paula. >> and what a love story between she and 41. 73 years of marriage and her husband and love of her life, president george h.w. bush was there by her side in those final moments. and her sons, president george w. bush and governor jeb bush sharing powerful words about their mother. this morning we are also hearing from the other presidents, former first ladies, athletes so many around the world. the love is just throwing towards the bush family. >> she made such a mark. president trump has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff. there you see the white house today, a live look at the white house. of course, we'll have much more celebration of the life of barbara bush ahead. but we do begin with that deadly engine explosion on a southwest flight. it shattered a window and hurled shrapnel into a plane and killed a mother on board. you can see the twisted and mangled engine. >> here's what we know. there were 149 people on board. one person was killed. jennifer riordan, a mother of

two, seven others injured, and this is the first deadly accident it involving a domestic airline since 2009. our senior transportation correspondent david kerley is at philadelphia airport where they made that emergency landing. david, an urgent investigation now under way. good morning. >> reporter: absolutely, robin. some frightening, dramatic moments in that flight and this morning, investigators are here in philadelphia trying to learn is this a broader problem with 737 engines? for southwest airlines this is the first in-flight fatality due to an incident in the airline's nearly 50-year history. the dramatic emergency just 20 minutes into the packed southwest flight from new york city to dallas. the left engine ripping apart. sending shrapnel flying through this window and sucking passenger jennifer riordan partway out of the airplane. fellow passengers rushing to hold her, frantically trying to keep her inside the plane. >> somebody screamed and we realized what had happened when the window went out and so i tried and tried and couldn't. i just couldn't.

>> reporter: with the cabin rapidly depressurizing, the pilot tammie jo shults immediately takes the plane down, making an emergency landing in philadelphia. >> could you have the medical meet us there on the runway as well? we've got injured passengers. >> injured passengers, okay, and are you -- is your airplane physically on fire? >> no, it's not on fire but part of it is missing. they said there is a hole and someone went out. >> i'm sorry. you said there was a hole and somebody went out? >> reporter: with oxygen masks deployed passengers frantically texting their loved ones saying good-bye. >> a lot of flight time trying to articulate what i wanted my final words to be. >> reporter: as the plane lands in philadelphia passengers scrambled to tend to riordan who is badly injured. >> the flight attendant said would you please -- is there anybody here who knows cpr? i was out of my seat belt. these two wonderful men, an emt and passenger, they managed to get her back inside the plane and we lay her down and started

cpr. >> reporter: riordan, a mother of two from new mexico, eventually died from her injuries. at least seven others hurt. this morning, passengers we spoke with, praising the pilot, tammie jo shults seen here hugging some of them after the flight as a hero for her quick thinking actions. shults was one of the navy's first female pilots. engines in jetliners do fail but debris is supposed to be contained. experts believe in this incident the debris blows out of the housing with some of it ripping into the fuselage and that window. it is rare. the last death caused by an incident like this more than 20 years ago. but two years ago southwest had an uncontained engine failure in another 737. >> maybe they're related to that previous event and maybe they're not but we need to understand what's going on here. >> reporter: a saddened ceo of southwest says he is not aware of any trouble with that engine. >> we don't know the cause of this incident, and it's premature to even link it to

other engine failures that have occurred. >> reporter: now, parts of that engine that ripped apart were found on the ground 60 miles from here. southwest says that it is going to start enhanced inspections of its 737s immediately, robin, to see if there is a problem with any part of its fleet. >> people want to know. david, thank you. two passengers who were on the flight, registered nurse peggy phillips and marty martinez now join us here. first of all, our hearts go out to everybody that was on board, and especially jennifer's family, and let me start with you first. i know you're back home in dallas. 20 minutes into the flight, something goes horribly wrong. can you tell us what you experienced? >> yes, it was terrifying. there was an incredibly loud noise and the plane started shaking like i've never experienced before.

and i think we all knew at that point that something was terribly wrong. the oxygen masks dropped down out of the compartment and we all assisted each other trying to get our masks on and helping people cross the aisle. and i noticed at the time that there was a gentleman, a young man who was helping -- he was out of his seat with his mask off helping other people and i noticed him because it was just -- it was something i wasn't really expecting. and i kind of had him pegged for probably some sort of medical personnel but i didn't know that for sure. and you know, as this progressed and we did have the incident behind us, i saw him go down the aisle very, very quickly and i turned around to try to figure out what exactly was going on and there were a lot of -- the flight attendants were there, the -- jim and andrea, the emt were there, and i did not know the situation at that time. i knew something had happened,

but i wasn't sure what. and we tend to go, okay, there's a lot of people back there, i don't want to go back and make the situation any worse by crowding things. and -- but the minute they say we need someone who knows cpr, i got up and went back, took off my oxygen mask and began cpr immediately. andrew and i ran the cpr. he was the emt. and he was just the most courageous young man, and i think we had a lot of -- i don't consider myself a hero by any stretch, and i -- but there were heroes on that plane, and i was just doing my job. andrew was doing his job. >> you're being -- you're very kind but i mean everybody who jumped in such as yourself and others doing whatever could be done and, marty, the reason we know so much of what happened on that flight, you know, some people were reaching for their phones and trying to send texts, you reached for your laptop and you went facebook live. >> yeah. >> what were you thinking there?

>> immediately i knew something was going wrong, you know, between the first explosion that i heard and oxygen masks being deployed, and then i heard another loud, sort of boom, and that was the window going out, and once it started shaking violently, you know, it's everyone's worst fear, you know, at the back of your mind. we have all flown before, and you feel this turbulence, right, and in the back of your mind you always think is this the way i'm going to go and then most oftentimes you get to your place safely, and all i could think of in that moment was, i need to communicate with my loved ones and it was just very instinctual for me to think of -- to get wi-fi and as everyone was putting on their oxygen mask i was reaching for my laptop and think about this, you know, i don't know how many minutes i had left, i didn't know whether it would work and i'm frantically looking for my credit card and trying to punch in the credit card number so that i could speak to the

outside world, and then i came to the moment where i had wi-fi, and then to be put in that position where i had to figure out what loved ones i was going to reach out to, and in what order, and what do i tell them? and i just thought, how can i reach people en masse? and i immediately thought of facebook live and i thought this is -- if these are my last few moments on earth, i want people to know what happened and it was just the most terrifying experience. >> i can only imagine and when you're told to brace for the landing, and then you all are on the ground, i know that the pilot who is tammie jo shults who i believe is a former fighter pilot, and everybody on board just wanted to give her high praise in what she did. >> oh, absolutely. i think, you know, when we were

instructed to brace yourselves, you know, from a very frantic voice, brace yourself, brace yourself, i look out of my window and i see this city that was very foreign to me, i didn't know -- it didn't look like new york city, i was like, where could we possibly be landing? and i had no idea if we -- i felt like i could touch the tops of, you know, the skyscrapers in philly. what i now know to be philly and i kept thinking where could we possibly be landing, you know, are we crash landing in, you know, downtown philly? are we landing on a freeway, runway? and that was a terrifying experience. i didn't know how hard it was going to be. >> and then for her to come out and hugging like that and i'm glad you drove here from philly. you didn't fly, but, peggy, you flew home. to dallas, and the experience -- i know they are telling me to wrap, but just the experience, peggy, of getting on the flight and going home, and what is it like to wake up the next morning

after experiencing something like this, peggy? >> you know, the whole thing was a little surreal, you know, my training was awesome and i just did what i do and it kicked in. i did what needed to be done, what any registered nurse would do. this morning waking up, i can't say that i slept very well last night, i'm sure most passengers did not sleep very well last night. i'm terribly, terribly sorry for the family. my heart goes out to them. >> yes, jennifer. >> but i'm so proud of my fellow passengers and the flight crew and the pilot. >> well, bless your heart. i'm glad that you're home and, marty, thank you for being here as well. again, we're thinking of everybody that was on board, especially jennifer and the seven people who were injured. >> thank you. >> thank you, both. george? >> just an astonishing, harrowing story. we turn now to president trump who is in mar-a-lago meeting with the japanese prime minister. our chief white house correspondent jon karl is there

and a pretty stunning development. we learned the cia director mike pompeo, trump's nominee for secretary of state met secretly with north korean leader kim jong-un. >> reporter: this meeting happened in absolute secrecy, george. the highest level meeting of a u.s. official with the leader of north korea in almost two decades and it's an indication of just how serious president trump is about wanting to have that one-on-one summit with kim jong-un. the president is up and tweeting about this already this morning confirming that the meeting with pompeo happened in north korea and saying, meeting went very smoothly and a good relationship was formed. details of the summit are now being worked out. denuclearization will be a good thing for the world, also for north korea. george. >> hoping for early june, late may? >> reporter: that's right. >> okay, jon karl, thanks very much. paula. >> thanks, george. and more now on the life of barbara bush. she passed away at 92 years old at her home in houston surrounded by her family.

they were engaged a year and a half later, before he left for world war ii. he knew back home she was waiting. >> i would stand there and look out at the blackness of the sky and i would think about friends i lost, a country i loved and about a girl named barbara. >> reporter: when he returned they were off to texas where the bushes raised their six children, but tragedy struck when they lost their 3-year-old daughter, robin, to leukemia. >> you don't get over it. it's very hard to talk about her. >> i know. even now after all these years. >> uh-huh. uh-huh. but it makes everybody more valuable, george bush and i love every single living human more because of robin. >> reporter: while her husband planned a political career, mrs. bush was there by his side all the way up to the nation's highest office, president of the united states. >> i, george herbert walker bush, do solemnly swear. >> reporter: the woman with the down-to-earth style thrust into the glamorous role as first

lady. an irony she would joke about when she got to the white house. >> please notice the hair, the makeup, designer clothes. [ laughter ] >> reporter: as first lady barbara bush left her own mark promoting literacy. and after she waved good-bye to the white house, eight years later, a new chapter would begin. >> mother, everybody loves you and so do i. growing up she gave me love and lots of advice. i gave her white hair. [ laughter ] >> reporter: and her marriage, well, a love story lasting more than 70 years. mrs. bush a rock by her husband's side, also called the glue that held the bush family together. >> my dream for our family has always been they grow up, they get a good education, they would be happily married, or they would find someone they could be happy with, and that they would then turn around and give back to the country because they're so lucky and my dream has been

fodder, of course, for late-night comedians. >> we have a new suspect in the stormy daniels investigation. >> reporter: it's the sketch that has comedians asking -- >> it's either the mooch or bon jovi, i don't know. >> reporter: why does this guy look so familiar? >> which brings us to the internet's prime suspect, quarterback tom brady. >> reporter: stormy daniels and her lawyer shared on "the view," this sketch which they say is based on the memory of a man she says threatened her in front of her daughter in a parking lot in 2011. >> i just remember him saying, like, oh, it's a beautiful girl. it would be a shame if something happened to her mom, forget about the story, leave mr. trump alone. >> so, how come you came here today? >> because i'm tired of being threatened and intimidating me and trying to say that you'll ruin my life and take my, you know, all my money and my house and whatever, i'm sorry. i'm done being bullied. >> reporter: the adult film star saying her desire to tell her

story is not a publicity stunt. >> i hadn't heard your name until all of this happened and now you are literally live on "the view" giving an entire interview with us. >> yes, there is a lot of publicity but i didn't do it for that because this isn't what i want to be known for. as a matter of fact, i hid for quite a while, and it's overwhelming and intimidating and downright scary a lot of times. i've had to hire bodyguards. >> reporter: daniels famously received $130,000 in hush money from donald trump's personal attorney, michael cohen. now, for the first time this morning, we are hearing from a former trump world tower doorman who says he also received hush money for a story involving donald trump. dino sajudin was paid $30,000 from the media company ami, which owns "the national enquirer." back in 2015, after he offered the company an exclusive for a salacious rumor, he says he heard about trump. he spoke with george

>> did you believe they were paying you to pursue the story or to kill the story? >> oh, initially i thought -- you know, "the enquirer" prints stories so i thought they wanted to report the story. that's what i thought. but now, as i look back on things, it made sense to me -- makes sense to me more so they were pretty much trying to quiet me down. >> reporter: donald trump denied knowing about the payment to daniels an acknowledgement she seemed to take in stride on "the view." >> did this surprise you at all? >> let me say, i work in the adult business and i'm a better actor than he is. >> reporter: all right. so here's the bombshell. something we never see? donald trump responding to the sketch this morning, tweeting. this is what he tweeted. a sketch years later about a nonexistent man. a total con job playing the fake news media for fools. but they know it. why am i not surprised we would hear from the president via a tweet this morning. >> we want to hear from sunny on that right now. it's not all that surprising to hear that the president had a tweet. this is now the second time he's spoken out on this.

if you're his lawyer, you're not advising him to do this. >> you're pulling your hair out. if you're the subject of a federal investigation, the last thing you should be doing is commenting about anything related to that investigation. i'm sure his lawyers have cautioned him not to do it and he does it anyway. >> because stormy daniels, this whole case does pose a threat to the president. >> it really does. there's the salacious nature of it but the bottom line is, if she was paid $130,000 in this hush money, it's very important because we could be talking about a campaign finance violation, right? we could be talking about a payment made to her to influence the outcome of the election. >> and depending on the details possible fraud as well. possible. we don't have the evidence. >> possible fraud, and those cases are pretty easy to prove because they're follow the money trail, follow follow documents. collusion, obstruction of justice, a little more difficult. stormy daniels may very well be the person who takes down the president. >> it's really hard to know, though, what to make of the sketch. >> i don't think the sketch is very important actually because any crime related to the sketch, the statute of limitations is over.

but doesn't this make michael avenatti just brilliant? he drew out the president of the united states. the president of the united states is now commenting as the subject of a federal investigation. >> avenatti wants the president to talk. stormy daniels' lawyer wants the president to talk. >> of course, he's masterful. >> sunny hostin, thanks very much. what's coming up on "the view" today. >> we have james comey today. >> you know him. >> just a little. >> we'll be watching, sunny. all right, now the latest on that starbucks fallout. the former store manager would called 911 on those two black men is reportedly defending her decision, and abc's linsey davis is on the scene many philadelphia, and the company is taking steps to make sure this does not happen again. >> reporter: good morning to you, paula, you're exactly right. it is back to business inside this philadelphia starbucks but it's because of what happened here that the company has made this major announcement that they plan to close all of their stores nationwide. we're talking about more than

8,000 stores on may 29th so they can conduct racial bias training with their employees. this morning, new details about what may have prompted a starbucks manager to make this 911 call. >> i have two gentlemen at my cafe that are refusing to make a purchase or leave. >> reporter: leading philadelphia police to handcuff and arrest these two black men for trespassing last thursday. >> they'll both be under arrest. >> for what? >> trespassing. >> they're not trespassing. >> yes, yes, they are. >> no, they are not. >> reporter: journalist christopher norris said he spoke to the unidentified starbucks manager, who no longer works for the company, two days after the rest. norris says she claims the restaurant has an excessive loitering policy, and she had the right to enforce it even if it meant calling police. there is no particular criteria she shared? >> no, in fact, she described it as if she enforced this policy across the books. >> no matter what your race is. >> no matter what the race is. >> reporter: this as starbucks faces new questions over video of another incident earlier this year in california. brandon ward says he was denied access to a starbucks bathroom

on a southwest flight, a midair blast that killed one passenger, mother of two, injured seven others. the plane made an emergency landing at the philadelphia airport. david kerley is on the scene. hey, david. >> reporter: good morning, george. that 737 is now on the other side of the airfield here in philadelphia. part of the investigation. the question, is there a wider problem with the engines on these 737s? now, think about it. just 20 minutes into the flight out of new york and all of a sudden a lot of bang and then a whoosh as the cabin is depressurizing air flowing very quickly. it is chaotic because as that engine ripped apart shrapnel blew through an exit window and in the exit row. the pilots have to get the plane down low quickly, and the passengers trying to pull a woman who was partially sucked out of the window of the jet, and back into the aircraft.

one passenger started facebooking live and talked to robin earlier this morning about trying to gather his final thoughts. >> it's everyone's worst fear, you know, at the back of your mind we've all flown before and you feel this turbulence, right. in the back of your mind you always think, is this the way i'm going to go and then most oftentimes you get to your place safely. and all i could think of in that moment was, i need to communicate with my loved ones. >> reporter: jennifer riordan, a mother of two from new mexico, died from her injuries. seven others hurt. all praised the pilot, a former navy f-18 pilot for getting the jet on the ground here in philly. now, investigators want to know is there really something in the fleet of the 737s that is a problem? southwest airlines says it's going to start additional inspections of its fleet and for southwest, george, this is the first in-flight fatality due to an incident in its nearly 50-year history. >> thanks very much. we'll talk about this with our aviation analyst steve ganyard. you know, we know how harrowing it was inside the aircraft. the pilots seemed so calm but take us inside that cockpit. what was happening?

>> yeah, george, i talked to a friend who is a southwest captain, and he said, this is the toughest emergency that they have. you can plan it in the simulator, but until you do it, it's just -- it's not possible to simulate so you think about what's happening. all of a sudden they're about to level off, bang, fire light and confusion in the cockpit, the airplane is shaking and they're getting warnings to say descend, descend, donning their oxygen mask trying to do the fire in the engine and don't know if the plane is flyable. and the other part is you're telling atc to get everybody out of the way because you're flying through the most congested air space in the whole world. >> trying to find an airport and find a way to land. we have had an incident like this before just a couple of years back on a similar plane. >> that is he right. there was an incident with southwest -- same kind of airplane, same kind of engine. high time engine in 2016. lots of similarities here. the faa after that incident knew that there was a problem with

fatigue cracks in these older engines and have done nothing about it in almost two years so there will be tough questions for the faa. >> how do you explain that? because that suggests at least this might have been preventable. >> hopefully this is something different but if it is, this was a tragedy but it will be a particular tragedy if this woman didn't need to die if something had been done by the faa. >> we learned about other passengers who tried to put themselves up against that window to help the airplane. did that make a difference? >> it probably didn't. remember, when the airplane is at altitude, 33,000 feet, the cabin altitude is at 8,000 so if something opens, if a window opens, it's going to have a tendency, with the pressure differential, to suck things out the window. it was descending rapidly and that's what happens. >> that's what helps. >> you're equalizing the pressure and getting down to an altitude where people don't need oxygen so somebody may have been blocking and making sure that nobody got too close to the window but it probably didn't help after this woman -- >> incredibly brave of them to try. >> it was. >> can you just imagine, just trying to do whatever they could to try to make a difference and

about her and kitty dukakis and walk in and she said, "seventeen." why am i doing this? they can't vote but then the next time i did a formal again as opposed to just talking to her at events interview was when george w. bush was running for president and i did the first interview where she and laura sat down together for an interview and laura bush was nervous about this. this is her very formidable mother-in-law and any time i'd ask anything controversial, barbara bush would say, don't answer that, laura. i'll get in trouble. not you. >> so many people in public life develop this hard shell and get so guarded. she just decided that being blunt and candid was the way to go. >> being barbara bush was the way that she lived her life and in fact, soon after they left the white house, president bush said to me, the country loves bar. i can't get over it. of course, he loved her dearly and, in fact, our colleague charlie gibson told me that when he last interviewed george w. bush in the white house, mrs. bush was sick and he said

how is she doing and he said, i don't know what dad will do if she goes first but now we're hearing that he's standing strong. >> standing strong and she as she left taught us such a lesson. >> she did. she daughter -- taught lots of lessons through her life. living well, her literacy program is now in 12 states, 160 programs, really doing wonderful work. but now she's also taught us how to die. instead of being hooked up to machines and being assaulted in a hospital, she was home surrounded by the family she loves and saying the prayers that she cared about. >> amazing life. cokie, thanks very much. let's go over to robin. >> great to see you here, cokie. thanks. now to that incredible transformation, high school teacher andy bell shedding 100 pounds keeping that weight off even running the boston marathon on monday. we're going to talk to him live in just a moment. but first here's andy's story.

suggestion, he started running and in the last five years, andy has dropped 100 pounds, running 12 marathons, and becoming a more present dad as well.

so i left there thinking, how did you get i get to this point age of 39? and i got home and talked to my wife and she said one thing you could to relieve your stress and meet your goal would be to try running. she suggested doing a turkey trot, a 5k in our hometown in n new cumberland, and i said, that is the dumbest thing -- why would i want to run on thanksgiving day? it's football, eat, sleep and repeat. but she talked me into it and once that became the goal i started training. >> i know but the way you did it, one thing at a time. what can we learn from andy's story. >> you know what i love about andy's story. it's exactly how i counsel. when my patient comes i say i want to see your labs and i want to see the results from your physical assessment. when they come in, i'm looking beyond the scale. it's not just the numbers, how much you weigh. i'm looking at risk for diabetes, i'm looking at risk for hypertension and risk for heart disease. this is exactly what andy did. he said, i want to make a change. i want to be there for my family. i think that's absolutely fantastic. >> i love how you did it in one step at a time. this is what you used to have.

i'm jessica castro from "abc7 mornings." and today, the usgs is releasing a new study. it says the hayward fault under the east bay is far more dangerous than the san andreas fault. predictions from geologists are grim. they now believe at least 800 people could be killed, another 18,000 could be hurt in a magnitude 7 earthquake on the hayward fault. but for hopefully a little bit better news, alexis? >> yes, nothing quite that scary on the roads this morning. here's the bay bridge toll plaza, starting to thin out on that left-hand side. those metering lights are still on and the drive times have climbed, too, but overall, not many incidents. nine minutes across golden gate, 13 once you make it through the metering lights into san francisco, and about a 22-minute drive across san mateo

your doctor had decided she can't see you today. >> we would share a story and they would tell us, well, that can't be legal. they can't do that and we looked into it and we'd have to inform them, no, it is legal. >> reporter: that was three years ago. and now christa, jami and their 3-year-old daughter bey are working with the beyond i do campaign. the goal, it's to confront what they believe is a common misconception that lgbt americans received full equality along with the right to marry. and how many of their basic rights are still being denied. >> you can be fired from your job, evicted from your home and denied access to things like health care for you and your family. our goal is telling real stories of discrimination that people deal with every single day. >> reporter: in fact, in 2018 only 19 states and the district of columbia have beened discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing and public accommodations. christa and jami say that's not

"good housekeeping" style director lori bergamotto is here with princess inspired gowns at a really realistic price point. i love this idea. >> i know because who has the kind of money? we don't have the royal husbands so we don't have the royal budget. >> and you're wearing it one day. >> exactly. >> so let's start with princess

diana. >> so iconic. >> that dress, i remember interviewing elizabeth emanuel and her brother david who designed that dress way back when and i think it was $16,000. >> it was. great memory, my god. >> because i remember thinking how much that was so much money. >> had a 25-foot train, lara. i think you are seeing that at home and it used 153 yards of tulle, approximately $16,000 and it was 1981 so it was a different time, a different look. but we -- >> that look is kind of back so you've actually taken it and given your modern twist. >> so if our model, you can see on our model tia we gave it that modern twist, instead of a fairy tale storybook vibe by that bohemian fairy tale. this is from rachel zoe and it's $695 for an average dress would be expensive but for your bridal gown it's an amazing price. also, you know, diana's veil was

really iconic. it was so, so long. we skipped the veil but we kept the tiara because everybody wants a little glitz on their wedding day. this one is from david's bridal at $150. the average bride spends about $300 on accessories so we already slashed the price. >> great job. lori. >> thank you. that whole look is under $850. >> which, again, a lot of money but i guess when you're considering that kate middleton's dress, i was just reading, kate middleton's dress was $400,000. >> oh, it was $434,000. >> oh, my. >> so kate middleton's dress was designed by creative director alexander mcqueen, sarah burton, victorian inspired, satin and lace. can you imagine that price tag? it was unbelievable and it really started a moment because it was so iconic, but we were able to get a very similar look. >> can we call out our model? >> oh, we will. >> look at our model. >> may look familiar to you.

>> she certainly does to all of us. this is "good morning america" producer alana katz and future pride-to-be. she will be getting married this summer. she is wearing h&m and h&m launched this collection where the gowns start at $29. i know, everyone is really enjoying alana in the dress so they start at $29. this one which is very heavily inspired by kate middleton. you see the bodice, the long sleeves. this one is 299. it looks amazing then for the veil, that's from david's bridal as well, $150. >> will you turn around so we can see the veil. >> you can see the lace edge. >> we love how the look -- >> $598 for the whole look and don't you look like a bride. >> quickly, everyone is wondering what will she wear. >> we saw what her character on "suits" wore. you're seeing it. that was almost $7,000. anne barge. come on out. alexandra. lara, hold on to your seat.

this whole look under $100. >> that is so pretty. >> so we got the top as a body suit from azos and the suit is from amazon.com for $39. under $100. looks amazing. >> the details on our website. great job, alana, looking good. beautiful job, great job, lori. we'll be right back on "gma."

hi. good morning. we hope you're having a good one. i'm jessica castro from "abc7 mornings." let's go ahead and check in with meteorologist mike nicco. is it going to be sunny today? >> probably not. there will be some sun at times, where you may need the sunglasses, but i think the clouds will be pretty stubborn ahead of our storm that comes in later today. so everything's good for your activity planner. upper 50s along the coast, low to mid-60s for the rest of us. it will take forever for the rain to get here. and look at this, the clock goes up until 9:00. that's when we have a chance for light showers that lasts through about 4:00 tomorrow morning. all right, and taking a look at the commute, we had a problem on the bay bridge. we zoomed in just past treasure island where we had a disabled vehicle in the right lane. that was cleared quickly, but we have residual delays coming into san francisco. and drive times, a few slight delays out there.
