the president says he would have vetoed that bill anyway. so there are four possible plans on daca, that called rounds king, that's the one daca kids would like best. it's dead. an older one by mccain and coons never made it past the planning stage. there was one by pat toomey, that one, no way, and donald trump had his own ideas he routed those through chuck grassley from iowa. that one got very few votes. all of these are dead. it's looking grim. donald trump could just reinstate daca, he is the one who set the deadline, but we don't expect that to happen, either. here we see the president yesterday afternoon as he spoke about the latest school shooting. he says he will visit that high school during his weekend trip to florida. republican mitt romney delayed his announcement he's running for senate out of respect for those shooting victims and this morning made

the announcement for real via a tweet. romney of course a frequent critic of the president. another trump critic former fbi director james comey says his new book is coming out april 21st. trump fired comey, even admits it was because comey was investigating the white house connection to russia. comey's firing backfired, it created the special counsel. speaking of the special counsel, cnn is reporting rick gates the former trump campaign adviser was made a deal with robert mueller turning states evidence. if that is indeed the case it would mean there are three major trump advisers who are now on mueller's side. we check everything that's going on in the white house every morning and then we tell you all about it on twitter as well. follow me @scottmcgrew. happening today the buffalo soldiers will be honored at the presidio in san francisco. the four all black u.s. army units were stationed there.

more than 400 soldiers never left the location and are even buried at the cemetery on site. new this morning we talked to a tour guide about the soldiers' dilemma. they fought for freedoms around the world but returned home to inequality. >> if i lose my life do i lose it just so i can live as half an american? and that was the dilemma that they went through for many, many years and yet they were one of the most exemplary units in the u.s. military. >> now, the tour today is from 1:00 until 3:00. you can check in at the visitors center. it's 5:48 time for a look at weather and traffic together. >> one of the great things we have here. because i always love what kari has to say about the weather. you tell us how to get planned for the weekend. this weekend you are saying one of those days could be really nice. >> that's tomorrow. a know a lot of people are just trying to get dressed this morning so we are going to talk about that, too. we're already dressed, right, so

we're good. we are starting out with cold temperatures this morning and a clean sweep as we get a look at storm ranger our mobile doppler radar. nothing going on here. it is another all clear and dry start. look at these temperatures, it is so cold, now just one degree above freezing in santa rosa, livermore and in morgan hill. low 40s for much of the inland parts of the bay area. now, we are going to start to see those temperatures warming up fairly quickly into the upper 60s today. up to 66 in antioch, 69 in san jose and san francisco, oakland 63 degrees, 69 today in napa. the seven-day forecast is up at the bottom of the screen and you will see how those temperatures will drop off after the next couple of days. as you are getting dressed this morning you do need layers and i'm talking about a scarf or a hat, also a coat and something nice and warm later on today. i think you will be comfortable with short sleeves and pants, also boots would be a good option and we are going to have some cool definitely winterlike weather over the next couple of

days. i wanted to talk about our rainfall deficit and how we're doing for this water year. santa rosa we've measured still about 13 inches of rain, just a little bit less than 13 inches, but we are lacking about 11 inches of rain there so our rainfall deficit is at 53% of normal. oakland has gotten about 7 inches of rain there and we still are missing about 5 inches. for san jose we got close to five inches of rain, but we are now missing about five inches of rain so we are only at 48% of normal. we are doing the worst there. unfortunately as we go through this forecast still looking at some very dry not only dry but cold weather and some gusty winds as an area of low pressure moves just to the east of us. it will be just enough to bring some scattered snowshowers to the sierra and a slight chance of some light snow in the farther northern parts of the bay area. for the north bay, but just really cold heading into next week. you can see those high temperatures at the bottom of the screen as we look at our

seven-day forecast. mostly clear skies, look at those mornings, even in san francisco we will drop down into the upper 30s. i'm land areas will most likely have freezing temperatures and that's going to be a big concern because we have had everything blooming under this very warm weather we have had recently. watch out for the potential of some of those sensitive plants being damaged. inc. mao, you spotted a problem on the san mateo bridge. >> i did, then i might have spotted the solution. i saw a tow truck traveling down this service lane, remember, these were added years ago, this is why, everybody jammed up here they can still get to the issue. there were flashing lights over in the median and i did see some folks moving around with some lights there as well as a tow truck arrived and it looks like traffic is starting to move a little better. this is westbound 92, the san mateo bridge heading over toward the foster city side. on the maps we will show you there is still slowing that shows up right around the toll plaza over to that scene. there is a build, more folks coming down 880. now, they may hear about this here or on the radio perhaps and then you can head over to the

dumbarton bridge as an alternate, but i don't see any additional traffic there. problem here may result in more traffic across the dumbo or 237 at the bottom, but so far it's holding steady. a smooth drive around the rest of the bay except for that san mateo bridge. we will look at the bay bridge toll plaza, we don't have metering lights just yet but we have the start of these folks backing up. they will probably turn the metering lights on any second, guys. back to you. coming up next on "today in the bay," we investigate. >> we've had a disaster. this affected thousands of lives and we just sit back and say, oh, well, we couldn't have done anything about t that's not true. >> wildfires destroyed thousands of homes in california, but what if we could build homes that survive them? i'm vicki nguyen. up next we investigate a different approach to saving lives and homes. we )ll soon knot for the raiders stadium in las vegas. but first happening now, we will soon know the final cost of the raiders stadium in las

vegas. leaders for the raiders will meet with the general contractor. the projected cost nearly $2 billion. plus a new president of south africa giving his state of the union address to parliament today after replacing the ousted jacob zuma.

welcome to friday morning. taking live look outside overlooking san jose. time to get up and get going. should be a nice day. the weather is changing this weekend so get out there and enjoy it. the dry before we have seen so far this year means we could be facing another deadly destructive wildfire season. >> what if the homes could better withstand the flames? vicki nguyen joins us with a new approach to save homes and save lives. >> reporter: researchers say wildfires are inevitable in california, so instead of looking at ways just to prevent them, we also need to look at how to resist them. that starts with roofs and vents and designing communities that will survive fire. fire scientists say just as we retrofit buildings to withstand earthquakes we should retrofit homes to withstand wildfire. we went to qai labs where they showed us the difference between roofs and vents designed to

resist fire and those that aren't. we also learned local governments could be leaving millions of dollars on the table when it comes to helping homeowners safeguard their houses. the state says it spends $75 million on wildfire prevention but agrees more could go toward retrofitting neighborhoods so they survive the next big fire. to see our full report and the technology go to nbcbayarea.com/weinvestigate. >> a lot of people are wondering how can i get my story investigated. there you have it right there on your tone. call that number 888-996-tips and as vicki said nbcbayarea.com/weinvestigate. new this morning the hunt is on for a bike thief in campbell. police releasing the surveillance images to try to catch that suspect. authorities say he took a bike quest 18 speed from sports basement over in the prune yard. dramatic video this morning showing a chaotic police chase police say that they first tried

to pull that driver over when they saw her driving erratically. several times during that chase that driver parked for a moment before speeding off again. that driver also weaved through highway traffic at high speeds with her lights off. very dangerous there. at one point that driver collided with another car and quickly sped away from the crash. eventually that driver was cornered by police after driving down a dead-end road. that's when she drove into a pair of police vehicles. police then swarmed that car and took that driver into custody. making worldwide headlines, the trial debt has been set for "el chapo" who is also known for escaping prisons. a new york judge has set his trial to begin in september. joaquin guzman is accused of running an international drug trafficking operation and for playing a major role in a drug war that has taken thousands of lives. yesterday guzman tried to address the court apparently to ask his family to pay for his legal fees, but the judge denied

his request to speak. medical marijuana could soon be coming to schools across the state. this is if new legislation is passed. that bill would allow local school districts to allow students k through 12 with special needs or severe disabilities to use medical cannabis products on campus, but it would not permit smoking of vapors at school. parents are currently required to remove their children from campus before giving them the medication. right now at 6:00 a nation in mourning. >> all of these people have greater intentions -- had great intentions and had a bright future. >> this morning we take a closer look at the lives lost in the tragic mass shooting at a florida high school as we learn more about the events leading up to that massacre. plus protecting overcrowding. new this morning the reason some apartments are fighting a proposal to add more classrooms at one south bay school. and breaking barriers, "black panther" isn't just setting box office records but

is tearing down barriers in hollywood. the surprise appearance from a local director that had moviegoers thrilled overnight. "today in the bay" continues right now. 6:00 right now, happy friday to you. another day of competition as well on track for olympic athletes. a live look at the called dron burning bright. thanks for joining us, i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. we will get to weather and traffic in moment but first we want to head over to pyeongchang where garvin thomas is live there. you've been there for a while now. what's going on this morning or tonight for you? >> reporter: well, marcus, tonight -- well, tomorrow -- you will figure it out. in prime time for you guys, i know that a legend returns to olympic competition and a bay area athlete goes for gold. first back to you. >>he
