surprised the white house because it's not on the official schedule. mr. trump's turn around, if there is a turn around comes after 100 republican members of congress wrote in a letter asking him not to go forward with tariffs. at least not against every country with no exceptions. 100 signatures all from republicans. meanwhile the stormy daniels issue continues to cause problems. the white house said yesterday a mediator had ordered the actress whose real name is stephanie clifford not to talk about whatever it is she wants to talk about. here's white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders. >> the president has addressed these directly and made very well clear that none of these allegations are true. this case has already been won in arbitration and anything beyond that i would refer to you the president's outside counsel. >> now that might not sound like much but there is substance there. the white house has repeatedly

denied that the president has any connection to the porn star. but this is the first time we've heard the white house acknowledge the president or his representatives are involved in a legal fight that they won. a legal fight to keep her from talking. lots going on at the white house today. you got a video game summit, a tariff maybe getting signed. we'll follow it all on twitter and on facebook. 6:46 right now. this morning mystery solved. >> we may finally know what happened to the aviation pioneer amelia earhart. the university of tennessee study now says that new testing shows there's a 99% chance that skeletal remains found on a remote pacific i'll in 1940 are earhart's. here's one expert's take on the importance of these new findings. >> we've been working on this mystery for almost 30 years now. and we've assembled a great deal of evidence.

but these findings are "the crown"ing jewel of amelia earhart evidence. >> now the doctor he mentioned is the anthropologist behind the research. it supports the theory that earhart died as a castaway on a remote pacific island. have you seen this. the latest google doodle honoring international women's day. so when you use steven engine today you will be able to explore stories from women across the globe and you can share your own story by using the #herstoryourstory. >> i like that. >> turn to a co-worker and find out. >> there's some in the newsroom. >> you're surrounded by them. >> no. okay. i do want to know your story.

>> how about the weather? it's a good one. we're tracking a jet stream expected to bring widespread rain but first we got to get through these first couple of storms. a couple of storms on the way. right now the south bay, 56 degrees. peninsula 54. tri-valley 50 degrees. a couple of clouds out there. good-bye to the rain. north bay 47. san francisco at 52 degrees. still running a couple of degrees warmer than what we're supposed to be this time of the year. that's all right. let's talk about that rain or lack thereof. that storm system pretty much off to the east now all that moisture that moved in overnight mainly got to see it more in the north bay if you live south of the golden gate bridge you didn't even notice it especially if you're just waking up. today's forecast is mild overall in the low 60s for san francisco. 63 degrees. check out san jose a high of about 68. temperatures in the 70s. so this is what i want to take you through. talking about that rain. got that second storm system moving in. the storm last night was fairly

weak. another chance of seeing showers into the afternoon on saturday. look at that. pretty good. so far-right now showers will carry over into your sunday. early morning couple of scattered showers and then on monday we were tracking another storm system. that will back off the weekend. but let me move forward with the timeline. if i take you through tuesday night into wednesday look at all of that moisture. this is a good jet stream that looks like it will bring a really decent chance of seeing widespread rain all the way from northern california even down through southern california. and this looks like it could put a pretty good amount of rain totals in the bay area. we got several chances of seeing more rain but we're going to keep the icon for showers for next several days even though it won't be significant rain we want you to be prepared. this weekend keep in mind saturday evening into sunday morning we're expecting those showers feign look at the temperatures we're not going to get too cold. we're warming up just a bit. mike.
