declared a national emergency to build a border wall with mexico, lawmakers are debating whether there's really an emergency. >> he couldn't get the mexicans to build the wall, he couldn't get congress to vote the money in. >> he himself said it, he did not need to announce or declare a crisis. >> this is an emergency. i mean, what are we on now the fifth caravan? >> reporter: critics call it a power grab that upsets checks and balances in government. >> we shouldn't have an executive, i don't care if it's republican or democrat, that tries to get around congress. >> this will be another expansion of that power. that's why you see a lot of us concerned about this. >> reporter: he's a republican, but so is lindsey graham and he's supporting the president. >> congress is locked down and will not give him what we've given past presidents, so unfortunately he's got to do it on his own. >> reporter: the white house won't say if president trump will veto a resolution against his emergency declaration. >> he's going to protect his national emergency declaration guaranteed. >> reporter: the next stop could be the u.s. supreme court. >> he's pretty much daring the

the activity except for the sensors have again consolidated right here toward appian way. i'm saying the crash, traffic alert exists from westbound 80 at pinole valley road because the latest i heard, folks were forced off of the freeway at appian way toward san pablo -- sorry, pinole valley road, back on to appian way gets you around the crash, as many as eight vehicles might have been involved at one point. we're trying to get updates from chp on scene but they're doing a lot of work over there. we'll call that a traffic alert and let folks know that coming off the carquinez bridge. if you're farther south from richmond toward the bay bridge, you are doing just fine. this affects folks coming through hercules and pinole for westbound 80. traffic flow around the rest of the bay is an easy, clear drive. there is the view of the san mateo bridge. kari talked about the possibility for freezing fog because of temperatures without there so this will be a factor. be careful in the areas where you see the mist on the roadway. back to you. >> slow it on down. thanks, mike. coming up here, in case you didn't know, it's presidents day, which means holiday sales.

members of parliament calling for more regular flation of ttio park company after a year-long looking into fake news. they weren't shy about their opinion of facebook. the government said "we believe that in its evidence to the committee, facebook has often deliberately sought to frustrate our work, by giving incomplete, disingenuous and at times misleading answers to our questions." walmart worth watching because retailers have been reporting slumping sales as amazon gets bigger and bigger. walmart, the largest traditional retailer in the united states, tariffs on chinese goods are also going to be an issue. speaking of china, video of the u.s. trade negotiator meeting with the chinese president. talks will continue this week in washington. president trump tweeted from mar-a-lago, billions of dollars are being paid to the united states by china in the form of trade tariffs. now we have talked about this

before. the chinese do not pay the tariffs on their goods that come into the united states. the money flowing into the treasury is our money. president trump gets this backwards often, and it's hard to tell if it's deliberately not telling the truth or he really doesn't understand. another good example of this is the f-35 stealth fighter. the president often says it's invisible. it's not, of course, but it is difficult to spot on radar. it's not invisible. >> it's stealth. you cannot see it. is that correct? >> that's correct. >> it better be correct, right? you can't see it. literally, you can't see it. she makes a plane you can't see. it's stealth. f-35. can't see it. where is lockheed? it's stealth. you can't see it. >> i show you those because i just want to illustrate the frustration and the problem of trying to figure out if the president genuinely doesn't understand whether it's taxes or

tariffs or stealth fighter planes or he's just being, you know, he's exaggerating, and the middle of that, he says no literally, you can't see it. i think he thinks that plane is invisible, like invisible. and i think he really does believe that tariffs are paid by chinese and not the americans. i don't know. >> all right. >> all right, thank you very much. it is presidents day and if you have the day off, not too late to take advantage of the first major sale holiday of the year some of the best discounts can be found on winter apparel, home goods and tech. for those looking to gr ing tin acompliance appliances they will see discounts of 49%, mattresses up to 60% at some stores. if you're looking for your next big purchase which could be a car, here is the most dependable one that you might want to consider. consulting firm j.d. power is out with its annual rankings. the report finds that lexus is the most dependable brand for

bay area. very nice. >> it's important to remember, because it is sad, it's a dark part, but it's an important part of our history so we commemorate. >> sadly, there are a lot of dark parts of our history. but come monday morning i'm like what did you do on the weekend? i'm like hey, mike, what event did you do? very generous with your time. >> we all do that, so thank you. >> well, sometimes. >> but that weather, you've been tracking it all morning long. >> we've had busy weather and finally i'm like okay, i can relax a little bit. >> no, we have an event to go to. >> i know, we've got some chilly weather and that's what we're dealing with, now that all of that rain moved out. you may be wondering how much rain did we have, and we have the fog left behind over dublin, that's a live look at the camera. let's look at some of these rainfall totals, adding up all last week, and it really is unreal to see that in one week, we got over almost 14.5 inches of rain in venado in the north

bay. ben lomond 9.5 inch, mt. tam almost 9 inches there and richmond close to 6 inches of rain, novato also over 5 inches and we look at san jose, where we had a little over 2 inches of rain there, san martin had over 2.5 inches of rain, 2.75 in livermore, sunnyvale over 3 inches and oakland 3.5 inches of rain, and san francisco over 4 inches of rain, and then as the sun rises, this morning you'll be able to see the snow on mt. hamilton, we had five inches of new snow on mt. hamilton, looking at the observatory. today it's going to be still very cool especially for this time of year with highs only in the mid-50s. we have a couple of days to dry out and then this storm system will be moving in. it will be a weak storm, and arriving on wednesday with some lighter showers. we're mostly looking at about a quarter inch of rain and see those clouds during the morning, rain during the afternoon to

evening hours, and then our seven-day forecast shows it stays cool all throughout the week, even though we will get some more sunshine. by saturday up to 60 degrees and a chance of rain once again on sunday. san francisco also staying in the mid-50s with some breezy winds all throughout today. we'll talk more about this, and mike, you have more in the traffic alert. >> just got an update which folks will like. we got all three -- three lanes open, one lane is closed westbound 80, still jammed up. it will recover, take a few minutes from highway 4 past pinole valley road to appian way, where that crash which may have involved as many as eight vehicles at one point are cleared to the side and one lane blocked toward appian way. over 20 minutes registering from that section toward the bay bridge toll plaza. if you are joining richmond, anywhere closer to the bay bridge at berkeley, emeryville, you're doing just fine. easy drive through the maze, and no problems for the north bay, contra costa county, coming into those areas. a smooth flow of traffic for the

rest of the bay. we are looking over here to the tri-valley because by our dublin camera there is a good amount of fog west 580. you can see the few headlights almost single file and moving at speeds, so do be careful, because of the conditions, lower visibility, but there's also an opportunity for folks to allow more spacing for the cars, because of lighter volume of traffic and there again by contrast, how clear it is across the san mateo bridge so watch for areas through the tri-valley and potential for freezing fog. back to you. >> thanks, mike. coming up next, tom cruise under fire from navy personnel. what they say about the actor's behavior performing at the sequel of "top gun." this is what i woke up to this morning, just shredded my business card. >> mommy, don't go. >> and give me breakfast, how about a treat? follow me on facebook, you can see so much more of my strangely personal life. >> grrr. a suburban chicago ware

5:23 right now. and happening today, a suburban chicago warehouse is expected to reopen for the first time since a mass shooting. five people were killed, and several others injured on friday. police say that gary martin started shooting in the middle of a meeting where he was being fired, after 15 years. state police found out martin was convicted of a felony five years ago and ordered that he

turn in his gun. it turns out that gun he was supposed to turn in is the same gun he used in the shooting. one of those victims was just 21 years old, an intern there, it was his first day on the job. police shot and killed martin after his rampage. treacherous driving conditions for a massive pile-up in michigan, about 45 cars and trucks, closed interstate 96 outside of grand rapids for hours. amazingly, authorities say no one suffered serious injuries. the whole thing started when a big rig driver lost control in snowy conditions. tom cruise is making waves off san diego on the "uss theodore roosevelt" while filming the sequel to "top gun." navy person lel took to facebook to say the actor was acting arrogantly towards crew members. he even went, they say, anyway he went so far as to tell them not to look at him or touch him but navy officials told our sister station in san diego those accusations were

unfounded, adding that the navy put out guidance, telling the sailors to put away phones and to not approach tom cruise. >> you can look at me but not in the eye. ? . one female african-american pilot is working to inspire the next generation to take flight. >> by the time she was 17, beth powell had obtained her private pilot license, followed by her commercial license at 18 years old. in 2014 powell obtained another goal, she joined american airlines as the first officer on the boeing 737. powell later started a scholarship in honor of her mother and mentor, assisting youth in aviation. >> finance can be very challenging and i want to be that person to help give back to help them know it's possible, not just giving them the funds and that's it, but mentoring them along the way, because we will have challenges and it's nice to have that support to say you can do this. >> you can. you can actually watch more about powell's aviation journey

san jose. if it's not raining, well then it's bitterly cold and that's what we are seeing. in evergreen our temperatures start out in the mid-30s. we should be up to 63 degrees, that's what's normal for this time in february, but you can see our temperature trend does not quite get there. we'll be up to 56 today, mid-50s all around the bay area. we'll talk about when the rain comes back, and what's ahead for the weekend as we start to make plans, but mike, you were saying that one spot is still backed up. >> that is, one spot but it's not the one behind me that the bay bridge toll plaza is clear. we expect a lighter volume of traffic for your commute because of holiday for businesses and schools around the bay area. this slow spot here folks, that's appian way. pinole as you come down past highway 4 westbound 80 jams up just past appian way, just past pinole valley road to appian way despite the fact they reopened threeout of your four lanes from the earlier crash. that presents a five-minute delay, maybe ten minutes allow

that extra time off the carquinez bridge but compared to a typical monday commute, it's a lot lighter. the rest of the bay shows smooth speed sensors. we'll head back to you for big issues in the north bay. that's right, the breaking news we've been talking about, while you were sleeping, violence in wine country. it happened about 11:00 last night on henry road midway between two vineyards, j&d and cios du val carneros. pete suratos is live for us this morning at the scene there and pete, just something a lot of people are shocked about, that happened there. >> reporter: good morning to you. we are hearing the armed suspect was apparently in a parked car when this officer-involved shooting took place on henry road in napa. behind me, chp is in place, no the much of an active scene behind us. the investigation is taking place on henry road, a pretty narrow road here in napa. now according to napa county sheriff's office, the shooting took place just before 11:00 p.m., where we're standing on the 1100 block of henry road.

a deputy was patrolling the area, when they contacted a male driver in a parked car, so this wasn't a traffic stop when this shooting took place. then they say six minutes later, the deputy reported shots fired. now it's unclear if any of those shots fired were fired at the deputy. we know the male suspect was obviously pronounced dead on the scene. there's no other suspects in all of this, and we note the sheriff's deputy has not been identified. let's take you back out here live to the scene here on henry road. you still have chp here on the scene, blocking off that road. we'll continue to stick around here guys and provide any new updates as they come in. we're live here in napa, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> that will be interesting to see what the investigation finds there, pete. thank you. 5:33 right now. after a round of storms like we just got, it seems like everything has a growth spurt, including potholes, no doubt there's some on your morning commute. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us from milpitas with all the reason why the potholes are popping up. after the rain, the roads are

saturated out there, but especially we want to know what we can do about it. >> reporter: hi there, laura. as you and our viewers know, we do a lot of driving around, finding news in the morning, and we have been seeing a lot of potholes and certainly a lot more potholes after the latest round of storms. this is one that we found on this stretch of road where we are in milpitas this morning. it is pretty big. the road is full of cracks that seem to be threat anyoening up next time they are saturated. if you've ever wondered why so many potholes open up after the rain, we got an explanation for you from cal trans. >> water seeps into the cracks in the road. cars and trucks drive over that and the hydraulic pressure of the water squeezed pushes against the road itself and there's a lot of cars and trucks driving over it, it squeezes, it squeezes and eventually the road breaks apart and you get a

pothole. >> reporter: the state is about to release $360 million of measure b funding after a two-year court battle. $9.5 million toward repaving in santa clara county alone. if you see a pothole you can report it to your local transportation department for your city or your county, and if your car was damaged when you hit a pothole on a cal trans maintained road you can file a claim with the state. i'll put that link up in my twitter feed and facebook page as well. road crews need dry weather in order for that concrete, that asphalt mix to stick and make a permanent repair so it's a good thing kari has no rain in the forecast for at least a few days. we're all very glad. in milpitas, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> we get a couple days to dry out. thanks a lot, kris. 5:35 right now. police are looking for a driver who sent a young girl flying into the air. i want to warn you before we show you this video, the girl is okay. okay, it happened on campoy

tv show a victim, but investigators stop short of calling him a suspect. what they want to do right now is they want to speak with smollett to get clarification on whether or not he paid two men to attack him last month. smollett, who was born in santa rosa, who is black and openly gay says that on january 29th, two masked men seen in that surveillance image right there, he says they punched him, said that this is maga country, a reference to president trump's make america great again phrase, says they used homophobic and racial slurs against him and put a rope around his neck. this weekend, chicago police say they have "new information that has, in fact shifted the trajectory of this investigation." smollett's attorney is furious, saying that "he has now been further victimized by claims attributed to these alleged perpetrators that jussi played a role in his own attack. nothing is further from the truth and anyone claiming

otherwise is lying." here's what smollett said to abc news last week. >> you do such a disservice when you lie about things like this. >> reporter: the two men accused are brothers and smollett does follow their shared instagram accounts. smollett's attorney says that one was jussi's personal trainer and one of them not clear who was an extra on the "empire" tv show. a police source tells nbc news investigateors have no clear motive as to why smollett would concoct the story which he described in detail. reporting live in the newsroom, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> interesting facts as they unfold. it is 5:38 right now. all westbound lanes of highway 37 still closed this morning because of the storm. the closure from atherton avenue to highway 10 in novato. crews say the pest case scenario it will be be open in the middle of the week.

another bad ruling, and then we'll end up in the supreme court. >> during the same speech, the president speculated whether he would get the nobel peace prize. mr. trump says he was nominated by the japanese prime minister. a major newspaper in japan says prime minister abe did nominate the president because the white house asked him to. >> i'll probably never get it but that's okay, they gave it to obama. he didn't even know what he got it for. he was there for about 15 seconds and he got the nobel prize. he said what did i get it for? >> the president's rose garden announcement caught the attention of "saturday night live" which ran a skit with alec baldwin. we probably wouldn't have mentioned this at all but the president made a big deal out of it on twitter calling for "retribution" against nbc. "ing in funny about tired "saturday night live" on fake news nbc. question is, how do the networks get away with these total republican jobs without

retribution." the president will travel to miami today, to florida international university. he's going to demand venezuelan president nicolas maduro step down from power. the president of the country's parliament says he is the legal leader of venezuela. we'll watch that and cover that on twitter. follow me, i'm @scottmcgrew. a big cat is safe and sound after being rescued from a tree. look at that mountain lion, lying there in the tree, this is outside the home on hesperiahes. wild life officials tranquilized the animal, once he regained consciousness, rescue crews were able to release the lion. >> do you think it is the lion that needed the help? i think it was the homeowner, having a heart attack when you see that big old cat up there. >> i would have called no matter where the lion was. >> big kitty cat.

>> ding dong. >> this morning, we were taulkig about how the mountain lions warm up. it's been cold around here and we're dealing with dense fog, taking a look at dublin so you're dealing with this and it's also very cold, and concerned about the possibility of some freezing fog in that area, because we've been close to freezing for quite a while and especially elevated bridges and overpasses. it is 30 degrees in livermore and also seeing spotty, freezing temperatures in parts of the north bay but all feeling some cold air. as you are getting dressed it's one for the coat break out the dress shoes finally and we'll have cold temperatures in dublin as you make your way out to the b.a.r.t. station below freezing at least through about 7:00 and we will gradually warm up. it's going to take a while but we will enjoy more sunshine, and some dry weather over the next

couple of days. here is our next storm, we're seeing it well to the west of us and it will be until about wednesday before it arrives. as we go hour by hour, we see clear skies today. tomorrow more sunshine, but then the clouds will start to move in early on wednesday. the rain by wednesday afternoon, and it will be a quick one and done i think by thursday. it's all clearing out from the bay area, after leaving some very light amounts of rain. we're not going to see any major storms this week, definitely great news. high temperatures reaching into the mid-50s inland. saturday will be the best day, up to 60 degrees and a slight chance of rain again on sunday, but overall, a much more quiet week compared to all the storms we had last week. headed over to mike, you've had a busy morning. >> kari, surprisingly busy for such light traffic flow. the issue now is i'm trying to sort out what was going on. we did confirm it's a second crash in the same spot where we had the first traffic alert this morning. chp once again calls a traffic alert, contra costa county moving smoothly except for here,

westbound 80. your upper east shore freeway coming into pinole out of hercules. sudden slowing and they stopped traffic again. i think they're running a traffic break to clear another crash from the backup from the first crash as it was clearing. this is more troublesome, tougher to get around this one. folks are backed up started at highway 4. hopefully they can clear lanes quickly but we'll track that again, a delay off the carquinez bridge. we have westbound highway 37 closed and eastbound is down to one lane between atherton avenue and 101, so you'll use that as an alternate for the next few days at least tracking that and the levee work over there. the rest of the bay very light. back to you, marcus. >> thanks, mike. happening now, a florida family is relieved after they got some help from very unlikely place, a couple accidentally locked their infant inside their vehicle at the judicial center. just as that father was about to smash the window, some inmates

stephen stock. >> reporter: it's no secret sfo is built on landfill. what isn't so well-known is the fact it is built on landfill also means it is sinking, and at different rates, depending on where you're located. several sources both within the commercial airline industry and federal safety oversight tell me they're worried this sinking is creating more and more problems. >> well, it's probably because the runways are built on fill. they extend out on the bay. you the subsidence and differential settling. >> reporter: from your experience, does this impact flights? >> eventually it does. you have to take a runway out of service and repave it. all airports have to go through and repave runways eventually. sfo, because they are on fill, is more problematic. >> reporter: coming up at 11:00, we talk to a scientist heading up a study that measured how fast sfo was sinking and you'll see firsthand what it means for the runways. that's tonight at 11:00 on "nbc bay area news." >> if you have a tip for our investigative unit, go i have them a call, 888-996-tips or

it's for the first time in many spots since ten days. so as we start out this morning, we are seeing some freezing conditions in the tri-valley, as well as parts of the north bay. we've also had some patchy fog, so those roads may be a little bit icy, some freezing fog in some spots. san jose starting out at 36 degrees. it is frosty all around the bay area, as we head over toward cupertino, our temperatures will warm up into the mid-50s today, but that is not close to our normal high of 63 degrees. so we'll talk about that, and when the rain comes back, and mike, the second traffic alert of the morning. >> a second traffic alert for one spot, as we talked about with marcus there. overall, the bay looks great for these speed sensors, not a real problem with the lighter volume of traffic expected this holiday monday for most, but here, this has been the problem pinole off the carquinez bridge west 80 starting on your approach to pinole valley road you're jammed up. the earlier crash at appian way, as that cleared there was a disabled vehicle in the backup, that
