commute. look at how little rainfall. less than 1/10 inch for this model. the storm's going to bring powder, not cement. look at the temperatures in the 30s, 2 to 4 inches tomorrow and 3 to 5 sunday up in tahoe but today, getting up there ought to be pretty easy. we'll ask alexis in just a second. first i want to show you the accuweather 7 day forecast where, look at that, mid 60s next week. give us some good news about the travel times t. it is the toyota tahoe report and travel today going to be easier than it was yesterday. mike is right about that. we don't have any chain restrictions in place right now so squaw alpine 138 to 243 base. the drive times not bad at this early hour but with the good conditions, i think a lot of folks heading up this afternoon and evening. i did put yellow traveling conditions if you're traveling to heavenly and using u.s. 50 because we are down to one lane in each direction around bridle

insurance company and giving it a pitch. here's the basic rule of thumb. damage from falling water is covered by your homeowners insurance. damage from rising water is not. that's generally flooding and you need flood insurance. however, there is a lot of exceptions, a lot of details, so always call, always try to file the forms, and have them say no. thanks a lot for your question. >> today, michael finney will be in san jose to answer flood survivors questions about how to file claims, find a contractor, and move on. he's going to be at james lick high school in san jose from noon to 7:00 with a team of consumer experts. if you can't make it out there today in person, you can also ask your questions online, use #askfinney. and while you're there, flood survivors might want to ask mime michael about reducing property taxes. homeowners with more than $10,000 in damage can get temporary tax relief. they need to go to the santa clara county assessor's office website, download a form from

the disaster relief section and we do have a link to that site on our app and also on abc7news.com. a bay area photographer is asking everyone to share a photo -- it's not this one. definitely not this one. but in any case, i think we have it. >> can we pull it up full? >> we don't have the story. that makes the story real hard to tell. >> we'll share it on social media for you. a woman named angie wilson saw a couple getting engaged two weeks ago at the palace of fine arts. really cute photo. >> let's recreate it. it looked a little bit like this. >> she's trying to find it. hopeful hopefully we can get them found. >> there was a guy in the background playing violin. it was real sweet. next at 6:30, b.a.r.t. says it needs more money. and gang raids in santa cruz erupt into a huge dispute between police and federal immigration officials.

the coast. low to mid 50s under a mostly sun nooip ski from noon through 4:00. and grab a coat this evening, dry through 7:00 but mid up t r to -- upper 40s. mostly friday light this morning. we did have an earlier issue. that was eastbound 580 just past the toll plaza on the richmond side of the richmond-san rafael bridge. that's where we had a rollover crash. that sig alert was cancel md around 6:00 a.m. and you can see, no delays at this point. so that really thinned out very quickly with that friday light traffic that mike was just talking about. walnut creek, southbound 680 starting to fill in a little bit. certainly some brake lights at this point. we'll take a look at the bay bridge commute coming up. all right. brace yourselves, b.a.r.t. riders. b.a.r.t. is considering raising prices and cutting service, and it seems hard to believe because it seems so packed but bart says ridership is actually falling and it needs to make up the lost

money. abc7 news reporter amy hollyfield is live at the dublin pleasanton station. >> reporter: hi, natasha. the idea of cutting service is not popular out here at this b.a.r.t. station. these early morning riders telling us they don't know what they would do if service started at 5:00 a.m. instead of 4:00. now, b.a.r.t. says you may think that ridership is fine because you see crowded trains, but they're saying that the ridership is down 4% during the week and even more on the weekends. so, revenue is going to come up short. 15 to $25 million below what they expected. but riders say instead of starting service later, they should be going in the opposite direction. >> it would impact me that i wouldn't get to work on time. it's already fairly expensive. i think enough people ride it to where they could run it even earlier. i don't understand why they would need to run it later. >> reporter: b.a.r.t. is already set for an influx of money. property taxes will be going up to an average of $35 to $55 a year and that money is set to go

toward b.a.r.t. infrastructure. that's from that bond measure that voters passed in november but b.a.r.t. says it still needs more. transit officials will be asking riders this spring what they think, what would work for them, based on what i'm hearing out here, they're going to get an earful. reporting live at the dublin pleasanton b.a.r.t. station, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. i have no doubt. amy, thank you. it is garbage day in flood-affected san jose and when we say garbage day, we are talking about families that have to throw out much of what they own. >> the same thick layer of mud that covers the streets also covers their homes, both inside and out. abc7 news reporter matt keller is live in san jose. >> reporter: good morning, natasha and reggie. since i saw you about a half hour ago, there was a green vehicle that was parked right here on the curb. they have no parking signs, tow away zone signs all along this side of the road here on 19th street. that car has been towed. they want to make room for these dumpsters that are going to be coming in and they are going to

be delivering them there. we have another tow truck here that is driving along. they'll be looking for more vehicles along the street here so if you are parked where there is a no parking sign, my advice, the tow trucks are out right now so you want to move it and make sure that your car is somewhere where there's not a dumpster that's going to be delivered. here's all the stuff they're going to be putting into that dumpster. the toxic flood water ruined almost everything it touched. experts in the clean-up business say this is dangerous work. first they have to pump out the water and then clear out the debris. >> it's highly contaminated. you know a lot of people i'm seeing oil, paint, you know, toilets are flooded out so there's, you know, tons of sewage. personal protective wear is mandatory out here. respirators. so we're attacking it as a hazardous waste. >> reporter: yeah, something i've heard a lot out here, let the professionals do their job. being in the homes that were flooded can be bad for your health. lot of people are staying with friends and family until they can clean up and do the repairs

but if you are parked down the street in these neighborhoods and they do tow your car to make room for the dumpsters, don't worry, you will not be charged. all you have to do is call the city and they will tell you where your car is at and you will not have to pay for it. people who still need overnight shelter will be able to move to alum rock youth center starting today. that is next to james lick high school. they will be closing the shelter along with evergreen valley high. they need to close to get ready for students to come back to class on monday. evacuees could be out of their homes for weeks, even months. officials admit it may be tough for everyone to find a place to stay in this tough housing market. tomorrow the city is opening a local assistance center at shirakawa community center on lucretia avenue. it's going to be a multiagency one-stop shop for people who need help. advocates, insurance providers and emergency experts are going to be there. that center will be open from 9:00 to 4:00 this weekend and

8:00 to 6:00 on weekdays. if you would like to help the flood victims, it's very easy to dae nate. all you have to do is pick up your phone and text the words "red cross" to 90999. that will automatically make a $10 donation and it will show up on your phone bill. the red cross also needs volunteers. so for information on how to apply and how to donate, go to our abc7 news app or our website at abc7news.com. happening now, the alameda county coroner's office is working to confirm the identity of a female body found along a fremont creek. authorities say a man walking his dogs found the body along alameda creek around 5:30 last night. they're trying to determine if it's the body of a young whom who washed her car into the creek last month. the sheriff's office has notified the family of 18-year-old jayda jenkins about the discovery. you may remember numerous searches were launched to find her body following this crash. officials say the body appears to have been in the water and exposed to the elements for some

time. federal immigration officials are shooting down claims this morning that they duped santa cruz police about the real intent of a recent raid on gang members. homeland security say that police were told in advance they would detain any foreign nationals encountered in last week's raid in that sanctuary city. they denied the police chief's claim that the raids intentionally targeted undocumented immigrants. the chief says his department was misled. >> this has violated the trust of our community and we cannot tell you how disappointed we are by the betrayal of the department of the homeland security and we will not collaborate are law enforcement agencies that we ourselves cannot trust. >> federal agents say ten suspected gang members were arrested in raids in santa cruz, daly city, and watsonville. another 11 detained for immigration violations. ten of them have been released. law enforcement agencies across the state are mourning the los of a sheriff's deputy.

permeated our government for a long time. they can't even find the leakers within the fbi itself. classified information being given to media that could have a devastating effect on u.s. find now. and this all comes one day after reports of the fbi refusing the white house's request to knock down recent trump/russia stories. his latest tweet is this. i will be going to cpac. and that conference already underway. the conservative political action conference in maryland, and donald trump, president trump, expected to speak at 7:20 our time later this morning. i haven't seen him yet. not sure if he's there quite yet but he will be speaking laiter. back to you. all right, let's talk about what's going on clear lake. still flooding. flood stage 9 feet, still at about 10.5 and it's going to continue to flood until about 2:00 sunday. now the showers we have this weekend will not add to the stichgs. they'll be too light and

sporadic. look at these mid 30s in the south bay. milpitas at 40. there's some areas of frost down there too. i saw one santa clara neighborhood, 32 degrees, same temperature in danville and also in lafayette, we're about 33 in sebastopol, much warmer in san francisco, 46, 4 # but 36 in half moon bay. speaking of half moon bay today, not as breezy as yesterday. the rest of us about 55 to 57. we are off to sunny colder morning if you're heading to mass transit and if you're commuting, still dry. tonight's going to be almost as cold as this morning so some of those showers could have some hail and snow. we'll take an hour-by-hour look at that coming up next. let's find out how the commute is with alexis. it's not too bad at this point this morning. i think a lot of folks may be making it a three-day weekend. of course the bay bridge toll plaza is packed and we've had those metering lights on since about 5:28 this morning so that is fairly average but i want to
