penalties for retailers who with sell to the wrong people. also changing the minimum age for people to sell vaping products or e-cigarettes to the minimum age that it is to buy. this would strengthen the existing tobacco ordinance. now mean while this is a -- there is a slowdown in the rate of hospitalization among people who vape according to new numbers for the centers for disease control. as of january of this year, 60 people died as a result of vaping nationwide. nearly 2700 were hospitalized. that is across the nation as well. and that represents a slower rate than the peak that was

bridge we did have the backum forming before 5:00. we saw the fast track fill in quickly around 5:00 and the same time they turned on the metering lights. so early back-up. things coming into the area are fine throughout contra costa county but we'll watch to see if that is a part of a bigger commute this morning. so far the incident off of 84 is on the shoulder, no lanes blocked but a minor distraction. eastbound 237 a minor crash. no injuries and counter commute but flashing lights and it looks like they're distracting in the westbound direction. good news over here, the ice around

barack obama. youtube said it will also shut down accounts that try to hide their national origin like russia or iran or pretend to be people they aren't. this is a step youtube is taking that facebook has not taken. facebook is just sort of begin up on this. but i urge people to be just super cautious. there was a tweet that went around last night about one of the candidates that was accurate, that he was dropping out, from 2008. and people said oh, no. you got to look at dates, you got to look at who is sending these things. youtube and facebook can protect you to some degree. >>

algorithm imto access his tinder program and swipe right on 100 desirable women every day so the programmer took the technology one step further to train it to have basic conversations at one point talking to 200 people at once. to its credit tinder picked up on what was happening -- and bans him from the app. >> i wonder what he told the computer to say. >> just a basic conversation like no i asked what you had for lunch. >> instead of talking to the people that he might want to date you told his computer it had to talk to to see if they -- >> he's doo busy to date. interesting. to say the

strong in keeping those temperatures up. we'll see if those winds relax as we head toward sunrise but then through the day it is going to be a little bit warmer than yesterday. reaching the mid-50s in napa and 54 in livermore and 57 in san jose, san francisco heading up to 56 and 59 in oakland. so there is still a lot of rain going on for the pacific northwest. we've been missing that rain because of high pressure blocking us. but the climate prediction center put out the outlook from new through march and still saying it is going to be well below average rainfall for the bay area. and then as we look at how our temperatures will shape up for the next month, above average with a highlighting around the sierra showing well above average temperatures. that is not good. especially for the sierra snow pack and our water year. now we're looking at warming temperatures here so that is verifying. we're going to see some supper 60s for the inland areas by the end of the week. more sunshine for the weekend. and we should be in the upper 50s but you can see we're going to be above that through the next seven days. and mike, you're starting with a look in the south bay. >> that is right. an area with a thin sheet of ice. 101 at mckie and te put the stand down and that cleared and then slowing on the camera a few minutes later and that was possibly because of a crash that happened right in the same area. no reports of it being involved with the ice. it was on the other side of the freeway at the off-ramp but this one crash is now over on the shoulder and stick the out into lanes 101 at mckie but the sand is down and the traffic break stopped. 237, the update, it is not eastbound it is westbound around great america parkway and the slowing has cleared up and i do hear

know what democrat won the lates and we're going to see headlines like this like dumuines. last final we didn't get the results in the 10:00 a.m. the next day california time so if we got the results right now the caucus would have worked better now than in the past. the truth is caucus is a really old-fashioned and mess yeah way to conduct democracy but it is what iowa does. here is one young caucus-goer who showed up to support buttigieg but his caucus didn't have enough supporters to count and he would have to switch candidates. >> people just kind of have college kids that just want to get out of here and as we walk past this group over here and they're like you can join us even though we're not viable and you're just confused. so a couple of us joined yang for them to be viable but a lot of us just level. so i don't know if they are viable or not. >> so confusion reigns. it is viable but not liable. but good on him for participating. in washington, president trump getting ready for the state of union speech tonight at 6:00. then his impeachment trial should wrap up tomorrow. a key vote from lisa murkowski who now said she will vote not guilty. >> i can cannot vote to convict. the constitution provides more impeachment but does not demand it in all instances. an incremental first step to remind the president that as mona skew said, political virtue is a renunsiation of one self. >> and we could hope the president reflects on the french pill os fear from the enlightenment and some are saying to censure him and so that is condemn him and not remove him from the office. so that state of the union is tonight at 6:00 on nbc bay area news and our app as well. >> thanks, scott. it is 5:48 now. nearly everyone in the bay area watches the super bowl even with the painful ending but we're learning 102 million americans tuned in to see kansas city pull out the win. that is up from last year. and eagle eyed viewers may have spotted something different about the confetti. you have to have good eyes. they had writing on them. the nfl worked with twitter to make it rain tweets. if you had tweeted using the #nfltwitter your tweet might have been part of the celebration. and the celebrations in kansas city were so bright the fireworks could be seen on radar. this is a tweet from the national weather service. the radar speckled with bright lights. apparently the fireworks could be seen more than an hour's drive away from kansas city. so good for them. >> this is pretty cool. trending this morning. this video will put a smile on your face. he shoots and he scores as he runs right there. this is 5-year-olds reacting to sinking his first basket that went viral. that is dean the machine. he managed to score and let everyone know about it. take a look at it again. woosh. and he takes a run for it. go for it dean. i think we should say, steph, watch out. >> i love seeing that excitement but b -- but be careful, he's setting precedent for every time he scores. >> my son did that but he scored in the wrong goal. >> a score is a score when you're young. >> he's all happy and like what? what happened? >> that's cute. >> all right. so it is a good day to head out and play basketball. not too hot this afternoon but it is very chilly this morning. we will see all of these areas shaded in purple still under the freeze warning up until about 9:00. now the seven-day forecast is right now coming up at the bottom of the screen. check it out as you make some plans and as you step out this morning, plan to have on a heavier jacket. but looking at these temperatures, 35 in santa rosa. it is 46 in concord. 39 in san jose. in fact, it was actually colder yesterday. right now the temperature change is about 12 degrees warmer compared to yesterday at this time. but we do still have that freeze warning in effect. the reason why we haven't seen temperatures getting that cold, well because we've seen some gusty winds. you felt that yesterday. especially in the north bay. coming through the delta, those winds are staying gusty right now. and it is keeping those temperatures from dropping down to below freezing for many spots. as we get a live look out there in san jose, and you're getting dressed this morning, we do still need something nice and warm to wear, even pants for today as our high temperatures reach into the upper 50s but this will be a few degrees warmer today compared to yesterday. now high pressure still building. it is keeping all of that rain from hoffi -- from moving into the bay area so over the next few days we are dry but then the same thing happens again this sunday where with where this area of low pressure drops inland, brings some colder air and makes it windy but still doesn't bring any rain. so our seven-day forecast is all dry. and our temperatures still fluctuating going up and down. so starting down. we see it rising as we head toward the end of the week, friday in the upper 60s and then coming back down as we start out the new workweek. mike you're seeing traffic bagging down out of oakland. we're watching for the subtle changes here. the metering lights were turned on just before 5:00. that is early. that is about 10 to 15 minutes earlier than our typical tuesday so we were concerned or i was concerned. we see a standard picture at this point. so things simmered down at the toll plaza. but the northbound 80 overcrossing and the extension off the merge there is a slowdown here. and that doesn't extend that far back at this time of the morning but i have also seen traffic start to speed up at toll plaza. i think they sped the metering lights up. so we may see some recovery. and look at the rest of the contra costa county and the maze and a smooth drive there.

right here sat home. will your vote count this year. >> that is one of the many questions or investigative team has discovered that two years ago in the general election some votes didn't count and they were thrown out. here is stephen stock. >> we've learned that a security feature meant to protect your provisional or mail-in ballot got thousands of votes across the state thrown out two years ago. now state law requires election officials to compare a voters signature on the back of their absentee or provisional ballot with a signature on the registration to make sure the -- the signatures match. if there is any doubt, it gets thrown out. and that means in san francisco, contra costa, and sacramento and l.a. >> a couple of reasons why some ballots may not be counted. among them somebody who forgot to sign the back of the envelope or the signature didn't match and in the past those ballots would immediately be discarded. >> now voters are supposed to be contacted and given the opportunity to correct any errors but several voters we spoke to who had voted thrown out say they were never given that chance. while the number of rejected ballots we reviewed make up less than 3% of the entire vote and would not swing gubernatorial or presidential election, and those same votes could make a difference for a city measure or local ordinance. coming up at 11:00, we explore had
