welcome back. we have breaking news. the situation changed very quickly over here in the tri-valley, dublin going away from the interchange and toward the dublin grade, i just learned the entire westbound direction of 580 has been closed for a crash. it went quickly from a couple of vehicles and then a semi truck was mentioned and they said all lanes are blocked. i hope that means they just need to clear vehicles quickly so they can reinstate the commute. but right now you can't access 580 westbound and that may mean a bigger reroute. some folks may have to travel

toward 84. if you're coming from 24, you can take the roadway toward 580 and you may need a reroute if you're heading toward the dublin grade area. we'll follow this closely as it affects your morning commute and all drivers as they're driving through the area westbound on 580. eastbound on 580, we're talking about getting away from the area. this is a friday. a lot of folks may want to head toward all the snow we haven't been able to travel many weekends. this weekend we should be able to travel there but you're restricted to two or three lanes, depending on how much crew is out there at a given time. that will affect your afternoon commute. the rest of the bay moves smoothly, local lane closures. i talked about highway 9. there's traffic control right here on highway 1, one-way traffic control because of storm damage. and also here at 152 a couple of spots, so it cuts off the commute between watsonville and highway 101. i said the commute, but really what i mean is those that might

be heading down, if you're trying to get to watsonville, you may have an issue later in the day. >> thanks, mike. speaking of getting away, let's start in san rafael, we are kicking off this friday chilly around the bay area, especially in the north bay. i don't know if you can tell, the trees are kind of swaying back and forth. it's a little breezy, making those temperatures feel a little chillier. we're at 39 in santa rosa, 43 in redwood city. notice the darker colors of blue in the inland valleys. they're running in the upper 30s right now, but we are looking at 41 in dublin and morgan hill. santa rosa is going to take a dip as we go into 7:00, 8:00, before we see plenty of sunshine by your lunchtime hour. so that is to be enjoyed today, a break from the rain. as i was saying, a little breezy. as we go into the 6:00 hour this morning, gusts anywhere from about 25 miles at the coast, san francisco down into santa cruz, a little less as you make your way into the interior. it will continue like that for your lunchtime hour and into

your friday getaway forecast. make sure of that. you might see downed tree limbs and all of that blowing around in the wind as we are recovering from that storm. now, let's take it to your daytime highs because they are going to be chilly. 57 in san francisco, a little bit warmer as we make it inland, 59 in concord and in fairfield. and we have 57 for you in morgan hill. tomorrow, a little bit of the same. maybe a few degrees warmer. we have 60 in santa rosa, 60 in concord and 59 in san jose. so dry, chilly and breezy. a good opportunity to rewind, take it all in, but prepare for the next storm ahead. i think it's going to start in from the pacific northwest around monday night. so during the day on monday you still have time to prepare. we're looking at the storm to intensify in the overnight hours. early estimates are 2 inches plus. so with all of the rain

happening in the overnight hours, you might want to make sure you have evacuation routes in mind and all of the emergency supply kits you're going to need. enjoy this break from the rain and prepare for a storm to come in on tuesday. we will be under a microclimate weather alert, but you can count on us to make sure that you are ready to go. >> we will certainly be here, thank you so much. 4:50 right now. we are celebrating women's herstory. today we want to shine a light on a retired air force colonel whose not just for breaking barriers but for heroics. kim campbell rose to the top of what is considered a male-dominated industry. back in 2003 she was awarded the distinguished flying cross for successfully recovering her battle damaged airplane after an intense close air support mission in baghdad. this week actually marks the 20th anniversary of operation iraqi freedom, which she says has shaped her life and her career. >> i think what i remember most

and what i reflect on most is the men and women that i served with, my brothers and sisters that i served with and the hard times we went through, but also the camaraderie we shared together. >> a piece of that airplane is actually hanging in her office, but it will soon be on display at the smithsonian. she has this advice to offer to young women. >> i think my advice to young women, which is probably the same advice that i would give to young men, about becoming a pilot or going after your dreams, is that you have to work hard. you have to put in the effort to achieve those dreams. >> she'll be rewarded. kim retails her heroic story in her new book titled "flying in the face of fear". it's now available at local bookstores and on amazon. >> we want to highlight the work of an oakland restaurant owner making delicious meals, but also diversifying the industry and helping revolutionize employee safety. home room is known for its lavish mac and cheese recipes.

the owner has made it her mission to employ mostly women and hire people of color for leadership positions. she's also created a color-coded manual to protect staff against harassment by customers. yellow means staff are getting a bad feeling, orange means inappropriate comments have been made, prompting the manager to step in, and red signals things have crossed the line and that customer is asked to leave. >> what's cool is it's actually really curbed harassment because most people don't just walk in and touch someone inappropriately. they walk in, start checking someone out, they make low-level comments and it escalates. this just changes the power structure before that happens. >> the method has been adopted by the equal employment opportunity commission and is now being used at various restaurants and bars nationwide. there is a new plan to start b.a.r.t. fare evaders. next on "today in the bay," the solution leaders are suggesting and how much it's going to cost. >> first, we are moving you

forward this morning with our school shout-out series. today's comes from highlands cdc oakland. >> hello, this is highlands cdc in oakland and my friends and i have something we would like to say to you. are you ready? >> yes! good morning, bay area! >> i love it! let's move, let's dance. united preschool in oakland. always a great way to start our friday. we would like to see your students, if you would like to have them take part in our friday shout-out, just email their classroom's video to us in an email, send it to schoolshoutout@nbcuni.com. happening now, pg&e is making progress in restoring

power across the bay area following this week's storm. at last week, less than 7,000 customers are still in the dark. the majority are still in the east bay. there are about 3,500 on the peninsula, more than 1,800.
