breaking now at 5:00, a series of strong earthquakes

strike japan. all new video into our newsroom and the major tsunami warning now in place for that country. also breaking, a firework blast on treasure island leaves one person dead. we have a live report with more on what witnesses say led up to that deadly explosion. and a live look outside. clear for now, but rain is on the way. meteorologist kari hall is tracking when this year's first rainfall will arrive. this is "today in the bay." >> good monday morning, and happy new year. welcome to 2024. i'm kira klapper. >> i'm scott mcgrew. marcus and laura have the new year off. let's start with a look at the forecast. meteorologist kari hall, rain is coming, right? >> that's coming tomorrow. we're dry for today. as you get ready to head out, it is a nice commute. if you are having to get up early and head to work this morning. now, we are also watching out for patchy fog. other than that, it looks good

out there. for tomorrow, the rain as well as the wind will be back, and that continues into wednesday. and then we do have some colder air ahead in the forecast, snow levels will also be coming down. that's kind of been a problem with the sierra. we haven't had cold enough temperatures to keep that snow at lower elevations. so we are now looking at, once again, the dry conditions with the storm well off the coast as we go into the next couple of days. that will be bringing us a big change in our weather. for now, it looks good and we're starting out with chilly temperatures this morning. as we go throughout the day, highs head for upper 50s and low 60s. it will be cooler for the rest of the week. i'll have more on that as well as what's happening on the roads in a few minutes. >> thank you so much. we are following breaking news this morning, japan is issuing a tsunami warning after a series of strong earthquakes rocked the sea of japan early this morning. this is the west coast, so not

the pacific ocean. one quake reaching a magnitude of 7.6. video captured the moment one hit. shaking felt in tokyo. at last check, roughly 32,000 buildings had lost power. there were reports of collapsed buildings. the human toll remains unclear this morning. japan's prime minister says crews will work swiftly to examine the extent of damage and injuries. we will continue to follow this breaking news and bring you updates throughout the morning. also breaking, a young man is dead after a horrific fireworks accident overnight on treasure island. >> "today in the bay"'s bob redell joins us live from the island. bob, can you tell us what happened? >> reporter: good morning to you, kira and scott. a witness tells us a young group of people here on treasure island were lighting off fireworks that this witness described as mortars, when a

young man was injured. it happened around 12:40 this morning, shortly after the count down to 2024. in the video, a woman can be heard crying, where is my baby, where is he, while a body lay under a tarp nearby. this accident outside of apartments here on treasure island. the witness tells us he heard an older adult telling the young people to stoplighting the fireworks because it was getting out of hand, and after this, this witness heard an explosion and screams. police say they gave the man first aid, but paramedics declared him dead when they arrived on the scene. reporting live on treasure island, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> wow, terrible news to start the year. >> just awful. >> bob, thanks. a destructive and dangerous side show in vallejo to tell you about. police say they received all kinds of calls around 3:00 yesterday morning, about that large sideshow. when they arrived on scene, they found three cars on fire and people were firing guns into the

air, and lighting off fireworks. it happened at the intersection of sonoma boulevard and lemon street, near the intersection of 780 and highway 80. police were able to disrupt the sideshow, firefighters arrived to put out the flames. no word on injuries or arrests. a warning from oakland police this morning to people involved in those sideshows, not only can you get a ticket and be arrested, but your car could end up being towed at your expense and held for 30 days. opd has extra patrols on the streets because sideshow activity has picked up over the last few weeks. chp is also urging other drivers who encounter a sideshow to try to find a way around it so you don't get caught up in citations. and this morning we are learning that there is a gofundme to help support the family of the oakland police officer killed in the line of duty on friday. 36-year-old officer tuan le was

responding to a burglary at an oakland cannabis dispensary when he was shot and killed. the nonprofit group oakland chinatown chamber foundation received the family's blessing to open the fundraiser. officer le was in plainclothes and in an unmarked car when he was shot early friday morning. people who live in oakland tell us that le was known for his humility, ability to listen well and his outreach to residents, especially the elderly asian population. police tell us the investigation is active and ongoing. we will continue to follow this story and bring you updates on the air and online as they develop. a number of new laws take effect today, everything from your commute to your paycheck to your job. first, abortion now illegal in 14 states, after the u.s. supreme court overturned roe v. wade, but doctors and pharmacists in california who mail abortion pills to patients in those states will be shielded from prosecution or fines.

the new law bans bounty hunters or bail agents from apprehending california doctors and taking them to another state to stand trial. also starting this year, workers in california will receive a minimum of five sick days annually instead of three. labor advocates say the increase will curb the spread of disease by allowing workers to stay home when they're sick. meantime, some people who live in mexico within 45 miles of the border will be eligible for california in-state tuition at participating southern california community colleges. that's under a new law signed by governor gavin newsom. texas has had a similar program for years as some texans choose to live on the mexican side of the border. for a full list of all the new laws taking effect, you can head to our website, nbcbayarea.com. we're going to give you a live look outside in san francisco. dry out there for now, nice to be able to ring in the new year outdoors.

but meteorologist kari hall is tracking rain returning this week. good morning, kari. >> good morning. if you're getting ready to get up and head out the door, just be careful on your way out. we're starting out with temperatures in the mid to upper 40s, but overall we are looking at some nice quiet conditions, except for the fog. so if you're in the north bay, you do want to allow some extra time to get down highway 101 from novato into san rafael. we are seeing some really dense fog in those areas. elsewhere, the fog is a little more patchy, but we're down to about a half mile visibility in livermore and our temperatures there today will reach up to 59 degrees. overall, we're starting out with some fog and clouds, but as we go throughout the day, it's going to be nice and sunny and that rain will be coming back tomorrow. so we'll have a look at that timeline in a few minutes. getting on the roads this morning, this is a live look at the richmond-san rafael bridge. there is one vehicle going across right now.

and then a little more traffic on the bay bridge as we get started. looking live in san jose, also, very few cars out there this morning. but we have had a couple of incidents, traffic incidents, as we typically see on those holiday mornings, especially as we enter into a new year. just watch out for people who may be swerving on the roadways, and hopefully chp can catch those people. we'll be watching out for that. >> yes, hopefully everyone stays safe. kari, thanks. the new year means new pay for millions of americans. ahead, the state is raising their minimum wage starting today, and of course the ramifications for business. there is still a chance to start the new year as a

loving this pay bump in our allowance. wonder where mom and dad got the extra money? maybe they won the lottery? maybe they inherited a fortune?

maybe buried treasure? maybe it fell off a truck? maybe they heard that xfinity customers can save hundreds when they buy one unlimted line and get one free. now i can buy that electric scooter! i'm starting a private-equity fund that specializes in midcap. you do you. visit xfinitymobile.com today.

happy new year to you. the time is 5:11. we're getting a look at our day planner for mountain view, and we're starting out with chilly temperatures in the upper 40s, but it will be a beautiful and sunny day. but staying on the cool side as we'll struggle to reach 60 degrees for this afternoon. and we'll get a look at the roads, what's happening this morning. i'm just watching this one incident, it is not even on 580, it is on the on-ramp, and we're

just watching for one car that had an accident there and is still maybe a distraction for 580, but not causing any major slowdowns. we'll keep an eye on the roads and weather with an update in a few minutes. as we welcome 2024, millions of american workers will welcome a pay raise. beginning today, minimum wage will increase in half of all of u.s. states. as nbc's sam brock explains, the increase in pay means some business owners will be starting the new year with layoffs. >> reporter: after years of fighting for a higher wage floor in cities across the country, the new year is going to bring a new paycheck for millions of americans, with about half of all states and the district of columbia either raising the minimum wage on january 1st or at some point during the year. hawaii's increase will be the largest, while washington will have the highest minimum wage of any state, more than $16 an

hour. but it's california and fast food workers who are seeing the most seismic changes, after years of struggles. >> i have to pick and choose between rent, groceries and livelihood. >> reporter: now the golden state's minimum wage jumps to $16 at the beginning of the year, and for fast food workers it rises to $20 in april. the mother of six, williams, says that is definite progress. >> we protested every which way to prove our point. >> reporter: but businesses are reacting, especially in california, where several pizza hut franchise owners will reportedly lay off more than 1,000 drivers statewide, and rely, instead, on companies like doordash. for mom-and-pop shops, like frankie's pizza, he tells us it will mean longer hours for him. >> are you saying you would hire more employees, but because of the rate hike that is no longer

an option? >> i cannot do it. i can't. who is going to pay it? i mean, i wouldn't be able to afford to do it. i would have to work longer hours to compensate for that. >> reporter: this new reality for many businesses coming as 20 states still rely on the decades-old federal minimum wage of $7.25, in place since 2009. while workers like williams see new opportunities. >> so many people doubting us, and sometimes i can't even believe it, you know, and i'm just so -- i'm so happy. >> reporter: sam brock, nbc news. well, tomorrow the trading year kicks off with some key economic data, including our first snapshot on unemployment in the u.s., with job openings and then a check of the health of the auto market with new sales data and, of course, the big monthly jobs report that comes on friday. scott, it has been 96 years since mickey house made his big screen debut, and now he is entering the public domain. this version of mickey called

steamboat willy first appeared in the 1928 short film. disney's copyright expires today. that opens the possibility of potential remakes, spinoffs and adaptations. disney, however, still owns the rights to all later versions of mickey. and from mickey to money, you still have a chance to become a millionaire in 2024, because no one won the powerball drawing. >> $810 million up for grabs for tonight's drawing. the jackpot is the fifth largest powerball jackpot of all time, tenth in u.s. lottery history. now, if a ticket matches all six numbers, the estimated cash value would be $409 million. we have to remind you the odds of winning, 1 in 292 million. >> but why do you have to remind us that? >> right?

>> i've always said buy one, have fun. don't buy two, because doubling your chances, it does technically double your chances. >> not by much, right. advice from our guy. kari hall is here with weather and traffic. probably not a lot going on in either today? >> yeah, that's the good thing about it. after this, hopefully we can just go enjoy the rest of the day. we are going to have a beautiful, sunny afternoon, but we are starting out with some fog this morning. i wanted to give you the heads-up about the low visibility in some spots. we're seeing that in the tri-valley as we take a look at this live camera, and in dublin we are seeing dense fog rolling through. now, looking at the bigger picture and what's coming our way, we are seeing storm systems off the coast and we're just kind of in between them right now. so we're enjoying a clear sky and also some cool temperatures. but once this comes in, we're going to go back to the wet weather, the high winds, and even a potential of some

thunderstorms for tomorrow. looking at our temperatures today, we're headed up for the upper 50s and low 60s. overall a coolish afternoon, but then tomorrow it's about the same, but more clouds, and the arrival of that rain. let's go through the timeline of that rain. once again, looking at sunshine for today, but by about 6:00 tomorrow morning, we're starting to see some light rain moving into the north bay, and then it's going to be very spotty, with the rest of the bay area really not seeing the rain until the evening commute. by about 6:30, we're starting to see the rain ramp up, picking up in intensity for the north bay, and then spreading across the rest of the bay area from san francisco to the peninsula, toward the east bay, with a lot of bright colors here indicating some heavier rainfall. so we'll see that tomorrow evening into wednesday. and there's the possibility that we could see anywhere from about a half inch of rain in parts of the tri-valley, to even three-quarters of an inch of rain in parts of the south bay into the east bay.

north bay also looking at about the same rainfall totals. looking ahead, we have some colder storms that are going to be moving in from friday into the weekend. very active storm pattern continuing into next week as well, and we definitely needed that at this point because the sierra snowpack, statewide on average, is only 28% of normal. and think back to a year ago where we were at 163% of normal, so this is a big change. they're looking forward to more snow. we have a little more coming over the next few days, and then looking ahead, it looks like there could be a lot more coming with the potential over the next week or so, maybe even two or three feet of snow, so that would be amazing. and we've been waiting on the cooler temperatures to make that happen, and we're going to see our temperatures cooling down as well. so we have our rain chances tomorrow evening into wednesday, we're dry on thursday, with

another storm coming in friday into saturday. i'll be tracking all of that for you. let's get a look on the roads this morning. we've been looking at the golden gate bridge, where it is a little damp out there, but no major issues with visibility. that's another look at the bay bridge. one of the busier places, but still not a whole lot happening. and then looking overall across the bay area, not seeing any slowdowns, no major accidents. it is looking pretty good. everyone is slowing at speed all around the bay area, including the tri-valley, where we typically start to see earlier commuters heading out the door. you're looking good for now. you can hang out with us and drink another cup of coffee while you're watching. back to you. >> exactly. thanks, kari. well, next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> potholes are doing damage to cars everywhere. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. we'll show you two ways that you might get reimbursed for your repair costs. that's next. and as we head to break, we want to share this photo. our mike inouye posted this on

instagram, celebrating his son turning 18 over the weekend. turning 18 over the weekend. as a gift, he got a scratcher. look mom, i found one. oh, yeah, you did. but we need an atm from our bank unless you want to spend a small fortune in fees.

uh, no, thank you. banking with us means more fee-free atms than the two largest us banks combined. well, that would be convenient but there is no b-m-o here. ah, you can just call us bee-mo, and there is now. you know what else is convenient? mobile banking that makes it easy to track your goals and manage your money get out of town. but we... just got here. when a bank helps you get and stay ahead. that's the bmo effect. ♪ bmo ♪

welcome back. when it comes to the road to the super bowl, 49ers already sitting in the driver's seat because everything fell into place yesterday for the niners

and their out-coming postseason run. it started with domination in d.c. niners took on the commanders. quarterback brock purdy led the way. he set a single season franchise record for passing yards, including a 17 yard touchdown pass, giving the niners a commanding 27-10 lead. he later talked about making history. >> it's an honor, obviously, to be able to break a record like that, to me, just the human side of it, cool, you know, i was just a little kid dreaming of playing in the nfl. to be able to do something like that, pretty cool. but i've got to say it's a testament to the team. >> that is cool. the niners got the help they needed from rival arizona. the cardinals beat the eagles and have clinched their first round bye. they'll hold home field advantage next sunday and close out the season at levi's against the rams. a newest incarnation of

"america's got talent" tonight and this is called fantasy league. howie, heidi and simon will be there. they will each get to mentor an all-star team of ten acts they select from a pool of popular past performers. >> i like doing the mentoring, so you really get to kind of know them up close and personal, find out their journeys, a bit more kind of -- yeah, you are kind of invested a little more. you know what i mean. >> america has got tal ent fantasy league premieres tonight. chris chmura has option to say try to get reimbursed for repairs. >> one quick drop into a pothole can cause a lot of damage, an average of $600 worth, according to aaa. let's look at who pays. two ways.

first, car insurance. the insurance information institute says pothole damage is usually covered, provided you have collision coverage. your deductible will apply, and that's usually $500 to $1,000. but you might be able to get that back. more in just a minute. if you have minor damage, $100 or $200 worth, your insurance might not kick in. progressive says in many instances it doesn't make sense to file a claim. one thing that might make sense is seeking reimbursement from the agency that maintains the road where you hit the pothole. for example, all these drivers hit the same pothole on 101. caltrans maintains 101 so they could theoretically all file a claim to get paid in full or get reimbursed for deductible. download this form from the website and it's only two pages long and you fill out where and when. it also asks how much it costs you. caltrans wants two written estimates or one paid receipt. when you're done with form, you

sign it and mail it to your local caltrans district. in the bay area, that's district 4. don't wait. your deadline to file a claim is six months after the incident. >> six months. that's good to know. chris, thanks. 5:26 right now. next, top stories we're following, including the new year means new laws. the changes you need to be aware of for 2024. i'm bob redell with developing news on treasure

breaking now at 5:30, a deadly fireworks blast. we have a live report on the investigation under way, after a new year's eve accident on treasure island. it gives people options, and it lets them make the decision instead of taking the decision out of the hands of the consumer. >> creating a gender neutral toy section. the new law now in effect and the changes it will require retailers to make. this is "today in the bay." good monday morning. happy new year. i'm scott mcgrew. happy new year to everyone. >> happy new year to you. i'm kira klapper. laura and marcus are enjoying a new year's morning off. let's start with a look at the

forecast. meteorologist kari hall, i swear you never take a day off, tracking what we can expect out there. >> this is a good day to take off because the weather is going to be nice. we are starting out with cool temperatures and some patches of fog, but overall we're looking at a quiet day ahead of some rain that's going to be moving in tomorrow. we're going to also see rain and windy conditions, with some colder temperatures ahead. what that will mean for the sierra, lower snow levels, as well as the bay area. as we take a look at concord and what to expect today, we're going to see cool temperatures to start, sunshine throughout the day, and a nice one to get out and enjoy the first day of the year. as we go into tomorrow, once again, we are going to see rain rolling in, and that's also going to bring in the potential of some thunderstorms late tomorrow evening. so i'm timing that out for you. also giving you a look at what's happening on the roads, an update coming up again in just a few minutes. back to you. >> thanks. we start with breaking news, a short time after the

conclusion of san francisco's fireworks show, a tragic deadly turn on treasure island. >> authorities are blaming it on the unauthorized use of fireworks. "today in the bay"'s bob redell is live on treasure island. bob, what are you learning? you've heard from witnesses, is that right? >> reporter: we've heard from one witness. good morning to you, kira and scott. a witness tells us that a young group of people, they were lighting off fireworks that he describes as mortars, when a young man was injured overnight. this happened at around 12:40 this morning, shortly after the countdown to 2024. in the video, a woman can be heard crying and yelling, where is my baby, where is he? this is while a body lay underneath a yellow tarp nearby with the medical examiner and police on the scene. the fireworks accident happened outside apartments at exposition here on treasure island. the witness tells us he heard an older adult telling the young people to stop lighting the

fireworks because it was getting out of hand. after that, he heard an explosion and screams. police say they gave the man first aid, but paramedics declared him dead when they arrived on the scene. reporting live here on treasure island, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> bob, thanks for that report. san francisco police so far are not commenting o what witnesses tell us was a shooting a little after midnight on market street near the tenderloin. video shows a woman being treated and loaded into a gurney near market and jones streets. that's where witnesses say her car had come to a stop. police at the scene later told our photographer the victim had been shot in her car just a short distance from there, and for a short time overnight the investigation closed traffic on market street. a close call for one ac transit bus driver. police say he only suffered cuts to the head after a stray bullet

from nearby gunfire hit his side window. this playing out last night on foothill boulevard. investigators are still working to determine if people in two cars shot at one another or if the gunfire came from just one car. two passengers onboard the bus were not injured. and the new year means new laws beginning today. as always, there's a slate of new legislation going into effect today that will impact our drives, how we shop, how our communities address drug use and affordable housing. >> we'll go out to the newsroom. "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez is there with what we need to know and the laws we've got to follow. >> reporter: good morning to you, scott and kira. we all like to go out and look for post-holiday sales, and you might notice gender neutral toy sections the next time you go to the store. this is intended to give parents the option instead of these are for boys, these are for girls, and also address any price differences that could come along with those gendered toy

selections. let's go to the new laws that are going to affect your first drive of 2024. a new law allows california energy to create a new watchdog group to investigate gas prices to prevent market manipulation, and also gives the agency new power to penalize refine rice they find guilty of price gouging. if you speed in san francisco, oakland, san francisco and a few other cities, you might get a ticket without getting pulled over. they are among the cities where police can now put up speed cameras in school zones and areas with high accident rates. in san jose, 65 people died in traffic related crashes last year. >> the reality is they're deployed in over 150 major cities around the world, in many u.s. states. where they're deployed, we see a reduction in accidents of over 50%. >> reporter: another new law expands sick leave, giving all

employees at least three days by their 120th day of employment, and at least five days once you've been on the job for 200 days. california will also be able to address the opioid crisis through mobile pharmacies to meet people where they are, where they need treatment. new affordable housing laws will force communities who have been holding out to streamline those affordable housing projects, and it also allows construction on the properties of churches and other religious institutions, along with institutions of higher learning. california's new minimum wage is now $16 an hour, but if you work in the fast food industry, your new minimum wage is $20 an hour. there are new protections for abortion access and new limits for gun buyers and carriers. we have all of this on our website, nbcbayarea.com, if you want to get a little deeper. one of my favorite new laws, no more hidden fees, when you book a service or buy an item online. that means you will know exactly

how much your hotel costs, your food delivery or concert tickets, instead of getting to the end and saying, i actually can't afford it. >> $$36 sfra right at the checkout. >> you mentioned the gun law. one of the state laws that is going to take effect bans people from carrying guns in most public places. you cannot carry concealed firearms in 26 public places, including parks, playgrounds, churches, banks and zoos, even if you have a concealed weapons permit. now, this follows a weekend appeals court ruling blocking an earlier injunction, arguing the new law violates the second amendment. the legal wrangling expected to resume later this month. for a full list of the new laws, head to the website nbcbayarea.com. an investigation is under way after a deadly shooting in hayward just before 1:00 yesterday morning. police responded to reports of a

man lying in the road near the intersection of skywest drive and sueirro street. when they responded, the man was unresponsive, suffering from a gunshot wound. he was pronounced dead at the scene. so far, no one has been arrested. it was a chaotic scene in contra costa county over the weekend. police say a sideshow in antioch led to a police chase saturday night. officers were trying to pull over a driver because they were speeding. the chase ended in a crash near the pittsburg b.a.r.t. station. it started near highway 4. the suspect car plowed into a concrete support near the pittsburg baypoint b.a.r.t. station. while chp officers were helping victims, they say other sideshow cars showed up. >> sideshow cars responded to this area as well, and verbally yelling at our officers and

unknown objects were being thrown at our officers on the scene. it became a little more hostile and allied agencies and additional chp units were able to arrive and assist the units. >> there were five victims in the speeding car that crashed. no officers were injured. b.a.r.t. fare increase for most passengers. b.a.r.t. says the 5.5% increase will generate $26 million to cover rising costs and keep those trains running. now, the average ride will jump by about 23 cents, it all obviously depends on where you're going. not everybody will see a fare hike. low income riders will see their fares cut in half through the clipper start program. 5:39. a live look outside over san jose. a little cloud cover there. nice to have a break in the rain, but meteorologist kari hall says enjoy it today, right? >> right. and today it's going to be nice

and sunny, after the fog we're seeing right now all clears out. our temperatures start in the mid-40s across the bay area, and we have had some issues with fog in parts of the tri-valley, now visibility dropping down to a quarter of a mile. it's been pretty dense with the fog in parts of the north bay with napa down to quarter mile visibility, and also dense fog drifting around the novato area. as we take a look at san jose and what to expect, once we get the fog clearing out by 10:00, it's going to be sunny into the afternoon. our temperature hits the low 60s and we're back down for this evening, and our highs all across the bay area look to reach up to about 60 degrees today, with a mostly sunny sky. we'll talk about the timeline coming up. i want to get you on the roadways this morning with a look at the light traffic we're seeing across a lot of our bridges this morning. as we take a look at san jose, some of the reports i don't like to see. we had a wrong-way driver on 680. i think that has since cleared.

no incidents. that's good news. we do have a new accident we're tracking on 680 southbound. this is near walnut creek and the olympic boulevard exit. they do have to stop all of the lanes for now because there's so much debris and possibly a rollover crash here. i'm watching to see if there's going to be much more of a build-up in the traffic in this area as a result of that. but overall, we are seeing a light flow with very few people out this morning. but we do need to be very careful on this holiday morning. back to you. >> all right, kari, thanks so much. scary scene at a diner, a driver crashed into a building. coming up on "today in the bay," a look at the damage left behind. plus, today is a special day. not only new year's day, but of course the rose parade is happening this morning. happening this morning. we will teak

want luxury hair repair that doesn't cost $50? pantene's pro-vitamin formula repairs hair. as well as the leading luxury bonding treatment. for softness and resilience, without the price tag. if you know... you know it's pantene. listen, your deodorant just has to work. i use secret aluminum free. just swipe and it lasts all day. secret helps eliminate odor, instead of just masking it. and hours later, i still smell fresh. secret works! ohhh yesss. ♪♪

happy new year to you. the time is now 5:43. if you're about to get up and head out, it's going to be a really nice day, starting out cool and foggy. but we're headed for sunshine and temperatures near 60 degrees. tomorrow the rain will be back, and it looks to be a pretty good soaker. we'll talk about how much and how much snow we'll see in the sierra coming up. getting out on the roadways this morning, watching one major incident on 680. it looks like the olympic boulevard off-ramp.

so it's possible that it may not have a major impact to the interstate, but all lanes are blocked at this point because of a rollover crash. i'm watching to see if this has an impact on your commute. more on that coming up in a few minutes. 5:44, monday morning. there are new developments in israel where prime minister benjamin netanyahu is defying calls to resign. the military just announced a major change for many reservists called up. nbc's josh lederman reports from tel aviv. >> reporter: as israeli air strikes rain down on south and central gaza, prime minister netanyahu is vowing the war will go on for many more months, telling the nation the idf needs more time to rout hamas and rebuffing calls to resign after the war. as israel pushes deeper into gaza, the hamas-run palestinian health ministry says another 150 people were killed in a single day. hundreds of others badly

boulevard. good morning, lauren. >> reporter: good morning, and happy new year. we're right along the parade route right now ahead of the 135th rose parade, and we know it's going to start at 8:00. you might be able to see way in the distance some of the floats that will make their way down the road in about the next few hours or so. and we have some dedicated campers that are with us, the burke family from glendora. thank you for being with us. how early did you get here? >> we probably got here sometimes between 4:00 and 4:30. >> reporter: it's chilly. you came prepared. you have the beanies and scarves. >> you've always got to have the hats and mittens and scarves. it's cold out here. >> reporter: how long have you been doing this and what brings you back? >> we've probably been doing this for about five or six years and we found we enjoyed coming to the beginning part of the parade route and getting here early in the morning so we're ready and didn't have to spend the whole night on the street. >> reporter: you look around and you have some people who even

pitched tents to make sure they got their spot. you guys are front row. >> it's really nice to be right here on the curb and feel and experience everything. >> reporter: what are you most looking forward to? you have all of those beautifully decorated floats and you have equestrians. what's your favorite part? >> honestly, i love seeing all the floats and the creativity that goes into it. it's spectacular. and then the marching bands, they're great. >> reporter: it's such a great way to start off the new year. can you feel the energy? it's really early, but it's exciting. >> absolutely. especially when you bands come by, you can feel it. you're sitting right next to them and you see their feet, it's great. >> reporter: thank you so much. it's going to be a wonderful show, a wonderful parade. it does kick off at 8:00 this morning. reporting in pasadena, lauren coronado. >> and of course you can watch the parade right here on nbc bay area. as she said, 8:00 this morning. it's cold, it's like pasadena cold, it's 48. i'm from the midwest.

i think you are, too, aren't you? >> no, i'm from closer to pasadena. it's 47! how will we survive? >> that feels like a negative 48 wind chill. meteorologist kari hall is getting a check of that, too. >> it starts to feel cold if you've been out there for hours and hours. >> that's true. >> i get it. we're starting out with cold weather from our standards this morning, and also looking at patchy, dense fog moving through parts of the tri-valley, and low visibility. watching out for fog as you head out this morning. and then we have another storm that's going to be coming in, but we get a break today as it continue to say move closer to this date, and arriving with some rain by tomorrow afternoon into the evening. so we're looking at sunshine today, temperatures near 60 degrees. it looks pretty good for us. about the same temperatures over the next few days. but then we start to see the arrival of at least some light

rain tomorrow morning, and then as we go into the afternoon the heavier rain starts to move into the north bay. late tomorrow evening it's approaching the peninsula, moving into the south bay and parts of the east bay. that's 11:00 tomorrow night, where we really start to see the rain picking up. and it continues into early wednesday. so between tuesday and wednesday, we're looking at the possibility for most of us getting about a half to three-quarters of an inch of rain, a pretty good soaking there. but we also have more storms ahead. going into the weekend we'll have more rain coming in. on friday afternoon into saturday. i know that may affect some of your weekend plans. we have more snow as well. much needed at this point. because our sierra snowpack statewide on average is only 28% of its normal amount for this date. and one year ago, it was pretty amazing to see all that snow coming down. we were at 163% of normal. the good thing is that we do have snow in the forecast. so between the first storm

system that comes in to the second one, and then the third storm, there's a possibility that we may see maybe even up to 34 inches of snow in kingvale, which will be great for the resorts that are needing snow, not rain. we look at rain in the bay area in our forecast and we are going to see temperatures coming down as well. for our overnights, down into the upper 30s and low 40s. so we do have a couple of rounds of rain coming in that get us started for the new year, while san francisco will continue to see temperatures in the upper 50s. getting on the roads this morning, that's a live look at the golden gate bridge. it is a little damp this morning. maybe misting a bit as you drive across. but overall it's the fog that's been causing issues. and we can see the yellow highlighting there, if you're coming through 84, trying to make that cut through from livermore toward fremont, you will encounter some dense fog. and still watching this incident, it looks like it's on

the off-ramp for olympic boulevard that they've had to close and maybe dealing with a rollover crash in that area. so they're trying to get that picked up. it doesn't seem to have a big impact on 680 going southbound, and our bridges are flowing well across the bay area. so overall light traffic, but just stay safe out there. i'll have another update coming up in a few minutes. happening now, why not kick off the new year with a hike in one of california's many state parks? the park system offers what are called first day hikes in more than 60 state parks. they're guided hikes that focus on the special features each park has to offer. distance, difficulty, start times vary by park, so go to the state parks website to check it all out. and there's much more ahead on "today in the bay," including our climate in crisis. the way the issue could shape the outcome of 2024's critical elections. then ahead at 6:00, we have then ahead at 6:00, we have breaking news, a look mom, i found one. oh, yeah, you did.
