670 south towards fremont and also showing yellow there. the traffic heent made it. approaching the bay bridge, not a problem. metered lights on but no problem there and westbound traffic going away from us, moving very smoothly and volume picking up. the last three days since -- two days, i guess, right about 7:00 we've seen the westbound commute really pack into the san mateo bridge. got a break, half an hour, 40 minutes to get there. >> there's your window, and then it will be a lot slower. >> there's your opportunity. >> you cannot tame that bridge, thank you very much, mike. >> up next, pilots blinded in mid-air. what we're learning this morning about several laser attacks. >> the key piece of equipment that could now be found in the plane's tail section.

happy wednesday to you, bay area. we are getting you started with a warming trend. we're going to see temperatures rivaling record today. the unfortunate part of our forecast is that poor air quality will persist for today and for us. we are going to see that hayes at its peak. but we're looking much better as of tomorrow. cooler temps and better air quality and i've got to tell you, if you want to hit tahoe this weekend stick around. we're going to take you live and tell you what they are working with at the base because as we

know it's all about that bass, mike. >> that's right. traffic no trouble. looking at a smooth ride. no building for southbound 101 through the north bay. not helping air quality but i'll hopefully help you get around your commute coming up. >> all right. let's get a look at the top stories right now. nicely done there mike. a massive search is under way for the masked men who stormed a paris newsroom and kills 12 people. the front president is calling the attacks a terrorist attack. no question about it. no one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but isis has repeatedly threatened the paper in the past. >> divers in an unmanned sub spotted the tail of the airasia plane that crashed into the sea on deebd 28th. the jet's black boxes are usually kept in that part of the plane. >> airport authorities at l.a.x. are looking whoever is responsible firing a pacer

apart and oil fell because of it, economy and then oil. the worry today is oil and then economy. the side effect of lower prices. 860 americans will lose their jobs because companies can't afford new drilling and new investments and another effect is something called the yield curve, something that the investors study to try to figure out health of the market. it's a little like a heartbeat so this is the yield that you can really call it the interest rate, right, two sides of the same coin and maturity is exactly like time. what you would expect is for the curve to do this is for the amount of money you pay over time to go up, but what's happening it's going move like this, and i know what you're thinking, this a sharpie, no, it is not. yield curve like this normally,

yield curve like this. what does this mean, indication like a heartbeat graph of something in trouble. it itself does not mean anything as much as it is like a heartbeat or temperature. a doctor would say something is up, and we can clearly see that something is up. >> all right. thank you for the illustration there. >> you bet. >> as well. >> glad you weren't pondering the economics. >> what is he drawing and why is it not showing up? >> happening today, the bay area could see record heat and parts of the country are brace for bitter cold. in minneapolis it's 10 below zero. and all public schools there are closed. in most places it's not just the cold, it's dangerous windchill. advisories are in effect for the large part of the northeast with strong winds that can lead to frostbite for the unprepared. the windchill in some places may reach 40 below. >> decidedly frosty and cold right now. 6:17 with a live look outside. christina with the ultima tease

tahoe right now at square and alp alpin, and that, my friend is pretty exittive especially when you save the last three years. in the area we're going to take you. even shorter distance to the beach and 42 degrees on peninsula and 44 on the east shore. temperatures today really, really comfortable although we do have that poor air quality. if it doesn't bother you, your pets or even your young ones get outdoors today but if you have asthma and respiratory issues stay inside. always want you to be safe. this is what we're working for at our beaches. look at this though, monterey, 79 degrees and santa cruz 78 degrees and 71 for half moon bay and even bodega bay up in the north bay, you'll hit about 64 degrees, and our water temperatures are still unusually warm for this time of the year. typically we've got temperatures in the low 50s. working with 5 degrees in the

water in monterey and 50 degrees in big sur so definitely seeing a impact. next couple of days 68 on thursday and 66 by friday getting into the weekend. temperatures will return to average. a little drizzle up in the north bay and maybe pick up an additional one to two inches of snowfall in tahoe with the little system coming through. hey, we'll take any snow or rain we can get next. let's find out what mike working with right now. good morning. >> not to rain on your rain but we ear hoping for a little drizzle because if it's considerable rain it will be a problem with the construction job over at the golden gate bridge but doesn't sound like you've got that in the forecast so good news. san jose smooth except for 101 at 670 where the burst is dicking in for second one this. will hit and stick for the south

bay. look at the map, san jose and rest of the silicon valley, there's the slowing with the camera is, orange bringing it down below 40 and you saw just approaching the key very clowe. starting to build consistently northbound. rest of the south bay moves nicely and over through fremont, the earlier slbd over on riding of the screen. it hasn't -- let's look over here to the right side of the screen. clear to the shoulder at gre greenville same thing fally yeas. a car fire reported south 880 at oak street is on the shoulder. smoking rather than an actual fire, and chp has yet to arrive on scene. metering lights are on. filled the toll plaza itself with the light as the metering lights will do back to west grand avenue, but the fast track

still looking pretty good, and i do promise you you'd see palo alto. saw it on sensors, here's the live look. eastbound 101 and southbound side also picking up the volume but no real mountains. >> thanks very much. the time ramp 6:22, still ahead on "today in the bay," hundred of thousands of people in the bay area could immediate to find a doctor and soon. the contract dispute at thor in the of all of this next.

"today in the bay's "tracie potts joining us live from capitol hill with the very latest. good morning, tracy. >> you'll their again in the state of the union and today the president is talking about jobs and using in phoenix and college loans in tennessee but republicans say he is no longer setting the agenda here.

day one and they are already drawing lines in the snow. >> he's not going to determine what we do. >> in an interview with the hometown tv station, new senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says the bill to approve the keystone oil pipeline will land on president's desk. >> the president is not going to set our agenda in the senate. >> reporter: but the white house after leaving the door open to compromise a day earlier now says -- >> i can confirm for you that if if thrill passes this congress the president wouldn't sign it either. >> reporter: president's off to michigan today to talk jobs. >> i'm going to detroit to talk about more things we can do to promote advanced manufacturing and innovation in our research base. >> reporter: republicans insist keystone will create jobs and some democrats agree. >> making us stronger and a little less dependant on energy as far as oil. >> in the polls consistently,

through the next hour. we'll show you the live pictures and i will tell you right now you're better off indoors for today limiting the outdoor activity if you suffer from asthma or respiratory issues or you've noticed yourself coughing more, sneezing more over the past few days. the air quality is very, very bad right now, and it's all across the board. with the up healthiest levels right here in the santa clara valet and that extends into the tri-valet. temperatures this morning in the 40s. nice and mild out there. your heater is probably not working overtime and later on you can likely give it a break. 73 degrees in the north bay and 69 degrees in san francisco and 70 degrees on the east shore so let's talk about snowpack. as you know we're in a drought. snowpack holds the key to getting us out. in fact, 60% of all the water that fills the reservoirs that we drink from come from snowpack so here's where we are. northern sierra at 49% and 39% for central sierra and down

south they haven't had a lot of snowfall, 41%. want to show you a comparison. here's 2013. look at all this snow we had banked up against the mountains in 2013. take you into 2014, look at the difference, and even before that, 2015 you can see here we are today looking okay, but when we compare last year to this year we're already doing better. here's deal. we've got more on the way. towards the end of the month our pattern changes entirely and every single day you see here highlighted in green, that's a chance for 50% or better. rain widespread across the bay area and that goes for the southern sierra all the way up to the northern sierra as well. 50% chance or better of snowfall so here's the thing. january is typically our wettest month here in the bay area. i think you'll make up the averages getting into the second half of the month and looking good for that. let's check your drive right now with mike. >> finishing strong for the first month of 2015. over here we're starting pretty strong over at the bay bridge

toll plaza. you'll see all the lanes backed up. fast track moving pretty well and as we come off the maize, look at the map, not so bad. this is a pretty typical flow. the earlier big rig and there was indeed a fire of some sort reported there, i thought maybe brakes and that fire is out. they cannot move the truck but it's out of the roadway, distraction south at oak street. another distraction eastbound 24. that's countercommute but it's causing a problem. a slowdown all the way from 980 all the way towards old tunnel road. a couple of vehicles over on the shoulder and sounds like a tow truck lost what it was pulling and it got hit by another car. all off the roadway. counter commute and slowing here tornadoes arenda. nothing unusual for the north bay, 37 with a little slowing and same thing with highway 4 through antioch. bigger slowing for the tri-valet. typical patterns through those areas, including the south bay and northbound routes, a little slowing as well and starting to

build up. nothing unusual. we'll show you the live shot for san jose and here's the slowing we were expecting a few minutes ago and even that is easing into the morning commute and we do have more cars continuing to build as the new year returns to its commute. >> a return to the norm. >> thank you, mike. >> at 6:37 right now. consumers have had more northern in the pockets books thanks to cheaper gas prices business good but the oil slide has hurt the marks. >> but they could be making a rebound this morning. let's check in with scoot mcgrew. >> always good to buy something on sale, right? >> seeing a little bit of buying this morning. the dow industrials are up mildly, 139 points, but we offlost, what, 400 points in the last couple of days. we have a ways to go. yesterday we started in the positive before ending negative as well. major move by intel this morning. the company announced it will dedicate $300 million to new scholarships for minorities and women. it's the biggest thing we've ever seen out of silicon valley company as far as diversity in quite some time.

intel is about 76% male, 86% guys white and asian, and they say they want to do something about that to better reflect the population. >> all right. put their mind and mouth with where their money is. thanks very much, scott. >> still ahead, sky divers forced to jump a little sooner than they expected. we'll explain coming up next.

how is this for waking up?

13 sky divers were able to jump to safety moments before their plane plummeted into a new zealand lake. the plane carrying six passengers and seven crew members was in an altitude of 2,000 feet when something went wrong and the plane stalled in mid-air. officials say the pilot yelled get out and each instructor hooked themself to a passenger and jumped. they were able to safely maneuver over the water and on to a nearby beach. investigators are now headed to the wreckage to try to determine what caused that plane to go down. it is 6:41 right now. new this morning, a mystery solved 20 years later surrounding a heisman trophy for o.j. simpson who won the heisman back in 1968 as college football's most outstanding player. a copy of the trophy went to his alma mater usc. someone stole it from its display case in 1994 shortly after simpson's murder trial. so far police in los angeles will not say how they recovered the trophy or anything for that matter about the suspects. the investigation, we're told,

is ongoing. they are only confirming that the trophy has now been found. >> 6:41. up next, police searching for whoever shot a man in a parking lot of a busy b.a.r.t. station last night. >> that plus an update to breaking news. twelve people killed as gunmen stormed a newspaper and opened fire. >> another spare the air day. when the hayes will clear next. >> and a pretty good picture out now of the bay area. we'll be back with 15 minutes of non-stop news, traffic and weather directly following this break.

at 6:44, welcome back to your live look at the sun rising over san jose this morning. beautiful but yet hazy start as today marks the sixth straight spare the air day for the pay area. not just the hayes but near record heat as well. >> yeah, meteorologist christina loren will be showing us how warm it's going to be in your neighborhood today. this she is on the left side of your screen and on the right we'll start hive with bob redell where poor air quality is causing serious health concerns for folks allergies, good morning, bob. >> that weather report that christina will be giving us will give you an idea why we'll have such poor air quality. close to record high temps, dry air and little wind and all of that leads to the reason why we're having our 12th spare the air day this winter season, because the air quality is just that poor. >> we're talking about really tiny particles, ten microns, two microns, tiny particles have get

deep into the lungs and blood vessels and they exacerbate people's asthma and cause people with emphysema to feel worse. >> reporter: that dr. thomas daisy, a pull monallergist seeing a number of people with breathing problems. a thick hayes is lingering over the south bay and you might be thinking that's a lot of car pollution. hour the greatest source of pollution this time of year are wood-burning fires accounting for roughly 40% of the poor air which is why the bay area air quality management district is asking you to heed the spare the air warning which is wednesday. the fine is $100 if you break the rules and $500 for a second oven. reporting live here atop the communications hill in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> a nice looking backdrop. 6:46 and taking a quick peek

outside at the bay bridge. that is almost like a painting this morning as the sun rises other that bay bridge. >> yeah. it's a very, very nice start to our day. particulate matter in the air that makes the sunrises and sunsets so illuminating. >> so spectacular. spectacular colors, that's what we get out of the poor air quality, but, unfortunately, especially if you have a little one who suffers from asthma or respiratory issues, it's just not safe, and i hate to say that, even when it comes to going outside today for any duration of time. you just don't want to be breathing in this poor air quality. it just gets trapped here, and we have the worst of the worst in the santa clara valet and tri-vale and as laura was describing look at some of the pretty colors we do get and yes, it's pretty conclusion, but you don't want to be breathing it in. you also want that air recycling in your car this morning us a make your way off to work and especially this evening when the levels really creep up. 40 degrees though to kick off the day here in the south bay. thanks for waking up with us

each an every morning. today will be a morning potentially that ends up historically later on today as temperatures rise above record levels and look at san francisco, 69 degrees is the forecasted high. we've been keeping records in san francisco for well over 100 years, so that's pretty historic if we do hit 69 degrees. the old record 68. more impressive for us to hit 74 degrees here in the south bay where the record that stands is currently 71 degrees. by tomorrow we'll out of record territory. temperatures will drop off, and this is courtesy of an area of low pressure that will bring us a little bit of wind and mix up our atmosphere and really for us this is also going to provide better air quality into the weekend. temperatures will drop off. you will find the best air quality where we do get the most wind and that's at the immediate coast and in combination with that you'll get really choice temperatures for the wintertime. monterey 79 degrees. forecasting 7 degrees on the boardwalk in santa cruz. we should hit that because we did yesterday. the good news is the storm track

returns towards the end of the month, and the national weather service actually issued a tweet yesterday. they do agree with me. 17th and 18th looking good for rain and every chance you see here every day shaded in green, 50% chance for rain or better, so as we get into the second half of the month, better air quality and better drought news for us, so check your drive, here's mike. >> and who thought we'd be referencing things called tweets in the news. northbound 101 and making a little bigger noise is the commute. let's look at the map for san jose and the entire silicon valley and south bay. northbound 101 really in earnest showing that commute slowing down as you approach capitol expressway and heading all the way up towards 880. same thing for 87 up to 280 and 85 through saratoga and continuing through cupertino for speeds just below 60 miles per hour. the map over towards the tri-vale, now typical build, 580 and southbound and 680 down through pleasanton. after a couple of earlier

crashes in livermore and altamont pass things have quieted down to the typical wednesday build and a little slowing for southbound 880 through haywood. there's the pattern and san mateo bridge making their way over towards the peninsula, slowing from 101 through san mateo, a typical pattern. the bay bridge has the metering lights on and no big drama. earlier crash eastbound 24 around old tunnel road had a lot of distraction and slowing that sorted itself out and the commute showing a little congestion. highway 37 slows a bit towards 101. 102, let me show you that and why the sensors are changing in the last couple of minute, a burst of traffic and what looks like there may have been something going on in the lanes just north of san pedro road, traffic is letting up just before you get to the bottom of the screen and no flashing lights but we'll track this. there's the slowing. it's quite evident.
