moderate air quality for the north bay, the bay and the coast, and the south bay as well. looking at the high temperatures reaching into the mid-40s, starting out in the mid-40s with the high temperatures tooday in the upper 60s. the south bay is going to feel like early fall rather than the middle of winter. i'll have a look at the rest of the forecast, bring in winter-like rain to the area. mike, you are tracking the bay bridge closely. >> for two reasons. we are looking at a little bit of a back up. we may see traffic there. likely, it is going to hold off. out of san francisco, there's a little delay toward treasure island and the tunnel. the disabled vehicle in that noncommute direction. you see that little bit of slowing. hopefully give us an update and the crews get out there. meanwhile, the rest of the bay

longer a concern. they are working to save it. as a result of the fire, they are telling me the power has been shut off on this street. mostly industrial businesses in the area. as far as when the power is going to be turned back on is to be determined. back out here live, you can see the issues and put out the fire, looking for those hot spots, physically sifting through the debris. fire personnel will be here on the ground for quite some time. we are going to continue to monitor this and have an update in a half hour. live in santa clara, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> thank you, pete. happening today, we expect to learn more details, new details about the man accused of hitting and killing a chp officer. that happened on christmas eve. police have said it was an apparent drunk-driving crash. 22-year-old, whose name has not been released was hospitalized with serious injuries. investigators say the suspect was under the influence of

she was not seriously hurt. >> whether it's lighting off illegal fireworks, firing off guns or banging pots and pants together. it's a fun time to celebrate. we ring in the new year with family and friends. the unfortunate part is some of the things can end tragically. >> police saying they received several other calls for gunfire. shooting a gun into the air is illegal in california. california is now the nation's first sanctuary state. california will block local police departments from using resources to investigate, interrogate, detain or arrest anyone for immigration enforcement. the law establishes schools, public libraries and health facilities as safe zones. the president is back to work after spending the holidays in florida. >> hi, scott mcgrew, a lot to do. >> there is. good morning. most of it in the capital where congress needs to get to work.

president trump will meet with republican leaders to map out priorities. the house gets back to work next week, the senate returns tomorrow. the other top priority is solving that daca problem. president trump announced the d.r.e.a.m. act saying congress should solve it. everyone in washington says they will do something. so far, nothing. the senate is going to get back to work without senator al franken from minnesota. he is resigning for real today, a month after announcing he would. a developing story worth watching. south korea reached out to north korea and offered talks after north korea said it might be willing to send a team to the upcoming winter olympics in south korea. this would shut out washington and trump, who threatened north korea in a series of tweets.

we look at what's happening in washington now that everybody is getting back to work. every day on "today in the bay," we also talk on twitter. you can reach me there. >> thank you, scott. country music singer and star, kari underwood is revealing more about a fall she suffered and why she's been out of the public eye. we knew she broke her wrist as she fell outside her home. underwood says she injured her face and received dozens of stitches. she is still healing and her face does not look the same. underwood added, she's grateful because her injuries could have been worse. >> she's a great talent. strong, beautiful voice. oklahoma girl. >> she is okay with us. kari, okay with us, the rain chances as well. >> yes. >> we are ready for it.

>> we so need this rain. january is supposed to be the wettest month of the year. hopefully we'll see that as we go into the next several days and weeks. we are starting with dry weather. it's 44 degrees as you head out the door in the tri-valley. looking live in pleasanton and the middle of the screen, san francisco, 49 degrees. 41 in the north bay. a bit of a milder start compared to what we have had recently. the seven day forecast is at the bottom of the screen showing temperatures in the 60s, at least for a while. 68 degrees today in san jose. 64 in san francisco and 66 today in santa rosa. getting started this morning, getting dressed, you need a warm jacket or coat. later today, you will be comfortable wearing light, long sleeves and jeans. a good day for that. as we will start to have more clouds moving in, no need for the sunglasses. you can leave the umbrella home.

the rain holds off until tomorrow. as we track the storm system, producing light rain offshore, this will work inland tomorrow. we will have that rain moving in from west to east as we go into tomorrow afternoon. as we take a look at the time line, by tomorrow afternoon at 3:30, we'll start to see that rain developing and continuing off and on through at least early thursday. another round of rain by friday. so, a few waves of this and we'll have a slight chance of a few thunderstorms, especially on wednesday afternoon. with this first round of rain, we are looking at the potential of up to an inch of rain around santa rosa and lacking more than six inches of rain for the last month or so. then, looking at oakland, well, we are maybe going to measure up to an inch of rain. so, it looks good there. there will be another round of rain moving in between sunday and monday. so, more showers and possibly a few thunderstorms, temperatures cooling off. san francisco will be in the

mid-50s this weekend. inland areas go from 67 degrees today to 58 degrees by friday. i'll have more on that and our rain chances coming up. mike is tracking the back up at the bay bridge. >> the bay bridge back up, also a misnomer, the fast track lanes are the slow ones. that's where we have the back up. the cash lanes are holding up. overall, they are seeing a lighter volume. we are easing back into the workweek. some need more easing than others. the fast track back up is past west grand avenue. if you bring cash, that's your edge. use cash and you can get through the toll plaza easily. more travel time from highway 4 to the bay bridge, 17 minutes. it's not bad, but compared to the last couple weeks, an extra three to four minutes. the build is on as you approach the bay bridge. it doesn't reflect the speed sensors in the maze. there's slowing south 680

approaching 84. it sounds like a disabled vehicle, i'm going track that slowing out of pleasanton. the south bay, no problems. an easy drive in the peninsula. of course it's always light at this time. nothing unusual. on the peninsula, hillsdale, the caltrain parking lot is closed. that will be the case for the next year. you are going to use the lot off south delaware. that is farther away. no delays for other situations as far as the rails go. that's great for traffic. the north bay, we see the slowing for highway 37. we are talking ant that. that's the biggest change. vallejo, that's the bottleneck. back to you. >> more green. i like that. thanks, mike. coming up, a new year's day unlike any other. a police chase that led to a baby born on a highway. >> oh, my. first happening now, caltrain riders, you need to find a new parking lot in san
