low clouds around8áx parts of t south bay this morning and we'll have breezy conditions, winds coming in strongly off the ocean today which will help to keep temperatures running cooler than yesterday. partly cloudy skies by lunch time, locally gusty in the hills and through midafternoon, now we're starting to see a chance of isolated showers popping up especially around the santa cruz mountains and highs today running cooler than yesterday. we had low 70s around the south bay yesterday, today low to mid-60s with the chance of showers especially near the santa cruz mountains. around san francisco high in the low 60s, breezy and cooler and about the same trend for the north bay towards the tri valley, so the best timing for when we think we could see some showers for today notice by 2:00 now, down towards morgan hill and gilroy and along the coast in the hills of the north bay that will be a chance of seeing some showers and off and on into tomorrow morning around the peninsula and again the santa cruz mountains that will probably see the most out of this particular weather system but during the day tomorrow as that cool air comes in, look at the highs, upper 50s tomorrow that, will set the stage for possibly seeing some isolated

thunder at times for saturday afternoon, then sunday skies begin to clear, temperatures climbing for the second half of the week, and next chance of seeing a few light showers approaching monday. for another check of your friday morning commute here's mike. >> traffic flow is smoothly around most of your bay. we have that sig alert for hayward. i'll explain what the incident is and what sig alert means. southbound 880 at tennison, three of your left lanes blocked, that means one lane southbound to get by. the crash involving three vehicles, one of them is a big rig, in the middle lane. it's called a sig alert by chp because it will block at least one lane for 30 minutes, probably more and it will have a significant impact. not significant for sig alert, that's named for boyd sigmund in the '70s. take mission boulevard to industrial or tennison should get you past that scene but industrial on-ramp clear of all that activity. rest of the bay moves smoothly

showers especially as we get into the weekend but this morning no worries about any rain drops just yesterday. breezy in parts of the bay area. temperatures outside right now, 40s and 50s. you notice not quite as cold as yesterday morning, we're getting more clouds or more moisture moving in, which is keeping our temperatures up at least for the morning right now, but the wind will be part of the story, one of the reasons why today's high temperatures running cooler, we watch cooler air aloft from the pacific northwest moving in and the winds coming off the ocean will drop temperatures about five to ten degrees. somewhat real time as we go through the afternoon wind gusts 20 to 30 miles per hour, especially around some of the hilltops so today's highs mostly upper 50s to low 60s and a slight chance of a late day shower around the santa cruz mountains. you'll see highs in the low 60s around san jose, toward san francisco almost like one giant microclimate, low to mid-60s for most of the bay area but the chances of seeing rain should be a little bit higher as we go through saturday. first you notice how most of the

moisture today is still in the northwest, and then as we go into tomorrow, the cooler air moves over the bay area, with the heating of the day and the sunny breaks we see in between the clouds that should help to stabilize the atmosphere late saturday afternoon chance of thunder briefly and air cold enough to snow levels down to 4,000 feet in the area. this is the area saturday afternoon especially out towards the coast, light chance of thunder. snow levels close to 4,000 feet the showers could produce small hail, too, something you might notice as with you go through saturday. in terms of filling up a lot of rain gauges unless you're near one of the stronger cells probably not going to see that. most the rain totals about half inch are closer to the santa cruz mountains. we have winter weather advisory starting at 4:00 today. snow totals areas south of highway 50 getting more than a foot of snow just to the south of kirk wood. great news for the sierra see resorts. it's been a long time since

past the scene. we have a smooth drive with the maze and easy flow of traffic. it is friday, we expect a lighter volume of traffic. the bay bridge toll plaza traffic moves nicely and no cash lanes backing up. it's further south in hayward we're watching that sig alert, three lanes blocked at tennison, back to you. >> thank you, mike. a heartwarming story at ucsf mission bay hospital. single father is going to great lengths to help his young son fight leukemia. >> there you go. that's better. >> cadon homer is 6-year-old has autism and battling leukemia. he's kept a smile on his face throughout it all. >> sort of a bright light to hang out with. he's great, when you're spending the whole day in the hospital it's great to see cadon because you know you'll have a good time. >> cadon's community is rallying around him.

department at midnight tonight, meaning most of their employees would have to go to work without pay, some would stay home furloughed until congress works this out. both votes are happening today, they have to reconcile it and only a few hours leftd. >> thank you very much, tracie. the conservative political action conference continues in washington, d.c., this morning. former gmpbsz rick perry and jeb bush and senator rand paul all among the republicans scheduled to speak. the conference ends tomorrow with a presidential straw poll. we'll see which way the winds are blowing. speaking of winds, rob mayeda joins us. >> that's part of the story, yesterday 60s and 70s for highs. this morning we're in the 40s and 50s with afternoon temperatures not much warmer than that, maybe close to 60. some low clouds right now around san jose, 52 degrees, seeing mid-40s around the north bay and rain-free for now but let's talk more about those winds.

notice the direction here coming in off the ocean and out of the northwest. wind speeds up to 16 miles per hour in half moon bay. as we go through the morning into the afternoon we'll see wind gusts at times 20 to 30 miles per hour including out towards orinda and livermore, blustery afternoon so it will be breezy and cooler for about 100% of the bay area and maybe 10% of the bay area hilltops will have a chance at seeing a few showers showing up later today. more so as we get into saturday. highs in the low 60s around santa clara valley, foster city, 63 degrees, about the same for san francisco into the north bay, and tri valley, low to mid-60s for today's highs. you notice here for friday, not seeing a lot of moisture. the cooler air is beginning to arrive but as we get into saturday as we start to see showers become more widespread the best opportunity for getting miserable rainfall out of the system loo kz to be midafternoon saturday and into the early evening. there say chance we could see some thunder mixed in, with the cool air aloft, as long as snow levels at 4,000 feet.

the convective showers pretty easy to produce hail in the environment. the highest likelihood coming up tomorrow afternoon. the rain totals will be highest around the santa cruz mountains we think, where most of the moisture will be over the next couple of days. not much showing up today. when you add in saturdays numbers areas south of san jose maybe closing in a third of an inch of rain. most of that is focused towards monterey. this is a cold system so the snow totals in the sierra, very impressive. this is encouraging, looking at maybe more than a foot above 8,000 feet. unlike other systems this is going to drop snow as low as 4,000 feet so starting 4:00 this afternoon into saturday, winter weather advisory in the sierra could see some change in controls up through the weekend. the weather trend over the next five days a few showers possible later today. saturday looks to be the main event, the skies begin to clear, we dry out briefly on sunday. one more pretty weak system there on monday and skies clear again as we approach next tuesday. now to see if your roadways are

clearing around parts of the bay area, let's send it over to mike. >> it's friday, a lighter commute around most of the bay. the shot from the chopper shows the big problem for the east bay, there are the flares and two vehicles. we're waiting for any tow truck to get there to remove them from the roadway. this is the reason for the delay and the clearing this is the reason for the delays through the area. look at the damage. minor injuries to the people involved here. as we look at your map you see the jam up here south from basically out of san lorenzo through hayward, through tennison and things clear up because of the friday lighter commute. they're headed over to the peninsula, a report for caltrain a tree on the tracks, sounds like everybody's moving to the southbound boarding area for the san mateo and the burlingame area, that would mean to me single traffic but we're waiting for official word from caltrain and choppers headed over to the peninsula but expect delays for this peninsula ride on caltrain as well. the drive is all right as well.

the south bay a little build north 101 at 680. the bay bridge toll plaza a live look shoiz you the backup, all lanes backing up because the metering lights were turned on at 5:40, typical pattern and approach. no drama in the north bay. we are getting our first look at the man known as jihadi john. nbc bureau in london found the pictures of mohammad emwazi when he was a boy. emazi is now believed to be in his mid-20s from london. nbc believes he's the masked man behind several propaganda videos. >> the aim nlgs of him flashing through the minds of me dose toe whose family members were taken by isis in syria. they're begging for intervention. kris sanchez is here with more on who that family is. >> the davis family is prayinging for mercy for mother, father, children, aunts, uncles,

almost a dozen relatives that modesto couple were taken from their home in syria in the dark morning hours monday. we're not showing pictures so they cannot be identified but the davids tell us that isis terrorists stormed their family's home monday while the family was sleeping. one of the men taken was charlotte's brother, who only left modesto to return to syria to help bring other family members to safety in this country. terrorists in the hundreds captured him along with other men, women and children, united nations says in all there are more than 100 people taken, elderly and priests among them. the davids fear isis will now use their family as human shields or worse as victims for execution. >> and they took everybody, and we don't know if they're alive, where they're at, we don't know. we haven't heard anything from them. >> with he pray for intervention and we ultimately fear the absolute worst, the unthinkable.

>> the davids in modesto asked us not to name or single out their relatives and pictures for fear the media-savvy terrorists would find that information online and deem charlotte's brother a more valuable pawn because he is a u.s. citizen. the family asking for intervention. peninsula congresswoman eschew is formally asking the president to provide aid to the syrians. she is the only member of congress of a syrian descent. the u.s. has condemned the attacks. >> you feel for that family of course. thank you for the report, kris. it's 5:49. investigators say a homicide in hercules may have been the result of a home invasion.÷ mark carr was casing homes on a bike wednesday. police say carr went into a home with a man and woman inside. the homeowner ended up fighting the robber off in the driveway but was killed ultimately in the attack. the homeowner attacked the owner's girlfriend. she's in critical condition.

carr's clothes were covered in blood. rescued and then arrested. two men were pulled from a cliff in marin county and park rangers slapped handcuffs on the men who reportedly vandalized ft. baker. they ran down a cliff and got stuck and choppered to safety. put back on the ground right in front of the park rangers. a medical helicopter had to make an emergency landing out of a supermarket in vacaville. the chopper was headed to san francisco with the patient when the pilot reported a mechanical issue, possibly a bird strike. the pilot made an emergency landing in a field next to a supermarket. luckily no one was hurt and the patient made it to san francisco in an ambulance. 5:50 right now. the bay area's newest area code triggering a slew of new headaches, even before it rolls out. >> this call requires that you dial a one or zero and the area code. >> callers in the old 415 now have to dial a one and ten digits ahead of the new 628

overlay but some systems are not up to speed, including apartment building intercoms there. san francisco tenants expecting deliveries are being forced to hand out personal cell phone numbers. repair cruise say they're booked solid for the next month to install new systems. replacements start at $2,500. >> it's 5:51. gas prices are on the rise again, according to aaa the average of a gallon of gas in unlead in california jumped almost 14 cents. locally we're close to the average, unleaded gas in san jose averages about $3.18 a gallon. $3.27 in san francisco, $3.16 in oakland. >> hopefully you took advantage of the discounts while they were there. 5:51. demand for the new pebble smartwatch rising this morning. pebble is sitting new kickstarter records. $11 million worth of new orders. >> that's right in their 28 days yet to go on the kickstarter.

it begs the question what does this mean for the apple watch? it hasn't hit stores yet. the new pebble watches they call them pebble time. we don't know enough about the apple watch to say whether these are better or worse than the apple watch, but we do know those pebbles have a seven-day battery and we're not expecting that from apple and they cost half as much as an apple watch. apple has sent out invitations to a press briefing on march theth. the invitations read "spring forward" so we think that must be about the watch. does the interest in pebble mean people are buying a smartwatch now because they have no plans to buy an apple watch, or does it mean smartwatches are cool and that's a good sign for apple watch? either argument is perfectly reasonable. the nasdaq index yesterday came within 121 points of 5000. nasdaq 5000 made history in silicon valley in march of 2000 marking the tippy-top of the

dot-com boom and it came crushing down thereafter. nasdaq 5000 is not going to be a sign of the apocalypse, whether we hit it today, monday or someday in the future. >> that's very assuring to know, because i was a little worried there for a second. thank you, scott. >> it is 5:53. don't be worried about the weather this weekend unless you're without an umbrella. good thing because we could use all the rain we could get. rob mayeda in color christina with your microclimate forecast. >> chance of showers today, more for saturday, and fresh snow headed toward the sierra. morning temperatures 40s and 50s, by lunch time a little bit cooler than yesterday at the same time. upper 50s to low 60s for a high today, increasing chance of showers over the hilltops as we head over the afternoon. mike? >> thank you, rob. this is our video our friend lisa took driving south on 880, you'll see the lights, much less activity than when she got there, there was an ambulance. fire crews and a big rig in

laps. the vehicles we passed are still there, that's why on our maps you see the jam from san leandro, 238 down to tennison, where two lanes are still blocked, that's half of your freeway that is inaccessible for the morning commute. that's the big friday build. everything else on the roadways is looking smooth. the bay bridge toll plaza itself has a backup and the metering lights. we have all the lights on at the bay bridge toll plaza and the backup forms, we'll look at the rest of your bay though, south of here, san jose moves smoothly. peninsula roads are okay. there was a report from caltrain there was a tree across tracks so folks supposed to board on the southbound boarding area, that's for the san mateo and burlingame stations, our chopper is over on the peninsula, trying to find out what exactly is going on as far as that tree on the tracks. i haven't heard a lot of chatter on twitter, usually when there's a delay for the tlanz you'll see a lot of chatter so we're getting more details. caltrain says tracks, there was a tree on the tracks, a lot of trs on the peninsula, we'll

away. investigators are trying to figure out what happened. they say three people were claiming to own the cabin and one sold it to a fourth person. even though the cabin was only reported stolen this week neighbors say it's been at the current location for more than a year. the sheriff's department is now taking over. >> we have i guess you could say in our custody a home. i don't know why we aere we're to put it and book it but we have a home. >> most recent buyer bought the cabin for about three grand. there's a lot of bargains out there today. >> apparently. home to the highest bidder. it's a simple question being debated by millions after going viral. white and gold or blue and black. >> this is what they're referring to, a dress posted on tum builder by a scottish musician yesterday. she asked fans is it white and gold or blue and black. she and her friends couldn't afree. now, millions of people have child in on the internet. the foe cowas posted when a
