4:31 am
we start out with cloudy skies and we will see our next storm system starting to move inland throughout the day and starts out with spotty, light rain for most of the morning and possibly throughout the morning and in the afternoon. some fog and mist in the north bay and we will have low visibility in spots and we'll talk about that rain coming up in a few minutes. let's get a look at the bay bridge now with mike. >> behind me we could still see and barely make out the tower and folks able to drive across the span, though, without a problem. we'll look at your map and no real slowing around the bay and overonight road crews causing one lane or two and most to be closed in spots for eastbound 580. 680 up through san ramon and close to 6:00 for the northbound side. back to you. >> thank you. new this morning a life or
4:32 am
death water rescue unfolding in antioch with a nearby security guard jumping into action and now being credited with saving a woman's life. >> stephanie chuang is live at the antioch marina and, steph, do you know what led up to that rescue? >> we are in luck we have the man who made the rescue himself and a security guard. david, you were talking to us about how this all started. you saw her drive into the lot at 10:30. >> that's correct. >> what was happening? >> she came in and she was driving recklessly and made a full turn around the parking lot and all of a sudden i see her coming about 45 and lunging herself with the car inside the marina here. when i saw that i rushed over here to rescue. i saw that the car was still floating and luckily i was able to put the window down and retrieve her from there. >> can you describe what she was like. she was pretty nervous.
4:33 am
you had tacalm her down. >> i had to calm her down and she was kind of yelling and feeling like she was going to die. i calmed her down and i told her, take off your seat belt. she was concerned about her legs. she wasn't able to move. so, i was able to reach to her hands and pull her. >> i know you're trained to watch out. you saw it was strange how she was driving but to find yourself in the situation, are you trained for this? >> i always try to have a lot of training outside of my work area, but, you know, something that i always try to keep up. >> perfect. anyone else with her or was she the only one? >> luckily she was the only one and it was confirmed that there was nobody else inside of the vehicle. >> david, thank you so much for talking to us. right place, right time. jumping into action there. it seems she was fine and
4:34 am
wrapped up by paramedics after. make sure there were no victims in the water, there were not. they were able tawrap this up in about an hour and a half. >> david still very low key after that dramatic rescue. thank you. the 97-year-old woman fighting an eviction notice on the peninsula passed away last night. we are talking about marie hash who was being forced out of her college in burlingame. the notice came after her landlord and close friend passed away and the new landlord decided to sell that property. a law firm has since stepped in to help out hatch pro bono. a lockdown at the santa clara county jail after an inmate brawl that was caught on the cameras that sheriff laurie smith had installed just days ago. the cameras captured this melee that started yesterday afternoon and also the response to it.
4:35 am
now, according to sheriff laurie smith more than 0 inmates were involved, including some of the more hard line suspects awaiting trial. smith says the inmates seemed to take sides based on race. >> it looks like one inmate brushed up against another and then the fists. you could see a lot of fist fighting and the inmates are spread throughout the pod. but that's where we installed the cameras. we don't have cameras in any of the other housing areas. it's interesting that it happened here. >> now, one watchdog group questions why the guards group the inmates as they did in the same area where the cameras were installed. as for injuries, the nursing staff treated several inmates for bumps and bruises. the timing of that brawl only adds to the question surrounding the jail. it happened just hours before a judge ruled three correctional deputies must stand trial for last summer's beating death of an inmate.
4:36 am
michael tyree died inside his cell inside that same facility where that brawl went down. 4:36 right now. we're seeing just a very small traces of what will be a lot more than a trace storm. meteorologist kari hall joining us now. >> good morning. we've seen the clouds all throughout the day and even mist and drizzle in spots. we'll start out the day with the same kind of weather and not really looking all that impressive as we look at the satellite and radar and not much green on there. as we go through the rest of the day, the rain will be spotty and not expecting much in the way of any heavy downpours and we may have a couple of those popping up here and there and into the afternoon also a chance of some rain that will be very hit or miss and it will continue as we go through the rest of the day. temperaturewise, we'll keep it in the 60s across all our microclimates. around 64 degrees in san francisco and 66 today in napa. i'll detail this and a bigger storm system expected to arrive as we head into tomorrow.

4:41 am
>> well, miss manners would have had a field day with the four remainder contenders. and in between there was actually a few moments of political discussion, though they were hard to hear. moderators joined donald trump's challengers in questioning him on his health care plan. >> we'll save more than $300 billion a year. >> numbers don't add up. >> trump also seemed to offer leeway on some of his hardline stances, including syrian refugee saying flexibility isn't a necessity when it comes to negotiations. you saw megan kelly there. that was the first time donald trump faced her since. the bay area has three cases of the zika virus. napa county official os reported that case two days ago. yesterday we learned about two additional cases in alameda county. health officials do not believe that any of those cases actually

>> increasing. >> about 60 degrees this morning as you head out and we have clouds blanketing the bay area and it keeps the temperatures from really dipping and speaking of clouds blanketing and we see fog over the golden gate bridge and it makes for low visibility in spots and maybe misting and that's to deal with drizzle. oakland 58 degrees and 55 degrees in santa rosa. so, as we go into the day, we are expecting some mainly light showers with this same fog kind of draped over parts of the bay area as the clouds continue to increase else where. later today, we'll have some brief passing showers by this afternoon and a mix of sun and clouds and then as we go into tomorrow, we're watching for a bigger storm system that may create some flash floodflooding along with strong winds and rain and heavy downpours with that.
4:46 am
i'll detail that in just a bit. looking at what we are expecting here over the next several days. the atmospheric river is setting up and the flow of the upper level winds and carry several areas of low pressure all across the bay area and also across the region that will create a very wet pattern. it starts out early this afternoon with some yellows and some reds here that indicate we could have some brief, heavy downpours but most of what we will see today will be some spotty, light rain and then here we are for tomorrow with some heavier downpours moving through. at 9:00 tomorrow evening, the strongest of those storms will be rolling by and then we'll see things kind of winding down, still with some rain lingering into sunday and rainfall totals are quite a bit. we're looking at least an inch and a half in san francisco and maybe some spots that get over to 2, 2 1/2 inches of rain just this weekend. i'll detail that coming up. let's get an update on what is happening with that fog over
4:47 am
some of the bridges with mike. >> get a peek or two as the clouds drift across and the fog. here's the span that westbound direction. for the taillights you can barely make out. that's the bay bridge and it's okay when you're driving on the span. let's look at your map and see if the speed sensors are not affected. san rafael into 101 and novato, as well. big view of the rest of the bay, no slowing. overnight road crews and the live look at dublin much clearer as far as the view and the drive, there's 580. back to you. a new report finds that americans are leasing cars more than ever. >> keeping their options open. for that story and the rest of the news before the bell, we turn now to landon dowdy live at cnbc world headquarters on a friday. good morning, landon. >> hey, there, sam and kris. good morning to you both. wall street will extend its winning streak to four days and investors are awaiting the big economic news of the week. the jobs report out at 8:30 a.m. eastern and we're expecting

a very significant, symbolic victory. the win makes it 44 straight at home for the warriors. that matches the chicago bulls record that they made 20 years ago. puts the ws all alone at the top of the record books and fans can't wait to see that happen. >> i'm more excited about on monday when we can actually break it because that will be 45. >> it's a remarkable streak. probably a couple games in there that we should have lost. it does take some luck, but, it's been very important for us the last couple years to establish the home court and really dominate it and we're proud of oour guys for that. >> all right. so, we do talk about luck here. >> just a little bit. the warriors next game is on the road against the lakers but, again, they'll have the chance to break the record for the most consecutive home wins monday night when the magic comes to town. coming up, a woman driving e
