coats, i know you were mentioning when you went outside it's warm but inside your house was chilly. >> that was yesterday. >> i'm used to sleeping with my ac on. you don't need it during the day and even overnight because it's really nice outside. night and mild. we have a combination of 40s and 50s across the board. santa rosa 48, napa 42, oakland 47 and hayward 51 degrees. yes, we are not on the -- no 30s in sight. we haven't seen any 30s all week long. we will be climbing into the 70s but first let's check in with mike, he is tracking something on the east shore freeway. we had the earlier issue with the traffic break and the big rig involved in what sounded like a crash. we are looking at the rest of the bay and speed sensors are green all over the place, should be getting up toward the green level but still a little slowing around the scene where there may be activity over on the shoulder pest 580. chp said no problem after earlier traffic breaks but we are watching a little slowing getting toward the bay bridge.

no major problems. a quick look at the toll plaza shows you the cash lanes starting a little wait. we are following breaking news this morning out of san francisco. this morning fire crews are working to figure out what started a fire that burned two homes overnight. flames roque out about 3:00 in the morning on fulton street right by alamo square and the famous painted ladies. a three-story victorian home went up in flames that was under construction. the flames spread to a house next door forcing a family out of that home. no word on injuries and no word on a cause. pete suratos is at the scene gathering new details for us right now. we will check back in with him in half an hour. now to a developing story this morning, local businesses bracing as i.c.e. agents are zeroing in on northern california. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live in san jose with the immigration sweeps expected to happen soon. kris, good morning. >> reporter: a lot of folks might be going to work feeling

apprehensive, nervous today. some folks, though, might not go to work at all and that's because dozens of businesses in san jose and also in san francisco have gotten notices that they are going to be audited by the immigration customs enforcement branch that looks at hiring documents to make sure that the workforce is completely legal. now, this is a paper thing, but it could result in deportations as well. now, nbc bay area and telemundo 48 witnessed prior sweeps on raids. i can tell you from personal experience that come workers just stopped showing up at work for fear of getting swept up. according to i.c.e. similar raids in 2017 the entire year resulted in more than 300 arrests, fewer than half of them criminal and more than $100 million in fines and restitution for the businesses. we asked i.c.e. to explain how their homeland security investigations work and we were told that on monday, tuesday and wednesday of this week notices of inspection were sent to 77

bay area businesses, mostly san jose and san francisco. i.c.e. says this is an audit of hiring records, also known as an i-9 audit. employers have three days to provide records and then the agents show up to verify in person. now, the i.c.e. deputy director has said that these audits or sweeps are really about protecting jobs for the american workforce for u.s. citizens, but immigration advocates say that it also has the potential to break up families. we are going to track this throughout the morning and as we hear when it's happening we will let you know. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." live now to washington, d.c. where today president trump is expected to give republican lawmakers the go ahead to release a classified memo about the russia investigation. this comes despite warnings from the fbi about its accuracy and moves that are expected to cause political firestorm on capitol hill today. "today in the bay's" tracie potts is live in washington, d.c. with what we can expect

from this release. good morning, tracie. >> reporter: hey, ñ$marcus, expt at least three different ways this could play out this morning. the president is tweeting that the fbi and justice department top brass have politicized what should have been a solid investigation and now the president's decision on whether or not to release this memo on their investigation, well, it could determine not only what information goes public, but when. a senior white house official says president trump could give lawmakers the okay as soon as today to release the controversial classified russia memo. >> releasing the memo is going to show fisa abuse and misconduct at some of the highest levels of the doj and fbi. >> reporter: the memo allegedly describes how the fbi used information democrats paid for to get approval to eavesdrop on a trump campaign aide. the fbi says it's inaccurate and

misleading. democrats claim it's designed to discredit the fbi's russia investigation. they are calling on house intelligence chair devin nunez who wrote most of the memo to sit down. >> our investigation would not be credible or productive as long as chairman nunez is at the helm. >> president trump could dee classify the memo and release it himself. dee classify and give it back to congress or simply not object and let lawmakers decide what goes public when. >> this does not implicate the mueller investigation, this does not implication the dag, this is about us holding the system accountable. >> reporter: a white house official tells nbc the memo will likely be approved for release with none of the redactions requested by the fbi. tracie potts, nbc news, washington. at 5:05 on your friday morning after weeks of debate this morning we're finding out which three san jose elementary schools are scheduled to shut their doors at the end of the year. leaders say declining enrollment

has forced the closures. they voted to close dell loebl, glider and miner elementary schools. a lot of people shared up at the meetings. the redrawing of the boundaries is still yet to be determined. one of the signature sights in la mirror rend da may soon disappear. the lafayette crosses have become a distinct symbol commemorating the deaths of military members in iraq and afghanistan but the family that yzgát future of the 4,000 or so crosses still uncertain. >> the majority opinion is these crosses are shabby, they are not taken care of, maybe it's time for them to go. but there are other people who say, gee, we like it as an anti-war statement. >> the family that owns the land allowed them to be placed there as anti-war symbols and later

lafayette planner made them illegal, mostly to prevent similar memorials elsewhere. they will debate the crosses future on february 12th. the finishing touches being put up at u.s. bank stadium in minneapolis this morning. we are two days away from super bowl lii. >> wendy is live in minnesota this morning as the countdown continues. a lot ofa( excitement right no can imagine. >> reporter: you bet. good morning, laura and marcus. when you walk in here at the super bowl4!m experience you ge taste of all things football. so naturally we got a football. anybody who comes in here can buy a real wilson game sized football and you can have anything put on it. i just couldn't get over how big it is. literally takes two hands for me to hold. maybe i should take some lessons while i'm here. either way you start to think about it, this is not just about

a football game, it's about a full on show. >> nothing rivals this outside of an olympics. >> reporter: but this is one game on one field with more than 100 million people watching. >> people say is there is there a lot of stress. >> there's a lot of stress doing the super bowl but you are in tv what else would you rather be doing on sunday. >> reporter: super bowl sunday happens after countless numbers of man-hours by nbc crews. >> by the time game day comes around we're ready to go. we've practiced, rehearsed multiple times. >> reporter: also rehearsing eight to ten hours a day, halftime headliner justin timberlake. >> without giving too much away, we're doing a few things with this halftime show that they've never quite done before. >> reporter: but he won't say if a special guest might join him

>> i think the odds are good that i may haveo-6 a little can >> reporter: guests will just have to watch and see..n you get to(!ñ see2pñ a lot of t here at the super bowl  super bowl tickets and rings and old uniforms, the lombardidl trophy. it is really a big deal out here in minneapolis, but let's talk ticket prices. so if you want to come see the show in person, stub hub, the ticket resaler, says the most expensive ticket they have sold, get this, $27,000. thankfully that is a suite so they do get the food and the beverages. even if you just want a nose bleed seat you will have to at least pay, get this, 3 grand. or if you are lucky enough to sit in the comforts of your own home you can watch it for free on nbc, my shameless plug for

the day. >> i'm with you live. >> save the $3,000. >> spend it on guacamole. a reminder, we are that home for your super bowl pregame festivals as well. they're going to kick off the coverage at 9:00 a.m. on sunday, so it's a full day of super bowl fun. nice. >> we will be ready to watch it all. and sometimes people they want to get out and about on a sunday. hopefully the weekend is going to look good. lately it's been great. >> so far so good. it's shaping up to be another dry and warm weekend ahead. so that temperature trend that you're seeing in san francisco in the 50s, but notice how quickly we jump into those 60s. this similar temperature trend is not going to just continue through today, but also saturday palo alto also seeing a quick jump into the 60s, 61 degrees by 10:00 a.m. and check out by

1:00, already at 69. the entire bay area is expected to climb into the 70s by the afternoon. let's go ahead and get a check of traffic with mike. i still have a bone to pick with whoever designed that super bowl logo, it's looks like three i's. 52, 101, 85, 280 are moving smoothly through the south bay and east bay. no major issues aside from the earlier crash, even that moves smoothly but i still see more slowing than i expected at this time. there must still be activity on the shoulder. now, the bay bridge toll plaza is moving clearly but a quick look from the emeryville tamara we do see some slowing sensors and there is slowing, i think construction islbu picking up getting in towards san francisco past that firstmo7÷7kñ exit. coming up next on "today in the bay," new this morning, we uncovered new numbers on how many california cities are failing to meet growing housing demands.

we love numbers, especially today because today is the jobs numbers. [burke] vengeful vermin.

in the bay area. and that slow spell starting to come clean, this is west 80. i told you i hoped the sensors would improve, they are. the earlier crash cleared. now slowing in towards san francisco. we will see how this affects the backup that bay be building at the bay bridge toll plaza. thanks so much. it is 5:15. new this morning a new state report says nearly every city and county in california is failing to meet housing goals, only 13 are on track to meet guidelines including foster city and hillsborough and napa and sonoma counties. we looked through the report overnight. the state's housing department says over 97% of cities are failing to approve new housing to keep up with the population growth. cities are supposed to develop a person number of market rate housing and affordable housing. communities that failed on both will now lose the ability to reject certain types of development projects that includes menlo park, richmond,

alameda and san mateo counties. berkeley, fremont and san jose met their market rate housing goals but didn't issue enough permits for affordable housing. well, housing takes jobs and it's jobs friday. >> scott mcgrew, the committee has been on a tear. >> it really has. it's one of the longest strings of monthly jobs gains in all of american history. we will get the latest numbers this morning as the labor department releases the numbers for january. right now the unemployment rate sits at 4.1% which is very low. so low companies should be competing with each other for employees and that should push up people's salaries. way up. but it really hasn't and we can't figure out why it hasn't. another mixed day on the markets thursday. amazon turned in gonzo profits making a billion dollars in a single quarter. apple says fewer people bought the iphone x than expected. steve wozniak the co-founder of apple is weighing in on tesla. he says i don't believe anything elon musk says.

we've talked in the past about how tesla's elon musk constantly misses targets. he is months behind on manufacture of the tesla model 3. woz tells cnbc he owns two tesla model 3s, he says he doesn't like the autopilot feature very much but says they're beautiful cars. he says most of the time he drives his chevy volt. you remember yesterday i was showing you these jump bikes, uber will rent them out. they don't use bike racks, you just leave them wherever. i said some people find that to be an eyesore. a viewer sent in this movie, how can a bike be an eyesore. that's an eyesore and that's not an eyesore, a bunch of cars? that's well said. i'm not sure if he put that all together himself or if that was from something else. >> an architect maybe. >> i know. if you are going to tweet to me, do it with that sort of style. >> that's cool. >> he wanted to give you a view of what he was talking about. >> reminds me of when i used to play with cars as a little kid.

kind of a tomboy. that was cool. if you're feeling pretty adventurous how about trying this out? it is the world's longest zip line. you will have to go to the other side of the world to do. it opens today in the united arab emirates. it is a mile and a half zip line down the side of the country's highest mountain. you will be zipping along at 90 miles per hour until you get to the very end, you can fly like a bird but then you have to shake off some of the vertigo they say could hit you. >> can you imagine if you get stuck in the middle. >> like hello. wd-40 or something. >> then you probably don't get a cellphone signal. >> i've never zip lined. >> i have not done either of those. >> i have. >> you have? is it fun. >> it's so much fun. >> i'd be down. >> you said you used a clothesline. i heard that. >> it's the same thing. >> it's the same thing.

>> skydiving, probably not. >> i know tony one of our producers has sky divide and he told me he would do it again. would you do it again? >> no, i'm a responsible mother now. >> it's on my bucket list. >> if you are going skydiving or zip lining today will be the type of weather you need because we are not expecting a lot of wind, but definitely expecting plenty of sunshine. south bay right now at 50 degrees, peninsula 50, tri-valley 45, definitely on the milder side. if you notice in the icons not a lot of clouds for the majority of the bay area but we are seeing clouds in san francisco at 53 degrees right now, 47 degrees for the east bay and the north bay at about 48 degrees. the north bay still a little chilly out there. your highs for today with that ridge of high pressure will once again be reaching near record highs. check out san jose, a high of 76, milpitas 74, out near the east bay 74 for concord, oakland a high of 72 and along the peninsula also into the lower

70s. half-moon bay 73 degrees. you can expect a lot of people to be heading out to the beach today. embarcadero 74 degrees. san francisco is expected to climb into the 70s and maybe even the mid 70s by the afternoon. santa rosa 75 degrees and this is the reason why, i'm fast forwarding this timeline through super bowl sunday, you can can a much that here on nbc, we have that ridge of high pressure. look at the timeline for the next several days, this is fast forwarding through the 9th, those warm temps will continue, that high pressure ridge is holding on strong even through the following week after that. this is all the way through thursday. so long range outlook right now we're definitely seeing the next several days of plenty of sunshine. if you notice we will keep the 70s through sunday, but then we stick around and we will see upper 60s but those 70s seem to definitely be sticking around in the inland spots. a warm weekend ahead, but let's check in with mike. 70s good temperatures. we're looking over toward the rest of the bay, a smooth flow, speeds probably -- let's be hon

eggs, close to 70 as well, 65 is the limit, though, for the freeways. getting closer to at least respectable speeds, still some slowing shows up westbound interstate 80 past highway 4. the activity must still be on the shoulder, a minor distraction as we see a build heading down that area. over toward the bay bridge we've seen some slowing over toward san francisco. there was a lot more slowing here, starting to ripple back so i think they've cleared all the construction. look at the incline, the volume starting to build, and that means the bay bridge backup there it is at the approach, they must have turned the metering lights on seconds ago. the rest of the bay moves well. back to you. >> thank you, mike. 5:41. coming up next on "today in the bay," pop star justin timberlake making some waves in the sports world, just days before super bowl and his big appearance. new this morning the reason he says he will never let his son

a very good friday morning to you. thanks for joining us for "today in the bay." look at these folks, would you join them in line? would you wait in line for anything? these folks think it's worth waiting in line for a good beer. an ipa. every year they only make a select small batch and people line up overnight just to get it there. that's up in the north bay this morning. they say it's worth it. they're up and about. it is getting close to 5:30. thanks for joining us, i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. it's not raining, vianey has been following this. today will be a nice day to stand in line for eight hours or so if you want to. >> dry day, but i think it's hilarious, a lot of people were bundled up with blankets wrapped all the way around, that's

california for you, upper 40s, low 50s, it's mild but looks like it's in the 20s when you look at the people waiting in line. hamilton we don't have a lot of sunshine but we do have plenty of lights. right where those folks are standing upper 40s for santa rosa, 42 for napa. 47 degrees in oakland. san jose at about 50 degrees and san francisco 52 degrees. we've kept the mild temperatures for the past couple days and it's going to be a long stretch before we see a drop in the temperatures and also the arrival of rain. we are not tracking any rain through the weekend. a quick look at your santa clara temperature trend by 1:00 upper 60s, 69 degrees and eventually will climb into mid to upper 70s for parts of the bay area. mike is tracking a problem on the bay bridge. >> or so we hear. chp has reports of some sort of disabled vehicle right around the treasure island area. you see the good spacing as you approach that tunnel, doesn't look like it's here, maybe something "behind the lights" at the tower perhaps because it

does bog down but there is the traditional perspective, it looks a lot slower anyway. we did see a lot of slowing and there was the report of the disabled vehicle. the metering lights may be slowing down a bit but the traffic coming down the east shore freeway is very manageable right now, the backup only from west grand avenue and that's the only real slowing throughout the bay. i will get an update on what chp says for that span coming up. 5:31. we are following breaking news. a fire near one of san francisco's most iconic landmarks. firefighters responding to at least two home fires, this is a block away from the named painted ladies. >> pete suratos joins us live near the scene at alamo square this morning with the very latest. >> reporter: good morning to you. you've got fire crews clearing up shortly, but that fire started in a three-story victorian home that was under construction. it was vacant at the time. and then it spread to a building on the right. in fact, i want to show you guys

you have fire crews in this area. down there is where that fire started. let's show you guys some video from earlier when there was a bigger scene. you will get a better idea of what we're talking about here. there is a black tarp over the building that was under construction, it spread to the building next to it on the right side, there were five people inside of that building where it was affected including one toddler, they were displaced but the good news is there were no injuries to those folks. the damage to their building is minimal. now, since this is on an uphill slope fire says it was difficult getting into that vacant building. they had to use heavy machinery just to get through some of the obstruction inside of that vacant unit. i spoke to a resident who said he heard chainsaws this morning, came out to the scene. here is what he had to say. >> the chain saw woke me up. someone at the fire department must have been using a chain saw at 3:15. i popped my head out the window and saw the whole department

down here and one of the firemen saw me and flashed his light up and motioned me out. so i woke my roommates up and said we better get out, looks like the place next door is under fire. >> reporter: the fire engine still here on fulton and scott. they are expected to clear out shortly. for folks this morning this is a busy thoroughfare going on fulton so they are hoping to clear this out so folks can get there for their morning commute but the cause of this fire is still under investigation. live in san francisco, pete suratos for "today in the bay." 5:33. happening today, people who say corporate buses in san francisco don't mix plan to air their frustration during the morning commute today. protesters plan in san francisco against the growing tech bus phenomenon. those buses transport workers to and from silicon valley, even though the city now has a deal in place with companies and bus operators, opponents say the system needs fixing. protesters plan to gather at one

good morning, it is 5:44. as you're making your breakfast it is 50 degrees right now in san jose but overall we are in the 40s and 50s at this hour. we will eventually climb into the 70s. we will talk about your daytime highs for today and what you can expect as we head into the weekend coming up. and that crystal clear view of the bay bridge, notice the taillights moving into treasure island tunnel, also coming out of the tunnel eastbound, there is a stall, there you see the flashing lights around the tunnel, so traffic flows smoothly out of san francisco as well. we will show you where things are bogging down. just in, the labor department says u.s. employers added 200,000 jobs in january, that's better than expected. the unemployment rate demanded 4.1% for the fourth straight month, the lowest level since 2000.

most economists expect it to fall further this year. paychecks rose at the fastest pace in eight years. new this morning union city police looking for this missing man who they say has a diminished mental capacity. eric aiken was last seen wearing cut off jeans without a shirt. developing this morning, a decades old investigation once again is heating up surrounding the drowning death of movie star natalie wood. once again her husband actor robert wagner is the focus. natalie wood died in 1981, drowning after a night of drinking aboard a yacht near catalina. her death was called an accident. authorities now say witnesses have emerged, however. one witness remembers hearing yelling and crashing sounds from the couples state room. wagner is again being called a person of interest. happening today, more victims testify against disgr e disgraced dr. larry nassar. this as new evidence emerges

about a possible cover up inside the u.s. olympic committee. current and former gymnasts will address nassar. the team u.s.a. doctor has already been sentenced for up to 175 years on sexual assault charges in a separate case. a secret e-mail obtained yesterday by nbc shows in 2015 a top usoc member was old about the sex abuse allegations against nassar. aly raisman and mckayla maroney were among the gymnasts making the allegations. the usoc member was ordered not to share that information. >> i represent close to 30 little girl who were young teenagers who were molested after they received that e-mail. >> if the latest allegations are true, the usoc knew about nassar for more than a year before the story went public. 65 women are scheduled to present victim impact statements in the phase of the sentencing

hearing. today is the day for the memo. >> scott mcgrew, we expect the house to release that sensitive document everyone has been talking about. >> the memo if you are just coming up to speed on the memo it's written by california republican devin nunez that access the fbi of trickery and malfeasance as it investigates donald trump. now, we can't tell you if the memo is factually right or wrong because we haven't seen it. they few people have. president trump can authorize its release right now it's classified and we have every expectation he will authorize the release. now, there are really two possibilities about this memo, one, it's exactly what the republicans say it is, it's shocking evidence of fbi miss behavior. fox news which hasn't seen it, either, says it's the biggest scandal in american history. that's one possibility. the other possibility is it's an attempt to discredit the fbi in order to cast doubt on robert

mueller and the rest of the investigation into president trump. republican leaders insist this has nothing to do with mueller. that's certainly paul ryan's position, he says this is entirely about the oversight of the fbi, nothing to do with mueller. but donald trump is already tweeting the opposite message this morning. there's also new information about the resignation of fbi deputy director andrew mccabe earlier this week. donald trump jr. says his father fired mccabe. he said so in a tweet. but the white house insists it did not fire mccabe. this wouldn't be the first time donald trump jr. has tweeted something that says the opposite of what his father says. i will leave you with this, this is a tweet from white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders from november 2016 back when hillary clinton was pushing back against the fbi. ms. sanders tells us when you are attacking the fbi agents because you are under criminal investigation, you are losing. well, we always keep you up to date on twitter. i love hearing your messages.

a little chillier in the north bay at 48 degrees and east bay at 47 degrees right now. now, parents, if you are getting the kids ready for school a quick look at your san francisco school bay forecast. we are in the 50s but notice how quickly it's going to warm into the afternoon. by the time they head out to recess it will be in the 60s and don't be surprised if when you pick them up it will be in the 70s. it is colder, though, in the north bay so santa rosa i think bundle your kids up a little bit more because look at the temperatures, waking up to some 40s and eventually climbing also into the 60s by 12:00 and check out 1:00, 71 degrees. i think nice light layers will do. your overall highs for today will be into the mid to upper 70s, not just for the south bay but also east bay. 72 for san mateo. check out san francisco, 74 for the embarcadero and north bay also in the low to mid 50s for santa rosa 75 degrees. here is a quick look at the next seven days of course super bowl sunday is expected to be a gorgeous day, temperatures in the 70s, but if you notice there

is no rain in sight. the icons right now show plenty of sunshine. we do have upper 70s in through monday and high pressure is very strong, that's going to linger for the next several days. we are not expecting any rain in the forecast for the next 10 to 12 days, possibly even two weeks. definitely a long time before we are expecting rain. looks like mike is tracking a couple things in the tri-valley. i'm only looking at the last few minutes. a smooth drive, a nice flow for the last few minutes. mostly green, a little yellow shows up for san jose 101. typical right around the airport, a little slowing. also a little more traffic west 580 but slowing around vasco. there is a crash on the shoulder and distraction as that crash moved over, but by the time you get to 84 you are just fine. then 680 south slows a bit through sunol. there was wood debris reported across a couple lanes and possibly a fender-bender through that area heading down in

through fremont. speeds are starting to recover right now. toward the bay bridge no major slowing, transit no delays right now. we will get a quick look at palo alto, show you 101 on the peninsula, flows nicely past university into the silicon valley. coming up next on "today in the bay," a woman says her warning about a teacher fell on deaf ears. >> he groomed me from the time i was a freshman in high school. >> we investigate new allegations in the sexual abuse scandal at an all girls catholic school in the south bay. the new film "winchester" is actually getting slammed by critics and moviegoers. we just checked on rotten tomatoes and it's only getting a 6% rating. the movie about the haunted house in san jose opened to a wide release last night. creator of some of the most famous superheroes recovering this morning, stan lee rushed to the hospital after having shortness of breath and
