5:04 am
or female but they're ininvestigating it as a suspicious death. we're also being told that there are signs of trauma on the body. so right now what's going on is the investigators are still out here. what they're doing is waiting for daybreak so they can process the scene. we have been told that the coroner's office has been called to the scene. not sure whether or not the body has been removed, but obviously, given the state of darkness that they've had to work under, what they want to do is wait until the sun comes up and go through that area with a fine-tooth comb to collect any potential evidence. what we're waiting for right now is word from the sheriff's department on exactly why they're calling this a suspicious death. as soon as we get that information, we'll pass it along. >> we'll check back with you and get updates throughout the morning. police in the east bay are looking for more victims of a man who is accused of drugging

5:18 am
forecast. high pressure still dominating the forecast but we still have clouds roaming about, and because we have some clouds this morning like we didn't have yesterday, our temperatures might be either at or maybe even a degree cooler than it was yesterday if you're at the coast or by the immediate bay. inland you're still going to be on the warm side. san jose maxing at around 77 degrees. that's what we'll expect as you head into the 2:00, 3:00 hour this today, and again that live look shows us that we're doing good in terms at visibility. the winds on the light side but we have 10 miles per hour winds in fairfield, 3 in concord, and in the south bay we're looking at 10 miles per hour. sustained winds through downtown san jose. we've got 57 in oakland. a mix of upper 50s to low 60s like we had yesterday morning at this time. this afternoon look for the inland east bay valleys to warm up. otherwise you're looking at a mix of 76 to 79 degrees.
5:19 am
take a look. we're still looking at a warming trend beginning wednesday into thursday and by the weekend, upper 80s to near 90. let's get to traffic. even though there's a signal alert with lanes blocked on westbound highway 92 right at 101 where a truck and several other vehicles collided, debris spilled across the lanes, only one, possibly two lanes open, there isn't much of a backup in the westbound direction. what few lanes are open are able to absorb the traffic. it is backing up approaching the 101 interchange and will add about two to three minutes to your trip, but it's not having any impact on this ride. so of course there are no lights at the san mateo bridge so there's nothing that caltrans can do here at the east end of the span, but the traffic getting by so far seems to be able to be getting through. there is debris in the lanes,
5:20 am
there are emergency vehicles there, and that's why they don't have all of the lanes open yet. we are sending crews to that location, because if this is out there for much longer, the potential for a huge traffic jam exists. right now the bay bridge westbound looks good. we're about 10 to 15 minutes away from seeing the metering lights activated. for your ride to the golden gate 101 northbound, southbound delay free as you head across the span, and also problem free as you head through the county. >> thank you. big news we're following this morning, law enforcement officials say the gun man who killed 9 people last week ranted about not having a
