HIGHS PUSHING TOWARDS THE LOW 80S IN THE VALLEY, MID TO UPPER 70 IN THE FOOTHILLS AND 60S UP AT THE TOP OF A LOOK AT YOUR FORECAST NEIGHBORHOOD BY NEIGHBORHOOD HERE IN ABOUT TEN MINUTES. RIGHT NOW IT IS 502 ERIN HEFT IS IN FOR BRIAN HICKEY MONITORING THE MORNING DRIVE. I SURE AM. AND WE’RE STARTING OUT ON THE CAUSEWAY THIS MORNING, 80 AT WEST CAPITOL. MOVING RIGHT ALONG. IT’S A GREAT MORNING TO BE ON THE ROAD, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE SEEM TO NEED TO GO THROUGH TRACY. BUT TAKE A LOOK. SO OUR SPEED SENSORS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SACRAMENTO VALLEY AND BEYOND AT THE LIMIT THIS MORNING. SAME CAN BE SAID IF WE SHOOT IT DOWN 99 AND FIVE INTO STOCKTON YOU’RE SEEING A LITTLE SLOWING. THAT IS JUST A LANE CLOSURE AS THERE IS SOME CONSTRUCTION ON THE ROAD. ONE LANE IS CLOSED. NOT A BIG DEAL, NOT AN INCIDENT, JUST A LITTLE SLOWING NOW. TRACY TRIANGLE. LIKE I SAID, LOTS OF SLOW AND GO THROUGH THE 205. NO INCIDENTS, NOT EVEN A FENDER BENDER AT THIS POINT, WHICH IS GREAT, BUT WE’RE ALMOST FULLY IN THE YELLOW I 5 TO 5, 80, 22 MINUTES, 205 TO 680 24 MINUTES 17 MINUTES 99 NORTHBOUND MODESTO TO MANTECA AND SACRAMENTO FULLY IN THE GREEN. BACK TO YOU. THANKS SO MUCH, AARON. WELL, RIGHT NOW CREWS IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY ARE CLEANING UP AFTER AN EARLY MORNING HOUSE FIRE. AND THE CREWS ARE CREDITING WORKING SMOKE ALARMS WITH SAVING THE PEOPLE INSIDE. THE FIRE BROKE OUT AT A HOME ON SHOSHONE WAY JUST AFTER 1230 KCRA 3’S MELANIE WINGO IS OUT THERE. THE SCENE NOW WITH WHAT SHE’S FOUND OUT. AND THE FLAMES ARE OUT. FIREFIGHTERS HAVE LEFT THIS STREET, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME, THE WORK CONTINUES ON THE PART OF THE BOARD OF CREWS THAT ARE TRYING TO SEAL OFF THIS HOME. UNFORTUNATELY, TO REPORT, FIVE PEOPLE ARE OUT OF A PLACE TO LIVE RIGHT NOW AFTER THIS EARLY MORNING FIRE. SO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO. SACRAMENTO METRO FIRE SHARING THESE IMAGES WITH US. THIS IS WHAT THE FIRE CREWS HAD TO DEAL WITH WHEN THEY FIRST ARRIVED AT THIS HOME. A HEAVY GARAGE FIRE THAT QUICKLY SPREAD INTO THE MAIN LIVING AREA AND ATTIC SPACE OF THE HOME. FIREFIGHTERS BATTLED THOSE FLAMES, SEARCHED THE HOME, MADE SURE EVERYONE GOT OUT SAFELY. THEY SAY THAT THREE ADULTS AND TWO CHILDREN ALL MADE IT OUT OKAY. THANKS TO WORKING SMOKE DETECTORS IN THE HOME, WHICH WOKE THEM UP. AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE OUT HERE. A LOT OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLES. THE HOME ITSELF. THE CAUSE OF THIS FIRE IS UNDER INVESTIGATION. AND BACK OUT HERE LIVE. NOW THAT FIRE CREWS ARE PROCESSING WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED OUT HERE, THEY WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO REMIND FOLKS THAT SINCE WORKING SMOKE DETECTORS HELPED TO SAVE THIS FAMILY, IT’S A GOOD IDEA IF WE ALL CONSIDER CHANGING THE BATTERIES IN OUR SMOKE DETECTOR. A GOOD TIME TO REMEMBER DOING THAT IS WHEN THE TIME CHANGES FALL BACK TIME THAT’S COMING UP IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. THAT’S A TIME WHERE WE CAN KIND OF THINK ABOUT IT, CHANGE THE BATTERIES IN THOSE SMOKE DETECTORS, AND HOPEFULLY IF THIS TYPE OF SITUATION HAPPENS AT OUR OWN HOMES, WE CAN GET OUT SAFELY AS WELL. REPORTING LIVE IN ORANGEVALE MELANIE WINGO KCRA THREE NEWS GOOD REMINDER RT MELANIE WINGO. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT LIVE REPORT. NOW LET’S TURN TO THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN WITH A LIVE LOOK AT CAPITOL HILL. 21 DAYS NOW. THE SHUTDOWN IS TIED FOR THE SECOND LONGEST IN U.S. HISTORY. DEMOCRATS SAY THEY WANT A FUNDING BILL THAT ADDRESSES MEDICAID CUTS AND EXPIRING AFFORDABLE CARE ACT SUBSIDIES. REPUBLICANS SAY THEY’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT UNTIL DEMOCRATS PASS THEIR FUNDING BILL WITH NO CHANGES. THE SHUTDOWN TIES 130 YEARS AGO, WHEN CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS TRADED ABOUT HALF THE MEDICARE CUTS THAT THEY WANTED FOR A BALANCED BUDGET, THE LONGEST SHUTDOWN EVER IS THE ONE DURING PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S FIRST TERM THAT LASTED 35 DAYS AFTER DEMOCRATS REFUSED TO PAY FOR A BORDER WALL. FLIGHT DELAYS DUE TO AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER SHORTAGES ARE PART OF WHAT CAUSED THAT IMPASSE TO END, AND FOOD BANKS ARE GETTING READY FOR THEIR BUSIEST STRETCH OF THE YEAR. AT A TIME WHEN DEMAND IS SURGING. BUT THIS SEASON, IT’S NOT JUST THE HOLIDAYS DRIVING IT. THERE’S ANOTHER CRISIS. MANY FEDERAL WORKERS WHO ARE NOT GETTING PAID MAY BE TURNING TO FOOD BANKS FOR SOME HELP. AND THERE’S ALSO THE GROWING UNCERTAINTY OF WHETHER OR NOT SNAP BENEFITS ARE GOING TO BE PAID OUT FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER. SACRAMENTO FOOD BANK AND FAMILY SERVICES SAYS THEY ARE READY TO MEET THE DEMAND THROUGH THE REST OF THE YEAR. WE. FRONT LOAD A LOT OF OUR ORDERS THAT ARE COMING FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. ALSO, WE PREPLAN SOME OF OUR OWN ORDERS. THE STATE STEPPED UP WITH GREAT CAL FOOD FUNDING THAT ALLOWS US TO PURCHASE CALIFORNIA GROWN PRODUCTS FOR OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED. SO WE DO FEEL CONFIDENT THAT EVEN WITH RISING DEMAND, WE’LL BE ABLE TO MEET THAT NEED. NOW, IF THE SHUTDOWN DOES GO PAST THURSDAY, IT COULD IMPACT SNAP AND CAL FRESH NEXT MONTH, A QUARTER OF A MILLION PEOPLE IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY ALONE RELY ON CAL BENEFITS. MEANWHILE, TOP WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS ARE IN THE MIDDLE EAST TRYING TO KEEP THE CEASEFIRE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS INTACT. VICE PRESIDENT J.D. VANCE IS IN ISRAEL TODAY AFTER THE WHITE HOUSE’S TOP NEGOTIATORS WERE THERE YESTERDAY. KCRA 3’S RACHEL HERXHEIMER IS LIVE AT THE WHITE HOUSE NOW. AND, RACHEL, THE VICE PRESIDENT’S VISIT IS COMING DURING A REALLY FRAGILE TIME FOR THAT TRUCE. MIKE AND DEIRDRE, YOU GUYS ARE EXACTLY RIGHT. A LOT OF DEVELOPMENTS HERE. THE VICE PRESIDENT AND THE SECOND LADY ARE EXPECTED TO BE MEETING WITH ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU TODAY. AND THIS FOLLOWS A WEEKEND OF DEADLY VIOLENCE IN THE REGION. SPECIAL ENVOY STEVE WITKOFF AND THE PRESIDENT’S SON IN LAW, JARED KUSHNER, MET WITH NETANYAHU YESTERDAY ABOUT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE REGION UNDER THE TERMS OF THE CEASE FIRE AGREEMENT, HAMAS IS EXPECTED TO TURN OVER THE REMAINS OF 28 HOSTAGES. HAMAS TURNED OVER ONE YESTERDAY, BRINGING THE TOTAL TO 13. ISRAEL’S MILITARY SAID OVER THE WEEKEND THAT MILITANTS FIRED AT TROOPS IN AREAS THAT ARE ISRAELI CONTROLLED. NOW, SHORTLY AFTER THAT HAPPENED, HUMANITARIAN AID INTO GAZA WAS PAUSED. IT HAS SINCE RESUMED. YESTERDAY, PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SAID THE ADMINISTRATION IS READY TO MAINTAIN THE CEASE FIRE. WE MADE A DEAL WITH HAMAS THAT THEY’RE GOING TO BE VERY GOOD, THEY’RE GOING TO BEHAVE, THEY’RE GOING TO BE NICE. AND IF THEY’RE NOT, WE’RE GOING TO GO AND WE’RE GOING TO ERADICATE THEM. IF WE HAVE TO, THEY’LL BE ERADICATED. AND THEY KNOW THAT. NOW, PRESIDENT TRUMP DID CLARIFY THAT THE U.S. WILL NOT BE SENDING IN AMERICAN MILITARY GROUND TROOPS TO TAKE OUT HAMAS BECAUSE OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE SIGNED ON TO THIS CEASE FIRE. AND NETANYAHU ALSO WARNED HAMAS THAT ANY ATTACK AGAINST ISRAELI FORCES WILL BE MET WITH A VERY HIGH PRICE. BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT, SO, RACHEL, WE DO KNOW THAT RETURNING THE HOSTAGES FROM GAZA TO ISRAEL IS PHASE ONE OF THE CEASE FIRE. SO WHAT’S PART OF PHASE TWO? SO THE NEXT STEPS INCLUDE DISARMING HAMAS, WHICH HAS BEEN A MAIN FOCUS OF THIS PEACE AGREEMENT. AND THEN ALSO GETTING ISRAELI FORCES OUT OF PARTS OF GAZA THAT THEY STILL CONTROL, AND THEN ULTIMATELY SETTING UP A NEW GOVERNMENT SYSTEM IN GAZA. STILL A LOT OF STEPS THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN IN THIS CEASE FIRE AGREEMENT. BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT, RACHEL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT LIVE REPORT FROM WASHINGTON, D.C. SO IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TODAY, THE SACRAMENTO CITY COUNCIL IS VOTING ON A PROPOSAL TO FAST TRACK CONSTRUCTION TO SUPPORT THE RAILYARD SOCCER STADIUM. COUNCIL IS WEIGHING WHETHER TO SUSPEND COMPETITIVE BIDDING FOR THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE THAT’S NEAR THE STADIUM. THE COUNCIL COULD ALSO FINALIZE EXPANDING THE CITY’S ENTERTAINMENT ZONE PROGRAM. CITY WANTS TO ADD TWO ZONES. ONE WOULD BE AT 17TH AND OUR STREETS. THAT’S IN THE ICE BLOCKS. THE OTHER WOULD BE IN THE HANDLE DISTRICT RIGHT NEAR L AND 18TH AND 19TH STREETS. THE ENTERTAINMENT ZONES ALLOW BUSINESSES TO SELL ALCOHOL TO GO WITHIN PERMITTED EVENTS. IT IS JUST ABOUT 510 NOW, AS WE GO BACK OVER TO TAMARA TO GET A CHECK ON OUR WEATHER EVERY TEN MINUTES, AND TAMARA, JUST ANOTHER GREAT DAY YESTERDAY. YEAH. GREAT DAY. WE MADE IT UP TO 80 DEGREES OFFICIALLY IN DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO AREA. AND NOW TODAY WILL BE VERY SIMILAR AS TEMPERATURES WILL WARM MAYBE A DEGREE OR TWO. EVEN WARMER THAN YESTERDAY. SUNRISE OFFICIALLY AT 721. TO KICK OFF YOUR TUESDAY MORNING SUNSET AT 619. THAT WILL LOG US TEN HOURS AND 58 MINUTES OF DAYLIGHT TODAY. AND THE MOON WITH THAT SKY LOOKING SO DARKENED OUT THERE FOR THE MORNING, UNDERNEATH THE CLEAR CONDITIONS, IT’S IN THE NEW MOON PHASE, SO THERE’S BARELY A SLIVER OF A MOON OUT THERE. IF YOU WANT TO TRY TO ENJOY SOME OF THE ORIONIDS METEOR SHOWER PEAKING RIGHT NOW, TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE LOW 50S CURRENTLY ACROSS THE VALLEY FLOOR. I’VE GOT UPPER 50S TO LOW 60S IN THE FOOTHILLS, 28 FOR YOU IN TRUCKEE. YOUR SIERRA FORECAST TODAY, BRIGHT AND MILD TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 60S AROUND TRUCKEE TO UPPER 70S IN QUINCY, 79 TODAY IN YOSEMITE, 75. IN POLLOCK PINES. GORGEOUS DAY ALONG THE HIGHWAY 49 CORRIDOR. EXPECT SUNSHINE AND A WARM AFTERNOON. EVEN BY FOOTHILL STANDARDS. 76 IN PLACERVILLE, 77 FOR YOU IN AUBURN, 79 IN JACKSON AND PLYMOUTH, AND AS WARM AS 80 TODAY IN SONORA AND AROUND JAMESTOWN, CLOSER TO THE COAST, LOOKING AT ANOTHER ROUND OF MID 70S IN SAN FRANCISCO BEFORE THAT, MARINE AIR REALLY STARTS TO BUILD AND PUSH INWARD AS WE GET INTO THE LATE NIGHT AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. 82 TODAY IN FAIRFIELD, 78 IN NAPA, GOOD LOOKING DAY IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AS WE TOP OUT AT 80 IN LODI, 81 IN TRACY AND 81 FOR YOU, MODESTO. LOOKING AT ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE SACRAMENTO AREA, BUT QUITE WARM AS WE WARM INTO THE LOW 80S IN DAVIS, 82 IN VACAVILLE, 82 IN ROSEVILLE, 81 IN FOLSOM AND AROUND EL DORADO HILLS. NEXT TEN MINUTES I’LL BREAK DOWN THE EXTENDED FORECAST FOR YOU. I AM MONITORING SOME BIG CHANGES COMING OUR WAY, ESPECIALLY AS WE PLAN OUT THE WEEKEND. IT IS 511 IF YOU’RE PLANNING A MORNING DRIVE ERIN WHAT SHOULD YOU PLAN FOR? WELL, IT’S SMOOTH SAILING EXCEPT FOR MANTECA AND TRACY. WE’LL GET TO THAT. WE’RE STARTING AT WEST CAPITOL IN I-80 DOING REALLY NICELY THIS MORNING TO AND FROM SACRAMENTO AND DAVIS. WOW, LOOK AT THAT. WE HAVE A FLOW. WE LOVE THAT SACRAMENTO IN ITS ENTIRETY DOING WELL THIS MORNING. SAME CAN BE SAID ALL THE WAY DOWN 99 AND FIVE INTO STOCKTON. THAT SLOWING YOU’RE SEEING THAT IS JUST ONE LANE CLOSURE AND SOME CONSTRUCTION THAT WAS ALREADY SCHEDULED. NOW TRACY TRIANGLE SLOW. THERE ARE NO INCIDENTS, BUT I DID JUST SEE SOMETHING HAPPENING CLOSE TO MANTECA. IT LOOKS LIKE A TWO CAR ACCIDENT. NO INJURIES, BUT IT IS CAUSING SOME SLOWING. WE’LL GET TO THAT IN THE NEXT TRAFFIC REPORT. BUT FOR NOW, RIGHT NOW, I-5 TO 580. 25 MINUTES JUST HIT THE RED. 26 MINUTES IN THE YELLOW. 205 TO 680, 22 MINUTES MODESTO TO MANTECA BY WAY OF 99 NORTHBOUND. AND EVERYONE ELSE IS IN THE GREEN. MIKE. DEIRDRE. THANK YOU. TIME NOW IS 512. DON’T RISK IT. MAIL YOUR BALLOT EARLY. WE’LL TELL YOU ABOUT SOME RECENT VOTING RULE CHANGES AND WHY SOME VOTERS SHOULD PLAN ON MAILING IT IN EARLY. OR IT MIGHT NOT COUNT. CALIFORNIA CHANGING HOW KIDS LEARN TO READ. THIS NEW APPROACH COULD BOOST READING SCORES ACROSS THE STATE.
