starts to make its way into the north bay later on this evening. we're going to start to see that rain in parts of the north bay from santa rosa down to san rafael and napa by about 8:00 tonight. and then going into the day tomorrow we're going to start out with some rain off and on showers. there will be some breaks in this, as well. most of that rain will be out of here by tomorrow afternoon. and then another wave of rain moving in early thursday morning. so, with all of the rain off and on, we're only looking at about a quarter to half inch of rain for the north bay and then for the rest of the bay area, very light amounts for san jose. up to about a quarter of an inch for the east bay and close to half an inch in san francisco. going into the weekend, we'll see another chance of rain. once again, that also looks like a weak system. but may impact your weekend plans. but the good news is that all of this clears out for the football games on sunday. we're looking really nice inland reaching the upper 50s. and then for san francisco, we

also have some mid to upper 50s. heading over to mike, you're tracking the problem on the bay bridge. >> that's right, kari. we're looking at the span here with our video input set to the bay bridge temorivle. ut closely packed up the incline. these are a little slow getting towards that tunnel at treasure island and somewhere near the onramp reports of that disabled vehicle still blocking the slow lane and chp updated their report. even though we don't have a tow truck on scene we get an update from folks a vehicle stuck in the right side there and that is problem getting over from the oakland side. the metering lights are turned on and the approach is great but across the span, let's time it out with our friends over at waze. traffic flow through the area and 45, 47 minutes as we will

the first thing framers had in mind when they wrote high crimes and misdemeanors. abuse of office, itself, technically not a crime. during robert mueller's testimony, remember, he reminded the world the policy said you can't charge a president in a criminal court. and for that reason, did not specifically level charges at the president writing, we did not reach a determination whether the president committed a crime in that probe. he added, he could be charged with a crime after leaving office. no news as big as impeachment today, but we want to talk about the reaction to the fbi inspector general's report that clears the fbi of political bias in its investigation into the connection between trump campaign and russia. while it did find irregularities, the report that was ordered by attorney general bill barr gave the seal of

approval to the investigation. president trump reacting to the report sounded like he had read a different report. >> it's a disgrace what has happened with respect to the things that were done to our country. it should never, again, happen to another president. it is incredible. far worse than i would have ever thought possible. and it's an embarrassment to our country. it's dishonest. it's everything that a lot of people thought it would be, except far worse. >> president trump will meet with foreign russia minister labrov. the day after the president fired the fbi director. today's meeting closed to the american press as was this previous meeting. the russians surprised the white house when they released this picture. nbc bay area will bring you a special report at 6:00 a.m. or there abouts as congress, we think, will announce articles of impeachment. of course, i'll be tweeting

on the table and the message, let it snow. it was sold on the walmart canada website and it refers to exactly what you're thinking it refers to. the product description specifically mentions grade a colom be colom been snow p. it is sold by a third party and does not represent the company's values. sometimes you need to check. >> i think they do it for the buzz, i really do. >> don't sell it in stores. >> no. all right. we're not talking snow and we're not talking rain and we're not even talking a lot of fog this morning. >> we're not seeing it over the central valley, which is what we'll talk about this morning. some drifting in but not as thick for the bay area as it was yesterday. but there is a dense fog advisory in effect for the central valley and what we call and the reason why we see that,

it happens after the first significant rainfalls of the season and we have a lot of humidity here. once those skies clear and temperatures cool off, we get that fog settling into the central valley. we're seeing that right now. so, we're going to watch that. kind of drift into parts of the bay area. we really saw that yesterday. but what you need is that high mew humidity and reduce less than 600 feet and if we don't get a good wind there to mix it out, it could last for days in the central valley. for the bay area, that fog starts to drift into the gap so we see it coming into parts of the south county through those mountains and then it also moves in to the trivalley. we saw that dense fog yesterday around livermore, as well as moving over towards oakland, as well. news through the carquinez straight and then over to san francisco and then also into the north bay. so, we are not seeing as much of that because of the cloud cover out ahead of this next storm system.

it will bring us some rain and moves in late tonight and for tomorrow. for saturday, we'll see another round of rain coming in. as we take it hour by hour, we'll see peeks of sunshine today and then the rain moving into the north bay later this evening. but we'll see some waves of mostly light rain between late tonight and throughout the day tomorrow. there will be a break by tomorrow evening and then some more spotty showers heading into early on thursday. and most of this rain is looking like about a quarter inch of rain or less except for the north bay. so, our seven-day forecast shows that rain coming in and drying out on friday. another system coming in on saturday. that one also looks pretty weak and drying out for the football games on sunday. mike, do you have better news for the sf commute? >> i do. all relative. this is the bay bridge toll plaza. i know it is backed up. folks don't understand when you do start to see movement and you didn't 20 minutes ago, that is better for the fast track lanes and it does indicate a lighter

volume of traffic and comes in out of co i orcontra costa coun. not too bad as you're traveling into san francisco. in san francisco, better news, as well. we have judah just cleared and tom jensen told me that from the scene. the police activity clear and still 40 minutes the build there and if you don't leave over the next 15 to 20 minutes it will wi build over an hour drive. keep that in mind. waze times that out and a peninsula in the south bay and even the east bay look great. back to you. >> thanks, mike. happening now six people are dead shooting at aos police say that gunman killed himself as officers approached his car. that shootingned this morning in a waiting room in. security has been increased across the country. a motive has not yet been

released. two peninsula cities are looking to ramp up water with a new $20 million facility. coming up next, what that water could be used for where you live. plus, high taxes are sending a lot of pot buyers back to the black market. coming up, the bay area city now poised to reverse the tax in order to boost sales. and a buzzer beater getting a lot of people buzzing this morning. you don't want to miss this shot. it's coming up next. so, as you can see, saving can be quite simple.

rosa neighborhood but it was part of a sting. any work over $500 requires a licensed contractor. so, are pot taxes too high? some communities wondering about that and local leaders think that they are and they are meeting today to lower them. pot retailers a 10% tax on top of the state's 15% tax, which often gets passed on to the buyer. oakland has some of the highest pot taxes in the state, which some city leaders say puts them at a disadvantage and gets buyers to go back to buying on the street. happening today, a new water recycling plant may move one step closer to reality. santa clara valley water district is expected to vote on the plan later today. the purification facility would be build in mountain view and serve palo alto, as well. graduate students at uc santa cruz are hitting the picket lines.
