instead of fund-raising. this morning, we have team coverage. mike inouye will take a look at president's motorcade and how it affects traffic. bob redell will join us in los altos hills for a look at high profile fund-raiser. let's begin with stephanie chuang live in san francisco's soma district where the president is waking up. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, scott. that's right. it's a three-day west coast fund-raising trip and this is the second stop the bay area. the president is staying at intercontinental hotel down the street here where he stayed many times before. here at howard and 4th, a strong security president sense. in the last half hour, police and secret service have stopped a couple of vehicles including one elevator maintenance company conducting a thorough sweep for a few minutes before letting the driver through. the president here to raise money for the democrats, specifically for those campaigning for congress in the midterm election.

as the israel-gaza conflict worsens and the aftermath of the malaysia plane shot down continues to unfold, republicans are criticizing the president for the timing of his trip. our political analyst counters mr. obama has a duty to handle both roles as a leader in foreign affairs and fund-raiser for his party. >> he may be a lame duck, but a lame duck with a lot of ability to raise a lot of money for ducks that aren't lame, particularly those in congress. raising money for congressional candidates and the democratic party. >> right now is an inopportune time a serious war in israel and america under attack by russia. >> reporter: president obama touched down 9:20 last night. from the of the first west coast stop in seattle and heads back to sfo to fly out to l.a. for the next fund-raiser stop and the final one during the west coast trip. next up, house majority pac event at four seasons in san francisco and that starts at

is -- will tie up traffic. already seeing scenes of that in san francisco. >> did you see the truck? they can't make the turn on 4th street. it's a mess. >> 4th and howard congested in this area. a couple of blocks around the area, also the closures around that intercontinental hotel. we will go over that as i talk about the local traffic. full koers that stephanie and bob talking about as far as fund-raisers as well. looking at the map, four seasons, the first stop this morning after he leaves the intercontinental, just about two blocks away. that will affect the area at mission, market, third and fourth. the president will make his way down to the peninsula. now where the president goes, so goes his motorcade and security. 101, 280 likely the route. around noon where he goes to los altos hill as the bottom of the screen there. from that point, fund-raiser and then another stop, again at sfo, heading back up the intercontinental. 120 the departure point. watch late morning midday and early afternoon the president

and the motorcade should be clear of the area. to the maps, this will not affect the south bay or east bay. but we're looking here toward the city, and as we talked about the intercontinental, watch for the 4th and howard, major intersection, and that's where we saw slowing, 4th in particular, crossing howard. cars couldn't make the turn because of security. mission will be crowded and that may bleed toward market. watch for the local impact heading south of market in that area. the rest of the bay moves nicely. typical flow of traffic down the east shore freeway toward the city. nothing unusual for the bay bridge toll plaza. crash off of 580. not a problem. oakland a's play. a's playing tone tonight at coliseum. right now, smooth drive northbound, commute direction. southbound, slows down towards san mateo bridge. on the maps, it's easy with the live shot here. south of here slowing starting

the 238 and past 92. 92, more pacific toward the peninsula. it will track toward fremont. over west 580 earlier crash cleared backup, another crash at el charro, that may leave the car lanes a few minutes. pattern standard as well as south 680. no major delays, though b.a.r.t. had a tough start out of the hayward line. we have all trains back on schedule for the roads and rails. san jose, volume of traffic starting to kick in now. it's slow approaching capitol expressway past 286, 80, continuing to san jose international airport. back to you. back out to san jose, live look at the weather and the skies. looks like fab russ, just like christina loren said it would. >> sun blazing in, almost misleading. you know only climbing to 79

water to the california coastline. now our winds have been out of the south recently, the southeast. and as a result of the recent pattern, our warmer, warmer waters, ocean currents coming up, california current bringing temperatures into the mid-60s, just offshore which is unusual. talking about hypoterma possibilities earlier. you can get in the water, you don't want to stay in longer than 10, 15 minutes you can get in, it's not going to be comfortable, but if you're a surfer you're into 65 degrees in the water in santa cruz. something cool. i like to tell you about that whenever it happens. 79 in the south bay. 75 peninsula. 68 san francisco. comfortable day on the east shore. 71. north bay, abundant sunshine. 83 degrees talk about air quality. another benefit of having showers roll through. good to moderate air quality.

>> again, 298 bodies remain at the crash site. it is in rebel-held territory and now with the downing of the two ukrainian fighter jets, it just gives an indication of how difficult the investigation is. these monitors here at a different site, not held by those russian rebels. russia denies that its supporters in ukraine were involved, but the u.s. says there's plenty of evidence that they were behind it. and that it was a mistaken hit on what the rebels thought was a transport plane. only the ukrainian government is commenting on the downing of two ukrainian fighter jets. again this happening as the victims are arriving back on their home territory as their nation is in mourning. scott? >> kris sanchez, thank you. it's 6:57. new this morning, workers at house of liquors in san leandro received a late night surprise when a truck crashed through the wall.
