toward that hayward side. westbound the opposite direction that's the commute for the san mateo and the dumbarton bridges. almost 4:32 so an easy drive around the bay. we see yellow but that's not a major concern. back to you. >> thank you very much. this weekend marks two years since the disappearance of missing morgan hill teen sierra lamar. sunday will mark two years since the then 15-year-old headed to school and vanished without a trace. last year friends and family released red and white balloons to honor the missing teen. the sheriff's office think she was killed. evidence was found linking her disappearance to a morgan hill man garcia torres. two months after she disappeared the sheriff's office arrested garcia torres. after court delays it was only last month that he finally pleaded not guilty to lamar's kidnapping and murder. coming up at 5:00 a.m., bob will be live talking to the private

as loud as we heard which is as loud as a jet engine, he said i have to tell you it's going to be pretty loud. that's because what they are doing, they have to vent a natural gas line, they say that this noise should last about 30 minutes. so again, the venting takes place at one area, then where we are this is where the actual digging and work is going on, on that transmission line. they have to vent in one place, work in another, so again going to be very, very loud. we're told starting maybe in the next 15 minutes or so, we're going to check that out. right now not too bad but be warned it's coming up. that's the latest, live in redwood city, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> good to know. >> new mandatory water restrictions in place in some cities this morning and people who don't follow the rules could end up with no water at all. alameda water district declared an emergency shortage. it includes more than 330,000

people in fremont, knewwalk and you are not allowed to water on consecutive days, you can't refill swimming pools or use a hose and if you use a hose it has to be one of those shutoff nozzles. first you'll get a written warning followed by a knock at the door if you don't comply the district will shut off your water and you could be charged with a misdemeanor. >> the man accused of trying to run down two san francisco police officers could enter a plea in court today. jeffrey rono is charged with assault on a police officer with a deadly weapon. the weaponing his vehicle. and also possession of ammunition by a felon. he was pulled over by two officers on saturday and reportedly tried to back into the officers. one of the officers opened fire and may have shot his partner. ruano was later arrested. >> a judge will deside if there is enough evidence for a man to stand trial.

chaotic as you can see. this is yesterday when about 250 protesters tried to get into the administration building, a fight broke out when police tried to block the door. two students were arrested, one with pepper spray, 15 students spent the the night along with eight officers. protesters want a special trustee to restein and tend to the rirment they pay at the beginning of the semester. >> let's check the forecast right now with meteorologist christina loren. it's going to be a nice one. >> it is going to be nice. you know why, we had rain over the past couple weeks and making the outdoor plans was difficult. not going to be the case this weekend. you're going to want to make outdoor plans as close to the water as you can get. look at where we're starting out. it's chilly this morning, one big difference between yesterday and today is we've got a lot of low cloud cover out there.

it's going to hang around but once it vanishes, sun shines over the bay area we're talking about near record warmth, potential records tomorrow and we expect to break records on sunday. 74 in san francisco today. 79 to the south bay. 82 degrees along the peninsula. it's going to be a really warm day. why is it going to be warmer along the peninsula than in the south bay? not by much but the deal is when we get that offshore flow it negates the marine layer and that influence, as a result temperatures nearly uniform across the bay area. then we'll see the separation as we get into the weekend. look at these numbers. with that said, going to be warm, records possible, in fact likely on sunday. we still have rain in the forecast. i'm going to show you in my next report. right now let's say good morning, happy friday, mikey. >> happy friday, christina. welcome back. toward the san mateo bridge eastbound we're looking at taillights, we have flashing lights over the span. you see that they are moving smoothly.

the few cars are going eastbound and moving nicely over the high rise. the other side, the san mateo bridge, we see there was a break in traffic and things are moving nicely back. there is the chp vehicle on the westbound side getting into traffic but no incidents reported. there you go, flow east from the peninsula to the east bay. a nice flow around the bay, no problems for the flow, all green and yellow basically 60 and above. we'll zoom into the tri-valley. your typical build starting out of the altamont pass. this crash reported there around the dublin interchange is at owens, it's off of the main freeway but you do have a rollover so we'll track that. so far no problems onto or off the freeway. back to you. >> tickets go on sale this morning for the first ever event in levi stadium. though there is a lot of excitement over the opening still a lot of people aren't happy. about 100 attended a meeting last night at a community center.

the police chiefs were there to address concerns about traffic parking and public safety concerns related to the opening of levi stadium. >> i didn't vote for the stadium. i did not want it in my own back yard. people will not want to pay $20 over at the stadium, come down here, walk over or just grab light rail which you can do right here, and basically take up our guest parking. >> the police chief told the crowd there will be an increase in officers on games day and they admit the traffic and parking problems will be a work in progress. they also say they will make adjustments when needed. >> work to change 280/880 interchange will enter a new phase that could mean road closures tonight caltrans crews will close three ramps, northbound 280 to northbound 880, and stevens creek ramp, the southbound 280 to northbound 880, and stevens creek, and the northbound 17 to stevens creek will be closed. the overnight work will last until 10:00 tomorrow morning,

gm you recall recalled 1.6 million cars last month. the center for auto safety says it referenced government crash data. gm says it has reports of 12 deaths in 34 crashes. the company did not recall the cars until last month despite learning of problems with ignition switches as early as 2001. gm says the new report is based on quote raw data and it is pure speculation to draw any conclusions from that data at this point. one of those things that it's just becoming a drip, drip, drip problem for gm with all of these revelations. >> right. you hear the family stories as well. very sad. thanks a lot. >> right now meteorologist christina loren checking the forecast for the weekend. tgit. f. >> everybody at home you made to the friday. st. fa tricks day weekend. st. patrick's day is monday so a lot of the events are saturday and sunday.

suspects. sting ray can record your phone's serial number and location, it can collect content from your phone. stingrays are highly intrusive and they are -- the use raises many cutting edge unresolved constitutional questions. >> documents released by the aclu says that the alameda county district attorney's office and san francisco, san jose, fremont and oakland police departments have all applied for grant money to buy stingrays. the aclu wants to know if the department policies are for using those because it does believe investigators may use them to track people illegally. >> costco is recalling a freeze dried fruit over concerns of possible salmonella. the fruit comes in a box like this one. it was sold across the country including here in california. the recalled items were sold under the best before february 14. valentine's day through march
