Well talk about the weather, because it is going to cool off just enough for you to enjoy your weekend with just a little bit of cloud cover. Now, San Francisco, 58 degrees right now. Notice the wind speeds are calm. If you look at the icons, this is when the high clouds start to roll in, and actually in San Francisco, it is one of those spots that will likely see shower activity, especially tonight into early tomorrow morning. Temperaturewise, well max out in the upper 60s. San jose, notice the wind speeds are light. By about 10 00, 11 00, we see a bump up into the 70s. So a good mix of sun and high clouds rolling through. Then those comfortable 70s before we see a change in the forecast heading into saturday morning. The north bay temperatures will remain slightly cooler, but also those showers will move in early. Mike, how are the roads doing . Well start with the bridge out of richmond, same situation. Three right lane blocked and the signs will indicate wide loads are not able to access, but regular trucks and cars are okay. So that will continue today. At the bay bridge toll plaza, the metering lights are on and they have been since about 5 35. Traditional lighter friday traffic, no major backup here. Some slowing over the incline. Some slowing for highway 37. A little bit for highway 4 through concord, nothing major. A smooth drive south 880, the crash is cleared over to the shoulder. A mild build for the south bay.

The Union Message says Front Line Health Care workers have reached a tentative agreement with kaiser. Some 75,000 kaiser employees nationwide walked off the job for three days, many based in Northern California. It was the largest ever Health Care Strike in u. S. History. Theres still no word on the terms of the deal or the timeline for ratification. On to breaking news in the middle east, here is a live look at gaza city, where theres a new turn for more than 1 Million People living there, the clock is now ticking, after israel ordered more than a Million People in northern gaza to evacuate in what is now a little more than 12 hours. This is new video showing those falling leaflets dotting the skies above gaza city. The u. N. Already says the order is impossible to meet in that short amount of time. And while an Israeli Ground offensive has not yet been announced, this may signal that one is imminent. This morning, the confirmed number of deaths on both sides now topping 2,700. Meanwhile, in washington, Capitol Police are enhancing security, barriers are being placed on city streets, as hamas calls for a day of anger today. In other cities across the country, including right here in the bay area, Law Enforcement is stepping up patrols of jewish houses of worship and businesses. Past calls for action or socalled day of rage have often led to large demonstrations and unrest in gaza and the west bank. All of this plays out as u. S. Secretary of state Antony Blinken joins leaders of the Palestinian Authority and other leaders in the arab world to help prevent escalation. We have more from brie jackson, live in washington. What are the latest developments right now . Reporter good morning, ginger. The white house says that today President Biden is expected to speak with families of some of the americans believed to be held hostage in gaza. Meanwhile, u. S. Defense secretary lloyd austin is visiting israel to determine what military aid is needed to help in their war with hamas. As the war between israel and hamas militants rages on, the Biden Administration is working with regional partners on efforts to help prevent this conflict from spreading. What weve seen here is something, to most of us, almost unimaginable. Secretary of state blinken a joivg in jordan this morning. He was on the ground in israel thursday, getting a firsthand at the aftermath of saturdays surprise attack, delivering a message of report to israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and survivors. The outpouring has been incredible in the United States, and, again, its very, very heartfelt. You can count on us. Well be there. Reporter as the fighting continues, the Biden Administration says its working to get americans out of harms way. The United States government will arrange charter flights to provide transportation from israel to sites in europe. Reporter in washington, d. C.

We cannot let these terrorists, this isislike, nazilike people win. Reporter the u. S. Is considering providing more resources to help israel. Complicating the matter, uncertainty over who will be the next house speaker. And the clock is ticking for the house to elect a new speaker, after majority leader Steve Scalise told republicans that he was dropping his bid for the top position. Now, among other things, aid for israel could be tied up as the speaker fight drives on, ginger. So much to watch out for. Thank you, brie jackson. Tensions over the war in the middle east are boiling over on the stanford campus. Thats where one instructor is suspended for what the school is calling the identitybased targeting of students. Today in the bays kris sanchez is live in morning. Kris, explain how Something Like this happened. Reporter so this appears to be a class for firstyear students at stanford and this is about fewer than two dozen students that were exposed to this. But the university is investigating what it says is not an act of Academic Freedom, but rather something that singled students out based on their identities. I want to take a live look this morning at the stanford campus where we know the lecturer is not going to be in the classroom pending the results of the universitys investigation. Theyre trying to figure out the specifics of what happened and have not released the identity of that instructor. Now, according to stanford university, the instructor asked israeli and jewish students to identify themselves and then had those students go stand in a corner of the classroom, and then said this is how palestinians are treated. Now, according to students who spoke to the chronicle, the lecturer also told about 18 students this was a lesson about colonialism and zionism, blaming the war on people who want to retain israel as a jewish homeland. Stanfords statement reads, in part, quote, Academic Freedom does not permit the identitybased targeting of students. The instructor in this course is not currently teaching while the University Works to ascertain the facts of the situation. Now, we have been hearing palestinian voices from the conflicts reminding people that the Palestinian People are not the same as hamas. Hamas may claim that they are a freedomseeking organization, but based on the violence and terrorist activity that hamas conducts, the United States says this is a terrorist organization that does not represent all Palestinian People. By the way, this is complicated for us grownups. We know that it can be complicated for little ones, too. I did put up a link from my social pages from the American Academy of pediatrics parenting blog about how to talk to your children about this complicated situation in the middle east. Well definitely check that out. Good advice there. Thank you, kris. Our coverage of the war continues on all of our newscasts. For the latest updates 24 7, visit our website, nbcbayarea. Com.
