the next half hour. meanwhile, after days of hinting he would use an executive action to enter a question about citizenship on the upcoming census, president trump is using a new approach. instead, he's ordering federal agencies to use already existing data to gather that information. "today in the bay's" sarah dallof is in washington on how this new tactic is working. sarah. >> good morning, marcus. the president calling off the fight that saw the census turned into a political weapon. president trump backing off his bid to put a citizenship question on the 2020 census. >> the case is already in three federal district courts that have been, to be totally honest, extremely unfriendly to us. >> reporter: instead issuing an executive order for federal agencies to compile citizenship

5:04 am

5:05 am
bart selby from san carlos a long with a friend on board this plane yesterday afternoon, the san mateo county sheriff's office then issued a warning to people that there was a great white shark spotted in half moon bay, and talking to the locals here, they say that you don't hear about it that much anymore, although you do from time to time see damage on fish or other creatures like elephant seals. they say when they were kids they used to see more great white sharks around half moon bay back in the '80s and '90s and see the elephant seals with their heads bitten off but to hear about something like this and to see these pictures really harkens back to that time, and it's really unusual and it can be a dangerous situation especially for surfers. you can bet they'll be talking about it here at maverick surf shop today. back to you guys. >> we'll talk about it here far from the water's edge, too. thank you very much, thom.

5:10 am
this to stay as a tropical storm over the next couplef days. we are not focusing so much on the intensity but the amount of rainfall that this slow-moving tropical system will dump on some areas, including lafayette and over toward the east over new orleans, and of course as we just mentioned the water levels are already very high, so this could cause a lot of problems aside from those high wind speeds going into tonight, as well as throughout the day tomorrow, as it slowly tracks off to the north. as we bring it back home, we take a live look outside in san jose, with the cloudy start. sunnyvale will have some warmer temperatures today, and normally we're at about 82 degrees. i think we're going to go slightly above that, as we go into this afternoon. i'll have more on that and the weekend forecast. mike, you're checking on something in the tri-valley. >> that's right, kari. we got a report and a clear report right now, where the roadways are showing great sensors, you see all the green here. we're going over here toward 680 southbound, right around sheridan, that little blip of
