and the ongoing street closures. this is "today in the bay." good monday morning to you. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm kris sanchez. laura garcia has this morning off. we have a lot to get to this morning, but first we want to start with that breaking news in san francisco. "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab is at the scene of that massive fire. ginger, we understand you heard about a rescue. >> reporter: that is correct, marcus and kris. the fire was pretty intense this morning. i'll have more details on that person and the way they saved themselves from this fire. but the huge flames at this point are pout, but you can see behind us the extensive damage that was left behind by this three-alarm fire. we're in san francisco's panhandle neighborhood on masonic, over between grove and hayes streets.

you can see the building which burned down. crews telling me all three floors were on fire when sffd arrived on scene. it was immediately called a two-alarm fire because of its intensity. that intensity you can see here from video earlier this morning, this was taken around 3:30 in the morning, flames could be seen coming from the roof of the burning home. kris, what you mentioned, one person jumped off of the third floor, that's around 35 feet, i'm told, to escape this fire. that person who jumped out of the building, and another person who was able to walk out of the building, have both been transported to a nearby hospital. now, there was a partial building collapse from the building which burned down, neighbors say there was work that was being done to the bottom unit of the home that has not been confirmed by sffd. neighbors have been evacuated and are now in the care of red cross. >> i heard all the fire trucks and i woke up, grabbed all my

stuff and came outside and the house was fully engulfed in flames. >> there was a partial floor collapse in the fire building due to heavy fire burning through the floor itself. we still have firefighters, over 120 firefighters on scene at this time. >> reporter: definitely still a very active scene. the fire could be seen this morning from a distance. you're taking a look at video from the citizen app of the flames, the intense flames also caught on our traffic cameras this morning. now, at this point we don't have an exact number of the people displaced, but you can see that the homes right next to the burned building are still being investigated, are still being searched by firefighters to make sure there are no hot spots. there is extensive fire damage to both buildings on either side of the burned building. the one on the right with a hole in its roof from catching on

fire. now, masonic street is a very busy street in san francisco's panhandle neighborhood. i'm told that this street will be closed for at least the next three hours, at least the next three hours, which will really be affecting people's monday morning commute. fell and fulton streets are also impacted by this, so we'll keep an eye on how this impacts the morning commute, marcus and kris. >> good thing everyone was able to get out. thank you, ginger. >> we will continue to bring you live updates throughout the morning. keep it here for continuing coverage on air and online and we'll check in with ginger for an update at 6:30. a live look over walnut creek, dark and early this morning. nice and clear, too. meteorologist kari hall is monitoring what we can expect weather-wise across the bay area. certainly a cold start to the morning. >> absolutely. take a look at some of these temperatures. a lot of us in the valleys are starting out in the 30s, even low 30s in vacaville.

we are just above freezing in sonoma and santa rosa, and seeing some spots in the north bay also below freezing. as we take a live look outside in dublin, visibility is clear. we haven't had any issues with fog, but it is a cold start and you have to turn the heater on as you head out. we go from upper 30s to low 60s this afternoon. we'll see more weather like this over the next few days. mike, you also have a couple of fires in your report. >> we do, nothing like the one ginger was reporting. these are roadside, typically warming fires we see near on and off-ramps. at mckee, no lanes impacted. also here northbound 880, as you're coming toward hayward, another roadside fire. all lanes open. the slowing is southbound, the build for your commute. here, unusual slowing in the tri-valley, southbound 680, approaching the sunol exit. things are jammed up. there's a crash blocking at least one lane. 84 is definitely a better drive. the backup at the toll plaza is

at the bay bridge. back to you. students and parents in one north bay school district plan to gather following a recent string of on-campus threats. here is a live look at montgomery high school in santa rosa where parents and students will gather at 7:00 this morning in response to several high-profile incidents involving knives. the district will be getting help from santa rosa police as well. school resource officers will now be stationed on campus of each high school between now and next friday, when winter break gets under way. officers will also be checking in on middle schools, and this wednesday the school board plans to address campus safety. our bob redell is at the montgomery high school this morning. we'll have a full report in our next half hour. to developments now in the middle east, and a live look from israel toward the gaza border, where it is daylight already. the world health organization now says that gaza's health system is on its knees and collapsing, is the way they put

it. conditions deteriorating rapidly in southern gaza. new overnight video shows huge plumes of smoke rising over destroyed buildings in southern gaza, and according to gaza health leaders, the number of palestinian deaths since the start of the war now approaching 18,000. israel, meanwhile, releasing new video of troops in southern gaza and military leaders say the video also shows the discovery of a huge stash of weapons. here at home, the battle over u.s. funding for both israel and ukraine remains in limbo. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy is set to visit the white house tomorrow. the white house is warning congress time and resources are running out for ukraine in its war with russia. the administration is making a request for just over $100 billion, including $60 billion in aid for ukraine and more money to help israeli forces. in exchange, republicans want significant changes to the u.s. border policy.

>> we can't do everything on the border, but we can do the things to actually begin to control the border so that the united states is in control of our boundaries, not the cartels. >> i think this is one of the most dangerous moments i've ever faced in american politics and i wish republicans weren't holding israel aid and aid to ukraine hostage to the resolution of immigration reform. >> the white house says the president aides are directly involved in negotiations and are expected to ramp up efforts this week. president zelenskyy is also expected to have a one-on-one meeting with gop house speaker mike johnson during his visit to washington. a late development in berkeley's plan to debate a resolution calling for a cease-fire in the middle east. a new social media post from one councilman indicates tomorrow's debate is now scrapped. palestinian protesters first demanded that council adopt a resolution during a chaotic meeting last month. that led to the council adjourning to another room to finish city business.

the council never took up any debate, it was not part of the agenda at the time. council member robinson now says the resolution has been withdrawn. the posting gives no further indication as to why. for the next week, people along parts of the coast will actually have to brace for the return of the unusually high tides. we're talking about the king tides here, they're back, with peak expected later this week. whenever the king tides return, low-lying areas are prone to flooding. >> those happen in touristy areas and people have got to be shocked when they see sunshine and flooding at the same time. >> embarcadero, some of the piers. they closed the park and ride in the north bay, the manzanita park and ride. that's one of the areas that typically do see flooding. most of us will not have an impact. we're just entering into king tide season and it's because of the gravitational pull of the moon. right now we have a new moon, so it will be a little bit higher in some of those areas. when we get to the end of the

month around christmas, when we get to a full moon, that's when those tides will be coming farther inland and causing more of a problem. this morning, high tide will be at 9:24 in san francisco, coming up to about 6.4 feet, and just a little higher tomorrow, and that will be happening at 10:01 a.m. now, as far as anything that could bring us any flooding rains, we don't see that. it's going to be dry throughout the week. the storm track remains farther to the north and we will see, eventually, a change in this pattern that could bring us rain, possibly by early next week. i'll be talking more about that in a few minutes. mike has a look at gas prices around the bay area. >> the bay area has reached a new low, price i'm talking about. $3.87, national in san leandro on washington avenue. our best price, better than we've seen in months. the new best price in the south bay is $3.94, san jose's arco, and the last number is in the north bay. mill valley's best, $4.19 at hq

fuels on shoreline highway. thank you for sharing on gasbuddy.com. on the roadways, a mild build for most of the bay. the big problem is south 680 at sunol. the exit is partially blocked, one lane is blocked right now. it's jammed, very quickly jammed up from the dublin interchange toward the sunol exit. highway 84 joins with 680 southbound just past the crash. that is a good option. lighter traffic right now, so that will be a good option. to the north, we're looking at vasco road out of contra costa county, now at 25 minutes from marsh creek to 580. no incidents, just the build for the commute. of course, the bay bridge toll plaza, we see the build here. it's slow for highway 4 through concord out of pittsburg and bay point, highway 37 out of vallejo, and of course approaching the bay bridge toll plaza. back to you. >> thanks, mike. one goes too far -- this goes beyond your standard holiday shopping deal.

low 40s. it's a chilly morning. it will be a coolish day with a lot of sunshine into the afternoon. this is the weather we'll see continue throughout the week. we'll talk about when we could see rain in our microclimate forecast coming up. we're looking at the drive out of the east bay, this is richmond heading toward san rafael. the bridge is getting congested near the toll plaza. the span itself is okay. we'll watch slowing there, as well as throughout the rest of contra costa county. a live look at the futures this morning. wall street set for a flat open. this is ahead of a big economic data and interest rate decision. the market is coming off six straight weeks of gains, moving into positive territory friday, following a stronger than expected jobs report, fueling hopes the economy can avoid a deep recession. this focus this week, reports on consumer and producer prices, retail sales and jobless claims. the federal reserve holds its final meeting of the year. it's expected to keep interest

rates unchanged. one of america's leading retailers may be ready to change hands. sources telling cnbc macy's now considering a nearly $6 billion buyout offer. the bidders are privately held companies that would take macy's private in the process. now, macy's shares are trading more than 30% higher on the news, and it's still way too early to know what the future may hold for macy's right here in the bay area. >> good, i've got some errands after work. apple shutting down the availability of third-party apps, enavailabling devices to use the i message service. apple says it's blocking techniques that could exploit fake credentials in order to access i message which can use a risk for security and privacy. it comes after the app enabling imessage which stopped working. it offers encrypted messaging

between ios devices and for many years apple has resisted calls to expand availability to android users so that we can properly name our group chats. but whatever. more signs of a hollywood rebound, award season is kicking into high gear with the golden globes nominations that are out this morning. >> the final film nominations were just announced. earlier they announced the television nominations. the actors include brian cox and kieran culkin. emma stone in "poor things", margot robbie in "barbie." they take place october 7th. >> i've got some catching up to do. >> "the color purple" is not released yet. >> i'm sure they're all fabulous, fantastic. i will say this because so

people understand, i have fallen asleep to many of those. >> not because they're not good. >> i slept through like four christmas movies already. i'm really in the holiday spirit. >> bah humbug. just kidding. well, let's get started this morning, it feels very chilly out there. we're going to have more cold mornings ahead. take a look at where we're beginning. it's 40 degrees in oakland and 36 in walnut creek. in san francisco now, it is 45 degrees, and 41 in san jose. as we get a look at christmas in the park. after this cold start, take a look at our highs today, reaching 62 degrees in oakland, a high of 64 in san mateo, and 64 in dublin and in livermore. now, tomorrow it will be about the same, and once again we're not seeing any major changes in our pattern. maybe a little warmer for the middle of the week as the dry weather and the sunshine continues, with some highs in

the upper 60s for the south county, while much of the rest of the bay area stays in the low 60s. the storm track remaining just to our north, and we are at times going to see some clouds coming in. it may not be until sunday, early next week, we finally see a change in the pattern that could bring us some wet weather. the jet stream has remained well to the north of us and it's been right over the pacific northwest, but we're expecting it to start to take a dip and drive some of that rain into the bay area, starting for the middle of next week or the beginning of next week into the middle of the week. so there's the possibility -- this could change, but looking at some of the colors here, some of our rainfall estimates going out into the middle of next week show about 1 to 2 inches of rainfall for parts of the bay area. and we really need a good amount of sierra snow, but at this time it shows that some of it will be coming down as rain. and by the time it wraps up as snow, it may be only about 2 to 4 inches.

we'll be watching that. once again, that's beyond the seven-day forecast. we may start to see rain chances going up late on sunday, especially for the coastline and san francisco. but all throughout the week our highs reach into the low 60s. mike, how is that commute building? >> the bay bridge looks pretty standard, backup forming. metering lights were turned on just before 5:30 this morning. i was worried about the volume that was visible coming through the area. we see a lot of lights at the golden gate bridge. we do see traffic flowing smoothly out of the robin williams tunnel into san francisco. lots of cars, but we're still doing all right as far as the focus points. mild out of richmond for 580. a little slowing, more for highway 37. we're looking at the bridge itself, a slower drive across the span for the bay bridge, and mild slowing for highway 4. we do have that trend, tapping brakes through pittsburg into concord.

walnut creek interchange moves smoothly. 680 toward sunol, that's where the problem continues. we have a crash with activity and still a lot of slowing through pleasanton. speed sensors are improving around the sunol exit. they may have moved that car from the roadway and to the shoulder. we're looking at a smooth flow of traffic. 84 is a good option because it joins in past the slowing. the south bay just starting to show the second slowing on 101. back to you. opening doors for bay area youth. up next, the way a local nonprofit is changing lives one job at a time. job at a time. this is a great story

6:23 now. a bay area nonprofit is moving kids forward, navigating adulthood and getting a first job is difficult for everyone, and even harder if you don't have the right support. new door ventures is helping to bridge the gap as youth transition into adulthood. the ceo of the program, omar butler, said it changed the trajectory of his life. the skills he learned in an internship program with the mayor's office at 14 are the ones that set him up for success, he says. now he wants to guide kids in the same way. recent his team has been working to address the mental toll from the pandemic. >> what we realize is that mental health issues that were already there became even more

exacerbated. we know in the bay area the high cost of living is displacing families who have been part of communities for such a long time. what we're seeing is young people who are unhoused or don't have stable housing, and that really provides a barrier, creates a barrier for them to think about their future. >> some of the programs new door ventures offers are workforce development, high school equivalency testing preparation, and six-month internship programs. the season of giving in full swing, and this week oracle park is hosting a holiday heroes event for the 29th year. money raised goes towards the weekender weis foundation. there's tons of activities, including snow globes and arcade games. if you and your family can't make it, you can sponsor an underserved child or family to attend. a third of the families at the party are sponsored. organizers say this will help many families get into the

escape. we have a live report from the scene on the overnight rescues, the damage, and the evacuations still under way this morning. "today in the bay" continues right now. thanks for joining us on this monday morning. i'm kris sanchez. laura garcia is off. >> i'm marcus washington. we want to start with that breaking news, crews still there at the scene investigating following the three-alarm fire in san francisco. "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab is live for us there at the scene. ginger, as we just saw, quick thinking from those people inside that home that may have saved their lives. >> reporter: and, marcus, kris, one look at the damage on the building, and you can imagine just why they really wanted to get out of the building. at this point, the huge flames that devoured that fire building are out, but you can see behind us that extensive damage on the three-alarm fire. you're taking a look at the

building right here on the 700 block of masonic in san francisco's panhandle district. we were told that all three floors were on fire when sf fire arrived on scene at around 3:30 this morning. it was immediately called a two-alarm fire because of its intensity. and that intensity you can see here from video from earlier this morning, this was taken around 3:30, when flames could be seen coming from the roof of the burning home. you could see flames devouring the building. one person jumped off of the third floor, that's around 35 feet, to escape the fire. that person and another person who was able to walk out of the building have been transported to a nearby hospital. now, we're also told there was a partial building collapse from the building which burned down. neighbors say there was work being done to the bottom of that unit that caught on fire, that has now been confirmed, that is

being confirmed by san francisco fire. neighbors have been evacuated on both sides of that building, and are in the care of red cross. >> i heard all the fire trucks and i woke up, grabbed my stuff and came outside. the house was fully engulfed in flames. >> there was a partial floor collapse in the fire building due to heavy fire burning through the floor itself. we still have firefighters, over 120 firefighters on scene at this time. >> reporter: now, we do not have an exact number of the people who have been displaced so far. as i alluded to earlier, both homes on either side have extensive fire damage, and those people living there have been evacuated. the building on the right has a hole in its roof from catching fire. we are also checking out the people who have been displaced.

they are at the city college, which is across the street. they will remain here to continue receiving care from the red cross. now, one person has been taken into custody and is under psychiatric evaluation at this point, one person with mental health issues did manage to get very close to one of the fire ladders that had nothing to do with the fire. that person was taken into custody not too long ago. masonic, all of this is happening on a major street of san francisco, so a heads-up to people who are looking for their monday commute, everything on masonic between fell and fulton streets is closed off. we're told this is definitely going to be happening for the next several hours, maybe even up to eight hours on one side of the street, marcus and kris. >> thank you, ginger. we'll be tracking the closure. >> we did send out a push alert on your free nbc bay area app, if you have that. if you don't, be sure to download it. that way you'll get updates from

this developing situation. we want to head over to meteorologist kari hall for a first check of that forecast. kari, it was a super cold weekend. >> it was cold in the mornings, and then in the afternoons it was a little coolish. it wasn't as cold. we are going to have more days like that, where our temperatures start out in the 30s and we only make it up into the low 60s. here is a look at where we are right now as you get ready to head out the door. a few of is just one or two degrees above freezing right now. so it is very chilly. in walnut creek, it is all clear as we get started. we haven't had many issues with fog. we're going to see a mostly sunny day going from upper 30s at 8:00 to low 60s by later today. across the bay area it will be another day with highs in the low to mid-60s. we'll talk about when we'll eventually get some rain, but right now mike has some changes for the crash in sunol. there you go, kari is showing you the crash and the improvement for speeds south 680

down toward the sunol exit. there is some backup as you're approaching the next exit where folks were diverting. again, the crash at the sunol exit is on the shoulder, so 680 is seeing some improvement, although foothill road is seeing more traffic, folks trying to avoid the backup. the rest of the freeways look relatively light. the backup at the toll plaza had loosened up quite a bit over the last ten minutes. starting to see a build once again getting toward san francisco. a reminder, even though traffic is relatively mild, down in the corner, the left corner where it says san francisco, the masonic near grove will be blocked off. there are surface streets just one block over and both of those can take the traffic right now at the panhandle. back to you. >> thanks, mike. ams should really be the focus at school, not the fear of violence. those are the words from frustrated parents and students in one north bay school district, and now the district is responding. >> "today in the bay"'s bob redell is live for us this morning at santa rosa's

montgomery high school. i know that's where police plan to provide some extra security starting today. >> reporter: correct, good morning, marcus and kris. yes, starting today santa rosa police will have an officer at montgomery high and officers at the other high schools here within santa rosa. they will also be doing check-ins at the local middle schools, the school district requested this out of a, quote, abundance of caution for the next couple of weeks. coinciding with this, within the next hour, parents and students are going to gather at the flagpole here at montgomery high to express their concern for the campus safety, after several high-profile incidents at santa rosa schools. the latest incident happened last tuesday and led to a lockdown at herbert slater school, one student tried to assault another with a knife on campus. official allegedly found the weapon, along with marijuana in the student's backpack.

later they arrested two additional students. late last month police say a 14-year-old was stabbed by another student on the campus of santa rosa high school. he was taken to the hospital, later released and officers later arrested the alleged stabber. investigators believe that incident was gang related. that same day, police say a 14-year-old student here at montgomery high left campus after school officials tried to search his backpack for a knife. when officers caught up with him, police say they found a 9-inch knife and a 4-inch blade in his bag and he was arrested. all of this follows a deadly stabbing here at montgomery high school last march, a 16-year-old died after a fight broke out during an art class. the 15-year-old suspect said he was defending himself. authorities eventually cleared him of manslaughter. the victim's family is now suing the school district. on wednesday, the school district leaders will plan to discuss safety on campus at the regular school board meeting. reporting live here in santa rosa, bob redell, "today in the

bay." >> thank you, bob. it is 6:37 now. and turning to decision 2024, former president donald trump is now clear and away the gop front-runner in iowa heading into next month's caucuses. according to a new nbc news poll, 51% of iowa's republican voters support him. florida governor ron desantis gets 19% of the support, slightly higher from october. and this comes despite several recent high-profile endorsements. former u.n. ambassador nikki haley rounds out the top three, with 16% support. a surprise 11th hour reversal from former president donald trump. he says he will not testify in today's civil fraud trial. he announced that late yesterday in all capital letters on his social media platform, saying he has already testified to everything and now claims the trial is interfering with his re-election efforts. he was also set to be the last witness for the defense in the

ten-week trial. while some might be surprised, his defense team had strongly advised against him testifying. especially given the gag order issued by the judge who trump has targeted with insults throughout the trial. this morning, thousands are without power in tennessee after a tornado ripped through the state. the powerful twister tore through homes and buildings, killing at least three people, knocking out power there. crews say that it could take weeks to restore it. that tornado moved through with wind around 150 miles per hour. now, schools in that area will be closed today and tomorrow. on the east coast, people are watching out for storms. people are being told to prepare for thunderstorms as well as flooding. but here, what should folks expect to see? >> this storm is moving quickly and it was just in tennessee. now we're seeing it move out into parts of the northeast where we are seeing in maine, all the way down to new jersey, where that rain is even moving out there now. we're going to continue to see

heavy rain for the next few hours, and the problem in the far northeast is that they've had snow on the ground. now we have rain on top of that, and we're looking at about 1 to 3 inches of rainfall for today that may make the flooding even worse, and then on the back edge of that this will taper off with some snow in some of those areas. so really a mixed bag of weather going from flooding to also seeing some snow as we go into the next several hours. that will, once again, start to move out very quickly. here along the west, we are also looking at some dry conditions, a storm track farther to the north, they've been pounded with storms across parts of the pacific northwest. eventually we may see some of that rain coming down late into the weekend. between now and then, it's just chilly mornings and mainly clear, and mostly sunny days throughout the week. once again, that rain coming back late this weekend, so i'll have the timeline of that in just a few minutes. mike has been tracking a few issues on the roads this morning. >> we're looking at a pretty

typical pattern, but you'll notice lighter volume of traffic, or at least less slowing through concord here, and also over here for vallejo, across muir island. there is a build for walnut creek. contra costa county is pushing toward the walnut creek interchange and toward orinda. we'll watch that. the eastshore freeway is actually a little bit better than we often see, and that's the trend toward the end of the year. we talked about that. over here we still have this where ginger has reported the scene of the structure fire, the fire is out, the activity continues. masonic is blocked for a couple of blocks around grove street. keep that in mind. that's just on the north side of the panhandle. not far from there this evening, we have a menorah lighting at jane warner plaza, so there will be transit disruptions through that area. back to you. >> thanks, mike. trying to help pets in dire need, coming up, one group is trying to get 100 senior dogs adopted in a matter of days. we have some simple ways you can

help out. and the niners roll past one of their division rivals. a small step they don't even have to take to clinch the spot in the playoffs. it may happen by tonight. and check out the winter wonderland at tahoe this weekend. it wasn't all fun and games. a very sca encounter some skiers had on the slopes. we're going to show you wild

good monday morning. let's get you started. it is cold outside. we'll have a cool day, going from temperatures in the upper 30s and low 40s in mountain view, to about 57 at noon, and a lot of sunshine into later today. but we only make it up to about 60 degrees. we'll see more weather like this, but we'll talk about when we'll eventually see a change in our overall pattern coming up. mountain view, san mateo bridge, lots of places to see other cars. we're looking at san mateo bridge with a smooth but slower drive here. we'll show you the build that's happening around the bay. a big push is under way across the state to find homes for senior dogs. it comes because so many shelters are overcrowded and workers have very difficult decisions ahead. muttville dog rescue in san francisco, which helps get shelter dogs age 7 and older adopted, says they have a lot of need at their local shelter. dog shelters are overcrowded

this holiday season, which means that shelter workers have to decide whether to euthanize some of the dogs that they don't have room for. over the next ten days, muttville is aiming to take in over 100 dogs, but also get them adopted. >> we sent out a massive email to all of our partnering shelters, and they were all just very happy to hear that we were going to take their older dogs. some of them are really facing being euthanized. >> the shelter has brought in 50 dogs and have managed to find homes for 33 of them. this time tomorrow, the niners may have officially punched their ticket to the playoff. yesterday at levi's, the team extended its hot streak, winning their fifth in a row. christian mccaffrey raced 72 yards for the first play of the game. it led to a 7-0 lead. the second half, the niners pulled away. george kittle with that 44-yard

touchdown, made it 28-16, which ended up being the final score. afterwards, quarterback brock purdy talked about trying to keep a steady mind-set. >> if we handle business and take it one week at a time, obviously who doesn't want to play, as the first seed with home field advantage and all that kind of stuff. i think everybody in the league knows that, we know that here. like i said, we're taking it one day at a time and everything will fall into place. >> the packers play the new york giants tonight. if green bay loses, which kris says is not going to happen, the niners clinch that playoff spot. next sunday, the niners take on another divisional rival when they travel to arizona. >> it has less to do with how good the packers are and more to do with how bad the giants are. happening today, the glide foundation is working to feed families for the holidays as they do every year. workers and volunteers at glide center are filling thousands of bags of groceries today. this is video from the event

last year. the foundation will distribute bags later this week at the annual glide on the go grocery bag giveaway. they will continue filling bags tomorrow. as the local community gives back, one legendary performer is getting everybody in the holiday spirit with a new special tonight. >> yeah, i spoke with barry manilow about a barry christmas. he's been doing shows like this on the road for years, and now with nbc and streaming, even more families can watch. he's been performing at westgate las vegas resort and casino, it's a stage he's so familiar with. he broke elvis presley's record for the most shows performing there 637 times. the legendary performer says it is all about spreading cheer. >> you'll forget your troubles, get happy, you'll forget what's going on outside for about an hour. if i can't make you feel good, or sad, or whatever the song is, then i'm not doing my job. >> he does his job well.

you can catch that special tonight at 10:00. it will be available on peacock tomorrow. >> our christmas party is coming up. i want a jacket like that. >> i'll call him. that's my buddy now. a bay area buddhist temple is preparing for the new year by making a lot, and i mean a lot of mochi. >> mountain view buddhist temple kicked off its annual event at dawn yesterday. volunteers gathered to pound and shape more than 1,600 pounds of the japanese rice cakes. you see the guy on your right, we know him, that's mike inouye. mochi is used in savory and sweet dishes. the tradition dates back more than a thousand years. >> so my parents used to come and i would come with them. so i'm the second generation to come. it's a lot of fun. >> this is really an opportunity for us to bring the community together, which is fantastic, because as you can see behind me, we have multiple generations, from little kids to their grandparents, all coming

together. >> the temple sells the mochi it makes every december, so there might still be some if you're looking. we have a connection here. if you're looking for a rice pounder, that one you see in the gray shirt is mike and he's feeling a little sore. taking a little advil this morning. >> i did. i was just counting, you saw eight pounds there. i did it for ten, so you saw the majority of my work for the day. >> do what you can. the question is, did you bring any? >> i did. it's very plain. it's not the sweet kind that everybody has. we'll add some toppings and talk about traditions after the show. sorry, folks. >> you're so good about posting stuff on facebook. >> i'm excited about that. well, new at 6:00, wait for it, take a look here. watch, a little out of place there. this is a ski run. >> oh, my gosh! is it chasing its lunch? >> i hope not.

it was a bear, kris, not chasing lunch. clearly taking the wrong turn at heavenly in tahoe. somebody posted that close call on tiktok. running through as folks were on the slopes. as far as we know, there were no other bear sightings reported. when you look back, wow, that's cool, but then, wow. >> look, right there. >> what if he bumps into you? >> can you imagine if you're a new skier? i don't know what to do! >> there's nothing to be afraid of. >> that's usually what i look like when i ski. >> going fast. close encounter. no, thank you. you can see there was some snow. we have a little more in our distant forecast and we'll talk about that. but we've just had some cold mornings out around the bay area, and very chilly

temperatures. this is where we're starting right now. as we get a live look at walnut creek, it's 36 degrees, 40 in oakland, and in san jose it's 41 degrees. we are at 45 in san francisco. this is where we're headed today, the temperatures about the same as what we saw over the weekend, with highs in the low to mid-60s, some of those mid-60s in the south county. there's really not much of a change tomorrow, even as we look at some of our valley temperatures, where we are going to continue to see 60s over the next few days. so what about rain? it's going to take a while, but eventually we're going to see a change in the pattern. it may not get to us until later into the weekend, into early next week. we've had this zonal jet stream where there isn't any big waves to it that will change where we're seeing that storm track. it's been targeting the pacific northwest for quite a while. so maybe on sunday into the middle of next week we could see it shifting farther south, a little bit more of a wave to

that jet stream that could bring us some showers and the potential, as of now, it looks like a good soaking, about 1 to 2 inches of rainfall, while the sierra may initially start to see this coming down as rain, could see this taper off as snow. as of now, it looks light, about 2 to 4 inches of snowfall. our seven-day forecast shows nice cool mornings, crisp cool mornings, and mild afternoons. a lot of sunshine. we are staying dry throughout the week. mike, you're watching subtle changes. >> subtle changes and i watch this every day, all day. we're looking to the bay bridge toll plaza, which is moving a little better. we have a more loose lie packed backup at the toll plaza, indicating a lighter flow of traffic. speed sensors, no problem through the maze. eastshore freeway, speeds dipping as folks start to tap their brakes. a build in richmond at the toll plaza toward san rafael. holding steady for the rest of contra costa county. recovery here for south 680,

still slow through sunol toward fremont. back to you. >> thank you, mike. happening now, families in san francisco will have to wait a little longer before they can hit the ice at chase center. thrive city ice was supposed to open yesterday, but the opening is postponed because the rink is not yet ready. officials say construction of the synthetic ice rink has been slow because of delays in getting the materials that they need. the rink now is set to open on wednesday at 5:00 in the evening. next, a quick look at breaking news we have this morning. a three-alarm fire ripping through a duplex in san francisco. we're going to take you there live at the scene with more on the rescue

welcome back. here are the top stories on

"today in the bay," including some breaking news. >> there was a massive duplex fire that left people scrambling in san francisco. "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab has been at the scene all morning. ginger, we know there was at least one person who had to be rescued, right? >> reporter: that is right. and you can see just why that person took extreme measures to get out, now that the sun is coming up, you can see how extensive the damage is on that three-alarm fire on this building along masonic street in san francisco' panhandle neighborhood. from the window you can see through the roof because the roof collapsed on this fire. we're told that all three floors were on fire as soon as san francisco fd arrived on scene. it was immediately called a two-alarm fire because of its intensity, and that intensity, you can see from earlier this morning in this video taken around 3:30. flames could be seen from the roof of the burning home. one person that you mentioned,

kris, jumped off of the third floor, that's around 35 feet, to escape the fire. that person and another person who was able to walk out of the building have been transported to a nearby hospital. there's also a partial building collapse from the building which burned down. neighbors say there was work being done to the bottom of the home that has now been confirmed by san francisco fire. neighbors have been evacuated and are now in the care of the red cross. we're working to learn the exact number of people that have been displaced, but as i mentioned, i just spoke moments ago to the gentleman that lives in the home next door. he says he had to also hop a fence in trying to escape the fire when they woke up this morning. so you can really just get a sense of how frantic people were and how quickly this fire spread. now, just very quickly, masonic remains closed from fell until fulton streets. we're told that will remain that way for the next several hours. >> thank you, ginger. we did send you a breaking news
