Beating over the last few weeks. Take a look at these waves. Seacliff state beach down in aptos. In just a few hours, crews will try to recover a car from Alameda Creek. Authorities believe they will also find the body of the 18 yearold driver inside the car. Kpix 5s jackie ward joins us live near the creek with an update on the search and recovery efforts. Jackie. Reporter the Recovery Process all depends on the water level of the Alameda Creek that looks like a river lately. When we were here yesterday, we couldnt even see these rocks towards the riverbank. So it has subsided significantly and thats good news for what local and county agencies want to get done today. Yesterday with the help of the drivers family and friends, search crews think they found the car that went into the water over the weekend. An 18yearold girl from tracy was on highway 84 saturday when she collided with a car traveling in the opposite direction sending her car into the water. With drones, authorities could see two tires sticking out of the swells. The water level was deemed too dangerous to send dive teams in yesterday but the Alameda County Water District thought it would lower to make the process of getting this car out of the water a little safer and a little easier. Still, that process could take several hours. Its going to start at 10 a. M. Chp is closing niles canyon road also highway 84 until further notice. Yesterday, they opened it back up for the evening commute. But today, that may not be the case depending on where they are in this Recovery Process. So drivers are asked to avoid this area if possible later today. In fremont, jackie ward, kpix 5. All right, thank you. Now, lets check weather with roberta. A little bit of a break there with jackie ward is in the fremont area. No rain this morning there. But our live hidef Doppler Radar still picking up plenty of precipitation due west of San Francisco. Also across the northern portion of our bay area. Just spilling out of the santa rosa area. Now taking a nosedive into petaluma on 101. A little snow at mount st. Helena. Right around sycamore avenue, some rain showers in that particular region. Lower Mark West Creek continues to overspill its banks. So we have the Flood Warning in effect until 7 30 this morning. Then hopefully well be picking up the pieces. Well be sweeping out the mud and well be taking care of business because some will be building into the bay area. Right now, low clouds, fog, stacked up next to the seashore. Mostly cloudy skies. Temperatures 37 in redwood city. We have a lot of cooler air filtering in with the cold front. 37 degrees in livermore, as well. Otherwise, its in the high 30s in san jose. So the front, the cold front, sliced through the bay area on sunday leaving in its wake a lot of instability and thats why were picking up a batch of energy off the coast that will continue to swing in during the Morning Hours. Once this passes, sunny skies, temperatures however on the cool side and then you toss in a wind up to 15 its going to feel raw so you need the scarf and overjacket and umbrella. East bay numbers low and mid 50s again a bit of a breeze late day. To the north partly cloudy skies into the 50s, as well. Far reaches of the north bay, 50 lakeport, 48 clearlake as an afternoon high. Sunshine, but one more shot of rain in the sevenday forecast. Well talk about that 18 after the hour but right now, heres a very busy roqui. You are right, roberta. Thank you. Okay, its 6 04. Good news mass transit is back on time. No bart delays to worry about. But the bad news is the Altamont Pass. So lets take a look at the traffic here. Look at that. Youre inching your way through across the entire way at just 4 Miles Per Hour and then 6 Miles Per Hour once you hit north flynn road and this is all because of some roadwork on westbound 580 after a pothole yesterday and theres still time to repair it. It may be repaired during this 6 00 hour. Otherwise avoid the Altamont Pass if you can or just wait this traffic out if you can. If you do have to go out that way, go ahead and take Patterson Pass road instead. There are other alternates but they are backed up, as well. Thats the best one for you right now. North tracy boulevard to the Altamont Pass will take you over two hours so again plenty of extra time on your morning commute this way. It frees up through livermore on to the dublin interchange where you will expect some slow traffic there. Heres the san mateo bridge from hayward to foster city, expect a normal commute of 15 minutes between 880 and 101. And if you are traveling through oakland, a little fyi here, eastbound 24 connector ramp to southbound 13 is closed after a pothole from yesterday. Now, we named this pothole steve according to the chp [chuckling] so roberta is laughing steve is going to be out there until noon today so well keep you posted on that and if you are traveling into downtown San Francisco expect 18 minutes between the maze and downtown. Ill send it to you. All right, roqui. Thank you. Today in San Francisco, several female politicians are working to make sure that Womens Health services dont suffer under President Trumps administration. Anne makovec is here with the details on the message they have for mr. Trump. They say they want to denounce President Trump at this point. The other to commit to protecting Womens Healthcare against future cuts that might come from the administration. As we saw with this weekends womens march, funding for Reproductive Healthcare is a major concern. Participants say their message is unequivocal they are just Getting Started thats were San Francisco supervisor hilary ronen and more than a dozen female elected leaders will introduce a new resolution today one that makes it clear that the federal government decides to cut the funding, San Francisco will pay for it. These are not mens choices. These are womens choices and we need access to healthcare and contraception and abortion in order to be able to live the life that we wanted to live. Reporter more than a Million People worldwide took to the streets the day after the inauguration in defense of womens rights. Thats not including figures from the main march in washington, dc. Supervisor ronen will announce it on the steps of city hall. Why are they announcing this resolution before cuts are made . Because the march was just mass therapy that it was more about emotions and expressions than accomplishments. Todays resolution throws some of the discipline of normal Party Politics behind the movement. That being said, this is San Francisco. Nothing really applies. Good point. Thank you. President trump meets with the ceos of gm, ford and chrysler at the white house today. The meeting comes just a day after the president pulled the u. S. Out of the transpacific partnership. The tpp is a Free Trade Agreement with the u. S. And 11 pacific rim countries. Republican senator john mccain called it a mistake. Bernie sanders praised the decision. Some california farmers and ranchers are worried about the impact. Much of our industry is exportbased so opening up these partnerships around the world are so critically important for us to be able to take our products to other places. One group in particular that could suffer, almond farmers. California produces about 83 of the worlds almonds. 80 of those are exported. Senate committees are expected to vote on four more of President Trumps cabinet picks today. Last night mike pompeo was sworn in as the new cia direct after being confirmed. Senator rand paul was the only republican to vote no. And there will not be a second confirmation hearing for education secretary nominee betsy devos. Democrats requested another hearing after they were cut off before a second round of questioning last week. Senator Lamar Alexander though leads the committee in charge of her confirmation rejected it says that she met with each Committee Member individually. The executives behind backpage. Com could face more charges. They are scheduled to appear in a sacramento courtroom today. Prosecutors compared the website to an online brothel. The allegations are that some of the victims on the site are children. The men who run the website are already facing charges of Money Laundering and pimping. Milpitas police are trying to track down these men seen entering a backyard on eagle ridge drive. The Surveillance Video from last wednesday shows one of the suspects holding what officers believe is a shotgun. Police also believe the suspects are behind a prowling incident earlier the same day in san jose. [ music ] new claims that the fire which killed dozens of party goers in oakland didnt start in the ghost ship warehouse.

Our live hidef Doppler Radar will show you where you need that umbrella today, but ill show you some sunshine. And the bay areas mostly off to a good start, but the Altamont Pass if you are heading that way, you are in trouble and ill tell you why when we come back. ,,,,,,,,,,, giving people options based on their budget is pretty edgy.

Families across the southeast are in mourning after deadly tornadoes ripped through the region over the weekend. At least 41 twisters touched down in southern states. At least 20 people were killed. Millions of people could have their tax refunds delayed this year. Its all because of a new law to try to cut down on fraud. The irs says it will give them more time to verify the returns. The delay will affect people who claim the earned income or additional child credits. The refunds will be held until after february 15. Oakland City Council Just passed an ordinance that would significantly increase the sum renters get when their building doesnt live up to code. It received support from several Community Groups and mayor libby schaaf. The measure follows the deadly ghost ship fire which killed 36 people in early december. The defense team for the buildings chief tenants has a new theory about the cause of the fire. The Group Representing derick ion almena says they have a reliable report that the fire started in an adjacent building. Derick ion almenas attorney claims the fire marshal couldnt conclude where the fire originated and their report should clear their client of charges. No conclusions about the fires origin has been reached, according to the fire marshal. Lets check traffic and weather. We are going to go to traffic first. [ laughter ] i do have good news for you. Well, sort of good news. I guess. The Altamont Pass is still extremely heavy conditions here. But the roadwork is done. They did complete it. It was in the 6 a. M. Hour.

Protecting Womens Healthcare, a resolution today inspired by the weekend marches. We are still monitoring rain in the bay area but im talking sunshine. Ill tell you when to expect it. And we have had miserable commutes across some parts of the bay area. More coming up. Good morning, its tuesday, january 4. Im kenny choi. Im michelle griego. Time now is 6 29. A few lingering showers in the bay area this morning, but the worst seems to be over. Taking a live look outside at a blurry Golden Gate Bridge, this is from vista point. You can see some cars stacking up there. The rest of the bay area roads are pretty slow. Governor jerry brown has declared a state of emergency to help with flood cleanup. Federal aid could help with repairs on the roads and highways. Along this two mile stretch in novato is closed officials hoping to open it by saturday. A little farther inland we saw some hail. This is what it look like in Half Moon Bay. As you can see, hail was bouncing off someones trampoline. Hail in Half Moon Bay [ laughter ] dont see that very often. I was sharing that picture with you yesterday and then again this morning, remember . It looked like snow in Half Moon Bay. We also had video out of redwood city from liza battalones and a picture from Richard Lewis an he had it look like snow at sfo. But it was hail. It had just accumulated there. I said, snow at sfo elevation 37 feet and 47 degrees . I dont think so. But it looked like. It looked like it in the sunshine. We do have some sunshine in the forecast later on this afternoon but first we still have some showers in the northern portion of our bay area according to our live hi def Doppler Radar. There you have it. When you have green on the screen, we have our radar up and operating and there you have the precipitation. It continues to drift in a southerly direction. Petaluma you know what im talking about, you had the rain it moved out. Oh, look it just moved out of the christie area. We had rain there, too. Central Sonoma County it continues to flood due to the lower Mark West Creek. And that warning is up until 7 30 this morning. High pressure is trying to nestle it. If you look very carefully, you can see a break in the clouds out there. Meanwhile, we have a deck of low clouds and fog stacked up next to the seashore. A lot of cool air in place. The end result is a cool morning. No reports of any local airport delays. Again, we do have the center of the core of the center of the area of low pressure from that front that sliced through the bay area on sunday, it is now out of here. But the core continues to just rotate off the coast. Thats why we have a lot of instability. Thats why we have the morning showers. But that will move out. The sunshine will build in. Temperatures today pretty uniform. Low and mid50s across the board from the coast to our inland areas. North bay stacking up at 50 in stinson beach. So even though we will have some sunshine, partly cloudy conditions this afternoon, it will feel downright raw at times when you toss in the wind up to 15 Miles Per Hour. 48 degrees, thats a high in clearlake. So we have a string of sunshiny days to come except for one notable interruption. Well have that sevenday forecast coming up. But right now, we are going to send it to the woman who names her own potholes. No, no, no, roberta. You named my pothole [ laughter ] not me. And chp named the other one. But thats okay. So lets go ahead and start with the san leandro area. Westbound 580 connector to northbound 238 a stalled car causing delays but otherwise looking good in the area. So thats good news here but if you are taking 880 to the san mateo bridge thats slow between hayward and foster city. 880 to 101 will take you about 25 minutes or so. Moving over now to the major hot spot, miserable commute of the morning, all morning long, since yesterday theres a pothole out there. Its now repaired. Which is the good news within the 6 a. M. Hour but this residual backup is still here and youre moving at just 5 Miles Per Hour along the way. Once you hit north flynn road where the pothole was to about 25 Miles Per Hour so expect about over 2. 5 hours if you are heading to the Altamont Pass. You want to avoid it which i do suggest, go ahead and take Patterson Pass road instead or just wait it out if you can. Okay. Moving over now to the south bay hows it looking out there . 101 northbound is the only slowdown we have to worry about here. 280 680 split to highway 237 will take you about 14 minutes. Otherwise, youre looking good on 280 and 87 northbound. Mass transit another bright spot of the morning, all trains are on time. Ace on time. Muni and caltrain on time, as well. Thats your traffic. Ill send it to you. All right, roqui. Thank you. Later this morning, crews hope to recover a car from Alameda Creek. They also believe that the 18 yearold driver is still inside. Kpix 5s jackie ward is live near niles canyon road with details on the search this morning. Jackie . Reporter kenny, so the search and recovery teams who have been working along Alameda Creek for the past few days believe that part one is complete, finding the car in the water. Now today is all about getting that car out of the water. High water level prevented dives teams from going in yesterday. But the drone with the help of the driver family and friends led crews to believe they found the car that went into the creek on saturday morning. From chopper 5 we can see people on the bridge who knew the driver doing anything they could to find the car. You see the determination on their faces to find their daughter. Its very moving. Um, and that determination and that love for her is what helped find that car today, absolutely, literally throwing a rock out there and and hitting what appeared to be a car and, um, that allowed to us focus our attentions. Reporter the Sheriffs Office presumes the woman is still in her car. So the goal today is to try to recover the car and hopefully bring the teens family closure. The Recovery Process will take hours. Chp will be closing niles canyon road or highway 84 after the morning commute at 10 a. M. They are asking drivers to avoid the area if possible. In fremont, jackie ward, kpix 5. Are they saying anything about what may have caused the accident yet . They are trying to get the water out of the water but on highway 84 there have been a lot of mudslides, rockslides and, of course, rain. So that has made the roads slick and chp will be taking all of that into consideration during the investigation. Back to you. This just in. President trump will sign executive orders to move forward with a keystone and Dakota Access oil pipeline. Both had stalled under president obama under pressure from environmentalists. He will sign the orders in an hour and a half. Meanwhile, mr. Trump is not backing away from his allegations that millions of people illegally voted against him. Sources told cnn and the Associated Press that the president repeated his claim yesterday. Mr. Trump stated that the reason he lost the popular vote was due to as many as 5 million illegal votes. It happened during a bipartisan meeting with lawmakers. The president has not provided any evidence of his assertion. Today in San Francisco, several female politicians are calling out President Trump over Womens Health services. Anne makovec is here to spell out why they are taking this time to send him this message. Reporter well, for the first time in 22 years, there is a female majority on the San Francisco board of supervisors. So today, we are going to see some of them putting some teeth behind their concerns with the new resolution. As we saw with this weekends womens march, funding for Reproductive Healthcare has been a real rallying cry. Participants say they are just Getting Started. Thats why San Francisco supervisor hilary ronen and more than a dozen female elected leaders will introduce a resolution that makes it clear that the federal government decides to cut funding, San Francisco will pay for it. And what were saying with this resolution is we will do whatever it takes whether its finding new revenue sources, whether its using the general fund here in the city, to maintain our universal coverage for Womens Health services here in San Francisco. Reporter more than a Million People worldwide took to the streets the day after the inauguration in defense of womens rights and gender equity and thats not including figures from the main march in washington, dc. Supervisor ronen will announce the new resolution this morning on the steps of city hall. So anne, how are some of the participants trying to keep the momentum going from the weekend . Several ways. A lot of them trying to contact their congressional representatives. Others are getting involved with local causes they care about, volunteering or donating and theres a big push to get women involved in Political Office as those that already hold powerful positions try to do what they can to protect a Progressive Agenda like were seeing in San Francisco today. All right, anne, thank you. San Francisco Police are looking for the couple involved in a violent home invasion. It happened around 11 p. M. Friday not far from golden gate avenue and webster.
