6:04 am
>> so it's complete exoneration, no collusion, no obstruction. >> it is imperative that the attorney general release the full report and underlying evidence. >> now, we are also hearing from as i said the white house. they want to see the mueller report come out as well. the attorney general says he will work with mueller to figure out if there's anything classified, and how much they can release. we don't know how soon that will be. laura? >> tracie, before we let you go, does this affect the other investigations involving the president and that of his family and other people who worked with him? >> no, the investigations of his business, his finances, his inaugural committee, his charity, none of that affected by this. >> all right, completely separate. thanks so much, tracie. 6:04 right now. of course, we have in-depth reporting on the mueller report all on our home page as well. head to nbcbayarea.com.

6:48 am
raining, starting out. and then our school day forecast for oakland starts out dry, but then by the time the kids get out of school, we'll feel temperatures in the low 60s and some scattered showers starting to move in. we're already seeing the rain in the north bay. it's been in parts of northern sonoma county for hours, and even some pockets of some really heavy rain, just east of santa rosa, we've seen the rainfall rate at about almost an inch of rain per hour. that means if that same little cell sat over the same area, we could pick up on an inch of rain or close to it, within an hour's time. but the rain is pretty much moving in some of the pockets of the heavier rain not staying in the same spots, but we will still have the north bay, the target of the rain, until about noon, and then the leading edge of that rain starts to make it into san francisco, and the east bay by about 1:00 to 2:00, and starting to make its way into the south bay. mostly after sunset and it looks like that line of rain starts to fall apart, becomes more
6:49 am
scattered, so we're not going to see as much rain in the south bay as we'll see in the north bay. some of our rainfall estimates show as you move south of the golden gate bridge, you're looking at about a quarter inch of rain, and it could be up to a half inch, maybe even three-are the quarters of an inch toward ukiah. the next storm system that will be here on wednesday, it's going to bring us more rain, looking at most of us getting about an inch of rain especially for the east bay for the peninsula and northward. it's going to be windy, with that second storm system arriving on wednesday, and then it tapers off on thursday, and look at that, weekend forecast, after a rainy week much deserved weekend of warm weather and sunshine. san francisco highs reaching into the mid to upper 60s. and mike, you've got a big deal happening in the south bay. >> but not the good kind. not like the weekend you're showing. a crash major crash reported here. most of the bay shows a smooth drive. it is northbound 17 where chp has reported a major crash but
6:50 am
not major injuries. that's an important difference here. we have traffic jammed up solid from hamilton up toward about 280, i think the crash is just shy of 280 judging by the speed sensors. you can use baskham, winchester to get by and what's happening, folks are hearing about the crash, some are instead of going to 17 are choosing northbound 87 as an alternate. this will be building and seeing the slower drive, you may take capitol to 101. more slowing coming off of 85 and headed up toward alum rock and mckee. that may be the ripple effect. just warning you as we track that crash in san jose. the peninsula is an easy drive for palo alto as the sun comes up. slower now westbound 92, and there is a crash reported at the toll plaza, that will complicate things off of 880. the dumbarton bridge looking much better, and we have the bay bridge which is looking standard. laura, back to you. >> thank you very much. 6:50 right now. happening now, china is censoring more than two
