5:39 am
5:40 am
5:42 am
north bay, grab your umbrella. we are tracking showers through the evening hours. right now most areas of dry. 48 in dublin. wind speeds are call. it will be muggy out there. we are talking about 60s and 70s. i'll break down our next bigger rain chance coming up in just a bit. we're probably talking the same numbers as far as the speed. 65 in palo alto. here's 101. we'll show you what things look like on 101 in the city. all new for you this morning, a fire sweeps through a homeless camp last night in los gatos. this is video just into our newsroom showing the flames. i want you to listen closely. you can hear the fire popping. it happened 12:30 on highway 17 at the main street overcross. one lane was shut down while crews worked to put out the fire. it is back open now.

5:45 am
through long beach, straight to mexico. so a trade deficit hard to calculate. we have a trade surplus actually. he said our detention are max said out. we will take no more illegals. if you come to the u.s. to ask for an asylum, you are not an illegal. you are not breaking the law. no doubt we have a crisis at the border. more people on the southern border that we can process. congress has taken no action so far. something needs to be done. the border is hard to define. does the president include airports, people and goods coming in on planes. cargo ships, cruise ships, vacationers? the bureau of customs and border has not been given that information. here's dick durbin. >> when the president says he's going to close the border, that is a totally unrealistic boast on his part. what we need to do is focus on

5:47 am
>> someone is in first place. marcus, you came in second there. >> i guess so. let's take a look at that. that looks horrible. but i did have virginia -- no, i didn't. i was like, oh, i did well in something. oh, well. >> what about you, mike? >> no, no, no. >> a lot of xs there. >> a lot of xs. >> how about kari? >> she got auburn. look at that. >> there you go. there's our scoreboard right there. >> why am i smile something that's ridiculous. it was a nice run. >> 1% of the brackets picked the final four. >> one analyst had three of the four. pretty amazing. >> wow, that's pretty good. >> i was impressed. there was a reason why he's an analyst. >> this is the year we probably
5:48 am
should have bet some money on it. >> you think so. >> i would have lost. >> i know i won't do a good job. >> you have numbers of a different sort for us. >> i do. and i can predict the future in other ways. right? the weather! so much prediction in weather, as you all know, which is why it's constantly changing. a lot of you are like, hey, it's going to rain. i didn't say it was going to pour. i said light showers. that's exactly what we're seeing. a lot of it isn't even touching the ground in north bay, which is fantastic news for us. golden gate bridge, look at that. beautiful shot through there. current temperatures in the 40s and the 50s. so it's not cold. it's actually kind of mild. that's making for a muggy start to our day. where is the rain right now? let's look at doppler radar. zooming in, you can see a lot of moisture offshore. a lot is far off to the north. santa rosa getting very light rain. this is a disorganized weak
5:49 am
system. a lot will stay confined to the north. anything that manages to push farther south, your hour by hour outlook shows it. san rafael, san francisco. light on and off showers continue through tuesday. light to moderate showers possible. it will spread throughout the day into tuesday. again, it's not really heavy. less than a tenth of an inch. stronger storm possible next friday. your storm factor, isolated chance of thunderstorms. this storm is bringing snow to the sierra. already impressive snowpack year, your winter season. two to four inches possible at 7,000 feet. microclimate highs for today, mainly muggy. santa rosa, 66 degrees. napa, 67. oakland, 66.
