commute that's starting to back up in spots. >> it is. two crashes that you need to know about as you head out the door, the first is in the east bay, starting some seeing heavy delays and the second in the south bay. the rest of the bay area is okay. first the crash in the east bay, the folks that are taking southbound 880 need to take some extra time, definitely make that breakfast burrito, take it out the door and head out. three vehicles the number two lane causing delays, this is past the 92 interchange. we're noticing some slowing as well in the south bay. this is from an earlier crash along southbound 101 at the santa clara street. there are a couple of lanes still blocked and i've seen the slowing get worse progressively. here say quick check of east bay drive times. a lot of slowing in the east bay. back to you. a south bay neighborhood this morning shaken up by the discovery of a woman found dead inside her home. >> there is no longer a police

presence in the neighborhood. personnel cleared the scene a short time ago. this is video from before that, when the corner drove away with the woman's body, this is cnollfield way in san jose. police are not saying how that woman died but say homicide investigators are now on the case. the taped off-street raised a lot of neighbors' concerns. >> normally this street is really quiet, so seeing this many police officers on our street is just kind of bizarre. ? >> the coroner will release the woman's identity when the family is notified. police say there was no sign of forced entry. one of the big stories along the russian river this morning, residents may be allowed to return to guerneville in just hours. this is so they can see the extent of the damage for themselves. the sonoma county sheriff's office says the town may reopen

at noon today, but this is just for those residents, at last check, more than 2,000 homes are flooded in marin county. heads up for drivers in the area, the westbound lanes of highway 37 are still closed at atherton avenue. had to put the historic flooding into perspective, california's largest reservoir, lake shasta is up 39 feet in el vision since the start of february. we have a picture in guerneville area there, pete suratos will be live for us this morning. the russian river in just about 25 minutes. as the oakland teachers strike enters its seventh day, other teachers in contra costa county may also hit the picket lines. teachers in san ramon are asking for more money. >> "today in the bay's" bob redell live for us this morning. bob? >> marcus and kris, the 1700 teachers who teach here at walt disney elementary and the other schools in san ramon have been voting since monday on whether or not to strike. tonight is their deadline to submit their final vote.

last night, look at this video, the san ramon valley teachers association, the union who represents the teachers, they held a town hall with parents to share their concerns and explain their position. the teachers are fighting for higher pay and want more nurses, librarians and counselor answer smaller class sizes. >> we have right now large class sizes, and that is not good for our students. we want to make sure that our students are able to develop relationships with their educators, and our educators are able to do the best work possible to serve our students. >> the district and association are still in negotiations. teacher also have until 5:00 tonight to submit their vote on whether or not to strike. the association says it will not move forward with the strike unless 90% of the teachers are for it. and in oakland, just west of here, teachers there will be headed back to the picket lines shortly for today for what would

be day seven of their strike. there does seem to be a glimmer of hope this might get resolved soon. both sides negotiate until 3:00 wednesday morning, 5:00 yesterday morning and midnight last night. in other words, they're not walking out on each other. the district has raised its salary offer to an 8% raise over three years and one-time 2% bonus. the teachers are asking for a 12% raise over three years. according to the east bay times, the oakland education association says that negotiations are "making some progress." reporting live here in san ramon, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> all right, thank you very much, bob. a lot of folks watching that one. it is 6:05 now, and new this morning, a campbell community is coming together to remember a 17-year-old boy. kirk vasquez died in a car crash tuesday. a go fund me page is working to raise money for his family and so far more than $7,000 has been

"today in the bay's" susan mcginnis is live in washington with more and we're all waiting what the president has to say

once he gets back mainland. susan? >> that's right, marcus and kris, good morning. earlier this week the president was facing the leader of north korea, now he's facing the aftermath of cohen's testimony. president trump landed in washington hours after michael cohen finished three days of appearances before congressional committees. the president made an appearance on fox. >> we you have an attorney, you're supposed to rely on your attorney. >> attorney/client privilege. >> it's also called reliance and he just was not much of an attorney, that i will tell you. i thought it was a terrible display of dishonesty, actually. >> in dramatic testimony this week, cohen painted his former boss as a racist con man who directed him to lie about extramarital affairs and about his business dealings in russia. >> mr. trump knew of and directed the trump moscow negotiations throughout the campaign and lied about it. >> on capitol hill, points of view on cohen fell along party

lines. >> cohen's going to jail. why? for lying. >> we are moving into territory that is very perilous for the president, and cannot be ignored by the congress. >> congress sees cohen's testimony as a road map for future witnesses. >> allen weisselberg, ron lieberman and matthew calimari. >> it doesn't seem that the president and his companions are out of the woods yet. federal prosecutors in manhattan are continuing their work. >> as are congressional investigators with the long-awaited mueller report expected any day. and cohen is scheduled for a repeat appearance on capitol hill next wednesday, and kris, you said we're all anxious to hear from the president. he has been tweeting like crazy this morning, bashing cohen, saying he perjured himself and

saying the russia investigation is a witch hunt. new details the recent winter storms are helping wash away the state drought. the u.s. drought monitor reports that 80% of california is now free of drought conditions. state water resource officials say that the vital sierra nevada snowpack is now at 153% of average. a measurement taken yesterday near sierra at tahoe found 113 inches of snow, compared to 13 inches a year ago. good news for us, kari >> absolutely. there's more rain and snow in the forecast, as we get a live look outside in oakland this morning, as you get ready to head out the door, it's already busy and the temperatures are cool with some mid-40s right now, and then as we go throughout the day, we are going to see in walnut creek our temperatures going from the mid-40s to the upper 50s today with more clouds moving in, and the rain moving in later on

tonight. so i'll have the time line on that, and also the sierra snow report. vianey has a look at the morning commute. >> if you live in the east bay or commuting to the east bay, you've probably got the toughest commute so far. an overall look at the bay area, the peninsula is doing great. a crash cleared at whipple and another crash near the santa clara street exit that is still working to get cleared but it should be cleared out with enough time. however, this one is causing some pretty good delays. i have a little bit of an update, it looks like now that they're on scene, they'll be able to clear out some debris along southbound 880 at whipple road. that's one of our slower slots. westbound 80 toward the bay bridge looking at 17 minutes, the metering lights have been on since about 5:30, too. back to you. next and all new this hour, an uber ride going viral, the driver's menu of options for how he would act during the ride has a lot of folks chuckling online. and speaking of driving, after years of waiting, tesla is

on the "today" show later this morning. >> first of all, we released and say these are community guide lines but we're constantly refining them, because the world is changing. when we make changes to our policies we consult with experts, whether they are experts in child safety, experts in law enforcement. >> the big announcement from tesla i mentioned the $35,000 tesla model 3 is finally here, and that shudder you heard across the bay area was all the other car dealers. the model 3 goes farther than any other electric car made by traditional carmakers and that has a cool factor. tesla is going to shut down many of the stores to save money. order the tesla 3 online. you can do that now, in fact. some stores in flagship locations will stay open more as a way to advertise than anything else. spacex will send the crew version of its dragon capsule to the international space station without a crew inside. 'the first launch of the crew capsule, there will be a crash test dummy inside, they're calls ripley as from the alien's movie. spacex has style, let me prove it to you, look at the crew

access arm, the bridge that astronauts will eventually use to walk from the gantry to the capsule. not this time because it's unmanned but come on! this is the sexiest bridge ever. compare this one to this, this is boeing's crew access arm. boeing working on a private funded capsule they'll send to the space station. this is not sexy. it's functional but not sexy. >> when you're in space, as long as it works. >> but admittedly functional is more important. >> we need some paint or something. zhush zhush. thanks, scott. new this morning, talk about going the extra mile, what an enterprise uber driver handing out this handy dandy ride type menu to customers. if you'd like the stand up ride, we get the feeling he's an aspiring comedian with material to share and the silent ride, the rude ride, he could be as

rude as possible. what is the matter with you, if you want a rude ride. the driver tells "forbes" the fare selected a therapy ride. if you're ready for t the docit doctor is apparently in the driver's seat. >> surprisingly, i like a silent ride, even though i talk a lot. >> i like a silent ride. >> safe and sound but i appreciate all of you. >> if you had a bad day and want to just go at it with somebody, that might be a good ride to take. >> that's right. >> let me tell you something! you might get an earful come saturday with keeping track of the storms. >> people are tired of the rain at this point but we know we still need t so as we get more rounds of it, we just don't need it in big doses. as we get started this morning, it's nice to have the breaks in between, and then looking live at the golden gate bridge there the commute is not soggy and slippery like it has been for much of the week.

storm ranger showing we don't have any storms moving through now, but it's also giving us a view of the storm that's moving across the pacific northwest, that will bring our next round of rain, as this moves closer, we'll start to see the showers moving in, as early as tomorrow morning. so at least it's good this morning, getting the kids out the door for school in san jose, and east san jose, evergreen will be in the mid-40s, and then a mix of sun and clouds throughout the early hours of the day, but then by the time you go back to pick them up from school it will be mostly cloudy, with the temperatures staying mild, reaching into the upper 50s. there will be a few spots making it into the low 60s today. oakland today up to 58 degrees, and 59 in santa rosa. we will stay mostly cloudy today, and then by tomorrow morning, here we are already at 3:00 in the morning, and the radar is covered with rain, and some of the heaviest rain will move through early, then become more scattered but at any point throughout the day tomorrow, there may be some showers passing by so you have to be prepared for that, it moves out early on sunday, and then we get ready for the next storm system

set to move in by tuesday afternoon, and that could bring in some much more significant rain. but the first round of rain that we see tomorrow will bring us about a half of an inch for most of us. it could be a little bit higher for the santa cruz mountains, and then for parts of the north bay, ukiah getting three-quarters of an inch of rain and more rain monday and heavy downpours with an atmospheric river for the middle of next week. headed over to vianey, starting to get more busy out there on the roads. >> very busy. it's expected. it's the 6:00 hour. it is a friday morning commute and we did just see a crash pop up near cupertino, and i'm going to investigate and see what that's all about but i have some fantastic news, if you're traveling along southbound 880, you were worried about the earlier crash. we were' seeing residual traffic but all lanes are clear and the crash has cleared along southbound 101 at whipple road. fantastic. traffic is working to recover there so still busy but at least they've managed to clear out the road. as far as your south bay drive

times, north bay 101 from highway 85, 22 minutes. northbound 280 from highway 101 to 85 eight minutes and northbound 85 from highway 101 about 21 minutes. a live look right now in san jose, as we wait for that sun to come up, we're going to hope these roads continue to smooth on by into the weekend. am i right? send it back to you. >> i'll go where you're going. next for you here on "today in the bay," the dramatic chairlift rescue at a popular ski spot. the teenaged boys being hailed heroes. what they're saying this morning. you're watching "today in the bay."

the highest stage in more than 20 years, resulted in plenty of damage. we'll see a lot of the debris throughout the next couple of days, and even for folks that are used to flooding in this area, they've admitted they've never seen anything like this. >> i think i had probably six feet of water come into my house yesterday. and i haven't seen it yet. >> we anticipate that that area is going to get flooded by about three feet, not nine feet. >> the sonoma county sheriff's department wants to let folks in at 12:00 p.m., but we have seen some folks driving in here, that's why we moved to this spot because you still see plenty of debris in the street, as this is still a local state of emergency, that's what governor gavin newsom declared. it's going to be a reason for folks and seeing debris when they come in here, they'll see debris firsthand when they drive in here this morning. we're live in guerneville, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> it's always amazing to see the damage that floodwaters can

cause. we know fires and earthquakes can do but when you see the aftermath of just a flood, it's amazing. >> you can't see what's underneath until it's gone. thank you, pete. this morning, we learned one person did die in floodwaters in humboldt county. according to the sheriff's deputies, the man was trying to his farm through a barn in four to five feet of water, when he got swept up in a fast-moving current. you just can't tell. two other people tried to rescue him using a tractor, but the tractor stalled, and they were unable to reach him. in just a few hours, the man charged with killing a come at woman at a b.a.r.t. station returns to court. we're expecting to find out the results of a mental health evaluation. john lee cowell is accused of stabbing 18-year-old nia wilson to death at the macarthur b.a.r.t. station last july. wilson's sister was also stabbed. cowell could enter a plea in the case today as well. also due in court today an

continue to rise. cities and counties impacted by the epidemic want companies to pay for treatment facilities and rehab programs. if you live in hayward, get ready to pay more to have your garbage and recycling picked up at the curb. the teachers are fighting for higher pay. bills at multifamily properties will be increased by it $14. a couple of crashes cleared out but we have some residual delays in the south bay. as far as the east bay goes southbound 808 cleared out and we are noticing that the traffic is starting to build, this is just part of the regular traffic buildup. no crashes along northbound or southbound 101 but it's getting busy out there, and i do want to take you over to that earlier crash along northbound 85 at
