[ laughter ] >> she's very diverse. all right, let's take a quick look at what's going on outside this morning. for all the moon lovers throughout the bay area, take a look up out the window if you can see it. that means you are probably in an area that's not so partly cloudy. as we wake up this morning. all the way down into the santa clara valley. we're seeing mid 60s -- excuse me upper 60s -- i can't speak this morning. upper 50s and lower 60s for our daytime highs today. up near the santa clara valley as we

speak right now, we're just seeing the cloudy skies and let's head all the way over to what we can expect heading into the next couple of days because yet we saw over an inch of rainfall in communities like miraga over into san jose a half inch fell just yesterday. in the forecast for us today, here's our weather headlines. dense fog this morning and certain communities up in the north bay and a mix of sun and clouds into this afternoon and we're gearing up for a sunny beautiful day tomorrow. just in time for kick off the weekend in style. now it a kind of a breezy day for us today if you live along the coast. san francisco, not that bad. but if you live near bodega bay, half-moon bay, pacifica even, 20, 30-mile-per-hour winds this evening. so just keep that in mind. it will be cloudy and breezy with the sun and clouds in the afternoon hours today. more on what you can expect through the weekend because we have more unsettled weather around the corner. they're getting busy but usual stuff. jess. nothing like we had yesterday with the wet weather. here's a live look at the bay bridge and it's already backed up for commuters heading over

into the city. our east bay routes are feeling the crunch as well especially the ride on 880 through hayward and south 680 getting word of a crash near olympic. we'll see if it's causing any backup or blocking lanes and of course we've got the brake lights pretty typical here for supercommuters out of tracy getting on to 580 but other than that, not bad. all our bridges are pretty quiet with the exception of the bay bridge. which is getting busy this morning. san mateo bridge looks good as well as the golden gate bridge. fresh off his primary wins, president joe biden will speak to millions tonight in the state of the union address. it's really his chance to capture voter confidence as he seeks to take on trump. in fact, the president has become his party's presumptive nominee. as he faces trump in november. by the way, donald trump also dominated in his primary battles. in the next half hour, we'll have a live report from washington, d.c. we're going to drill down on how a presidential address is also strategic and really sets the narrative on issues like the economy and immigration and the wars in ukraine and gaza.

and what you will see on the debate stage leading up to november. looking live also in san francisco. where mayor london breed will also sell herself and her accomplishments in her state of the city address. that's later this morning. breed also faces challengers who want her out of office in november. so we expect that she will have more to say on big issues like public safety and also those initiatives that voters green little on super tuesday that address safety in san francisco. so let's drill down a lit bit more on those wins, our wilson walker has a story now that shows the vote count on police and public safety really has a lot to say about the political pulse of san francisco. >> i think there's a good chance we see a couple of changes and hopefully prop "a" can hold on and i think the d triple c candidates, 8017 and 19, probably have a little bit of mixing in the middle of the pack. >> reporter: even with some changes, it was a big night for steven buss, director of grow

sf and one of the architects of a string of victories for san francisco's moderate democrats. >> i actually don't feel like it was us that influenced the election. it was the voters and it was us responding to the voters. >> reporter: this set of victories, however, hardly the beginning of something for the city's moderates. this is now a pattern going on two years. >> you know, november 2020, we basically lost everything. and then we got the school board recall. we got the chesa boudin recall and we've got -- matt dorsey and brooke jenkins. and now we've got the democratic party. and we've got prop "e" and "f." >> whether you are the school board, the da, the democratic party members, they're throwing you out. and so the question is, you know, will the mayor and the supervisors be next? >> reporter: what can the march vote tell us about november? we ran into assembly member matt haney at city hall and the former supervisor offered a candid take on the election's implications, starting with the mayor's office. >> you know, with all respect to my friend, you know, asha.

he really went in on prop "b" and that got crushed. aaron, you know -- i don't know what aaron peskin's narrative is now if he gets in the race. now you have a democratic party that's controlled by the moderate faction. that are going to endorse all -- all the more moderate candidates in november. which means likely some trouble for connie. some trouble for dean. >> the grassroots campaign must mobilize. >> reporter: supervisor connie chan, a progressive up for re-election in district 1, pointed to low turnout. she also tied the results and the city's shifting politics to national political trends. >> i am saying that there are political opportunists that they are taking those trends and that they are taking -- political wins and they are grabbing on to it and turned that into something else in san francisco. >> reporter: does your group plan to endorse somebody for the mayor? >> we will definitely make endorsements for mayor, but we're going to wait until after the filing deadline. >> reporter: the filing deadline is in june. so still

plenty of time for everyone to let the results shake out and digest them, but it's clear if you look back over the last year that the trend, the course, appears to be set here in san francisco as the city approaches a very high-stakes election in november. >> so election officials still have to process and count more than 110,000 ballots and they expect to release the next preliminary votes this afternoon. links updated election results are available for you at kpix.com. developing in the middle east. the situation in gaza is getting more desperate by the hour. it's been near impossible for most aid groups to get in. according to the "new york times," many people have been reduced to eating animal feed to survive. and a growing number of children are dying from dehydration and malnutrition. one of the people working day and night to help is an e. r. physician from the south bay. dr. moe ha mad subeh who traveled to gaza a few

weeks ago knowing full well he might not ever return home. he shows kenny choi what he sees on a day-to-day basis and a warning his story, although powerful, might be difficult to hear and see. >> [ speaking in a global language ] >> reporter: the wounded, like this infant, desperately cry for help. dr. mohammad subeh is losing count of shrapnel injuries in a war he has never experienced until now. >> today was packed with gunshot wounds to the chest, to the face, to the abdomen, to the pelvis. >> reporter: before leaving the bay area in february, the emergency room doctor had only seen media images of civilians becoming casualties of war. this baby and little boy were found under rubble with no family to be found. >> you don't realize how dire the circumstances are until you come and work here. >> reporter: we pieced together clips in an interview cut short because of unreliable cell reception. subeh says it's a struggle at times to cope with what seems like an endless stream of unconscionable injuries.

>> i was called into a resuscitation bed. to a 12-year-old who had his brains blown out. and was taking his final breaths. >> reporter: the world health organization says fewer than half of hospitals in gaza are even partly functional. subeh is deep in the heart of gaza with the cost of war, piercing. >> i held an older man in my arms as he was -- he was crying at the loss of his wife. >> reporter: the former refugee, who grew up in the west bank, came to the united states when he was 7 years old. the stanford educated doctor is seeing this war through a different lens. >> the palestinians here have been so dehumanized. they've -- we've lost perspective at the -- the human dignity that each one deserves. >> reporter: explosions rattled

the field hospital in rafah where subeh is stationed in southern gaza. he says some have detonated less than a third of a mile away. >> makes you wonder what the rest of the world is doing. >> reporter: health officials report at least 20 people have died from malnutrition and dehydration as the call to allow more aid into gaza grows louder. subeh says he's focused on what he can control, but is at times immersed in the struggle between hope and despair. >> i think most of us would give up even if we lived a few days here. >> reporter: the u.n. says at least 300 health care workers have been reported killed since the start of the war. subeh left behind his wife naiema, his teenage son and 7-year-old maged in the bay area. >> i miss my children. and i miss holding them every night. >> reporter: it's a sacrifice his elder son ahmad told me he accepts and understands. knowing his father is entrenched in more than a

medical mission. >> ultimately, kind of remember our fundamental collective humanity. because without that, the world just falls apart. >> reporter: it's a humanitarian mission with countless lives and much more on the line. >> meanwhile, a hamas delegation has left cairo this morning after days of talks over a potential ceasefire deal. a senior hamas official said his group is demanding a permanent ceasefire. not a six week pause. without i real agreeing to that, hamas will not agree to a deal over hostage releases. israel says hamas is still holding about 100 hostages taken from the october 7th attacks. it's 6:12 on this thursday morning. still ahead, a major retail theft bust in alameda county. is showing just how sophisticated some of these operations have gotten and why police say the problem, it's creating more of a challenge

for them. shawn? >> reporter: gianna, this morning, we are talking about an industry that is almost 90% men. that's why one woman in the bay area is standing out for her career in construction. coming up,

all month we are celebrating the contributions of women past and present and during women in construction week, we want to highlight a woman standing out in the bay area for her career in an industry that is dominated by men. our shawn chitnis is live this morning in coupe tow know with more on how she got her start and hopes other women will consider doing the same in construction. i know nicole is already been inspired. good morning, shawn. >> reporter: well, gianna, good morning. it is an inspiring story and that's certainly the goal to see if we can get more women to follow in her footsteps and we're here at one of the communities by home builder taylor morrison that's the company that hired her and kept her on. the company even says they have more than doubled the number of women in construction jobs overthe last five years. and for this particular individual who is now in a leadership role here in the bay area, she has a very important job in that she gets

to have the last look and final word before a home is turned over to a family. >> i had my vest on and i went into costco and some guy walks over and goes, oh, you must be a crosswalk guard. and i said no. i build homes. >> reporter: adrea vladyka started in that line of work at a young age. her father was an electrician and brought her along on jobs when she was growing up. today, she represents the 11% of women who work in construction. >> this division of the bay area, i am the only woman superintendent here. so that's pretty cool. >> reporter: she's been in that role for about ten years and had to prove to plenty of men that she's up for the job. transitioning from the customer service side of construction, she loves to oversee one house after the other, getting ready for someone to move in. adrea wants people to imagine more women doing work like this. not limited to the sales and marketing jobs in the business. >> it is so rewarding for my

kids to drive through a community and say, you know, mom built those homes, that's cool. >> reporter: as a superintendent, her day is filled with inspections, making sure they are meeting all city requirements at each stage of the process. adrea says she had to work harder and be better to earn her spot in the industry. being detail oriented and a multitasker, which she hopes helps more women to join her in construction. >> this is not something that you have to be a male to do. >> reporter: she says a lot of women already have the mindset and the skills to do the work. but don't realize they could be a part of this industry where there's a common goal so many would enjoy achieving together. >> the end result is you are building a dream. >> reporter: and so it's not just about the jobs that are here on site at communities like this. adrea also pulls inspiration from the fact that the ceo of taylor morrison is a woman. and that the board that oversees the company is half men and women. back to you,

gianna. >> that's very cool to hear. they're building homes and building communities and inspiring other people to do the same. shawn, thank you. breaking down the barriers. taking down the walls. all right. let's take a live look outside on this thursday morning. it's clear now but yesterday we saw plenty of rain come down here in the bay area. >> and jessica, you are here right now as well. >> and jess, we've had some interesting weather the past few weeks here in the bay area. including something that was spotted in vacaville? we don't typically see. >> oh, yeah gianna if you live in solano county you might have seen this. it appear to be a funnel cloud. this photo behind me is showing the scene in vacaville. just around 3:00 p.m. yesterday. emergency officials said it didn't touch down and luckily there were no damage reports. however we also saw some lightning strikes due to the unsettled weather conditions that we've been seeing the past couple of days photojournalist jim flanagan captured this strike as he was driving along highway 87 in san jose. actually down in san jose yesterday and i could not stop just -- thinking about how

active these storms were and how no one up in san francisco would believe me with how crazy the thunderstorms actually ended up being. i mean we saw an inch of rain and quarter inch of rain up near san rafael a half inch of rainfall in san jose. but those thunderstorms were no joke down into the santa clara valley yesterday. i totally know what you guys were dealing with but here's what it looks like for us today heading into tomorrow. partly cloudy skies into the afternoon hours today and no chance of funnel clouds. in the friday forecast clear as can be. really what's happening is we're just awaiting the next weather system to move in and that happens into the saturday forecast as the cold front approaches. this is advancing the clock all the way into saturday just around 11:00 a.m. and starts up in the north bay and sweep throughout the santa clara valley into the afternoon hours and then we're left with drier conditions on the backside of it at least for a little bit. so what does that mean for us? giants' fan fest maybe keep the umbrella handy. the passing showers will impact us just around noon. it clears up into mostly cloudy skies in the rest of the day. but as we head into sunday, which by the

way this is your friendly reminder to set the clock forward this weekend, as we head into sunday we have more unsettled weather and i'll show you that just in a minute on the 7 day models. i want to talk about today though. beautiful conditions this afternoon. a mix of sun and clouds and low 60s from san francisco across the bay bridge over into oakland and you can see the bay bridge right above me right now. and as we take a look at what's happening for us throughout the rest of the day today, it's going to look pretty similar to what we have right now. clouds and light winds in our inland areas and a little bit gustier along the coast with max winds close to around 20 to 25 miles per hour. down into the santa clara valley we go, we're also talking about low 60s and let's take a look at the next seven days as we zoom out and show you each day we're talking about 60s turning into upper 60s by tomorrow. and then right back down to low 60s to head into early next week with unsettled weather lasting into mid next week. g? all right, jessica, thank you. let's talk about the freeways right now. just got an update from chp and we do have a trouble spot along 680 plus some brake lights along 92 also. so let's start there.

this is westbound san mateo bridge as you work your way looks like lot of people making their way from 880 over towards 101. that westbound commute here you can see all those taillights heading over towards 101. so things are certainly getting busy for that ride as you head towards the peninsula. okay, let's talk about 680. here's a live look from one of the caltrans cameras here, this is near main street. doing okay through here and we're not seeing it getting too busy in this area. but south of here let's talk about 680 near monument near olympic. that's where we've got a trouble spot looks like they've got a better locator for us near calaveras into the sunol grade a busy spot anyway for the morning commute. so we're tracking a slow ride there. so kind of the headlines as you head out the door this morning. other than that, you are good to go south bay peninsula, if you are headed out of marin county right now things are looking pretty good overall. not seeing a lot of brake lights or issues really just that backup into the sunol grade and travel times it's getting busy and crowded on 80 and highway 4. but you will check the travel times also once you hop in the car.

last night. nicole. the dubs showed their grit and ability to bounce back. they welcomed one of the top offensive teams into chase center the milwaukee bucks but it was the warriors who found their offensive click all night long. the dubs were scoring out of the gate taking a decisive 78-58 lead into the locker room at halftime. steph curry led the way with 29 points and rookie trace jackson davis had a big impact off the bench. scoring 15 points and snagging four blocks. it was a big win for dubs, 125-90 was the final score. the team is sitting at ninth okay. so there's hope in the western conference. all right, check this out. baseball and women's history month are blending together. sports video game mlb the show '24 will now allow players to play as women for the first time ever in its newest feature. a trailer for the mode called road to the show women pave their way shows you how you can create and play as a female ballplayer including a story that evolves with the player over the course of their

and right now on cbs news bay area at 6:29 in the morning, we're talking politics and you know every year the president of the united states stands in front of congress to essentially give a report called the state of the union. in nonelection years it's really a time for reflection and agenda setting but in election years like this one, it's a chance to stump for votes. skyler henry now with the preview of the state of the union but the strategy about the race that will likely be seen from the biden camp this morning. good morning. >> reporter: hey reed, good morning to you. and to that point, the white house says that the president has been and will be working on that state of the union speech throughout the day today. almost up until time for him to deliver it. so that he can get everything that

he wants in said remarks. we know that the president has his work cut out for him as he is trying to get a voter base that isn't enthused a bit more enthused about the possibility of him getting a second term. we know that millions of people will be watching as he's also looking to try to quell any of those concerns about his age. >> mr. speaker, the president of the united states. [ cheering and applause ] >> reporter: tonight, president biden will deliver his third state of the union address to the american people and a divided congress, just months before the next presidential election. >> the president will outline an agenda that is about continuing to build on the progress that we've made over the last three years. >> reporter: according to the white house, the president will touch on several top issues facing americans. on the economy, he'll push to raise the minimum corporate tax rate to 21% and to restore the expanded child tax credit. the president plans to push congress to take action to extend the $2,000 out of pocket

drug cost cap that currently applies only to seniors, to all americans with private insurance. he'll also focus on other aspects of health care, including mental health and reproductive rights. additionally, the president will be greeted tonight by a new republican house speaker, louisiana's mike johnson. the two have recently clashed over several major issues, including border security and funding for ukraine. >> president biden is going to try to suggest that the state of the union is strong. but of course the state of the union is not strong. >> reporter: alabama senator katie britt will give the official republican response. the president's likely 2024 gop rival, former president trump, also says he'll do a live play-by-play of the address on social media. so that will be some interesting counterprogramming that we are paying attention to from the former president. meanwhile, president biden will be drawing that line in the sand if you will looking to differentiate himself from his predecessor.

as we get ready for this state of the union addressing a little later on today. reed. >> skyler henry reporting live from our nation's capital. thank you so much and good morning to you. and good morning to all of you just waking up this morning on thursday and as we get a live look outside. much drier day today which is great and hopefully that will stick around for some of the weekend, jess. because i believe giants' fan fest is happening this weekend. >> ooh yeah. giants' fan fest is going to be awesome but i will say this. there's a passing shower or twos that going to impact it just around lunchtime but as long as you have the giants' umbrella to match the gear, i don't see a big issue with this at all. honestly. i mean we've also been dealing with unsettled weather pretty much all week long. so it's kind of just a continuous process for us here in the bay area. to see a light passing shower and then it clears up and then we see another one the next day and it clears up but here's the forecast for us as we head into the next couple of days. today and tomorrow, we are dealing with dry conditions. it's going to be gorgeous today and a mix of sun and clouds throughout the afternoon hours today. by tomorrow, we ditch the clouds

and we just see plenty of sunshine and then upper 60s in the forecast for us. and then the unsettled weather that i just talked about rolls its way back in this weekend. yes it will impact giants' fan fest but not a huge washout. a passing shower system around lunch and it clears up in the evening hours. here's today. we have gusty conditions along the coastline around 20, 30 miles per hour. into the afternoon hours near bodega bay and half-moon bay. lighter winds off into the inland areas. it's going to be a similar trend into our forecast tomorrow. the only difference tomorrow is we're seeing clear skies and those clouds move to the south heading into the evening hours tonight. we're left with clear skies in the forecast for us in the overnight hours and that means it will be a chilly morning for us tomorrow but at least it's a dry one into the afternoon hours. and we'll top off in the upper 60s in our inland areas and we're waiting for that system to move its way in as we head into saturday and that's when it's going to impact giant's' fan fest and any other activities you have outside but i'll time this out for you more coming up in just a bit. for now over to you, g. jessica. thank you. taking a look at the roadways taking

some of the bay area bridges starting to get busy. the usual stuff like the san mateo bridge as well as the bay bridge. things are a little crowded here and you can see in the live look. but the headline, the roadways are dry and that's a big deal for commuters because that makes a big difference for the morning commute. snapshot of 680 just moments ago near main street from one of the caltrans cameras and that's already getting busy but look at this. as i show you overview, we're actually doing all right on some of our major freeways. out of the south bay you are clear, 101 peninsula, you are actually doing okay. even north of there in the north bay, napa area. that ride through santa rosa not too bad. we have a trouble spot south 680 near calaveras blocking one lane and traffic is backed up here all the way to the dublin interchange. so that's a pretty slow commute there. a traffic reminder a stretch of highway 9 has once again shut down due to a mudslide. the road closure between redwood gulch and sanborn roads is expected to last through at least tomorrow. it's time now for a look at this morning's top stories. a man in san jose has been

arrested after he was accused of killing two people and injuring a third by firing into a crowd that had gathered for a vigil. it happened in mid-february near story and south white roads. police say a group was gathered there to remember someone else who'd died when the gunfire erupted. they arrested juan carlos perez on friday no word yet on motive. staying in san jose the city will kick off a series of community meetings today through march 22 z part of the search for the next police chief. residents are encouraged to share feedback during the meetings and a survey on the city's site. the next meeting is next wednesday. and the white house is throwing its support behind a bill that could ban tiktok. the u.s. house energy and commerce committee is reviewing the bill requiring the social media company to separate itself from its chinese based owner, bytedance. if not, the app could face a ban in the u.s. president biden already signed a bill two years ago banning

the app on government phones. all this pushback has to do with security concerns over users' personal information. a gilroy man is under arrest in a disturbing series of events that could have ended in a catastrophic explosion. just steps away from an elementary school in the south bay. our kelsi thorud spoke with parents who say they are still trying to process everything that happened. >> reporter: a bizarre crime spree involving drunk driving, guns, and a booby-trapped house, allegedly committed by a man who lives just blocks from this gilroy elementary school, has this community on edge. that suspect is now behind bars, but parents at this school say they remain concerned about security. >> i think the big problem was the lack of communication. parents weren't hearing much of anything earlier in the week. >> reporter: brandon einhorn is just one of several parents worried about the safety of their children in the aftermath of a string of strange crimes. allegedly committed by a man

who, just days earlier, had tried to enter luigi aprea elementary school. >> makes us feel like we're not doing our best job to protect the kids and maybe the school might not be doing their job as well. >> reporter: according to gilroy police, 46-year-old markus beck was arrested last week for a dui hit and run. as officers were arresting beck, they say they found a loaded gun in his driver's compartment and a loaded ar-15 in his trunk. two days prior to that arrest, police say they were called to luigi aprea elementary after staff said beck tried to enter the school and then loitered outside the building. >> when officers arrived on the scene, he'd already left campus. but lived very close by to the campus. and made contact with him there. >> reporter: after the dui arrest and learning about the school incident, police obtained a restraining order to seize beck's firearms. when they arrived at his house, police say it had been booby-trapped. the gas stove

had been turned on and the house was at risk of exploding. >> the gilroy fire department to secure the residence so we could continue serving that gun violence restraining order and as a result, the school was put on lockdown. >> reporter: thankfully, firefighters were able to clear the scene with no injuries. and the lockdown at the school was lifted. but brandon says the whole series of events has shaken the community. so much so the school held an emergency meeting last friday. >> i feel like they're doing the best that they can given the situation. obviously changes don't happen overnight. it costs time and money. >> reporter: brandon says the school has already put up a temporary fence around the campus. and has also added more security on site during the day. he says what happened here is a sad reminder of the threats out there and should prompt local officials to take more proactive steps to keep their children safe. >> it's easy to forget all these incidents that have been happening around our country

for years. until it hits too close to home, it's easy to be busy and forget that we need to be taking care of our kids and make sure they're safe when they go to school and they're safe when they're there. >> reporter: and brandon told me he has heard that the school is planning to put up a permanent fence around the campus here. beck remains behind bars, being held on no bail. well, look at this. video like this on the screen more and more common in the bay area right? we see this often. the storming of the business and running out without paying and terrorizing customers. it's a problem that's getting more and more coordinated and organized where we live and leaders are now pushing for a bay area bounce-back and they are tracking some success in tackling the problem. case in point look at this. alameda police busting criminals at one location they found more than $75,000 in stolen goods. john ramos spoke to authorities about how sophisticated the operations have become.

>> reporter: police tracked down the stolen merchandise at a home in oakland, but the investigation that led to that discovery started at this old navy store in alameda. they're not revealing the location of the home, but alameda police chief nishant joshi says the stolen merchandise was arranged as if it was on display for shoppers. >> much of the loss items still had its tags on it. they were on hangers. the operation when i say was similar to any other retail store, there were specific locations at this -- residence where specific items were categorized and being stored. >> reporter: aside from $10,000 in cash and several vehicles, officers recovered eight truckloads of stolen merchandise. much of it clothing. police caught wind of the operation after a february 9th mass shoplifting at the old navy store in alameda's south shore shopping center. the store's security team spotted a pattern of other thefts at stores in the center and was able to help police identify individuals involved and a

location of the dropoff point. >> we began to learn that loss from retailers outside of alameda, in other cities, was being brought to that location as well. so that further led us to believe that there was a fencing operation that -- where loss throughout the region was coming to. >> reporter: as seen on the "nightly news," retail theft has grown in recent years. but california attorney general rob bonta says it is a mistake to think that it's just being committed by people in need. >> let me be clear. this is not about one off thefts from stores. it's not about the occasional smash and grab. at your local big box store. this is about a multibillion dollar criminal enterprise. criminal schemes that are complex, orchestrated and incredibly organized. >> reporter: for example, recently bonta announced the

arrest of michelle mack, a woman who was accused of running $8 million theft ring sephora stores, selling them on an online shopping site. the fencing operation in oakland wasn't quite on that level, but then again, chief joshi says they're still not sure how far this may reach. >> i'll tell you this, we're not stopping here so it's only -- we want to go as high up as we can to figure out who all is involved and where else is this occurring, organized as well. tw enforcement, the business community, and the public must work together to fight a crime that's costing everyone a lot of money and putting people at risk. >> well, it's time now for a look at what's coming up later

on "cbs mornings" and tony dokoupil joins us live now from washington, d.c. looking dapper this morning. tony. >> hey, good morning guys and look, people are not used to seeing me in a tie and i'm in a tie this morning because of the state of the union address which will be tonight. that's the capitol dome behind me and you have the house chamber below. it's the third state of the union for president biden and it will be his last if he cannot win re-election. we went to the site of the very first state of the union in new york city to talk to people about what they want the president to say. and also how they feel the country is doing right now. here's a spoiler alert. not all that happy. we're also going to talk to some officials on both sides of the aisle and we've got the speaker of the house mike johnson, we're very excited about this conversation. what he thinks the president should be talking about. and where he may or may not be able or willing to help in getting things done and then pete buttigieg the transportation secretary will

[ laughter ] >> a little teeny bb. >> in her body. okay. that's interesting. there's a live look jess, take it away. >> no, i don't think i need to take it away and i think nicole needs to take it back. >> i was 10 years old. and it was my brother's friend and this is a really good, you know, public service announcement. he thought the bb gun was empty and there was still a bb in there and he shot me. >> i once shot my mother -- >> i'm serious. >> i once shot my mother. we

left with a mix of sun and clouds for our forecast today and only more better weather in the forecast for us by our forecast tomorrow. and then more unsettled weather into the weekend. so what does that mean? sunny skies tomorrow and rain returns into the bay area this weekend. but today, alone we're still dealing with some gusty conditions along the coastline. and anywhere up to around 30 miles per hour lighter conditions into the inland areas and mix that with some sun and clouds and that's our forecast for us today. of course with some upper 60s lower 70s right around the corner as we head into our friday forecast. it's going to be beautiful sunny mild and then suddenly we wait for the cold front to slowly approach us. it's still well offshore, this is out in the pacific as we speak but as that moves towards us on the models a light splash of showers with the wiper of rain kind of moving throughout the bay area. into the afternoon hours on saturday. now take a look at saturday's forecast, the graphic decides to go. and i don't think it's going to because it froze. there it is. sometimes we have some glitches. this is what it's looking like for us tomorrow. actually saturday excuse me, i wish it was friday today. expecting upper 50s this

weekend on saturday. planning on going to giants' fan fest. it's going to be awesome. passing showers around lunchtime in san francisco and continues to track to the south in the afternoon hours the santa clara valley will probably get hit closer to around 2:00 with some light rain and it clears up for the rest of the day on saturday. here's what it looks like for us today. upper -- lower 60s in the forecast for us this afternoon. we'll see upper 60s tomorrow. but for now it's still kind ofcool and cloudy and heading into our thursday forecast. this is what it's looking like for us tomorrow. how many times do i say upper 60s and i was really just hoping it was friday already. by friday that's what we expect with sun sunrise and cloudier conditions into saturday and sunday with the light chances of showers moving in from offshore. clear up on monday with more unsettled weather heading into tuesday of next week. now back to you. thank you. let's get you moving on the freeways on this thursday morning. because it's busy at the bay bridge. metering lights are on and that backup is in full swing and it's going to be like this for the next hour and a half at least. because now getting closer to the 7:00 hour that's

the busiest time on the bay area freeways on any days without the weekend obviously that's in consideration. taking a look at traffic here we've got a trouble spot across the san mateo bridge making things slow heading westbound working over to 101 and our other hotspot which is actually a positive now. just cleared a crash southbound 680 near calaveras. everything out of lanes but traffic is still pretty slow as you come away from the dublin interchange. so getting busy in those usual hotspots as you head out the door and certainly a couple of crashes they're making a little bit slower than usual in some of the hotspots. definitely keep that in mind. and here's a travel time from specific areas like on 580, 205 over to 680. or on the eastshore freeway. highway 4 to the maze. still pretty slow through there. you will get more specific timing once you hop in the car. nearly time to spring forward. daylight saving time starts this sunday and that means people will have to adjust their clocks forward one hour. now even though you will lose an hour of sleep. also gain an track hour of sunlight in the

evening. on capitol hill a bipartisan bill is being held up in the committee that would enable states to permanently switch to daylight saving time. the switch could take effect in more than two dozen states. now currently, there's nearly adonissen states have legislation in the works to switch to year-round standard time. reed? all right, time right now 6:55 in the morning. ahead a "mean girls" star reveals a very nice couple chosen as godparents to her baby. and by the way, ther
