for you, four oakland police officers being interviewed after they shot and killed a man who police say was armed. the incident unfolded last night outside a home on 40th street near market a few blocks west of the macarthur bart station. police and s.w.a.t. teams were called in after reports of a man with a gun. chairman of the oakland police commission went to the scene last night. he explains how police say the whole incident began. >> that individual is of caucasian male, he was armed and what happened was there was an individual who was -- by the scene noticed that there was a man on the ground with a gun and so he called 911. >> police have not released the name of the suspect. oakland police are planning to release more details later this morning. this week some people in the tri-valley will see and hear more helicopters. national guard aviation units are holding annual emergency incident training. it runs through next weekend at camp parks in dublin.

there are crews from california, oklahoma, arizona and colorado. it is 6:18 on your monday morning. weather and traffic together. oh, monday. >> we love you so. >> poor monday. >> and our missing hour it's technically 5:19 right now. >> don't fool people. >> you're right. literally it is 6:19. you know, don't get that wrong. if you're getting ready for work right now here is a look at what you can expect as you're heading out the door. 48 degrees in the tri-valley, peninsula 50 degrees and we were seeing some fog but that's starting to burn off quite nicely. as a matter of fact, san francisco has gotten clearer within the past couple of minutes, 49 degrees in san francisco and our microclimate highs for today will be rather warm. we're talking 60s and 70s across the board. 66 degrees for san francisco, san jose at 73 and, yes, we are tracking rain. remember i told you i had your back and i was looking at the latest model runs. here is what they're showing, by

4:30 we have showers moving into the north bay and also into parts of the south bay, the santa cruz mountains is expected to see some rain at about 3:00, but if i fast forward this timeline through 7:00, 8:00, we see this line of showers creating widespread rain and then we get a cold front that's going to move in overnight and that's what's going to bring moderate to heavy downpours in through tuesday morning. yes, rain early and changing to scattered showers by tuesday afternoon. but another big concern is going to be those wind speeds. we are expecting gusty conditions to start kicking up later tonight. 20 plus miles per hour and then we're tracking that storm system that's expected to bring, get this, over 60 inches of possible snow for the sierra this weekend. so we've got big changes ahead in the form of several storm systems and we're definitely going to see a lot of rain with temperatures dropping down by tomorrow, the reason for that is because that cold front is going to drop us down by about ten

degrees in some spots down in towards the 50s. let's get a check of the roads with mike. we will start with the rails. i just got word ace train has hit a vehicle. i'm not hearing about any injuries, all i know is that the train is stopped in the fremont area because of a vehicle strike. that's the detail that i have right now. ace train riders anywhere south of that fremont spot will be held up right now and we will get you more details as they come in. ten minute delay on the fremont line for bart as well. just a minor delay from what i understand. more delay for northbound 880 up toward 66 and high street where that crash blocks the fast lane. you will have to get around that. you can see on the freeway all lanes except for one are open. the rest of the bay looks all right. the bay bridge toll plaza there is a disabled vehicle getting cleared from the area, anywhere south of there is not a problem. coming up next on "today in the bay," a square on stage for a country superstar.
