THIS IS KCRA THREE NEWS AT FIVE. IT IS ANOTHER WET, STORMY DAY AHEAD WITH DRIVERS IN THE VALLEY AND THE SIERRA NEED TO KNOW BEFORE HITTING THE ROAD. ANOTHER EFFORT TO PUT TALK ABOUT A LEAKED NATIONAL SECURITY GROUP CHAT TO BED. HOW PRESIDENT TRUMP IS RESPONDING NOW TO CRITICISM, AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FORCED TO FLEE AS A WILDFIRE BREAKS OUT NEAR INYO NATIONAL FOREST. WHAT WE’VE LEARNED ABOUT THAT FIRE SO FAR. GOOD MORNING TO YOU. I’M TEO TORRES AND I’M DEIRDRE FITZPATRICK. THANKS FOR JOINING US ON THIS MONDAY MORNING. LET’S GO AHEAD AND TAKE A LIVE LOOK NOW AT INTERSTATE 80. WE DO HAVE CHAIN CONTROLS. IN EFFECT, IT IS A KCRA 3 WEATHER IMPACT DAY. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, CALTRANS IS SCREENING THE BIG RIGS. AND THAT’S ALL STARTING AT APPLEGATE. ALL CAR SEATS HAVE CHAINS GET PAST EAGLE LAKES TO EAGLE LAKE TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT IS IN STORE TODAY. LET’S GO AHEAD AND CHECK IN WITH METEOROLOGIST KELLY CURRAN. YEAH, RAIN, SNOW, BREEZY CONDITIONS, EVEN SOME THUNDERSTORMS ON TAP FOR TODAY. THIS IS A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE OF THE CAPITOL. YOU CAN SEE THE RAINDROPS THERE ON THE LENS. SO TODAY, IN THE VALLEY, IN THE FOOTHILLS, RAIN AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. SNOW LEVELS IN THE SIERRA FALLING DOWN TO 5000FT. AND TODAY IS AN IMPACT DAY. BUT SO IS TOMORROW AS MORE RAIN AND SNOW ARE MOVING IN. HERE IS A LOOK AT THE CURRENT DOPPLER RADAR. SO WE ARE CONTINUING TO TRACK THESE SHOWERS AS THEY MOVE EASTWARD. WE HAVE HAD A FEW FLASHES OF LIGHTNING IN THE SIERRA, SO SOME THUNDER SNOW FOR SOME OF YOU TO WAKE UP TO. AND AS WE ZOOM IN TO A FEW LOCATIONS, SACRAMENTO SEEING A FEW SHOWERS NOW PUSHING TO THE EAST ROCKLIN THOSE SHOWERS MOVING IN POLLOCK PINES WE HAVE SOME MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN COMING DOWN IN A FEW SPOTS. AND THEN AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT I-80, THERE IS THAT SNOW THAT’S COMING DOWN. AND AGAIN SNOW LEVELS TODAY EXPECTED TO FALL DOWN TO 5000FT AND THEN EVEN LOWER TOMORROW. SACRAMENTO IS AT 56 DEGREES. AUBURN YOU’RE COMING IN AT 50 SOUTH LAKE TAHOE 34 DEGREES. IT WAS CERTAINLY WINDY YESTERDAY. WE’RE STILL SEEING SOME BREEZES OUT THERE. TODAY’S WINDS GUSTING UP TO ABOUT 35. MAYBE A FEW GUSTS UP TO 40MPH. SO CERTAINLY STILL ON THE BREEZY SIDE. AND AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON, HIGHS ARE ONLY GOING TO MAKE IT INTO THE LOW 60S. AND AGAIN, THAT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WE’RE GOING TO BE TIMING THOSE OUT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE A’S HOME OPENER TONIGHT. TEO AND DEIRDRE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. DRIVERS WILL NEED TO TAKE IT A LITTLE BIT SLOWER THIS MORNING. WE’VE GOT ROADS ACROSS THE VALLEY THAT ARE SEEING SOME RAIN. CERTAINLY ARE. I SAW A LITTLE ON THE WAY TO WORK THAT WILL EVENTUALLY TURN AS YOU GO INTO HIGHER ELEVATIONS TO SNOW. MELANIE WINGO JOINS US NOW IN LIVE TRACKER THREE ON I-80. WHAT ARE YOU SEEING RIGHT NOW? WELL, SO FAR JUST WET ROADWAYS WHERE WE ARE OUT THE FRONT WINDOW OF LIVE TRACKER THREE. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE ARE ABOUT TEN MILES AWAY FROM COLFAX. SO IN OUR EAST DIRECTION WE’LL HIT COLFAX IN ABOUT TEN MILES. AND NO LO SNOW TO SPEAK OF TODAY, WE KNOW THAT CHAIN CONTROLS ARE IN EFFECT. DONNER SUMMIT REST AREA IS CLOSED TODAY. YOU’LL REACH THAT CHAIN CONTROL CHECKPOINT AROUND EAGLE LAKES THIS MORNING. TRUCKS, BIG RIGS THERE BEING SCREENED TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THEIR CHAINS AT APPLE GATE. SO ONCE YOU HIT ALSO THE AREA OF THE FOOTHILLS, YOU’RE GOING TO BE WATCHING OUT FOR A LITTLE BIT OF FOG. ACCORDING TO THE CALTRANS QUICK MAP. BUT RIGHT NOW WE AREN’T SEEING SNOW AT THE LOW ELEVATIONS. WE KNEW THAT WOULD BE THE CASE. I CHECKED IN WITH KELLY CURRAN BEFORE I LEFT THE BUILDING. SHE SAID. AROUND 5000FT. WE WILL START TO SEE IT, SO WE WILL REPORT BACK IN JUST A BIT. BUT FOR A LOOK ON HOW THE ROADWAYS ARE AT THE LOWER ELEVATIONS, I’M GOING TO SEND THINGS OVER NOW TO BRIAN HICKEY. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, MELANIE. WE’VE GOT A COUPLE OF SPINOUTS HERE IN THE SACRAMENTO AREA. AS YOU CAN SEE, MOSTLY IN THE GREEN ACROSS THE MAP. BUT ONE OF THE INCIDENTS WILL TAKE US TO THE NORTHBOUND SIDE OF THE CAP CITY FREEWAY, WHERE YOU MERGE ONTO INTERSTATE 80. AND THERE’S A VEHICLE THAT SPUN OUT IN THE CENTER DIVIDE. IT’S CURRENTLY BLOCKING THE FAST LANE, AND THERE IS A CHP. OFFICERS PUT OUT SOME FLARES AROUND THAT AS IT’S BLOCKING THE FAST LANE IN THAT SPOT. SO YOU WANT TO WATCH OUT FOR THAT COMING IN WESTBOUND HIGHWAY 50. LOOKING GOOD. AND YOU MAY AS YOU MAKE YOUR WAY IN FROM FOLSOM AND FIVE AND 99 OUT OF ELK GROVE. ALSO CLEAR THERE LOOKING GOOD THROUGH STOCKTON. NO PROBLEMS ON 599 HIGHWAY FOUR AND 12 ALL LOOKING GOOD OUT INTO THE DELTA. MINOR DELAYS ACROSS THE TOP OF THE TRACY TRIANGLE. RIGHT NOW IT WILL BE A 22 MINUTE RIDE ON 205 580, A 31 MINUTE RIDE, AND THEN 99 FROM MODESTO TO MANTECA 12 MINUTES THERE ON THE SACRAMENTO AREA, A TEN MINUTE RIDE ON INTERSTATE 80 FROM ROSEVILLE INTO SACRAMENTO. HIGHWAY 50, A 16 MINUTE RIDE, 99 NINE MINUTES OUT OF ELK GROVE AND 11 MINUTES ON I-5. WE DO HAVE CHAIN CONTROLS IN THE SIERRA, AS YOU HEARD MELANIE TALK ABOUT CISCO GROVE TO TRUCKEE ON INTERSTATE 80. TWIN BRIDGES TO MEYERS ON HIGHWAY 50 AND 88 FROM HAM STATION TO WOODFORDS TEO. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. FOLSOM NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNED AFTER THEY SAY TEENS TURNED THEIR STREET INTO A GIANT HOUSE PARTY. IT HAPPENED SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE NEW DEVELOPMENT CALLED ROCKCRESS AT FOLSOM RANCH. IT IS IN BETWEEN MANGINI PARKWAY AND WHITE ROCK ROAD. NEIGHBORS SAY HUNDREDS OF KIDS BROKE INTO TWO VACANT HOMES, PARTYING FOR HOURS. VIDEO HERE TAKEN BY A NEIGHBOR WHO LIVES NEARBY. THEY TELL KCRA THREE THAT CONCERNED THE PARTIES COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. THAT IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF KIDS. NOW THEY’RE CALLING FOR THE TEENS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT THEY SAY IS CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. I MEAN, YEAH, IT’S DEFINITELY TRESPASSING AT THE MINIMUM AND THEN BREAKING AND ENTERING AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. THERE’S MULTIPLE THINGS DRINKING UNDERAGE. LIKE THERE’S SO MANY THINGS THAT WERE DONE WRONG. FOLSOM POLICE SAY ONE OF THE TWO HOMES UNDER CONSTRUCTION WAS DAMAGED BY THE TEENS. AS OF NOW, NO ONE HAS BEEN ARRESTED. SITUATION IS UNDER INVESTIGATION. THIS MORNING, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN MANY PARTS OF INYO AND MONO COUNTIES ARE UNDER EVACUATION ORDERS AS CREWS ARE BATTLING THE RAPIDLY GROWING SYLVAN. FIRE BROKE OUT JUST AFTER 2:00 YESTERDAY AFTERNOON NORTH OF BISHOP, A CITY EAST OF FRESNO. SO FAR, THE FIRE HAS BURNED ABOUT 1000 ACRES. CAL FIRE SAYS THAT WIND GUSTS WERE UP TO 35MPH AT BISHOP AIRPORT. AND THAT’S WHAT FORCED SOME OF THE FIREFIGHTING AIRCRAFT TO STAY GROUNDED. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECASTS WINDY CONDITIONS AGAIN TODAY, WITH A HIGH WIND WARNING THAT’S IN EFFECT THROUGH TONIGHT. SO FAR, THERE’S NO CONTAINMENT. RESCUERS CONTINUE TO SEARCH FOR SURVIVORS AFTER A DEADLY 7.7 EARTHQUAKE TOPPLED BUILDINGS IN THAILAND AND MYANMAR. OFFICIALS SAY THE DEATH TOLL HAS RISEN TO MORE THAN 1700. ANOTHER 3400 HAVE BEEN INJURED AND MORE THAN 300 ARE STILL MISSING. A LACK OF HEAVY MACHINERY HAS SLOWED THE SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATIONS DOWN, FORCING MANY TO GO IN THERE AND DO IT BY HAND. FRIDAY’S QUAKE WAS THE DEADLIEST NATURAL DISASTER IN MYANMAR IN YEARS. COMES AS THE COUNTRY CONTINUES TO DEAL WITH A CIVIL WAR THAT BEGAN IN 2021. SEVERAL COUNTRIES HAVE DEPLOYED RESOURCES TO ASSIST IN RESCUE AND RELIEF EFFORTS. PRESIDENT TRUMP, WEIGHING IN ON A NUMBER OF INTERNATIONAL CONFLICTS AND THE MEMBERS OF HIS ADMINISTRATION MANAGING THEM. KCRA 3’S AMY LU JOINING US NOW LIVE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. AND, AMY, HE IS NOT MAKING ANY CHANGES AFTER THOSE LEAKED GROUP MESSAGES. NOT AT ALL. DEIRDRE AND TEO, WE KNOW THAT AT THIS POINT, IT APPEARS THAT DEFENSE SECRETARY PETE HEGSETH AND NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER MIKE WALTZ WILL BE KEEPING THEIR JOBS. AND THAT’S BECAUSE PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS HE HAS CONFIDENCE IN BOTH OF THEM. NOW, HE SAID THAT MUCH DURING AN NBC NEWS INTERVIEW OVER THE WEEKEND. QUOTE, I DON’T FIRE PEOPLE BECAUSE OF FAKE NEWS AND BECAUSE OF WITCH HUNTS. THE PRESIDENT IS TRYING TO PUT THE SCANDAL TO REST. FOLLOWING SEVERAL DAYS OF UNCERTAINTY AND CONTRADICTING EXPLANATIONS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. THAT’S AFTER WALTZ MISTAKENLY ADDED A JOURNALIST TO AN UNSECURED GROUP CHAT, WHERE HEGSETH SHARED DETAILED PLANS TO BOMB IRANIAN BACKED TERRORISTS IN YEMEN. THE JOURNALIST AT THE CENTER OF SO-CALLED SIGNAL GATE, THE ATLANTIC’S JEFFREY GOLDBERG, IS DEFENDING RELEASING THOSE MESSAGES PUBLICLY. I WISH THAT I HAD NOT BEEN PUT IN THE POSITION TO HAVE TO RELEASE THE THE MORE SENSITIVE TEXTS, BUT THE ONLY REASON I DID THAT WAS BECAUSE THEY SAID WE WERE LYING ABOUT WHAT WE HAD. THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THEY DON’T TAKE NATIONAL SECURITY SERIOUSLY. AND SO PRESIDENT TRUMP IS TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH HIS CURRENT NATIONAL SECURITY TEAM AMID PRESSING INTERNATIONAL CONFLICTS. THAT INCLUDES RUSSIA AND IRAN. HE’S THREATENING TARIFFS AND SANCTIONS AGAINST THEM IF THEY DON’T MEET HIS DEMANDS. REPORTING LIVE AT THE WHITE HOUSE THIS MORNING. I’M AMY LU KCRA 3 NEWS. AMY. THANK YOU. THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS FACING A SETBACK IN RESTARTING DENUCLEARIZATION TALKS WITH IRAN. IRAN SAID OVER THE WEEKEND IT WON’T AGREE TO DIRECT TALKS, BUT MAY WORK INDIRECTLY WITH THE WHITE HOUSE. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THREATENING TO BOMB IRAN AND IMPLEMENT TARIFFS ON THEIR TRADING PARTNERS. TAKING A LIVE LOOK NOW AT SUTTER HEALTH PARK, WE ARE JUST HOURS AWAY FROM THE A’S BEING ON THE FIELD FOR THE FIRST TIME. TEAM IS FACING THE CUBS FOR THE HOME OPENER. FIRST PITCH IS AT 705. WE’RE GOING TO BE OUT OF THE PARK ALL DAY LONG. COMING UP OUR NEXT HALF HOUR. ERIN HEFT WILL BE GOING LIVE WITH WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW AND HOW YOU CAN STILL GET TICKETS. IT IS 509 SO IT’S NOT GOING TO GET RAINED OUT. I KNOW THEY HAVE STATE OF THE ART DRAINAGE THERE ON THAT FIELD THERE. KELLY, BUT IT WILL. WILL IT BE RAINING? THERE IS CERTAINLY THE POSSIBILITY FOR A SPRINKLE OR TWO AT THE VERY START. SO YOU MAY WANT TO HAVE SOME RAINCOATS OR PONCHOS WITH YOU AND ALSO SOME WARMER LAYERS, BECAUSE IT’S CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO QUITE FEEL LIKE BASEBALL WEATHER OUT THERE. WE ARE TRACKING RAIN AND SIERRA SNOW ALREADY THIS MORNING. A FEW SHOWERS AROUND THE SACRAMENTO AREA. SOME OF THE HEAVIER RAIN OVER NEAR POLLOCK PINES. ALSO JUST TO THE NORTH OF GRASS VALLEY. THERE. DONNER AREA CERTAINLY SEEING SOME OF THAT SNOW. IN FACT, THIS IS A LOOK AT DONNER SUMMIT HERE AT I-80. AND YOU CAN SEE THE SNOW THERE ON THOSE ROADWAYS. SO SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND. OF COURSE BRIAN WILL HAVE MORE ON THAT IN TRAFFIC. BUT AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE FORECAST FOR THE SIERRA TODAY. TEMPERATURES TOPPING OUT IN THE UPPER 30S TO AROUND 40 DEGREES FOR TRUCKEE AND SOUTH LAKE TAHOE. AND AGAIN, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT SNOW, NOT JUST TODAY, BUT TOMORROW AS WELL. TODAY, POLLOCK PINES IT’S RAIN FOR YOU. A HIGH OF 42 DEGREES IN YOSEMITE, TOPPING OUT AT 47. THE FOOTHILLS, EXPECTING SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS, MAYBE EVEN A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON. PLACERVILLE A HIGH OF 50. JACKSON 53. THE COASTAL HILLS, SCATTERED SHOWERS AND AGAIN POSSIBILITY FOR SOME THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. FAIRFIELD AND CONCORD, BOTH EXPECTING HIGHS IN THE LOW 60S. THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY MAY SEE THE SUN PEEKING THROUGH THOSE CLOUDS FROM TIME TO TIME, BUT YOU’RE STILL GOING TO SEE THOSE SCATTERED SHOWERS. AFTERNOON HIGHS TODAY. GENERALLY IN THOSE MID 60S. THEN IT’S BACK UP TO THE LOW 60S AS WE HEAD TOWARD THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY, WHERE WE’RE GOING TO SEE CLOUDY SKIES, SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS, A FEW THUNDERSTORMS AND YES, MORE BREEZY CONDITIONS. LUCKILY, NOT QUITE AS STRONG AS WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY. WE’RE GOING TO TIME IT ALL OUT COMING UP IN ABOUT TEN MINUTES. BUT FIRST LET’S CHECK IN ON THOSE ROADWAYS WITH BRIAN. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, KELLY. TAKING A LOOK HERE ACROSS THE SACRAMENTO AREA. AND WE’RE SEEING A LOT OF GREEN HERE ON THE MAP. BUT WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF MINOR DELAYS TO TALK ABOUT. ONE OF THEM IS ON THE NORTHBOUND SIDE OF THE CAPITAL CITY FREEWAY, WHERE IT MERGES ONTO INTERSTATE 80. THERE IS A VEHICLE THAT SPUN OUT HIT THE CENTER DIVIDE. IT’S BLOCKING THE FAST LANE, AND THEY’RE JUST WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK TO GET THAT CAR ON ITS WAY. SO YOU CAN SEE JUST A LITTLE BIT OF RED ON THE MAP. AND THEN ON THE ALSO ON THE NORTHBOUND SIDE OF THE CAP CITY FREEWAY, RIGHT AROUND THE MARCONI CURVE, THERE’S A VEHICLE THAT ROLLED OFF OF THE FREEWAY ONTO CITY STREETS. SO THAT’S NOT CAUSING ANY DELAYS ON THE FREEWAY, BUT YOU WILL SEE SOME ACTIVITY THERE AS THEY WORK TO RECOVER THAT VEHICLE ON THE CITY STREET LEVEL THERE. I-5 AND 99 ALL CLEAR OUT OF ELK GROVE. NO PROBLEMS ACROSS 80 IN THE CAUSEWAY, 12 AND FOUR TO THE WEST. ALSO CLEAR AND THROUGH STOCKTON. NO PROBLEMS ON FIVE AND 99 CROSSTOWN FREEWAY CLEAR WESTBOUND 580 AT CORRAL HOLLOW. THERE’S A MINOR COLLISION THERE CAUSING A SLOWDOWN. AND THEN ACROSS THE TOP OF THE TRIANGLE AT 205, WE’RE NOW LOOKING AT A 27 MINUTE RIDE THERE. 580. 31 MINUTES ACROSS THE ALTAMONT PASS HERE IN SACRAMENTO, TEN MINUTES OUT OF ROSEVILLE 50. A 15 MINUTE RIDE AND RIGHT AROUND TEN MINUTES COMING OUT OF ELK GROVE ON 99 AND I-5. SO WE’RE DELAY FREE FOR THE MOMENT. BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. BRIAN. WILDFIRES SPREAD ACROSS SOUTH CAROLINA. CREWS STRUGGLE TO GAIN CONTAINMENT AS THE TABLE ROCK FIRE OFFICIALLY BECOMES THE LARGEST FIRE IN THAT STATE’S HISTORY. AND COLUMBIA ALUMNI STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE DETAINED GRAD STUDENT. HOW THEY’RE SHOWING DISPLEASURE WITH T
