>> reporter: maya love insisting the president apologize. >> what do you have to do, spray paint the "n" word in the oval office to be a racist? >> reflects not just a particular attitude of the president, but reflects an attitude that is a growing one among a significant number of white americans with a concern about the brown of this country. >> reporter: it comes amid negotiations to protect 800,000 immigrants losing status in march. >> we are so close. i hope this doesn't get us off track. >> reporter: the president's tweets criticizing a surveillance program as lawmakers were about to renew it. >> the president is supporting the bill. >> the bill is passed. >> reporter: there trump tweeted a correction and blames the media. clarifying surveillance with immigration up in the air. now, lawmakers said they were close to a deal. this morning, the president tweeting he called that deal outlandish and didn't include enough money for his wall. back to you. >> thank you. search teams will continue their efforts to find more victims of the deadly montecito mudslide. the hopes of finding anyone alive are growing more slim. authorities say 17 people are confirmed dead. the number missing is at 43. it's gone up and down wildly with authorities believing the final number of dead will not be near that number. meanwhile, the number of homes destroyed was lowered to 64, but the number of homes damaged is up to 446. a final plan to identify places most at risk of wildfires has been put on hold. that's the word from the press democrat. the utilities commission already had the map put together. it was due sunday. the regulators want more feedback. now, they have until july. it will help electric companies identify high-risk companies. they will have higher standards maintaining equipment. lawsuits alleged neglected power equipment ignited the wildfires. keeping mayor ed lee's alive. this was the first meeting about that park since lee passed away from a heart attack. acting mayor announced plans to begin the process of renaming the park in lee's honor. a lot of folks in the community support the idea. >> this is exactly how our park should be used by the people who live in these communities. they depend on this place. this is their social, this is their living room. this is like coming together. >> portsmouth square is often called chinatown's living room. mayor lee held a lot of events there. if it goes forward, the recreation and parks department has to approve the name change. looking for something to do this weekend?

>> this is at least the fourth recent incident at sfo. last july, an air canada plane almost landed on a taxiway where planes were sitting. they repeatedly ignored a go around and landing the plane anyway. tuesday, aeromexico airplane almost landed on the wrong runway, then performed a go around. it's friday. a lot of people will get paid today. >> you might notice that change in that paycheck. if not today, very soon. >> very soon. hr departments all over the united states have gotten that new tax bracket information showing them how much tax to with hold from you in 2018. this comes, of course, after that huge tax law passed before christmas. it's in effect already, but up to now, employers were not sure how much money to with hold. expect to see that over the next few weeks. facebook is changing, too. more information from your friends, less information from news agencies like ours, more personal. in a facebook posting, zuckerberg said posts from businesses, brands and media are crowding out the personal moment. he warned investors with less to read and fewer videos to watch, people may spend less time on facebook. expect facebook shares to suffer on that warning. san francisco banks wells fargo report today. the dow as nasdaq open at records today. david letterman opened a new show on netflix. now, he did introduce the first guest. >> good to see ya. >> good to see you. >> how are you?

"paddington bear" returns. it's a follow up from the classic children's book. he is looking for a gift but doesn't have enough money, so he gets a job. that may leave him washed up. it's rated pg. >> it's british. a rough ride in "the commuter." he is a regular guy that gets an offer he can't refuse, finding the identity of a passenger that doesn't belong on the train and get a lot of money in return. doing so means everyone on board dies. that's a tough one. i know what i would do. this is pg-13. >> thank goodness. >> i'm going to have a hard time going to the movie theater this weekend because it's going to be so nice. the weather is going to be beautiful around the bay area. we brag to friends and family living elsewhere. temperatures this morning are on the cool side. here is a

livermore. napa, visibility at .75 mile. you can't see that far ahead of your headlights. you need to give extra spacing and also make sure you slow down. if you are sticking to those new year's

festivities around the bay area. we will have rain moving in on tuesday. dry on wednesday, then another stronger storm system set to move in on thursday into friday. as we get an early look at how much rain we could see because it's been so dry here, here is a look at one of the computer model runs from santa rosa where we could get up to two inches of rain and most of us getting a half to 1.75 inch of rain once the systems move through. i'll keep you up to date on it. in the near term, it is going to be a beautiful weekend, highs low to mid-60s in san francisco and 70 for the inland valleys. that rain moves in late monday into tuesday. as of now, looks like wednesday is dry. thursday, a soaker. fog is the biggest factor for your commute. >> that's right, kari. the friday commute has a lighter volume of traffic. we can see that here. we can also see a glow of the lights all around the university area. low clouds definitely drifting through as we look at the map. it doesn't show in this area, but farther north, dense fog reported. there was an earlier crash and slowing. here, 101 and 92 where they converge, an earlier crash and traffic break cleared from the roadway. it
