newsroom. i'll share with you, a pedestrian has been killed on the freeway northbound 808 just about where the tesla shop is. you see the background cars moving northbound, exiting at fremont boulevard. we'll show you on our fremont camera and give you a context. these folks are coming over on warren and on mission boulevard coming over from 680. you expect that to be smooth moving. it is not moving at all. joining on to northbound 880 you cannot move through this area, anywhere north of dixon landing road you want to avoid the nimitz and coming over from 680 is not a good option. warm springs boulevard will take you on surface streets as well as fremont boulevard and cushing as well, there is warren avenue. that gives you the context by the tesla plant. if you travel north on 880 and the tesla shot is on your right, that is the direction it is shut down. we expect a couple hours to be shut down. 068 is clear and so is the entire bay area. we'll follow the rest of the bay, but the deadly crash in

fremont is our big news and we're also going to send it toward damian trujillo out there. >> reporter: we're about a half a mile south of where the accident happened. right now, it seems like they're pushing cars off of cushing boulevard because the slow lane seems to be moving. the emergency vehicle, the chp officers were not able to get through because drivers were going onto the curb of the side of the road to see if they could maneuver their way around and that prevented them, the police officers and emergency personnel from getting through to the scene to be able to direct traffic, and so that backed things up a bit. now it seems like they're again, pushing people off of cushing boulevard so they can clear the highway somewhat, but the highway itself remains closed at the point just north of cushing boulevard. this is a fatial hit-and-run ofa pedestrian on 880. what the pedestrian was doing on the highway at 880 at this time

is not known. >> we sent out this push alert before 4:30 this morning. you may have woken up to it. download our nbc bay area app to get all the breaking news you need to know while you're sleeping. right now, we want to go to vianey arana in for kari to take a look at the forecast on this friday. 37, cold out there. >> 37, another morning of seeing 30s on the map. in fact, we're actually going to see these clear skies being taken over by a lot of cloud cover, because i am tracking big changes into the weekend. it's going to come in the form of rain, but the first sign of changing weather is always the cloud cover. we see the haze, and then the clouds come behind that. 10:00 a.m., 50 degrees. our temperatures topping out into the upper 50s for inland areas, and we're also expected to see a change in winds. we may be calm right now, but come tomorrow morning, we're talking about potential gusts of upwards of 35, maybe even 60 for the higher elevations. we'll send it back to you. >> thanks, vianey. in washington, it's a new

day with an historic new congress facing the same old problems. congressional leaders head back to the white house to negotiate a solution to that government shutdown. it's now been three weeks. "today in the bay's" tracie potts is live for us on capitol hill with the latest. tracie? >> hey, marcus, good morning, everyone. three weeks. now we have three and a half hours here in washington until the next attempt to try to end this shutdown. congressional leaders, democrats and republicans, head back to the white house today to see if they can work something out, but with the democrats and the president at odds over funding for the border wall, it's not clear where the negotiating begins. today's white house meeting is the latest attempt to break the gridlock over president trump's demand for taxpayers to put a downpayment on the border wall he said mexico would pay for. >> i have never had so much support as i have in the last

week over my stance for border security. >> reporter: he's going head to head with new house speaker nancy pelosi, who refuses to pay for the wall. she says it's immoral. >> this is not a wall between mexico and the united states that the president is creating here. it's a wall between reality and his constituents. >> the deal is passed. >> reporter: last night, the new democratic house of representatives approved a plan to reopen the government, but with no money for the wall, republicans in the senate who passed something similar last fall now refuse to consider it. >> i would call it political theater, not productive lawmaking. >> reporter: right now, that wall is the only thing standing between 800,000 federal employees and their pay. >> 800,000 people who have been put at risk, who are worrying about whether they get a paycheck next week. >> reporter: president trump tweets "this is strictly

politics by democrats, hoping to get an edge on the 2020 election." tracie potts, nbc news, washington. more details on the impact of the shutdown right here in the bay area. san francisco is fed up with trash at nearby landmarks. crews from public works department are now picking up that garbage at national parks. waste has been pile up in places like land's end for the past two weeks. that's when the national park service stopped clearing them and cleaning up that area because of the government shutdown. although the city is now stepping in to help, public works spokeswoman wants to remind visitors to pick up after yourselves. happening today, relatives are planning to gather for a man shot and killed by hayward police officers. in mid-november, police killed augustin gonzalez after a neighbor called 911. officers thought he was armed with a knife but later determined it was a razor blade. they also said he did not follow their orders and challenged them to kill him.

increase in cloud cover earlier than the rest of the bay area, also along the coast. microclimate highs today top out into the 50s but it's going to be your last dry day before we see that rain move in late tonight into the north bay, and then early tomorrow throughout the entire bay area. it will be a wet commute tomorrow morning. let's get a check on the latest on that crash. mike? >> vianey, we have our shot from our photographer ethan, on the scene, showing the traffic approaching chp flares, this closure is northbound 880, all the lanes closed. you see folks lined up to get to the fremont cushing off-ramp. i moved the camera back, that shot that i just showed you, all the way back to mission, these folks are trying to get off of mission, but it looks like the backup is starting to clear. i think they're stopping folks traveling from 680 continue to the nimitz freeway. the traffic is starting to condense, as well as north of dixon landing road. i do not encourage to you take the nimitz because you are closed northbound 880 at fremont

cushing boulevard. there is a crash in san jose, guys. back to you. >> thanks. coming up on "today in the bay," all of us our data was probably stolen in 2018. the digital resolution that experts say we all need to take to keep our information protected this year. it was another lousy day on the markets, just crushed. is this the new normal? plus, ahead at 5:25, the manhunt under way right now in texas, for a suspected gunman, wanted in connection to the deadly shooting of a little girl, and the sketch police want everyone to see. take a look. we'll be right back.

when a country puts tariffs on imports, that country's citizens pay the tariffs. let me be perfectly clear. we pay the tariff on chinese goods. this is not the first time the president has gotten this wrong. the billions in the treasury came from americans. general motors just announced it will soon reduce the tax credit for customers who are buying an electric car. they joined tesla, which made that announcement before christmas. they have to. the law caps the credit at 200,000 cars, so they're really victims of their own success. car companies and others are calling for washington to extend that credit to encourage more electric car sales. this sunday on my tv show "press here" i'll talk with industry experts about the law. >> there isn't a u.s. manufacturer right now, ford, gm, obviously tesla, that isn't supportive of this. >> so that's pascal romano. marcus and kira, reporter emmy hall is the latest to join our

team of reporters. she is an automotive reporter bringing expertise about cars to the table so i'm excited to have her but she's also a race car driver, which makes her way cooler than anyone else on my show, including myself. here she is, racing through morocco, over the deserts in a rally she just won, a rally here in america as well. so super cool. tune in sunday morning. we'll talk about tax powelicy b also going to talk about race cars. >> she might be cooler than you, sorry. >> i am certain she's cooler than me. >> you have the best show, though. i always watch on sunday mornings. thanks, scott. >> thanks, scott. you know what? there's a high chance your personal data was stolen last year, especially considering what experts estimate billions of consumers were hit by breaches and cyber attacks. cyber experts have advice to protect yourself. update software on your phones and computers. second, change your passwords often.

if you have a hard time remembering passwords get a password manager. third, avoid oversharing your life online. >> that's tough these days. >> use password two, sometimes three. >> abcdefg. >> 1234. don't do that! he shared it with the world. >> i guess don't hit "remind me tomorrow" on the updates every day. >> eventually you'll get locked out. >> here's one thing, get your umbrellas out and rainboots. it's a wet weekend ahead and the rain will carry over into the start of the work week, which will mean a monday morning commute that's messy. san francisco we have a pretty picture there. temperature, cold but we're running a few degrees warmer at this hour in some spots, including oakland and hayward and into the afternoon, we're certainly going to get an increase in cloud cover, that will be our first sign 41

degrees by 9:00 a.m. in through concord. everywhere else we're topping out into the 50s so once again, the temperatures will be comfortable but cool, as we head in towards the afternoon. let's talk about the big changes ahead. we have satellite radar right now. you can see we have some clouds especially in through the north bay, starting to roll on in. we have an active pacific and our storm ranger will be busy this weekend, as we get ready to track that incoming rain. our mobile doppler radar will do a fantastic job of giving us the timing and the highest resolution data. let's take you to the futurecast. this rain is expected to move in overnight for the north bay, so the north bay has a good chance of seeing some showers, and then early morning saturday, that big cold front, the main storm out of this will start sweeping on through and that's when we'll see heavier pockets of rain, including major snowfall for the sierra. this is going to be our first storm of the season. behind this cold front, we're tracking gusty conditions, a chance of seeing thunderstorms and by monday 11:p.m., monday morning we'll get an additional system that will track on

through. right now, the higher elevations expected to see the most of this with the coastal mountains between two to three inches. we have an update on how the roads are doing. mike, how is the situation out there? overall traffic flow is nicely, but this shot shows you what's going on for the nimitz, our photographer ethan is trying to get a better position, showing you the flares and the right side of the screen is nimitz northbound,'s he's standg on the nimitz freeway where you shouldn't, but he can. someone for some reason was on the freeway and a hit-and-run happened. that person was killed and we don't know anything else about that as far as the details go. the hit-and-run is being investigated, and these folks with the headlights are getting

off of northbound 808 at fremont cushing. we'll show you our traffic cam are to give you context approaching northbound 880 coming up. the dark patch here would normally be lit up by a stream of headlights coming off of mission boulevard and joining on with the freeway. in the last few minutes that's completely blankd o lly blanked. they stopped the traffic passing warm springs boulevard and headed onto the freeway. the north shot off the left side is where tesla is and the cars are forced off the freeway once again. warm springs boulevard, fremont boulevard, you can get over there on either side of the freeway but do not use that portion of the nimitz. the rest of the bay looks really good, until you get to san jose, and north 87, just by the airport, approaching the merge with 101 and trimble, there is a crash, a car has overturned on the freeway, and we have two of your four lanes blocked and that is the jam. skyport you get on to city streets if that's where you're exiting, good. if not, you'll jog around to 101. back to you. thank you, mike.

the last half hour we've seen traffic stop coming over from mission and i believe they're forcing traffic on to warm springs boulevard, which is one of your alternates. there is warren avenue on the other side. over the freeway, take fremont boulevard koord kato, cushing and the like. note the surface streets there. you get to auto mall parkway you can cut back over toward 808 itself if you need to. we have information on the scene, it sounds like a gruesome one. damian trujillo is out there. you confirmed it was a hit-and-run crash. >> reporter: we're here with sergeant ted montez of the chp hayward division. this was a hit-and-run, we think we have one of the drivers who may have struck the victim. >> there is a possible involved driver at a location away from here, he's standing by for us. we're sending units over to inspect his vehicle and to speak with him as well. the initial reports were, though, that he was a secondary vehicle that had struck the pedestrian that we have down

here. we're still unaware of the initial driver that struck this pedestrian. >> reporter: you have no idea what the victim was doing in the middle of the highway? >> none whatsoever. we had brief reports there was a pedestrian down in the roadway on the freeway here. >> reporter: last question, you're pushing cars off of cushing and back on to 880. >> we are. we're trying to alleviate traffic. we've been told the backlog is two miles at this point to the area of dixon landing. we're working with caltrans obviously, you can see the coroner just arrived on scene. we're in the final stages of cleaning up, documenting the scene and collecting physical evidence, and then we'll open the lanes back up. >> reporter: within the next hour? >> we're thinking the next hour, yes. >> reporter: thank you, sergeant, ted montez of the chp. we'll keep you updated throughout the morning. >> thank you for the update. we sent out this push alert before 4:30 this morning. you may have heard it while you were sleeping. download our nbc bay area app to get all the breaking news you need to know overnight. right now, we want to go to

vianey arana with a look at our weather for today on this friday. vianey, the temperatures tell it all, cold. >> yes, it's pretty cold out there. in fact, we're once again waking up to the 30s on the map. but we're a few degrees warmer at this hour yesterday in some parts of the bay area thanks to an increase in high clouds as we track that changing weather. 43 degrees in oakland right now. 42 in hayward, down through san jose 37. some of our chillier spots continue to be in the north bay as we head out the door, 31 degrees for santa rosa. now your temperature trend into the afternoon the most obvious thing you will notice will be how it's way cloudier today than what we've seen so far. our temperatures not a huge change there, we'll be topping out in those 50s and we will remain dry throughout the majority of the day, as we head in through the evening hours. the north bay will be the first one to start seeing some showers, with that incoming rain expected to really impact your weekend. i'll take you through that time line in a bit. we continue to follow a developing story in the east bay where police are looking for

this woman who attacked a jogger on a popular trail. "today in the bay's" pete suratos joins us live from oakland, where it all took place, and pete, the victim claims she was bitten by the other woman. >> reporter: yes, good morning to you, kira. quite a claim by this victim, saying the attacker bit her on the forearm. in fact, we want to show you the picture, this is the picture they showed police of that bite on her forearm, a pretty nasty bite when you look at it there. the information we're getting from the east bay regional parks police which is handling this investigation, is that the attack happened roughly around 10:30 a.m. they say the jogger was wrapping up a run here in oakland just off of skyline boulevard on the goldenrod trail near the riding stables, she notices a woman with two dogs. she claims one of the dogs tried to bite her, when she pepper sprayed the dog. it stopped the dog but apparently didn't stop the dog owner. >> in addition to the bite there was a certain amount of punching and kicking when the dog owner

had dragged this girl -- stopped her on the track, on the trail. >> reporter: here say description of that attacker, an 18 to 25-year-old female, five to six feet, medium build, blond and auburn colored hair and she had two dogs, a rottweiler mix and a yellow tan dog. this attacker could face aggravated assault charges. if you have any information, contact police. we're live here in oakland, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> thanks, pete. 5:36 right now. happening today, a viewing for the stanislas county police officer shot and killed in the line of duty. several funeral services will be held tomorrow for newman police corporal ronil singh. he was shot and killed nine days ago during a traffic stop. suspect is now in custody, and authorities arrested gustavo arriaga three days after that shooting in central california.

investigators believe he is here illegally, and was trying to get back to his native mexico. a skateboarder accused of beating a san francisco security guard is expected in court later this morning. we have exclusive video of the november attack in the city's financial district. security guard dan janson was putting barricades in place to block the skateboarders. as janson works, you can see the group attacks him, knocking the 57-year-old to the ground. janson's family says a blow to the head with a skateboard has changed the avid fisherman's life forever. he needed emergency brain surgery and is now in a rehab facility where he's learning how to talk and walk. >> he can't walk yet. he can feed himself, and he started to brush his own teeth, so that was a huge, huge accomplishment. >> the san francisco district attorney's office says 24-year-old jesse gentlemen ree

r vieira is in custody with assault with a deadly weapon. he says he has proof to show he was not the aggressor. more snow is in the forecast for the sierra this weekend and maybe it will raise water levels in california. according to the first snowpack survey of 2019, levels are below average. the department of water resources is blaming global warming. however, it did say the snowpack is higher than last year at this same time. the increased amount is crucial, because that snow supplies about 30% of the water here in california. all right, i believe we'll send it over to mike now, with a check of the traffic. >> yes, kira, let's look at what we have. we have a fluid situation out there, so we had a couple of live cameras on the scene, they're moving around right now, but we still have our traffic camera. i just got off the phone with damian, i apologize that's why i was not able to talk that instant you came over to me. there's tesla, this is northbound 880, no traffic

flowing whatsoever. what happened is chp has just closed off the fremont cushing off-ramp, where folks were able to get out of the backup. no one is getting off the freeway northbound 880 at tesla. the coroner is on scene and they are gathering whatever evidence there may be off of the exit area as well. they had to sweep the entire freeway and now the off-ramp. once they get the evidence and complete the investigation and once the coroner gives the okay with the details that he or she needs, then they can start to clear the debris from the area, and then they can begin to reopen the nimitz. now, as damian just learned from the chp on the scene, they hope that can be over the next hour but we'll say the worst case we heard was 7:30, they were going to reopen. we're hoping for the next hour. meanwhile in san jose another crash north 87 jams things up past the airport approaching that 101 merge. i'll give you details coming up. the rest of the bay completely clear. >> i'm impressed, how well you did with running and talking at

the same time. you're not even out of breath right now. good job. we'll send it over to vianey who is in for kari. you say the weekend weather say wet one. >> get the umbrellas ready. headed up to lake ta show we have big changes that will impact the sierra. your saturday forecast, coast, bay and inland. saturday's going to be the arrival of our first system. it's going to come in the form of a cold front, that's going to kick up the winds so it's going to be windy. i wouldn't be surprised if they started issuingadvisories as early as tonight. as far as temperatures go, 54, 55, 57 for inland areas. you could see the rain as we head in toward sunday. we'll get the rain that carries over but sunday is on and off again. it will start to get heavy sunday evening but during the day we might get periods of pockets of rain here and there, but overall into monday as well. let's talk about squaw creek lake tahoe.

court-martial for charges in the death of a young isis fighter is due in court today. chief ed guard garriaga will appear before a judge in san diego for arraignment. the general is also charged with aggravated assault for shooting iraqi civilians. his lawyer is seeking to provide evidence that may lead to his acquittal. he faces life in prison if convicted. the president once again will meet with democrats today, trying to find a solution to end the government shutdown. >> scott mcgrew, there might be a tiny sign of progress. >> tiny side or maybe we're reading something into this, i don't know. it's hard to tell. president trump showed up unexpectedly in the white house briefing room, surrounded by members of a border patrol union, to renew his calls for border funding, but his language changed. take a listen. >> and also say a few words about the wall, about you can o call it a barrier, whatever you want but essentially we need

protection in our country. we're going to make it good. the people of our country want it. >> essentially we need protection. we're on day 14 of the government shutdown, maybe the president was signaling a compromise. thursday, the democrats passed a bill that would fund the government, get it reopened, but didn't include money for the wall, that's not going to fix the problem. the senate will never go for it but it will further pressure the president, who you remember said he would own the shutdown. >> you know what i'll say, yes, if we don't get what we want, one way or the other, whether it's through you, through a military, through anything you want to call, i will shut down the government. [ applause ] >> that's nancy pelosi taking the gavel and repeating history. she's the first and only woman to be speaker of the house. she was, of course, the first woman speaker of the house back when president george w. bush was president. speaker pelosi then swore in the 160th congress, the most diverse congress we've ever seen.

the youngest woman to serve, the first muslim women to serve, texas sent its first two latina members to congress. overall, record number of women elected to congress. short time ago, we got the latest job numbers showing the american economy added 312,000 jobs in december. you heard it right, 312,000. i had to check my records. i'm pretty sure that's the biggest number i've ever seen. we'll talk more about that, as we talk about business, coming up in about 30 minutes. in the meantime, i'm tweet being tweet being it. i'm @scottmcgrew on twitter. an early endorsement for president for dianne feinstein, she's endorsing joe biden as the democratic nominee for 2020. he has the experience and the drive and may have the best chance to defeat president trump. it's still very early in the race for president in 2020 and there's a lot to play out.

it may be a bit of a blow for california's junior senator kamala harris not receiving feinstein's endorsement. harris has not announced whether she intends to run, north has biden either. california's state capitol is the most popular spot to move, according to 2018 u-haul data. the company spokesperson says that u-haul trucks made more one-way trips to sacramento than any other city in america. sacramento is also a top destination for people in the bay area, according to real estate company red fin, people getting priced out of the bay area are finding refuge there in sacramento. >> the problem now is that they need more u-haul parking in sacramento, with the one-way trips. >> maybe i could get a job driving them back. >> i was just thinking that, you and me, marcus. >> help us out with that expensive rent in the bay area. >> eminent moving. >> because none of us have a truck, so we don't have a friend with a truck. we have to help each other out.

if you're moving this weekend, sorry, cover your boxes up, your cardboard boxes, because it's going to be a wet one. right now, your temperature trend starting out in the 30s once again and climbing into the 50s, topping out only into the upper 50s again, and an increase in cloud cover, the reason for that, here it is, satellite radar, you could see the increase in cloud cover, high clouds moving in already over portions of the north bay. we'll start to see those better when the sun comes up and this will signify or signal the arrival of the very first storm of the year, which is why we've got our storm ranger mobile doppler radar up and ready to go as the system makes its way in. this is the important time line i want to take you through. let's get right to it. 6:00 a.m., we're going to get the heavy line of storms, this is that cold front passing through, where the winds will get gusty, pockets of moderate to heavy rainfall. that will carry over until about 2:00, but we have plenty of moisture off the coast, you can see it on the map, a way to bring plenty of sierra snow. it's a cold enough storm to

generate good amounts of snowfall for the sierra. saturday at 10:00 p.m., we get pockets of rain but it won't be as widespread into early sunday morning as well. i think your best chance will be to start moving things out early sunday morning, if you have to move. 1:00, look at the moisture just behind that. we get another round of showers moving in at about 5:00, and look how heavy the rain gets in the north bay. tomorrow dinnertime into early monday morning for your travel commute, we'll get to see another round of heavy rain. estimated rain totals for saturday and sunday, coastal mountains two to three inches. the north bay one to two inches and everywhere else just a little under an inch. your hour-by-hour wind gusts also a big factor as the cold front passes through. santa rosa, san francisco, the strongest gusts expected to be early saturday morning and i want to take you quickly through the estimated snowpack, statewide at about 67% and tracking an additional possibly 18 to 20 more inches of snow for the sierra. it's going to be a wet weekend,

mike. >> yikes. we'll watch for the restart for the commute next week as well. even though the commute around the bay very light, this is one of your two really bad spots. northbound 880 is completely shut down. we still see absolutely no movement for any lanes, no one is exiting northbound 880 at fremont cushing boulevard. there is the tesla parking lot in the background. we'd normally see folks streaming in. look at that, they started to let folks over on mission boulevard once again. for a while there, chp and local traffic control were trying to get folks to take warm springs boulevard. north 880 closed because of a deadly crash, reported as a hit-and-run, because there was no one left at the scene to do the investigation. chp told us, told damian trujillo on scene they're investigating at least one vehicle that was reported or that reported themselves, i believe, nearby. they're checking out detail there is. northbound 880 completely jammed. do not attempt to enter over there from 680. use auto mall parkway that's clear north of there.

south on 680, use calaveras. traveling north on 880, tesla is on your right, that's the stretch we're talking about. north 87 the second spot we're following that started to move better, although chp has not given the all clear. the sensors started moving. the crash north 87 around 101 looks like there's improvement for that scene. the rest of the bay no problem. look at the bay bridge toll plaza, as we expect on a holiday week friday, no problem. back to you guys. >> thanks, mike. happening now, thousands are stranded in southern thailand from a powerful tropical storm. rain, wind, and surging seas are really paralyzing some of the country's most popular tourist locations. the affected areas include phuket, kaosamui. 1962 was the last time the tropical storm made landfall in thailand. the storm is rolling through at the height of the tourist season. still ahead and all new at this hour, you finally could meet the one. this weekend in particular,

agency's website, there is a notice telling companies they can submit applications but they won't be reviewed until the shutdown is over. one midwestern brewer says his company is in waiting mode. >> the beers have been named. we figured out exactly what we're serving. we submitted at profthe approva. we're waiting to get kicked back with the approval state and that hasn't happened yet with the shutdown. >> really, what does this mean for you? beer lovers may have to wait longer for summer beers that brewers all over the country have planned. right now at 6:00, shutdown showdown, both sides digging in overnight, fighting over funding for a border wall. look at the big development we expect today. huge news for the economy, a whopper of a jobs report released just minutes ago, as wall street hopes to avoid another dismal day. and wet weekend, as people flock to the south bay for free concerts and family fun ahead of the college football title game, a look at when that rain is
