6:08 am
department of homeland security. the san francisco unified school district says it has a plan to protect students. >> all of our site leaders know that if an ice agent shows up at their school site, they need to immediately call our legal office first and allow our legal office to work directly with the ice agent to confirm and verify why and what is the intent and purpose for the ice agents coming to the schools. >> sfusd superintendent maria swease says people living in the city are fortunate. sanctuary city laws exist in san francisco. the district is partnering with the city and local nonprofits to help families navigate this landscape. >> in the south bay, a group advocating for immigrants has been on high alert. the santa clara county rapid response network has confirmed at least two ice encounters in san jose in the last 72 hours. they're encouraging community members to report ice activity by recording and documenting, but not

6:15 am
equity and inclusion programs amid growing pressure from the trump administration. according to the chronicle, stanford's president made the revelation during a faculty senate meeting last week. he said the university will review dei programs and likely modify or sunset them. almost immediately after taking office, president trump began targeting dei programs. he signed orders banning them in the federal government and encouraging the private sector to do the same or risk being sued by the federal government. the union representing uc berkeley's graduate students has been hit with a lawsuit complaining of rampant anti-semitism and discrimination. a postdoctoral student from israel at uc berkeley is accusing her own union, united auto workers, of discrimination. the suit accuses union leaders of violating the civil rights and state fair employment act. the union says they have not yet seen the lawsuit, but they go on to say, we want to make clear that there is not and has never been any space for discrimination of any kind in our union. we have always been committed to fighting injustice and

6:20 am
60s. that sunshine will feel nice later on this afternoon. now, overnight tonight, we are tracking a return of our marine layer clouds. so depending on how extensive they become, they may limit how cold we get because clouds in the winter time, it acts like a blanket. it insulates us and that would prevent us from getting too chilly. but nonetheless, we'll likely have another round of frost advisories and freeze warnings for parts of the region heading into tomorrow morning. let's talk about rain returning to northern california. we've been watching over the past 24 hours. yesterday, if you remember, some of the heaviest rain was around crescent city with the latest information this morning. now the heaviest rain is trending a little bit more to the south around fort bragg. if that trend does continue where some of the heavier rain continues to trend south, these numbers would go up significantly. but we do anticipate the heaviest rain to fall in the north bay through the weekend, with lower amounts to the south. when it comes to snow, we'll see lake level around 4 to 6in. this would fall on saturday, and our highest
6:21 am
peaks could likely exceed a foot of snow, so we'll see some sort of advisory or warning come out for the sierra this weekend. here's the accuweather seven day frosty mornings on the way through thursday. then rain is back here starting friday afternoon and friday evening. we'll keep those showers on and off through the weekend. it still stays unsettled for early next week, guys. >> all right drew. thank you. now let's turn to ginger zee. she's live with a look at what's coming up on gma. >> good morning ginger. >> hey reggie. amanda i've been listening very carefully to drew all week. and we too are watching that next pattern change and the drenching rains possible for parts of the north bay area. and how that might change things, especially for you all having such a dry january. so we'll get into that. but we are also tracking the very latest on the state that is at the center of an unprecedented outbreak. the largest documented number of tuberculosis tuberculosis cases in u.s. history. and rebecca is going to break down that new chatbot that nearly took down wall street. yep. it's called deep seek. it's the number one app in both apple and google's app stores. and i know i'm really interested in how energy efficient it might be, among many other questions. and then

6:32 am
get into the 50s. later on this afternoon, just like yesterday, it will be a pleasant afternoon after that cold start. upper 50s to the lower 60s. rain is still back in the forecast by the end of the week. we'll show you that coming up in eight minutes. let's check in with gloria for the drive times. >> good morning. we are starting to see more traffic out there. you could see some red here in our map. that means some more slowdowns. and we do want to tell you about one of those slowdowns. we're going to zoom in here, show you where that's happening. so we have reports of a stall on westbound 80 after treasure island. so if you drive on the bay bridge, keep that in mind. it's blocking the right lane, causing delays on the span from the tolls. and let's look at our live shot at the tolls. this is the bay bridge toll plaza. metering lights are still on and you can see the traffic really is piled up from west grand avenue, and traffic is delayed on the span because of that stall we just told you about. so from highway four to san francisco, an hour and five minutes. reggie. >> thanks, gloria. this morning, we're getting new details about a developing story. we've been tracking for close to 12 hours now. a deadly police shooting
6:33 am
that investigators say started as a shooting in san francisco's soma neighborhood. abc seven news reporter lena howland is live near ninth and mission with what police are saying about the timeline here. lena. >> hey, reggie, we are at ninth and mission, where the roads have just been reopened, and police actually just cleared the scene only moments ago. now, this is the area where police shot and killed a suspect, which they believe had just been involved in a different shooting only hours before. now, this all started right around 5:00 yesterday afternoon after police responded to the area for a shooting and found someone with gunshot wounds already being treated by paramedics. the suspect ran inside of a nearby building. police say they set up a perimeter and used special tactical and hostage negotiation teams, but they say the suspect failed to come out. that's when police shot the suspect before going inside. we talked to a witness who saw the first shooting unfold in the street.
6:34 am
>> i saw somebody come out of the building with a gun and shooting, like, three times point blank range. that looked like a hit, you know, more than a. it wasn't a random shooting. there was something behind it. >> after police made entry to the building, the suspect was found with life threatening injuries. medical aid was given by paramedics and officers, but the suspect died on scene. as for the victim in the original shooting, police say that person is still in the hospital with life threatening injuries. live in san francisco. lena howland, abc seven news. >> thank you lena. it's been a week since donald trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the united states. just yesterday, the senate confirmed the fifth member of his cabinet. >> the yeas are 68. the nays are 29. the confirmation is confirmed. >> scott bessent becomes the secretary of the treasury. he replaces janet yellen, who was once president of the federal

reserve bank of san francisco. three of trump's most controversial cabinet picks face confirmation hearings this week. tulsi gabbard for director of national intelligence. rfk jr. for health and human services secretary. and kash patel for fbi director. >> president trump signed four executive orders yesterday that reversed several biden administration initiatives related to the military. these executive orders also deliver on promises trump made on the campaign trail. and, gloria, we're told the president signed these orders while on board air force one. >> he did. and of those four executive orders, one ends diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the military. and two others really stick out. one executive order reinstates soldiers forced out of the military because of vaccine mandates. another will ultimately lead to a ban on those who identify as transgender. now, you may remember president trump implemented this policy during his first term. it requires transgender service members to serve as their sex assigned at birth, unless they've already
6:36 am
successfully transitioned. those service members could also be grandfathered in under an earlier obama era policy. lgbtq plus advocates here in the bay area are frustrated and say less diversity will hurt the military. >> the transgender community is has been attacked left, right and center for a very long time. don't give up because, you know executive orders come and go. but we don't. we are here. >> the order also requires the department of defense to update all medical standards, to, quote, ensure they prioritize readiness and lethality. it also ends the use of pronouns by the military. it's unclear just how many people in the armed forces will be affected by the changes. we really just don't have good numbers on that. reggie. >> okay. thanks so much, gloria. happening today, the santa cruz county board of supervisors is expected to give an update on findings from the fire at the moss landing battery storage plant. this comes as a local
6:37 am
watchdog group is planning a discussion later tonight on the county's proposal to control how the plants are run. state regulators want more control over how these plants operate following the fire. san jose state university researchers have raised concerns after finding a large amount of heavy metals in the soil near the plant. >> this is an opportunity to understand what will happen in the case of a large storage facility, battery storage facility, facility burning, and how? what can we do to understand the consequence of those such an event? >> the proposal would bring new safety standards for the maintenance and operation of battery storage facilities, and add oversight on emergency response action plans. this is in addition to another bill proposal announced thursday that would give communities more say in whether a battery plant would be built in their area and ensure any plant is built away from environmentally sensitive areas. >> san francisco's new speed cameras will turn on in a little
6:38 am
more than a month, and the city is trying to give drivers plenty of heads up. new billboards are being set up in several neighborhoods, warning drivers that the cameras are coming. the sfmta says they'll start tracking speeds and triggering citations at 33 intersections in march. violators will get citations in the mail. but the city will not impose fines for the first two months after the cameras go up. >> vallejo police will get much needed help from the california highway patrol to confront out-of-control sideshows and reckless driving. the agency announced it will get reinforcements from the state to crack down on rampant traffic stunts. chp officers will join forces with local police during weekend nights. this comes after vallejo residents petitioned governor newsom to send in state officers to help its understaffed police force. now it's our abc seven mornings advancer. we're going to highlight some things happening today in the bay area. >> first, millbrae city council will hold a vote of no confidence in the san mateo county sheriff. this all stems from a report by an independent investigator that says sheriff

a cold start once again in the accuweather headlines, we have those frost advisories, freeze warnings for the next several mornings through thursday. by friday, storms are back across northern california. that means locally, we'll see rain in the sierra. we'll get some snow and even past this weekend into early next week. it does remain pretty unsettled. look at temperatures right now. the map filled with those cold colors. look at all the 30s on the board from napa to sonoma to saint helena. subfreezing. santa rosa, ukiah. danville. livermore. you get the picture. it's another cold start to your day. so here's how the planner shapes up. we have those freeze warnings and frost advisories through 9 a.m. sunrise today is at 717 this morning. the afternoon will have temperatures near average with a lot of sunshine. we'll get into the upper 50s and lower 60s, so a high of 59. in oakland we'll go to 58 in the city. after that subfreezing start in santa rosa will bounce back to 62, the same in san jose, a high of about 59, in san mateo overnight tonight, we'll find our marine layer coming back in a bigger way.
