Across the bridge heading towards the toll plaza. The alternates are still looking okay. It is a friday morning. We are looking at lighter traffic out there westbound traffic at the san mateo bridge still flowing well thats a good alternative. A longer one would be the Richmond Bridge over to the golden gate but there are no brake lights so far for 580 across the Richmond Bridge. Southbound 101 heading through marin county is flowing well. Bart which would be the best alternate is operating with no delays on the system. Well keep an eye on bart and let you know when chp makes more progress in reopening the lanes on the bridge. Frank. Lets check with anne makovec now. She joins us live from the fremont street offramp with more on this breaking news. Reporter this is where all the traffic from the westbound bay bridge is being diverted. Its slow behind me here at the folsom fremont street exit. Own one lane is going across the bridge. The only one lane is going across the bridge. The backup is still on the bridge. Lets look from chopper 5 this morning. You can see a huge backup and then that spill massive amount of materials apparently some sort of drywall material. Originally the chp thought it was paint. But crews are still working to clean this up. Its taking them an hour and a half to get across the bay bridge right now. A real mess with four out of five lanes on the upper deck close the right now. For a time, the harrison street offramp was open. That has since been closed. Again, so your only option is to get off here at the Fremont Folsom street split. Lets take a look at a picture we tweeted from the chp showing officers diverting traffic off the bridge. This is part of the spill in that massive backup. To give you a little perspective, another image from the chp from Yerba Buena Island. Everything is at a standstill on the upper deck. The best bet is to take public transit. Dont try to get not city from the bay bridge. Earlier dont try to get into the city from the bay bridge. We took the Golden Gate Bridge to get here. Thats going to be backed up through the morning commute. This closure is expected to be in place until about 6 30 this morning. Live in San Francisco, anne makevoc, kpix 5. The commute is a mess this morning and a new report confirms that bay area Traffic Congestion is getting worse as the region adds more jobs. Kiet do is in milpitas with more on the worst commutes with a new stretch of highway in the top so. Reporter live here at the second worst commute in the bay area. That is 880 in the morning in between san leandro and milpitas. If you have been on this stretch just horrible. But it gets worse. The absolute worst commute in the bay area is i80 westbound from hercules into the bay bridge. Traffic experts have calculated that it is delaying drivers there 9,000 hours every day. They got that number in part by counting the number of cars that start to slow down between below 35 miles an hour. So heres the rest of the list. Third worst is in the evening 101 southbound from fair oaks in sunnyvale to oakland road in san jose. The fourth worst is going back eastbound over the bay bridge in the evening. Now, using gps, cell phone tagging and road sensors they have calculated congestion has increased 3 in 2014 the latest data and, in fact, congestion has increased 40 since 2010 when the Great Recession was at its lowest point. Its bound to get worse because we are ating 2100 jobs a we because the region is adding 2100 jobs a month. So contra costa and santa clara counties are planning to put sales tax hikes on the ballot next year to fund more construction projects. Also, improving bart, caltrain and adding more cameras, sensors an metering lights and toll and metering lights lights and toll lanes will help out, as well. We want to mention one commute that went from 18th to the 10th worst going from East San Jose 101 northbound from story road all the way to montague expressway. Congratulations to East San Jose. You guys did it. So proud of you. Live in milpitas, kiet do, kpix 5. The Highway Patrol is investigating the latest shooting on interstate 80 in the east bay. The fourth since early november. It happened yesterday afternoon on westbound 80 at the San Pablo Dam road exit. Detectives say someone in a sedan pulled up alongside a ford escape and started shooting. A victim made it to a dennys restaurant. A waitress said he had an arm wound and was losing a lot of blood. Trying to be there for him because if it happened to us, you want someone to be there for you in those moments. Paramedics came in and took the 30yearold richmond man to a nearby hospital. Investigator say there was a second person in the suv with the victim. But that person ran away. They are not sure if this is connected to three other shootings along the same stretch of the i80 last month. 6 06. A fremont man is accused of trying to join a terrorist group in syria. 22yearold adam shaffi was stopped in june arrested a couple of days later. Yesterday he was arraigned for providing Material Support or resources to a designated terrorist organization. He allegedly intended to go from istanbul to syria to join a branch of al qaeda operating in syria. The surveillance revealed that he had, um, training in paramilitary operations. Former fbi agent says it appears the feds started watching him closely after a trip he took to egypt and turkey in 2014 allegedly making comments about killing americans. Security is increased in San FranciscoUnified School District after a threat of violence was emailed to staff members. The emails were received wednesday night or early yesterday morning. The district says it notified San Francisco police and the fbi and issued a statement to the students parents. Someone claiming to have been a student in the district that was bullied and how they have turned to religion and because of that they are going to come and shoot up the schools in the district, thats the not any particular school defined. Schools were open because the threat was not credible. As a precaution, all schools were inspected but nothing was found. Its not clear if this is connected to this weeks threats against los angeles unified and other u. S. School districts. I do like rain and many of us do. Youre going to love Brian Hackney because he is full of rain today. Lets not go better than being full of beans, i would say. There you go. We hope were not because the rain should be heading south over the bay area later today. Fairly light rain to start out with in the north bay and then it pushes into the south bay. We all get wet by the evening commute tonight. Numbers this morning a little chilly. Lets revisit the topic of the day. Its temperatures in the 40s and numbers in the low 50s, as well. As we start things out, look at the approach to the bay bridge. Livermore 37 at the moment. Hidef doppler showing the rain now concentrated up around cape mendocino.

The man who bought two assault rifles used in that San Bernardino terror attack facing some serious charges. Fbi arrested Enrique Marquez yesterday. He is charged with unlawful purchase of a weapon. Investigators say he had no knowledge of the attack but they say he bought the weapons years ago because, quote, his appearance was caucasian while the gunman and friend said farook look middle eastern. Marquez is accused of plotting other attacks with farook that were not carried out. Today president obama will travel to San Bernardino to meet with the family members of some of the victims and before leaving washington and he will hold an end of the year News Conference. He will likely get questions about what the u. S. Is doing to keep americans safe. Yesterday, mr.

Westbound 80 just beyond fremont street at this point its just one lane of traffic shut down. Four lanes are shut down west 80 near fremont street including the harrison street exit located on the left side of the bridge. Be prepared for very long delays. Its taking folks over an hour and a half out of oakland into San Francisco. The toll plaza is a mess, as well. An update from the chp, it wont be cleared up until 7 30 or 8 a. M. So continue to use alternates. Ill give you information on some of the alternates with kcbs traffic. Thieves in Half Moon Bay took Christmas Gifts meant for those in need. Last thursday someone broke into a storage locker behind a church and took 2,000 in donations part of a program run by the st. Vincent de paul society in which families place paper ornaments on a tree in the church with the requests. Now the organization is determined is that the families will not go without. Were going to try to recover so on Christmas Morning they have a present. We dont know it was, why. We just know the presents are gone. Word is circulating of the theft and people are already stepping forward to help out at our lady of the pillar catholic church. After tragedy at ucSan Francisco the Medical Center has suspended its Living Donor Program for kidney transplants. A patient died back in november. The transplant was successful for the recipient but the donor died after the operation. Its still unclear why. In a statement, ucSan Francisco health said the safety and wellbeing of our patients is our top priority and every effort is being made to understand what happened. We are deeply saddened by this tragedy. It is 6 16. Let check in with liza. The bay bridge is a mess. Its a huge mess. Its a parking lot across the bridge heading into the city. Thats where were going to begin. The chp, cam transhave been working to clean up this spill. Its some type of drywall compound that was spilled across lanes of traffic. You can see it looks like they are pouring down some absorbent material right now. Only one lane is getting by westbound 80 off the bridge near fremont street. So with those multiple lanes shut down we have had traffic backed up solid across the bridge to the toll plaza. They expect to have this out there until at least 7 30 or 8 00 this morning. Drive times between oakland and San Francisco are 1 hour and 40 minutes. So just a huge mess. Avoid the bay bridge. Go to the san mateo bridge instead of waiting in the backups at the bay bridge toll plaza. Bridge crews started cycling the metering lights slowly to keep the backups off the bridge and now we are seeing backups on the san mateo bridge as folks avoid the bay bridge and they are sitting in backups all the way across the span towards foster city. Another alternate would be to take it the Richmond Bridge over to the golden gate. Now it is longer for you in terms of mileage but at least youre moving. Our sensors say 580 is flowing well. Bart also a big alternate sitting in some of those backups and they have had a great morning still no delays for the bart system. Well hope for a very nice commute for the bart system. No delays for the ferries, caltrain or the altamont commuter express. We should mention that muni is expecting possible delays because of the mess at fremont street near the fremont street exit detouring some bus lines. Busy in the weather department. The numbers to start out friday morning, san bruno has 47 degrees. San jose 42 degrees. All the rain up north for now but a cold front developing will push south over the bay area first in the north bay this morning and the rest of the bay area later tonight. Snow in the mountains. Winter storm warnings posted heaviest between 4 p. M. And 10 a. M. Snow above 5500 feet. About the evening commute you can see showers in the bay area. 5 00 it will start to move out. Lingering showers through tomorrow morning means a little chance of rain on saturday but also a bit of a break. Next five days a lot of rain up north, more than 5. But around the bay area between now and tuesday, about an inch of rain. So it will be onagain, off again but not a deluge. Temperatures today near 60 degrees. 59 for San Francisco. 60 in oakland. 60 at livermore. 61 in san jose. In the extended forecast, we are going to be looking for things to turn wet today as the cold front presses south. The numbers will be near 60 degrees all the way through the rest of the week. Saturday a few lingering showers. Sunday we get wet again. We get wet on monday. Tuesday and wednesday a break. The indications are a juicier system comes in by thursday. Well track that. In the meantime expect to get wet. Mr. Mallicoat . Thank you, brian. You dont need me to tell you this but weddings arent cheap. But one startup is offering to pay for them.

Now he is under arrest for a ponzi scheme. A spill has most of the bay bridge westbound closed right now. Im anne makovec live in San Francisco. With some of your options and images of the messy morning commute. And were looking at one hour and 40minute delays getting into San Francisco. Well have information on alternates and when the chp expects to clear up lanes. And in the middle of all of it, we have rain on the way for the bay area later in the day today and more ahead for the weekend. Well have all the details but first lets say good morning to frank and michelle. Good morning, brian. It is friday, december 18. Im michelle griego. Hi, everyone. Im frank mallicoat. Good morning. Time now is 6 30. And lets kick it over to liza for the messy commute. We are getting new information on this problem we have been reporting to you. It happened at 3 50 this morning. First reported as a paint spill and then chp, caltrans, got on scene. They tell us some type of a try wall compound that was spilled across multiple lanes of west 80. At this point it is just the right lane that is open right now for westbound 80 approaching fremont street in San Francisco. We have had long delays since then backed up across the bay bridge. You are looking at the logjam now at the macarthur maze in oakland. A lot of folks didnt get worth in time. Now they are stuck in the traffic. Im sorry. Thats the bay bridge toll plaza. They are sitting in those delays again one hour and 40 minute delays leaving oakland getting into the city. Now, i want to talk about some of your alternates. You can certainly take 880 over to the san mateo bridge. The san mateo bridge is the in good shape. There is more traffic there for westbound 92. And looks like that traffic is extremely slow just on the span itself. 880 is still rolling well through oakland and hayward heading for the san mateo bridge. But it is certainly having a big impact. Also on local transit. Muni is now saying that the bus lines that normally run in the fremont street area are rerouting because of the bay bridge traffic thats now being dumped on fremont street. This is what the detour looks like for folks who need to get off the bay bridge. They are getting off at fremont right now. You have to take howard down about 4 blocks and then get on westbound 80 from 4th and harrison but now south of market area certainly in gridlock. Theres lots of construction and lanes shut down in the area, as well. Just a huge mess. Take bart if you can. They expect this mess to be out there until at least 8 a. M. We also have problems on the sunol grade with a sig alert. Ill have details on that with my next traffic report. A good day to stay home. Lets get out to anne makovec, who is on fremont street where thousands of commuters are now being diverted off the upper deck. Anne. Reporter it is heavily drizzling outside so thats not going to help matters at all when it comes to traffic. This is one of two options when you get to the point which will take an hour and 40 minutes from oakland. This is the folsom fremont street exit of the bay bridge. This is where most of the traffic is being diverted from the bay bridge. Harrison street, that ramp is also open right now that off ramp. So that is another option. But check out the images from chopper 5. This is the huge mess that has been left on westbound 80. It has blocked a lot of lanes with drywall material apparently spilling at about 4 a. M. Some of it got on some cars. Its a mess that crews are working to clean up. And they are going to be at it for at least another hour. Take a look at some of the pictures of the chp this morning. They tweeted these out trying to divert traffic off of the bridge. You can see the bridge going from 5 lanes all the way down to 1 lane. So officers certainly have their work cut out for them as they try to get the traffic to the righthand side. These are all the people who didnt get the message, maybe didnt watch local news in the morning. So luckily thats not you. Check out the scene though of the bums from Yerba Buena Island this morning. Traffic just at a standstill there on the upper deck. So this is going to go on until about 7 30 or 8 a. M. So a real nightmare commute. Do not come into the city via the bay bridge. Golden gate bridge an alternate. But thats starting to get backed up, as well. Right now live in San Francisco, anne makevoc, kpix 5. And even without a mess like that, bay area traffic is bad and its getting worse. Now theres a new report to confirm it. Kpix 5s kiet do joins us live from milpitas with more including a stretch of highway new to the worst ten list. Kiet. Reporter yes. Good morning, we were trying to pick a live location for this report this morning and and came to the sad realization that there are a lot of locations to choose from. So we ended up on the second worst commute and thats 880 southbound between san leandro and milpitas. Thats the second worst. And if you have been on it you know it is horrendous but the top spot goes to, thats it, 880 im sorry, i80 westbound from hercules into the bay bridge. Traffic experts have calculated that it is delaying drivers there 9,000 hours every day. They got that number in part by counting the number of cars that start to slow down between below 35 miles an hour. So heres the rest of the list. Third worst is in the evening 101 southbound from fair oaks in sunnyvale to oakland road in san jose. The fourth worst is going back eastbound over the bay bridge in the evening. Now, using gps, cell phone tagging and road sensors they have calculated congestion has increased 3 in 2014 the latest data and, in fact, congestion has increased 40 since 2010 when the Great Recession was at its lowest point. Its bound to get worse because we are ating 2100 jobs a we are adding 2100 jobs a month. So contra costa and santa clara counties are planning to put sales tax hikes on the ballot next year to fund more construction projects. Also, improving bart, caltrain and adding more cameras, sensors an metering lights and toll and metering lights lights and toll lanes will help out, as well. We want to mention one commute that went from 18th to the 10th worst going from East San Jose 101 northbound from story road all the way to montague expressway. Kiet do, kpix 5. Highway patrol investigating the latest shooting on interstate 80 in the east bay. The fourth since early november. It happened yesterday afternoon on westbound 80 at the San Pablo Dam road exit. Someone in a sedan shot into a ford escape. A 30yearold man had an arm wound. Investigators arent sure if its connected to three other shootings on the aim stretch of 80 the same stretch of 80 last month. Opponents of the Warriors Arena are suing to block it. Ucsf which has a Medical Center nearby has signed off on the project but a lawsuit says the ucsf chancellor overstepped his authority by signing a memorandum of support. It says i unlawfully tied of hands of the he up lawfully tied of the hands of. University of california without approval of the board of regents. The project got a key vote of support this month from the citys board of supervisors. Mourners said goodbye to mario woods yesterday, the man killed by San Francisco police. Hundreds gathered at the Cornerstone Church in the bayview. On december 2, officers confronted woods as he held a kitchen knife. The shooting sparked conversation among city leaders about police tools and tactics. Some are placing the incident in a national context. The Police Violence against communities of the colors sets a backdrop for whats happened here. Police say woods had stabbed somebody earlier that day still had the knife in his hand and refused to drop it. But there is doubt about the Police Version of events and whether or not woods actually posed a threat. From fires to landslides, concerns are growing that the burnt areas in middletown and lake counties could be vulnerable as winter rains hit northern california. For example, people on Cobb Mountain an area burned by the valley fire are watching the ground. They are especially concerned about the potential for erosion or landslides. The last rain all this road just came down here and it ran through here and a car was parked in the gravel here and all of a sudden it was in four inches of mud. Relative scale i think there are some pretty risky areas but thats no guarantee that they are going to fail and it does depend a lot on the weather and how quickly plants regrow and things like that. When a wildfire burns, it seals the top layer of soil and water runs right off. And theres not much soil or foliage to hold the ground in place. At the same time, federal and state agencies are helping homeowners recover from the furious fire season. The california governors office, fema and the Small Business administration are pulling together 30 million for survivors of the butte fire and valley fire. Brace yourself because a little more rain is coming i guess, like five or six of it in the next seven days . Looks like they seem to be getting wet in the next few days. Okay. Michelle is welcoming that because she wont have to water her lawn. Mother nature will do it for her in the next five to seven days. And its going to get wet later in the day today. Temperatures this morning are pretty much on the chilly side as we overlook san jose. Its 42 degrees there. 48 for santa rosa. In livermore, 38 degrees right now. Here comes another one. A cold front on the way from the Pacific Northwest is going to lead to showers later in the day in the bay area with rain first in the north bay then spreading south over the rest of the bay. It will make a mess of the evening commute. The roads will be slick in time for everybody to head home today. The forecast highs are going to be about the same as lately, near 60 degrees and once it gets wet its going to stay that way. Rain saturday, sunday and monday. Well have another look at the forecast in a few minutes. First lets get the latest. He is known as the most hated ceo in america and this morning he is out on 5 million bail. Martin shkrelijacked up the price of a lifesaving drug about 5,000 but wasnt arrested for price gouging. Prosecutors say the ceo tricked investors into funding his personal debt.

The south San Francisco drugmaker, the south San Francisco company in Clinical Trials for leukemia. Facebook is subleasing three buildings on jefferson drive in menlo park from intuit.

And one of those is with big cargo jets. The Seattle Times reports that the company is looking to lease up to 20 boeing 767s and another report says that amazon may simply buy those plane outright. Online shopping has been increasing by a large amount every, single year and we are seeing bigger delays with packages and thats affecting amazon.

Dow down 130. Nasdaq down 18. S p down 12 points. Running out of time for a santa claus rally. Frank and michelle, back to you. Got a short week next week. Okay, have a great weekend. Some parents may keep their kindergarten student out of class today because School Officials canceled the annual field trip to meet santa claus. Its all because one parent who is jewish complained about the tradition at Sartorette School in san jose. Other parents are upset because they were not consulted before the decision was mated. This approach by our district of asking for forgiveness after a decision affecting so many of our kids is unacceptable, and parents have a right to be angry. The cambrian School District says its reviewing its policies to represent all students beliefs and cultures. A story today is the commute and its all about drywall compound. That is up on the bay bridge. Were learning a lot about this Construction Material this morning. We are getting word from the chp that all lanes are open. The cleanup has just been completed again Fresh Information from the chp all five lanes of westbound 80 now open for commuters coming off of the bay bridge towards San Francisco. As we go to live pictures from chopper 5, its been giving us these views of the terrible traffic situation for westbound 80 which will be even though all lanes are open its going to be backed up for a few hours still for the drive out of oakland. In fact, our sensors are picking up twohour and 20 minute drive times for west 80 between University Avenue in berkeley and fremont street in San Francisco. So just gives you an idea of how bad the traffic scene is for this westbound commute. A fenderbender now at the bay bridge toll plaza, as well. The san mateo bridge as a result as folks avoid the bay bridge is now very crowded. Westbound traffic is now jammed up from end to end and we are now looking at delays for southbound 880 between oakland and hayward. So certainly the mess at the bay bridge is affecting other commutes this morning. We have a sig alert in place for the sunol grade, as well. Southbound 680 approaching south mission we have the left lane shut down and traffic is backed up for a couple of miles approaching the scene. So thats going to be a hot spot for you, as well. Now, bart has been doing a great job of getting people around the traffic delays. They are on schedule this morning. But because of the earlier mess that we had at the bay bridge and fremont street there are delays on muni as a lot of those drivers are being forced to reroute around a lot of that traffic now thats being dumped on the fremont street area.
