today with a big catch. good morning on this wednesday, january 25. i'm reggie aqui. >> it is friday eve eve and you are here, i am here, natasha zouves, we have meteorologist mike nicco. good morning. >>. >> alexis smith. >> good morning. >> jessica castro enjoying the day off. let's start with you, mike. >> okay. let's talk about fog, why don't we. yeah, it's out there and it's pretty thick and oh just bumped up from mile to 2 1/2 at our reporting station in petaluma which means quarter mile visibility is moving somewhere and the temperature right around freezing so we could have some black ice on some elevated surfaces and that's where the thickest fog is right now. keeping an eye on san jose because we do have fog developing around gilroy, not as widespread as it's going to be tomorrow. here's a look from sutro tower. we're going to wake up with a lot of sunshine, little bit hazy because of the moisture in the air. low 50s at noon, mid 50s at 4:00 but back in the 40s by 7:00. almost a typical day for january. we haven't had many of those,

alexis. how about on the roads. >> well, yeah, i'd say we're looking pretty typical in that we've got a couple trouble spots, northbound 880 one of them. we have that seven-car crashes this is a sig alert, three left lanes are still blocked and a couple of miles of delay there, spilled over on to 238 as well. in the meantime, i'm looking for a crash within the bay bridge toll plaza there in the car pool lanes, haven't spotted it on camera and it's looking pretty average here when we check on our maps, i'll have an update on that. look at mass transit coming up in less than ten. remember the self-driving uber cars with all the equipment on top? they're back on the streets in san francisco. >> uber pulled its cars after getting in a fight with the city and state over permits so how are they able to allow self-driving again? they weren't aren't. amy hollyfield live to explain this morning. >> reporter: good morning, reggie. this is the warehose where they keep them. we haven't seen them roll out yet this morning but they are coming.

they're not going to use the volvos this time. you're going to see the ford fusions. they will have a driver this time. that is the catch. they will not use the self-driving function. uber was scolded last month for launching this self-driving volvos without a permit. now, uber said it didn't think it needed one because there was someone in the front seat who could drive if necessary. the city and state disagreed and said uber did need a permit. the cars were pulled from the streets. now you'll see them again, but this time, and they're going to be mapping the city and the dmv has said it is okay with that. although some think this is an indication that uber is still moving forward with plans to eventually use the self-driving cars. but not today. if you see the cars with all the gear on the rooftops, don't be alarmed. it is not what it looks like. the self-driving cars -- the self-driving function will be disabled. it is just on the streets for

mapping purposes. reporting live in san francisco, amy hollyfield. happening today, congresswoman jackie spear will hold a town hall meeting to talk about the possibly impact of the trump administration. the meeting is in response to the hundreds of constituents who contacted her office after the presidential election. it's being held from 4:00 to 5:00 at the little brown church in pacifica. this morning, president trump has tweeted that he's going to launch an investigation into voter fraud, despite the fact that there's been no evidence so far that there is widespread voter fraud. and that he will announce a supreme court pick next week. sources also tell abc news that mr. trump will most likely launch a crackdown on sanctuary cities this week, like, for example, san francisco. last night, the board of supervisors set aside $1 million to pay the legal fees of undocumented residents. during the campaign, mr. trump promised to cut federal funding from cities that he said harbor dangerous immigrants who commit crimes against americans. president trump is also threatening to intervene if chicago doesn't stop a january surge in shootings.

going to freeze so watch out for black ice in those areas until about 9:00. for the rest of us, freezing cold in san ramon but no fog there that i've heard of. 40 in redwood city and san jose, about 36. take a look at kroroyour tempers today. 52 to about 56, 52 to about 58 tomorrow. 54 to 60 on friday. in fact, look at san jose, our average high is 60. we'll get there saturday through tuesday but notice wednesday it starts to cool because our next chance of rain is rolling in tuesday. i'll show you coming up in the automatically 7 day forecast. >> we still have that sig alert working in the san leandro area so this is still on northbound 880 and now unfortunately we've got a disabled vehicle in the same area. that one's blocking the far left lane and then the three left lanes still blocked due to that multi-car crash up to 238 and as you can see, 238 is also slow from about 185. we also have a crash on southbound 680 and that is definitely heavy from 580.
