Precipitation. Gusty winds, as well. Todays event also north bay event with just scattered light rain showers here or there. Flash flood watch in effect for lake, mendocino and humboldt counties. You may say, yeah, but thats far to the north. Hey, theyre our viewers too and it encompasses over 300,000 people who will receive a half a foot of rain by tomorrow night. Also, the soberanes fire burn area with the potential of mudslides and landslides. Again, as we take a birdseye view out towards the embarcadero, you can see the bright lights of the port of oakland in the distance there and also the estuary where right now our temperatures are in the 50s. We are seeing limited visibility because we have a lot of light drizzle out there. Its all that lowlevel moisture and not a wind to speak of at this time. Temperatures later today 50s and 60s. I want you to get a good look at the Mountain View temperature. Also oakland, fremont, vallejo, san rafael, because all those 60s are going away. We are going to be stuck in the 50s after today for at least 7 days. Well talk about that coming up. Heres roqui. Its 5 01. Lets check richmond with this three car crash. Not doing well. Traffic is trying to recover. Westbound 80 before el portal drive a threecar crash blocking the two left lanes. In the area traffic is moving at 7 Miles Per Hour. So it is part of your morning commute give yourself extra time. From the bay bridge toll plaza from the carquinez bridge along the eastshore freeway to the maze that will take 34 minutes now and expect no delays through the toll plaza. Those metering lights will turn on in 30 minutes. Moving to the Altamont Pass, traffic coming out of tracy on 205, youre moving at just about 30 Miles Per Hour across the way there into livermore where you hit the foggy dublin interchange. Altamont pass to 680 will take 14 minutes. With all the rain, the king tides could be an issue for the next couple of days. Tides are about 7 feet high yesterday. Thats the highest of the year and more than a foot higher than usual. It may be the new norm. To prepare, the city of San Francisco has set aside 9 million for upgrades to the seawall from Mission Creek to fishermans wharf. Were going to have to get very imaginative about the measures that we implement so that we can live with these rises tides, adapt with them over time and not disconnect ourselves from the bayfront. Well, at this point the project is still in the planning phases but the city will continue to collect data for the future. The raiders are one step closer to staying in oakland. City and county leaders approved a billiondollar plan last night but its not a done deal yet. Later today the nfl owners will meet and talk about this big plan so they are going to have a huge say in this deal whether or not the raiders will stay in oakland or move to las vegas. The plan is to move to a new stadium in hopes of moving the team to oakland. Yesterday the alameda board of supervisors approved the same deal that the Oakland City Council approved last night. The city of oakland and Alameda County would offer 100 acres at the coliseum site and city of oakland would commit an additional 2 00 million for infrastructure. That money would be paid by taxes, hopefully generated from the stadium project. This plan was put together by ronnie lott and supported by a lot of former raiders players including marcus allen. The city of oakland is special. As i looked at the landscape of the National Football league, there are a lot of teams out there that have a unique relationship, the steelers with pittsburg, green bay with the packers. Um but none, um, hm, galvanizing than the city the oakland. Critics say money should be put toward other needs in the city. And there are plenty. The only City Council Home in oppose this deal, he abstained from voting. He released a statement on facebook after the vote. Well have that coming up in the next halfhour. So what about the existing debt on the coliseum report . What happens to that . That is the 91 million elephants in the room here. If the plan does pass, that will need to be dealt with before the property can be transferred so expect another round of negotiations between the city and county which each has a stake in the property and that debt. One thing is for sure, i think a lot of oakland fans are happy this is come to this point. Reporter yeah. This whole thing has been crazy. Honestly. [ laughter ] [ overlapping speakers ] its a big step. Absolutely. So well see what the nfl owners have to stay. Thank you. Some of the biggest names in tech are going to trump tower today to meet with the president elect. Kpix 5s maria medina reports. Reporter good morning. Before president elect donald trump was elected, dozens of tech execs called him a disaster for innovation, now they are going to meet him. Some of the Big Name Companies include facebook, amazon, apple, teslas ceo will be there, google will be there. They are concerned that president elect trump will infringe on Digital Privacy but curb the hire of tech savvy immigrants. They are not saying much about what they plan to talk about president elect trump. Some say they will plead their case. Some try to keep the peace. I think well get acquainted. They dont know each other. Silicon valley, the technology community, the president elect, they have had no substantial dialogue. There wasnt anything happening on the campaign trail. The president elect didnt spend anytime in Silicon Valley. Reporter no, he didnt. And while on the campaign trail, trump criticized apple for outsourcing to china. He sparred with amazons ceo who owns the Washington Post blaming him of directing the papers coverage so amazon could avoid paying state sales taxes. A lot of techs openly opposed his candidacy. But the meeting today is scheduled for 11 00 our time. Its expected to be an hour. They hope to extend an olive branch. One of the things they agree on is lowering the Corporate Tax rate. Well see exactly what happens in just a few hours. Live in san jose, maria medina, kpix 5. We are getting a better look at whats left of the ghost ship warehouse in oakland. You can see whats left of the stairway that led up to the second floor here. A lot of the tenants personal items like bikes and clothing are now burned. The fire chief says that no one ever inspected the building because they didnt know anyone was living there. We did not have any record stating that our firefighters had made entry or were aware of what was going on. 36 people died in the fire. The cause is still a mystery. But the atf team says that they are focusing on the buildings electrical system. Right now, in castro valley, investigators are continuing to search a badly burned home where a widows body was found. The blaze ripped through this groveway house around 3 00 yesterday morning. After controlling the flames, investigators discovered the remains of a 59yearold woman inside the garage. A coroner confirmed she was murdered. Authorities had to cover up the crime scene to preserve evidence in the rain. So far they believe the fire was started to destroy any dna traces. Were also trying to figure out how did our victim get from inside the home into the garage, was she moved there before or after she was killed . Right now, investigators have no suspect information. They are asking neighbors to check their Surveillance Video for any clues. A San Francisco stabbing suspect killed in a Police Shooting will likely get a public memorial. The board of supervisors voted to put a memorial in Bernal Heights park for alex nieto. Four officers shot him in 2015 after he allegedly pointed a taser at them. After the vote, the San FranciscoPolice Officers association released this statement. We believe that we as a city should instead be honoring real heroes. The First Responders who made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting our community from harm. This morning, Governor Brown is set to deliver remarks to a gathering of scientists in the bay area. The American Geophysical union is holding its annual fall meeting in San Francisco. Many of the scientists are expressing concerns about president elect donald trump and his skepticism about climate change. Politics may be a game. But protecting our earths climate on which we all depend is not a game. Its not enough just to do our science. We have to get out and explain to people why this science matters, to them, to their lives, to their jobs, to their communities to their health and wellbeing one of the events organizers wants to encourage organizers to block trumps appointment of scott pruitt to lead the epa. Time now 5 10. The arctic air that hit the midwest is now moving into the northeast and bringing danger along with it. Plus this. [ music ] james corden and bruno mars drive through los angeles singing songs. The highlights next. I am so sorry but bruno mars is on my bucket list, okay . Good morning, everyone.

Taking a look out towards the golden gate bridge, which is going to be a rough commute tomorrow. Not so much the case today. In fact, roqui is along for the ride. She will have a look at your traffic. Ive got weather. Coming up in less than 4 minutes. Well, you likely have heard about the hatchimal. Its basically this years tickle me elmo for christmas which means the bird is flying off the shelves so fast, that parents are scrambling to get their hands on one. The furry toy bird literally hatches from its shell. Retail price, about 60 bucks. But the toys are going for twice, sometimes triple that, on ebay. Its got that technological component that makes it really engaging. It also requires that the user interact with it in order for it to come to life. Okay well, the company that makes hatchimals spin master says it is increasing production. Thats i dont know. What do you think about this . Are you sold on this hatchimal . I guess its cool. I guess all the kids love it. Are your kids asking for it . No. Im glad my daughter has no idea what that is. My kids are asking for a real animal, a dog or rabbit, from the north pole. Hopefully it hatches. Maybe. I dont know whats going to happen. Who knows. In sacramento, hundreds of animals have found new homes this Holiday Season because a local woman decided to play santa. Yeah. Kim pacini puts up the money to cover all the adoption fees for an entire shelter. Kim says she couldnt believe that her local shelter front street had 1,000 animals longing for a permanent home. So she took to facebook and announced that she would be funding the 20 adoption charge for every, single animal there for an entire month. And within two weeks, 600 animals were adopted. We have been thinking about getting a dog but that really pushed us over the edge to come and bring a dog home. Been like a month of black friday. The beauty is they are not going to buy a tv or game system. They are here to save lives. Ever since kim stepped up to pay for adoptions at front street, at least three other local shelters are being sponsored by donors. Thats so nice of her. She is definitely not on the naughty list. No. Definitely not. And i think thats an idea for you. You can go to the Adoption Center and pick up a dog for your kids. Kenny, youre getting me in trouble here now my kids are like, see, mom . No excuses with my kids i dont know, roqui. This is something i have been mulling over for a while. Those hatchimals remind me of [ nonenglish name ] when i was a kid. Can sounds crazy but theyre fun. Moving to the Richmond San Rafael bridge, it looks good here but we do have a problem in richmond on westbound 80 before el portal drive. A threecar crash still blocking the two left lanes and its been out there for a while now. Crews are out there trying to clear it out but its causing major delays as you can see in the area. Traffic is moving at 6 Miles Per Hour. So youre inching through. If this is part of your morning commute i would give myself some extra time to get down westbound 80. To the bay bridge toll plaza from westbound 80 from the carquinez bridge to the maze will take you 46 minutes due to the slowdown in richmond. Moving to the san mateo bridge a, from hayward to foster city thats 880 to 101 will take you a quick 12 minutes so much better story on this and into the peninsula. Slow traffic along the Altamont Pass coming out of tracy at 17 Miles Per Hour. Speeds pick up to 30. Once you hit north flynn road. North tracy boulevard along 580 westbound to the Altamont Pass will take you a long 30 minutes into livermore. Now, mass transit, bart daly city station is delayed 20 minutes on trains heading to pittsburgbay point and dublin pleasanton due to track maintenance. Ace train, muni and caltrain are all on time.

If you are beginning your morning commute right there in core deal yeah, youre going to jump on cordelia, youre going to jump on i80. Perhaps youre going to 680, you will be wet most of the both commutes. A scattered shower across the north bay, heavy drizzle. Flash flood watch in effect for lake, mendocino and humboldt counties. Thats 300,000 peopleplus thats going to be experiencing up to a half foot of rain by tomorrow night. Right now, mostly cloudy skies around the rim of the bay. Temperaturewise, we are into the 50s. Very mild out the door this morning. And heres what you need to know. You can carry the umbrella for that lowlevel moisture today or that light north bay shower. It is heavy rain, gusty winds and then well clear out on friday through the weekend. Area of low pressure to the north tapping into the subtropical moisture. This plume extends out towards hawaii. So what does that mean . It means first off the showers are confined from the north. This is from a weak disturbance, then the more potent area of low pressure is up stairs here or upstream. What its going to do is start to move in towards the north bay by tomorrow mornings commute. Its slowed down its progress somewhat. But this is some pretty heavy rain. As it slices across the central bay by the lunch hour and the evening commute, its going to be brief heavy downpours within 2 to 4 hours. So that means well have ponding on the roads and well have some hydro concerns, especially with the king tides at high noon tomorrow. So over 4 of rain in ukiah, up to 2 around the central bay but the winds are going to gust up to 35 Miles Per Hour. Winter weather watch in effect for the high sierra.
