>> from the break room. >> i will definitely get it for you. >> you need the coffee to help warm you up. it is is so cold as you're ready to head out the door and get this friday started. we're looking at temperatures in the 30s and 40s. it is 37 degrees in livermore. and santa rosa, 35 degrees. morgan hill, 39. low 40s elsewhere. live look at san jose. i'll let you know the timeline coming up. we head over to mike focusing on the crash in palo alto. >> it is. as we expect, a lighter volume of traffic. metering lights are on at the bay bridge toll plaza. we are seeing slow and go in this morning's commute because of roadway damage.

left lanes blocked by a crash that happened. i'm going to zoom out for a second. i'm going to show you these areas. i'm monitoring carefully. bob redell will talk about why this will not clear in the short-term. >> reporter: good morning to you, mike. the reason is there is damage embarcadero overpass. you can see the chipping there. a section of concrete missing there. what's happening is chp shut the road down because they are waiting for an engineer from caltrans to come from sacramento to come here, get on a flat bad, scissor-lift and make sure the overpass is still structurally sound. the estimated time to get it reopened, southbound 101, the approach to the embarcadero, not until noon. this is the result of a vehicle

accident just before 11:00 last night. a dump truck driver just finished dropping his load at a work site on 101 when he forgot, according to chp, to lower the dump box. that became detached from the trailer and cab, wedged between the pavement and the overpass. that had to be removed. believes he popped a wheelie. as a result, the driver smashed his face into the steering wheel, broke his nose. he was taken to the hospital and is expected to be okay other than the fact has a broken nose. chp does not believe he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. he made a mistake by not putting the bed down. your headlights heading southbound 101.

number one and two lanes, the far two left lanes are shut down. there is some slowing. i'm going to guess looking at the rate of flow of traffic this is not terribly significant. they will get the structural engineer to see if is sound and if not they can fix it at a later date. bob redell, today in the bay. thanks, bob. breaking news overnight on the east coast. this is new video into our newsroom showing a massive fire that burned several buildings along the jersey shore. high winds in the area made it

tough for firefighters to get the fire under control. and at one point the fire was so intense it caught a nearby condo complex on fire. we just learned moments ago two firefighters have two minor injuries. we will continue to bring you any updates as they come into our newsroom. >> in the meantime, we are following a developing story it of stockton. the fbi involved in a case against that city's former mayor, anthony silva. a warrant is out for his arrest, but he's out of the country. you may remember he was arrested last august after he was accused of eavesdropping on at a youth camp and giving alcohol to under-aged kids. the fbi searched his house yesterday and the kids club that he run. they were seen carrying boxes of documents from his location.

>> i saw cops running in saying we have a warrant for this house. >> silva is currently vacationing in colombia but will cut his trip short and return early next week because of the arrest warrant. bad news if your weekend plans are heading to yosemite. big oak flat road has a massive gap in the pavement. they found a contractor to make repairs. but highway 140 is the only way to get to yosemite valley. helicopter crews monterey county will begin an unusual airlift. it is helping isolated in big sur that are now cut off because of a collapse on highway 1 during recent storms. a mudslide took out pfeiffer canyon bridge. today crews will deliver food, fuel, and mail to stranded residents and pet food.

we are getting ready for another rainstorm to move in this weekend. kari was talking about that. we sent a crew to the reservoir overnight. this is new video showing companies right now. the anderson reservoir is at 99%. more potential flooding for people who live in morgan hill and san jose. they levels really do need to drop more. the reservoir is only supposed to be at maximum 68% because of structural concerns in the event of an earthquake. and now to the president's first 100 days. this morning president donald trump is defending his attorney general jeff sessions. we are looking at a live picture of washington, d.c. right now where it is 9:00. president trump is calling the controversy a witch-hunt. >> a very clear pair for the capital. it all comes as jeff sessions

announced he would recuse himself. edward lawrence joining us live from washington to unwraful this story. good morning, edward. >> reporter: good morning, sam and kris. new, the russian foreign minister out of moscow saying almost the same thing that the president did, that this is a witch-hunt. the russians deny any involvement in meddling with our elections and deny any involvement in trying to influence this administration. now, democrats, they don't buy it. they're asking for the resignation of the attorney general. attorney general jeff sessions defends him, he should have disclosed his election season meeting making an important distinction about the conversation. >> let me be clear.

i never had meeting with russian operatives or russian intermediaries about the trump campaign. >> he recused himself from any investigation into russian meddling. during his confirmation hearing, sessions did not disclose his communication with the russian ambassador to the u.s. >> i did not have communications with the russians. >> in a statement, president donald trump said he could have been clearer, but this is a total witch-hunt. >> i think it was hyped beyond reason. and i think it was unfair. i was glad to be able to address it today. >> democrats don't buy it, calling the new attorney general a liar. >> i don't think it has anything to do with confidence in the attorney general. i think it has to do with not telling the truth under oath. >> the attorney general is the top cop in our country lied under oath to the american people is grounds for him to resign. >> now we are learning that the son-in-law of the president area kushner and michael flynn

met with the russian ambassador in trump tower before the inauguration back in december. that meeting was more of the equivalent of a 15-minute meet and greet. live in washington, edward lawrence. back to you, sam and kris. thank you, edward. president trump supporters plan to gather tomorrow at u.c. berkeley for a march and rally. this is part of a larger nationwide effort called march for trump. it is one of three pro-trump marches planned for tomorrow in the state. it is scheduled at 2:00 at martin luther king plaza in brooklyn life after kevin durant. we are getting a look at what that is like. it doesn't appear to be too pretty. that is matt barnes, the former warrior signed to come back and fill the spot on the warriors roster. the first full game they have done something they have not done in almost two years. back-to-back losses in the regular season.

it wouldn't be such a big deal. barnes trying to help fill a void for durant the next couple of months. bulls win 94-87. he is going to be out at least four weeks. 6:10 on this friday with clear skies. a nice sunrise. again, very cold. you get ready to step out the door in palo alto, 45 in san francisco. fairfield, 40 degrees. and still dry out there. if you're heading out this evening for first friday in oakland, it will be in the upper 50s. still cool as we go throughout the evening with a mix of clouds and also clear skies at times. heading into the weekend, i'm helping you make some plans. we'll talk about that as we go into the forecast in three minutes. as we get ready to head out to the roadways and an update on the rails.

>> so far the bart issues we had earlier have all cleared. we have bay bridge metering lights. palo alto, we are now seeing problems. this is for the crash that the bob redell reported a dump truck slammed into the overpass at 'em darrow. i'm watching 280. 101. i'm watching 880237. some folks might avoid the dumbarton bridge. look at this southbound just over the last seven minutes. there is that shopping mall with ikea. that's where it is slowed. a of a mile approaching the embarcadero. >> narrowly avoiding a martian moon. new overnight, the preventive nasa sat is light from colliding with one of mars's moons.

plus snapchat i po makes millionaires out of a couple of kids from stanford. it's okay to cry, right?

no more! we don't want anymore! [crying] ahhhhhhhhhh! everyday price and no extra monthly fees, unlike cable. speeds up to 45 megs, for $30 a month.

it's 6:14. as you make plans for the weekend, ready to head to the sierra, this storm system will bring in snow. and we are looking at the potential of the possibility of a couple of feet of snow this weekend. and you want to get out on the roads as soon as possible take the tire chains. i'll let you know how much this

will bring as far as the bay area coming up. rough time on the peninsula is slow. the last few minutes we have seen build from 101 to university. details coming up. mike, thank you very much. the satellite was circling mars and had to avoid crashing into one of the two small moons. it was circling mars and had to move to avoid crashing into one of the planet's two small moons. may haven spacecraft is studying mars's atmosphere. it had to steer clear of the martian moon. mike could have controlled this

traffic situation. nasa regularly monitors for possible collisions. meanwhile, your costco membership is about to get a little bit more expensive. they are raising fees in june by $5 to 60 bucks a year. costco's executive membership, which offers 2% rewards is going up $120 a year. costco hasn't raised member fees since 2011. >> we're going to call this the first day of the rest of snap's life. it is is the parent company. it has to figure out how to not be the next twitter. twitter roared ahead in its first days. now isn't even worth its own ipo price. 26-year-old evan is worth $5.3 billion. ben murphy picked up $4 billion yesterday. i do want to point out a few minutes ago nbc universal which owns this tv station bought a half a billion dollars of snap at the ipo price.

now we are a part owner. shares in snapple were higher yesterday. it is called the dr. pepper snapple group. i wonder if some people confused the stock yesterday. high-tech companies trying to fight harassment. one of the world's leading experts spells out what companies need to do and how employees can use social media to inspire other women to speak out. well, i don't think it's ever easy to come forward when you have been discriminated against. a, it's a personal decision. i think you have to take into account your family and the impact you as a result on a socioeconomic standpoint. i don't ever want to suggest that it is is easier. >> we will look at general motors new program called may haven that allows you to rent

cars by the hour. like the cadillac and new chevy volt. it is is one more reason not to own a car. it is fascinating that general motors, who makes cars, is getting into the thing that allows you not to own a car. if we share this car, we don't need that many cars out of detroit. cutting the ribbon on a new entertainment complex in memphis. a 200,000 square foot complex across from elvis presley's home. it was dedicated to the king's early years and a showcase to his cause.

this could be the shot of the lifetime. this is the portland trail blazers. a thunder player makes this three quarters court. >> deflection. he did it! >> he throws it. that is about approximate as hard of a shot as you can make. sadly for the thunder, despite the theatrics, they end up losing this game. >> well, i think he's hoping they will talk about that. >> nothing else matters at this point. it is going to be nice.

clouds will start to roll in. the rain holds off. as we get started, 43 in san jose. great start to the weekend. 45 degrees in palo alto and san francisco. 36 in santa rosa. as you get ready to get the kids out the door, it will be cold. heater is on in the car or waiting for the bus to arrive. you will be needing the jackets. it won't be as sunny. as the seven-day forecast comes up at the bottom of the screen, it won't rain the entire time. take a look at the timeline. we head through today. starting to see spotty light showers. especially for the north bay. and then that progresses to the south in time for dinner for of the south bay, east bay, and the peninsula. and it continues to roll on

through with waves of rain early sunday morning and throughout at least the first part of the day with much cooler temperatures. looking how much rain we can see, most of us getting a tenth to a quarter inch of rain. where some of the pockets of some of theier downpours set up, a half an inch of rain. no flooding. if you're going out on saturday morning for little league opening day, it is going to be starting out in the low 50s. throughout the day, seeing the highs at 60 degrees. once again, it will be dry. so great day for that. going farther to the north, russian river valley. it will be cooler saturday. looking at the traffic jam in palo alto. >> especially on the peninsula. willow all the way down to embarcadero.

hitting the brakes. only two lanes up embarcadero road. i'll show you on the maps. this is south 101, embarcadero. two lanes blocked. bob redell will get more updates on that. 280 a good option for you. stay on on the dumbarton bridge. 237. we'll track the rest of your commute. no for the rails. that's good news. back to you. still ahead, good news if you have allergies. coming up in three minutes, the new drug that could provide major relief for certain kinds of allergies. in medical news this rning...

some of those folks as you see have very particular -- thumbs up to you. no doubt die hard fans. what they had to say just a short time ago. >> the hole culture has been a big part of my life. >> i got off work at stanford. i'm a respiratory therapist. i've been waiting for this to come out since they announced it. >> a lot of us remember having game boys. this is the new real dole. the last guy is a pediatric respiratory therapist. he will take that game for his young patients to enjoy. the entire package including games is pretty pricey. $430 to $450. scott says the games are pricey. coming up next on today in the bay, once again, still ahead the

reason one family says bart is partly responsible for annan armed robbery that targeted a young boy. a dump truck with an overpass slowing down part of the morning commute. the reason it could be several hours before this section of 101 is reopened. you're watching today in the bay. right now at 6:30...a moing com

==kris/li== right now at 6:30, it is a morning commute mess.

you're looking at a live look at highway 101 at embarcadero. the overpass in palo alto. two lanes still closed after a late night crash involving a dump truck. thanks for joining us on this friday morning. >> bob redell is out there. a live report from him in just a moment. kari hall, you do these facebook lives every single day. people ask for my weekend plan, am i okay? >> yeah. i'll be doing facebook live at 9:00. once you get to work and settle in at your desk without the boss looking, of course, tune in to facebook live. at times there will be showers rolling through. i hope you make some plans. 37 degrees in the tri-valley. very cold to start patchy frost in spots. and in the north bay, check out that sunshine. 36 degrees right now. as we head through the day, going to see temperatures reaching the mid-six.

this accident happened just before 11:00 last night. a worker just dumped his load at a site on 101. according to chp, he forgot to lower the dump box. in the process of colliding with the overpass, chp believes it popped a wheelie. the driver ended up smashing his nose into the steering wheel, broke his nose. he was taken to the hospital. chp does not believe alcohol or drugs was involved. headlights southbound 101

hopefully through the lawsuit we will be able to change that of attitude on bart's behalf. station surveillance is robust. if we had found video evidence we would have shared the images with surrounding law enforcement agencies. a top nonprofit executive david lang is accused of being in possession of child pornography. he is the cfo at the bill wilson center. he has been associated with that center since 2004. the ceo says he is confident no kid were affected at that center. what are we expecting tore
