and got a little bit of the pollen off the car. here's a look at live doppler 7. a little bit of fog or low visibility along the coast and kind of spilling through the san bruno gap to sfo. when those flight arrival delays are announced, i'll put it on twitter, @mikeniccoabc7. mild this morning, temperatures in the low to mid 50s, but with it being dry by lunch, already in the low to mid 60s with mid to upper 60s this afternoon and back in the 70s at 7:00. taking a look at the bay bridge toll plaza, of course those metering lights on for just over half an hour. pretty minor issue just past the metering lights, just west of there. sounded like a minor fender bender there between a truck and a smaller vehicle and they have cleared that from the scene so we don't have any current blocking issue and that is looking better. southbound 680, highway 4 to walnut creek, just 7 minutes. 29 minutes westbound 24. i think it's probably a little

worse than that due to a crash in the orinda area and westbound 580, tracy to dublin, you're at 46 minutes. update on that crash coming up next. happening now, crews working to repair two water main breaks that popped up overnight in san francisco. they are miles apart. they do not seem connected. let's get right to amy hollyfield live in the mission district. >> reporter: hi, natasha. look at and listen to this work going on right behind me right in front of several homes. this is on mission street near college avenue. they are working to repair one of two mains that ruptured overnight. here's what it looked like when it broke. this is a 4-inch pipe from the 1930s. they have shut off the water but one side of this block. now take a look at the other water main break. they are not related. crews are working at santos and velasco and they have shut the water off there for a couple of blocks while they work on an 8-inch break.

that pipe is from the '40s. they're also dealing with water flow at bay shore and lois lane break. this is a water valve break. that repair is a lower priority. a very busy night, though. they think the weather could be to blame. >> over the past couple of days, we've seen some dramatic shifts in temperature, cold, warm, and as those older pipes expand and crack, they're brittle and then they just break. >> reporter: the work here is very loud. they've been at it here on mission street since 4:30 this morning. i asked why couldn't this be postponed. they even had to wake people up to move their cars. they said when the water is shut off, they can't wait. they have to work now to get it turned back on as soon as they can. they think they're going to be out here for another four hours is what they're estimating. so probably no showers or coffee for the people living here on mission. reporting live in san francisco,

amy hollyfield, abc7 news. rough morning. thank you, amy. we are tracking developing news out of washington and the president's trillion dollar budget proposa which was just released this morning. it includes a $54 billion boost to military spending and then deep cuts to other agencies. the epa, state department, department of agriculture, and department of labor all facing cuts of at least 20%. the budget completely eliminates the national endowment for the arts, legal aid for the poor, and the americorps national service program. the cuts are expected to be met with strong opposition but the white house is defending the president's proposal. >> this budget just discretionally spending. what it doesn't do is add to the budget so you're looking at adding $54 billion to defense, adding to border enforce mment, law enforcement generally. >> the white house budget director says the president

wrote this budget based on his campaign promises. the budget must pass the and get 60 votes in the senate. a second federal judge has blocked president trump's revised travel ban. he has executive order prohibits refugees and citizens of six predominantly muslim countries from entering the u.s. the decision claims the ban discriminates against muslims and is unconstitutional. >> we've seen now our two attempts at a muslim ban. it is so important that c.a.r.e., asian law caucus, the organizations that work on these things but also everyday people coming to the protests continue to do so. >> a federal judge in hawaii blocked the ban base on those same grounds t. revised version was supposed to go into effect at midnight. trump has vowed to take this fight all the way to the supreme court. so what is next? the trump administration can appeal it to the ninth circuit

court of appeals in san francisco. that's the same court that upheld the stay on the original ban. or now that it's been blocked in maryland, they can instead take the case to the fourth circuit court which is in richmond, virginia. if those courts don't give them the answer they want, they could take their appeal to the supreme court, something the president has said, as i just mentioned, that he is willing to do. well, we are hearing from the family member of a teenage girl who was shot and kill bid fremont police. the teen's cousin spoke at a vigil saying she was in the same car when police opened fire. 16-year-old elena mondragon was killed. mondragon was one of four people in the car during the confrontation on tuesday night next to cal state east bay in hayward. investigators say the car was stolen and two fremont officers opened fire after the driver rammed police cars. mondragon's cousin explains what she saw. >> i just heard gunshots and i didn't really think anybody, like, got hit in the carn, unti

going to go to see what our traffic looks like on this thursday morning. alexis, who say you? well, we've got a little mist and drizzle out this there this morning and looking at the bay bridge toll plaza right now, we possibly have a new problem between the toll booths there and the metering lights. it sounds like we've got a minor crash in lane 9 or 10 so that would be in the middle to the far right side there, in between there. not able to see it on camera. we are backed up through the maze as usual. and a quick check of drive times. southbound 680, highway 4 to walnut creek, 7 minutes, 38 minutes, though, westbound 24, walnut creek to highway 13, that crash in orinda and westbound 580,tracy to dublin, you are in the yellow. hey, alexis. hi, everybody. we'll start with the golden gate bridge. this bridge and the bay bridge, most of the drizzle has fallen on these two areas. 0.01 inch. partly cloudy and mild conditions this afternoon. little bit warmer than average. weekend storms going to be very weak with minor rainfall.

stronger storms next week with potential for healthy rain. right now, live doppler 7 just a little bit of drizzle out there. mainly north of the south bay. here we are at saturday, you can see most of the rain up in lake counties, down into the north bay. by sunday, watch and see if you can see any green dots, sporadic, scattered showers here and there. monday, that stronger storm comes in, heads for the north bay first and then reaches the rest of us during the overnight hours into tuesday morning so the morning commute could be the most affected by that particular storm. rainfall amounts, look at this. hardly anything saturday and then couple hundredths of an inch for the rest of us. don't cancel plans to be outside. about 1/10 to 1/4 inch monday. this is going to be bringing some precipitation up to sierra, valley rain and mountain snow saturday and sunday. showers rolling monday st. patrick's day th-- and then som heavier rain.

it prohibits refugees and citizens of six predominantly muslim countries from entering the u.s. the decision handed down in green belt, maryland, and it claims the ban is discriminatory against muslims and therefore unconstitutional. and that's the same reasoning that a judge used in hawaii to block the ban there yesterday. the revised version was supposed to go into effect at midnight. president trump has vowed to take this fight all the way to the supreme court. a federal judge is giving donald trump supporters the green light to pursue a lawsuit against the city of san jose. the suit claims police allowe trump supporters to be attacked by directing them to walk through a group of protesters as they left a rally downtown. it happened last june. the judge denied the city's request to dismiss the lawsuit yesterday. city leaders say police dna do anything wrong and were trying to maintain crowd control in a chaotic situation. this morning, a man is evaluation after leading police officers through a high speed chase. it all ended in a long standoff.
