you see the slowing developing. folks usually take 242 as a cut-through to cut the cornerback between this and 680. instead, folks taking highway 4 towards 680, south towards the merge with 242 and everything should be just fine. two crash, concord and san jose. dirt bikes and atvs taking over the bay bridge. nearly 30 vehicles took over the lanes last night in what chp is calling a scary sideshow. pete suratos join us live near the bay bridge. an all too familiar scene hept except this time finally an arrest. >> reporter: good morning, scott. a very familiar scene indeed. as you mentioned, there were about 30 atvs and dirt bikes traveling east bound on the bay bridge last night participating in this sideshow. we want to show you two of the dirt bikes that were impounded. according to chp they say these atvs that were taking part were evading police and distracting

lunchtime. but still have a lot of rain, only a few pockets of some showers early afternoon and then this evening, the rain stars to become more widespread and a little heavy at times where we could see some of that rain moving in also a slight chance of some thunder and lightning. that will continue into tomorrow. going to see some rain moving through. you'll have to be prepared for just changing weather as we go into the rest of the week. it is going to be constantly changing over the next several days. we'll talk about that and how much rain to expect in five minutes. as we head over the mike, we are also looking at what to expect as you head through the weekend, road conditions you're facing as you head out the door this morning, tracking a couple of crashes around the bay area. mike? >> we're following concord right now. two major issues. concord, there's a second crash here so we'll focus on that first. southbound 242, the improvement, one lanes instead of two lanes blocked so southbound starting to show better speed coming off

highway 4. a lot of folks use that as the cut-through, but i say use the highway toward 680. clear roadways. highway 4 over here is an issue, just getting to the scene in the last couple minutes. we have a report here west bound highway 4, two lanes affected by this crash and this could be a big problem coming out of pittsburgh and bay point. that's the first area to show the commute out of antioch. we'll watch this corridor south of the venetia bridge. the rest of the north bay coming into the east bay and throughout the east bay looks really good. we're talking about no major problems here for the trivalley. we'll get back to the map. there we go. san jose crash. northbound 101, we still have that crash blocking two lanes. 545, there will be slowing just north of 880. back to you. >> busy there and in washington as well. finally happening today, fbi

quote, fake news and everyone knows it. also talk ak president trump's allegations of wiretapping at trump tower. leaders from both parties have said there's no solid evidence of that. the white house, though, not backing down at all. they say there is evidence and it needs to come forward. >> jay, much more happening on capitol hill as well. always busy. the neil gorsuch hearing also happening today. >> yeah. and he should face some pretty tough questions from democrats on the panel there as this nomination process or confirmation process really gets under way. but also look for them to take some of their questioning to outlying concerns with the trump agenda as it moves forward. they'll ask him how he plans to deal with situations that could be a part of that agenda. look, this is going to be a process that will likely last throughout the entire week here. it is a one-shot deal. the only chance these senators have to ask these questions so they want to make sure that they

are very full as far as getting all the information that they can here. look for them to also wonder about how he's going to deliver justice. will it be equal justice? and again, that will lean on some of the things the trump administration has done over the last couple of weeks. he likely will play it close to the vest, not wanting to say anything that may affect future rulings should he be approved. >> interesting to watch. jay gray, thank you. of course you can stay on top of today's hearings throughout the day with nbc news and our coverage of the hearings. continues at 7:00 this morning on the "today" show. that is when the hearing is expected to begin. 5:09 coming up. a must-see monday morning video. do you know what your kids are up to all night? these toddlers going viral for their antics.
