All right. Here is the radar picture. It looks like a lot of rain. There is a lot of activity in california. A lot of activity. Yes, it is very colorful today. Steve will talk about the details. Rain and wind and cold temperatures heading our way. Snow too. Thank you for joining us, friday december 23rd. Im pam cook. And im Frank Mallicoat. Gasia and dave are enjoying the holiday. You get pam and frank. Lets go over to steve to find out how much and for how long. About three quarters of an inch. How about the evening commute, will it still be raining. It will be hit and miss. Yes. Yes. A lot of people will be driving. Some areas will have it. Others will. If you dont have the rain yet, just you wait. John says that there is steady rain out in brentwood. Im waiting for the red cell to get here. You dont have long to wait. It is getting close as it moves over to brentwood, antioch, highway 4, stretching back to east bay, mount diablo, livermore, 580 680 split all the way back to the east bay. It looks like were on the back edge of this. Especially for San Francisco. At least three quarters of an inch. Some areas more. Not as heavy to the south but still some. Maybe over the higher peaks youre starting to see mix on precipitation. Im not surprised. Extremely cold air is coming in. Santa cruz mountains, more of a steady rain. That will add up over time. 17 will be tough as well. Not as much in mendocino and lake county. Snow on the way for tahoe and truckee because of the winter storm warning kicked in early and will go until 10 00 a. M. With very snow levels. In fact, around 2,000 feet. Even Southern California over the grapevine. Be advised. If you have to travel today, go early if you can before the system arrives. I cant overemphasize how cold the air is swinging in. We will get a little break. Then we will start to see that rotate n you get thunderstorms out of that. That would be the source of the snow levels. That is the coldest pocket we have seen in a long time. 50s on the temps. Pretty good rain there for a while, sal. Im sure youre seeing it on your cameras. You know, the volume is lighter. The Traffic Volume is lighter, i should say, steve, which is helping us out. If it was raining like this on an ordinary commute day, we would have a lot of crashes much we do but the crashes are not causing huge traffic jams. It is relatively light as you can see taking a look at the bay bridge. It has been light all morning long at the bay bridge. Getting word of a brandnew accident reported at 6 59 northbound 880 at hyde street. It is windy. The accident that was just reported is just outside of our cameras view on northbound 880. I dont see any big traffic jams yet on 880. We have one on 580 leaving Castro Valley because of a crash that was there at really the top of the dublin grade, getting out to the stoneridge area. If youre trying to drive out to pleasanton on 580, you will see slow traffic. Move it over to San Francisco. Southbound 280 atmonter a, theyre clearing out an accident to daly city and the south part of San Francisco. There is a crash and slow traffic there. By the way, also slow traffic along number 101 from the 280 interchange up to cesar chavez. Not completely light but it will be a little bit slow. Lighter than usual day commute wise. Happening now, the story weather is also causing delays at bay area airports on one of the expected busiest days of the holiday season. Christien kafton is live at sfo. Reporter hey, sal. We are live inside sfo. We will give you a quick look at the line here to go through the Security Check area. You can see it is outside of the main area. People are standing outside of that area, getting ready to go into the Security Check. Were also starting to hear now about delays on arrivals in particular. If you take a look at the arrival board, the f. A. A. Has issued a Traffic Management program at sfo which means there is an average delay of two hours, 15 minutes. Take a look at the board right there. A seattle flight was set to arrive at 9 00 a. M. Now at 10 00 a. M. Weve also heard about some delays on departures as well. Now, today as you said, sal, expected to be a very busy travel day. An estimated 2. 4 million travelers are expected to travel today. We are getting word about some problem out of lax this morning. Already 230 flights in and out of lax have been canceled due to Stormy Weather in the south. That could have effects in the bay area. There could be 200 Flights Canceled or delayed by noon today. The f. A. A. Is listing an average of one and a half hours delay into lax. Now, we also have a live shot up into oakland. Delays out of oakland as well. To give you a sense of how things are looking at the tsa check point, flight view is reporting that delays on many flights out of oakland are delayed. Were also hearing delays out of San Jose International airport as well. Although those delays in and out of san jose appear to be clearing up. This will give you an idea the reason behind many of the delays. You can see that we have rainy, wet conditions here at the drop off area at sfo. Of course that rain affecting visibility at bay areawide airports. Airlines and the airport are advising everyone to check with your airline to see if the flights are arriving or departing on time. Pam. Have you been able to find. The weather is affecting things here. Have they told you which airports across the country are having more problems. If people are heading through chicago or which places are bad . Reporter its been spotty. Its been spotty, pam. We have been looking and seen areas in areas as diverse as las vegas to seattle. So we are seeing some spotty delays at various airports throughout the country. Of course were seeing a lot of wet, Rainy Weather here on the west coast. So a lot of flights in and out of the bay area, a lot of flights going to and from lax in Southern California also have delays. If you get snow back east a lot of the planes come here and fly there. So check nice and early. Reporter thats exactly right, frank. As the day progresses. Right. Reporter the delays start to stack up. If a flight misses its connection in one location, it has a Ripple Effect throughout the day. You can expect that the delays were seeing this morning could extend even further as the day progresses.

Dont pack your cars with holiday gifts. Law enforcement reminding people that thieves are making rounds in parking lots and city streets looking for packages inside of your car. The san mateo sheriffs detective demonstrated how easy it is to make off with the stolen goods. One had items left right there on the seats. Theyre looking for the easy targets. They want to get what theyre looking for and get out. They dont want to be caught. They are looking for valuables in plain view. Earlier this month, the Sheriffs Department sent out mailers to people to remind them not to leave valuables inside the car. Coming up, two people shot on an east bay freeway. In our 7 30 half hour, the third incident in as many weeks on interstate 580. First, two brothers detained on suspension of planning a terror attack. We will have the large Shopping Mall where they were reportedly targeting. At t. J. Maxx, marshalls and homegoods, weve always believed the holidays should be about joy. Where days are filled with magic, not madness. Its why we have amazing prices on thoughtful gifts, everyday. Lets bring back the holidays. New this morning, the suspect in the berlin truck attack has been killed in a shootout in italy. The news broke hours ago. Live in washington with what we know so far. Reporter well, frank and pam, good morning to you. This morning german officials are relieved that the suspect, 24yearold anis amri has been caught but the Terror Threat to germany remains extremely high as they unravel what led up to the attack. The manhunt for anis amri ended in a 3 00 a. M. Shootout. Police on routine patrol in a milan neighborhood asked a man for id, who then pulled out a gun from his backpack, shots were fired. A program was injured. And the gunman was killed. Killed after a number of inquiries made under the circumstances. Without any shadow of a doubt it is anis amri, the presumed suspect of a terrorist attack in berlin. Reporter milan is more than 600 miles from berlin where earlier this week amri allegedly drove a truck seen on the left side of the screen into a crowded Christmas Shopping market, killing 12 people and injuring 56 others. Immediately following the attack, amri vanished without a trace except for his finger prints that sparked a manhunt across europe. Mosques were raided where he was seen both before and after the attack. That was just a short distance from the market that reopened thursday and where a candle lit memorial began to take shape and where handwritten tributes were left for the victims. And frank and pam, were also learning this morning that shortly after the berlin attack, an Islamic State news agency released a video purportedly showing the attacker pledging his allegiance to the terror group as well as calling on muslims across europe to rise up and strike the west. Frank and pam. Thank you, garrett, for that update. The time is now 7 14. Police in the western germany arrested two brothers on suspension that they were planning to carry out a terror attack on a Shopping Mall. The two brothers, 28 and 31 years old from kosovo, authorities think that the men were planning an attack on the central mall. The two brothers were arrested overnight and searched the car for any evidence. They dont believe there is any connection between this attack and the deadly truck attack on monday. Donald trump is having a tough time getting acts to perform at the inauguration. The rockets have agreed to take part on the festivities on january the 20th. One rockette took to instagram after the announcement to express her disappointment in having to perform. All of the rockettes are worried they would lose their job if they refuse to show up. Lets go over to sal to see how were doing on getaway friday. A little bit of rain out there. Thats right. If it wasnt for the rain, i think we would have a better commute. We have problems out there. Serious crashes in the rain. Were taking a live look at highway 24 though. Traffic looks good from walnut creek to oakland on this stretch of freeway. There is a backup at the bay bridge toll plaza. Very slight. It is after the toll plaza, after you pay your money, approaching what is the metering lights. For the most part, it has been light as you drive out for the commute. Now, weve had a couple of issues out there. And one of them is eastbound 580 trying to drive away from Castro Valley and over to pleasanton. Theres been a crash. It was blocking several lanes eastbound 580 near the top of the dublin grade. Driving out towards pleasanton, maybe youre going out to the stoneridge mall. You will encounter traffic in Castro Valley heading east. Thats been there for a while. They are having trouble clearing it out. The rain is not helping. Slow traffic in San Francisco as well. Northbound 101 is slow. And we also have slow traffic on southbound 280 approachingmonter approaching monterey, where they are clearing an accident there. The rain is causing slow traffic. For the most part, lighter volume on the freeways. 7 17. Lets go to steve. Very ledgity. At least it is moving. For some it has let up. Lets look at that time now. North bay didnt get in on the heavier, although marin county. About marin county down to San Francisco, oakland, san mateo over to fremont and east. Thats where the bulk was. There was development on the system over to San Francisco. Bg says merry christmas, pouring near the greenery in walnut creek. Thats right across from heather farms. We play golf at diablo hill. Major renovation at the greenery. Cant wait for that to be done. Thank you for that, bg. Our observer just reported that. Discovery bay, the bulk of it is there. The back edge of the heavier rain is over towards san ram and livermore and maybe over to clayton as well and out to highway 4. There is still plenty of rain stretching all the way to the east bay and all the way to the coast here. Lighter amounts now. Not as intense as it was earlier. Also breaks now taking place over some of the letup in the rain. Maybe a mix in the East San Jose foothills. Some of that trying to turn over. I would not be surprised if hamilton gets snow. The best best is hamilton for sure. The Santa Cruz Mountains, not half, heavy, but a steady rain falling there. There might be a little bit of a letup in the next hour. Not as intense near mendocino and lake county. Mount shasta tore those heading north on i5, it is snowing up there. The lower snow levels to the north near the oregon border. And it looks like the snow level around 5,000 feet. Its not the grass valley. Thats the last that i can see here. Around 4800 feet to 5,000 if youre on 50 and then above grass valley if youre heading up 80. But the winter storm warning is in effect until 10 00 a. M. There will be a couple feet in the higher elevations. 4 to 8 maybe isolated. 10inch amounts going up the mountain. Also Winter Weather advisories. If you have to travel in Southern California, the grapevine could be dicey tonight. The earlier you go, the better. This pool of cool air has to swing in. Stretching out across the gulf of alaska. You can get intense thunderstorms out of that. Tomorrow we will keep rain going into saturday. And then by sunday, were okay. But it will be very cold. 50s object the temps here. Some of the coldest air we have seen in a while. There are hints of that going forward. I dont want to get too far ahead of myself, frank. Wait five minutes. Sunday. Christmas, it is fine. But it will be cold. If youve been procrastinating shopping, youre going to get wet. Yes. Thats what you get. Thats what you get. Thats what you get. Thank you, steve.
