Already . This is an early season Atmospheric River, and its having a bigger impact farther to the north. Some parts of the bay area is not seeing anything at all. Take a look at dublin and this live camera. You can see the headlights and not a drop of rain on that camera lens. But this is part of a very large storm system thats churning up some waves off the coast, producing a high amount of rain for areas farther to the north, as we take a look at northern california, seeing some decent downpours. And then this is what were seeing across the bay area. So not nearly as much. But we are going to see some wet activity this morning, with some light showers, and then the rest of the day is clearing out as our temperatures reach into the upper 70s and low 80s. Well talk more about that and whats ahead coming up. Whats going on with that crash on the bay bridge . On the span itself we have things moving a little better. Over here, the toll plaza tells a story. The hov lanes are moving very well. We do see movement in these other lanes, so thats an indicator that traffic, perhaps, has sped up for the metering lights as well. Theres focused activity right at treasure island. I believe theyve got the car over thats blocking the slow lane. Well continue to follow the activity across the span. We do see recovery after the first crash on the berkeley curve. We have a pretty standard build for the rest of the east bay. Contra costa county shows 4, westbound 80, westbound 37, typical slower spots, holding steady. Improvement for the trivalley, in the south bay we had a first burst. Its starting to ease up now. We have this crash just off of 680, very serious crash. Im going to hand it back to you. That is breaking news were following this morning. Word in the south bay of a deadly pedestrian accident. Today in the bays kris sanchez just arrived live at the scene, shes near alum rock avenue and interstate 680. I understand this victim was just found in the street . Reporter we dont know where the victim was found in particular, but we do know that the Police Officers who are investigating here at the scene, you see them in the distance, they have been taking measurements in the parking lot of the restaurant here on South Jackson avenue. They have also been taking measurements around that trash truck. You see that trash truck stopped in the parking lot. We suspect that perhaps that was the vehicle that hit the pedestrian because of the investigation thats happening around it. Now, the parking lot of that strip mall cordoned off and the investigation continues. This is South Jackson, just steps away from the alum rock intersection. This person was pronounced dead here at the scene, so did not survive. We do know the driver remained here at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation. Mike will tell you this morning that there is a bit of a traffic impact, though most of the investigation is happening in the parking lot. There is some crime scene tape along the roadway here. This is the 23rd pedestrian to die on the streets of san jose this year. It has been a very deadly year here in san jose, and this is not the first time that someone has died in this part of the South Jackson corridor. We checked with vision zero san jose, and there are traffic improvements that are planned for this corridor because it has been so dangerous, but they didnt happen soon enough for this particular person. Were asking about who that person might be, and how this accident might have happened. When we get those answers, well bring those to you. Kris sanchez, today in the bay. 6 04 right now. President biden arrives in the bay area for a twoday fundraising swing. His first planned stop is in atherton where hes expected to attend a fundraiser hosted by billionaire couple mark heising and liz simons. And yesterday nbc bay area caught some of the preparations there. Now, we did check online for those tickets for the fundraiser. They are going for 100,000 apiece, and we did check as well and weve noticed that it appears to be sold out. The president then plans to meet with advisers and attend a fundraiser in San Francisco tomorrow. Ahead of the president s visit, hes scheduled to meet with striking United Auto Workers in detroit where its possible that he will stop to visit an active picket line. Jay gray is live for us outside of one of the plants there in wayne, michigan. This would be extremely rare if the president decides to go to the picket line. This is rare for a sitting president , right . Reporter yeah, in fact, marcus, its never happened before, according to most historians. Theyve never known of a sitting president actually taking the picket line with Striking Union workers. You can see them behind us with the spitting rain this morning, they are still outside the gates of this ford plant in wayne, walking off the job. As were talking about, they could be a bit later today walking into history. [ crowd chanting ] reporter the picket line on day 11 of the strike is getting political. Yes, i always support the uaw. Reporter later today President Joe Biden expected to be the first sitting president to join Striking Union workers during a walkout, supporting a group of employees he says sacrificed pensions and paychecks to save the automakers a decade ago. I think the uaw gave up an incredible amount back when the industry was going under, and i think that now that is industry is roaring back, they should participate in the benefit. Reporter his trip to detroit comes a day ahead of the scheduled visit from former president and the current frontrunner for the 2024 republican nomination, donald trump, who continues to question the Biden White House commitment to electric vehicles. Electric cars are going to be made in china. The auto workers are not going to have any ill tell you what, the auto workers are being sold down the river by their leadership and their leadership should enforce trump. Yet to endorse a candidate, uaw president shawn fain has said another Trump Presidency would be a, quote, disaster. Of course the vote that both sides in this contract are concerned with, is a new contract, and right now they seem nowhere near a deal. Look, negotiations are continuing, they continued over the weekend and into the early part of this week. Union leaders are quick to say that they are willing and could call for thousands of additional workers to leave the production line and join the picket line if they cant come to some Common Ground soon. The president is trying to make a stance. All right, jay gray in michigan this morning, thank you. We have a live look at the capitol, where there is still hope for a deal to prevent a government shutdown. The clock is certainly ticking. If no deal is reached by saturday, a shutdown is expected to kick in, with fears it may gravely impact what is already a shaky economy. Republican House SpeakerKevin Mccarthy says theres still time to strike a shortterm deal, but so far hardline republican demands for spending cuts are preventing a temporary funding measure. Congress will work today to pass individual spending bills. This is also ticking for time is, i should say, for thousands of bay area Kaiser Health workers who may soon take part in the Largest Health sector strike in u. S. History. A coalition of more than 75,000 kaiser Service Workers in five states and washington, d. C. Are threatening to hold a threeday strike starting next wednesday. The union includes medical assistants and housekeeping staff. Workers say their contract expires at the end of this month. We personally feel like the forgotten heroes avenue it all. Everybody, and rightfully so, respects their nurse, their doctors opinion. But we are the people behind the scenes making all of these things happen fluid. Kaiser released a statement saying in part, to be clear, we will continue to bargain in good faith until we reach a fair and equitable agreement. Our top priority is caring for our members and patients, and we have plans in place to ensure we can continue to provide highquality care should a strike actually occur. 6 09. New this morning, gilroy firefighters are raising concerns about unstaffed firehouses and inadequate response times. The Firefighters Union recently called on supporters to attend an Upcoming Council meeting to Seek Solutions to the staffing challenges. We reached out to the city and have not received a direct response. A recent oped piece in the gilroy dispatch by one Council Member does indicate gaps in coverage. He calls it the result of temporary fire units being closed to save money. Lets take a peek outside. Bay bridge toll plaza, whoa, everybody is up and out the door this morning. Well check the morning commute in just a bit. Do you notice Something Else in that shot . Wet roads. There you go. Kari is monitoring the bay area. The roads were wet, but its not actively raining at the bay bridge. It is raining at the golden gate bridge. Its scattered and were going to see this activity over the next few hours, especially in the city, and near the coastline. Its all part of a much larger storm system hitting us early for the season, and its bringing some heavy rain across the pacific northwest. Some of the rainfall totals up around eureka and Crescent City going over 2 to 3 inches of rainfall. So this is significant for them. For us, its a few hundredths of an inch of rain. We are going to continue to possibly see the mist and drizzle really add up to be something out there. As you make your way inland, spots like concord, its dry, and temperatures are starting out in the 60s as we go throughout the day. We go back to sunshine and mild temperatures, its going to be a really nice afternoon, as many spots around the bay reach into the upper 70s and low 80s. Mike, those gas prices have been really high. Yeah, and theyre getting higher overall. The averages keep coming up. Mountain views diamond gas and mart just all the caltrain track, its 4. 87, which holds as one of the ten best in mountain view. We reported that same price last week. Alameda county, union citys best is 5. 09 at abe. In San Francisco, 5. 19 is the lowest price reported on san bruno avenue. Thank you for sharing those prices on gasbuddy. Com. On the roadways, one trouble spot. Across the bay bridge weve had a couple of crashes, one near the toll plaza and one near treasure island. Treasure island speeds are improving, slow up the incline. The backup at the toll plaza continues to build back to the berkeley curve. Back to you. Thanks, mike. Coming up, our exclusive look at a new report shining new light on the hold smartphones have on young children, and which apps are grabbing their attention the most.

The time is 6 15. Were looking at danville this morning. Were starting out cloudy, upper 60s, and then maybe drizzling in some spots. But overall for much of the east bay, its been pretty dry. As we go throughout the day, its going to clear out and sunshine ahead, as our mild temperatures return. Well get a look at more changes in our forecast coming up in a few minutes. We keep seeing changes over here at the bay bridge. We have the backup, but its flowing better in most of the lanes. The hov lanes did slow, so averaging out of speeds. Theres a big backup on the incline because of a crash at treasure island. Ill continue to track and show you the berkeley curve coming up. Happy tuesday to you. Rare up arrows on the markets monday. Investors are worried, though. You saw the futures just before the break, about future interest rates, the powerless of washington to keep the government open. The Makeup Company coty is offering money for shares, investors dont like when the company goes back to the well. Tesla has done this a couple times. General mills makes, among other things, dog food and dog treats. The company says now that many of us are going back to the office, were buying fewer treats. Chewy and petco have said much the same. Sales down significantly. Dog treats, by the way, account for 80 of all treat sales. Interesting story out of india. The governor there getting rid of the 2000 rupee note, so people have to deposit their 2000 rupees into the bank before the end of the month or they wont be able to spend them. Threads has fallen down near the bottom of the the download charts. Facebooks answer to twitter was super popular when it was first released. Facebook simply hasnt done anything with it. The commercial Real Estate Company cbre says Office Vacancies in San Francisco hit a new high in the third quarter, more than a third of offices are vacant. 33. 9 , to be exact. A Santa Cruz Company that makes electric air taxis just delivered their first aircraft to the air force. The air taxis can carry four passengers and a pilot, and theyre fast. 200 miles an hour. The air force is working with a number of electric air Taxi Companies encouraging them to research and build, as the military experiments with how they might use them, transporting people or cargo, medical evacuations would be fairly obvious as well. You know, this is one of those things you see video and you think, they just never in the bay area, there are all kinds of companies building these, and they are finally starting to deliver them. Theyre going to exist. Right. It always seems like a jetsons thing, next year, next year. Thanks, scott. Well live to see it. All right, new at 6 00 this morning, a lake tahoe mansion may soon break the record as the most expensive private home ever sold in that area. This house is in Incline Village listed for 76 million. It is a seven bedroom home with a private beach, a private pier, and five acres of land. If sold, it will be the most expensive house sold in the tahoe basin, with the next highest being 48 million sold back in 2013. They call it income village. That it is. Trending this morning, journey may be a San Franciscobased rock band, but the bay area so far not part of its upcoming milestone tour. When the lights go down in the city yeah, steve perry once saying, fondly about the city in the bay, but the latest in carnation of the band is turning the lights off. Its reported next years 50th Anniversary Tour kicks off in february in raleigh, north carolina, and the closest theyll get to the bay area is las vegas, midmarch. Fans, dont stop believing. There is still time to add a date or two. Journey last played chase center about a year and a half ago. And chase center is new, so you know it was recent. And steve perry doesnt sing with the band anymore. I think they have a new person singing. Right. There you have it. Theyve got to come back and sing for the giants game. I met steve perry once. He was from the Central Valley and i saw him in a diner. Was he cool . My brother dared me to get his autograph. I went up to him, and he goes, little girl, if i give my autograph to you, everyone is going to want it. Wow, total rock star. I was, like, i dont really want it, anyway, my brother wanted it. Talented singer. Mick jagger. You remember that vividly. I do. Lets get a look at whats going on in our weather this morning, as we start out with a little bit of rain here and there. Its been nice to see that, as we get this early season Atmospheric River, a very large storm system thats been hitting the pacific northwest. You can see the center of the storm here moving up around the gulf of alaska, while its drawing in all of that subtropical moisture and producing some heavy rain in spots. I was just looking at some of the rainfall totals going over 3 inches around Crescent City, and eureka getting about 2 inch rainfall totals. This is going to be beneficial for the complex of fires that have been burning and really sending smoke into the bay area recently. Now, hopefully, they will get a lot more containment and also hopefully put an end to the wildfire season up there. Not enough for us, but we are getting some light rain as it continues to move through, some spotty sprinkles here and there may still number the forecast as it moves into the east bay by about 8 00 to 9 00. Then we see it tapering off, the rest of the day is sunny and temperatures will be warming up. Were heading back up to where we were yesterday with los gatos reaching 78 degrees, and even some low 80s for east san jose, morgan hill 80, and walnut creek, and 75 in oakland. Mid70s for redwood city, and also upper 60s and low 70s for San Francisco, while the north bay will see highs in the upper 70s. This is also going to cause a lot of big waves along the coastline with that storm system offshore. We could see breakers today, 16 to 20 feet. So be really careful anywhere near the coastline and not a good day to try to test that out. Looking to see if theres more rain ahead, it looks like theres going to be some rain across the region,
