to go, sal. did great. >> welcome, johnny. >>> let's check your traffic now. in for sal this morning -- >> and now we find out why i'm here. sal was out hob knobbing with the ball players. johnny cueto knows sal is a guy that you want to be friends with. welcome, johnny. the giants are looking good. >>> traffic not as good, especially here in the petalulma. this is a live picture on the ground. traffic backing up through petalulma 101 southbound at san antonio road, all because of this big rig, loaded down with 20,000 pounds of poultry, presumably chicken, on board this thing. the chp dealing with it here, trying to get it out of the way, causing a couple miles of backup in that area. let me show you what the ride looks like in walnut creek and along highway 24 through lafayette heading toward the tunnel and into the interior east bay, it is very heavy traffic. slow going there on westbound 24 this morning. no crashes to speak of, though, in that area. that's certainly the good news. there is one

hey, sal, look.t a grand slam. >> yeah you did. >> you know what, it was all an accident. >> i understand. >> he was sitting there and no one was talking to him. he has a little problem with english. i sat down and i started talking to him. all of a sudden then he starts talking in spanish and saying how he's very happy to be here and he also likes at&t park. >> i bet he does. that was one of the truly great pictures, you and him. brav 0. >> thank you very much. i think that he is very happy to be here. >>> good morning, everybody. he says he is and he was smiling big, so i think he is. let's go out and take a look at what we have. no one is smiling about the bay bridge today. in fact, there may have been some words said. there may have been some words said about this commute getting into san francisco. it's backed up for an hour-plus trying to get on to the bridge. once you get on to the bridge, it's good. there was an earlier paint and construction material that spilled west of the bridge at fremon

to be friends with sal. >> once you are friends with sal, you're in.and he knows the right people to be friends with. >> all right the giants can do it again; right? sure they did. >> let's take a look at traffic. we'll show you what things look like in oakland. that's 880 going past the coliseum. you can see traffic flowing pretty good this morning getting busier and busier. no major slow-downs there. that is your commute. we'll take you here to 24. highway 24 right near 680. that is interchange. toward the tunnel and toward the east bay, and it of course is going to be a bit of a slow run as you can tell. the good news is no major accidents to report. and we go out here to the maps. i'll show you what the ride looks like. you can probably see on 580. a significant slow-downs that you are going to have to deal with if that is your commute. no major crashes here at 46:17. steve? >> that is just. >> i hope johnny cueto bought for sal because he has the cash now. >> he should have bought for the whole place. right? >> yeah, he's a great pitcher. all righ

tell us about your son sal and how he died. >> sal was like any other boy growing up. he had hopes and dreams. he did struggled with addiction. going into his teen years into his 20s, we struggled. in and out of rehab facilities, never getting the full treatment he needed and deserved due to insurance barriers. the last time we got sal into treatment, we actually had to lie and say he was abusing alcohol because once -- every time we said heroin, it didn't meet the criteria, so we told them it was alcohol and they took him right in. after 12 days we received the phone call saying his insurance had run out again and we need to come pick him up. we picked him up, got him into an iop program, which is only three nights a week. he went to that. did well. on his 90th day clean, he left my house to go to iop and at 3:37 that morning, the police came to my door to tell me they found him in camden of an overdose. i was told that it appeared that someone was with sal when he overdosed but for whatever reason they didn't call 911 to report the overdose, so he was left to die. th

am i going to brian flores or sal? i'm going to sal. i lose track of everybody out there. >> absolutely. we're all out there. we have a team of people covering the storm. right now we're looking at the east shore freeway. going to be slow. 40 minutes from the carquinez bridge to the mcarthur maze. if you look at this picture it's not raining here now and that has helped us out on our commute. when you get to the bay bridge toll plaza, you'll see the traffic is backed up except in the carpool lanes. a 25 to 30-minute delay, a little slower than usual on the bridge. not as windy as it was earlier according to people who have tweeted and texted me. it's not that bad in the last few minutes on the bridge. let's move along to the commute on the peninsula. highway 101 a little slow in san mateo. not too bad getting to the airport. had a couple different crashes on southbound 280 in south city and san bruno. it's going to be slow out of daily city. northbound 101 slows from near brisbane into san francisco. a lot of slow traffic approaching th

sal, you liked that one? i do.t brings back memories of me sitting with santa and not liking it. >> keep the pictures coming and you could end up there on our instagram page. >>> let's go back to the breaking news we've been covering. we're waiting for a news conference to begin any minute from the los angeles school district regarding the threat to schools. we talked about the fact that the new york city police commissioners revealed that new york and other cities received the same threat by e-mail that shut down the l.a.u.s.d. school district today. bay area tools are open, but we are making calls from the newsroom to find out if any of them received the threat, heard about it or taking any action. >> we'll start on the west coast and not new york because a threat to the l.a. school district was specifically e-mailed to board members. it was determined that the ip address was from frankfort, germany. the school district police told the superintendent about what this threat was just before about 5:00 this morning.

going to get out of the way, let sal talk. kind of dangerous in our morning commute. >> reporter: it is, one of the things people don't realize, people are drying slow for a reason. accidents happen, collisions happen when you are driving too fast, when you can't stop in time because of the wet roads. let's look at what we have, we'll start off with highway 24. you can tell it is raining here, now, traffic will be moderately heavy, but i'm actually kind of impressed by how careful people are being. we have crashes out there. more crashes than usual, but it hasn't been all that bad. highway 24 eastbound before the exit, there is a crash there. southbound 68, 680. i'm going to start to read some of these of -- northbound 6680. we had a crash come in a few moments ago, give yourself plenty of time. bay bridge toll plaza, backed up as it should be, no problems in the upper deck by the bay bridge. we mentioned the east bay. we do have a look at the traffic here. it's not all that bad on the livermore commute 680 and we just had a c

sal, how does it look? >> i have a question for sal.terday, hi to drive along the east shore river to union city area. and this -- >> on the freeway. temperature freeway. some of the lanes were like a lake. hopefully that is all drained. >> you know, yesterday in oakland, there were like rivers of water. >> yeah. >> right around between, i could say 10:00 in the morning or 9:00 in the morning and 11:00, it was raining pretty hard. >> well, this was on the freeway in oakland too which was crazy. >> it's safe that way because the drains can't keep up with it. i am glad that we are getting a few days here. we're going to talk to steve. yes, we're going to talk to steve. i'll look at the clock. >> you were right. >> steve is warming up there. let's go out and take a look at the commute now. i want to mention the traffic here on 880 looks pretty good in both directions. temperature traffic pattern in general is going to start changing. this is a look at the bay bridge toll plaza backed up for a 15 to 20-minute delay. at the end of next week,

let's see what sal sees in our commute.dave. right now at the bay bridge toll plaza, as you mentioned, traffic is going to be busy if you are driving into san francisco. you can give yourself a little bit of room here, maybe an extra five or ten minutes because it will impact your commute. we had a bunch of earlier crashes, but that traffic is going to be a little bit better now. also looking at interstate 880 if your trying to get past the oakland coliseum, it looks like. 101 looks good. lombard closed for fire cleanup of earlier structure fire. san mateo bridge, want to take a lao at that. traffic is going to be busy as you drive on both those spans across the bay. let's go to steve. >>> sal, thank you, sir. we have our system moving in. windy for some, it will get there for others. south bay, peninsula, on the coast, marin coast is roaring up parts of mendocino county, santa rosa north as well. eureka getting many reports, power outages, schools closed. we'll look at that in a second. santa cruz with a picture there. clo

all right, sal. it's happening. that's okay, sal. take a second. it's one of those microphone things. we can hear you now. >>> we have a structure fire. >> there was another technical problem. he'll fix that in a second. in the meantime we're worried about what's happening with our weather. it's not that bad a forecast, though, rosemary. >> you're right. drying condition today, break on saturday and then sunday more rain. we are mainly dry out there right now, partly cloudy skies with the re-syd sul moisture in place -- residual moisture in place. fairly quiet where we are continuing to see scattered showers. santa rosa, stretching across saint helena, middletown seeing light scattered showers as well. we're going to have this for the morning hours and it tapers off into the afternoon. i'll show you the next system that is going to come our way. as we get into 10:00, still noticing a little bit over portions of the north bay. scattered showers in the forecast for the sierra. if you're taking a trip to the sierra for the weekend, by 3, 4, 5:00 in th

let's check in with sal.nimals at sal in there. >> did steve paulson just score a goal? he scored a goal and i got a -- >> what did you get? >> not a teddy bear, but a horse. >> okay. >> that's what we've got in the ktvu newsroom. no teddy bear. >>> good morning. my daughter is enjoying this by now. look, honey, there is a horse. let's go. let's go and take a look the at the bay bridge toll plaza. it is looking good. here is a teddy bear. anyway. look. we found a teddy bear with giants on it. that's very good. thank you, guys. bay bridge toll plaza, 25 minute delay before you make it on to the bridge. no major problems getting into the city. san mateo bridge, traffic is slow. slow for halfway across. northbound 880 at win ton, there was a crash earlier. we can go to the maps. it's not normally that slow coming up to this area, so please give yourself a little extra time. there are no major problems southbound, but there is some slow traffic to be had. so give yourself plenty of extra time getting down to san

first, we want to check on the roadways with sal. hi sal. >> hello, rosemary. >> oh, that's all i've got. >> okay. >> i'm just mess being you. so way to bring it to a halt. let's go to the east shore freeway. you know what? this is a look at the east shore freeway. temperature is a week where a lot of people do take off and the traffic does appear to be light. but as rosemary said, it's wet out there. she also said that the rain probably will not last for the entire morning, but right now, it is definitely wet. this is a look at the bridge toll plaza. six 0u 8 look -- 680 looks good. generally, we have a light start. 4:34, let's go back to the desk. >> here is a look at top stories. periods of homes, discovery bay down without heat for several more hours after a major natural gas outage in that area. cold weather may have caused the problem. crews went door-to had-door shouting off gas to each of those homes. we found one group of neighbors making the best of the situation by staying warm with a driveway bonnfire. >> and no heat. our

sal and i will be diligent watching out for it. i think it will be clear, but we'll keep an eye on it. a nice day. just not very warm. one of those days where if you are in the sun, it's not too bad. in the shade, it's so cold. thirtys, host. north at 7:00. that holds them up to 46. palo alto. san mateo at 39. clouds in the sierra but everything is all right until this system starts to drop southward. cold morning. sunny. it's cool. there's a northerly breeze. lots of sunshine. below normal temperatures. we should have a few low 60s. i don't think we'll see that. 5:01. how are you, my friend? >> doing well, steve. we don't have a lot going on. we do have traffic that is beginning to get a little bit busier around the bay area. let's lock at what we have. if you are driving the bay bridge toll plaza into san francisco, we are looking at the commute all the way into the city and really moving along very nicely as you drive through. this is san francisco, northbound 101. that traffic is moving along very nicely approaching the 80 spli

sal is watching everything. how do we look? >> reporter: we look okay. dave and gasia, could be worse. we had a couple of early crashes that were in key spots, but chp on the bay bridge, for example, did a good job on getting the early morning crash we had inside the tunnel out of the way. now the bay bridge toll plaza looks normal. it's not great but could be a lot worse. i don't think anything on the span that's going to be really bad. i do see traffic that is going to be getting more crowded as we look at live picture of interstate 880. we had appear earlier accident southbound near marina. it is still on the shoulder. up would people are looking at of course there was a guy with a very expensive corvette that smashed it up. when there's a very expensive corvette that's smashed up, people tend to look at it as they drive by. that's what's going on there. let's take a look at the novato to san rafael commute. also getting into san rafael from the richmond bridge we have significant backup approaching that toll plaza. 7:15. let's go to steve. >> i was j

alex is in for sal. what we call sal. >> that's right. >> how is traffic?t to keep us from messing up our name? >> everyone calms me that about the newsroom everywhere. it's a good nickname. it works well. it's fitting. hopefully sal likes it. we have an issue with black ice. that is a concern this morning. talking about chilly temperatures. we have an issue of near highway 24. if i don't you are heading westbound just past that just past that at fish ranch road. they have closed the on ramp to highway 24 westbound. that is because of black ice in that area. they are going to keep that shut down for the next two hours because of concerns about cars slipping and sliding. apparently they had a couple of cars that did crash after slipping on that black ice this morning. it's a big concern. when we get these cold temperatures. i will take you now and show our what the bay bridge. residual slowing as you head west on san francisco e. there was a crash a while ago. and heading west into san francisco. and i'll show you the east bay there. 680 -- highway 24 lookin

time to talk to sal. you're watching our commute. know you're keeping an eye on the south bay too. >> yes, they are, dave. we're starting this morning in san jose on northbound 280. it has been looking very nice. northbound 280 getting up to highway 17, there are no major problems there. we're looking at some of the other commutes around the bay. san mateo bridge looks great. this is unusual, obviously as you head out to the high-rise. it's a lighter than usual week as a lot of people have this week off between christmas and new year's. at the bay bridge toll plaza, we're light here. we haven't had a slow down all morning long. no metering lights. let's bring in rosemary because it's been chilly out there. >> right. a little bit of frost out there. we have folks sending in pictures of their windows covered in ice this morning. giving you a look at what's happening outside our doors. there you have it. a beautiful start to the day. calm start to the day. mostly clear start to the day. those two key elements helping to lead to a colder

let's go back over to sal. any trouble spots, sal? well, we do have a problem on the east shore that we'll talk about in just a moment. right now, the traffic is just moderate, and there aren't any real problems, you know, big problems, but we are not getting a light commute. let's go out and see what we have now, and this will be a look at the richmond bridge. you can see traffic is moving along okay. there are no major problems, but it is slow here at the toll plaza. also, here is san francisco. now, if you are driving out of san francisco to catch a flight at the airport, you can see the traffic on southbound 101 is move ago long relatively well. and this morning, if you are driving on the east shore. we talked about an earlier crash that is gone. it's going to be slow from highway 4 all the way down to richmond. there's a break, and then there's more slow traffic in berkeley down to the mcarthur maze where there is a crowded bay bridge toll plaza. 6:46. let's go to steve. >> it's clear and it's cold. no doubt about it. it's also r

sal? >>> things have settled down a little bit., we were working hard and it was raining hard and we had pretty serious incidents on the roadways. right now it's better. start off with the toll plaza. a lot of people are still trying to get into san francisco today and there is a backup. this is not light by any means but at least it's not raining. 25 to 30 minutes before you get on to the span and then it's okay. and san mateo bridge, we have slower traffic and recent rain put water drops on the lens. if we go to the maps, i can show you the peninsula there. traffic is slow and northbound on the bay shore from about 380 heading north, slow traffic there. if you're going the other way, southbound 101 is a little slow in sunnyvale pretty much northbound. it's kind of normal out there but there are wet roads. back to you. >>> in the middle of the night, a tree came down on an oakland apartment. city inspectors have already gone to check the damage. >> reporter: now that the sun is coming up, we can see better the damage this caused.
