chp opened the left lane. i think that was to release traffic there. i'll step away. we, i believe, have everyone getting off at alum rock, south of there. i will double-check that with chp. in the meantime, you want to take 280 to northbound 87. let's take a look at some of the video. this is amy hollyfield. she's been trying to get to the scene for quite some time. she's stuck in the backup, too. a lot of the folks were so frustrated and tired of waiting, they actually turned around on the interstate. not a great idea. but they were just desperate to get out of there. i believe these are the vehicles that were just released by chp. we do have amy getting set up right now. we're going to get more information shortly of the definitely want to avoid this. let's check in with meteorologist mike nicco. it's definitely soggy in san jose this morning as well. >> it really is everywhere for that matter as we talked about yesterday. the rain that fell overnight would lead to puddles on the roadways. we still have a chance of showers. that's why a 1 on the storm

impact scale. the amounts will be light. but it could come down in a moderate clip. maybe a burst if we get a chance of the thunderstorm developing. windy this morning. a little breezy. they will back off after 10:00. that's when the wind advisory in effect. one other advisory to tell you about. look at the swells of -- that means the breakers could be reaching 24 feet right now. creating rip current also. here's a look at walnut creek where we're looking down 24 right now where it is not raining. we still have the chance and look at how mild it is. mid-50s this morning. we'll be near 60 with scattered light showers at noon. scattered showers, a possibility of a thunderstorm at 4:00 near 60. that chance tapers really quickly during 7:00. it remains mild in the mid-50s. we'll take a look at more rain in the accuweather seven-day forecast. here's jessica and reggie with news. >> mike, thank you. back to the breaking news. the deadly crash on northbound 101. amy hollyfield just arrived there. amy, what are you seeing?

>> reporter: here is a look at the accident. it's an overturned delivery truck. the chp officer doesn't know what the truck was hauling. the driver was killed in this accident. they don't know when they're going to be able to reopen the freeway. they just haven't gotten there yet as far as their estimates. right now, they have reopened one lane. but that is just to clear out the backlog. the people who were stuck on northbound highway 101. everyone else right now is being forced to exit at alum rock. i believe we have video that we shot just a few minutes ago to show you just how stressed out drivers were. they were stuck in this. we saw people doing u-turns in the middle of congested stopped traffic. then driving the wrong way on highway 101 just to get out of the stopped situation. going nowhere situation that they were in. that's how desperate people were getting. right now the chp officer tells me the traffic you see moving

right now is just the people who were stuck on the freeway. everyone else exiting at alum rock. he is hoping in the next 30 minutes, he says, to open one lane on northbound 101 for all cars to be able to use. so there is some improvement here on the traffic situation if you absolutely must come through here. but the advice right now is to avoid the area. he has no idea when he's going to get this cleared and get it all reopened. whatever the truck was delivering didn't spill, but there is some diesel that spilled on the freeway. he's not going to have to call outaz-mat or the cleanup crews because the rain is handling that issue for officers. yes, a little bit of rain coming down, stopped traffic through here. it's definitely an area you want to avoid. as far as what happened on the accident, we're still working to get that information. i think right now they're focused on trying to get this situation cleared out. reporting live in san jose, amy hollyfield, abc 7 news.

meteorologist mike nicco joining us with his accuweather forecast. we'll get to that in a minute. alexis is going to start with the traffic that's fully blocked. >> yes, it is. we saw a little bit from amy 30 minutes ago. it was a little deceiving. they were releasing traffic that had been trapped behind that crash. so between the closure and the crash, there were a lot of vehicles that were getting frustrated. people were turning around doing u-turns on 101. hopefully that's over. this is still a sig alert. northbound 101 past mckee road. everyone else forced off at alum rock. if you're thinking about taking 680, maybe don't. we have a three-car crash before berryessa and we've been watching this situation on highway 17 as well. sound like a slide. a tree is down fully blocking the southbound side of the roadway on 17 just past idyllwild road and a van did collide with that tree. we're working to get a photographer or sky 7 there. a busy start in the south bay.

let's check in with mike nicco. >> talking about the wet weather. has the issues it's causing. you can see what alexis is causing. rain rolling through the south bay. from san jose to gilroy on 101. some scattered lighter showers showing up on live doppler 7 in the north bay. there could be lighter showers anywhere during the morning commute and during the afternoon hours of the we'll throw in a chance of a thunderstorm. that's why this is a 1 on the storm impact scale. we're going windy this morning and then breezy this afternoon. the fastest wind and the potential for more trees coming down up until 10:00. we'll back off that just a little bit. we'll still have the dangerous surf. the golden gate bridge, a few puddles. that's what you'll see this morning. it's going to be damp and mid-50s. it's going to be very mild today. when you throw in a little bit of sun as the clouds open once in a while. we hit the 60s. that's why we could have a stray thunderstorm possible.

notice by 7:00, everything starts to quiet down for at least one day. >> here's reggie and jessica with the news. mike, we'll go back to the breaking news. the deadly crash in san jose. northbound 101. amy hollyfield is live there with the latest. amy, any updates? >> reporter: good morning. jessica, yes. we have an update. let me get out of the way so you can see the accident. this is the truck that flipped over. they're about to try to upright it. the tow truck is here. so they're going to start working on getting it moved out of here. the chp officer tells me they're hoping to reopen a lane of northbound 101 in the next five minutes. so they're getting closer to letting traffic come through here. but right now, all traffic is being diverted at alum rock. actually, i think right this second i'm watching the first car start to approach us. it looks like this lane is about to open. so that is a little bit of progress. what happened is this was a solo vehicle accident. so there were no other cars

involved. so they don't have any witnesses. but they did have two people inside this truck. one was asleep in the truck. that person was killed. then the driver was taken to the hospital with very serious injuries. i asked the chp officer, what do you think happened. he said possibly the driver fell asleep. that's the theory that they will work towards as of right now until they can possibly talk to witnesses.r or find any but this truck is overturned here right in the middle of highway 101 northbound in san jose. so this area is to be avoided. at this point, they don't have an estimate of when they'll be able to reopen the highway. amy hollyfield, abc 7 news. we'll continue to check in throughout the morning. in the south bay, we're getting a first look at new overnight storm damage. also there in san jose. this is a tree nearly missed a house on east taylor street near north 15th street.

the large tree will need to be cut up and hauled away. no word on possible injuries there. meanwhile, in los altos hills, a tree came crashing down on a van overnight. covered boat or travel trailer. this is outside a home on bird lane. santa clara county firefighters responded to the scene about 12:30 this morning. we're wait to go hear back on this scene to find out if there were any injuries. also, weather likely playing a role in this mess. a fire broke out in san rafael when power lines came crashing down. a huge tree that fell on those power lines yesterday. this was at meyer road. the tree missed people, cars and houses. again, it did hit that power line and it knocked out power to dozens of homes. as we head into day 19 of the government shutdown, both sides of the political stalemate are still far apart. >> president trump spoke directly to the american people last night saying that the

federal government remains shut down but for only one reason. an abc news reporter, marshall is breaking it down. >> anything evident is the fact that both sides are exactly where they were last week. heels dug in and waiting for the other side to blink. >> it's not something the president has done before. >> my fellow americans. >> sitting in the oval office, speaking directly to the public saying the government should stay shut down until his border wall is funded. >> this is a humanitarian crisis. a crisis of the heart and a crisis of the soul. >> he didn't go so far as to declare a national emergency but urged immediate action and support for his $5.7 billion border wall. democrats immediately pushed back. >> this president just used the backdrop of the oval office to manufacture a crisis, stoke fear. >> the president's perception of the border often misinformed.

in fact, the number of people crossing illegally plunged over the past two decades from 1.6 million in 2001 to just over 400,000 in 2016 to 361,000 last year. the president stoked fears of terrorists pushing through. something his own state department reported there's no credible information that any member of a terrorist group has traveled through mexico to gain access to the united states. >> congressional leaders will head back to the white house this afternoon to see if they can come to a deal. live in washington, serena marshall, abc 7 news. serena thank you. in the east bay today, oakland police are set to announce a significant development in the search for the driver who hit a teenager riding a bike. 14-year-old carlos was dragged for several blocks last wednesday. a witness captured images of two suspects and their cars. he remains in critical condition this morning. developing news, police may be zeroing in on a suspect who

the state's 911 system. he wants to pay for it with what he's calling a modest fee. now, in august, the democratic lawmakers tried but failed to pass a surcharge on phone service to pay for an upgrade. a so-called smart 911 system would let people send texts, photos and videos to emergency dispatch centers. you are never more than seven minutes away from rain it seems like. here's a look at live doppler 7. san rafael, lucas valley, up 101 and the right turn towards vallejo, american canyon and napa. the latest update right there of a light to moderate shower right now. look how mild it is. we're still 61 in san bruno. mid to upper 50s elsewhere. some of the temperatures are a degree or two higher than average highs. all of us are around 54 to that 61 degrees. when we get sunshine, going to be warmer. kind of sticky this afternoon. right now, it's just kind of wet everywhere.

windy on our bridges this morning. got to beware of that. especially our east-west bridges. i barely had control of my car across the bay bridge this morning. it's surreal. for the bay, windy, then breezy. for mass transit, damp and mild. here's a look at the east bay. we have a chance of a shower at any time. the greatest chance along the east bay will be around lunch-hour. we have a chance of a shower just about any time until the sunset to the north bay. you have a chance of steady rain in the usual places in marin county. like around san rafael and larkspur and mill valley. for san francisco, going to be pretty cloudy with a random shower here and there through at least 6:00. you can see a little bit of sunshine tries to break out at 4:00 and once we lose the sun, we'll lose a lot of the instability that's going to create the chance of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. but we've got more chances. friday, saturday, sunday, monday and tuesday. the accuweather forecast coming up. bringing alexis in watching the

dangerous situation in the south bay and other areas. >> we've got a lot of south bay issues. i'll try to get to all or most of them. we have sky 7 through the south bay right now. hopefully, we'll get more info from them shortly. our main issue is a sig alert, deadly crash blocking most of northbound 101 north of mckee road. the good news is, within the last ten minutes or so, they reopened the far left lane. we saw that during amy hollyfield's report. one lane is getting by. they reopened the alum rock on northbound 101. things are slowly starting to improve. that being said, we have significant delays in the area. if you can avoid it, if you can delay your trip, i recommend that. what i don't recommend is taking northbound 680 for an alternate just before you get to berryessa. we've got a three-car crash still blocking the three left lanes. significant delays growing through that area as well. we have another crash on northbound 280 at 11. yet another alternate that has unfortunately a situation that's causing a slowdown.
