10. Look for a mostly cloudy day with on and off rain. This pattern plays into our weather tonight, tomorrow and sunday. 7 01. Sal, i loved hearing inxs. Now back to business. I want to mention that we want to let you know that staying away from 29th and moraga, these are not live pictures. These were pictures taken a little while ago. A barricaded suspect in a house. These are not live pictures because we dont want to give away anything going on. It is a good area to stay away from. It is near sunset playground. Plenty of Police Activity. We should have more information on this coming in. Lets go to a live picture of 280 not 280, but the runways in san jose. You see levis stadium in the background. They had an engine problem on a plane. Some say there were flames seen. That is unconfirmed however. The plane did not take off. Everyone is safe. It could have caused delays. Again, this is not going on any further at the airport. I see flashing lights out there. I believe that is routine. Lets take a look nearby northbound 280 at the 880 interchange. Traffic is moderately heavy. Today the Traffic Volume has been a little better than usual. Just a little bit of slow traffic here and there. Not a lot in the Silicon Valley to speak of. San mateo bridge looks good heading out to the highrise. Certainly people are out there but not in the same volume as they would be. For example, at the bay bridge toll plaza, traffic is moving along very well. It is unusual. 7 02. Back to the desk. A huge winter storm is blasting the u. S. Butting snow and wind and coastal flooding. More than 18 inches of snow have fallen in some areas. Look at the pictures. Parts of the northeast will have temperatures in the Single Digits today. Thousands of flights have been canceled, stranding a lot of travelers. It is affecting flights at San Francisco international airport. Christien kafton is there at sfo. You have been out there for hours. Tell us more about the cancellations and delays. Reporter yeah. Good morning, dave. It is 7 00 here on the west coast, 10 00 on the east coast. Were starting to see the cancellations stack up. That alaska flight in from new york jfk canceled this morning. We are expecting to see more cancellations, more delays as the weather progresses on the east coast. And of course the weather here with our rain and overcast skies, we could see delays here as well. Even the youngest travelers know that the weather could severely impact their travel plans. There is a lot of snow and a lot of storms. And some of them are canceling the flights because theres a lot of snow. Reporter we just checked in with sfo here and so far they have confirmed 21 canceled flights both outbound and inbound. Flights specifically from boston, jfk and newark all impacted here. Half dozen or so outbound flights to jfk and newark also canceled. We are hearing about 23 weather related delays. And passengers are keeping a close eye on the weather as they go to the airport. Im going to new york. So far i hear the flight is still on. There is a huge blizzard there but apparently it is over. I had a colleague that went on the red eye last night and he made it fine. Reporter she is hopeful she will make it fine as well. Were expecting the cancellations and delays to pile up. Yesterday sfo saw close to 100 canceled flights. Compounding all of this, sfo under a Traffic Management program because of the low clouds. Were seeing the snow and the bomb cyclone on the east coast. Here at sfo, we have the low clouds which could impact arrivals and departures here. The best advice for anyone traveling or picking anyone up from the airport, call ahead first to make sure that the person is actually there on time or that your flight will actually be departing. With the weather that were seeing on the east coast and the weather here on the west coast, it could be a long, slow day of travel. Yeah. Christien kafton at sfo. Thank you.

A fire was put out at a scrap metal complex. The one alarm fire started about an hour ago at a facility that is on davis street in san leandro near the 880 freeway. Firefighters put it out.

We will let you know what is going on coming up. Not widespread rain but some areas will get a persistent rain. Others will get a quick downpour. One in San Francisco and one in southern marin.

My little brother was just murdered by bart police in west oakland yesterday. Immigration advocates are demanding the release of a uc Berkeley Student being held in san diego by the border patrol. Last week he was visiting his girlfriend in San Diego County and were heading home from a party when they made a wrong turn and ended up at an immigration check point. He was taken into custody for a visa violation and being held at a private prison. Mora came to the u. S. As a child and overstayed his visa. There is backlash in california to President Trumps newly announced plan to expand offshore drilling in the u. S. It would open up to new leases to Oil Companies next year, including off the coast of california. There have not been a new drilling lease off of the coast of california since 1984. Now 7 new leases are being proposed off of the coast of california, oregon and washington. Two would be right here in northern california. The plan brought a swift reaction from governor jerry brown, along with the governors of oregon and washington who issued a joint statement saying, for more than 30 years, our shared coastline has been protected from further federal drilling and we will do whatever it takes to stop this reckless short sided action. Also Lieutenant Governor new newsom had this tweet. Donald trump, i have a message for you. Not going to happen. Sal castaneda is watching the traffic. One of our cameras is looking at it right now. The crash is blocking the left lane on westbound 24 with the emergency vehicles. I also want to mention that this happened when a car spun out and hit other vehicles according to chp. That is what is happening here. If you are driving in the area, you will see slow traffic. Fortunately the volume is lighter and it is not causing a huge backup on 24 and 680 but we will keep an eye on it for you. Bay bridge is clearly lighter getting into San Francisco. No major issues. 880 traffic continues to look good as you drive past the coliseum. No major issues northbound 880 near a street. We had a crash. As we pull back on the east bay commute, you can see not a lot going on. That includes the south bay drive. A little bit of traffic on northbound 280. 7 14. Lets bring in steve with todays weather. Thank you, sal. Were getting rain bands moving through. Other areas are saying what rain. Others are saying it has been steady. We will take you to san rafael yacht harbor. This is jim, well his tweet. So far a quarter of an inch. Is he lying . No, he is not. There it is. Just went by. Mill valley, mount tam, tiburon and richmond and el sobrante. Dave said we got rain in novato. Yes. We will take a look at that. It goes from novato up to bodega bay and the Russian River, guerneville and napa county and even rain up into late county. You can see from clearlake, Hidden Valley lake, cloverdale looks to be the cutoff. Not much to the north. Although there was good rain up in the Mendocino County in the last 24 hours. South San Francisco and the san mateo coast, here is where youre is there anything going on there . Actually there is. There is rain. It is not necessarily heavy but it is steady in the san cruise mountains. It will pick up later. Why . Because our system right there. Oh. Ill get there. Right there. That is latching on to that moisture. That will funnel it in here tonight. This is an event where it is light for some, bursts of moderate and pick up later tonight and tomorrow. Yes, it is very warm out there. Upper 50 toss low 60s. Berkeley, 60. Close for sunnyvale and san jose at 59 degrees. Upper 40s for dublin. Look at el sobrante, 60. Also el cerrito at 57. East southeast breeze for everybody. That along with the latitude systems is why it is warm and not cold at all. We will get off and on rain tonight and early saturday. Then it will kick out of here. We get a break the rest of saturday and sunday. This looks to be the best season system of the season so far. 60s on the temps. Mild to warm to the south. San jose if you missed it yesterday did hit 70 for a record high. Rain off and on today under cloudy and mostly cloudy sky. Then the rain returns monday and tuesday. It looks like a good one. Thank you, steve. A woman sexually assaulted while sleeping on a plane. What police are saying about the investigation. Also california drivers licenses could have a new look. Up next the new features that could help at Airport Security check points. The controversial tellall book about President Trump goes on sale today. The author of the book fire and fury, Michael Wolff was interviewed this morning on the today show. Do you have recordings of some of these interviews and conversations . I work like every journalist works. So i have recordings. I have notes. I am certainly and absolutely in every way comfortable with everything that i have reported in this book. Would you release any of those recordings since your credibility is being questioned . My credibility is being questioned by a man who has less credibility than perhaps anyone who has ever walked on earth at this point. Joining us live is doug luzader from washington, d. C. Doug, tell us how this is playing out at the white house. Reporter well, interesting interview with the author here Michael Wolff there on the today show. One interesting aspect of this has been the number of people that have come forward to say that their quotes in here were not accurate. Steve bannon, the president s former chief strategist, is not among them. No one has questioned the accuracy of those quotes. They are significant. At one point bannon accuses donald trump jr. Of treason in his meeting with a russian lawyer in trump tower during the campaign. And this may kind of perk the ears of folks who are investigating possible collusion between the Trump Campaign and russia. Among them would be bob mueller, who is the special counsel heading that investigation. We will see if this has any implications for that. Beyond that, from a gossip standpoint, this has washington talking like no other book we have seen in a while. It went on sale at midnight last night. And there were early this morning. It was supposed to be released next week. The president has been fighting this. At one point his lawyers sent a letter to the publishers of the book asking them not to publish it. In fact it went on sale early this morning. And sales, dave and gasia, have been brisk. I bet they are. We have seen talk about two things. Steve bannon seems to be backtracking somewhat. Not changing his words but now he is being more praise worthy of the president. Im always with the president. Also some major donors are backing away from steve bannon. Talk about that. The mercer family, big backers of steve bannon, they have backed away from him. A lot of folks are walking backward out of the room right now with steve bannon. You know, he kind of positioned himself as a king maker with the president , someone who led the campaign in its final stages as the president defeated Hillary Clinton. But also since he left the white house, he has kind of chosen a path where he is backing insurgent candidates, antiestablishment candidates. A lot of the folks now are concerned about all of this. And more and more of them want less and less to do with steve bannon. So it is not clear where he goes from here. But he has stirred up a hornets nest. Certainly the president has been tweeting about the book, his displeasure about it. Do you expect other members of the trump family, specifically ivanka trump, to reply what is in the pages . Reporter maybe so. Steve bannon was not flattering in his portrayal of ivanka trump or his description of her. He had things to say about donald trump jr. There has also been a letter sent from trumps lawyers to bannon, reminding him that he signed a confidentiality agreement apparently which included no disparagement of trump family members. We may see legal battles out of this but the genie is out of the bottle on this. Now that the president is slamming steve bannon, a lot of people are looking at what does that say about the president. This is the person who was by his side and helping to strategize with him. Reporter yeah. Thats right. Were seeing the president kind of diminish the role of steve bannon as someone who was just kind of a staffer, someone he didnt meet with one on one all that much. Steve bannon was a power player in the white house. No question. There were a number of in kind of the chaotic beginning of the administration, there were a number of Power Centers at the white house. Steve bannon was one of them. And ultimately he was shown the door. And it looks like the rift between bannon and the president is significant right now. Yeah. All right. Doug luzader from washington. Thank you.
