High clouds north, 40s in the temps and 50s. Except for high clouds, mostly sunny and mild today, might be a little brisk this morning for some. Sal, what about the traffic . Its getting busier. Look at the east bay commute and you can see the carquinez bridge is taking less than 40 minutes there, slow at the bay bridge toll plaza as well. At the toll plaza youll see traffic backed up to the macarthur maze. Traffic is very slow. Now back to the desk. Bernie sanders won with 60 of the vote compared to Hillary Clintons 38 , and trump had 35 of the republican vote, followed by john kasich with 16 . Reporter good morning. It was predicted that Bernie Sanders and donald trump would win, but they did not predict the magnitude. Bern and donald trump won with larger margins than every poll predicted. Sanders even shot hoops as the results came in. The people of New Hampshire have sent a profound message to the political establishment, to the economic establishment, and by the way, to the media establishment. We are going now to south carolina. We are going to win in south carolina. I love you all. Thank you very much. Reporter trump won by 20 points, but kasich did better than expected, coming in second. Its a big bump heading into south carolina. Im gratified by it for sure. I think its fantastic. But i wouldnt say i was shocked by it. Reporter it may have been a shock to rubio, who had been on the rise in New Hampshire but stumbled after a weak debate performance over the weekend. Our disappointment tonight is not on you, its on me. Reporter for Hillary Clinton, the loss was expected but the margin was not. Its not whether you get knocked down that matters, its whether you get back up. Reporter will anyone in the crowded republican field drop out now as a result of the contest yesterday in New Hampshire . Three republicans in particular are probably on the bubble right now, and christie left the campaign trail to head home today to give the race some deep thought. We dont have a decision yet. Its possible he could drop out. And donald trump claims that he had a long telephone conversation with christie last night. Are endorsement deals in the works . Well see. The next big contests are march 1st with 14 states participating. Because of the way the Election Year is playing out, californias primary in june may actually matter this time around. Usually by june both parties nominees are already clear, but that may not be the case this year if Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders continue to be in a tight race for the democratic nomination. And possibly the candidates could even hold Campaign Events in california instead of just fundraisers. President obama is coming back here to the bay area later today for the more common reason politicians come, to raise money.

They said it was because of valentines day and also because of the competition.

We have the founder here, jeff clark. Youve been watching this weather. Tell us what its going to be like and how big the waves are going to be. The waves will be 30 to 40 feet. We have been watching this storm for five days and its come together perfectly. Its going to hit here friday morning. Reporter a lot of the guys who are competing are in hawaii right now. Is that a good thing, to come right off a competition, since theyre competing today . Is that amping them up . I think its a great thing. These guys are tuned up. Theyre the best in the world, and if theyre tuned up, well see the highest level of performance in big waves that weve ever seen. And el nino, with all the big waves we have had this year, has really helped that come along. These guys are surfing really well. I know its been two years since we have had the competition and now that its here, one of the best ways to watch it is on screen because people are not allowed to go up to the area.

Complaints are growing about a homeless encampment Getting Better in San Franciscos south of market neighborhood. We have been talking to people who spend their time there. Reporter we have talked to several residents, people who work and frequent this neighborhood, 9th and division. Theres always been a presence of homeless and tents in this neighborhood, but a lot of people report noticing its really grown r the number of tents and people out here in the past month. I want to step out of the way to show you this. Just in the last ten minute, department of public works crews have been out here. One supervisor said they come out here every morning to take out the trash and clean the streets here around the tents. They dont kick anyone out but clean up around the encampments they have seen here. I asked if hes noticed the number of Homeless People camping out here increasing, and he says its probably tripled in his opinion in the past month or so. Its a problem many people have noticed in this area. Its not clear whether the encampment started growing when super bowl city moved into downtown, but a lot of people this morning think that is definitely the case. The owner of a gym at 9th and division started posting flyers on the front of his building with the Office Number and e mail of the mayor and every supervisor in town, and hes been telling patrons that if they want something to change, they need to contact city leaders directly. This has been a problem for a while, but i think over the past two months its absolutely exploded. I dont know if it has to do with the super bowl and shutting down market street, but that seems like a pretty clear connection. I mean, its getting really bad. I think the saddest part of what were seeing in division is that there are children in those tents, and that the Fastest Growing demographic of the Homeless Count is currently children between 5 and 17. This is absolutely a moral crisis. Reporter the supervisor says shes proposing a 1 Hotel Tax Increase to generate revenue for homeless families specifically, but thats a long Term Solution that will not immediately alleviate the problem here on division. Another part of the solution is a new homeless shelter at pier 80. It opened on friday but hasnt been as popular as city leaders hoped. Only 20 people showed up the first night and it has room for 150 beds. The truck youre looking at in the distance here, that is a dpw truck. According to to supervisor out here, some of the guys in the yellow vests come out here every morning to clear away some of the trash and debris left by the people who have been camping out here for the past month. Back to you. The federal government is giving a boost to googles plans for a selfdriving car. Nhtsa released a letter it sent to google about the definition of the word driver, saying it will interpret the meaning to include the companys self driving system. The car will not have a driver in the traditional sense. Tech companies and automakers complained the government is making it difficult to test cars that dont need a human behind the steering wheel. Sal, is everybody driving okay now . Well, theres some slow driving going on right now in many points of bay area. Start in san josi, and look at some of the commutes here. 280 northbound is slow as you drive into downtown san josi. The rest of the south bay, the 280 portion i showed you is right there. 85 and 101 are also slow getting into the area. 101 had a minor accident at the 880 interchange. Also seeing slow traffic on 680 getting away from pleasanton. This is a look at the bay bridge toll plaza, 15 to 20 minutes delay at the toll plaza. Getting there on 80 is going to be slow from the carquinez bridge to the maze. Steve . We are already starting off mostly clear here, a few high clouds to the north and south. Starting off with a few 30s, but look at that. Talk about sunrise. There it is. Temperatures are going to rebound pretty fast, at their coolest right now because its going to start warming up. Well take a look at the records in a second. We have had nice sunrise photos like this one up in clear lake, see some of the higher clouds. Best opportunities today south for sure and i focus on san josi and gilroy, 75 for the forecast. That would tie a record high in san josi, going back to 1988. 78 for gilroy would be a record over the 77 set in 2006. Almost all the records set today are 1988 or 2006.

These are more aprillike than february, 60s and 70s across the united states. Heavy rain in the north, drier to the south, so 70s to near 80 again in santa cruz. If youre heading out, beautiful for whatever. You cant beat it. Quiet week for us. We took a moment to hike around some of the parks yesterday.
