advisory, as well as a frost advisory, until 9:00 this morning. cold temperatures up there and across the bay area. that's where we are seeing the lowest numbers right now, just one degree above freezing in santa rosa. we are also feeling some very chilly air coming through the tri-valley into fremont, and mostly low 40s elsewhere. as we head into the afternoon in the north bay, it's going to be a nice but cool afternoon. we will have a lot of sunshine as our highs head for the low 60s today. we'll also see more weather like this into the weekend, so i'll be tracking that. mike, you have another look at that crash in san jose. >> yeah, we still have this overturned rig blocking the off-ramp at the brokaw exit from northbound 101. the rig is intact. inside we're told those are vegetables. no injuries to the driver. we still haven't had that truck moved. the crash happened just after 3:30 this afternoon. this was taken much earlier. we have the slow lane blocked

getting past the scene. the map will show you the slow lane is blocked and we have a jam, traffic northbound 101 is jammed up. you can exit at the de la cruz exit and get onto surface streets. other than that, we have no slowing for the south bay. in fact, the bay is showing a light commute. metering lights are on at the bay bridge. back to you. >> thanks, mike. we begin with breaking news this morning. while you were sleeping, a police standoff putting an east bay neighborhood on lockdown. that lockdown has been lifted. authorities saying it started with violence, involving a husband and wife. "today in the bay"'s bob redell is live in pleasant hill this morning. bob, what have you been able to learn about this? >> reporter: good morning to you, marcus. we are still trying to confirm with pleasant hill police whether the man who barricaded himself inside a home in the sherman acres neighborhood behind me here in pleasant hill, whether or not he surrendered overnight, or if police had to take him into custody by force.

pleasant hill police tell us that around 7:00 last night this man allegedly shot his wife, injured her. she was taken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries. this taking place on the 200 block of cleopatra drive. this is a neighborhood bordered by 680 and monument boulevard. her husband would not surrender after the shooting, did barricade himself inside a home there. police locked down the neighborhood for several hours. they asked residents to shelter in place while they tried to communicate with this man. then sometime just before 1:30 this morning, police released a statement indicating the neighborhood was reopened and the standoff over. again, we are trying to confirm how the standoff ended. reporting live here in pleasant hill, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> certainly a frightening start to the morning. thank you. and we have some more breaking news this morning. the united states added 199,000

jobs in the month of november. scott mcgrew is poring over the jobs report in our newsroom. >> you warned us the numbers would be muddy. >> muddy, indeed. we have to account for the workers returning to work last month as the uaw and hollywood strikes came to an end. those workers have new jobs, and that is muddying up some of the data we're looking at. that said, the jobs number is softer than it's been in the past. that's good and expected. the feds have been trying to slow down the economy. it seems like they've mostly succeeded. the unemployment rate drops a bit, down to 3.7% from 3.9%. wages up 4% over the year. a 0.4% increase from last month. those are the headlines. we'll delve into them as we talk business in just a few minutes. >> thanks a lot, scott. let's go now to a live look at capitol hill, where lawmakers are just a few days away from

their holiday recess. there's still a lot of work to be done for any deal to take shape to help fund israel and ukraine. lawmakers are expected to work through the weekend, but talks are stalled in the senate, with the demands from gop lawmakers to add border and immigration reforms to any agreement. the white house is warning of dire consequences if a deal cannot be reached. here is what senators on both sides are saying. >> republicans have to get serious, everybody has to change their outlook. it's crunch time. now or never. >> the commander in chief, joe biden, needs to wake up and do something about our broken border. >> the white house contends president biden is open to compromise and there's still optimism senators will reach a new agreement before the end of the year. a man accused of a string of violent attacks in the south bay is due in court for a plea

hearing. authorities arrested kevin parkourana in june after an alleged rampage spanning 20 miles. this covered areas in san jose and milpitas, leaving three people dead, seven others injured. investigators say the former tech worker was armed with a kitchen knife, which he used to stab four victims, while striking seven others with vehicles he carjacked. court documents later revealed the suspect had a history of violent and mental health issues. two people are behind bars after attempting to steal from two lululemon stores. officers say the thieves were caught running out from the back of a los gatos lululemon with nearly $4,000 worth of merchandise. police arrested those suspects. they then connected the pair to another lululemon robbery just an hour before over in gilroy. the suspects were booked on organized retail theft charges. later today, state leaders, including governor newsom and nancy pelosi, will help celebrate a recent massive investment in a new high-speed

rail line connecting las vegas to southern california. the white house this week approving $3 billion in funding for that new line. once complete, it promises to transport riders between los angeles and sin city in two hours. right now the tab is estimated at about $12 billion, with a plan to complete by the year 2028. leaders will hold a virtual news conference for that announcement. 6:07 now. we're taking a live look at i-80 near truckee. it's still dark, but you can see some of those lights on the freeway, on the roads. if you're headed to lake tahoe this weekend, you're going to need those chains. caltrans says chain controls are in effect for parts of highway 50, interstate 80, highway 88 and highway 20, for all cars, except four-wheel drive vehicles with snow tires on all of its wheels. >> kari, you were saying earlier, it's cold up there. anything on the road could cause

some slippery situations. >> maybe those people were pulled over to put chains on this morning before you head up the incline. we are seeing temperatures and wind chills in the teens and single digits this morning. the rain and snow that's already come down may be freezing at this point and making for a very slippery drive to the sierra. as we take a live look at our palisades tahoe camera, it's very beautiful. once the sun rises, we'll see the snow on the upper mountain. we'll look at the temperatures and what to expect throughout the weekend. overnight temperatures in the teens and 20s, with highs going from upper 30s today to 50 degrees on sunday. so it's still going to be a cool weekend, but as far as any more additional snowfall, it's going to be a while. we're now seeing conditions drying out there, and hopefully road conditions will improve as well. we'll get a look at our forecast as the dry weather continues and the cold air settles in. mike, as you head to the gas pump, it's hopefully a little

lower. >> we're keeping our eyes on that. you were right about the area with the caltrans camera, that is near the beginning of the chain control area for 80 at truckee. in the south bay, if you're fueling up to head over to the sierra, we're looking at santa clara. the ten best prices are below 4 bucks. today we're going to call out the $3.97 arco. next number, san ramon, slides in at $3.99, national petroleum on san ramon valley boulevard. heading through vallejo, grant on springs road with $4.21 a gallon just off eastbound 80, a couple blocks off the freeway. the roadways, speaking of freeways, a smooth drive for most of the bay. the south bay continues with the closure north 101, we'll update that coming up. we're looking at a typical slowing for highway 4, highway 37, really light traffic through contra costa county and over toward the bay bridge. again, this closure north 101 does cause the biggest backup in

the bay. more detail coming up. parents, maybe your kids should be playing video games after all. coming up, listen to this, we're going to tell about a professional gamer making a lot of money. when i say a lot of money, i mean a lot of money. more than doctors, even. >> the parents can play video games, too. i can learn. >> we'll talk about it. plus, holiday lights galore. the north bay tradition making a return this year, and a south bay home getti a whole lot ofng

good friday morning. right now at 6:13, with a cold start across the bay area, you may not think of the beach as a good destination for today. but we're going to check out half moon bay, where our temperatures start out in the mid-40s, but it will be sunny and overall pretty pleasant. you just need to bundle up here and across the bay area. we know the water is cold. we're looking toward san jose and see a smooth drive in front of our camera, 101 north just north of 680, there's still the closure, crash and continuing work going on. we'll talk about that and the complication for the silicon valley. good morning. very happy friday to you. disney talking about getting rid of office space at its emeryville pixar studios, that according to the san francisco business times. general motors ceo telling office workers they've got to come back to the office three days a week.

originally the ceo had promised permanent flexibility. it's jobs friday. we just got the numbers into the newsroom. we brought them to you at the top of the hour. 199,000 jobs added last month. you do have to figure in the returning strikers last month, but the two numbers that really stand out are unemployment and wages. the unemployment rate fell from 3.9% to 3.7%. wages increased relatively small, up 0.4% month to-month. for the average person, that's about 12 cents an hour. that's good news for the economy in general, but rising wages are a sign of inflation. we're looking for evidence of softening as the economy -- as evidence the interest rates are working and we don't need any more of them, thank you, fed. so conflicting data today. wall street is not quite sure what to make of it. the 49ers play the seahawks this weekend. a lot of people, no doubt,

betting on the game. you can bet on specific parts of the game called parlays. you can bet there will be a turnover on the seahawks first possession, for instance. if you link a lot of those weird bets together, say a turnover, followed by a 49er touchdown, followed by a two-point conversion, and you're right about such an unusual combination, you can win a lot of money. i spoke with an online expert who helps people make bets like that, and wondered, how much money is he making helping other people. >> so it's kind of like a full-time job, even when i'm not necessarily working, i'm still on my phone just looking to see what players have what lines. so, yeah, it's definitely a full-time thing. >> can you give me some picture as to what the income for you is? >> so i don't like to say the exact numbers, but i will say we're making -- this year we're going to make over $5 million, and that number just keeps rising. >> at the 5:00 a.m., marcus just

gasped. >> i wasn't expecting that number. i was expecting $800,000 or something. >> that guy goes by joke, and he's one of my guests this weekend. by the way, he knows a lot about sports, obviously, if he can advise people how to bet. he also knows the video game world. you know madden football, right? >> right. >> this is him being introduced at the streamed championship madden game. he won to become best in the world a few years ago. i asked him, if i am playing madden and i want to beat my friends, what should i do? >> the main thing is just run shotgun bunch. that's been the best formation in madden, i think, since maybe 2008, and we're in 2023. it's been the best formation for 15 years in a row. if you're just a regular person who wants to get better, if you run shotgun bunch against your friends, you can pick any play and more times than not you're going to be able to find players open in that formation. >> talk about news you can use.

shotgun bunch. we're going to talk about sports, flying cars, artificial christmas trees and take you to a christmas market in france this sunday on "press here" right after "meet the press" sunday morning at 9:00. >> what won't be there? >> a lot crammed into a half hour. >> scott, he's pretty young. >> yes, he is. making six figures playing madden and heard about the millions doing the online advice. he's found his gig. >> look at that. >> gig, indeed. >> i might have to give him some competition with that madden. it's not too late to learn, right? it's never too late to learn. >> never too late to learn. >> thanks a lot. happening tomorrow, winterfest returns in the north bay. the 36th annual lighted boat parade and fireworks is tonight in sausalito. the event starts at 5:00 and fireworks will start at 7:15. you can buy tickets online. and one home in san jose working to spread holiday cheer.

extend into much of next week. ahead, we will have a chance of rain next saturday. so it looks like that's going to be our next chance of rain. so as we take a look at our highs for today, reaching into the upper 50s and low 60s for the north bay, with petaluma headed for 60 degrees. we'll see a high of 60 in santa rosa and vallejo. later on this evening, if you're going to the fantasy of lights drive-thru, you'll probably want to keep the windows up. we'll see it dropping into the mid to upper 40s and it's also going to be a light wind with a mostly clear sky. then we also have let's glow sf, the last weekend you'll be able to check it out. we'll see temperatures around the city in the low 50s, and, yes, another clear night here, as our temperatures continue to drop. we'll start out tomorrow morning in some parts of the bay area with frosty conditions, if we see temperatures in the upper 30s that's cold enough for frost to develop. we'll see that in concord.

morgan hill down to 34 degrees. freezing in the south county. also freezing temperatures for the inland valleys and parts of the north bay. so cold mornings ahead, but, also, looking at the rain staying away from the bay area. now, it does get really close at times, but it looks like it's staying off the coast or just to our north. next saturday is when i'll be watching out for the possibility of some widespread rain, so get out there and enjoy all of the lights this weekend, because next weekend may be a different story. we do have temperatures that will head for the low to mid-60s, getting a little milder for the middle of next week. in san francisco, low 60s for highs at least through thursday. mike, those metering lights activated at the bay bridge? >> they were activated the normal time. this is a friday, so we're just now starting to see a backup. this is almost 45 minutes after they were turned on. we have the build here, it's light throughout much of the bay, approaching the bridge itself. highway 37, light slowing.

highway 4 had the slowest drive early in the morning. it continues now. we're at almost a half hour, not quite for vasco road coming off of marsh creek toward 580, which moves slowly at the dublin interchange. just a little brake tap for hayward. the volume is building. typical patterns. atypical, this slowing for san jose. northbound 101 slow from just north of berryessa all the way up to brokaw where the exit is closed. still have an overturned rig blocking the off-ramp and the slow lane just before the airport. that thanks, mike. with the flexibility of working from home, many left the bay area during the pandemic. but with companies forcing workers to return to the office, the demand for housing is skyrocketing. skyrocketing. still ahead, o expert breaksne look mom, i found one. oh, yeah, you did.

welcome back. 6:24 this morning. you know, many offices turned to remote work when the covid-19 pandemic hit, sparking an exodus with californians moving out of the state. but a recent report shows more than a quarter of a million people in the bay area are being asked to make it back to in-person working in the office. companies like zoom, meta and google are requiring employees to work in office at least part of the week. for many who moved out of state, that meant giving up their low interest rate mortgages to buy

their new homes at two or even three times their current rate. now those who left the state are scrambling to find housing, and with limited inventory, it means higher prices. as local real estate agents explain, it is difficult for that search right now because the bay area housing market is not what it was back in 2021. >> limited inventory does mean higher prices and many are not able to move back closer to work due to affordability issues as the rates increase. >> the california association of realtors released its 2024 outlook, predicting a rebound for the state's real estate market next year. as inflation cools and the economy slows down, mortgage rates should fall, helping buyers. things are starting to brighten up for sharks fans and last night may have been the highlight of the season so far. the sharks visited the red wings over in detroit, and the game started off poorly.

the wings got out to a 4-0 lead, but the sharks tied it at 4-4 in the second period. in the final minute of regulation, it was again tied at 5-5. from there, it went to overtime and the sharks won 6-5. the sharks have now won five of their last seven games. go sharks. >> let's go, sharks. a lot more ahead this morning. the supreme court could make a big decision today, but it won't be the final call. a hearing getting under way over the highly controversial abortion pill. plus, the holidays mean that it should be full shopping season here in san francisco, but for some local vendors, they say business has been a bust. we'll talk about that mission venders ban venders ban look mom, i found one. oh, yeah, you did.

still there. i did catch a peek off of cal tran's camera. i think they might have brought this rig back onto its wheels. we'll take a full look at this. we are looking at perhaps produce in the back. things are very slow in the area, heading northbound we have the slow lane and the exit closed right now. you can use the de la cruz exit just past that if you want to get onto surface streets. there's slowing from alum rock past the scene. we're just now starting to see a little more traffic. light traffic throughout the bay. we'll continue to track it. back to you. >> thank you so much. turning to breaking news this morning in pleasant hill, roads are clear and shelter in place has been lifted after a standoff last night. police put that order in place after they say a man shot his wife, then barricaded himself inside of their home. this is on monument boulevard. his wife was taken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries. it's still not clear how the

standoff ended, whether the suspect surrendered or if officers took him by force. of course, we will bring you more information as it comes into our newsroom. in a matter of hours, sidewalk vendors in san francisco's mission district are planning to march, pushing back against a ban. "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez joins us live now with the message that they are really trying to send to local leaders. >> reporter: hey, there, ginger. you know what the city is like this time of year. there are more people coming into the city to shop and visit, so you would think that street vendors would not have enough time to take their march to san francisco city hall. but they say that with this temporary ban in the mission on street vending, they have a lot of time on their hands because business has been a bust. now, the mission district is in the midst of a 90-day street vending ban, an effort by the city and the supervisor for the mission district to crack down on people selling without permits, illegally or worse,

sometimes threatening department of public works crews when they try to enforce the rules. although the city rented space for some of those vendors to operate during the 90-day ban, one man tells us he's making 200 sales a week instead of 200 sales a day. the spokesperson for the mission vendors association says this is not sustainable. >> it was, unfortunately, an ill-timed move, and right now the vendors will tell you themselves, they're suffering, they're not selling. this is their peak month. on the flip side, you have all of the same activities that the supervisor said would be cleaned out by doing this. >> reporter: now, the city and community organizations launched a holiday event to get people to shop the mission, sanctioning two new marketplaces, hosting el tiangue night, and next friday there's a abuelita

cookoff. there's a vendor pop-up closer to christmas and a celebration of the three kings day in january. i'm going to post a link to all of that on my social platforms and link it to nbcbayarea.com. that's the city's effort. there's an unofficial grassroots effort to buy out the vendors tomorrow at mission and laura streets to try to help them make a little bit of money. while the city says the ban is already working in the heart of the mission, these vendors who are marching to city hall are doing that to show it's not working the same for everyone. in san francisco, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> so many of those vendors have been doing that for such a long time, so this really hurts. thanks a lot, kris. >> and with permits. >> with permits, that's right. thanks for staying on top of that. now, happening today, the weigh whether or not to hear arguments on the future of the most widely used abortion pill. justices will meet behind closed

doors to review three appeals. the first challenges the fda approval of one of the original abortion drugs. the other two seek to uphold rules allowing easier access. the white house and drugmaker filed those appeals. if the high court chooses not to pick up that case, the most recent appeals court ruling would immediately limit availability of the abortion pill by mail. justices may announce their final decision as soon as today, or as late as next month. now to decision 2024, and a new poll showing east bay native barbara lee is far behind in the race for u.s. senator. the public policy institute of california finds southern california representative adam schiff is leading the race with 21% support. another southern california representative katie porter is in second with 16%. leading republican steve garvey, has 10% of support.

straight times. go niners. meteorologist kari hall is here. kari, i know the rain has been on and off this whole week. now it's super cold. i don't know if the rain is going to come back. should fans bring their rain gear? >> we don't need rain gear for quite a while. we're going to see nothing like what seattle has up in their home spot. we're going to see sunshine, temperatures that are going to be milder, in the low 60s for the game on sunday. it looks really nice. if you're going out there, you just want to make sure you're dressed for the cooler weather and the sunny sky. for tonight, maybe you'll be checking out downtown berkeley for holiday on the plaza. we're going to see temperatures during the afternoon in the upper 50s. later tonight, as soon as the sun sets, the temperature will be dropping, so wear the layers. also tonight at the enchant light maze and village, you'll want to make sure you're dressed for the chilly temperatures. it will be all clear as the dry weather continues into the weekend. look out around san francisco.

show you northbound 101, where all the traffic is jammed up, that's headlights coming toward us. the slow lane is blocked as you approach the area. this truck, i think it had to pull that rig on its wheels. it's on its wheels. that's good news. the truck was intact. i don't know if they can wheel it out of the area. if they can drive out of the area, that would assist them in clearing this. the driver, i'm told, is okay. you see the slower drive northbound from that point. folks are getting off at alum rock to get to surface streets. that's it for the bay. back to you. >> thanks, mike. the ceo of openai dealing with more problems, but this time it has to do with a wild coyote in his san francisco back yard. up next, how he feels about the animal making itself at home. hunter biden indicted again. what it means legally and what it means politically. let's talk about financially. let's go out to the big board. we got softer than expected jobs

once we make it to midmorning it's all clear. the rest of the day is sunny as our highs reach into the mid to upper 50s. a look ahead to the weekend in a few minutes. it's a tale of two views. this is 580 through richmond heading toward the bridge into san rafael. more traffic flowing, more backup. we are looking at clear skies right here in this shot. look at that beautiful sun coming up. we're looking at the backup in the south bay. that's the biggest issue, the crash and closure coming up. well, new at 6:00, a popular san francisco business owner is now considering a run for mayor. i just confirmed this within the past few minutes. 34-year-old who owns manny's in the mission district, a bar known for hosting numerous political events, is considering the run. he says his recent visit to a family in israel made him do so. during the hamas attacks on october 7th, he was caught in an air raid and says the moment led to enormous self-reflection.

he plans to make a final decision on new year's day, that's ten months before the election. no reaction so far from the white house over the latest indictment of joe biden's son, hunter biden. >> this new indictment was expected, yet at the same time it's still shocking. >> expected, shocking, all siem ul simultaneously. hunter biden didn't pay his taxes. he has now, he's paid them back. unlike you and me, he did not pay his taxes when they were due and those added up to nearly $2 million. this was one of the issues hunter biden had bargained a plea deal over which fell through, which means now he's facing accusations again and could spend time in jail. that's the expected part. where it gets rougher for hunter biden is the indictment itself. the money he's not paying taxes

on are coming from foreign deals. not illegal that we know of, just foreign deals. and biden, according to the document, knows he's supposed to pay his taxes, but instead the defendant, quote, spent this money on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels, rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature. in short, everything but his taxes, according to prosecutors. hunter biden also faces a gun charge in delaware alleging he lied on a federal form. these are both part of that deal that fell apart. so there are all kinds of nuances and complexities to this. first, it's extremely unusual for the government to threaten jail time for not paying taxes, especially if you paid them back eventually with interest. so the case is unusual. it's brought by the justice department, which works independently from the white house. that undercuts donald trump's

argument the doj isn't being independent. he says it's a partisan group out to get republicans. but the doj is simultaneously prosecuting trump, a republican candidate for president, and the current democratic president's son. trump blames the doj for most of his trouble, even if that has nothing to do with federal charges or federal court. this is civil court. he was in new york yesterday, nothing to do with the department of justice. listen. >> the doj, the white house, in order to hurt a political opponent and, actually, it's driving up my polls because the people of our country get it. >> it doesn't come out of the doj. the other major implication on this new indictment, of course, is how it affects his dad. the president is not accused of wrongdoing in the indictment, and a recent inquiry by the house oversight committee was unable to come up with any specific accusation against the president. but republicans are pushing

forward with an impeachment inquiry anyway. they could vote on that as early as next week. now, note, this is not an impeachment. it's an impeachment inquiry, the authorization of committees to investigate the president, which former speaker of the house kevin mccarthy asked them to do already, anyway. so we'll continue to watch for any movement, by the way, on the ukraine situation. as you well know, they have not funded ukraine in congress. we'll have the latest if they do. we'll be watching that carefully. back to you. >> thank you, scott. well, new at 6:00, it looks like wiley e. coyote has shifted his sights on a ceo. sam altman reportedly has a coyote in the back yard of his home. the new interview after "time" magazine named him ceo of the year, he talked about the

coyote, sharing photos his wife took. this is from the social media, san francisco animal care and control. trending now, it is a busy morning for some local elves out there. the group dig deep sf helping buy gifts for underprivileged children for the salvation army's annual giveaway, especially for these children in the age group of 8 to 12, often overlooked in traditional toy drives. >> joining us now from a target over in san rafael is major matt madsen from salvation army. good morning, mat. thanks again for joining us. it sounds like things are gotten even busier since the last time we spoke to you. how much money have shoppers raised so far? >> so far, we've already run through the registers nearly $80,000. you can see behind me this pile of toys. this is going to be going to lots of families in need, and it

wouldn't happen without a lot of support and friends raising money and going out and doing the shopping with this army of elves. >> i love how you told us earlier a lot of the shoppers helping you are kids in the age group of 8 to 12 you are specifically looking for as well. talk to us about the importance of just filling the void that some of these kids in certain age groups don't get the toys they want. >> it's very easy to buy for the toddlers, the real young ones. you get the little tykes sort of toys. as kids get older, they get sold on certain products, certain items, so we thought rather than doing market research, let's bring in the experts. we brought this group of teenage elves to help do the shopping. >> last time we were able to see those teenage elves, pushing carts. now you look at all those toys. it looks like you're going to need some time to get those distributed. when are you going to start

that? >> we're going to load these onto the truck and bring them back to our warehouse and on the 19th of december at our distribution center we're going to be distributing this all to families that have come to us for seasonal assistance. >> and last thing i want to ask you, if someone is watching at home and they're like, my gosh, i want to help now, can they still help and how can they do so? >> absolutely. this is a busy time of year for the salvation army. we do a lot throughout the year, but this time of year is very busy. if you go to sanfrancisco salvationarmy org, you can learn what we're doing. >> you did a great job. those elves, give them a round of applause. they did a great job, too. >> yes, they did a great job. >> thank you. >> they must have gotten a workout pushing those carts around and picking out toys.

they probably didn't feel the temperatures this morning, kari. >> they all had on hoodies. that's what you need this morning. make sure you're layered up. we're starting out cold, we have a frost advisory and freeze warnings in effect for parts of the north bay until 9:00 a.m. then the rest of the day into the weekend is going to be sunny and calm. that weather continues into next week. then ahead we're not seeing a chance of rain until next saturday. so right now it is really chilly out there, temperatures are in the mid-30s in livermore. we are at freezing in santa rosa, and it's 40 in oakland, while palo alto is at 36 degrees. a look at our high temperatures across the east bay, this is what we'll see all around the bay area. san ramon hitting a high of 58 degrees, and 57 degrees today in antioch. if you're going to glow farry, the lantern festival at the oakland zoo this evening, be prepared for a temperature right at sunset at 55 degrees. it does get even colder as we go

the brokaw exit is still closed. we haven't gotten an update from the chp. typical slowing for 101, 87, and a shift, the ripple for 280. back to you. health leaders are issuing a new warning about tainted cantaloupe. it's tied to a salmonella outbreak responsible for at least eight deaths in north america since mid-november, with at least 230 confirmed cases, including eight right here in california. the cdc says many were triggered by pre-cut cantaloupe that was sold in clam shell packages and trays. if you don't know the source of your fruit, you're being urged to avoid eating it. up next, a top look at the stories we're following this morning, including lockdown lifted overnight, relief in the east bay neighborhood as that lengthy police standoff ends in the early-morning hours. new developments on how that drama came to end, and the shooting that started it. plus, san francisco sidewalk

welcome back. we're moving you forward with a look at the top stories on "today in the bay." starting with breaking news in the east bay and the end of a long police standoff. >> it started around 7:00 last night in pleasant hill near monument boulevard. that's when police officers say that a man shot and injured his wife inside their home on cleopatra drive. now, she has non life-threatening injuries, her husband then barricaded himself inside that home. police locked down the neighborhood, issuing a shelter

in place. the neighborhood is now reopen. it's not clear if the man surrendered. taking a live look at the big board right now. stocks opened slightly higher. the dow and s&p 500 are still on track to break a five-week winning streak. the new report shows the economy added nearly 200,000 jobs last month. the data is a little skewed with actors and writers coming back to work and those count as new jobs. the unemployment rate dropped to 3.7% from 3.9%. sidewalk vendors in san francisco are organizing a march to city hall today as they struggle with a temporary ban in the mission district. the 90-day ban is a byproduct of the city's effort to crack down on the sales of stolen goods. vendors today are trying to make their point it's not working for everyone. there's an unofficial grassroots push to buy out the vendors
