it could pose a danger to your safety. kris sanchez joins us live from mineta, san jose. should travelers be worried? >> reporter: at this point, what we know is that the faa is trying to figure out whether the way ground crews calculate the total weight of all that baggage going into cargo is accurate enough for pilots to know how much weight they work with particularly in the event of an emergency, in just the last 20 minutes i did get a statement back from southwest airlines confimco confirming the faa has an open letter of investigation. the faa confirmed its year-long investigation to the "wall street journal" as well. southwest depends on a manual count by ground crews and you've probably seen that if you ever sat in a window seat on a southwest flight. the ground crews use a calculation using the average bag weight before they load the bags. the faa estimates in about a third of all flights that could lead to uneven weight distribution between the front and rear cargo bays which could

impact pilot response in an emergency with an engine. in the statement i got from southwest, the airline disputes that faa estimate saying there is no current information to support it. at this point, the faa has not issued any disciplinary action nor fines and at this point, there is no accident linked to this problem. southwest airlines told the faa that the "wall street journal" rather the airline is rolling out computerized scanning of all bags on the tarmac, that should happen by the end of the year, what the impact is of that on this investigation we're not sure at this point but i'll post that statement from southwest for you in my twitter feed so you can take a look for yourself. kris sanchez, "today in the bay" >> thanks for the latest, kris. now let's check the morning commute with mike, if you're not in the air, maybe you're on the roads. >> some people say they're flying down the roadway, reminder, chp is always doing their work enforcing that speed limit. we're looking where things are moving at speed for the green we

schultz is still brewing, bernie sanders ready to serve. >> well put. we first announced it as it happened. sanders said he will run once again for the democratic nomination for president in 2020. sanders, of course, a liberal democrat from vermont, who caught the imagination of many in the last go-round, before ultimately losing the primary to hillary clinton. so we're going to add sanders to our long list of candidates, at this point all just jockeying for position in money. this is going to get more serious as we get closer to the iowa caucuses. california and more than a dozen other states have filed a lawsuit to block president trump's declaration of emergency. the suit says the president is wrong when he says it's an emergency. during his rose garden speech, the president himself indicated he didn't have an emergency. that's listed on page 30 of the suit. it says diverting money away from current projects would hurt the states listed in the suits. in an early morning tweet the president said "as i predicted

16 cities," he means states there of course "led mostly by open border democrats and the radical left, have foiled a lawsuit in, of course, the ninth kiir s circuit. california, the state that has wasted billions on their out of control fast train." he is almost certainly right, the suit was intentionally filed in the northern district of california because if his order is blocked there, it appeals to the ninth circuit, he's right, he's had a string of tough luck in the ninth circuit and then on to the supreme court. meanwhile, expect movement in congress today as well. the house will likely call for a vote to try to overturn the order. the president can still veto it. the president will also order the creation of space force, it's not the one he wanted show. it's not a separate branch of

the military like army or navy. we're waiting on abdrew mccabe, he'll be on the "today" show coming up at 7:00, how he briefed the gang of eight in congress about the investigation into the president. we'll be tweeting that, you can find me @scottmcgrew. >> thanks, scott. okay, so if you looked up last night and you have a chance right now, maybe you might get to see the brightest moon of the year, this is called the super snow moon. if you didn't get a chance to catch it last night, that's okay. you have another chance tonight, that's if it's not too cloudy. kari i a beautiful sight but hopefully the clouds won't put down the view. >> the cold front will be approaching by tomorrow morning, there is that possibility the clouds may block your view of that super moon, but it is still nice and clear out there now, but it's very cold as you get ready to step out the door. that's the thing we've been talking about. headed to the north bay as we

get a live look at the san rafael camera. we're watching out as you head out for your drive this morning, santa rosa we're down to 31 degrees, also 31 in ukiah. a lot of 30s on the map here for the parts of the bay and the inland areas. in livermore we're below freezing and san martin also below freezing. getting ready to head out to the pleasant hill b.a.r.t. station 34 degrees at 6:00. we keep the clear skies for today which is of course is some great news. it was nice to get the sunshine yesterday. we're still going to have sunshine today, and our high temperatures in many spots almost ten degrees cooler than where we should be, but i think we'll take it at this point, after all of that rain and we will see the rain returning the system dropping down from the north and as that slides closer to the bay area we'll see the clouds moving in. the system is not that strong and actually really starved for moisture. so we are going to see some

spotty showers moving through, starting out late tomorrow morning in parts of the north bay and continuing elsewhere as we go into the afternoonafterno. this is what the rpm model is showing more how much rain we may measure. a lot of us will not see much of anything, maybe some trace amounts of rain at the most, close to a tenth of an inch, not that much. as we go into the rest of the forecast, some highs in the mid-50s, clouds roll back in saturday, and this by no means looks like a wash-out. it is still good to have that rain chance in the forecast, make it a little bit more busy after this into next week so that's something i'll keep you up to date on. headed back to mike, you've been tracking a few issues especially coming out of the east bay. >> that's right, both of the issues, well, should be standard at this point. we did have an additional slowing san leandro and of

for you, and getting over toward atherton avenue we have this slower drive. folks approaching it just like on friday starting to jam up. a live picture shows you where ethan our photographer is, this is the closure highway 37 at atherton, folks have to wait, it's jamming up atherton avenue will take you oand from highway 101. bridging the gap between the two freeways, eastbound counter commute no slowing shows up, only one lane continues there and of course, we have the backup at the bay bridge. back to you. >> thanks, mike. happening now, some breaking news in the fashion industry. fashion designer and icon karl lagerfield died. the german designer was the creative director for chanel and fendi passed away at 85. he was unwell for several weeks and missed a number of fashion shows. this morning donatello versace are tweeting remembrances. next and new this morning,
