into work today, so not complaining. we certainly will take it and the only issue with mass transit that we've had so far today was some earlier emergency track repair with b.a.r.t. that is long gone at this point. just a reminder you can watch the st. patrick's day a week early, that's going to air tomorrow right here on abc7. if you want to actually go to the festivities, caltrain not a bad idea. northbound weekend service will drop you at 4th and king and then golden gate ferry will be adding extra trips from larkspur. you can also use that service from sausalito to get to the parade. let's check in with meteorologist mike nicco. news is getting better all the time for lake port. clear lake still at -- in a flood warning but notice the current stage. 8.92 feet, that's below flood stage of 9 feet and the warning is supposed to end at 11:00 this morning. at the beginning of the show we showed you a beautiful colorful sunrise from san jose. exploratorium camera from pier 15 said, not so fast, sunrises are any specialty.

beautiful one, isn't it? sunshine late today, looking at a weak storm wednesday. here's a look at what's setting up over top of us. high pressure and some southerly winds that will bring warm weather in. in the upper parts of the atmosphere, you see the winds coming out of the north and you see a clearing late this afternoon from north so south so we're starting off cloudy and ending up sunny and temperatures hanging out in the 60s and 70s for the better part of the weekend. look how much warmer than average we're going to be in oakland. 6 4 versus 73 by sunday. and our average in san jose, 67, will be 75 sunday. this warmth will gleed into the sierra also so good thing we have that huge, understatement, base of snow up there because our average high is 48. will be in the low 50s today, upper 50s saturday and sunday. make sure you take the sunscreen. you will get a lot of reflection off that snow. warmest monday at 60 and then you can see a cooling trend but it looks pretty dry other than a shower possible wednesday and that's the same time frame we're

looking at for some wet weather in our neighborhoods, especially across the north bay. temperatures will top out in the mid to ep upper 70s. let's take more about what's going on up in the sierra. here's alexis. it's the toyota tahoe report and good thing we've got those really healthy base totals because yeah, with the sun and warmer temperatures, we lost a couple inches yesterday at squaw alpine. down to 150. i don't think we have anything to worry about. and that means that traveling conditions are going to be great the next, really, week or so, at least. 89, no chain restrictions, no chains for 50 either. but we do still have traffic going one way in each direction right around bridal veil falls where we have that road damage. sugar bowl, looking great there for sierra and kirkwood as well. no chain restrictions anywhere heading to the sierra, just those lemations on 50. a lot of us have bundle tv so that includes internet and phone service but what happens

delta airlines will pay a $90,000 fine for not offering passengers any food during long tarmac delays. it stems from four flights last year on the east coast. federal rules require passengers to get food and water if they're kept on the tarmac longer than two hours. a judge found delays on all four flights exceeded that limit. delta says it regrets the distribution of snacks was not ideal. >> and that is corporate speak for, we messed up. and this is corporate speak for, we're changing things. macy's is going to now have possibly fewer employees. it's testing self-service systems in its shoe departments and beauty counters. the company says they're reacting to customer habits. they say many people don't even want help getting shoes or make-up anymore. >> who are those people? >> that's the only time i really

need help. >> show me anyone. >> the new system is modeled after discount retailers like tj maxx and nordstrom rack. dave from san francisco has a question about his phone service. he spoke to us at our ask finney event in daly city. >> my question is, i bought a bundle, and i don't need the phone service so i'm trying to get out of it. >> hey, dave, i got some pretty bad news for you. you're probably not going to get out of it. most bundled services include video, phone, and internet and even if you don't want one of the three, you bought a bundle. a bundle of three. now, generally, people tell me they don't need or want the phone service but often, if you take that out of the package, you pay more for the remaining video and internet, so it doesn't pay to change what you have. that said, it never hurts to ask. dave, good luck, and thanks for the question.

here's a quick check of the one green spot, once you get past the crash and heading towards the mid span where that heavier traffic is. the chp says a freeway shooting that caused this huge backup on interstate 80 in the east bay was a targeted shooting. sky7 shows the shattered window of a honda minivan. it happened at the start of the afternoon commute and it forced the closure of that freeway for hours. the man and woman inside the honda were both hit. his gunshot wounds were so critical, as you can see there, an air ambulance had to land on the freeway to take him to a trauma center. the motive for the shooting is still unclear. a good samaritan driving that red volvo stopped to help the victims. >> we had some great witnesses call 911, provide us with description of the suspects and the vehicle. >> sky7 was overhead as richmond police stopped a silver dodge charger on 17th street.

the car matched the same description given by witnesses. three men were detained in connection though this incident. the chp doesn't know if the latest shooting is connected to a string of other freeway shootings this year alone. >> the shooting caused rush hour chaos late into the night. sky7 showing the backup that stretched for miles, drivers just going nowhere, some for several hours and the detours weren't working either. >> we tried rerouting but it's bad. >> we are sitting like two hours. >> what a nightmare. interstate 80 reopened around 9:00 last night after a five-hour closure. we sent out a push alert when 80 finally reopened. be the first to know when breaking news happens where you live, go ahead and download the abc7 news app and enable push alerts. gdeveloping news from santa clara where an investigation is underway. we can show you where officers responded on a map here. it happened late yesterday. the caller said his son, a man in his 20s, was acting stranger.

the threat came in just before noon yesterday. police evacuated everyone to a nearby church. officers and bomb sniffing dogs swept the building. they found nothing and this threat is very similar to threats made against jewish community centers across the country over the last month, including several in the bay area. the director of the fbi was on capitol hill to discuss national security issues and there are quite a few of them, including president trump's claims of wiretapping by president obama. sources tell abc news that fbi director james comey has unsuccessfully implored the justice department to refute president trump's unsubstantiated claims about president obama. democratic and republican lawmakers are demanding proof of those scloesive allegations. in fact, two senators sent a letter to the justice department demanding the fbi show some evidence. following a closed door briefing with comey, senator mark warner said, i've seen no evidence. and happening now, more states joining hawaii's challenge of president trump's revised travel ban. new york, massachusetts, oregon,

the draught. you're going to see the evidence on this map. only 1% remains of the category of severe drought and that is the dark orange color you see at the bottom of the screen. let's do a side by side comparison. you see this year compared to last year. and what a difference. last year, virtually every part of the california was in some form of drought. what a dramatic difference. hi, everybody. temperatures down in the south bay from 50 in alum rock and santa clara, saratoga to 56 in los gatos, san jose right in the middle. it's not clear but it's cooler on the coast. 47 at half moon bay. here's the way it looks from our east bay hills camera. little hazy but not as much fog this morning because of the high clouds kept it from developing. tree pollen is going to be high today. uv index is going to be a little lower, moderate. temperatures 63 to 66 coast into san francisco, around the bay, 69 to about 71, inland about 70
