it is nearly 6:00. we begin this hour with some breaking news on the bay bridge. kpix 5's anne makovec joins us live with the latest on the search for someone who may have fallen in the water. >> reporter: a woman. and the chp says it has gotten several reports of a woman who was soaking wet and may have been flagging down traffic. they are trying to review videotape from this area here in the bay bridge to try to figure out if that indeed may be true but a woman fell off of the bike path a couple of hours ago. if this woman is not found, the coast guard is sending up another helicopter at daybreak. in the meantime they have a boat in the water. they have officers posted along the shoreline hoping this woman will turn up on her own. it started with a car crash. only one vehicle involved on the eastbound lanes of the bridge. officers approached the car and they found one passenger there at the car. and they saw two other people walking away.
6:01 am
they had jumped a railing on to the bike path. when an officer approached them -- >> we believe that the driver jumped over the rail and was holding from the railing and as the officer was about 50 yards way, she began to slip and fall. >> reporter: and it was a drop of about 75 feet into the water which is about 50 to 60 degrees. they have been tracking her likely direction and questioning the other passengers as to her state of mind. we'll let you know if she is found. live at the bay bridge, anne makovec, kpix 5. thank you. let's check traffic with liza. >> it did have an early impact on the morning commute. the bay bridge metering lights were switched on earlier than usual this morning because of this situation we have been following on the bay bridge. now, as it stands right now, the bay bridge backup extends to the foot of the maze.

high 80s inland and i have your full forecast coming up in four minutes. drivers on san francisco's market street are still trying to figure out what they can do and can't do. it's going to take a while. yesterday some new rules went into effect banning turns between 3rd and 8th streets. signs are up but they didn't really help. the idea is to make the intersection safer for pedestrians. our mike sugerman asked a police chief about the plan. listen closely. >> westbound you can do a straight shot. >> reporter: i think it's the other way around. that's eastbound. that's westbound. >> right. >> reporter: you can't turn coming this way. >> right. so whoever' westbound you get directed off -- so when you're westbound you get directed off between 3rd and 10th -- i'm sorry, 3rd and 8th. >> who's on first! mike tried his hand at directing traffic. he says most drivers were following the new rules. >> you live by there right? >> i do. and it's impossible because once you get on market you can't make a left-hand turn so you have to go all the way
6:15 am
down. and now you can't make a right- hand turn to get on market. so you have to go way down the second and way down the ninth. all the side streets will be cluttered. walk, if you are around union square just walk. >> a big fine, too. >> that's why i love living in the suburbs. >> people walking today, right? >> crazy day for you today. >> yes. it's been an unusual day. we have had that problem at the bay bridge and now we are just getting word of an overturned big rig accident. i don't have a map of the accident it just came in from the chp. but reportedly all lanes of westbound 580 are shut down at this hour. just beyond isabel and livermore so the chp is on their way to this accident in livermore. it had already been slow any way from beyond the 205 interchange in patches heading to and through the livermore valley. the chp just tweeted a message to the drivers heading toward the bay bridge to place stay focused on the road. you will see lots of chp units near the span this morning

following an overnight accident and a coast guard search for someone who may have fallen into the water. kpix 5's anne makovec is live on the scene. and we'll have another update from her in just a few minutes. in terms of traffic impact, all lanes remain open at the bay bridge at this hour. we saw earlier backups at the bay. we switched on the metering lights much earlier. near the dumbarton bridge there's a grass fire burning and has shot down at least one lane of the eastbound bayfront expressway between willow and university. expect some delays getting towards the dumbarton bridge as a result of this. not too far from there at the san mateo bridge, westbound traffic still steady so that's a nice drive for the commute out of hayward bound for foster city. smooth on west 580. more delays on the richmond/san rafael bridge and this morning a brief delay approaching the

6:18 am
so we will remain on the dry side today. as the slow gradually slides northeast, high pressure quickly fills in the from desert southwest. end resulted is our temperatures are going to be very robust by friday. 90 sacramento. mid-90s fresno. merced, modesto and manteca mid- 90s. low 80s in truckee where currently it's 43 degrees. 74 monterey bay. our numbers approaching 70s in pacifica and in san francisco. mid-70s across alameda, el cerrito into oakland and berkeley. low 80s in mountain view. upper 70s to low 80s across the santa clara valley. mid-80s to the east and to the north. and then we have 102 in our hottest spots of our inland areas by saturday. frank? >> roberta, thanks. city of santa clara says it's already lost more than $40,000 because of thieves who are stealing water meters. the city says it's happened 36 times in less than a month. always overnight in front of businesses. investigators believe the meters are being stolen to be sold as scrap metal. they are turning off the
6:19 am
water before they cut the meters off and that requires a special tool. so they either have done this before in other places or they have some knowledge. >> the city is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction. cupertino-based apple helping a small company that's making a new water conserving showerhead. apple's ceo is one of the first investors in nivea and the small company's showerheads have been installed at apple's corporate campus in cupertino. nivea is based in san francisco. water experts in southern california hope thousands of blackballs will help them deal with the drought. >> the balls were dumped into a los angeles reservoir yesterday. plastic shade balls are supposed to work. they float on the water's surface. and in theory they are going to reduce the amount of water that evaporates. >> this is a blend of how engineering really meets common sense. >> we saved a lot of money.
6:20 am
we did all the right things. >> bee reducing evaporation these -- by reducing evaporation these shade balls will keep 300 million gallons from evaporating into the sky to fight the drought. >> the millions of balls cost 36 cents apiece and are expected to last about 10 years. 6:20. it may be off season but the 2015 nba champs are still showing off their stuff. an amazing half court shot from klay thompson on a bike coming your way. good morning, everyone. what does baumgarner and jonathan sanchez have in common? other players have in common? and brandon belt had two home runs at at&t all season. wait until you see what he did last night. straight ahead. >> what's cool about your school? email your nomination to us at coolschools@cbssf.com. we may come and feature your school on the show. we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
