they are in favor of providing stun guns.

A special Police Camera is being credited with catching a car thief who pistolwhipped a housekeeper in orinda. Investigators say this camera snapped a picture of the lexus the thieves were driving before stealing a porsche. The cameras are designed to help crack occasions like this. The lens is designed to really capture the reflection of a license plate. So this is a critical tool. In this specific case. The cameras are also used by virallists to track wildlife in the area. Police say 18yearold Armani Miller confessed. A man and dog came face to face with a big cat spotted monday morning on the mine hill trail at almaden quicksilver county park in san jose. Park Officials Say the Mountain Lion repeatedly went after the 50pound dog who was on a leash. The dog and its owner escaped unharmed. But the incident has many people who use the park on high alert. It was leashed with the owner. Usually they are solitary hunter so they will go for smaller prey and easier prey out there. I saw some deer. So its kind of i think unusual behavior that it would go for a group of two. Park Officials Say if you see a Mountain Lion dont turn your back, make a lot of noise and make yourself large. Its hard to do. Okay. You want to run. Thats my only fear in life Mountain Lions. And we hear more and more of these stories. I was walking my dog last night at 9 15. Im not happy about this.

An accident in the clearing stages in walnut creek. Southbound 680 near south main. We are seeing several spinout accidents with cars hydroplaning because of the very slick roads this morning. And deep standing water reported in many areas. Chp is warning of this flooding along northbound 880 approaching broadway in the outside lanes. And you can see we now have a little bit of slow traffic. The red taillights youre looking at would be northbound 880 approaching high street where we are now looking at backups more folks also out there in that southbound direction. And over at the bay bridge toll plaza, we havent had any major problems no accidents. Lots of folks are out there with those metering lights on traffic backed up beyond the 880 overcrossing with a 20 minute drive time between the carquinez bridge and the maze. Meantime, we have been talking about the icy roads out there. Ill have pictures for you in just a moment from the el cerrito Police Department. But they are warning a very slick and icy condition in the area especially along san pablo avenue. So give yourself some extra time to get into work or school as you head out this morning. You can see from these live pictures that i80 so far rolls well between 580 and the maze. Thats a look at kcbs traffic. Heres roberta. How much rain has fallen this morning .
