here in the bay area, winning numbers 57, 70, 34, 62, 44, and the mega ball number is 14. nice, right, mike? >> very nice. i have to be honest, i show my card here, i'm happy that no one at the office won, if you had an office pool, because i wasn't in yesterday. it would be lonely coming in today. >> nobody was working yesterday. >> no one was working on the roadways, why traffic was so light. chp updated us, they are working with crews to clear eastbound cesar chavez southbound 101. the trailer is still in the roadway and may be there another 30 to 45 minutes. sean at our newsdesk got the information. you see slowing there. oakland toll plaza toward treasure island westbound 80 slows up the incline. the metering lights are officially on. the backup slowly forming at the toll plaza. live look shows you the san mateo bridge westbound with the tail lights, but the crash over at the toll plaza on this bridge has cleared from lanes. >> okay, that's a note.

>> you probably had the day off yesterday and looking forward to a weekend as well. apparently a rainy weekend. >> a rainy weekend, and it's going to be looking like a pretty good widespread shower. in fact, you're going to need your umbrella and your rain boots. rain is moving on in, as early as friday late, so late friday, so for the most part, friday you'll enjoy your afternoon and the cloud cover will increase and here comes the rain, so what's going to lap for coast, bay and inland temperatures we keep the temps in the 50s, but the rain will move in on saturday, really early on, and it will become widespread by the afternoon. we're talking about a pretty good cold front, which will bring pockets of moderate to heavy downpours at times, and then that rain will continue through sunday's forecast. showers are once again expected to continue with this initial system, and then as we head in towards monday, giving you a bigger look ahead, we have another system that's also going to bring the continued chance to see the rain through wednesday so it will be pretty wet couple

of days. if you have a party or something, get prepared to have a tent. also heavenly, the reason i nut graphic in red is because the driving conditions, the road conditions will be extremely dangerous, with that initial cold front that will sweep in on saturday, we're expecting snow up for tahoe, snow, a combination of showers into sunday, which means windy conditions, low 30s, as our daytime highs for heavenly, so if you planned to head out to lake tahoe this weekend, start planning in advance. hopefully you can leave friday before the rain hits. >> 5:41. coming up next on "today in the bay," the debate brewing -- following the camp fire. plus where you can make your dreams of hanging out with seth curry, the warriors star, come true.

it is 5:44 right now. temperatures in the low 30s through the north bay. we've got clear skies. beautiful shot of the golden gate bridge but because of the clear skies, we don't have any clouds to help keep us warm. daytime highs once again cool, and a lot of sunshine, but big changes are on the way, that may have you cleaning off those rain boots into the weekend. i'll have details in a bit. your bridge looks great, mine looks great but the backup, folks coming back to work, what effect that has on the time to get to the east bay and san francisco and more.

thanks so much. it's 5:44. recovery work is under way in butte county following the deadly camp fire. the question is where to put all of the rubble. fema and state officials are running into pushback over plans to open a large temporary scrap yard to sort and process truckloads of rubble from burned out paradise. first it was chico, where many pushed the government to abandon a 100-acre site next to a residential neighborhood. oroville are speaking in opposition to the second choice, a former superfund site near highway 70 on the south side of town. the state capitol, governor jerry brown's last week on the job and gavin newsom will take the oath of office on monday. not clear what brown will do in the future but the "l.a. times" reports he mentioned setting his sights on trying to stop a 2020 ballot initiative that would undo some of his efforts to overhaul state prisons by providing new parole opportunities for some convicted of lower-level felonies.

last month, he filed a lawsuit challenging the initiative's placed on the future ballot, insisting the measure was improperly drafted. >> gavin newsom is preparing for major changes in education and health. here are some steps he might take, according to the "l.a. times." more funding for full-day kindergarten classes, training and funding for child care programs as well and health care screenings for children -- tickets are on a first come, first serve basis.

curry says it's the celebrations of the warriors' final season in oakland. >> the warriors may be getting more boogie than first thought. the "new york times" is reporting the all-star center would reconsider signing with the warriors next season, despite their limited resources. cousins signed a team-friendly one-year deal last offseason in hopes of rebuilding his value, after a devastating achilles injury. >> 5:47 right now. a look at weather and traffic together, today seems like a lot of people are headed back to work, maybe slightly, grazzulely easing back into 2019. >> the first time i saw the metering lights on in several days at the bay bridge. and this isn't the first time we've seen 30s. it's been so cold. we've kept this dry air mass. the reason you're not seeing a lot of frost, people are like it wasn't very frosty. it's a dry air mass, which is why there's a lack of frost on your windshield as you wake up in the morning.

it's equally cold, right now in san jose, 34 degrees. at least the wind speeds aren't gusting right now, because that windchill factor would have made it more like upper 20s. the clear skies will remain throughout the day, but look at the temperature drop, within the past 24 hours as you wake up this morning, santa rosa' really feeling that biting cold, and napa and fairfield. down 17 degrees since where we were at this hour yesterday. right now current temps santa rosa 30 degrees, napa 30. concord and livermore also in the 30s. we're seeing 30s across half moon bay, 41 along the bay there. this prompted freeze warnings in southern salinas valley, monterey county and this will remain in effect through 9:00 a.m. today, so the freeze warning is expected to affect a lot of your plants and pipes and your pets, bring them inside. satellite radar, we have calm conditions but we've got some systems developing off in the

coast but overall today's forecast is expected to be very calm and clear. temperatures will top out into the upper 50s. oakland 54 degrees, san jose 57. yesterday was still a little breezy. we could expect to see light breezes again but not as windy as what we've seen so far. futurecast, that first system is on tap right now to make its move in late friday into early saturday morning. look at how widespread the models are showing this out so far. it will be widespread, lasting all day saturday and yes, that is lake tahoe, that sierra snow expected with this system, and look at sunday, we get some pretty good pockets as that cold front moves through. as far as estimated rain totals, three-day rain totals show higher elevations getting the most out of the system but a little under an inch for most of the bay area, but that's their monday and another storm system set to make its way monday and that will head to our rainfall totals. mike, how are the roads, aside from the metering lights at the bay bridge toll plaza? >> the metering lights haven't been on for a while at the bay

bridge, but they are this morning and we have a smooth flow for the rest of the commute right now. the metering lights indicate there are folks that are driving in to work today. of course, getting caught up as well in the altamont pass, west 580 slow to north flynn. the commute is still great and it's a wednesday. we're not starting off on a traditional monday pattern. contra costa shows a smooth drive as well. we're focusing on the bay bridge toll plaza, the live look shows you this is the worst of the east bay, and the worst of the bay right now for the backup, all lanes here, the inmetering lights turned on 5:27, a few minutes later than they typically. our partners at waze time things out for you. east shore freeway richmond to san francisco use the san rafael bridge. here is the only red we show, everything else is green, that is the bay bridge toll plaza. the time across the bay bridge adds about 20 to 25 minutes,
