good morning, christina. >> good morning to you, vicky and kris. maybe you're just trying to head to the supermarket, i can tell you, it's chilly. maybe you're bundled up in bed because you have the day off. the fog will burn off by about lunch time. at this point you're socked in all the way from sonoma through marin county. let's talk about what's happening out there and get into some science this morning. i love when we have raw data that can show you exactly what's happening. ta take a look at this. what happens is high pressure comes in, it forces whatever moisture is available right to the surface and this is what we get as a result, a very thin marine layer that you can see from top to bottom here in this picture of the day bridge. that's some pretty cool stuff to you. tomorrow morning we're not going to have a lot of moisture valuable but it is chilly. the wind will really crank by this evening. you can see that here on your futurecast at the immediate coast and through mountain passes up to 45 miles per hour. that means we'll have a wind c

kris sanchez is en route and she may have an update. we have flooding reported, i have circled it over on the right side of your screen as well. we just opened three for lanes and now four more lanes are open if you're traveling north. you see the roadways are drying out. we have still some rhett roadways. there's a little flooding reported around the dublin interchange. we'll enumerate a lot more issues. rye now the only closure is 101. >> pg&e crews are making good progress on a slew of power outages through the bay area. estimates show close to 3,400 outages bay areawide. no place was immune to it. season the christmas tree in the square went dark. now around the city people simply trying to find ways to pass time in the dark. >> we've been talking about sports from sports to broadway plays to taking a train down to southern california. >> full cultural spectrum there. pg&e says at least 150,000 bay area customers lost their power at one point or another during yesterday's storm. meantime take a look at this. a power line in san lean

i'm kris sanchez. sam and laura have the day off. good morning to anthony slaughter. >> it's 54 in san francisco. not too bad once you get up against that water because of the marine influence p. temperatures event will warm to the 50s, hitting 60s in the north bay. >> thank you very much, anthony. we do have breaking news to start you off on this friday morning. all northbound lanes of 880 just north of baskom avenue are closed because of a crash. the chp did enter a sig-alert early this morning. be aware of that closure. we'll keep you updated. >> people in berkeley will raise their voices in song in hopes of benefiting michael brown. >> last night it was a very different story in oakland where more than 100 people took to the streets on christmas night saying that they aren't taking a break from their cause just because of the holiday. they did bring buses to a halt chanting "black lives matter." someone also set a dumpster on fire. >>. >> i think that the amount is minuscule in some wear son with the destruction of people's lives

kris? >> that is interesting. >>> it turns out that the show won't go on, at least when it comes to the new york premiere of the film "the interview." the film was scheduled for tomorrow night, but sony cancelled it amidst new threats that a 9/11-style attack will happen at movie theaters which show that film. the movie is about an assassination attempt on north korea's leader kim jong-un. the department of homeland security says there's no credible intelligence leading to an indication that an active plot against movie theaters in the u.s. is under way. we spoke with local movie goers about the controversy. >> a little bit scary considering what happened in colorado with aurora with the dark knight. when you have threats before, it's something to take into account. >> i know for me it's not going to stop me. i think if only that it's going to hype up the movie more and make people want to see it. >> sony says it does not plan to pull the film, but is leaving it up to local theaters to deci

kris sanchez joins us now live near that closure. chris, any road when the highway is going to reopen? optimism so far this morning? >> well, the hope was to have it open by 5:00 and then we were told by the chp they were hoping to have it a little earlier than that. but take a look at the freeway behind us. we can see some traffic flowing on to the southbound lanes of highway 101 here near marsh road where we are this morning. still those lanes of traffic in the northbound direction are shut down. we can tell you what it looked like before this. the road was completely flooded out and folks could not get through at 11:00 the chp had to call it, shut down the freeway in both directions and the officer that we talked to said it was just an absolute mess. he said people barrelling on the freeway, driving too fast for conditions and really kind of a scary situation for crews that had to work out there and also the law enforcement had to kind of police the roadways, keep folks off. the detour is a long one. if you have to leave in the ne

good morning. >> good morning to you, scott, kris. i want to show you how powerful this system is as it starts to approach california and what you'll notice is it is hitting completely vertically. we are not talking about a horizontal component and what happens when we have a storm that hits the bay area coast like this, it's going to kick up a lot, and i mean a lot, of wind. all that sheer force, all that wind moving in at once, coupled with heavy rainfall. i'm going to give you an idea of the timing, but you have to consider this is not only packing heavy rain, but gusty wind. typically you get one or the other here in the bay area and that is why we are on high alert. the entire bay area, a flash flood warning that goes into effect tonight through thursday night, but i can tell you the heavy rainfall isn't going to impact the greater bay area until we get into tomorrow afternoon. before the rain, the wind will move in. we're talking about a wind warning that starts tonight at 10:00 and lasts until 10:00 p.m. on thursday. in additio

kris? >> so you have to go to the next state over. yikes. >>> retailers are rolling out deals trying to lure in last minute holiday shoppers as we hit the final weekend before christmas. amazon is offering same-day delivery on christmas eve in several cities, including the bay area, as long as you get your order in by 10:00 a.m., then they are going to cut you off. target open until midnight now until new year's and same day instore pickup as late as 5:00 p.m. on christmas eve. >>> well, the state public utilities commission will talk about pg&e's smart meter program today. the commission will decide whether to approve pg&e's plan to charge customers who choose to opt out of the smart meter program. under the plan, customers would be charged an initial fee of $75, followed then by a $10 monthly fee. low income users who choose to opt out would be charged less. >>> wall nut creek is expanding the ban on plastic bags. any food related businesses are also now banned from using plastic shopping bags. earlier this year the city required de

kris sanchez is joining us live from hayward. kris, what is the additional money people are going to have to talk about? >> reporter: we're not talking about a huge amount of money but in these times any amount counts. there are signs like that one posted all around its service area, it says "save water." and folks are heeding that message, they have cut their usage by 10%, but as christina said, the water we have coming is still not enough to bust the drought. so folks are in the position of using the water more than that are getting. that's why east bay mud will consider buying water in a is not cheap. it could put customers on the hook for a 14% surcharge, about $4.33 for an average household. the district will also discuss penalties to be imposed coming in the summer months should the water shortage continue. more than 1.3 million people depend on east bay mud for their drinking water. that's would be the reason why it's about 4.33 in cost for customers if they do have to buy water from the state. if you want to attend the bo

in belmont, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, kris. >> large rallies planned across the bay area in response to what many are calling racial injustice, it all stems from the death of unarmed men at the hands of police and the resulting grand jury decisions not to charge those officers. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning, laura. three major cities in the bay area will be home to either rallies and/or marches where demonstrators will be demanding justice for what they see as police misconduct. in san jose a group of activists organized by the coalition for justice and accountability that includes the naacp will march to san jose police headquarters to present a petition to demand that officer phillip white be fired. the department has already placed him on administrative leave for controversial tweets he allegedly posted in which he allegedly threatened civil rights protesters. the police department has already denounced those posts. the protest march starts this afternoon outside the santa clara district. they will and make there way here to the p.d.
