also bad weather on the east coast. the advice of check before you go goes double for today. i'm gasia mikaelian. >> and i'm frank mallicoat in for dave clark. you got in about an hour ago, is it pretty wet out there? the. >> barest of sprinkles. i think i was okay. >> it is going to come. let's check in with the weather man. >> yes. two good lines coming up, stretching from north to south and the santa cruz mountains, so far seems to be one of the areas picking up the most rain. coming down good in newark. yes, it is. you're going to be saying that a lot between now and friday. next system will be thursday and into friday and probably lingering saturday, with a break saturday and sunday. but there are hint that's next week could be wet as well. maybe more towards southern california but that is next week. this will be a morning event and then the rain comes in.

one initial band is moving off to the east county. and into marin county from petaluma back to novato, decent cells showing up on radar. right back over lafayette, orinda, oakland hills and back over to sfo, san mateo, you can see how the line is lifting back towards the city now. also in the santa clara valley east of morgan hill. but into the santa cruz mountains and santa cruz proper and the bill low itself will send in a wide variety of active weather. 50s and 60s. this will be the warmest we will be for a while. windy at times. we will get sun breaks later as the front goes through. it looks like a good week for rain. even better for snow once we get started. that won't be until 1:00 p.m. today when the winter storm warning continues today. that is down to 3500 feet by

the time we get to friday, if not lower. for some, it is raining. others, it is not. but the traffic is wet for just about everyone. >> that is true. your windshield wipers need to be on and your headlights have to be on. that is california state law. you can be cited if you don't have your lights on as you're running your windshield wipers. this will be more than the normal drive. usually we have a 30-minute drive. so about 15 minutes. this is a look at highway 4. backed up to antioch. that is slow as well. the key is that everything is slower. the crashes have been coming in. they are been fender benders off to the side. that kind of thing. people are not driving fast enough anymore for there to be serious accidents on most freeways because look how slow everyone is going. there is no real room to get

into a serious crash. westbound bay bridge backed up for another 40-minute delay. today won't be a good driving today. commute that's are usually light are going to be slow. and in the south bay, we do have slow traffic getting into that west valley. so the traffic is feel willing the effects of the rain across the bay area. and that includes of course the bay bridge. that's where leigh martinez is live right now at the toll plaza. good morning, leigh. >> reporter: good morning. it actually is not as bad as it was in the last hour. i almost thought of taking the hood off here but it is probably safer if i keep it on. the rain is coming down just lighter. as you said, westbound lanes are pretty backed up. the carpool lanes are going by fine. if you take a look at some of the cars that are in that slow traffic, their windshield wipers are not going as fast. just periodically. that shows you that rain is

coming down lighter. we have video from earlier. that rain was coming down much heavier. i noticed and my photographer noticed it as well, it felt like much bigger rain drops coming down. we did have more wind activity. so we definitely had more of a stronger band in the last hour. it has lightened up at least over here at the bay bridge toll plaza. again, it is coming down light. as you come back out here live, you can take a look at the slow traffic that is coming down here going westbound. again, everyone has their lights on, as you mentioned. it is still dark out here. as sal mentioned, you should have your lights on if you have your windshield wipers on. everyone in the slower traffic has them on periodically going across the road. so we still have rain coming down but lighter than it was in the last hour. >> wipers on, hoodie up. well done. leigh martinez out there for

us. this morning, president trump has replaced rex tillerson as the secretary of state. the president made the announcement this morning saying he will nominate mike pompeo to take over as the secretary of state. an aide to tillerson says that tillerson was asked to step aside on friday and he returned back from a trip early. tomorrow will mark one month since 17 people were shot and killed at stoneman douglas high school in parkland, florida. tomorrow will also be the first coordinated national demonstration in support of gun control. organizers of the women's march are calling for students and staff to walk out of their classrooms at 10:00 tomorrow morning for 17 minutes. one minute for each of the people killed in the florida school shooting. students across the country are expected to participate. and as they are going to participate, many here in the bay area are making plans to be

students who walk out tomorrow will not be disciplined but they will have to complete the work they miss during the unexcused absence. while some school districts are clearly discouraging students from leaving campus tomorrow, many districts are actually supporting tomorrow's actions and making accommodations to make sure that students who leave campus are safe. students are planning to walk out of class at 10:00 tomorrow morning at a number of schools all across the bay area and across the country. >> thank you, alex. straight to our question of the day. we've been asking you, should students be disciplined for walking out tomorrow. 25% of you say yes. 75% of you say no. keep letting us know what you think by voting on ktvu.com and twitter and leave comments on facebook. up next, what it reveals so searches by the san francisco police department. president trump talks border security in his first

racism. if he stopped bidding people once and for all against each. >> reporter: his purpose for the trip, to see the prototypes of the border wall. immigration was his most prominent campaign issue and the white house sees this as an important visit. >> the president campaigned on this. talked about it extensively. and he is the president. this is something that he is not going to back away from. >> reporter: but the animosity between the state and the president is crystal clear. the justice department is suing california over new law that's are to thwart immigration. ongoing clash that will get an intense focus today. this trip isn't just about immigration though. the president will meet with u.s. marines in california and he will attend a fundraiser in los angeles. in washington, doug luzader, fox news. warriors head coach steve kerr joined two bay area

county airport has had good rain. also out to contra costa county, we've had band that's have rotated through that are moderate to heavy from moraga back over to emryville, oakland, san leandro, berkeley. on the pence larks a general rain but it looks steady. highway 1, there may be a break in some of the clouds. the santa cruz mountains, it is really picking up. that's where some of the totals are at the highest. temperatures continue to be on the mild side for the next couple of days. in fact what what we're looking at -- what we're looking at is a very low snow level. and my computer is stuck. there we go. thank you. thank you. redwood estates almost an inch and a half. felton over an inch of rain. cazadero, over an inch. kent field almost two-thirds. clearlake a third. orinda has now picked up a third of an inch. there is the source of our possible miracle march maker. at least part of it. as this system sends in a lot of bands of rain and eventually

cold air with mountain snow is on the way. very robust certificately breeze will be with us throughout the morning once the front goes through. there is a back else but it will take a long time to get there. then another series of these systems. it looks good for the mountains for the weekend. should get a break for the weekend. and then next monday and tuesday, another system coming in. might favor central and southern california but too far away. 50s and 60s on the temps. frank, i know you're going to love the snow by the time we can clear it out of here but that won't be for a while. >> i've already had my ski trip for the year. how about golf? not so good this week. >> yeah. heavy stuff isn't coming down yet. >> well, we need it. >> got it. >> thank you, steve. 7:49 is the time. the fate of hundreds of future families hang in the balance after a malfunction at the pacific fertility center in san francisco. we will explore what steps are being taken after thousands of

>> welcome back to mornings on 2. there's green on the screen. that usually means we're in the midst of a storm. yellows in there as well. intense over the bay area right now. we will get an update on that. to your right you can see the bay bridge kind of socked in. so is san francisco. so as coop would say, slow your roll if you're heading out the door today. well, hundreds of hopeful

parents are waiting for word on the fate of their future family after learning that thousands of frozen eggs and embryos may have been damaged in san francisco. joining us now is fox medical team dr. mike. thank you so much for joining us. it is a heart breaking topic to talk about. but what are we learning first of all from this as far as this happening? it happened also across the country from us. mechanical failure, human error. how likely is this to happen again? >> well, pam, as i teach medical students at the university of pennsylvania where i'm at, the bottom line, medicine can be the most wonderful thing in the world but it cans also have life and death consequences. this is one of the tragedies where, one, we have to find out exactly what happened. now, it is one of two things, pam. it is either mechanical failure or human error or a combination. and just like with a plane crash, we need to investigate

exactly what happened and make sure that it never ever happens again. one of the ways to do that is to build in redundancy. redundancy is already there. but something led to a breakdown in not just one but two different locations. >> and can the clinics be held accountable? what recourse do these families have? for some of the women that might have been their only viable eggs are now gone. >> well, look, there's the legal option. and i'm sure that that will be taking place. unfortunately that doesn't solve the problem. now, in speaking with several of our fertility experts where i'm at, number one, it's never 100% that you're going to be successful. on a good day. but what their recommendations are would be to go ahead and go

forward because, one, it will be very hard to know which embryos, which eggs, which tissue was damaged by a higher temperature. and so it is very possible that things may work out. but, look, the legal system will come in and take a hard look at this. but that -- that aside, what we can't do is change the past. what we can do is work on the future so that this never ever happens again. that is all we can do to remedy this. my heartfelt concerns and prayers go out to family. i have two children at home and believe me, i feel the pain. >> do you think the families -- there are families suing in cleveland. not sure about here in the bay area. is that a lawsuit that would be allowed to go forward? i mean, as a doctor, have you seen this having legs in court?

>> well, i'm not a lawyer. and luckily knock on wood, i don't spend much time in courtrooms. but my understanding is that families sign contracts. and the contracts in some cases -- again, i'm not an expert in this -- will stipulate that things can go wrong. it is not 100%. what i would do if i were a family that was affected by this, i would seek legal counsel to get the best advice. but there are issues in terms of contractual agreements and things and all of that. as a practicing physician, i worry about people. that's, pam, what i'm worried about. these are families that have suffered a loss. but maybe not. and so my advice to them, if you're out there listening, one, is to talk to your fertility expert. see how they would proceed.

and be strong and go forward. that's all we can do. >> yeah. >> in life. that's all we have. >> right. and we know these fertility clinics are really caring about the families. we know they're going to work on trying to make sure this never happens again as well. dr. mike from our fox medical team, thank you so much for joining us on that. go back to frank and gasia. >> pam, you're wonderful. and love san francisco. love it. >> thank you, dr. mike. 7:57. we're following breaking news in washington. what we're learning about the departure of secretary of state rex tillerson. and the wet weather is not making for an easy drive at all. as we take a live look at san rafael, central san rafael. it is raining and traffic is slow from novato. and the doctor of rape is making a house call this morning for most of the bay area. good totals so far. and we're just getting started.

there have also been 39 canceled flights, 62 delays because of the weather here and the weather back there on the east coast. a busy morning. we're here to get you through it. thank goodness steve paulson is as well. this is the rain that we've been talking about. the rain we were hoping for back in february. >> just getting started. the whole week looks active. mike, good morning. >> good morning. >> we have rainfall. we will get the colder air in here. thunderstorm possibility and rainbow weather will be with us. bob cooper from tracy this morning as you can see. not bad. thank you for that, bob. i think that's a sign of things to come here going forward over the next few days. good morning, steve, in beautiful sonoma. we have 56 warm degrees. i show half an inch of rain in the gauge so far. there will be more than that coming in. good rain in santa cruz mountains. santa rosa, sonoma county airport at almost an inch.

pacifica, three quarters. san jose state meteorology department almost half an inch of rain. san francisco, .04. alameda, shy of a third of an inch. there is a ways to go. moderate to heavy rain. the bands have gone through other areas but they're picking up. sliding south to north. it looks like calistoga and st. helena may be getting good rain there. but right there, back towards american canyon, over into sonoma county, napa county, right back into highway 80 corridor. and now there was good rain coming in across el cerrito, san pablo, over to orinda and lafayette and the 680 corridor. and then a general rain takes us into the peninsula and also the santa cruz mountains really beginning to pick up along highway 9,/17. the source will be this parent low which will send in first the front and then the colder unstable air. 50s and 60s. i don't think the lows have

changed at all. a blustery day when the cold air arrives. then get ready for possible thunderstorm activity. this low is not going anywhere until at least friday. 50s and 60s on the temps. 8:03. do we have any good news or is it just bogged down. >> it is not as bad as it was earlier. >> good. >> steve. but we still have a loot of issues out there. we do have rain coming in marin and novato and san rafael. you can see the freeway down there. driving into marin via the richmond bridge, you will see slow traffic here. and the windshield wipers are going. make sure that the headlights are on when the wipers are on. that's the state law. this is a look at the commute on westbound approach to the macarthur maze. it seems like it let up a little bit. as i look at the list of chp, we've had easily three times as many incidents as on a normal morning. a lot of them are just fender benders that end up getting moved to the shoulder. sometimes they do block lanes for a bit.

just be careful. move is hydroplaning and fishtailing out of control. this is a look at westbound 24. traffic is going to be slow as you drive through the lafayette area. and 880 is slow as well as you drive through. you can see traffic is a little bit better. san mateo and dumbarton bridges are slow. as the weather moves through, you will have to slow down. look at the maps here. there is a lot of red on the maps. commuters are feeling the effects of rain across the area. and that includes the bay bridge where leigh martinez is right now. leigh. >> reporter: yeah. we're getting lucky because i'm not feeling the rain right now. i'm going to take the hood off right now. i can see a lot better. it doesn't appear to be raining at the bay bridge toll plaza right now. if you look at the commute here, we have the carpool lanes doing perfectly fine. we do have a very slow crawl coming off of the ramp on the other lanes here. it doesn't look like everyone is using their windshield

wipers. the roads are still really wet. take is slow. the heaviest rain was earlier this morning. we have video from the 6:00 hour much that's when we saw -- i would still call it moderate rain but coming down much heavier. we have the bigger size rain drop it's felt like coming down. and we had a lot more wind. in the 7:00 hour, it definitely lightened up for us. again, we still had rain but it was pretty light. and everyone who was driving, their windshield wipers were going on periodically. if you come out here live, we have a little bit more wind. the darker clouds are over on the east bay it appears. lighter going into san francisco. if you look at the sky. but, yeah, at the moment, it doesn't feel like it is raining. so i think we're pretty lucky here if you're coming into the toll plaza right now. >> leigh martinez, thank you. following breaking news out of washington from the white house that president trump has replaced rex tillerson as secretary of state. the president made at announcement this morning

saying he will nominate cia director mike pompeii to take over as secretary of state. this came hours after tillerson returned from washington from a trip to africa that he cut short. the president has not explained the reason that tillerson was fired and tillerson want today stay on the job. this morning as he was leaving the white house, the president talked about his reasons for replacing tillerson. >> rex and i have been talking about this for a long time. we got along actually quite well. but we disagreed on things. when you look at the iran deal. i think it is terrible. i guess he thought it was okay. i wanted to either break it or do something and he felt a little bit differently. so we were not really thinking the same. >> the president said he wishes tillerson well and believes tillerson will be much happier now. right now president trump is on air force one flying to california for his first trip

to the state since taking office. doug luzader has more on the president's visit. >> reporter: this is a big trip for the president. his administration is battling california in court. so right now tensions are boiling over. this is part of the welcome that president trump can look forward to in california. protesters, including illegal immigrants and elected officials who don't want him there today. >> he's not welcome. [cheering and applause] >> trump is not welcome here. he would be welcome -- he would be welcome as our president if he stopped his racism. if he stopped bidding people once and for all against each other. >> reporter: but the real draw for the president is this: prototypes for his proposed border wall. 30-foot-tall sections that he will see firsthand today. immigration was his first prominent campaign issue and the white house sees this as an important visit. >> the president campaigned on this. talked about it extensively. he is the president.

this is something that he is not going to back away from. >> reporter: but the animosity between the state and the president are clear. that coupled with sanctuary city policies have put the golden state and white house at logger heads, something that will get an intense focus today. this trip is not only about immigration. he will meet with u.s. marines in california and attend a fundraiser in los angeles. doug luzader, fox news. the time is 8:08. ann coulter will be in the bay area tonight. the reason that mountain view police say they are increasing the number of officers at the event. students across the country and here in the bay area planning to take part in a massive walkout tomorrow protesting gun violence and calling on lawmakers to take action. we will explain though why some local school districts are warning students about leaving class.

class. good morning. you can see traffic is moving along okay if you are driving on many of these commutes. especially the sunol grade. but there have been a lot of incidents out there. hydroplaning and fishtailing. we will tell you more about that coming up.

>> the time is 8:11.

take a look at your screen. the big story of rain is morning. you can see a lot of green on storm tracker 2. that means that rain is in your neighborhood. that is the green. yellow is heavier rain. we're seeing both. over on the right, the smaller picture through fog and rain, trust me it is the airport. at sfo, they are experiencing dozens of delays. the advice is the same. call and check with your specific airline, what is happening with your specific flight before you head out to the airport this morning. president trump appears to be backtracking on his initial support for a key element in a gun control measure. ers easing off his call to raise the age to 21. he says the issue should be left up to the states. the president says he still supports improved background checks and allowing some teachers to carry concealed weapons. the white house says said that the department led by betty devos will study how to protect schools. president trump has completely caved to the gun lobby.

she added to no one's surprise the president's words of stricter gun laws prove to be hollow. 17 people were killed in parkland, florida one month ago tomorrow. tomorrow will mark the first coordinated national demonstration in support of gun control. organizers are calling for students and staff to walk out of their classrooms at 10:00 in the morning tomorrow for 17 minutes. one minute for each person killed in the florida shooting. students across the country are expected to participate. including many students here in the bay area. and while some school districts are supporting the action, others are not. >> ktvu's alex savidge is in milpitas where district leaders are issuing a warning to students. >> reporter: the superintendent of the milpitas unified school district is warning students who leave class tomorrow for this walk-out that they will be given an unexcused absence and they could potentially face other consequences. superintendent cheryl jordan

said in a statement, leaving campus during school hours to participate in political activity is not a and a responsible way to work for change. she will not condone students taking part in this nationwide wake-out as protesters call on lawmakers to pass stricter gun control measures following last year's massacre at a florida high school. in san ramon, district officials sent out a statement telling students who walk out that they will not be disciplined but they will have to complete the work they miss during this unexcused absence. while some school districts clearly are discouraging students from leaving campus for this demonstration tomorrow, many bay area districts are in fact supporting this action and making accommodations for students who do choose to walk out of class. students are planning to take part in this walk-out at 10:00 tomorrow morning. they will be leaving class for 17 minutes. that's one minute for each of the people killed at the florida high school one month ago.

in milpitas, alex savidge, ktvu fox 2 news. our question of the day, is should students be disciplined for participating in planned walk-outs tomorrow. 24 percent say yes. 76% say no. erica says absolutely not. they're protesting to protect life itself. >> another twitter user says i support them walking out but i understand the need to have some repercussions. it gives the choice more weight, that they would still do it despite the punishment. still they are choosing to skip school. i don't think it is worthy of an overly harsh punishment though. we will keep this question up throughout the morning. let us know what you think by voting on twitter and comment on facebook. the time is 8:15. steve kerr joined two bay area congressmen for a town hall on gun violence. the students directed most questions to coach kerr whose life was changed due to gun

violence in a personal tragedy. his father was shot and killed by terrorists in 1984 when kerr was just 18 years old. coach kerr says he hopes the deadly school shooting in florida last month has dramatically changed the gun control debate. >> for the first time in my life, i feel like there's a movement happening. i truly believe that. i've never felt this way before. but i feel it. but it only happens if the momentum continues. >> congressman and thompson also spoke to the high schoolers as did coach kerr. the congressmen explained that the students hold more power than they realize to influence the work of lawmakers. the time is 8:16. let's check in with sal and a look at the roadways on this wet tuesday morning. >> i would recommend if you could to use bart or public transportation because driving today is not optimal. it is getting a little better now that it is daylight and people can see better and there have been fewer serious

crashes. when you get to the bay bridge, you will be waiting there for another 40 minutes or so. getting on to the span. if you want to take bart, bart has some minor delays, ten minute delays. they had a train that was malfunctioning. somebody was arrested at one of the stations. that caused minor delays. it is also wet. but still 10-minute delays, not too bad considering what the roads are like. this is lafayette. this will be slow getting up to orinda. 880 is very slow driving. as steve has been saying, it may be wet this afternoon. although it won't be as bad. it will still be wet. san mateo bridge and dumbarton bridge is slow. you have a lot of traffic to deal with. minor crash that's have turned into more of like a headache. i see a lot, steve, as people are driving too fast. something happens and then they have to hit the brakes. and in wet weather, your car could fishtail or hydroplane.

>> hydroplane. >> yes. >> when the pavement is dry, sal, i admit, i drive fast. when it is raining, i'm like this. >> slow it down. >> thank you, sal. morning rain and wind. and this afternoon, it will turn more showery in nature but also colder. a lot of fog coming in as the system slides through. the wind has tamed off for some but still there for others. the rain is steady, steady as she goes. it is beginning to stack up here. i will show you totals in a second. scattered showers. possible thunder showers and lowering snow levels heading into tonight and wednesday. looks like thursday afternoon, evening, into friday, the next system. that might linger into saturday. then there is a hint of other system. that may favor central and southern california next week. but that is next week. our good friend marty, good morning, steve. good morning to you. refreshing rain in awesome lacksberg -- harksberg is up to

cerrito, emryville, berkeley, also on the 680 corridor, danville, san ramon to dublin, that intense moderate rain there. over to oakland and alameda. you can see some of that picking up as well. stretches over the bay bridge. then for the santa cruz mountains and santa cruz, watch in the last few. that's why they're getting so much. when that band comes in from the west/southwest, you take the moisture and boy do they get rain. that's why the santa cruz mountains will be way up there on the rain. our system is not going anywhere any time soon but the cold air is. there is a good breeze. watch for maybe a few sun breaks later. now the cold air comes in. that will get the lower snow levels and keep the beat going all the way to friday. this looks like a good setup for us. 50s and 60s on the temps. for the sierra, winter storm warning starts at 1:00 p.m. snow level will be quite high. by the time we get to thursday and friday, it may be down to 3500 feet. >> thank you, steve. a new report surrounding the berkeley police department

now released graphic body camera video of a deadly officer-involved shooting that happened in the city's mission district one week ago. investigators say ten officers fired a total of 99 shots and the suspect who police say was armed was hit more than 20 times. this video and information were released during a contentious town hall meeting last night. police say the gunfire came after a standoff after delgado hid inside the trunk of a parked car that matched the description of a car used in an armed robbery. many at the meeting were angry and shouting at police after watching the video. >> you should be ashamed of your officers. bad training. look at that. how terrible could you be. it is disgusting to our community that you are here

from l.a. >> police say they found the suspect's gun in the trunk of the car. they also say body camera video and a witness showed delgado fired that gun before officers started firing. they also say you can hear someone speaking in spanish to the suspect on cell phone video from the witness. the police chief william scott was at the meeting. he told the crowd the investigation into the shooting is still in the preliminary phase. he also said he regrets any time that there is a loss of human life. a new berkeley police review commission report says african-american and latino drivers are stopped more than white drivers. it also says that african- americans are six times more likely to experience use of force. the report says racial disparities were calculated using three indicators. they include the number of pedestrian and traffic stops, the number of searches after the stops, and the percent of people from each racial group arrested or cited after being stopped. the berkeley city council is scheduled to discuss the report at their meeting tonight. four home invasion robbery

suspects in the north bay are in custody this morning. five others are not. the sonoma county sheriff's office says the robbers were looking for marijuana when they broke into three homes near petaluma around 3:00 yesterday morning. the police sergeant spotted the group of robbers leaving the area in a white minivan and a silver car. that led to a chase that ended near the 101. five people ran out of the van. one of the individuals was caught. police began their search and a shelter in place was ordered for nearby residents. three suspects in the silver car were arrested near a costco but one woman was able to escape. more on the message one woman's family says she would want to share about veterans in need. a conservative pundit whose speech was called off last year will now speak at another bay area venue.

>> 8:29. it is a rainy tuesday morning, just as steve said it would be. here we have live storm tracker 2. green is rain. yellow is intense rain. we're seeing both of those blanketing the bay area. on the right we see a picture of sfo. a handful of delays here. 39 canceled flights right now. 62 delays. this is because of weather we're seeing in the bay area, which is bad for us. but certainly on the east coast, i think the third big storm in a week and a half is hitting there. it is a busy morning. thanks for being with us. i'm gasia mikaelian. >> i'm mike mibach. even with the delays, it makes me want to get on a plane and

head off to arizona for spring training. >> i knew there was something. >> that sounds good. >> sometimes you have to work. >> sometimes we have to work. but it is actually clouding up down there. they've had some 80 degree weather. but it looks like a lot of cloud cover and cooler if you're heading down towards phoenix, scottsdale or mesa. it is a gray, rainy day at sfo for sure. for most of the bay area. the system came in as advertised. took a while to get here. after yesterday's sunshine and warm temps, morning rain. it is raining cats and dogs and kittens and puppies. there you go. i believe she is in the richmond district. fog so thick that you can't -- okay. i'll feed you. very well done. derrick, was that you? very well done. we have rainfall coming in. orinda, a third of an inch. glenn helen, a half of an inch. windsor approaching an inch of rain. felton over an inch of rain.

redwood estates over an inch and a half. santa cruz mountains, some locations over two inches of rain. the system will continue to drag across. napa was late to the party. it is here now. the rain is picking up for them. look at this line from walnut creek back to ordain and berkeley. sal will have more on that. from sanville to san ramon and back down to dublin as well. then we find a good band fremont over to sunnyvale and the peninsula and into cupertino and right back into the santa cruz mountains and also santa cruz. that is setting up the stage for a very rainy day for them and heavy totals. the system will slowly drag across. then the cold air filters in this afternoon. the breeze continues. look at that out of the south. gusts to 35, 40, some of the higher elevations. this will be the pattern off and on all week, maybe into friday and saturday. snow will be on the go. mainly rain or wind up there

right now. the cold air has not arrived but the pattern looks good for rain and snow for the next seven days. 8:32. hello, sal. >> hello, steve. i'm looking at this rain that you're talking about and it is an effect on the commute. it has been slow all morning long, trying to get to the tunnel. at the bay bridge, not raining it he moment. it looks like it has stopped. but traffic will be slow approaching the bridge. you also see slow traffic. so the rain is just basically making it slower. already slow on a normal day. san mateo and dumbarton bridge commutes are slow as well. 101, 380. check out 101 for example. if you're driving to san francisco, 101 is backed up all the way from san mateo. there is not one break in the action. look at this.

all the way up into san francisco. that is one long commute. and it is to be expected in this weather. but i just don't want you to be surprised. at 8:33, let's go back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. we're following breaking news out of white house. president trump has fired rex tillerson. the president said he will nominate cia director mike pompeii to take over as seth of state. the announcement came hours after tillerson returned to washington from a trip to africa that he cut short. an aide to tillerson says the president has not explained the reason that tillerson was fired and that tillerson want today stay on the job. the spokesman for the ice office in san francisco has resigned. james schwab says the decision is tied to false and misleading statements made by top ranking officials of the trump administration. he says jeff sessions and others falsely claimed that 800 undocumented immigrants escaped arrest because of oakland mayor libby schaaf's warning to the public about the four-day
