supporting those mothers. protesters or supporters i should call them out there this morning forcing their concerns about what is happening. but a court order told those mothers they have to be out of that home within a -- within five business days. that day is today. and it happened about 30 minutes ago. >> it is 6:00 now. thank you for joining us. we're staying on this on "today in the bay." breaking news. we've been following this for quite sometime. these women, two mothers working mothers who felt like they had nowhere to go. so they went into a vacant home in oakland that was actually owned by wedgewood llc and they've been living there for quite sometime. a judge's order went through on friday giving the women five days to completely vacate that home and the wedgewood llc offered to give two months of housing, i believe.

for the women, for free to give them somewhere to go. these are the protesters outside of the home right now. we saw alameda county sheriff's deputies go up to the door. they tried to knock and tried to get the women out of the door. they had equipment with them. there is armored gear there. and a truck there as well. like a ramming rod. it didn't seem that violent that they were able to have to use any of that equipment. the women eventually opened the door. we saw a gentleman come out -- >> first -- >> -- and then the two women. the whereabouts of the children is unknown. >> they said they had a plan in place when this should happen. they didn't express what the plan was but they did have a plan. right now you're looking at one of the supporters angry about the situation doing on right now, no doubt. >> right. this is just a side note that is happening right now. there have been the protesters out there and they're obviously

very angry as well. now we should add as well the other side of the story, a spokesperson for wedgewood llc said the company which purchased the home for roughly half a million dollars refused to negotiate until the moms leave. last friday the alameda county judge where where the moms were there illegally and they have five days to pack up things and go. wedgewood offered to pay catholic charity of the east bay enough money so the moms could get two months of temporary shelter as well. the mothers though themselves said it was insulting to offer two months of shelter and that was not the real solution. >> and it is a situation that has garnered support from people through croute t-- throughout t community but the law said they could not be in the home because they did not own the home. the owners waned the mothers out and a judge agreed telling the mothers they had five days to leave. right thousand you're looking at one of the supporters for the mothers that are speaking to armed guards there just to the

side of the home. when they did escort three people we saw in handcuffs out of the home it was without incident. it didn't seem as if they were resisting. from what we saw as they brought them outside of the home, we did see one mother try to return to the home but later leaving. this is something that we knew would happen any day this week and it happened this morning around 5:30 as the sheriff's department showed up there at that home in oakland asking the people to leave. >> let's go back to kris there at the scene. could you tell us what is going on at the house itself. i know this is erupted as a side note. >> reporter: yeah. this is along the side street. 30th street intersecting with magnolia street. the gentleman is frustrated with the alameda county sheriff and asked why they are here with ar-15 and armored tanks when

this is just moms with civil disobedience and civil protest and yelling at the deputies. the dupes have asked to talk with him and there is a woman trying to run interference so he doesn't put his hands on them. he said that if he -- he believes if he were to touch them, that they would shoot him on the spot. of course, very complicated situation here. this is happening down the street from the magnolia street house. we mentioned that you saw three people taken away in restraints. we saw more than that. we saw one with of the mothers who left, dominique walker. i don't know if she is under arrest but she's now outside of the perimeter of the home. we don't know what -- where the children are. she said she had a plan for the children but we don't know what it is. so i'm out here again -- >> kris, you could still see the house itself.

this looks like it was around the corner. >> reporter: no. this is around the corner. this is around the corner. so -- >> i'm concerned about the kids. >> we could take you back to the the house. >> do you want to go back to the house? >> yes. >> reporter: this is how close they are but the gentleman is not putting his hands on the officers or the officers. he has reached out and touched the armored vehicles but this is a lot of fire power and a lot of heavy machinery for an eviction notice. we know this has escalated so a lot of folks out here documenting right now. the house is a quarter of a block that way and to the left. >> it just seemed like all of the attention all of a sudden turned there. so i'm wondering about the children. >> reporter: and we could take you back out here. we are working to see that -- we could hear the choppers overhead as well. so we know that the choppers are here and about to shine a light down this way. trying to break up that other

protest on the other side. so here we are back at magnolia street. there was one person arrested and a couple people taken away from restraints, hands behind their back. so the officers are still inside of that house. as far as we could tell and we did step away for a minute. >> it looks hike most of the activity moved down the street there. no more officers at the front door, at the porch? >> reporter: there are officers on the street. they have now moved the tape back so we're a little -- a little farther back and there was the pause in the attention and so they were able to move the tape. we're on the outside of the perimeter. helicopters overhead. you could hear them now. >> do we know if everyone is out of the home? >> reporter: we do expect -- i don't know. if you look at the house, you could see there is another deputy that is just emerged from the home.

he was there from the outset as the door was forced open. >> their exiting the house there. kris, we'll let you gather a little bit more information and find the whereabouts the children, if they were handed over to cps and if the home is vacant and get more information on the breaking news happening right now in oakland. we'll continue to monitor everything going on there and we'll check back in with kris sanchez in just a moment. 6:07 right now. we want to continue with the morning here on "today in the bay." and meteorologist kari hall has been tracking what we've been seeing, the rain coming back to our area this morning. wet roads out there for us, kari. so how long are we skpeking t-- this rain to stick around. >> for a little while longer but the trend will be for the rain to move out. we have the doppler radar scanning the bay area and rain over parts of the east bay. as you get ready to head out of the door, we've seen the rain

moving from walnut creek on toward the east and also seen rain on the dumbarton and san mateo bridge and that will cause a slick commute this morning. as this energy pushes off toward the east and out of the bay area, we'll get clearing. right now live look at san mateo bridge once again very wet and there may be some puddles still left over. as we go into the rest of the day, there will be a mix of sun and clouds and then tracking a bigger storm system that sets to arrive first in the north bay late tomorrow evening and then coming through the rest of the bay area into thursday morning. so we'll talk more about that and what is ahead as we head into the weekend coming up. and mike is also tracking the rain and the commute. >> we'll talk you back to the san mateo bridge shot where westbound, the arrow is in a service lane where i saw vehicles, one was caltrans and blocking one lane and flashing lights moving folks over and then in the back-up there may have been an incident and a tow truck headed over there and laneses are clear and signaling but no steady flashlights and

that slows down a bit. and it is near the dumbarton bridge and that is an issue crossing the bay. overall the speed sensors are looking good for 6:09 on a tuesday and the continued slowing around the ge plant and may still be a distraction and off the metering lights and on the upper east shore. back to you. >> thank you, mike. we have braeaking news on this tuesday morning. and a lot of act in san jose. we'll take you there live in just moments. >> nbc bay area proudly presents -- >> i'm going to make the world better. >> a new season of the critically acclaimed docuseries revealing the untold stories -- >> i always played those games

they said they will stay in the home but a court order came through on last friday ordering the mothers to leave out of the home and today is the day. this all happened around 5:30 this morning. as the sheriff's arrived escorting the mothers and others inside of the home out. many supporters still there at the scene. they've been there throughout the night and they were there as this all unfolded before our eye this is morning. >> that is right. these are live pictures from the scene as well. there were several protesters there lock ted in arms but didn get in the way of the sheriff's deputies as they made their way through. on the side street over here, there has been an armored vehicle that was there and the protesters have been shouting at some of the deputies that are standing there at the scene and we continue to monitor what is going on there. reporter kris sanchez is at the scene gathering more information because we want to know more about the whereabouts of the children in the house. >> and that is one of the

mothers you see there to the right in the sweater with the glasses. that is one of the mothers. kris has been speaking with her and find out more in a bit but kris sanchez is out there live. >> so she wasn't detained or taken away. we'll continue to monitor that. active night out there. 6:14 right now. law enforcement has been clogging a san jose street overnight after a chase. >> bob redell is live in the neighborhood. and bob, do we know exactly what happ happened here. >> reporter: chp monterey division is handling the case and we reached out waiting to hear back. we believe it started in the hollister-gilroy area and we're off slauson hill road. this is what it looked like a couple of hours ago earlier this morning. where you had a large contingent and several officers with chp and san jose police who swarmed

the intersection at velasco driver. one officer with his k-9 out and not clear if he was using the dog to look for a possible suspect. and a second sentence with a smaller police presence. we have an idea perhaps a more detail of what might have happened but we need to confirm that before we report that to you. it is nur understanding that no law enforcement was hurt during this. live in south san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you. 6:15 now on tuesday morning. you may have noticed wet roadways and rain. clear for the morning commute. >>? it it is still sprinkling and as we track with storm ranger our mobile doppler radar on season bruno mountain picking up rain on the mountain. rain rolling out of brentwood and discovery bay and to the

south. and the rain on the dumbarton bridge. so if you are about to head out of the door, it is still going to be very wet. also some light rain from fremont over toward palo alto. but the main trend will be for all of this to move out and clear throughout the day. hit the lens in palo alto. as we look at highway 101. the trend through the day, a mix of sub an and clouds as we reacp to 56 in san jose. oakland reaching 55 and 55 in antioch as well as livermore. and so we're going to see the first wave of rain moving away from the bay area. and then tracking the next developing storm system that looks stronger than the previous several storms we've had recently. throughout the day, partly sunny skies and for tonight a few more clouds moving in. tomorrow during the afternoon, it looks mostly cloudy. an then rain first making it

into the north bay. also a colder storm so we're seeing the arrival of some snow on some of the bay area peaks above 3500 feet, up to about 4,000 feet and leading rain for the edge as this makes from the north bay into the south bay and widespread rain on thursday with cold temperatures and it gradually moves out on friday morning. looking at rainfall totals that may be from about three quarters of an inch to over an inch of rain for some of the coastal areas and the north bay. for the sierra. we're going to see a winter storm warning going up. and thoerj tanother two to thref snow possible before the snowstorm system comes out of the bay area and moved toward the either. so a mime row climate weather alert likely on thursday due to the high wind and rain and into friday it is all moving out of here. friday a chance of rain but very weak but sunday clearing out and warming up.

mike is traching the rain looking at the bay area. we've seen no problems. slick roadways and leftover from the rain here in oakland. more rain hitting the san mateo and the dumbarton bridges some slowing and a couple of incidents causing one lane to be blocked. but the plat section moves slower but smoothly toward the peninsula side. clearing up toward the high-rise and dumbarton bridge not showing a lot of traffic but volume building out of hayward. past an earlier crash up toward about 680, 280 interchange. and the skr and the santa cruz mountains, and northbound side one lane blocked and this is about the third crash involving a car that spun out over the course of the morning. there are slick roadways even if it is not actively raining. and kari showed you the camera and water droplets on the lens

and northbound 101 and smooth along the peninsula. that number is wrong. there is 40 trains for b.a.r.t. but to no delays. and out of the altamont pass, no slowing but 880 slow past the ge plant on the shoulder. coming up, on "today in the bay," the rain must go on rain or shine or even a volcano. nothing getting in the way of a couple. more on the viral wedding next. and a live look here. this is where the mothers have been escorted out of that home in oakland. police there are standing up. at least one of the mothers have been escorted out of the home. of course we'll continue to stay on the story live. kris will have more coming up at 6:30. you're watching "today in the bay."

6:22 right now. and nbc bay area responds to a petaluma couple with a whopping water bill. >> they asked chris chmura and his team for help for the unexplained charge. >> reporter: good morning. carol said their typical water bill was $150 a month and imagine the bill for $960. look at this chart. it showed the sudden spike. here are the months before the spike and then the spike and

then afterwards. the eaglesons said that never happened before and hasn't since. so they contacted the city. it sent a technician to look for leaks but he didn't find anything. the couple eventually paid that $960 balance but something just didn't sit right. so they turned to us for help. we reached out to the city of petaluma. a manager agreed to review the-year-old case and credited them with $353 billiecause it it clear what happened. they were glad to reach a compromise. if you're getting soaks maybe we could help. visit nbcbayarea.com/responds or give us a call at 888-996-tips. new video to show you. way too close for comfort or a lot of people. a man who had just dropped his daughter off at school took this video yesterday morning. you see a train narrowly moving past a school bus. this happened at a railroad

crossing in lodi. the driver tried to put the bus in reverse but couldn't do so before the train came whizzing by. the district is not commenting. but said it will look into what happened. this morning scientists in australia warning that wildfires could become a routine problem due to climate change. >> this comes with 180 fires burning across the continent. 28 people have died and there is widespread rain in the forecast for tomorrow. they are hoping that will help firefighters on the front lines. out of the flames. one photo going viral. look at this australian voluntarily firefighter. bo haines finished working a 20 hour shift and his baby spencer was born on christmas shortly after he left to fight the fires. he was able to be there for the birth but didn't have a chance to take a professional photo with his newborn baby. that will make up for it. >> absolutely. we have something else to show you. new video of a couple getting married in the philippines and

it is going viral. this is taken over the weekend at the time a volcano was starting to erupt. they exchanged clouds under smoke and ash. since that time tens of thousands of bem have been evacuated from the area. 6:25 right now. we continue to monitor breaking news out of oakland. the mothers who have occupied a vac ae vacent home removed from the alameda count sheriff's office. this is one of the women removed this morning. we'll have an update in just moments. as we actually witness everything that was going on. these are the mothers as they were leaving the home this morning. we'll have an update of everything going on tonight. we're watching "today in the bay."

breaking news, a dramatic morning in oakland. alameda county sheriff's deputies removing mothers illegally occupying a home in oakland. they're removed by court order. and it has been a busy morning there. we'll bring you the live breaking news all morning long. "today in the bay" kris sanchez has been there out there as this began at 5:30 this morning.

give us an update. >> reporter: supporters of the moms for housing have mobilized and you see out here in huge numbers outside of the perimeter and the home on magnolia street. two moms were taken out in restraints. we don't know they're under arrest but they did get the order to come to the door or risk arrest. so those two have been removed. we have one other mother who appeared to be going -- trying to get into the house. and was not able to get into the house. i asked her where the children were and she did not answer. however, two of the other mothers knew this would happen and they did make a plan for the children and that the children are safe. all of the protesters now are yelling at the alameda county sheriff's deputies and yelling "shame" and asking why they are doing this and when it is just about mothers and houses and what they say are civil rights. i did overhear one sheriff's deputy saying they were going to use the bear cat to clear 30th street which is the street where that other altercation happened.

there was a man who was yelling at the sheriff's deputies as they were standing there asking why they were here with ak-47s and with armored military vehicles if this is a peaceful protest. you could see it is a smooth situation. the spokesperson for the alameda county sheriff's department is out here and we tried to get information and he said this is not the good time or right time but by our estimate three people were take and way in restraints. one of them we believe was arrested for sure. we don't know about the others. we do know the mothers are now out of the house and by their accounts the children are safe and they are accounted for. you see though that the sheriff's deputies are still on the porch of the house. 2928 magnolia street. and the eviction notice has been served. they did have to shop the door open and break the door open to go inside and bring them out. so we'll continue to be out here with the supporters. and try to gather more information. as soon as the alameda county

sheriff's department could give us something concrete we'll bring it to you. >> it looks like a big crowd out there. were most of the people there prior to, chris. i know it is hard to hear. >> reporter: they were planning on being here every day up until the eviction from 6:00 in the morning until 6:00 in the evening linking arms for a be-- barrier between the sheriff's department and those inside and they've been here since 6:00 and they have been active on social media. last might melissa colorado did get a message that the deputies would show up last night and they triggered and mobilized all of the supporters to try to show up here. we believe that is likely what happened this morning because they did show up in very large numbers and a lot of folks who are very frustrated by how this whole situation is playing out out here. but a lot of really heavy machinery out here. not just the sheriff's deputies,

a large presence of deputies. we have the helicopters overhead so we do know that we are being watched from the sky and the gathering here is being monitored by law enforcement in that way as well. >> and kris, have they talked about what will happen with protests. will the remain there because the mother are now out. >> reporter: we don't know. we don't know what will happen after this or how long they'll stick around out here. but we do know that it doesn't look like they'll leave any time soon. i could hear more helicopters and i could see more sheriffs vehicles that are moving around trying to clear some of the roadway. the road by the way is blocked off. the perimeter was pushed out so our live truck is in side of the perimeter. this is magnolia street and at 30th street. it is blocked from 30th street down to the end of the block. so it is a short block but it is still the entire block and we

know this is a residential street and all of the protests happening at 6:00 in the morning yesterday, they were so quiet and this is not that. it is not quiet. these are very frustrated -- >> you could understand. and since we came to you when they started coming out there, the alameda sheriff's deputies, it looks like the crowd has grown and you are sandwiched in there. is it hard for our cameras to even see what you're seeing beyond that row of people? >> reporter: it is hard difficult because they are very trained on showing support and they don't care that we're here really. they're documenting for themselves. you'll likely see a lot of their videos on social media. but definitely they want to make sure they are decrying the police actions and showing support for the mothers saying that even though a judge declared they were illegally squatting in the house, this is

really about civil rights and housing for all. >> very interesting. because they've been saying now they want to start a movement across the country as well. so we'll continue to follow that. kris sanchez live at scene where the breaking news that we've been following all morning long. the women who have occupied a home illegally there in oakland, they've essentially been squatting there since about mid move forcibly removed from the home and they went into the home and removed the women. we have learned that the children, it sounds like they made arrangements for them prior to this which is good because this could be very traumatic for a child so that is good news to know that those children -- according to the mothers the children are in a safe place this morning. >> we'll continue to follow the story throughout the morning. kris sanchez is live out there giving us the latest updates. we'll come back to her later in

the show. now we want to get to the weather. starting out wet. >> light rain moving through the bay area. so as you head out for work or school, still water falling from the sky. in a few areas. but a lot of it still left on the roads. as we take a look at the rain from sunnyvale through the dumbarton bridge toward milpitas and south of fremont and then into the rest of the day, this will start to move off toward the east. we'll get breaks in the clouds and that is a live look in san jose where we'll get a mix of sun and clouds today and temperatures going from the low 40s into the mid-50s today. a look at a big storm system heading our way. and mike, san jose recovering from a crash. and that is great news because it is 6:35. we expect the silicon valley commute to stick in for san jose. not so bad. avoiding the back toward tully and capital expressway and more folks on 87 and that is what

we're seeing between capital and kurtner. the rest of silicon valley just fine but the rain coming through the area meaning more slick roadways, 880 building and so does 680 and 84 past the ge plant both directions and the crash on the shoulder are fence damage will be a distraction and the upper east shore just show the build. back to you. >> thanks, mike. coming up on "today in the bay," following stories to help the homeless. a live report on the overnight parking program getting the green light on the peninsula. america isn't just sick of donald trump, america's getting sicker. there are one million more uninsured americans every year under trump. and he's repeatedly tried to repeal obamacare. mike bloomberg will make sure everyone without

new for you this morning, another peninsula city will start enforcing new rules when it comes to overnight parking. >> and it is part of a much larger issue that is affecting cities across the bay area. "today in the bay" pete suratos joins us live with with the details. >> reporter: good morning to you. you have the palo alto city council voting unanimously for what they're calling a safe parking program. they're hoping it could be part of the solution to deal with the city's growing homeless population and an issue we're seeing bay area and statewide at this point. but the program is just a pilot program at this point with palo alto. it is going to start with four parking locations at participating church parking lots for folks living out of their cars before moving to private, commercial and city owned lots. similar to other state parking

programs along the peninsula, the city of palo alto wants to connect people with case management services to get folks into permanent housing. this is addressing the homelessness across the bay area and we have gavin newsom proposing a $1 billion to tackle this problem. with more shelters, services and in some cases emergency housing. now here is the governor discussing the issue as he tours some of the hardest hit homeless areas across the state. >> homelessness is the number one issue in the state of california, issues of affordability and housing. >> then advisory council aoibted by the governor wanted a mandate to end homelessness and the governor has yet to adopt that recommendation. but it is expected to tour homeless areas in the bay area this week. pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> thank you. 6:40 now.

coming up next on "today in the bay," we continue to follow breaking news in oakland. a group of mothers remove ready from a home they were illegally occupying. a live report in just moments. >> looking like we have a date on president trump's impeachment trial. out to the big board as well. dow industrials up mildly. we think that u.s. and china will sign a deal tomorrow. you're watching "today in the bay."

this is the denny's super slam. two bacon, two sausage, two eggs hash browns and pancakes and now make those pancakes all you can eat for a buck. that's where the duper comes in. the all new super duper slam just seven ninety nine. see you at denny's.

6:43, breaking news. we continue to follow a dramatic morning in oakland where deputies went in to remove mothers illegally living in a vacant home for months. the group has been fighting an eviction order. >> and it is a busy morning out there. we've been bringing you live breaking news all morning long. kris sanchez is live with the latest. kris? >> reporter: good morning to you both. i wan to you listen to how quiet it is out here. a lot of protesters have shown up. i would say hundreds of them at this point. it is a very quiet protest. and on the other side of the crime scene tape you'll see that the officers who were lining the perimeter have been replaced by people who deputies who are now in riot gear. we did hear a deputy say earlier they were going to use the bear cat to try to clear the road on magnolia street and that is the situation. one gentleman is continuing to talk, the one who was shouting

at the deputies down the street earlier this morning. but again, a very quiet protest so far this morning. they are cheering now. but a lot of it has been very quiet. the deputies are still here. we did see some of them going into the home on magnolia street with a giant piece of of plywood. we expect that had be used to barricade the door on the other side of the house. they did have to break in the door in order to gain access. and you see them now taking in more plywood into the home so we don't know if perhaps there is more than one egress point at this point. everybody is out. we counted at least three people in restraints. two of them were some of the moms that were for moms 4 housing and one was trying to go inside of the house and escorted back outside of the perimeter and i asked where her children are and they didn't answer and

they did make a plan for the children because they knew this would happen. the judge ordered them out. and told the alameda county sheriff's deputies to serve that eviction within five business days so they had until friday a and it this morning. deputies arrived about 5:30 this morning and poured out of several vehicles and went into the home. knocked several times as is the protocol to announce why they were here and to order everybody inside of the house to come toward the front door or risk arrest. we do know that at least two men were taken out in restraints so we think they were inside of the house with the family as well. >> we'll continue to stay out here with with you and bring you more information. but again in a bit of tense situation as the deputies have donned riot gear and the numbers continue to grow. back to you. >> kris, thank you. 6:46 now. and decision 2020 and the presidential race.

a new california poll shows that no one candidate is dominating the contest in the golden state. it shows bernie sanders leading with 27% support among voters. former vice president joe biden and senator elizabeth warren follow closely behind. >> the president will see sanders and five others of his challenges fight it out in a debate tonight. >> and scott mcgrew, the field is getting smaller. >> it is. cory booker dropped out yesterday. remember there are 12 democratic candidates still in the race but only half of them have qualified for tonight's debate. buttigieg, biden, warren, klobuchar and steyer. that didn't on cnn tonight. president trump has changed the explanation for the attack on qassem soleimani. claiming it was imminent from the iranian and that is why we hit with the drone strike and now saying soleimani's past just fied the drone strike tweeting

out it doesn't matter that the general's past was horrible and backed up by bill barr who said the idea of the imminent attack was a red herring. we thought nancy pelosi would deliver the articles of impeachment to the senate today but it will be wednesday or thursday. whether there will be witnesses is an open question. president trump does not want witnesses. now as we're talking about the impeachment, let's go back to the debate graphic. a trial could not start tomorrow anyway. three jurors are senators and they're in iowa for the debates. and indeed they will be off the campaign trail here, here, here for the length of the trial. we now think trump's trial could start on tuesday the 21st. we're watching everything that is happening in washington. ands know you could follow me on twitter at scott mcgrew. >> thanks, scott. 6:48. weather and traffic together. wet roadways out there.

proceed with caution. how long will the rain stick around. >> just for a little while longer. it is moving out of the bay bridge and across bay with a tenth of an inch of rain. and some of the rain that we're tracking with our storm ranger mobile doppler radar moving into san francisco, as well as san jose, so some of the main areas dealing with some rain right now. especially from milpitas toward santa clara. we could see where stroerm -- storm ranger showing where the rain is following because we widen out the view to show the large system moving snow across the sierra and also rain to the north but we'll get drier air and then turn our attention to the next storm system developing in the southern gulf of alaska that will be much stronger than what we're seeing right now. so throughout the day, just a couple of spotty showers, especially farther to the north. the rest getting sunshine. and then by tomorrow clouds move in as the next storm system

approaches. the rain moves into the north bay early on thursday morning at 4:00 in the morning and notice the colors. the gene indicating light rain and the rain will be heavy in red and then transition over to snow as you look at the bay area peaks elevates above 3500 feet and could have some very heavy snow coming down. all of this rushes south into the rest of the bay area during that thursday morning commute. and then rounds of rain as we go throughout the day on thursday before it gradually tapers off on friday morning. so pretty much a whole day of some rain here. so it will add up with with the potential of three quarters of an inch of rain to over an inch in some spots, part of the east bay and upper elevations and the north bay. if you're traveling to the sierra, it is not going to be good travel conditions. after the next 24 hours the heavy snow starts to come down. we're looking at at least two

feet of snow around a lot of the resorts and it is good news that we're going to see heavy snow but not good if you're traveling either to or from the sierra. we're looking at some of the wet weather coming in all day on thursday but drying out on friday. saturday there will be a weak storm system coming in and looks like it would fizzle out and then warmer and drier weather for next week. mike, you're saying the roads will be slick for drivers. we could see that on our live camera over here in palo alto. now the drops dries off the lens and the northbound 101 toward university and the sheen on the roadway so there are slick conditions but mostly i'm worried about the off-ramp and the curves. we have green building in. for tuesday this is a later build. 6:51 now with with the commute starting to build but north 17 and this is about the third crash i've seen at near the summit road area with with a crash involving one car left

sideways blocking one lane. that is the situation over and over since about 3:30 this morning. over here north 101 recovering from the crash at tully. still slow past capital, to kerner on 87 and 85 with a tip wal build like 101. so pushing into silicon valley. and walnut creek interchange and the bay bridge is fine with the back-up and the metering lights but the san mateo bridge slowing across the flat section and maybe some fresh rain. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 6:52. and happening now. developing story in china. a search for survivors going on right now after a sinkhole swallowed a bus and pedestrians. at least six people died. ten others missing. surveillance video showing a bus stop and running from the collapsing road. the bus could be seen standing almost vertically. you could make it out there. it sunk half way into the ground. it is not clear why the ground gave way. >> and next on "today in the bay," a quick look at top

stories including the breaking news. we're live in oakland once again where deputies forcing out the mothers who illegally were living in a vacant home. we're live on the scene and take you there live right after the break. you're watching "today in the bay."

welcome back. before you head out of the door, it is 6:55.

the top stories on "today in the bay bay.". >> breaking news. a dam attic morn where deputies went in to remove mothers living in a vacant home. >> a busy morning out there. and we've been out there live since this started at around 5:30. kris sanchez is there for us now to get us up to speed on the latest. kris? >> reporter: hi there. first i want to show you that the deputies now who are manning the perimeter, they are wearing riot gear at this poiinpoint. p this point. they are using plywood to board up the windows and doors inside of 2928 magnolia street, the house taken over by the moms back on november 18th. so it is a very long time. the moms say they did know this would happen and did make plans for the children and they are safe. one of the moms is still milling about among the crowd of supporters and i asked where her children were and she did not answer and asked what is next

and at this point if anybody knows what is next. they're not saying. we do know this was an eviction order that was ordered by a judge on friday saying that the women had no legal basis to remain in the home that is owned by southern california developer. the community wanted the developer to sell that property to the oakland housing trust so that it could be used for affordable housing, that does not appear to be in the works at this point, the developer wanted to rehab the house essentially using employment and at-risk youth to do the renovation. but rebecca caplan said if you use any documentation or business permits as evidence, there is no proof that is a plan that is actually in motion. you hear the crowd now and they are chanting mothers and babies. at this point you could hear them.

[ crowd chanting ] >> reporter: we don't know how long they'll be out here. but there are quite a number of people. this is again magnolia street and 30th. and this is where the officers do remain this morning. there was a bit of a scuffle down on the 30th street as one man was asking the deputies why they showed up with so much heavy machinery. the bear cat and the armored milt vehicles and military style vehicles and ak-47s but other than that people have been chanting "shame on you" to the officers and asks them why they are doing this. the mothers though have been removed. we saw at least three people removed in restraints, including two of the mothers that came out earlier this morning. we don't know if they were properly arrested or if they were just restrained and then released. so the spokesperson for the alameda county sheriff's department is out here this morning. wi we asked for more information and he said not right now and needs to get facts together and

we'll remain out here as long as the folks are out here this morning. but this is the scene. light rain starting to fall now so definitely an interesting morning out here on magnolia street. we'll remain out here for you. we'll post on to our social media platforms and on nbcbayarea.com if there have any major developments and we'll send it back to you. >> we also have a live news break cut-in at 7:25 so we'll check back in then. right now we want to get a last look at the forecast. >> mostly light rain this morning clearing out throughout today. temperatures reaching into the mid-50s and a bigger storm system move coming up on thursday. >> in the tri-valley, a crash at westbound 84 around the ge plant and a distraction blocking 680 slow and wet roadways so be careful. the santa cruz mountains, crashes at the summit. >> have to be careful on 17. that is what is happening for
