with this. this won't clear any time soon. let's talk about the solano county commute. 80 westbound. you can see traffic moving along well. no problems in the east shore freeway and getting down to the mcarthur maze. it's still light though some of the outside lanes are getting full. the lobbying effort is heating up for new gun control laws. the president now said he is willing to consider expanded background checks for gun buyers. as doug reports, activists still face an uphill battle. >> reporter: the president said he is even willing to call congress back to town if both sides close in on a gun control deal. marine 1 with a late night landing at the white house. the president and the first lady returning to washington after a very long day. spending time in both dayton and el paso, meeting victims, first responders and hospital staff and the president apparently

the nra sent us this response to the congress ma'am's town hall saying in part the nra welcomes calls to address the root causes of horrible acts of violence that have happened in the country. unfortunately, anti gun politicians are focused on scoring political points by pushing legislation that only restricts the rights of law abiding americans. tonight we will take a look at mass shootings in america. we will look at current gun laws, mental health and what lawmakers doing to prevent more mass shootings. we hope you join us for a ktvu special report, gun guns in america. that's tonight at 10:30. more than 100 bay area women are flying out of oakland in two hours to kick off the civil rights tour. highlights include birmingham's 16th baptist church, a trip to group called

northbound 101 before highway 85. between bailey road and 85. these are pictures tweeted by the san jose fire department and the pictures just say it all. look at all this. look at these cars on fire. we have confirmation from chp that there has been a death involved in this crash. this is northbound 101 just before 85 and the entire direction northbound 101 is closed. this is another picture, just -- i mean just a horrible looking scene. the fire department is out there with several units. we have a crew on the way. we will let you know more but this is going to have a major effect on your drive northbound 101. it is so early in the morning that we haven't seen it yet. this is going to be backing traffic up soon from morgan hill. it's not doing it yet but it'll do it at some point if they don't open those lanes and probably won't be able to because when there is a fatal accident it takes them a while to do the investigation as well. first of all they have to put the fire out and then they will do the investigation.

probably bottom out on friday and then the system scoots through on saturday and then with a rebound on sunday. kempfield coming down. palo alto 80 and san jose from 78 to 75 and that's the source of our cooldown. there are two systems but that's the main one. the low dropping down. doesn't have a lot going for it but it's starting to tap in to the moisture. not much there but look at the bottom end of the system. see the moisture starting to move in possibility. maybe late friday, saturday could get rain out of that. advance of that there's plenty of low clouds. the sierra was on the lee side yesterday. reno, carson city, topaz lake. that is being pushed off more toward the east due to a west southwest flow. that will do it and there's no doubt about it a delta breeze. 50's on the water temperatures. bodega bay. that the cold. san francisco 57. what's the temperature in downtown 57. see how that works in berkeley

57 as well. mill valley 51. more 60's down toward santa clara. east bay temperatures. truckee at 45. the monsoon moisture which was all over las vegas, continues its trek toward the east. more so now that high is moving and the low is beginning to make its move inland. that push itself out of the way. look for temperatures to be on the cooler side here. below average for this time of year. it's a cooler pattern and will take news to saturday. low clouds, sunny and breezy and watch here to the north. just -- may fine tune this more on saturday morning. right there. maybe a little splash and dash early, early saturday. santa rosa, 60's, 70's to mainly low 80's and not much change into saturday, sunny and breezy. >> all right.
