Degrees at 7 00 this morning, but by the time you walk home from school, mid 60s. Not bad at all. We will talk about the weekend and whats ahead coming up in a few minutes. Vianey has been tracking a slow down in the east bay. Now that were heading into that 6 00 hour you can definitely expect more volume of traffic out there. Im still tracking that accident along 680. Unfortunately it seems to only be getting worse along southbound 680 at scott creek road. Theres a lane still blocked. The reason that lane is blocked apparently chp is reporting a vehicle is on its roof. So unfortunately there possibly may be some injuries involved. You can see that that is backed up way before scott street. If you may want to jump on at jacquelyn, looks like that is all green to go there. On the opposite side you can see some slowing along the northbound side. The reason for that is people typically tend to slow down and look over. Dont try to be that person, you could cause another accident. We are definitely monitoring that again, chp is reporting what looks to be possibly an injury accident. So we are going to look more into that so we can bring you an update. If i scroll this back out you can see just up ahead of that accident its not looking too bad. Lets get a quick check of your bridge drive times. Westbound 580 towards the Richmond Bridge seven minutes, towards the bay bridge the metering lights are on youre looking at 13 minutes. It is 6 02 right now. Developing this morning, a 15 hour standoff comes to an end in the south bay. It all happened in a san jose neighborhood close to the loss lagos golf course. This ended with an explosive bang. Today in the bay kris sanchez is live at the scene. I know you spoke with an officer there on the scene in the last hour here on today in the bay. How did this all come to an end . Reporter in the last half hour that officer did tell us that they had to rescue a man who lives inside that home where that wanted felon was holed up before they could go in and try to get him under arrest. And that was because the man could not leave on his own. So not a hostage but definitely somebody who did not need to be there when all of this went down. Once that man was taken out safely the merge unit backed their s. W. A. T. Bear cat into that home and used tear gas. Officers fired nonlethal shots, thats baen bags and you can hear the k9 going in as well. The suspect managed to stave off arrest for 15 hours. At some points trying to jump fences to get away but eventually he was cornered in this home here behind me. Did eventually try to come out through the different parts of the house and elected to come out the front of the house where he was taken into custody by the police. Put down without a fight . He definitely resisted arrest. Reporter now, at this point you might know that that man was spotted by a Patrol Officer who recognized him as a wanted felon, wanted for burglary and possible connections to other crimes. Now, during that 15hour standoff a lot of neighbors were forced out of their homes and into the cold dark night, but those folks are returning now, except for a few homes. This is one of the homes where the homeowner cannot return. You can see those gentlemen working back there. They are trying to do some repair from where that suspect was taken into custody. They are boarding up a window and trying to fix the garage door before that homeowner can go back in. By the way, the Fire Department was out here as well with big fans trying to clear out that tear gas so that the homeowner could go in without any repercussions. In san jose, kris sanchez, today in the bay. 6 04 right now. New this morning a tragic death in the north bay. A santa rosa woman is dead after a car crash.

Looking live outside in San Francisco, all clear and really cold. If you are going out jogging, extra layers needed in San Francisco. Upper 40s to start throughout the morning, but it does feel much more comfortable later on throughout the morning and early afternoon and as we get a look at all of our high temperatures its going to be a very pleasant day, upper 60s in the draft for the south bay and of course San Francisco. Expect a high of 63 degrees. We will take a look at some more of our temperature trends coming up in four minutes. Vianey has been tracking the east bay slowdown. There is aniua uoh bay slowdown and looks to be just regular traffic on this thursday morning, but i do have an update on that crash along 680. We did call chp, it looks like no major injuries, one person was transported to the hospital as a precaution, maybe just for minor injuries. All this backup that you see here, they did let us know the cars are now off to the shoulder so its just really people slowing down, kind of looking over. You can see both sides of the freeway are starting to get definitely congested on that side. It looks like that has cleared off to the right hand shoulder which is always great news. Now, i do have another issue along 680 but this is along sunol boulevard. Northbound 680 chp is reporting debris in lanes, in the fast lanes, looks like white bags. Some of those vehicles may have crashed into white bags in the fast lane and now there is debris all over the road. So if you are near this area it looks like chp is heading out there to clear out all of this deb friday. Just kind of slow it down. Definitely starting to cause some backups in that area. Coming up next on today in the bay, a new 52 billion mega merger announced this morning, the way it could affect the movies you love and watch. Important information for wine lovers especially as the Holiday Party season was in full swing. The reason you may want to choose a smaller wine glass. And the fcc to vote on Net Neutrality today, how the fcc is like pizza, pizza and wine. Stick around, today in the bay continues. It is 6 13 now on friday eve. A cold start this morning. Taking a live look outside in san jose. Lets go to santa clara for that temperature trend for today. Already by 10 00 we will be in the mid 50s and upper 60s later today. Really comfortable after such a very cold start. We will talk about whats ahead as we go into the weekend and finally a change in this pattern that may allow for some rain to move into the bay area. Thats coming up at 6 19. And we are expecting a couple of changes in the bridge drive times, the metering lights have been on, westbound 80 towards the bay bridge about 11 minutes. Quickly approaching 6 15. A live look in San Francisco this morning. A new Pilot Program for sex workers will take effect. In january the program will cover the citys mission district, typically where the highest concentration of prostitutes operate. A local Health Clinic will staff a van providing sex workers with access to health services, trying to make it easier to report if theyre victims of crimes.

Specifically pete at that sites movies like forks over knives. At 6 15 and will you have to pay your Internet Service provider a fee to watch netflix on top of the money that you are already paying . That is one possibility critics are raising as they watch the fcc vote on Net Neutrality today. Today is the day the fcc will vote to strike down rules that protect data on the internet. Required all data to be treated equally. That vote is going to take place in washington, 7 30 our time right in that building. Here locally the Santa Clara County board of supervisors will hold a press conference to object. The fcc does not care what collateral county thinks. Internet service pro viefders like at t and comcast which owns this tv station swear they will keep following Net Neutrality rules even if the fcc does get rid of the rules, critics say thats like someone saying we should get rid of highway speed limits and then promising not to speed. The head of the fcc claims millions of americans sent in emails and letters encouraging them to do it. The attorney general of new york said yesterday his investigation found 2 million of those documents were fake. One of the more interesting comparisons ive heard about is pizza. When you call your favorite pizza joint on the phone you expect the call to go through. Dominoes cant pay verizon to reroute the call to them. And you dont have to pay extra if you want to call your neighborhood pizza joint because you like their pizza. All pizza joints are treated equally by the phone company. Thats a pretty good analogy to whats happening today. This all starts at 70 our time. Already protests outside the fcc. We will talk more about it on the midday news as well. I want to interject one more bit of Business News and thats what disney has bought most of the fox empire, 54 billion. Disney gets the movie studios and some of the overseas, fox will keep fox news, their sports as well. So basically fox gets a lot smaller and we go from six major studios down to five. Big changes there. Big, big. Thank you very much, scott. A new study says the size of your wine glass may play a role in how much you drink. Researchers in england looked at how the size of wine glasses has evolved over the past 300 years since the year 1700. The capacity of goblets has increased by seven times with a big uptick. It started in the 1990s. Researchers say this appears to coincide with the increase of wine consumption. I helped with that. Do you . Do tell. Do tell after. And after this weather update because we will have some very cold temperatures, maybe start out with some coffee this morning. That will help warm you up, too. Lets get a look outside as weve started out with some very clear conditions, Cool Temperatures and another spare the air alert day. That means you should plan early, carpool, catch Public Transportation. Were trying to reduce our Carbon Emissions an help improve our air quality because its going to be unhealthy today and anything we put out there will be trapped near the surface because of this High Pressure and if you do have breathing problems you should limit your time outdoors. But thats probably no problem right now with these temperatures in the upper 30s in the trivalley, 30 degrees right now in the north bay and its 48 degrees as you head out the door in San Francisco. But our high temperatures today will be really nice and comfortable, well above normal for this time of year reaching into the upper 60s in East San Jose and 67 degrees in danville, hayward today expect a high of 62 degrees, breezy winds, upper 60s for halfmoon bay, san mateo 63 degrees there and 62 degrees in ingleside. North bay 63 degrees in sonoma. Beautiful day, but as yyou head out the door for palo alto only in the lower 40s. Bundle those kids up. At recess they will probably want to take off the heavier coat, maybe a light jacket still needed.

We may have some snow in the sierra and some rain in the bay area. And your weekend forecast is coming up at 6 38. Follow me kari hall on twitter and let me know what youre doing this weekend.

Slow spots and were starting to see a couple more headaches out there. The south bay right now looking a lot better than it was earlier. Now, although we are seeing a better combination in the south bay we are still tracking slowing along southbound 680 at scott creek road. There was originally a lane blocked, chp did confirm that that has been cleared off to the right hand shoulder. Now all thats left behind is a couple people slowing down to check out the crash. We are also dealing with a road hazard crash. It appears chp is reporting a couple white bags were in the fast lane, some cars may have hit those white bags and we are dealing with deb br i in the lanes at sunol boulevard. Chp is on the way to clear out a lot of those areas. Taking a live look at the bay bridge camera, we have all this backup and hopefully people get to work on time this morning.
