5:02 am
it got cleared. sounds like a car thought it clipped a deer going across the roadway. a look to san rafael and the traffic southbound. the commute direction is the taillights. look at the map for that same area. we see the green map painted on over the freeway, highway 101 toward 580. that's the area where we're registering wet roadways. back to you guys. thank you, mike. 5:02. this morning the nation is waiting for two key rulings from the supreme court on same-sex marriage. the court still has to hand down rulings on prop 8 and defense of marriage act before closing its current session. it's unknown what the justices will decide, but we do know one thing. they have to make their rulings this week. "today in the bay's" cheryl hurd is live in washington, d.c. this morning for us. good morning to you. what's the timeline today? >> reporter: well, the wait continues here in washington, d.c., marla. when i arrived here about an hour ago, literally there were
5:03 am
pabt 100 people lichbed up behind me, some of them sleeping, most of them students. in fact, they're still lined up here on the steps of the supreme court waiting to get in. at about 7:00 your time justices will start clicking through some of the issues. 11 more rulings are expected from the supreme court before the justices take a break. but all eyes are on proposition 8, the california ban on same-sex marriage and doma, the federal law barring benefits for gay couples. it has been a waiting game, especially in the bay area where gay marriage has been on a roller coaster ride. hundreds of couples got married from june to november in 2008 in san francisco. that's when voters approved the ban on same-sex marriage. kate kental is the executive director and has been watching the gay marriage issue closely. >> i don't think it will be everything we want from the rulings. i think they'll both be
5:04 am
relatively narrow rulings, but for us in california, couples will be marrying again. >> so i'm sure everybody remembers in 2008 california voters voted in favor of the ban on gay marriage by 52%. some believe opinions on the issue have changed since then. others believe that those who didn't agree with it had just been keeping silent. we are live here. we'll bring you an update coming up in about a half hour. reporting live in washington, d.c., i'm cheryl hurd, nbc bay area news. >> cheryl, thank you so much. prop 8 isn't the only monumental case the supreme court has yet to rule on, it's also set to release its ruling on the defense of marriage act as well as affirmative action in higher education and the voting rights act of 1965 which requires some states, especially in the south, to get federal permission before changing voting laws. 5:04 now. san jose police are looking for a group of suspected gang
5:05 am
members who attacked and robbed a couple. it happened during the first weekend of the major police crackdown on gang violence. "today in the bay's" christie smith is live in police headquarters in san jose with details for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, marla. san jose police say this couple was just minding their own business walking down the street when they were confronted by a group of suspected gang members. the man tried to help the woman. he ended up being attacked. both the man and woman ended up being taken to the hospital. as you said, this came the very same weekend when san jose police rolled out their new gang suppression program. the couple was on lido street yesterday afternoon in broad daylight and an argument started with these suspected gang members. police say they took the woman's purse and when the man tried to help her, they attacked him and he suffered a head injury in all this. the attackers took off running. this weekend san jose police started rolling out a three-phase plan for increased patrols in june and july and then a gang suppression unit
5:06 am
that will start in august. >> i think any time you increase or improve visibility, you're going to always see some deter rens to crime. i think how that's realized is still yet to be seen. >> now, we also spoke with a youth anti-gang coordinator who says the suppression efforts have worked in the past, but sometimes they push gangs under ground, but it is temporary and kids are still being recruited. a police and community effort is what's needed, he believes. this weekend 40 additional officers were out in hot spots. next month that jumps to 64. reporting live in san jose, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thank you, christie. it is 5:06 right now. a lot going on this weekend with the super moon, warm temperatures. christina loren, you're also telling us about some rain out there. >> yeah. you know, very unusual. too bad we can't see that super moon out there this morning because it was fabulous on saturday night.
5:07 am
it's still out there. it's just completely covered by clouds this morning. i want to show you what's happening. you can see we've got a very significant dip in the jet stream and you can also see showers mostly impacting the northern most portion of the state. for us let me zoom in and show you your realtime doppler radar, what we're working with this morning, what could slow you down. we'll stop the clock for you right now. this is where you'll see the most moisture come through. we see a mostly dry afternoon and another stronger wave as we head through tonight into tomorrow. from santa rosa down south into san mateo, you'll find slick conditions. you want to find extra time. we haven't had any significant rainfall since mid april. your highways will be nice and slick. all the oil that's been accumulating could be a very dangerous situation for commuters this morning. >> absolutely right. it floats to the top as even just a little water hits the roadway. that's what we're seeing in many spots around the bay and also from overnight. here we look at the bay bridge.
5:08 am

5:09 am
in sunnyvale where you see the crews are still here because they're doing a cleanup and i imagine starting some sort of investigation once the sun comes up. this is what greeted the firefighters around 3:00 this morning. that's when the call came in. you can see it was a trailer camper that was fully engulfed in the back side. you can see three firefighters towing a line in there. the chief tells us it took about 20 minutes to put this out. once the fire was out, there was an issue of whether or not -- i should say concern over whether or not someone was inside. the information was that one person lived there. but they had to wait for pg&e to come out and turn off the power. that happened about a half hour ago. they went in and confirmed no one was inside that trailer or camper when it went up in flames. one person, as i mentioned, dutz live there. they figured out that person is safe, staying elsewhere for tonight.
5:10 am
still don't know what caused this fire. one-alarm fire at this trailer park, but the fire is out. no one was hurt. reporting live in sunnyvale, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> good ending there. bob, thanks. 5:10 right now. a south bay jewelry store employee pays the price after she tries to stop a robbery. we have the details coming up next. we've been talking about it, the super moon. what makes this moon so special? we'll have that for you next. stocks look about as cloudy as a christina loren forecast. we'll take a look at wall street coming up.
