during the past few years and steps are being taken to prevent this balloon from collecting sensitive information. its discovery comes as secretary of state antony blinken was set to visit china as early as this weekend. but that trip has now been called off u.s.. officials say they're engaging with the chinese to convey the seriousness of the balloons presence over the u.s.. however, chinese officials say the balloon is just a civilian weather research aircraft that strayed off course. and then it regrets the balloons entry into u.s. airspace. the fact we know that it's a surveillance balloon. we do know that the balloon has violated u.s. airspace in international law. >> which is unacceptable. and so we've conveyed this directly to the prc at multiple levels. and pentagon officials say the balloon likely has limited intelligence gathering capabilities. >> and then whatever it can see can likely be seen from chinese spy satellites in low orbit reporting in washington. i'm trevor shirley.

>> all right. let's talk a bit about our forecast now taking a live look over at sfo where the runways are looking quite damp. haha, i'm kyla. what should people expect if they're hoping to travel this weekend? well, i mean, i think it's not going to be problems for as flights getting out because going all of our airports are quite used to dealing with some of the fog, the rain and we're going to get some clearing as we go throughout the afternoon today and then more rain coming in saturday night. so >> i think we'll be fine if you're traveling just meant to make sure you're picking your time, right? if you're going to be hitting the roads. so current temperatures right now, we're going to be little cooler today than we were yesterday, obviously with the cloud cover that's out there. so uc san francisco just at forty-seven degrees the rest of the day hanging out in that low to mid 50's range and today that's about where we'll be right in those mid 50's. some spots a little bit warmer. a few spots on the cooler. i think san jose could make that 60 degree mark. but that's about it. we should all be kind of in 50's slightly below average. so here is a look at the rain as a kind of rolled through the last couple of hours. and we're still

seeing some of that pop up right now in the south and the east bay. but they are light showers. certainly see just that light green out there now and the clearing will continue forces get into the afternoon. but we do have a second low pressure system on the heels of this one and that one set to come in as we get into our saturday in the late afternoon. so while today will be clearing out saturday, unfortunately, just about the time when we've got that lunar new year parade getting started is what we're going to see. some of those showers to start track through from north to south. let me show you what i'm talking about here. we are clearing out today. if we take a look at futurecast, we're going to get into tomorrow morning. >> i think if you have any plans in the early hours, maybe you're checking out the oakland zoo this weekend. they're reopening. i think we'll be fine for that as we get into saturday afternoon, though, at about 5 o'clock, you see some of these scattered showers starting to pop up and then heavier showers are going to roll in kind of later in the evening. and so that's where we get into a little bit of trouble. some scattered showers still remaining on sunday morning before this whole thing kind of wraps up and heads out how much rain are we talking about? well, today, not much more about a 10th of an inch, but then as we get into

saturday night and then sunday morning, pretty significant rain totals coming our way. so again, if you are heading out to that parade, just make sure you take the rain gear because i think there's a really good chance. we'll see those scattered showers after about that 5, 5, 30 time frame. here is an extended look at your forecast and notice overnight lows staying pretty nice this weekend. and as we get into next week, we'll get lots of sunshine. looks like a pretty good week ahead. and even a little bit warmer. back to you. >> all right. some helpful advice when it comes to bringing that rain gear to the for a thank you. my love. still ahead, activists of the capital demanding change and additional funding hoping to fight for better education standards for black students. and it's a push for awareness. has autism rates have spiked? what doctors are say ng about the latest numbers.
