6:04 am
unclear when the permanent fixes on those roads will be completed. live in martinez, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> thanks so much, pete. we're not in the clear just yet. as kari mentioned, some scattered showers out there right now. as you can see on our radar. they are going to linger throughout the morning. in case you haven't already, you can download free nbc bay area map, take the live radar we use in the newsroom to find out will what the weather is where you're headed. paul manafort finds himself in a long sentence there. he could spend the rest of his life behind bars. right now "today in the bay's" tracie potts in washington for us with a preview of the sentencing. tracie. >> hi, marcus. good morning, everyone. this sentencing could bring a long time behind bars for paul manafo manafort. he is 69 years old and he's looking at decades in prison.

neighboring small businesses. new for you this morning, san francisco is looking at new voting machines that would allow even more rank choice voting. the sf examiner reporting the new machines let up to 10 picks before they were limited to three choices. in place in time for the new election when mayor london breed us up for re-election, although it doesn't appear she faces a competitive race, the voting system costs about $2 million. 6:09 right now. let's go live to sfo where we saw those cancellations and delays for the past couple of days. right now good news, things on track, even though we have some showers in spots. no delays to report right now. i don't know about you, kari. when you come back from a vacation, you're ready to take the next one or at least plan it. >> you're tired from being on vacati vacation. >> that's good. some of that spotty rain moving through and looking at the peninsula with spotty rain on
6:10 am
storm ranger. that's what we can expect. mostly light showers, a cold front dipping through. that's going to keep our temperatures cool today. so as we head over to concord, some upper 40s to start. we only reach up to 56 degrees and there may be some quick passing showers. overall we are going to see a mix of sun and clouds and some breezy winds throughout today. we'll talk about what's ahead and what's going on in the sierra in just a few minutes. mike, you're saying there are still some problems as you get ready to head out on the roads in some spots. >> kari, we'll start with a look at bay bridge toll plaza. you're familiar with the view. for the last several minutes, i was very concerned. i'll step in and show you, i was watching right here. these are the hov lanes and they are completely stopped for three or four minutes. there's a crash at the bay bridge toll plaza. it did clear. it cleared to the far side from the detail from chp. that crash i believe has cleared
6:11 am

6:12 am
6:14 am
6:15 am
see temperatures holding steady in the low 50s. yeah, there's still some rain in the forecast today. we'll talk about that, get a look at the sierra and weekend forecast in less than five minutes. >> we're looking at this. look at the bottom of the screen. a string of crashes came up on the chp report between san jose and monterey jurisdiction. we'll sort out the details. sensors are green but that may change dramatically. >> good morning to you. a lot of economic data. the trade deficit has gotten much bigger. we get the jobs report tomorrow. the fed's beige book says prices are pretty stable out here in the west and the job market is tight. you knew that. sales force turns 20 years old tomorrow. facebook once again apologizing and promising to do better. mark zuckerberg wrote a blog post announcing changes to the social network. he says they are going to work on private messaging, less concentration on public sharing and ephemeral posts like snapchat where they go away.
6:16 am
you have to take anything facebook says with an enormous block of salt. zuckerberg has promised changes and gone on apology tours several times in the past. what facebook says it's going to do and what it accomplishes not always the same. specifically zuckerberg says facebook will concentrate on private intersections, not public, continue to enkrift all -- encrypt all of its messages including keeping law enforcement out and in facebook's words improve permanence, the snapchat-style post that is erase themselves after a period of time if you want them to. back here in the studio, we are having a lot of fun with the podcast, sandhill road. sand hill road is the home to venture capital in menlo park. this is a podcast for how money glues the bay area together. venture capitalist tim draper says starbucks will soon accept

6:18 am
if you're not interested in high finance, give it a try. it's much like "press: here," you'll be surprised how interesting people are. >> it happens right here in our backyard. >> it does. very important to the bay area. >> good deal. we'll look forward to that. 6:18 right now. let's talk about renting movies. >> how often -- look at this. blockbuster. you thought they were all gone. nope, not at all. a lot of them are gone. but there is one still around holding on by a blockbuster card there. maybe we should remind everyone vhs, they still have it there. they still have them. >> to get their netflix? >> no, no, no. they use vhs in their vcrs. no netflix there. >> not at all. i'm surprised they still have those there. this one in australia.

6:20 am
morning in danville will be pretty much what you'll feel as you go pick them up. upper 40s to low 50s and mostly cloudy skies. it's not the bright, sunny day we'd like at this point, and we do still have the need for the umbrella every now and then, we're seeing that on storm ranger. still light rain moving through parts of the peninsula over santa cruz mountains. we're also seeing light rain moving through parts of the east bay around fremont and also as you get ready to head out on the roads on 580. now looking at still have rain in the region, some sierra snow. the cold front moving in. then over the weekend, we'll turn our attention to another system approaching that will bring us more showers saturday. as we take a live look outside at golden gate bridge, can you see leftover rain after measuring an inch and a half of rain there. in the santa cruz mountains, 4" of rain over the past few days. kentfield had 2.5" of rain. san jose we only made about
6:21 am
0.75" but that was still pretty good. we still have rain chances through today especially in the south bay watching out for that this afternoon. looking at squaw creek, it is such an amazing sunrise. a lot of snow. more on the way as we check out squaw valley and the forecast for alpine meadows. we had a season total of nearly 600" of snow. our forecast shows still some more active weather with breaks in between. i'll be looking forward to getting more sunshine tomorrow and again on sunday into monday. another chance of rain in the forecast on tuesday. mike, you were seeing scattered reports in the south bay. >> when you said 600", make sure i heard that correctly. over here northbound routes moving smoothly through the south bay, damp roadways, sprinkles through the area. right here 101, you see this string of crashes reported. that alarmed me as they popped up. i think they are all details
6:22 am
about a similar crash situation right here where 85 and 101 meet heading south in towards south county and toward morgan hill. southbound 101 at 85. the latest report says you are down to two lanes as you're getting down. counter commute, we see a little bit of slowing that showed up just as i was speaking. that's where the crash looks like it's located if you're headed down out of san jose and in towards morgan hill. the rest of the commute directions moving smoothly, standard there. over at the bay bridge there was an incident, a bit of oil that spilled off the back of a truck. that's what caused slowing towards treasure island. all clear from all lanes. you have the berkeley curve recovering now. >> that's good. hopefully smoothed out. thanks, mike. you've probably talked about this song, heard this song here, sung the song. lady gaga and bradley cooper. "shallow" raising the bar. the new record setting. you don't want to miss this one
