48 degrees in San Francisco. Clouds sweeping out as they do we will have some sunshine, a dry day. Cool in the 50s. Good morning, roberta, good morning, everybody. South bay im talking to you. A lot of closures and flooding from yesterdays storm i need to elyou about. Starting with northbound 101, this is closed from cochran road in morgan hill to Bailey Avenue. We have an alternate for you so its a long one. Monterey highway nine miles north to bernauroad. Highway 101 is closed in both directions between that 286280 interchange. First your northbound alternate, take north 280 to north 87 to north 101 and for southbound, you take southbound 880 to southbound 280 and then to southbound 101.

Its crazy last night in a sitdown interview with Anderson Cooper House Minority leader nancy pelosi was asked what if it turns out there is no concrete conclusion in this investigation . Pelosi said its not damaging at all because she says democrats know theres plenty of connection but theres still the question of criminal violation.

President trump is expected to take his first foreign trip in may. He will travel to brussels for a nato mee
