You were dreaming last night. I thought my roof was going to cave in. We both came in, pounding on the roof. Skyline. There you go. For some up north, youre like hey we havent had that much rain. You will get some later on. I think the thunderstorm activity will pop up more north. Santa cruz mountains, wet and cool. 46. Moderate to heavy rain overnight with an inch and two thirds. Some reports of two day totals over three. Watch how that stays lit up. Also theres very heavy rain coming in around saar towing a campbell and san jose. In the lexington hills, around willow glenn, evergreen and santa clara, that is some of the strongest cells right there. The key is the low is getting closer to us and enhancing the rainfall rates. A little isolated areas continue to move there. This is two forecasts. One south of San Francisco. The other to the north. Walnut creek getting good rain. That stretches back over to bay point, concord and also Pleasant Hill. Its been going, going, going in brentwood and antioch and oakley it is letting up a teeny bit on the back edge of that. From milpitas back over to fremont and down to san jose, that looks to be the prime time. All the way into the Santa Cruz Mountains. Storm tracker picked up heavy rain around campbell. That has moved off to the east. It is cooler. North bay, not much rain. Some general areas of rain. I think this afternoon you will get pretty good buildups. 60s on the temps. What do you say, sal . I mean, 580, 680, 24 . What do you want to start with. Were going to start in the east bay, steve. Things are gotten a little better since you mentioned that the rain has moved through for some of these commutes. At the bay bridge, you can see the traffic is backed up but looking a lot more like normal this morning. 20, 25minute delay if youre in the cash lanes before making it on to the bridge. Were looking at interstate 880 in oakland. The traffic here is not bad. It is a little slow after the coliseum heading up north. 680 southbound through Pleasant Hill and walnut creek is slow. Also slow through highway 4. We also see the south bay commute. All of the freeways are filling in. Especially highway 85. It is slow from 101 into cupertino. All of the freeways are beginning to slow. Thats because as steve mentioned, the rain is moving through as you drive through. Earlier this morning, we did have a deadly crash on 580 westbound on 580 near the Oakland Harrison street address. Lets go to reporter alex savidge who is live on the scene. Alex. Reporter good morning, sal. We can tell you that the chp on scene investigation has wrapped up here. All of the southbound lanes heading towards the 24 interchange are back open to traffic. Things moving along at a good pace this morning. It was a much different scene a short time ago. We are now learning more about what happened in this area. We understand now there were two separate crashes and two pedestrians who were struck bypassing cars. We will show you video here. One of those people was hit and killed. The second person was treated for major injuries and is now hospitalized. Now, these two separate accidents Chain Reaction crashes happened about 4 30 this morning. Again, in the westbound lanes of 580 just past harrison street. There was an initial crash that involved a couple of cars. One of the people involved got out of their car and thats when they were hit by another passing car on the freeway. And then a short time later, in this exact same spot, there was a second crash. And, again, the same scenario played out. A person hopped out of their car. One of the people involved in the accident got out of their car and they were struck by another car. We want to take a moment to remind people especially in adverse weather and at night, stay in your vehicle if at all possible when youre in a collision. Call 911. If you can make it off the freeway to talk to the other party, that is the best option. The freeway is no means the best spot to be, especially at night and when it is raining. Reporter and the chp says in all likelihood the wet weather early this morning likely played a role in the two separate crashes. There was heavy rain in oakland at the time of the accidents. Now, all of the drivers involved in those two crashes, including the drivers that struck the pedestrian, they all remain at the scene. They are being cooperative here in the investigation. So the chp is not searching for anyone involved in these accidents. Again, one person was killed. A second person was struck and left with major injuries. We dont have any information on either of those two victims from the chp. But, again, dave, you had two separate crashes out here this morning. All of the lanes of 580 were blocked for about an hour this morning. Again, as you can clearly see behind us, traffic is back open this morning after this investigate. Alex savidge, westbound along 580. Thank you. The time is now 7 06. Happening today, the Santa Clara ValleyWater District will host a Community Meeting tonight talking about upgrades at the anderson dam that could help prevent flooding in the future. That work is part of the seismic retrofitting of the anderson dam. The district wants to rebuild the dam. That will take years. The Ground Breaking isnt scheduled until 2021. Officials say the plan to make the concrete spillway higher and also increase the size of the outlet pipe. The outlet to this reservoir was built in 1950. It is not a very large outlet. It cant release water very fast. Now, the Public Meeting will start at 6 00 tonight at the Morgan Hill Community center. But the Water District isnt the only one taking action after the recent flooding. San jose is creating a Flood Warning system and talk about building temporary flood walls along coyote creek. Thousands of California Storm victims can start getting help from the federal government there.

The arm twisting and deal making on capitol hill in washington will reach a fever pitch today. Republicans are trying to push through a repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care act. Now, the problem for President Trump and the republican leaders, its not democrats. Its getting enough republicans on board and it seems like they still have a ways to go. Republican leaders in congress are relying on President Trump to help close the deal. He was on capitol hill yesterday. But some republicans are still unconvinced. I get the political pressure and the timing. But if you vote for something that results in a bad product, thats the issue. I hope we get it right. American people will remember who crippled the Health Care System in the country. Y. Well, today marks seven years since the passage of president obamas health care overhaul, the Affordable Care act. Jerry brown will be joining former Vice President joe biden and nancy pelosi and other democrats for an event in washington to mark that anniversary.

Plus it was once americas Largest Department store. Now sears is warning that it could soon shut down completely. When we return, the retailers attempt to slash a billion dollars in operating costs. We have slow traffic in the east bay. The marin county. Also the south bay. But we do have some improvement. I will tell you why we think that is happening. Well, theres some areas that get a few breaks in the clouds. Some getting heavy rain, especially around hayward and out towards livermore and back towards san jose. We will take a closer look at that coming up. More disappointing news from the big retailers this morning. Pam cook has that in todays money business. Unfortunately we are talking about the retailers once again not doing well. Payless shoes reportedly filing for bankruptcy as soon as next week. Plans to close at least 400 stores as it reorganizes. Bbs stock dropped 46 after telling Bloomberg News that it would focus on online sales. And sears continues to struggle and warns it may not be able to stay open. Sears is taking steps to cut costs by a billion dollars. It was once the largest retailer in the country. After years of losing money, sears executives announced there is substantial doubt about the companys ability to continue. Back in january, it sold the craftsman tool brand to raise money and announced it would close 150 stores. We will continue to watch sears. It allows people to trade and invest in valuable artwork even if you dont have millions to buy it. The numbers are down right no. Not a live look at the big board. I can let you know that the dow jones is down about 82,000 to 20,585. The nasdaq and the s p 5 run are slipping as well. Investors and Fund Managers may be feel more cautious. The dow jumped 13 since President Trump was elected. Now 34 of the Financial Experts surveyed say stocks as a whole are overvalued. That is the highest percentage in the 17year history of that survey. Many investors were incouraged by the promises to slash taxes and roll back regulation on Big Companies. So far no progress on that since the president took office. A new survey also shows 20 of all americans do not have a single dime saved. The bankrate. Com survey says half of all americans do save but not enough to meet the suggested 10 of your income. 38 say they have too many other expenses. 16 say they just havent started saving. Surprisingly households making less than 50,000 a year are twice than likely to have the suggested amounts of savings. Interest rates have played a part in that. You havent been awarded. No reason to save if im trying to make money. Now that Interest Rates will start going up, maybe more people will be inclined to put money in a savings account. Thank you, pam. The time is 7 17. Lets get you to where you need to go. Sal, youre watching the south bay, i know. Yeah. It has been raining there, dave and gasia. Yeah. When it rains, the traffic slows down. Lets start off with the south bay and look at 280 through downtown san jose. The traffic will be slowing down. In fact all of the south bay freeways look pretty thick right now as you drive through the area. 85 and 101 are also slow getting into that area. It looks like it is raining pretty hard on the san mateo bridge and near it. Our camera is wet and traffic will be slow. Over to the peninsula. By the way, on the peninsula, 280 and 101 are both slow. 101 is getting very thick by the airport heading up to the city. This is 880 in oakland. A little drier in oakland. On 880, traffic will be moderate. Going the other way, hayward to union city and fremont, that traffic will be slow all the way down. Bay bridge toll plaza is backed up for a 15 to 20minute delay. 7 18. Lets bring steve in with details on the weather. Sal, you and i could do an hour show. Yeah. Lets to talk about it. Lets get to it. Some areas to the north not getting rain yet. Youre closer to the spin in the atmosphere that ill show you coming up here. Nice rain here in san lorenzo. It wont stop. Rain boots in tow. That is probably a good idea. A good salesman going through. San leandro, alameda, you can see Castro Valley and also hayward. It keeps going. San leandro. Hayward has been picking up good rain. Here is another band moving through. Thats the key. They keep rolling along. James hampton says we got over two inches in oak springs in orinda. How about that. Here are my totals from midnight. I believe you, james. Thank you for that. Focusing on orinda, watch how the same scenario unfolds here. Rain and rain and you get a break and still rain going through right now. Ill try to find the areas where i pinpoint the rain is right now. The key though is see the low spinning right here. Some of this is enhancing towards central and southern california. But theres a little spin right there. Right there. Watch it. That is taking aim more at the north bay. I think thats why later late morning, early afternoon, i would expect things to really pop up. Especially if we get breaks in the clouds. Yesterday it was all out to the valley. Concord, walnut creek, pittsburg, highway 4 getting rain. Some of that is heavy as well. Might get an enhancement over by diablo. For sure livermore over to pleasanton and back into hayward. It keeps going and going. So 580. 880 as well. Heavy rain from 880 down to highway 92. And its been a rainy night into morning for much of brentwood, highway 4, oakley and antioch and another little band coming through. But the key, the mainak test has been in the last hour or so from about milpitas to the East San Jose foothills right back into san jose, campbell, saratoga and into the Santa Cruz Mountains. There are breaks showing up around santa cruz ill get out of the way. Get out of the way. Youre getting a break right now. Still cells off shore that have to move through. A few 40s here. San rafael and novato. Much cooler air is spilling in. As the westerly on shore breeze increases, you have the systems coming in. We will get steep lapse rates. You take the moisture and vertical development. This looks good for us for thunderstorm activity. The sere a the snow is getting going. There is a Winter Weather advisory until 6 00. And things are quiet in the north bay for now. Look how things are picking up off of the mendocino coast. That is a sign of things to come later. 60s on the temps under a mostly cloudy pattern. The valley is your best opportunity. We get a break on thursday. Friday, another system. Saturday looks okay. Sunday morning looks okay. Sunday night, monday, more rain. Okay, steve. All right, steve. Thank you. 7 21. A 14yearold girl says she was raped by two classmates at a maryland campus. More reports about why this case is part of the National Immigration debate. The alleged rape of a 14 yearold girl in a high school in maryland has become part of the National Debate on immigration. Fellow students jose monato and Henry Sanchez are charged with raping the girl in a bathroom last week in rockland, maryland. Both suspects are from Central America and have been in the country for less than a year. The alleged rape occurred just weeks after a City Council Woman introduced legislation to make rockland a sanctuary city. Part of the reason that the president has made illegal immigration and crackdown such a big deal is because of tragedies like this. If convicted, both suspects could get life in pr
