right near the pomona street of off-ramp and they think the ramp is over and traffic should be going but much better off to the venetian bridge which is 680 across to the east and highway 4 would be the access. we've seen the back-up over the last couple of minutes. we have closed t-- closed the freeway for the second time and there is another accident there. and so we'll track this up to the bridge and the venetian bridge into the north bay is your option. westbound, though, that compute is okay coming into the area out of sal an os. and the second issue is -- a near closure. 880 is closed here because of a truck crash there as well. we'll take a live shot from our comfortab -- to the camera and the video of the fire earlier. and we have gotten that fire under control and don't see it

on the live camera but that big rig here as well. two lanes are blocked. they've taken the trailer off the roadway and you see approaching just past 98 restricted to half of the freeway and the back-up is half a mile. so we're tracking these problems. and rest of the traffic flow is expected to be light, but this is a bad start. >> very rocky start for friday morning. in the meantime, let's hope that kari has an easier forecast. >> well we do have some spotty showers in parts of the bay area this morning. and that is what we'll be track throughout the day. looking at storm ranger, our mobile doppler radar shows all of that activity over the central valley. look at lightning east of i-5 and through sacramento. so as we zoom into what we're seeing closer to home, ukiah and also down to clear lake seeing light showers. and then most of the rain is very spotty. but as we get a closer look, we are going to see mostly cloudy

skies and at times some rain moving into parts of the peninsula as well as the north bay. so i'll keep an eye on this and take a look ahead to the rest of the day in a few minutes. >> >> other breaking news, you may have seen it in the nbc news special report, harvey winen hs. we just spoke with someone from new york city where weinstein is expected to face charges that he raped one woman and forced another to perform oral sex on him amid at least a hundred allegations from abuse against winestein and also under investigation for sex crimes in los angeles and london. and he has been accused of sexual harassment, sexual assault and rape. he claims all of the sex was consensual. back here at home. a follow up on the highway 280 flooding we were talking about yesterday. caltrans tells us they're

hit the road. but you are going to have some problems toward the sierra. look at lightning strikes. the bolt icon show where live lightning is happening from cloud to ground so this is going to really slow down your drive heading through sacramento and also up through the sierra. we are going to be tracking some spotty rain for the bay area. right now in ukiah, upper lake and clear lake, we have some light rain and then as we head down to the peninsula, we have rainfall rates around half moon bay at about .03 and so we have decent clip of rain and moving from south to north so spotty showers getting ready to approach. saratoga over the lexington hill and then seeing showers and rotating area of low pressure that could almost see it spinning as we get a look at motion of the rain that will be moving through. so we'll have some spotty showers but once again the bulk of the heavier rain will be over

parts of the sacramento valley and just east of i-5 as we go throughout the day. as we go into this afternoon, still some rain chances with some spotty showers and then we'll have one last shower moving through during the overnight hours before it all clears out for the weekend. rain totals really not that much. we're looking at up to a tenth of an inch in santa rosa. but elsewhere, just measuring about a trace amount. our high temperature today will be heading into the mid-60s for the inland areas and then upper 50s for the coast. overall a lot of clouds and here are the temperatures to see rain across the midwest and the south. looking at a lot of rain for florida as well. with some tropical activity. as we look as our forecast for the weekend. we are going to be heating up after today. it is going to be 75 and sunny tomorrow. 84 inland on sunday. and memorial day up to 90 degrees. and then it gradually comes down

bridge and the skyway is closed and you cannot get into eastbound 80 from skyway but you can enter over there at pomona, the last entrance before the carquinez bridge. and then at the venetian bridge, northbound 680 is clear if that is your route toward the north bay and that is fine out of the east bay. the maze is not the problem. other problem is 880 noubd also has close -- northbound is also closed and north around 98 or heggenberger we had another crash involving a truck and a -- and a truck fire there as well. a live look from our coliseum camera shows you just before that b.a.r.t. overcrossing where the b.a.r.t. train goes over to the airport and two lanes block up and a back-up for a half mile and so that is a slower drive as well. north 880 and eastbound 80 are the pro major problems this

morning. but the rest of the day is like this. very light, there is the golden gate bridge and here is that zipper truck just waiting to move the center divide and folks getting ready. and the friday before memorial day as we look at the san mateo bridge between 3:00 and 5:00 is the heaviest on the roadway so leave before 3:00 or hold out until after that rush. >> and be very patient out there as well. 4:51 now. the royals still realing after the president called off the meeting with kim jong-un. and now the trump administration is trying to figure that out. >> reporter: what's next for the u.s. and north korea? >> if and when kim jong-un chooses to engage in constructive dialogue and actions, i am waiting. >> reporter: the president said the door is still open to a nuclear summit. maybe even on june 12th as planned. >> i think president trump was right in walking away from a --

something that was not going be about denuclearization. >> reporter: kribts wonder if backing out of the negotiations was kim jong-un's plan all along. >> he got something from the president saying never mind and they are giggling. >> could this be a negotiating strategy? possibly. but we don't know what will happen next. >> reporter: could china bring the two back together. >> they feel a break in the relationship between themselves and north korea if this summit goes forward without chinese participation. >> reporter: unknown, did north korea really shut down its nuclear test sites? they refused to let inspectors -- verify. and also unknown whether this historic attempt at diplomacy failed or just hit a snag. this came straight from the top. president trump personally dictated that three-paragraph
