riders shopping in the area. it also has a constant influx of tourists for the first time. and many are unfamiliar with the area as they travel will you museum. police are hoping that this new initiative will deter thefts and robberies which can see an up tick at this time of year. like robberies that have occurred in the past week. now you won't see officers at the desk 24/7. but officers will be assigned to spend part of their shift at the desk. i talked to a writer whose name was michael. he said anything that adds police will be a good thing because he's been attacked while riding before. >> there's a lot of people like mentally not stable on bart. this guy just thought i assaulted him or something. and then i just got knocked out. i got injured pretty bad. >> i don't know the solution but

the opposite direction. 880 south is open but the backup back to 238. this is your northbound commute which is way back in fremont. >> there's no way around this unless you want to swing out to 680 for people coming from fremont let's say. people are headed to the oakland airport stuck in this backup. and it's not going to be cleared for a while. >> 8:00 was the original estimate. we have not received a new estimated time of clearing yet. but i don't see confirmation that the coroner has even arrived at the scene yet. we may be dealing with this for a while. not only do people have to get to the oakland airport. but sometimes i take 880 south to get into san jose. so if you have to head south this morning you still need to leave early. you have city streets to work around it. mission, that stretches from fremont all the way through

union city, and hayward. and there's also hisperian. you can use that to work through hayward and get away from the traffic on the freeway. all lanes closed 880 north between industrial and whipple. your drive time anywhere from 50 minutes to one hour for both directions between 238 and 237. back to the desk now. >> and we're watching weather here and up in the sierra and around the nation. here's a live look from kirkwood where it's around 30 degrees currently. warmer with some snow showers and clouds and fog in the area. a lot of the resorts opening today and many more for thanksgiving. so skiing and boarding for this thanksgiving holiday if you're inclined. >> there's more to come all this weekend too. now thinking about how do you time getting back home because of all the snow. let's start with that right now to give you a feel for what we

past the morning showers. then thursday is great. then into black friday that looks okay for the early part. but overnight into saturday we get dumped on pretty well. and it looks like a wet saturday and lingering into sunday morning it looks like breaking up. so it's going to be more of a scattered shower event it looks like for sunday. let's go into the national perspective real quickly. heavier thunderstorms towards louisiana and mississippi it turns to snow in the great lakes states. how do airports fair? looks pretty good. across the u.s. we had problems in minneapolis that's cleared out. checking everybody out here looking good with all the goose eggs up there. we've got activity going on and no major delays. thanksgiving is nice, black friday the rain will be concentrated in the latter portion of the day starting in the north bay and spreading out. we'll continue to follow this as

tech where veterinarian students will take care of them for the rest of their natural lives. the parredening ceremony takes place this afternoon. >> a lot of people say the election will be a hot topic at the dinner table. >> don't talk about politics. our national correspondent in dc with dinner table diplomacy. >> diplomacy goes a long way here in washington. so when those trump clinton fights break out we ask folks here at the white house where they're getting ready for the inauguration what's your plan? >> just eat a lot of stuffing and not talk about donald trump. we're going to discuss what we're going to buy at black friday. >> i don't talk politics at all? >> never. >> never. >> show compassion and kindness, we hope that will be a good role model. >> i want to get your strategy. this tweet saying trump and obama look like all of us at thanksgiving sitting in awkward silence wishing we were black

out drunk. >> that's probably how it will go down at my family. >> be quiet i don't know. >> you can talk about arts, crafts, love, hugs, but not. >> politics. >> walking into thanksgiving dinner with a family that voted for trump like surprise. >> that's how i typically enter rooms anyways so. >> of course. the most important thing is. >> our family and how they're doing. >> obviously right. you get together for love. >> yes. >> so republican or democrat, trump or clinton, at the end of the day family is family. enjoy your holidays. reporting at a very busy white house i'm national correspondent chance fields. >> just in time for the holiday shopping season the annual report on hazardous toy and is toy safety is out. it's called the trouble the toyland survey. they found toys that were recalled because of lead or batteries or other hazards are still available for sale in online stores.

streets, use mission that takes you from fremont all the way into hayward. southbound lanes are open but there's a big backup because it's attracting a lot of attention. so it's almost jammed from 238. i'll zoom out a little bit you can see the northbound drive time 84 minutes from 237 to 238. you're southbound drive time not as bad. but 39 minutes for the opposite direction there. so a big back up can be expected. i'll let you know when we receive more info from cph. here at the bay bridge we have a backup rolling into san francisco. it's the only bay area bridge clogged up like this. a lot of folks heading in. it's backed up to west grand and speeds pick up across the upper deck. you can also see that roads are slick this morning. so watch your speed, 18 minutes here from the foot of the maze off to fremont street. san mateo bridge not bad. a little crowded but it's moving. it's definitely holiday light. but probably because people are stuck in the heavy traffic in the closure so they haven't made

it over to the san mateo bridge yet. so it's light here. 17 minutes to get from 880 across the bridge and over to 101 in san mateo. >> thank you robin. good morning we're going to start things off giving you a couple of pictures of what's going on here. this is time lapsed for us. there you can see the dark skies. you can watch the showers move on in as we go forward through the period here you see getting dark opens up a little bit. got a little rainbow towards the end doing its magic. we also see the two on the east bay shoreline. what we've got going on is here's another batch of showers across the region. this patch here is where robin is talking about with traffic mess coupled with that here comes some rain and maybe in some cases a little heavier rain for a time. this is spreading to the south and east. these little cells kind of left over business. here's another shot for you out of berkeley showing the east bay shoreline and there we see also

the rainbow making itself known. but you did see the bay bridge shot. that's our future the blue skies. that's what we'll see for today. again noting a little line out here to see another last minute shower across over the peninsula. jumping over the east bay hills, 63 for walnut creek. 64 for concord. down in the south bay numbers may get up to about 65 or so. 63 for mountain view. but for san jose 65. the same for santa clara. san francisco you'll come in about 60. mission district about 61. most of the peninsula readings are in the lower 60s. redwood city at 61. half-moon bay at 60. although up in the north bay stenson beach a little chillier at 56. 63 for napa and fairfield. looks like black friday is okay for most of the day.
