>> then the burden will be on the republicans, because the democrats will have acted. >> reporter: but the senate still controlled by republicans is unlikely to send president trump something he won't sign. >> the only thing ma matters is what president trump and leader schumer can agree to. >> reporter: that's chuck schumer, the senate's top democrat. "let's make a deal" the president tweets to incoming house speaker nancy pelosi. at this point, it's not clear what that deal might be. we're also watching an op-ed from the new senator from utah, republican mitt romney. he's talking about the president's character, saying that the president has not risen to the level of the office in which he holds, but romney and a lot of other lawmakers will be sworn in here tomorrow, and their number one job is going to be to end the shutdown. scott? >> tracie potts, thank you much. >> we'll see what happens next.

thanks, tracie. it is 6:06 right now. we have 20s and 30s on the map today. if you were hoping for a bigger warmup into the afternoon, we're not going to really get it. our daytime highs will be rather cool, topping out in the 50s. san jose 57 degrees for your daytime highs. morgan hill 58, milling and oa topping out at 54 degrees. some of our warmer spots but not really warm, concord at 58 degrees. along the peninsula, we're talking mid to upper 50s, in through san mateo 56, half moon bay 58 degrees. if you're headed into san francisco, it's still going to be cool, so even though it's clear, we've got a lot of sunshine. we're not going to warm up by much. ukiah 59. santa rosa 59 and enjoy these dry days, because once we get this dry system that's been keeping us kind of cold, but at least clear, move out, we're going to have another system that will move in, and that

system will bring with it some pretty good rainfall totals. forecasters are always excited to track the rain. >> i know you are. we're excited to tell you the early burst of traffic showing the backup at the bay bridge kind of held there. it's still at the bay bridge, as the metering lights are still on. we don't have any major problems for the rest of the bay. dumbarton, san mateo bridges show the build for the volume, slowing on the approach to those two westbound directions for the bridges and west 24, we have an incident as you're approaching the caldecott tunnel. looks like the slowing might be affected by a disabled vehicle. we'll track that. the biggest slowing for the area, contra costa county toward the bay bridge is at the bay bridge toll plaza itself. approaching from the south, northbound 808 past high street with the tail lights, a smooth drive. southbound looks like there's more volume but really about the same, just the glow from the headlights from that angle. an earlier backup slowing at the richmond to san rafael bridge, now things have smoothed out.

investors are reacting to disappointing economic data out of china, showing growth of the country's manufacturing sector slowed for the first time in a year and a half, adding to concerns about the health of the overall global economy. . back here in the u.s., markets are coming off their worst year since the financial crisis in 2008, despite a positive session on monday for the year. the dow dropping more than 5.5%, while the nasdaq lost 6%. the partial u.s. government shutdown is now in day 12, with more agencies set to close their doors that now includes the fcc. it will wind down nearly all of its operations if there's no resolution by tomorrow, and that could impact businesses and consumers. there will be a pause in the testing and approval of new electronic devices, complaint lines won't be answered, consumer protection and local competition enforcement will cease and licensing services for broadcasters and wireless companies will end as long as the shutdown lasts. some good news here, it may be cheaper to fill up your car in 2019. for the first time in three

years, prices at the pump are expected to decrease from the previous year. gasbuddy.com says gas will average $2.70 a gallon, three cents less than 2018 but 2019 will the second most expensive year to fill up since 2015. i know, a lot of numbers. here is more good news. you'll enjoy the lowest price of the year in january, with gas expected to average $2.35 a gallon. i know it's a little bit more expensive out there in california. and get this -- the typical family will spend $1,991 on gas this year, that's down 25 bucks from last year. so those are your cnbc business headlines. scott and laura, i tried to mix in a little good news. >> i appreciate that. i always look for the silver lining. thanks a got, frank. you could stay home and telecommute from vermont. the state will pay $10,000 to work from home. >> that's the deal the state is offering as part of the new law. anyone who moves to vermont employed by an out-of-state

company can receive ten grand from working remotely at home from a government office. the governor says basically vermont has two-thirds the population of san francisco and no real growth. if you're interested, you may want to act fast. they've set aside about half a million dollars and the deal is first come, first serve. >> isn't ben amben & jerry's in vermont in i moved there, i'd experience some growth. >> you were saying it is colder here. >> it is cold. i'm shameless. i had ice cream last night, i watched "aquaman" and it was so cold but i was still chilling with my ice cream. >> equal in temperatures. >> it does. it warmed me up inside in my heart. >> aquaman for the ice cream? >> oh! sutro tower, golden gate bridge right now clear conditions. notice how we've got a steady camera this morning. no windy conditions yet. we're still going to see some

storms over the bay area but we have a developing coastal system and that's going to bring us our first chance of seeing some rain for this new year. let's take you through that futurecast and when the time line is going to be and this is going to impact your weekend weather. friday night, the cloud cover sets in, and then really early saturday morning, in fact, overnight friday into saturday morning, we begin to see some rain move in, in fact, it will become widespread, and look at all day saturday, i took the time line through 11:00, and we're tracking some pretty good rainfall also, sierra snow, this is going to kick up some gusty conditions, headed into sunday as well. we'll get some heavier pockets of rain as the cold front pushes through. as far as estimated rain totals, this is taking it through monday. we have another system on monday so that's going to be more rainfall totals. the higher elevations getting a good downpour, just over two inches for some parts of the north bay, and into the santa cruz mountains as well. the rest of the bay area, even down through san jose nearly an inch of rainfall. so this is going to be a pretty

good accumulation to start us out for the new year, which we always need some rain but you have to be careful out on the roads, because i am guilty of being a california girl. i'm trying to get better at the driving in the rain thing. i hope ervelverybody else is, t. >> vianey, you're doing great. if law enforcement hasn't talked to you about it, you're doing great. green on the roadways. on my maps it looks like green sensors mean you're at the speed limits. little build dumbarton bridge, san mateo bridge holding steady on the approach, you have to slow paying the tolls for cash. it's fine at the bay bridge toll plaza where the metering lights are on. we have san francisco southbound 101 moving smoothly. cesar chavez eastbound off of southbound 101, that tractor trailer is still in lanes demean update from chp. heavyduty rig should have arrived to remove that trailer but the eastbound direction is still tough. westbound and loop around if you can, that's your best avenue right now. over in the east bay, contra

costa county moves smoothly, but i call out west 24 at camino pablo, slowing approaching a disabled vehicle blocking your slow lane, can you see the ant-like cars, those are cars driving through the area. the st. stevens overpass for a reference there. reference as far as speeds and times for waze there as well. even though it's green for the freeway, 680 through the area, they're pointing out here durham auto mall parkway off-ramp is slowing. you have to because it's the off-ramp loop. that slowed over the last five minutes, so it popped up on our sensors. nbc bay area wazers is the team i want to you join. it will be with you throughout the day wherever you're going. back to you. >> thanks so much, mike. here is a big story we're working on for 6:30, a fire ripped through an rv and boat storage facility. we'll tell you where it happened and how much damage is left behind. an unusual battle over a steering wheel and $1,000. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura, "nbc bay area responds"

pregnancies. in a lawsuit, she claims they refused to provide lactation space or adjust her work assignments. in a statement to "the chronicle" ac transit says in part, "we ask the public to withhold judgment as we work to uncover the circumstances giving rise to this issue." a spokesperson says the suit only represents one side of the case. the elderly and poor might have less access to bay area emergency rooms in the future that is according to a new uc berkeley report. it comes after word of a medical center closing. the closure could cause longer wait times at surrounding hospitals. berkeley city officials say they may need to figure out how to keep the hospital open or find another place within the city for it. new this morning, six passengers on a frontier airlines flight from cleveland to tampa fell ill during that flight. the passengers who were not traveling together are being held for observation. the passengers who were not sick were stuck on the plane for about an hour after landing. many people say it made for an uncomfortable flight.

time for your saturday forecast. it moves in late friday into saturday. we're tracking widespread rainfall, in fact, that cold front as it swoops through once again will kick up the windy conditions. so enjoy the break from the sort of windier conditions for now. rain across the board, 54 degrees. temperatures top out in the upper 50s but when that rain really kicks up into the overnight hours, it will carry over into sunday's forecast, so sunday will also be another rainy day for the coast, bay and inland temperatures topping out in the 50s. if you had planned to head out either to yosemite or the sierra, we are tracking snow in the forecast for saturday and sunday, and that, of course, always makes for dangerous road conditions. so make sure to check that as you head out the door. if you are debating between leaving friday and early saturday morning, friday is going to be the best day, because once you get into that storm, you don't want to get trapped out on the roads. i'll send it back to you. >> good advice, thanks.

jose when he was t-boned by an suv. this was around 2:00 this morning. you can see the damage to his squad car. he ended up hitting the sidewalk and crashing into a light pole, knocking that down. paramedics transported the officer to the hospital. he was conscious. he was breathing. he is hurt, but does not appear to have life-threatening injuries. the drivers and passengers in the suv are okay. it's not clear who is at fault in this collision. we do know that the officer did not have lights and sirens on as he entered this intersection. the investigation will be looking into who had the green light and the right of way. reporting live in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks for the latest, bob. it's 6:44 right now. the question now is where to put all of the rubble from the butte camp fire. fema and state officials are running into pushback over plans

newsom will become governor newsom with major changes in education and health. here are some steps he might take. more funding for full-day kindergarten classes, training for funding and child care programs as well and health care screenings for children with low income. the "l.a. times" says the programs could cost nearly $2 billion. one lucky person hit the mega millions jackpot last night, but it wasn't anyone from california. someone from long island, new york, matched all six numbers. this is new video of the story that sold that winning ticket. after taxes, a person who won starts the new year a quarter of a billion dollars richer. that's a nice way to start the year. there might be a smaller winner here in the bay area, so check your numbers. 57, 70, 34, 62, 44, and the mega ball number is 14. good luck to you. if you've ever wanted a party with steph curry, this one is your chance if you can score a ticket. >> took to social media to make
