Traffic slowdown on Highway 99 in Sacramento following crash

WE BEGIN WITH BREAKING NEWS. GOOD MORNING. IT IS 6 A.M. I’M DEIRDRE FITZPATRICK AND I’M TEO TORRES. SO LET’S GO TO THAT BREAKING NEWS. A CAR FIRE AND A HAY TRUCK CRASH ON SOUTHBOUND INTERSTATE FIVE NEAR SUTTERVILLE ROAD SHUT DOWN THE ROADWAY, SNARLING THE MORNING COMMUTE. WE SAW THIS ABOUT AN HOUR AGO. THAT WAS AN ACTIVE FIRE. YOU CAN HEAR LITTLE EXPLOSIONS FROM THE CAR AND JUST NORTH OF THAT WAS THIS HAY FIRE. IT JUST GOT BUSY VERY, VERY QUICKLY. WE DO HAVE TEAM COVERAGE FOR YOU THIS MORNING. BRIAN HICKEY HAS BEEN KEEPING AN EYE ON THE BACKUP AND ALSO HAS A DETOUR FOR YOU. BUT LET’S START WITH MIKE TESELLE. HE’S ACTUALLY OUT THERE ON I-5. WHAT A CRAZY START TO THE FRIDAY MORNING COMMUTE. DEIRDRE I’LL STEP OUT OF THE WAY BECAUSE THIS IS A LIVE LOOK AT WHAT I-5 SOUTHBOUND LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW. AS YOU’RE APPROACHING THAT SUTTERVILLE EXIT. HAY BALES ACROSS FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC RIGHT NOW. A BIG CLEANUP HERE. TAKE A LOOK, BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT THE SCENE LOOKED LIKE WHEN WE ARRIVED. THAT OVERTURNED HAY TRUCK ACTUALLY CRUSHING PART OF A TOYOTA SEDAN. NOW, THE GOOD NEWS HERE FROM THE CHP IS THAT BOTH DRIVERS OF THE OVERTURNED TRUCK AND THE SEDAN WERE OKAY AND ABLE TO EXIT THEIR VEHICLES AS YOU CAN SEE, THOUGH, A LOT OF CLEANUP GOING TO NEED TO BE DONE HERE AS THEY NEED TO OVERTURN THAT. ALREADY OVERTURNED HAY TRUCK. CLEAN THAT UP. BUT WHILE WE WERE HERE MAKING OUR WAY TO THIS SCENE IN THE BACKED UP TRAFFIC GETTING THROUGH HERE. TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED ABOUT 200 YARDS TO THE NORTH OF HERE. AND THAT IS A CAR FIRE FULLY ENGULFED. NOW, WE WERE IN THIS BACKED UP TRAFFIC AS IT WAS ALL FUNNELING DOWN TO JUST ONE LANE, COMING UP BY THE HAY TRUCK AND THIS HAPPENED IN THAT BACKUP. FORTUNATELY, THAT CAR WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE BACKUP AND OVER TO THE LEFT PART OF THE FREEWAY IN THE DIAMOND LANE THERE. BUT THAT CAR FIRE BURNING AND PART OF THE DIFFICULTY THERE WAS TRYING TO GET THE FIRE CREWS TO THAT CAR BECAUSE OF THE BACKED UP TRAFFIC. SO THAT TOOK A BIT OF TIME. FORTUNATELY, THE DRIVER OF THAT VIDEO OF THAT CAR WAS ABLE TO GET OUT AND WAS OKAY AS WELL. NOW BACK OUT HERE LIVE. WE GOT A POSITIVE UPDATE AND THAT IS THAT THE COLLEGE OAKS TOWING CREW, THEY’VE ALREADY UPRIGHTED ONE OF THE FLATBEDS HERE THAT IS PART OF THE STRATEGY HERE IS TO HOOK THAT UP, GET THAT OUT OF HERE. BUT THEN THEY’VE ALSO GOT THIS TO STILL DEAL WITH. THEY GOT THE TRACTOR HERE THAT REMAINS ON ITS SIDE. THEY GOT TO GET THAT UPRIGHT. THEY GOT TO HOOK THAT UP. AND THEN THEY GOT ANOTHER FLATBED. THEY’RE WORKING WITH. AND THEN OF COURSE ALL OF THAT HAY NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP. ALL OF THIS AGAIN WITH JUST ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC GETTING BY. THIS HAY TRUCK. QUITE A MESS THIS MORNING. SO THAT’S THE VISUAL SIDE OF THINGS FOR WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR THE COMMUTE AND HOW FAR THINGS ARE BACKED UP. BRIAN, TAKE IT FROM HERE. KNOW IT’S A BUSY MORNING FOR YOU. YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE STOPPED THE TRAFFIC THERE WHILE THEY WORK THAT TRAILER THERE AND YOU CAN SEE THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE BACK CLOSER TO SIXTH AVENUE. THIS IS WHERE THE CAR FIRE WAS LOCATED. AND THEN THE THE BIG RIG ON ITS SIDE JUST BEYOND THIS CAMERA HERE. AND I’M JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, GOOGLED WHAT A BALE OF HAY WEIGHS. AND IF THOSE ARE, I BELIEVE THOSE ARE A HALF TON BALE RIGHT THERE. SO WE’RE LOOKING AT ABOUT A 1,000 POUNDS PER BALE. SO THAT IS GOING TO BE QUITE A CLEANUP. AND I DON’T KNOW IF THEY’RE GOING TO USE THAT LITTLE BACKHOE TO DO THAT OR BRING IN LARGER MACHINERY. LIKELY A FORKLIFT TO GET ALL OF THAT OUT OF THERE. BUT YOU CAN SEE THE TRAFFIC BACKING UP NOW ALL THE WAY BACK TO HIGHWAY 50. THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AT VALLEJO. AND AS YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN THE MIKE’S LIVE SHOT THERE, THEY HAD STOPPED THE TRAFFIC WHILE THE TOW TRUCKS THERE ARE WORKING IN THAT SCENE. AND THERE WAS TALK OF COMPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN SOUTHBOUND I-5 AS THEY WORK TO CLEAR ALL THIS UP. BUT SO FAR THEY’VE MANAGED TO AT TIMES KEEP ONE LANE OPEN. YOU CAN SEE ON THE REST OF THE MAP HERE NO OTHER ISSUES THROUGHOUT SACRAMENTO 50 AND 80 ACROSS THE CAUSEWAY, EVEN NORTHBOUND I-5. NOT DELAYED BY ALL OF THIS AS DRIVERS COME AROUND THE CORNER, THEY DON’T HAVE MUCH OF A CHANCE TO SEE IT BEFORE THEY PASS IT. SO IT’S ONLY AN 11 MINUTE RIDE ON THAT NORTHBOUND SIDE. PLENTY OF TRAFFIC TO KEEP TABS ON. WE’LL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT FOR YOU. WITH MIKE TESELLE LIVE ON THE SCENE. AND OF COURSE, OUR TRAFFIC MAPS. AND THAT IS A LOOK AT TRAFFIC. WE’LL SEND IT BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. LET’S GO TO DIRK VERDOORN NOW AND WE CAN FEEL THOSE WEATHER CHANGES OUTSIDE WHEN YOU STEP OUT. YEAH. THIS MORNING WE HAVE FAIRLY CLEAR CONDITIONS, COOL TEMPERATURES AND A LITTLE BIT OF A BREEZE. THAT COMBINATION IS FEELING MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE LIKE FALL. THIS MORNING, AS TEMPERATURES RANGING IN THE 50S IN MOST SPOTS. AS WE TAKE A LIVE LOOK THIS IS GOOD MORNING. FROM ATOP THE SUTTER BUTTES, YOU CAN SEE THE ORANGE OFF IN THE DISTANCE AS THE SUN IS GETTING READY TO COME UP OVER THE HORIZON, AND SOME CLOUDS OUT THERE OVER THE MOUNTAINS. AGAIN, NOT A LOT OF CLOUD COVER THOUGH OVER THE VALLEY, BUT WE ARE EXPECTING INCREASING CLOUD AS WE PROGRESS, ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON TODAY. TEMPERATURES AGAIN. WE’RE OFF TO A COOL START BECAUSE OF THE CLEAR SKIES, BUT THE CLOUDS ARE GOING TO MOVE IN AND THAT’S ACTUALLY GOING TO HELP TO KEEP TEMPERATURES DOWN THIS AFTERNOON. AND SO WE’RE LOOKING AT DAYTIME HIGHS THAT SHOULD STAY IN THE 70S IN MOST SPOTS. AND THEN THE CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL MOVE IN. AND THAT REALLY DOESN’T LOOK LIKE IT’S GOING TO DEVELOP UNTIL LATE TONIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW MORNING. EARLY EARLY IS WHAT WE’RE LOOKING AT. SO THIS IS THE WEATHER SYSTEM. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT STILL AFFECTING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, BUT IT’S STARTING TO MOVE INTO THE NORTHERN COAST OF CALIFORNIA. YOU CAN SEE THE SCATTERED SHOWERS AGAIN, NOT REALLY ORGANIZED, BUT JUST SPOTTY SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. AND WE’RE SEEING THOSE SHOWERS WORKING THEIR WAY ACROSS SISKIYOU COUNTY. AND AGAIN, THE NORTHERN COUNTIES OF CALIFORNIA. TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW IN THE UPPER 50S IN FAIRFIELD, WE’RE AT 57 DEGREES IN STOCKTON, 58 IN SACRAMENTO, 58 YUBA CITY. TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S ALSO THROUGH THE FOOTHILLS AS WELL AS THE SIERRA. SO WE HAVE FAIRLY UNIFORM TEMPERATURES WERE A BIT WARMER IN TRUCKEE BY 13 DEGREES. BUT WE’RE 13 DEGREES COOLER THIS MORNING IN AUBURN AND PLACERVILLE, AND TEMPERATURES RANGING ANYWHERE FROM A DEGREE TO UP TO FOUR DEGREES COOLER IN MOST VALLEY SPOTS. WINDS STRONGEST IN THROUGH THE SIERRA. IN FACT, WE’RE SEEING WIND GUSTS AROUND LAKE TAHOE BETWEEN 30 TO 40MPH. TEMPERATURES EVENTUALLY ARE GOING TO BE ONLY WARMING INTO THE 70S, WITH CLOUDY SKIES THIS AFTERNOON. HERE’S YOUR WEATHER. NOW BACK OVER TO YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. DIRK. WELL, TODAY, PRELIMINARY HEARINGS CONTINUE IN THE K STREET SHOOTING, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE DEADLIEST SHOOTING IN SACRAMENTO HISTORY. THE ACCUSED GUNMAN WILL BE BACK IN COURT. KCRA 3’S ERIN HEFT IS OUTSIDE THE COURTROOM WITH THE LATEST. AND IT’S BEEN EXACTLY A WEEK SINCE THOSE ACCUSED GUNMAN WERE IN COURT. PROSECUTORS QUESTIONING SEVERAL WITNESSES. ONE OF THOSE WITNESSES, A FAMILY MEMBER TO ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO DIED IN THAT SHOOTING. TAKE A LOOK. THIS VIDEO, A FIRSTHAND LOOK INSIDE OF THAT COURTROOM FOR YOU. THEY STARTED WITH THE DISMISSAL OF CHARGES TO ONE OF THE THREE ACCUSED GUNMAN, SMILEY MARTIN, AFTER MARTIN WAS FOUND DEAD IN A JAIL CELL. ATTORNEYS THEN CALLED A MAN NAMED IKE HARRIS TO THE STAND. HARRIS IS RELATED TO SERGIO HARRIS, WHICH IS ONE OF THE MEN WHO DIED IN THE SHOOTING. THE DEFENSE IS ATTEMPTING TO CONNECT A GUN IN THE SHOOTING TO EITHER IKE OR SERGIO HARRIS. SURVEILLANCE WAS THEN SHOWN TO THE COURTROOM SHOWING IKE HARRIS HIDING BEHIND A TRASH CAN AND SOMETHING FALLING OUT OF HIS POCKET. HE’S THEN SEEN GOING TOWARDS A CAR PARKED NEAR WHERE HIS COUSIN’S BODY WAS LAYING DEAD. HE WAS QUESTIONED AS TO IF HE TAMPERED WITH EVIDENCE ON SCENE AND WHY HE FLED FROM THE SCENE SO QUICKLY. TAKE A LISTEN TO ONE OF HIS RESPONSES. ONCE I SEEN MY COUSIN WAS WASN’T BREATHING. NO MORE. THERE WAS. IT WAS. POLICE TOOK OVER THE SCENE AND THERE WAS NO POINT OF ME STANDING AROUND. OTHER WITNESSES WERE ALSO QUESTIONED LAST WEEK AND AS OF TODAY, GANG EXPERTS ARE EXPECTED IN COURT AS WELL AS SACRAMENTO POLICE DETECTIVES IN SACRAMENTO, ERIN HEFT KCRA THREE NEWS. AND WE SHOULD MENTION TWO KCRA 3’S ORKO MANNA WILL BE IN THE COURTROOM AS TODAY’S HEARING GETS UNDERWAY. HE’LL POST LIVE UPDATES ON X. MAKE SURE YOU STAY WITH KCRA 3 FOR THE LATEST TO OUR COMMITMENT COVERAGE. NOW IT IS A FULL SPRINT TO ELECTION DAY. NOW THAT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION HAS ENDED. KAMALA HARRIS, ACCEPTING THE NOMINATION OF HER PARTY FOR PRESIDENT LAST NIGHT. KCRA 3’S AMY LU JOINS US FROM CHICAGO NOW WITH MORE ON HARRIS’S TALKING POINTS. KAMALA HARRIS BLENDED HER PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL STORIES, MAKING THE CASE FOR WHAT SHE CALLS A NEW WAY FORWARD. FOLLOWING OH, I ACCEPT YOUR NOMINATION TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. HARRIS DREW ON HER PAST. MY MOTHER KEPT A STRICT BUDGET. WE LIVED WITHIN OUR MEANS. ESTABLISHING A PERSONAL CONNECTION TO POLICY AND OPPORTUNITY. ECONOMY. WHERE EVERYONE HAS THE CHANCE TO COMPETE AND A CHANCE TO SUCCEED. SECURING A CEASE FIRE DEAL IN THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR. END THIS WAR SUCH THAT ISRAEL IS SECURE. THE HOSTAGES ARE RELEASED. THE SUFFERING IN GAZA ENDS, AND THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE CAN REALIZE THEIR RIGHT TO DIGNITY, SECURITY, FREEDOM AND SELF-DETERMINATION. ENSURING AMERICA’S MILITARY DOMINANCE. I WILL FULFILL OUR SACRED OBLIGATION TO CARE FOR OUR TROOPS AND THEIR FAMILIES. AND I WILL ALWAYS HONOR AND NEVER DISPARAGE THEIR SERVICE AND THEIR SACRIFICE. AND DRAWING A CONTRAST BETWEEN FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HERSELF. YOU CAN ALWAYS TRUST ME TO PUT COUNTRY ABOVE PARTY AND SELF IMPLORING VOTERS TO CHOOSE HER ON ELECTION DAY. AMERICA, WE ARE NOT GOING BACK. WE ARE NOT GOING BACK. ALSO ON POLICY, HARRIS TALKED ABOUT PASSING A BIPARTISAN BORDER SECURITY DEAL WITH PATHWAYS TO CITIZENSHIP FOR SOME IMMIGRANTS. SHE ALSO TALKED ABOUT RESTORING NATIONWIDE ACCESS TO REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM. AT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION IN CHICAGO, I’M AMY LU KCRA 3 NEWS. SO AS WE HEAD TOWARD ELECTION DAY, IT MAY BECOME A TWO CANDIDATE RACE TODAY. MIKE CHERRY JOINS US NOW WITH A DEVELOPING STORY THIS MORNING. YEAH. SO WE’RE FOLLOWING THE NEWS SURROUNDING ROBERT F KENNEDY JR. HE’S ADDRESSING THE FUTURE OF HIS CAMPAIGN IN ARIZONA TODAY. KENNEDY, WHO RAN AS A DEMOCRAT, THEN SWITCHED TO INDEPENDENT, STRUGGLED TO GAIN A SUBSTANTIAL FOLLOWING OR GET ON THE BALLOT IN MOST STATES. RECENT POLLING HAS HIM IN THE SINGLE DIGITS, BUT WITH THE HARRIS, TRUMP RACE ESSENTIALLY A TOSS UP. KENNEDY’S SMALL BASE OF SUPPORTERS MAY HAVE A SIZABLE IMPACT IN THIS ELECTION. NOW, KENNEDY DID PULL HIS NAME OFF OF ARIZONA’S BALLOT YESTERDAY, AND HE’LL BE MAKING HIS ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY JUST A FEW HOURS BEFORE TRUMP HOLDS A RALLY NEARBY. TAHOE. YEAH, MIKE, IF KENNEDY DROPS OUT, DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA WHO HIS FOLLOWERS WOULD SUPPORT? YEAH. SO HIS RUNNING MATE HAS DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF DROPPING OUT THIS WEEK, SAYING THAT THE CAMPAIGN WAS CONSIDERING JOINING FORCES WITH TRUMP TO LIMIT THE CHANCES OF ELECTING HARRIS. NOW TRUMP ALLIES ARE TRYING TO GET KENNEDY TO ENDORSE TRUMP AND TRUMP HINTED THAT HE WOULD BE OPEN TO GIVING KENNEDY A ROLE IN HIS ADMINISTRATION. TRUMP IS HYPING A SPECIAL GUEST AT HIS RALLY TODAY, AND IN AN INTERVIEW OVERNIGHT, SAID IT’S POSSIBLE HE’LL MEET WITH KENNEDY TODAY. BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MIKE. WE SHOULD MENTION TO CNN REPORTING ABOUT A WEEK AGO THAT HARRIS KENNEDY ALSO REACHED OUT TO THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN IN EXCHANGE FOR A ROLE IN THE ADMINISTRATION. THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN WAS NOT INTERESTED. SO LET’S GO BACK TO OUR BREAKING TRAFFIC NEWS. NOW. WE’VE GOT A BIG HAY TRUCK CRASH AND A CAR FIRE THAT SNARLED TRAFFIC OUT ON I-5. I WAS AMAZED WHEN YOU GAVE THE WEIGHT OF THAT HAY A FEW MINUTES AGO. ABOUT 1,000 POUNDS OF BALE, ACCORDING TO AG TECH.COM. SO HERE’S A LOOK AT THE THIS IS THE CAR THAT BURNED UP IN THIS WHOLE INCIDENT HERE. IT WAS A SECOND INCIDENT SECONDARY TO THE OVERTURNED HAY TRUCK. YOU CAN SEE THE BURNED CAR. THEN WE HAD A STALLED VEHICLE, ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT BROKE DOWN IN THAT SAME AREA. SO I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THIS PIECE OF THE FREEWAY, BUT THAT VEHICLE STUCK THERE, AND NOW YOU CAN SEE THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER THERE DOING DOUBLE DUTY, HAULING AWAY THE BURNED UP CAR. AND NOW THE STALLED OUT CAR. MEANWHILE, TRAFFIC IS OVER TO ONE LANE, ALL WHILE THEY WORK TO CLEAR UP THIS OVERTURNED HAY TRUCK CLOSER TO SUTTERVILLE. THAT’S BLOCKING ALL BUT THE SLOW LANE. AND THAT IS WHY TRAFFIC NOW BACKED UP ALL THE WAY INTO DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO. THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AT VALLEJO WAY. YOU CAN SEE SOME MORE CALTRANS CREWS HEADING DOWN THERE AS THEY FACILITATE THE CLEANUP OF THOSE THOUSAND POUND BALES OF HAY ALL ACROSS THE FREEWAY. AND YOU CAN SEE TRAFFIC JUST AT A STANDSTILL. SO AVOID SOUTHBOUND I-5. U.S. 99 CUT OVER ON THE SURFACE STREETS. YOU’LL SAVE YOURSELF A LOT OF TIME TROUBLE AND FRUSTRATION. NO ISSUES THERE ON 50 AND 80. IN THE SIERRA, THOUGH, WE DO HAVE AN ISSUE EASTBOUND 80 NOW RIGHT NEAR NYACK, THERE’S AN OVERTURNED VEHICLE OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CREWS ARE RESPONDING TO THAT HERE IN THE VALLEY. EVERYTHING ELSE RUNNING AT THE SPEED LIMIT, INCLUDING NORTHBOUND 99. EVEN PAST THAT INCIDENT, STILL MOVING RIGHT ALONG AT THE SPEED LIMIT THERE. THAT’S A LOOK AT TRAFFIC. HERE’S METEOROLOGIST DIRK VERDOORN. NOW WITH THAT WEEKEND FORECAST. YEAH, WE’RE LOOKING AT CONDITIONS THAT ARE COOLING OFF FOR TODAY. AND THEN OVER THE WEEKEND LOOKS LIKE WE’RE GOING TO BE WARMING UP AGAIN. BUT TODAY IS THE DAY WE’RE TALKING ABOUT TEMPERATURES THAT COULD STAY IN THE 70S THIS MORNING MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES OVERHEAD. YOU CAN SEE SOME CLOUDS OFF IN THE BACKGROUND HERE AS WE TAKE A LIVE LOOK FROM OUR SUTTER HEALTH PARK. SKY CAMERA FLAGS IN THE OUTFIELD GETTING A LITTLE PUSH. WE DO HAVE AN ONSHORE BREEZE. THAT WIND COMING IN FROM THE WEST SOUTHWEST AND 58 DEGREES THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE. SO WE ARE RUNNING A BIT COOLER THAN YESTERDAY. LOOK AT STOCKTON. WE’RE AT 57 DEGREES 60 IN MODESTO, 51 DEGREES AT LAKE TAHOE WEATHER SYSTEM COMING IN BRINGING ABOUT THE COOLDOWN AND AGAIN EVENTUALLY THE CLOUDS RIGHT NOW AGAIN, CLOUD COVER IS PRETTY SPARSE, BUT WE ARE SEEING MOST OF THE CLOUDS TO THE NORTH AS WELL AS THE CHANCE FOR SOME RAIN. WE’RE SEEING THAT ALREADY ALONG THE CALIFORNIA COAST AND OVER THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS. FUTURECAST TIMING THINGS OUT AGAIN. CLOUD COVER INCREASING BY NOONTIME. HERE YOU GO. LOOKING AT MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. RAIN STARTS DEVELOPING FROM THE WEST AND MOVING IN ALONG THE COAST. YOU CAN SEE THAT OVER NORTHERN LAKE COUNTY HERE BY 8 P.M. AGAIN, IT’S NOT REALLY GOING TO BE UNTIL WE GET INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING THAT WE’LL SEE OUR CHANCES IN THE VALLEY GO UP WITH THE RAIN. SO FOR THE MOST PART, IT SHOULD BE DONE. AS WE MAKE OUR WAY FROM THE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. WE’RE NOT LOOKING AT A LOT OF RAIN, BUT WE COULD SEE SOME MEASURABLE RAIN, ESPECIALLY IN THE MOUNTAINS. AND THEN A FEW SPOTTY SHOWERS LINGERING INTO SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM. THAT IS POSSIBLE, BUT THEN LOOK AT THIS. WE CLEAR OUT SUNNY SKIES FOR SUNDAY. SO HERE’S YOUR FORECAST FOR THE MOUNTAINS. WE’RE LOOKING AT INCREASING CLOUD COVER TEMPERATURES ONLY WARMING INTO THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S FOR TRUCKEE AND LAKE TAHOE. THERE’S YOUR WEATHER. NOW BACK OVER TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. 613 NOW, THIS WEEK’S EXPLORE OUTDOORS IS A LITTLE ROCKY DAVIS ADVENTURE THAT WILL CHANGE HOW YOU LOOK AT ROCKS I
