the google program students are using to get around safeguards. kari timing out our next storm. when the rain arrives tomorrow. "today in the bay" continues right now. we want to talk about the weather. the rain has cleared out for the moment. >> for now. for today. we're looking good. then tomorrow the next round of rain comes in. and it looks like it's going to be a soggy weekend across the bay area. so plan for that. we are seeing that first system that rolled through, the first two storm systems that rolled through. now over the sierra and pushing east. headed to fruitvale parking lot, it will start cloudy. low 60s by early afternoon. going into the forecast once

again clearing today. we'll get a closer look at the timeline coming up. mike, you were checking on it something in fremont. >> i am. it is not a lot. we are showing a great, steady flow of traffic for southbound 880. it is a lighter route. saw a little bit of slowing. a disabled vehicle or a fender-bender somewhere approaching there. it looks like the slowing sorted itself out. we'll check with chp. it might have quickly cleared from the roadway. things are light around the bay. there's the south bay. there's the peninsula. you're at speed into san francisco. and through contra costa county, a freight flow of traffic. the only thing we see that stands out is the toll plaza. on capitol hill, president trump is weighing in on heading to war with iran. lawmakers expressing their frustration over the lack of information.

"today in the bay"'s craig boswell is live in washington with more. craig? >> reporter: marcus, good morning. good morning, everyone. some lawmakers are now being brought into the loop, but still a lot of concerns and some frustrations remaining. a short response from president trump to a direct question about war with iran. >> mr. president, are we going to war with iran? >> i hope not. >> reporter: a handful of lawmakers, the so-called gang of 8, including members from both parties, were the first lawmakers briefed days after the administration cited unspecified intelligence reports that iran is planning to attack u.s. forces in the middle east. congressional leaders say they're being left in the dark. >> the senate is sort of outraged that we haven't been briefed by the administration. >> reporter: the administration sent military to the middle east. >> i have not been briefed about why we withdrew people from the consulate and the embassy. that's disappointing and unacceptable.

>> reporter: nbc news confirmed the president told patrick shanahan he does not want to go to war with iran. >> a responsibility in the constitution is for congress to declare war. so i hope that the president's advisers recognize they have no authorization to go forward in any way. >> reporter: critics say national security adviser john bolton is to blame. >> he's trying to go to iran for this war. >> i temper john. which is pretty amazing, isn't it? >> reporter: he advises that they are pushing him to conflict. and an iran briefing for all senators is next tuesday. for all house members will be later next week. marcus, back to you. craig, something everyone will be watching for. thank you. we are getting new numbers when it comes to homelessness across the bay area. for some, this may come as no surprise. but the numbers are increasing. and san francisco's mayor is

responding with a multimillion dollar proposal to help ease the crisis. pete suratos joins us. one of the counties now seeing a spike. pete? >> reporter: yeah. where we are seeing the numbers when it comes to the homeless population increase across the board when it comes to a few counties that release the numbers. recently overnight and reporting that. but san francisco, really when you talk about the homeless population, that's the epicenter of this issue. let's talk about san francisco's numbers, according to the latest data. according to city officials with san francisco, the homeless population is just a shade over 8,000. so that is an increase of 17% since they last took the numbers. san francisco mayor london breed is responding to this news with an announcement of a $5 million investment to prevent homelessness. that will include move-in assistance, family reunificat n reunifications for housing and employment. here in alameda county, a 43%

increase compared to 2017, including individuals sleeping in streets, cars, as well as abandoned properties. and then in santa clara county, the number of homeless was just over 9,000. that is an increase of more than 2,000 since 2017. even though the county committed more than $200 million toward housing developments, they say the number of homeless is outpacing the county'sest to find people a place to live. now, we are expecting more homeless data in the coming weeks. we know contra costa data to release monday. reporting live, pete suratos for "today in the bay" >> all right. pete, thank you. 6:05. we are learning more about the person killed while riding a bicycle on highway 24 in oakland earlier this week. that crash shut down lanes during the afternoon commute on wednesday. chp saying 83-year-old rode out
