you got used to the sunshine and then suddenly it was raining. we still have that same pattern over the bay area right now. and it's 53 degrees with cloudy skies in the tri-valley as you step out the door it's also 53 degrees in the north bay and in, heading into today. highs reaching into the upper 60 in the tri-valley and the peninsula. 70 in the south bay. not bad. it will get warmer as we head toward the weekend, as all of the rain will die out. i'll have details on that in eight minutes. vianey is tracking a major slowdown for parts of it bay. >> the biggest slowdown is on the toll road. that's eastbound and westbound 80. right now, also seeing slowing in morgan hill. northbound 101, it appears to just be a fender bender, but it's just enough to have the cars backing up and it looks like the southbound side is also seeing slowing, and that's because people typically tend to look over. the drive times right now, tri-valley drive times, we're reporting that accident. we have been reporting it all

morning long. westbound 580 to 680. it's seeing a delay of 26 minutes, which is not that good for this hour. southbound 680 to vargas road, about 15 minutes, and westbound 84 to 680, about ten minutes. all in all, in san jose, 101 is looking like a smooth commute, although we have a lot more cars out on the roads. back to you. >> thank you. coming up today, we have been following this for the last several days. a group of tenants rights activists continuing a hunger strike as the san jose city council gets ready to consider an eviction ordinance. >> bob redell is outside city hall to explain why activists are pushing for this ordinance to pass. landlord groups say it's just not necessary. good morning to you. these people, some of whom say they have not eaten since friday, they're on a hunger strike. to try to convince the san jose council who meets later today to pass a new law that would limit

the reasons why landlords could evict tenants. currently, you can be evicted for no causesoever. according to city records, there were 2200 so-called no cause evictions in san jose between the year 2010 and 2016. the silicon valley renters rights coalition which has organized the hunger strike believes that number could be higher because some evictions go unreported. the proposed new ordinance which does have support on the city council would require that landlords have a just cause to evict. it would also push landlords to be more attentive to tenants complaints. they counter with a statement, against the proposed ordinance. they say, san jose already has lawed to prevent landlords from eviblthing tenants for financial gain. the city needs to enforce those laws rather than create new legislation, more regulations and additional layers of

bureaucracy. bob redell, today in the bay. >> we know we'll be tracking this all day. >> 6:03. day three of the manhunt for the suspect who killed an elderly man and then posted that murder on facebook. police are now expanding that search nationwide. federal and local law enforcement officers are looking for this man, 37-year-old steve stephens, in at least five states. 74-year-old robert godwin was killed on sunday in cleveland. and yesterday, dozens of family and friends held a vigil for that man. the mother of his -- two of his ten kids says that the outpouring of love and support she's received from the community is helping her to cope with the tragedy. >> i never knew how many people cared. how many people show support. showing me and my kids love. i mean, it fills my heart. it makes me feel better. >> there is now a $50,000 reward

>> 6:45. new this morning, parents in palo alto are voicing concern about the school district's new sex education curriculum. the palo alto unified school district is asking a redwood city nonprofit called health connected to teach sex ed to seventh graders. some concerned parents say some of the lessons are a little too graphic for their kids and encourage risky behavior rather than prevention. the district says the curriculum is updated to be in compliance with state law. >> a massachusetts man accused of killing a former google employee will be arraigned today. angelo ortiz is facing attempted murder charges and attempted rape charges in the death of vanessa marcote, killed out on a jog near her mother's home about 50 miles west of boston. it happened last august. >> great resort and casino looking to expand again by adding another 200-room motel. a public hearing on that

proposed expansion tonight. the new wing will be built on an existing parking lot and it would employ 150 people. you remember the casino added a 200-room hotel last november for $175 million. >> 6:47. happening today, former mexican president vicente fox will speak at stanford university about the future of u.s./mexico relations. during his speech at palo alto high school yesterday afternoon, fox criticized president trump as he has plenty of times before. he said leadership without compassion will fail. he also said that the nafta agreement is not the disaster that president trump claims and that it should be renegotiated and improved rather than scrapped. also happening today, president donald trump heads to wisconsin to speak with employees of a tool company. the president will tour the headquarters of snap-on tools in kenosha this afternoon. the facility is within house speaker paul ryan's congressional district, though ryan himself will not be there today.

protesters are planning to meet in a park across the street from that company's headquarters. and the president is going to use that event in wisconsin to sign an order to buy and hire american. >> scott mcgrew, that is an order that is mostly an encouragement, really. >> that's right. an executive order, but it doesn't mean you have to buy a chevy instead of a hyundai. the president is going to direct the labor department to pay close attention to the hiring of foreigners, particularly through the popular h1b visa. that's one that high-tech uses to bring in workers, generally from yeah and china, when the companies say they can't find skilled american workers. now, the current h-1b lottery is currently under way, and we saw far fewer applications this year, about 200,000. that's 16% less than last year. of course, keep in mind, those 200,000 are chasing 80,000 visas. the president want you to hire

american. he wants to buy american as well. that's the other half of today's announce. sometimes hard to do. nbc news has documented even ivanka trump's clothing line doesn't buy american sometimes. since the election day, the apparel brand run by trump's daughter has imported 56 shipments of ivanka trump's products from china and singapore. north korea still an issue this morning. not much new to report to you, but the fear of a catastrophe on the korean peninsula hasn't balted. the u.s. is sending anti-missile missiles to strategic spots right now. the missiles by the way, created and designed in sunnyvale. finally, a close eye on an election in georgia. a special election to replace tom price, who is now on president trump's cabinet. can a democrat win the seat? this happened in kansas last week and a democrat did not win, but they're hoping traditionally republican voters are disappointed enough they might switch sides in georgia. so far, though, guys, democrats 0-1.

>> thank you, scott. >> all right, keeping tabs there. scott examining our president's tweets, executive orders and spoechs each morning on today in the bay. he says this works both ways. he would like to hear from you too. share your thoughts with scott on twitter @scottmcgrew. >> now, let's take a look at that forecast. we know vianey has been watch the roadways as mike and his kids are on spring break. i hope they got out of town because this is no spring break weather. >> my son is on spring break, too. he's been going to the "y" and park when we have the sunshine, but that's the key. >> peeking out under there somewhere. >> every now and then, but he's really excited about being off of school, but not that excited about the wet grass at the park. so we are going to see the rain off and on. temperatures are in the mid 50s. 53 degrees as you head out the door in the tri-valley. a lot of those schools are still going on. you want to make sure that the kids have a little rain gear today. and we go into this afternoon,

going to see that mix of sun and clouds. temperatures reaching 67 degrees in milpitas, and in morgan hill, 68. also 68 in danville today. mid to upper 60s in a few spots hitting the low 70s. on the peninsula, we're in the mid to upper 60s there. palo alto, 69 degrees. and the embarcadero too at 62 degrees today. santa rosa, 66 degrees. looking at a little bit of rain. some of the heavier rain we had this morning has since pushed off towards the east. we still have the clouds left behind. and the low visibility and the mist and drizzle from the north bay to san francisco. you're looking out the window. it looks really soggy, and you might want to make sure you grab a hat and some long sleeves. it's one of those days where it will be at times wet but then you want to be comfortable as the sunshine comes out. and there will be still some rain moving through as we go hour by hour. at 8:30, rain moving back into san francisco and parts of the south bay. and then other times we just

have cloudy skies. still some spotty showers and early afternoon for the santa cruz mountains and the south bay and a slight chance that a few of those downpours could contain thunder and lightning. we'll watch out for that. all clear for most of the day tomorrow, and then here we are late tomorrow night into early thursday morning, there will be some more showers moving through. but it looks like a lot of that will be clearing out in time for the end of the week and temperatures reaching into the upper 60s in san francisco. inland areas, take a look at these temps for the weekend. up to 79 degrees on sunday. we're going to go from early spring to late summer that quickly around the bay area. as we head over to vianey, tracking what's happening on the waze app. any slowdowns? >> a few slowdowns. if we take a look at the map right now, chp is also reporting it looks like a traffic collision here. 101, right at 114 near willow road, a lane blocked. we're seeing some backup, but our wazers, nbc bay area wazers,

remember that crash earlier that they were really mention out there? we were seeing the major slowdown. they're still reporting big backups near palo alto from sunnyvale to woodside. it does offer you three additional routes. 13 minutes near los altos, taking the 28 north. it makes you exit before the backup really begins, and then the second route, about 19 minutes. menlo park, so gives you a couple options of what to take before heading out so you don't get caught in all of this nast backup. it's only tuesday, but nobody likes traffic. >> we sure don't. >> that's the truth. thank you very much. >> it's 6:53 right now. coming up, we'll take a quick look at the top stories on today in the bay including the expanding manhunt for the man accused of killing an elderly man in cold blood and then posting the video of the killing on facebook. >> but first, breaking news overseas. we're just learning police in france have thwarting what has been described assane imminent terror attack. they have arrested two suspected
