Maybe a few lingering showers. But temperatures in the 60s and the 70s. Its going to be a mess. Roberta gonzales is at the toll plaza. Reporter good morning, lawrence. Hey, if it looks like rain and it smells like rain, which it certainly does, its rain in fact, take a look at this. Youre going to need one of these today and you probably dont even know where it is because were forecasting more rain in todays weather picture than what we saw of all of last january. Its true. It gives you a good indication just how little rainfall we have had right here in the bay area. So no, this isnt a storm watch rainfall event but nevertheless, its raining in fact, im ready to do the happy dance out here this morning. You dont need me to tell you to slow down. But guess what . Im going to tell to you slow down because were outside the toll plaza here. Were taking a look at the cars on the approach of the toll. People are continuing to keep it at a high rate of speed. To tell you more about whats going on with the traffic situation this morning, we have Elizabeth Wenger with traffic. Elizabeth, what do we need to tell them out here today . Slow down and watch out for roberta at the toll plaza. You dont want to hit her, either. Theres some puddling in those middle lanes actually. You may have seen that in robertas shot with splashing in the shots. We have a lot of flooding reports coming out. The worst of it is the central freeway and skyway on the other side of the bridge in San Francisco. Heres a live look at 880 in oakland. You can see the rain coming down northbound and southbound 880 looking okay near the oakland coliseum. Again, accident involving a tanker truck and car this time westbound 980 at 880. Chp says theres a lot of standing water in the road so that obviously did not help the commute in that area. They are working to clear that accident. Heres anothering anful another angle of the bay bridge toll plaza. No big wait and no metering lights yet. So we have seen i think two or three accidents now on the other side westbound 80 right around that 9th street exit. This one is clearing now. Be careful in both directions. Chp calling this major flooding right now on the central freeway and skyway. That is a very busy kcbs drive to work already. Back to you guys. All right. Thank you, elizabeth. 5 03.

Mark sayre joins us live in Mountain View with the latest. Reporter this is still an active scene here and as you said Police Investigating the discovery of two dead bodies, lets show you what we have here. We are on california street. This is right near south rangesdorf avenue and el camino real. The Fire Department set up a command post. Mountain view police have the street closed. It was about 6 00 last night, police and fire crews were called here on the report of a strong odor of possible natural gas. Now, that odor was so strong that Police Ordered the evacuation of two apartment buildings and issued a shelter in place order for another. But once fire crews started going through the buildings, they found two bodies inside one of the apartment units. Now, at this point, there is no information on whether those bodies are connected to this odor in any way. There is no way to say that for sure. Police at this point also not saying if theres any suspected foul play involved. Those who were evacuated are staying at a nearby Evacuation Center and Neither Police nor Mountain View fire officials at this point can give us any idea when this will be open and perhaps some of these residents are allowed back into their homes. Was anyone else hurt . Reporter there were four Police Officers who originally responded to the scene. Those Police Officers were treated for some symptoms related to whatever that odor was. Again, theres no confirmation that that odor was in fact natural gas. But they were treated at the scene, released and fine. We are not aware of any civilians that received any kind of medical treatment here on the scene. Okay, mark sayre live in Mountain View. Thanks, mark developing news, now. The u. S.

The campaign of air strikes against targets in syria yesterday as president obama addressed the United Nations general assembly. He asked other nations to stand with the u. S. In its efforts to dismantle the group. Collectively, we must take concrete steps to address the danger posed by religiously motivated fanatics and the trends that fuel their recruitment. Five arab allies have joined the u. S. In strikes. The latest round targeted ice us is mobile Oil Refineries and now Great Britain may join the mission in iraq. Prime minister David Cameron is calling parliament into session tomorrow to try to get approval to take part in air strikes.

Albert einstein, george alex jenny jenny carlos alex carlos good morning burrito team we set out to make a bigger, tastier breakfast burrito and i think we nailed it. Introducing bigger, better breakfast burritos. The grande sausage, packed with hash browns, sausage, and creamy sriracha sauce and the meat lovers, stuffed with ham, bacon and sausage, both wrapped in a warm guerrero tortilla. Burritos so big, they make everything look smaller. Di vinci all had something common. They were dyslexic. Its true but it certainly didnt stop them from making their mark. But, it takes effort and an educational albert einstein, George Washington and others have something in common dyslexic. It takes an Educational Program to get over that hump. Thats what Athena Academy is all about. Its this weeks cool school. Reporter i would start with this one. Reporter imagine a grade school where the student teacher ratio is 6 1, where team work is a daily habit, and creativity is a must. Its here in palo alto. Athena academy, a school for gifted students that have difficulty reading. Its actually this paradox where you have trouble learning to read but these kids are very bright, very gifted in things like designing, inventing. Reporter and its that creative visual spirit that drives the curriculum here at athena. By simply using clay to mold the letters in the word friend, students are able to visualize, understand and spell the word. Its that handson education that gives dyslexic kids the upper hand in reading. The clay helps me read because you get to feel it and its kind of a fun activity. Reporter making it fun keeps students engaged like designing a Candy Wrapper in math class. Its a sweet way to learn about ratios and proportions and using that visual medium that clicks with these rightbrain thinkers. I think it helps us memorize it and just get used to all the numbers and by doing fun stuff. I think i was able to start learning right away and using how to read and write better. I love reading books now. Reporter Athena Academy started with the founders kids, 12yearold angela and her twin brother danny. Now some three years later has grown to 24 students, ages 7 to 14. 7yearold owen just enrolled and his progress is through the roof. As a mom who has been struggling through two different schools now trying to find the fit for the very bright loquacious little boy who just cant read yet, its a miracle. I can relax. I can breathe again. Yeah. I was talking to the founder and she said that some kids that come in there just for a shadow day actually leave all the better for it just one day making a big difference. Amazing. Its amazing what the visual part can do for you. Yeah. Thats what its all about because the kids have a right side brain thinking and so they see everything visually as opposed to reading and that kind of thing. They currently have grades 2 through 7. They double every year and hope to have an 8th grade next fall. Right now 24 kids started with two. Very cool. What is cool about your school . Email your nominations to coolschools kpix. Com. We may come and feature your school on the show. Good story, frank. Okay. 5 15. Californias figuring out how its going to spend almost 700 million in emergency drought funds. So far the state is ready to fund more than 100 projects all throughout the state. About 200 million will go towards everything from new wells to replacing pipelines. Its expected to be approved by the end of the next month. State Water Department has another 250 million it will hand out for projects next spring. I know it wont make a difference in the drought but its a welcome sight. Lets get it going. We are seeing the showers starting early and seeing some good rainfall around the bay area very slick out there on the roads this morning. The cold front right now pulling through town. Here it is on our hidef Doppler Radar. You can see it sliding through the north bay first. Now making its way through the central bay and into San Francisco. We are seeing pretty good showers moderate to heavier amounts of rainfall now making its way through. If you havent seen it yet, its headed in your direction. This cold front is sliding in. We have pockets of rain into san mateo and redwood city and half moon bay. Not a whole lot of rain just yet into milpitas and sunnyvale and san jose. But its coming in your direction. So be prepared for that. So we are going to see that rain moving through the bay area this morning. I think by about the middle of the morning, a lot of that is going to be tapering off. Theres a chance we could still see an isolated thunderstorm with the system as it slides through. But we are going to see mostly sunny conditions and mild weather as we head into the weekend. Heres that cold front making its way into the bay area now. You have the trough thats really digging its way along the california coastline. That is helping to support the system. It is going to be a slow mover as it moves on by this morning. But as we head toward the afternoon, things start to dry out. A lot of rain around the state too as we are going to see showers up in the sierra nevada. Thats good news for the folks fighting that king fire there. It looks like they will get some muchneeded rain for them. All right. Heres a system right now just pulling its way on through sliding on by. By 8 00, 9 00, we are going to see it sliding into san jose all the way into morgan hill and gilroy down into the monterrey day. But then just scattered showers behind that. And we are going to see some sunshine between the breaks in the clouds and the possibility of an isolated thunderstorm but i think the worst of it comes through this morning and then the weather should start to improve. Temperaturewise, we are going to see a lot of 70s into the south bay this afternoon with a little sunshine and a few clouds. 60s at the coastline, east bay up in the 70s in many spots and inside the bay sunshine this afternoon, some 60s and some low 70s. Next couple of days, weather going to stay unsettled, maybe even a thunderstorm tomorrow as the main area of low pressure going to push through the bay area. Then on saturday and sunday, return to some sunshine and dry weather. Mild conditions continuing right through monday and tuesday of next week. Time to check on those roads now with elizabeth. We arent used to driving in the rain. Its been so long. Maybe a little bit yesterday. But todays the real issue. We are seeing a lot of different incidents. Chp working 17 or 18 different accidents flooding reports all around the bay area. So well show you what it looks like. This is oakland and probably our worst Traffic Alert right now is in the oakland area. Southbound so well show you where it is. Its a tanker truck versus car and this is a slightly new location so its actually on the southbound lanes of 880 approaching 980. Chp says they are going to have several lanes blocked for the next couple of hours. But hoping to reopen lanes by about 7 00 but again, theres a lot of flooding apparently standing water up to four inches in that area. So they have blocked off the area. Again, that was involving a big rig and another car, as well. Chp on scene now. Were already seeing those delays heading out of the oakland area. Just kind of bottlenecking there for about one exit behind the crash. Also westbound 580 very heavy rain obviously following right now in the pleasanton area. They did pick up the overnight roadwork hacienda to san ramon road so we are just seeing the usual delays coming out of the livermore valley. Chp is calling major flooding spread out all lanes leaving San Francisco southbound 280 approaching mariposa exit the 280 extension. They were talking about standing water up to 8 on parts of the central freeway and skyway so thats a hot spot right there all around San Francisco freeways. Heres a live look at the san mateo bridge. Westbound 92 looks okay in hayward. A new accident along peninsula southbound 101 approaching poplar. A couple of lanes blocked there, please be extra careful or use mass transit. Back to you guys.

Both Mountain View police and fire and hazmat are here. We are near el camino real. You can see the Fire Department has a command post here. Heres what we know. It was about 6 00 last night that police and fire crews were called here on a report of a strong odor possibly of natural gas or some other kind of chemical odor. It was so strong that Police Ordered the evacuation of two apartment buildings and issued a shelter in place order for another. Once fire crews started going through the building they discovered two bodies inside one of the apartments. There is no information on how these people died or if the deaths are in fact connected in any way to this odor. Thats the suspicion but its unconfirmed. Police arent saying if they suspect any kind of foul play. For those evacuated they are staying at a nearby red cross shelter. At this point we dont have any information from Mountain View police or fire as to how long these evacuations will be in place. Two apartments evacuated, some at a nearby shelter but out of their homes and dont know when they will get back in. Was anyone he is hurt . Reporter we received a report last night that there were four Police Officers that did receive some kind of treatment for that extremely strong odor. The good news, that treatment occurred right here at the scene. They were released at the scene. Nobody was admitted to the hospital. We have not heard anything about civilian injuries. Mark sayre live in Mountain View, thank you. Other big story today, of course, the rain and the commute is going to be a little nasty for a lot of folks. Its going to be very wet out there on the commute this morning. The storm system really coming right through now. It looks like things may be tapering off later on but out the door we go, we have a cold front, an early season storm and muchneeded rain falling in the bay area. This is pretty impressive for this time of the year. Novato has red on the screen thats heavier amounts of rain falling there. But it continues to work its way to the south. Thats what were going to see throughout the morning hours. Not a whole lot of rain into palo alto just yet or san jose or milpitas. But dont worry. It is coming your way and well be picking up very, very shortly. So out the door, it is very wet out there on the road. The temperatures are staying fairly mild mainly in the 50s and the 60s. But this is actually cooler than its been for quite some time. As we head toward the afternoon, those skies are going to part. Well see some partly cloudy skies, the temperatures in the 60s and the 70s. Maybe a few wandering showers. All right. Lets go to roberta gonzales, she is out in the storm right now.

I got to tell you from my observation, only about half of them are slowing down with the wet conditions. All right. Lets give you some more observations. Take a look at the flag. The winds are basically flat at this time. But i have noticed that the air temperature is now beginning to drop with the advancement of the system as it begins to move into the bay area. The rain has been on the increase. Were in a little bit of a light lull now but it definitely has been increasing as the morning has been going on. You dont need me to tell you to slow down as you head through the bay area this morning. But slow down. One last reminder. Dont forget your umbrella.

Chopper 5 enlisted to help fire rescue boats locate the surfers and make sure they were okay. Surfers can again access a popular spot in san mateo county. A judge ruled against a billionaire for blocking access to Martins Beach in half moon bay. The owner bought the land in 2008 and locked the gate to the beach. The judge ruled he couldnt do that without permission from the California Coastal commission. Yesterdays ruling is expected to be appealed. I bet karnow is the first one down that road. That is a spectacular beach. I have been there before. They filmed a lot of movies there before. I mean, it is really a sight to see if you get a chance to go there. And youre a surfer. I used to surf quite a bit. The waves were big yesterday. But today we are seeing rain around the bay area. The storm clouds have moved in and we have rain. The hidef Doppler Radar is tracking the storm. You can see it sliding through right now. Really making its way right through parts of the central bay and as it does, it is going to bring some heavy downpours this morning so out the door, be prepared for some very, very slick roads. You can see some moderate to heavy amounts of rainfall stretching all the way down from near the napa valley sliding on southward through richmond into San Francisco into san mateo. Stanford now starting to pick up some rain and fairly dry through fremont and san jose. You have seen some drizzle there but the heavier rainfall still yet to come. It is on the way. This afternoon, partial clearing, scattered showers, most of the heavy rainfall coming through this morning and then mostly sunny conditions and mild weather over the weekend. This cold front very early usually you dont see this until the third or fourth week in october but well take it as it slides through supported by a good trough here. So on the back side of this, you have some cooler air and some unsettled air so theres a possibility of some isolated thunderstorms, too. Traveling around the stated, you will find showers in much of northern california. The temperatures still fairly mild about 77 degrees in sacramento. 87 into fresno. Lets time it out for you. You can see the front making its way through the bay area now. But as we head through the morning it comes through. By 9 00 we break free of some clouds, still a few scattered showers but well start to see sun around 9 00. Noontime things dry out further. But again, theres a slight chance of an isolated thunderstorm not only today but into tomorrow, as well. Temperaturewise these numbers running below average but comfortable. 74 san jose. 66 breezy in pacifica. East bay numbers up in the mid 70s in many spots. Then inside the bay youre looking at temperatures in the 60s and the 70s. Out over the next couple of days, a slight chance of showers continuing tomorrow. But then well dry things out very nice weather over the weekend on saturday and sunday. Looking good. Mid80s in the warmer spots by monday and tuesday but liz, very busy out there on the roads. It is so busy. I would use mass transit. Its not even 6 00 and we have two Traffic Alerts, numerous new flooding reports coming in, most of these accidents because of flooding, standing water in the road and cars going too fast and hydroplaning so well talk about the Traffic Alerts first. The first ones in oakland its been out there for a while now but traffic is beginning to back up. Southbound 880 approaching 980. Two lanes are blocked and traffic is slow actually coming off of the bridge coming off the bay bridge starts to back up right around grand and big rigs are allowed to use 580. 580 would be a good alternate for you as well if you dont want to get stuck in that traffic jam. If you are heading farther south once you get past the 980 interchange everything is okay closer to the oakland coliseum. This is our second Traffic Alert. Chp said this is a jackknifed big rig blocking the slow lane at vargas. So this is countercommute but people in the commute direction southbound are obviously stopping a little bit or slowing a little bit to see the accident. Now we are seeing delays in both directions of 680 into and out of fremont. Heres a live look at a very wet bay bridge toll plaza. They switched on the metering lights a little while ago and cars are really going very slowly approaching those pay gates. It is already stacked up through the overcrossings. The eastshore freeway also pretty slow for this time of the morning 24 minutes from the carquinez bridge to the maze. And once you get into San Francisco, chp was telling us about numerous different flooding reports at least earlier. Southbound 280 near mariposa and on the central freeway and the skyway before 101.
