the door, a lot of clear skies and mild temperatures compared to yesterday. we're at 45 degrees in napa and in concord. 46 in palo alto and san jose. and we're going to see it warming up. mountain view temperature trend twos from the mid-40s to the low 70s by this afternoon. we'll talk about that and how warm we get. that is coming up in the full microclimate forecast. but mike is seeing a big delay in the tri-valley. >> lasting for a while. there has been a crash on the three right lanes blocked westbound past our camera around tasahara and continues toward near the b.a.r.t. station and dublin pleasanton. just got word from the chp within the next minutes they should have all lanes reopened and may have opened one more because traffic is starting to move a little better on the live camera. the speed sensors may take a while to catch up and this may impede the folks out of livermore but the rest of the tri-valley should show

improvement over the next few. the rest of the bay is lighter than expected except for the toll plaza, which is standard. back to you. new this morning, a chaotic scene in san francisco that police say started with a hit-and-run and then ended with suspects eventually striking a patrol car. >> "today in the bay's" pete suratos is live when this all went down on twin peaks and what are you finding out from police? >> reporter: well, we know that it involved multiple scenes as you mentioned. but it did end here in the twin peaks area. it started overnight but there are still a scene with tape up. it is down that hill and it may be hard to make out but that is where the suspect behind that wheel hit that patrol car when this all ended in this area. want to show you some video of the scenes. here is what we know at this hour. san francisco police saying they got a call around 9:30 p.m. of a white suv, that car we just showed you, driving recklessly in the haight ashbury area of san francisco. the people in the car were

yelling and making threatening statements towards homeless people in that area before eventually driving on the sidewalk and hitting two homeless individuals. the injuries to the individuals are nonlife-threatening and they're getting treatment at san francisco general. and while they were trying to get away, the drivers -- the driver also struck a building in that area. and then it was about 10 minutes later that police get a call about shots being fired this this twin peaks area just off of crown terrace and here is what unfolded next. >> while they were driving on the street here on crown terrace, they spotted a car coming toward them at a high rate of speed. the officers attempted to get out of the way but the car accelerated and made contact and struck the front of the patrol car. >> reporter: now as the suspects tried to quickly get oust of the car, police were able to catch them b and take them into custody and at that point they realized it was the same car from the hit-and-run incident in the haight ashbury area but there are no injuries to the

officers but the scene is still under investigation. live, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> thank you for that. now an all-out search for the driver of this truck. take a look at it right now. this is where investigators say that truck struck and killed a 12-year-old girl and then took off. this happened in san leandro. >> bob redell is live where it happened. how confident are authorities they'll be able to catch the person who did this? >> reporter: laura and marcus, chp tells terry mcsweeney they believe a rest -- an arrest could come at any time because they have nearby surveillance camera. i'll show you the images again. taking a look at the black ford pickup truck. we'll have a description of the suspect but first about what happened here yesterday afternoon in castro valley. collision happened behind me at the intersection of crow canyon and mantra road. a 12-year-old girl and her sister were in the crosswalk. they were on the way home from

school within eye sight of their home when the driver of the pickup turned left off manter and ran over the 12-year-old girl. chp said the surveillance video showed the crash. it also shows the driver stop, look back, and then immediately flee down crow canyon toward 580, this intersection is a problem according to people who live nearby. >> you are late for something and driving too fast and not paying attention and they don't know there are kids walking around. >> reporter: as you could see in the surveillance image, again, we're putting it up on your tv screen, the suspect vehicle is a black ford f-150 and the license number clearly visible and the driver is a man white or hispanic 25 to 35 years old. again chp is expressing confidence they'll find the suspect. live here in castro valley, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> sad story there.

but agree with the fed statement. >> if it is a safety issue, there is no question. sate is paramount. >> a long delayed construction project making anderson reservoir seismically safe is still set to break ground next year. the valley water district is looking at boosting water storage else with where and acquiring more water from the delta. now right now we want to check on the forecast for us. meteorologist kari hall will talk about this dam. it is important for this area. we don't realize how much water the reservoir contain and where we stand now after all of the rain last year, our reservoirs are are doing pretty well. we're seeing some of the largest reservoirs at from 64% lake oroville to 81% or 83% in trinity lake. we're seeing the lower levels in parts of southern california where now we're under a moderate drought. that is something we're watching as we go through several dry

months but now maybe is the time to get some retrofit and repairs done on our reservoirs and dams. and our temperatures today will reach into the mid-70s for the inland areas. upper 70s for the north bay. and san francisco today reaching 68 degrees. we'll talk about even warmer temperatures in the forecast. mike is saying that all lanes have cleared in dublin. they've cleared of the crash. but that doesn't mean 580 is clear. we have of course 5 80 but traffic is moving much better with about five minutes of recovery right here pasting tasahara. we see fewer folks bailing out there and the traffic flow moving better and the sensor starting to show improvement. the camera right about here where the slowest traffic is and the build out of livermore but by the time you get to the b.a.r.t. station you're back toward the speed limit. traffic flowing down 680 southbound and westbound 580 but everything else is looking great. back to you. >> let's hope it stays that way.
