5:02 am
bay area. although we've got a clear fog free morning, you can see that sea breeze will kick up as we work and especially the late afternoon today into tonight, do expect the cooling impact from all of this as we do round out this next. 24 hours here. as for temperatures right now we're hanging out in the 50's 60's. even low 70's inland in brentwood currently berkeley year at 53 alameda. 57 while oakland at a cool 56 degrees later on today. daytime highs, as i mentioned, similar to yesterday, likely going to be a lot of upper 80's inland and upper 70's near 80's along the bay shore. as far as roads go, you would hope for friday light. but that is not necessarily the case. we are actually talking a pretty major incident on 101, northbound right now. this actually has 101 completely shut down just before you get to palo alto right around mountain view there. we do have confirms of a fatality there and all lanes blocked heading up 101 northbound. so my advice to you is either get
5:03 am
on 82 the camino royale or try to head on over 2 to 80 and head up that direction. both routes are completely unaffected. just avoid 101. if you're heading up trying to get up to the peninsula, particular burton bridge right before that intersection is where we do have that fatal accident on 101, northbound resulting in that complete closure this morning. bay bridge you're doing just fine at 7 minutes to make. you're crossing the san mateo bridge at 12 minutes. well, looking at the richmond, sandra fell at 7. and finally, the golden gate, only 19 minutes from novato to the tolls. rania. all right, john, thank you for that. a big story we're following this morning. >> donald trump became the first former u.s. president to be convicted of a felony crime. he was found guilty of all 34 charges in that hush money trial. basil, john is in new york city with more on this historic moment.

5:07 am
our favor and had we been about a month later than this, it would better tremendously different story. fire crews were able to contain the fire to the barn. a spokesperson for petaluma egg farm says. >> the barn was recently remodeled and wasn't being used. yes, that's a really so everybody's okay. and it was just the bar and the structure itself and the chickens. a veteran coal bit the last couple >> so yeah, they need a break. >> fire crews remain here at the farm to investigate the cause of the fire. the family that runs pedal in egg farm is working with investigators trying to figure out if this was arson or an accident. i'm sara stinson reporting in petaluma kron. 4 news. >> happening now in napa county and overturned trailer is blocking a road in the pope valley community. hazmat crews been on the scene since last night. the trailer dumped 800 gallons of a liquid fertilizer on how milton road around 8 5.45 no one was injured in the wreck. firefighters are monitoring the same pretty

5:11 am
the state at 60 days and every 30 days thereafter they would have to declare where they stand on a rate filing that accountability. that's good for everyone. as the governor has proposed a plan that is not going to get homeowners access to more coverage and affordable price. but carmen bill burr with the group consumer watchdog thinks the proposal gives away too much. what the governor has proposed will tie the hands of the insurance commissioner and reviewing rate hikes and cut public participants out of the process. and that is guaranteed to lead to higher unjustified rates for california homeowners. now it'll be up to state legislators to decide whether to include the governor's insurance proposal as it stands or change it when approving this year's budget. dan kerman kron, 4 news. still ahead the kron. morning news, a former bay area professor has been sentence for arson. that happened during a major wildfire. >> and a solar project in the east bay could be saving you money over the next few years.

5:17 am
our north and the system clips right past us, creating just enough limb or a lyft in just enough to push in some cool ocean air into the bay tonight into tomorrow. and that does result in a cooler weekend before another warm up into next week. so a bit of a dip back down to comfortable. and then we're back down to the heat. you can see winds are very relaxed this morning, but that sea breeze kicks up into our late afternoon and overnight hours tonight, resulting in friday night into cast. there's your fog streaming back into the bay as we move into your friday night. as for today, though, we've got the clear start. weve got yet another warm one with daytime highs expected to range anywhere from the 50's and 60's at the coast. 70's and 80's along the bay shore to some upper 80's for our inland areas. again, south bay temperatures just a couple degrees cooler than yesterday and some cases while the east
