Even though the clouds are coming in, technically not quite as cold as yesterday morning. 50 right now in San Francisco. Into san jose, its 45 degrees, the cooler temperatures, though, were finding right now, upper 30s to low 40s and during the afternoon today, as clouds thicken up later on, its going to be a mostly cloudy day, San Francisco into the north bay, low 60s around san jose, then as we go through the afternoon, those increasing clouds after 7 00 tonight, i think, especially for the north bay will lead to a chance of a few showers. Last weekend, we had a storm that dropped one to two inches of rain in the north bay. Thats not going to be the case this weekend. A lot of clouds, but this system is weakening on approach but it is bringing in some cold air, which is good news if you want to see a boost to the sierra snow pack later tonight. Full look at the details on how much were expecting coming up in about 15 minutes. And i want to know where we might see that rain tonight, because it might affect my plans tonight. Well get you covered. Thanks. We begin right now with breaking news this morning. Two people are dead following a big rig crash near the bay bridge toll plaza. This is a live look at the standstill traffic on westbound i80. This, of course, is the oakland side of the bridge headed toward San Francisco. The california Highway Patrol has issued a sig alert and northbound 880 to westbound 80 has been closed. The crash was reported just after 5 00 this morning. Its not known when those lanes will be reopened. We, of course, will bring you the latest as we get it. Overnight, the Senate Passed the republicanbacked tax reform bill following a marathon day of debate. The vote came down along party lines with just one republican, senator bob corker of tennessee, voting against it. Republican lawmakers wrote the majority of the overhaul behind closed doors and made lastminute changes to the bill. Democratic senators say they didnt even get to read the bill before last nights vote. Republicans call the bill a victory for the middle class. Democrats say it gives far too much to the wealthy and corporations. This is a great day for the country. Its been 31 years since weve done comprehensive tax reform. We have an opportunity to make america more competitive, to keep jobs from being shipped offshore, and provide substantial relief to the middle class. Millions of americans must be watching in stunned disbelief tonight as the Republican Senate betrays the middle class for the benefit of faithless multinational corporations. President trump says he wants the bill on his desk to sign by christmas, but time for that is running short. After making it through the senate, the bill still has to be merged with the house version, and there are still big differences between the two. Well, he is no longer at stanford, and hes already served his time behind bars, but now brock turner may be headed back to court. Turners legal team is appealing his conviction. He, of course, is the former stanford swimmer convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman behind a dumpster outside a Campus Fraternity party in 2015. The victims statement about her experience drew national attention. The turners lawyers say he was deprived of due process and that the media spread lies. Nothing happened behind a dumpster. There was no rape. And mr. Turner did not find an unconscious woman and assault her. Once people start to begin to understand that the true facts of this case dont reflect any of those things occurring, theyll start to understand why this appeal is so important. The Santa Clara CountyDistrict Attorney says turner did receive a fair trial and was justly convicted. Turner was sentenced to six months in prison, a penalty well below the mandatory minimum. He was released after serving just three months in county jail. People are angry over that short jail sentence by judge aaron persky and they have been working to recall him. Yesterday, an Appeals Court denied the judges request to block recall proponents from collecting signatures to put the matter on the june ballot. Recall organizers say they will have no problem reaching the 90,000 signature goal. In the east bay, 300 feet of shore line collapses into the oakland estuary, taking down a pier with it. This all happened around 4 30 yesterday afternoon. Fire crews responded to the area. Its just adjacent to mixed use live work units that are under construction.

It doesnt appear to be a huge environmental hazard. Signature Development Group has had contractors on site that are doing their best to contain any debris. No one was hurt, but a boom has been placed around the affected area just in case anything hazardous leaks. The ghost ship fire exactly one year later.

Youll likely want to head across the san mateo bridge if youre trying to go west. The bay bridge is currently at a standstill following a double fatality crash. Acquitted on thursday but now more legal trouble for Jose Inez Garcia. A criminal warrant for the undocumented immigrants arrest has been unsealed. The warrant is from a judge in texas and was issued right after zarates arrest for the killing of kate steinle. It finds him in violation of parole supervision and demands compliance even for sanctuary cities like San Francisco. The San FranciscoSheriffs Department says it will notify the u. S. Marshall once zarate is eligible for release. He could soon face federal charges and prison time. I think its important for the u. S. Attorney general to evaluate the, you know, potential federal violations, and we recognize that would probably occur. Social media has been buzzing about the verdict. President trump weighed in on twitter saying, the Kate Steinle Killer came back and back over the weakly protected obama border, always committing crimes and being violent, and yet this info was not used in court.

Over to San Francisco, closer to the water, not quite as cold. 50 degrees. The relative warmth youre seeing this morning compared to places like san rafael where its 37 degrees. Overcast skies right now and as we go through the afternoon, mostly cloudy skies and temperatures staying somewhat cool. Upper 50s from the coast. San francisco into santa rosa, napa, low 60s elsewhere and to the south bay and the trivalley this afternoon. Now, those clouds will eventually thicken up after sundown tonight so no worries really about any showers until maybe 8 00 or 9 00 out here around marin county and sonoma county. Unlike last weekend, this is going to be a brief window from 9 00 to about 2 00 a. M. , crossing over the bay area, weakening as it zips by san jose there and then clearing skies by tomorrow morning. As we wake up tomorrow morning, no more signs of showers and a mostly sunny finish to the weekend. So, timing on this, well see mostly cloudy conditions through the day which will help keep our daytime temperatures down but after 7 00 tonight, we see the chance of showers.

Temperatures cooling from todays highs in the low 50s. Head up to lake tahoe, highs will be in the 30s sunday on into monday. Our forecast, unfortunately, is taking a much dryer turn once we pass the system thats coming in for tonight. Notice monday and tuesday, High Pressure strengthens, breezy, dry conditions in the hills. In fact, if we forward the future cast all the way out to next sunday, now were talking december 10th, we see how the storms just cant get through that ridge of High Pressure. Instead, theyre going to drop down into the east coast so the sevenday forecast does look dry for this time of year. Next few days, not much change. Today, very likely the most cloudy of the nenxt seven days. Early tomorrow, skies clear and then breezy and dry conditions that will help to keep our morning temperatures up maybe from monday morning but once those winds back off and we get the clear, dry air settling in, may get patchy frost. Very dry. May not have a lot of moisture in the air but this will set us up for a set of chilly mornings and warmer afternoons. A tenday forecast at this point looks very dry for this time of year.
