All lanes of highway one are closed at skyline boulevard and traffic is being diverted to highway 35. Still a big traffic mess out here. It just started raining also, very windy, so the snow conditions on the road as well, now, chp is trying to figure out what caused that driver to had the wrong way in the first place. They are certainly looking into it. Reporting live in pacifica, katie harrington. Time is 7 04. New this morning, San Jose Police are busy investigating a latenight homicide. It was a shooting that happened at 10 15 last night near clayton road. The shooting victim was pronounced dead at the scene. So far, there are no suspects, no arrests have been made. Also new this morning, controversial plans to build a Hotel Project off interstate 680. The plan was to convert a vacant sports club into a five Story La Quinta Hotel on jaclyn road. Last night the Planning Commission heard several hours of public testimony and is and abate. Then in a 42 vote they said no to building that project. It would have had 105 rooms and underground parking. The critics complain their views of the mountains would be blocked and they worried about extra traffic, construction noise and public safety. The developer, though, said jobs would be created and that hotel space is badly needed and it would also be created. There are reports now that the developer will appeal the Planning Commissions decision to city council. Today governor gavin newsom will be in oakland, the last stop of a statewide tour on homelessness. Governor newsom will go to a site near the colosseum where emergency trailers and medical services have been set up to peep help people that are homeless. Earlier this week, he visited fresno, los angeles, and riverside. The Police Commission passed a resolution urging Police Officials to come up with alternatives for police sweeps for people who are homeless. They say they want to seem more trained social Service Workers than other outreach workers to help People Living on the streets. Supervisor matt hani had to say this about the situation. I hear regularly that they feel they have placed too much responsibility on them to respond to all of them. It will allow the police to focus more on public safety, which should always be their primary responsibility. The 49ers are going back to back practice today as they work on a plan aimed at stopping Aaron Rodgers and the green bay packers. Aaron rodgers is coming back to the bay area for the second time in less than two months. Is a native of chico. The 49ers defense will try again to contain him on sunday during the nfc championship game. Yesterday, 49ers quarterback jimmy drop lowe was asked why eryn rogers will be tough to beat. The way he processes information quickly. He really doesnt have a little bit of everything. Just watching him prepare and also learn, some things that he does. He does it at such a high level for such a long time. According to the 49ers, they have won the last two playoff games against the packers and many sports pubs say the 49ers are 7 1 2 point favorites to win on sunday. Now, the only place to watch the nfc championship on tv is right here with us. The kickoff is sunday, 3 40 pm then, make sure you watch the point after on ktvu fox 2.

It has been closed since 3m this morning when a car went the wrong way on highway one, it was southbound highway one, but there was a car coming northbound, the car is still there, they are still cleaning it up here and this is what is left of that Dodge Charger. On southbound highway one. It looks like the rain has made it through or at least some of the weather has made it through this area, this is southbound highway one on the right. Northbound which is the commute direction is still getting out of pacifica, what happened here is they had a tow truck, they took one of the cars away. They only have one tow truck, they had to come back and are waiting for that same tow truck to come back and get the second car and it has been an extended investigation for sure. If youre looking to get into pacifica from daly city or south city, a lot of people will be using it. You can get over pacifica. Peninsula southbound 280, traffic is moderate and if you are driving in the east bay, we dont have as much traffic, i think some people may be staying home, Richmond Bridge traffic is okay. Southbound 101, Sonoma County, this is our crew driving, you can see it is very slow heading south. Give yourself plenty of extra time. The bridge is backed up for a 15 or 20 minute delay. 7 10 now. Lets bring stephen. Parts of Mendocino County also lake county, that cold area, some of that is trapped down here, got modified by that strong south wind but there are some reports now into lake county, some of that has turned over to snow and for the sierra, it is all about wind. There will be some crazy gusts up over some of the passes and some of the higher peaks that may be 100 i would think theres already guess about 45 on the lake itself. Interest or morning start at six but really snow is not the issue yet. Snow will be showing up probably after 10 00 am. Some of the rainfall totals for marin county, i think it will be to have. It is making its move now, between now and eight and 10 oclock is when it will start to move through some of that stuff, pretty heavy damages saw a video from live view, it was showing healdsburg, cloverdale, santa rosa, there is a moderate to heavy rain. Parts of inverness, it is really coming down. Same for San Francisco, just be getting there. Heaviest is still just offshore and to the south it is going to take a little while. The win, though, 35 miles. 40 to 50 Miles Per Hour. Up in the Oakland Berkeley hills 30 and on the coast there is been 40 and even 28 at hayward. So, it is windy and it will eventually be raining for everybody. 40s, 50s on the 10th and we will see this system tried slide through the next area but it is finally making its move it will take until late morning, early afternoon and then the colder air comes in. That will trigger some showers and possible thundershowers. After that, the temperatures along the cool side. They are below average across the board and finally what we will see is a weak system saturday, no big deal sunday, still looks fine, you guys. Still ahead, uber has a new way to let its drivers reject a fair after they find out what a passenger wants to go. Coming up, why some critics say that may lead to discrimination.

A 10,000 reward offered by police in union city leading to the arrest of whoever shot and killed two boys back in november. Police released a surveillance photo of the car believed to have been used by the shooters. They think that car is a 2014 to 2017 silver toyota camry. Police a 14yearold Sean Withington and Kevin Hernandez were in a vanity School Parking lot at 1 30 am when two gunmen fired shots at the van. They condemned them to die when they have so much potential. And they were young, just young kids. 11 and 14. As of right now, police say they dont know why those boys were in the van at that time, but they are hoping someone can recognize the car and comes forward. The motive for that shooting is still under investigation. Today on capitol hill, history will be made for the articles of impeachment against President Trump will be allowed on the floor of the u. S. Senate. The newly appointed house manager of the impeachment process walked through the halls of congress yesterday, hand delivering the articles of impeachment to the senate. Later this morning, Supreme Court chief Justice John Roberts will swear in all 100 senators as jurors. At this point, we still dont know if Senate Majority leader rich mcconnell will let witnesses testify at the senate trial. At mccall makes this the first trial in history without witnesses, it will be exposed for what it is and that is an effort to cover up for the president. They say it was designed to stabilize our institutions. House democrats may have descended into that but the United States senate must not. It is due to begin on tuesday. We will continue to bring you the latest from washington as the trial begins to take shape. New this morning, a report from the Government Accountability office says the white house broke the law when it froze u. S. Military aid to ukraine. And eight page report has come up from the nonpartisan congressional watchdog agency, it says, quote, faithful execution of the law does not permit the president to substitute his own policy priorities for those of congress has enacted into law. Several witnesses who testified before the house impeachment investigators said President Trump ordered the hold on that Critical Military assistance. Also new this morning, ukraine announced its investigating allegations of former u. S. Ambassador marie euna bonaventure, was under illegal surveillance by unknown individuals before she was recalled from her post last may. Google is rolling out a new feature, one that allows new feature to see where the passenger is going and what the arrival costs. Giving them that option can lead to discrimination. It is meant to give drivers more independence and choice as contract workers under the new worker law. Advocates for people who live in disadvantaged communities say the feature could lead to problems. Some writers say they see it both ways. We are very worried that discrimination will occur and drivers will choose to not pick up in certain areas are not dropped off in certain areas. If you have your son or your daughter or your retired father thats getting an uber, yeah, it may be a concern, but at the same time, the challenge would be that, you know, there is a certain discriminatory aspect of that where you cant get a ride to a local neighborhood. Advocates also say state and local authorities should impose more regulations on private companies. A statement for uber on this reads in part, so far we have seen no indication that drivers are accepting trips to disadvantage areas any less frequently than other areas because of the strange that we are keeping a close eye as these changes rollout more fully across the state. 7 19. A lot has been happening in our commute. You have been busy since you came in. Out as a lookout . It looks alright but in case you are just joining in, you dont know about this, highway one and pacifica is closed southbound.

You want to get down to pacifica, you can use manor drive or you can use sharp park road to get down to the bottom of the hill.

There are some roaring gusts. 36 at the Oakland Airport up in the hills, 50 mileperhour gusts, i know there have been some near nevada, big rock, 51 at mount diablo. 439 to 44 mileperhour gusts. 40s and 50s, we warm up to that strong south, southeast breeze but the front is slowly working its way towards us and it will be here through the morning hours, should taper off early afternoon but then the colder air comes in that could allow for more shower activity or possible thunder shower activity and maybe some lowering snow levels again for some of the bare area p goal. Things are pretty quiet, there will be a lot of clouds but not much else, could be week little system saturday. Still looking at. 7 23. The list is out for the top 50 jobs for 2020.

Southbound traffic is going to be slow all the way down to this civic center. There have been no major issues. I want to go back to pacifica because highway one is still shut down beef between skyline and manor drive. If you want to get to pacifica, use sharp park road. There is a crash in San Francisco northbound 101, we will talk more about that in a bit. We have been reporting on heavy winds.

There is also sandbags here as well. There is a sign out front that says if you have any trouble, contact the San Francisco Public Utilities commission. In fact, we just heard back and they said they always put flood stops in this area because it is a lowlying part of the city and it is prone to heavy flooding. Now, in front of this, you can see some people trying to get past these, but the heaviest rainfall is expected to hate hit bay area wide around 9 00 am this morning. The heart of the morning commute. We will show you the video now, it began pouring a couple hours ago in north bay, sonoma, marin and lake counties. Heavy rain in the town of windsor as well.

We drove in on the bay bridge, we are in a high clearance video, 12 foot tall live truck and we can feel that wind gusts picked pushing us around. Drivers are advised to take it easy out there on the road, again, the brunt of the storm is expected to hit by 9 00 am, during the heart of the morning commute. Live in San Francisco, allie rasmus.

That underground water tunnel has been fixed now along with the separate Drainage Pipe on sausalito bolivar park the head of public works in the City Engineer told the independent journal this phase of that cleanup from the landslide cost the city about 100,000. The first phase cost about 900,000. The landslide last year caused the duplex, at sausalito boulevard to fall off its foundation and slide downhill into a vacant house on crescent avenue and one woman was injured. Officials say the work there could take years. That phase is due to begin in the spring. Police in alameda were looking for whoever has been handing out fake parking tickets. Officers say and manor received a ticket on his car last month and went to the city when he couldnt figure out how to pay it, but the ticket showing a 100 fine was a mistake. The small print of the very bottom that says it is not natural fine, but the ticket is for entertainment purposes only. Police say they think there may be more fake tickets only out there. Whoever is doing it, please stop. It is not cool. We already have to worry about our cars being safe. When we write a citation, it will show violation, the fine, the issuing officer, date and time with the serial number and how to contest it. If you are not sure if your parking ticket is the real thing, contact the city of alameda.

The Palo Alto Based Firm Solutions says it will no longer work to develop an Early Morning system for earthquakes. The Los Angeles Times reports that after 20 years and 30 million, the company is ending the project. They hoped to use sensors along the california coast to issue warnings, but the companys engineers were never able to accurately warn of a seismic event. The Companys Research is separate from the system which is still in operation. The money will go to the states 33 million earthquake brace program. Under the plan homeowner can receive up to 3000 to bolt their homes to the foundation or brace their wall with plywood. The state says it hopes the program will help retrofit more than 6300 foam homes. And other Homeless Navigation Center will open in San Francisco. It will be post and high, it will help to get homeless, at risk youth off the streets and on the right path. Now, this Navigation Center will have a dorm on the top floor, City Services on the second floor and a Goodwill Store on the first floor. Some angry neighbors say they just found out about this and they dont like it. You just walk two blocks and you will see a drug deal. This is where they are going to put them thinking they are going to help them out. You dont think that is going to be the case . No, it is going to bring that up to our neighborhood here and make this neighborhood less safe. City supervisor say the Navigation Center is wellrun and it will not hurt that neighborhood. The Youth Homeless center could open by the end of the year. Meantime, the National Guard armory in santa cruz is providing shelter now for the homeless, people who were staying at an outdoor encampment that was managed by the Salvation Army started moving in yesterday. Now, at least 80 people can be housed there. That campsite will be cleared out after everyone has been removed.

There is been some pretty good totals in and around the Russian River also into moran county. Santa rosa probably had more than 4100. Been home at third, petaluma 29. Im sure petaluma has had more than that. Snow up into lake county, also up into Mendocino County. It has made it down to 1900 feet. The strong south winds just modified our air here. We went up to the 40s and 50s on the temps. The system has slowed down, everyone is saying this is a bust. No its not. It is just slow down. We talked about that. May not get until 10 00 am or noon, for some. Certainly to the east and south but if it is in there where you are, it is coming down pretty hard. It is in napa county now, it is also kind of lifting northward which means it is not that much rain to the east and also to the south. There is a little bit of rain there, but the heavier rain is to the north, eventually that front will slide through, it is just taking up time. Oakland, due south of 36. 80 mile an hour gusts have been around also around diablo, 35 now above the Oakland Berkeley hills.

Coming up, the reward that is now being offered to find who is responsible. A trip to the hospital can be a very difficult experience for just about anyone out there. After the breakout one hospital is using a different approach to help its patients. She never went to school but she has been healing patients for four years. She is not a doctor but she has been making all the rounds. Posey, the therapy dog. What the dog. It is in fact that pets help calm us down, what better way to relax kids and their parents in a pediatric emergency room than a tail wagging dog . Posey is now a mainstay at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco because posey is very good medicine. How does it make you feel . That scared. Yeah. It is not often you see a dog inside a hospital, but then you havent met posey. She gets a lot of treats, thats okay. And this lab golden mix, heavy on the lab, earns everyone of them. For the past four years, posie has been a mainstay. Than a campus hospital. Inside the pediatric er. His owners a doctor and he wont leave home without her. Hes been by her side five days a week. Complete with a name tag and hospital id. It is amazing how much it makes the place a lot softer and a lot more welcoming. The hospital is a scary place for a lot of people and she brings a sense of familiarity and calm. Especially with kids like fouryearold emmy from mill valley. She needed stitches for a bump on her head, before the procedure, posie paid her a visit and like magic, the little girl settled right down. I think we might be on the way to get a puppy. [ laughter ] she may have made out on the deal here. I think so. There you go. Fouryearold sophie was in for a checkup and in minutes, she forgot all about the hospital. What did you think of posie . Hes cute. So when you show up with the dog at the door, eating immediately brings down all the tension. You can see people relax and exhale. Posie was trained by canine companions for independence in santa rosa. Good girl. While offering comfort, she understands 40 different commands and even while she is resting, she is still giving out that positive vibe and not just for the patients. She is therapy all around for all of us, you know. When theres time, you can walk her, feed her, always there for a good pet any snuggle. Yeah, shes great. In the meantime, she is busy getting followers on her Instagram Account and making a big difference at see pmc. You can have all the medical knowledge in the world and all the proficiency with needles and suturing but when you have the whole picture, which includes making a bond with the family and patients, she just really helps that. I think she is a hit. Posie was part of a litter, so all of them got names that started with the p. She is still waiting to meet the giants catcher, buster posie. I know a lot of hospitals and airports use this sort of program. The doctor actually is a trainer dog. She brought her into just kind of get used to the lights on all the commotion now know that kind of thing. And then he gave out to the companion in santa rosa to train to go somewhere else. Of it apparently the dog got some so attached to the hospital and the doctor and he really likes to eat a lot, they gave it back to them after it was trained and they said why dont you just bring posie back to the hospital. She has been there ever since. Things are clicking. Lets check back in with salad a look at that thursday morning commute. We still have a closure on highway one into pacifica, the commute direction is northbound at this time, mostly people going north if you have to get into pacifica, you are going to have to use manor drive or sharp park road. Northbound 101 at third, there is a crash. It is off to the side, but the whole thing has been very slow getting into and out of San Francisco, along the peninsula and that includes highway 101 through san mateo and 101 getting into palo alto. I also want to mention we have slow traffic on 80 west bend getting down to berkeley. Everywhere, really, is low. It is not raining hard here, but it is windy. You can see our camera moves every once in a while and a 41 minute drive, by the way, to the bay bridge. 8 18. Lets bring steve back. Thank you. For some it is rain and wind. For some it is just the wind. The system has slowed down but where it is raining, it is really coming down. Our good friend marty, good morning to you. A wicked wet start with three quarters of an inch of rain and still coming down and sometimes sideways, i believe it. Inverness, three quarters, here we go, we talked about this, marin county up to rush river would be the leader of the pack with the Santa Cruz Mountains close by. Santa rosa, 41 100. It is a light rain but it will stack up overtime. Half inch to 2 1 2, i would think marin county also parts of the road would be to have. The system has slowed down. Nine, 10, maybe even 11 or 12 oclock before it actually makes a move to areas from the east and south. Some people are saying where is it . It will get there. I have seen projections between 6 00 am and 6 00 pm. The heaviest is after the noon hour. There is also snow up in lake county. Up to layton bill. The south wind did not modify your area. It did here. Pretty good little line in san rafael. The mill valley, looks like san rafael, then over San Pablo Bay, starting to make a move. If you are stuck in it, it is pouring. If you are south of that, there is probably nothing. The wind hasnt, though. South at 36 in oakland. 50 mile an hour gusts, 54 at mount diablo. Same for big rock, they have been 44 to 50. Half moon bay is 44 Miles Per Hour. Watch out on the san mateo bridge. Maybe it is not rain but that wind will bounce you around a little bit. Upper 40s, low 50s. Look for that system to slowly drag across throughout the day and that will increase their rainfall rates. Cold air behind the system here close tomorrow morning will be quite cold and some of that could trigger some thunder shower activity later today. After that, though, 40s and 50s for your highs today even though we are already in the 40s for some. A weak system saturday, no big deal. Sunday looks dry. Still looking dry, you guys.

An uber is rolling out a new feature that is allowing drivers to see where the right is going and what the rental cost. Ask are saying giving drivers that often can lead to discrimination. The move is meant to give drivers more independence as contract workers. Advocates for people who live in disadvantaged communities say the feature could lead to problems. Some riders say they see it both ways. We are very worried that discrimination will occur and drivers will choose to not pick up in certain areas or not drop off in certain areas. If you have your son or your daughter or your retired father that is getting an uber, then yeah, it may be a concern but at the same time, the challenge would be that, you know, there is a certain discriminatory aspect of that where you cant get a ride to a local neighborhood. Advocates also see the state and local authority should impose regulations on private companies. A statement for an uber on this issue reads in part am ago, so far we see no indication that drivers are accepting trips to disadvantages areas any less frequently but we are keeping a close eye on these changes as they roll out more fully across the state.

So, it is very important for us to make sure that care drivers were fingerprinted, that they have carefully caregiving experience.

Here is the flood preparations we were telling you about. The San Francisco Public Utility Commission. The plastic barricades in this area, they say they do it regularly because this is an area that is prone to flooding. We will show you the area now. Public utilities commission, so they do this anytime there is heavy rain expected. This is a lowlying area of the city. Even though workers have businesses right behind these barricades, need to hop over them to get to work or get them moved, one worker we talked to said it is worth the trouble instead of dealing with the flooding. The water goes in really bad, especially around this area. And then sometimes the water accept. That is the worst. You are glad to have these even though it takes a little work to get in.
