well, it looks like we're having some technical. >> good morning to you. it is wednesday, january. >> it is wednesday, january 7th. >> let's talk about the forecast, shall we guys. we will take you to a live picture outside. this is san jose where we have mostly cloudy conditions out there. the roads are damp of the showers are gone. however we do have some fog to deal with. it is dense in some spots in petaluma we're down to zero miles. visibility conquered a little bit less than two miles, so areas near the delta and in the north bay. we do have some low level moisture and some cloud cover first thing, but temperatures are in the low and mid 50s currently, so it's not too chilly out there. here's how the day shapes up. we'll have partly sunny skies here. brighter conditions throughout the afternoon. those temperatures are very pleasant. we'll get into the upper 50s and lower 60s. rain is back by the end of the week. we'll show you that coming up in a few minutes. but first, let's check in with sue and see how we're doing with traffic this morning. hi, sue.

>> good morning drew, and we're taking a look outside in san jose where as you can see, it's getting a little bit lighter and some slick roads. the biggest issue this morning after overnight rain and some standing water. also thick fog that drew's been talking about and it's patchy. so you may come up on it pretty quickly. this is highway 87 with those tail lights headed up towards the san jose airport. you can see the runway lights at the top of your screen, and we'll hop over to 101 in san jose. tail lights headed south, headlights headed north, and the overcrossing is 880 and all lanes are moving at the limit with no delay. we do have a delay with bart. they are experiencing major delay, which means more than 20 minutes on the millbrae line due to an equipment problem in south san francisco. so heads up bart slowing also due to wet tracks as well. >> so sue, thank you to fight a rise in violent crime, oakland is looking to resurrect a gun violence prevention program that ended before the pandemic, and new data from an audit is

helping the cause. abc seven news reporter lena howland is here to talk about it. lena, reggie, that new audit says the program, known as operation ceasefire, saved lives. >> it was introduced ten years ago and became a national model for tackling gun violence. it focused attention on a small group of individuals and gangs, and also established programs like job training, counseling and social services. the audit, done in collaboration with several groups, suggests that the data driven operation ceasefire worked. according to the city of oakland, there was a 42% drop in homicides from 2012 to 2017. they say that means around 140 lives saved. but then came the pandemic and shift away from ceasefire. for james burch, with the anti-police terror project, says he supports the comeback of ceasefire. >> they would be looking at best practices from across the country to ensure that the programs that are invested in and implemented in the city of oakland are based on the best

available data. >> they, um, proceed to kind of really posture and kind of threaten them that if they don't change their behavior, that there's going to be that they're going to be, you know, held accountable. >> but but not everyone wants to see the return of the program. george galvez, the executive director of communities united for restored of justice, says, among other things, the program unfairly targeted black and brown men. former oakland mayor libby schaaf, who was in office when operation ceasefire ended, tweeted yesterday that while she thinks the audit failed to consider the pandemic's impact on crime in the city, she supports the efforts to revitalize the program in studio. lena howland abc seven news. >> lena, thank you so much. a water main break is to blame for a sinkhole in san francisco's financial district. take a look at this video right here. water from the pipe shot up to ten feet into the air after the break at california and montgomery streets overnight. the sinkhole is right next to a cable car line, but the line

does not appear to be affected. nearby homes and businesses may experience low water pressure or service interruptions as crews repair that break and city workers are inspecting trees in golden gate park after a massive eucalyptus tree fell onto five vehicles. you can see the tree right there. the incident happened on monday, trapping 11 people in their cars, and it's not clear how long the process will take as the city's tree crew consists of only 25 people and there are nearly 27,000 trees in golden gate park. experts say that trees of any age or species can fail, so proper maintenance is very important by taking off the weight of the branches. >> we like to say creating windows in a tree. it allows the wind to go through those branches and not put the pressure on on the branches. arbor ists say that eucalyptus trees are susceptible to falling because they are top heavy, and

their root system is shallow. >> in the south bay, drivers need to be prepared for some delays on one of the bay area's busiestrillionoadways because of lane restrictions, caltrans is going to be cleaning up highway 101 from 13th street in san jose all the way up to shoreline boulevard in mountain view. they'll be on the south bound side in the mornings and in the afternoon they'll go to the northbound side and the work will be going on each day this week, with a focus on the center divider and the shoulder. >> i know some some motorists probably see like these large weeds and the center divider or they see some, you know, debris from a crash or a blown out tire . our crews are going to go out there and they're going to clean all that up. >> the work is supposed to start at 9:00 this morning and wrap up by 4:00 this afternoon. if all goes as planned, caltrans will be done on friday. >> first lady doctor jill biden is in san francisco today as part of a west coast fundraising trip for her husband's campaign. she'll be at an event in the city today. she'll head to southern california later

tonight, and then return to the bay area tomorrow for another fundraiser in sonoma county. meanwhile, president biden is clearly watching the republican race after donald trump's victory in iowa. biden shared a message for the candidates. you know, it's kind of funny all these republican candidates in the primary trying to beat donald trump and i'm still the only person to ever beat donald trump. >> and i'm looking forward to it again for the good of this country. >> we republicans are now setting their sights on new hampshire with the next primary in less than a week. and speaking of new hampshire, tomorrow's plan republican primary debate isn't happening. >> that's because no one wants to go. the decision came after former president donald trump declined the offer to join former un ambassador nikki haley says she won't do it unless trump goes. so that only left florida governor ron desantis. and you can't debate yourself. trump who is fresh off his big win in iowa, is focusing his attacks on haley. she's been

surging in the polls in new hampshire after a third place showing in the hawkeye state. haley's campaign has slammed trump, calling him a bully and a liar. now, haley says she will only debate trump or president joe biden. >> that's who i'm running against. that's who i want. that's at the end of the day. he's the front runner. he's the one that i'm seven points away from. he's the one that we're fighting for. there is nobody else i need to debate. if he's on that stage, i'm there. >> both haley and ron desantis have vowed that they're going to stay in the game, despite their huge loss to trump in iowa. >> developing news out of washington, where capitol police are looking into a threat against east bay congressman eric swalwell by roger stone, who is an ally of donald trump. the fbi is also involved in the investigation that cnn says stems from a conversation that happened just before the 2020 election. in a recording, stone is reportedly heard telling an associate that swalwell or new york congressman jerry nadler has to die before the election.

both men are democrats. in a statement to mediaite stone denied making the comments. >> the race to represent california's 16th congressional district is heating up, with former san jose mayor sam liccardo winning a major endorsement. our local governments need a national partner so that we are addressing these issues from every angle and that partner is sam liccardo. liccardo is one of several candidates vying to take representative anna eschew seat. a political science expert from sdsu says liccardo, along with santa clara county supervisor joe simitian and state assembly member evan lowe, are emerging as favorites. that primary election is just around the corner. >> march 5th and still to come. some of the passengers on that now infamous alaska airlines flight are now suing the airline and boeing. what they're alleging in a new suit. >> and if you are flying out of

sfo, get ready for delays in and out of the airport. how long those waits could be and no delays when it comes to the weather on your morning commute. >> here's how the next couple of hours break down. we do have over cast skies early on, but a brighter afternoon is on the way before rain returns. by the end of the week, we'll break it all down for you. coming up
