concrete lamppost comes crashing down, and you hear this big boom, and all our windows cracked. >> right now at 5:00, terrifying moments at golden gate park, after a huge tree crashes on top of five cars. ahead, we hear from a woman who became trapped in her car with her children. former president donald trump wins big in iowa.

ahead, we break down his victory in last night's caucuses and how much closer he is to a possible return to the white house. and we're tracking more rain in the forecast. meteorologist kari hall has the updated timeline. this is "today in the bay." >> good morning to you on this tuesday. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia. we'll check in with mike, he's got a look at our roadways for this tuesday morning. lots of folks back to work. first, let's start with a look at the forecast with meteorologist kari hall. >> good morning. we're starting out with clouds and rain not far behind. we're going to see rain coming in today, and you can see all the clouds off the coast there. the rain getting closer to our coastline. we'll see this morning in over the next couple of hours, we'll be tracking with stormranger, our mobile doppler radar. we can see the scan as the rain starts to move into parts of the coastline and north bay. we're going to see the north bay getting light rain into the

morning, as well as the early afternoon, the rest of the bay area will have to wait until this evening before we really start to see rain coming in. and we'll see off and on showers into tonight, getting heavier around 9:00 to 10:00, and then gradually tapering off as we approach sunrise tomorrow. so i'll have more on how much you can expect and what's ahead coming up. mike, you've usually got some road work, we do, as usual. oftentimes it is north 680 and the crew is reported on the grid. you see the closure northbound. over the weekend we didn't have that closure because of the rain. they haven't rescheduled when the southbound side will be closed. but we know there's continuing construction projects through that area. highway 87 shows a little slowing both directions. they had crews overnight. the grid does indicate the crews have cleared from their work. more work that's going on, we talked about this yesterday, there will be crews north and southbound 101 between mountain view and san jose, during the

course of the day from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., we're talking about the crews expected to slow things. bob redell is going to give us a report. he's on 101 and we'll talk more about what to expect. roads are clear after a massive tree fell across a busy road in san francisco's golden gate park. there are concerns about more wet weather heading our way. "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab is live at the park this morning. i understand this is a eucalyptus that fell and you were nearby when it happened. >> reporter: that's right, marcus, i was at my daughter's soccer practice, very close by when it all happened just down the street from crossover, where the 135-foot eucalyptus tree fell. the massive tree that fell blocked out at one point both the north and southbound lanes of crossover. it happened around 4:00 yesterday afternoon. the tree fell on top of five cars, which were occupied by 11 people. fortunately, no one was

seriously hurt. this woman was in the blue tesla with her husband, son and daughter. they were not hurt, but shaken up. >> we have a glass rooftop. this big tree and the concrete lamppost comes crashing down, and you hear this big boom, and all our windows cracked. my first reaction was, is there blood, because there was glass everywhere. >> reporter: two people did suffer minor injuries, a spokesperson from san francisco fire says the difference in how all this played out came down to seconds. the vehicles were moving when the tree fell down, and had the tree fallen a second later, it would be a much worse scene. now, the cause of why that 130-tree fell, that's still being investigated. it seems like the rains have just begun, and if you could remember, last year's storms, that led to a lot of downed trees here in the city.

it's hard to tell. be careful if you can be, when it comes to how the trees will react to the rain that we may be expecting. >> so true, ginger. glad everyone was safe in that incident out there. thanks, ginger. the first presidential contest of decision 2024 is officially in the books. former president donald trump beating his political rivals in a huge landslide. if the results are any indication, his competitors have a tough road ahead if they want to be that republican party's nominee. nbc's political reporter, noah pransky, joins us live from new york. let's take a deeper dive on some of these numbers we have here coming out of iowa. trump, the projected winner, with 51% of the vote. former florida governor ron desantis is a distant second with 21%. former u.n. ambassador nikki haley dropped to a third at 19%.

so many analysts really say this is an indication of the stronghold that trump continues to have really on the republican party. he's got that base. is the iowa caucuses, do you think, any indication of what we will see possibly in the primary states of new hampshire and south carolina as well? >> reporter: yeah, i think it's worth pointing out the polls pretty much nailed the turnout and expectations in iowa. as we look forward, new hampshire is a different story. that's in one week. new hampshire is different because independents are able to vote, new hampshire being a more educated, more affluent kind of state than iowa. there are expected a lot of moderate to say come out and possibly lift nikki haley over trump in new hampshire. after that, we pretty much return to the same kind of state, south carolina and nevada, where trump is expected to dominate. if the polls are any indication, there's not really a path forward for any other candidate barring an upset. >> so let's talk a little

strategy here. ron desantis outperformed polls, as you saw. the former president beat him by more than a 2-1 margin there. early polls had haley coming in second place. she eventually finished in third. can they do anything, i would imagine at this point, these other candidates, to try to stop the president's momentum at this point? it's so strong. >> reporter: one could drop out. but i don't think either one of them sees much reason to do that at that point. at this point, it doesn't seem like haley or desantis are running for the vice presidential pick. they're just kind of there hoping that the other one will bail out. if the other one doesn't and donald trump continues to just collect 50% of every set of delegates, by super tuesday this thing will be over. in fact, if nikki haley doesn't win in her home state of south carolina or if ron desantis doesn't pull an upset in south carolina, this whole thing will be over by early march. >> wow. okay, so you talk about vivek ramaswamy dropped out of the race after finishing a distant fourth last night. he made so many headlines

following his performances in several debates. was it a surprise to see him drop out at this point, or are you kind of surprised that he lasted this long, that he stuck in it? >> reporter: he had his own money to kind of support this really hard-working campaign. he put all of his chips in on iowa. he worked harder than any other candidate and made more campaign stops over the last few months. at the end of the day, he positioned himself as the heir apparent to trump. i don't think this is the last we'll hear of vivek ramaswamy. but for this year he'll probably just go ahead and be a trump kind of cheerleader the rest of the way. >> noah pransky, thank you so much for joining us. the "today" show will have even more coverage ahead. nbc news hallie jackson will report live. plus, steve kornacki breaking down the numbers in-depth all coming up on the "today" show

right after "today in the bay." 5:08 this morning. happening today, one of three suspects tied to the deadly shooting of an oakland police officer is scheduled to make their first court appearance. officer tuan le shot in december in an unmarked car as he responded to a burglary at a cannabis store near jack london square. late last week prosecutors charged a third suspect, 34-year-old marquise cooper, extradited from southern california. two other suspects also face murder charges. a fourth suspect is facing burglary charges. time to get a live look outside in downtown san jose. beautiful start to the morning. dark and early, of course. meteorologist kari hall has a look at those cold temps as we start out the morning. also, you're talking about incoming rain? >> we've got a bit of it all coming in. we have been dealing with some mild weather in comparison to the record-breaking cold they've been talking about, plunging all the way from the northern plains

to the gulf coast. new orleans this morning at 28 degrees. so we're starting out in the upper 40s for now, and it's also mostly cloudy. a look at san jose once again, where our day planner shows that we will see temperatures going from the upper 40s to 60 degrees for today, and then the rain will be coming in for this evening. most of us seeing the rain later today, so i'll have that timeline coming up. mike has a look at what you can expect at the gas pump. >> you can expect a little better than a few days ago. the top five in the state, now top of our list. it's $3.54 at great gas on los gatos. next is $3.57, so we're doing well. this is central gas on spring road in vallejo. and we're going to round out this list, it's in contra costa county, $3.75, the national on clayton road in concord. good stuff. all shared through gasbuddy.com. on the roadways, we're looking at a smooth drive, the

construction crew did indeed clear, northbound 680 out of sunol toward pleasanton. we talked about contra costa county, and no slowing at vasco road, a good meter. highway 4 is at speed, antioch toward concord. back to you. >> thank you so much. 5:10 right now. an alcohol delivery service taps out. coming up on "today in the bay," uber shuts down a delivery app that once dominated the marketplace. the changing economic conditions that led to that downfall. and the richest man in the world wants more money, and more power. ahead in business news. >> don't we all? also, a rare honor when it comes to entertainment. the crowning achievement for one certified superstar with his win

good tuesday morning to you. it is 5:13. it may be back to work, so let's head to the east bay. we're going to check out hercules, where our temperatures will start out in the mid-40s. then as we go into today, it's headed for the low 50s as rain comes in by 2:00 this afternoon. most of us seeing the rain later today. we'll time it out for you coming up. i'll show a little farther south, alameda county, we have oakland's nice drive northbound with taillights past the coliseum, down toward the san mateo bridge. the big commute is starting to build a tad bit.

good morning. very happy tuesday to you. we will open where we left off on friday, the markets were closed on monday. apple says it's ready to sell apple watches without a pulse ox detector if the courts rule against it in a patent case. that decision could come today. shares in tesla under a lot of pressure. we'll talk about this in a minute. let's talk about john deere. john deere has signed a deal with starlink to deliver internet to its tractors in places where internet is hard to get. the "wall street journal" the first to report that. if you're wondering why tractors need internet, you haven't been on a farm lately. many tractors drive themselves and the farmer pays attention to crop data and satellite pictures as he's out standing in the field. elon musk has written to the board of tesla saying he wants more power, more voting shares, more money. musk says he wants 25% of the vote, enough to influence, he

says, but not enough to do anything unchallenged. he's hinted at a new incentive structure as well. musk's bonuses at tesla are controversial. a group of tesla investors have taken tesla's board to court saying they're too generous to musk. his pay, based on the growth of tesla, is staggering, $56 billion. but tesla did grow enormously under that plan, it's 11 times bigger now than when the company first announced musk's first compensation plan. and openai announced new curbs on the use of artificial intelligence in campaigns. video of the iowa caucuses here. openai will restrict the use of its chatgpt prohibiting chat bots that act like candidates and prohibit the creation of content that discourages voting. obviously campaigns will still use them. also new restrictions on what you can draw. you can draw the candidate, for

instance, a very realistic picture, but you can't put a bottle of tequila in his hand. >> lines you don't cross. speaking of tequila -- >> uber shutting down an alcohol delivery service it purchased for more than a billion dollars three years ago. drizly boomed during the pandemic that had technology to lal liquor stores to deliver alcohol. uber plans to focus more on its core services, including groceries and alcohol deliveries from its own uber eats app. the drizly app is going to shut down in march. trending this morning, he is still standing, or i should say ♪ he's still standing ♪ >> elton john, at 76, the global superstar has officially achieved egot status.

[ laughter ] >> well deserved. >> absolutely, congratulations. let's get started this morning. we have some changes in the works. we are dry for now, but eventually we'll start to see rain coming in.

let's get a look at how we stand as far as -- where we stand as far as how much rain we've measured and how much we need to catch up to normal. we are still running some deficits, meaning we've gotten below our normal amount of rainfall to date. santa rosa measuring over 14 inches of rainfall, still lacking over an inch of rain to catch up to normal. you can see what the numbers are looking like with the biggest rainfall deficit in oakland, where we are lacking about 3 1/2 inches of rainfall to catch up to normal. we are going to enter into a much more active storm pattern starting later today, with the rain very close by. our temperatures will be cooler in the north bay as the rain arrives first. we're looking at highs in the low to mid-50s. farther to the south, we're going to see highs up to about 60 degrees today. tomorrow, once the rain clears, it will be a touch warmer with low 60s. it's going to be a nice day. we just have to make it through the rain as we start to see at

11:00 light showers moving into santa rosa, calistoga, approaching napa, and then it starts to really roll in as we head toward the evening commute. by 5:00, we're seeing light rain farther south and it gets heavier for the north bay and continues to work the heavy rain from north to south later on tonight. it will be clearing by this time tomorrow morning, and we're looking at, for most of us, about a quarter inch of rain. could be as much as a half inch of rain for san francisco on northward. but we are going to see a pretty good soaking overnight while the sierra gets light show at about 2 to 6 inches. there will be a lot more rain and sierra snow on the way going into the weekend. in fact, we're watching the potential of bigger storms, possibly two more storms, starting on friday and continuing into monday. it's going to be raining off and on this weekend, so just a heads up, as you're already making weekend plans, that it looks pretty soggy. you may be able to get some activities in during the breaks,

but those breaks may be very small. and we are going to see temperatures continuing to reach into the upper 50s and low 60s. mike, it seems like it's an easy drive across the bay bridge. >> it is great right now. nothing to really impede you out of oakland and the east bay, into san francisco. both directions at speed. whoa, a little blip on the incline. we expect more traffic. we do have one crash over on the shoulder at nave. i don't know how to say that exit. if you're in the area. over here, a smooth drive from the carquinez and benicia bridges. a little fog registering. we'll see that change as the forecast shows the rain coming in. smaller crashes on the shoulders of freeways. no impact toward the lanes and no major injuries for those indicated on the map. we do have a little slowing already showing up san martin toward morgan hill. it does indicate more volume coming into the south bay. back to you.

>> thank you so much. next here on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> what does your bank know about you? turns out, quite a bit. and they'll show you if you ask to see. i'm consumernvestigator i

. welcome back. it's 5:24.

most of us know the big credit bureaus keep a file about us, a credit report. >> did you know that banks do the same kind of thing? you actually can see your file for free. consumer investigator chris chmura shows us how. >> recently i ordered what i'm calling my banking bio. here is the sample report. no, i'm not going to show you my real one. sorry. this report has years of bits and pieces banks have collected about you and quietly stored. the federal government requires them to give you free access if you ask. if something is wrong on your report, a bank might deny transactions, put limits on your account or even close it. let's get your report. go to earlywarning.com. several banks own early warning, known for operating zelle. to see what they know, start in the home page on the upper right corner. click on the button that says your consumer report. we chose the option in the middle that says we would just

like to see the report. from there, you can call on the right, or fill out a form on the left. my call took just six and a half minutes. no waiting. a rep collected basic information, including my social security number. then she sent a text message and i replied with a copy of my driver's license. that was it. a few days later early warning emailed me my report. it looked like the sample we showed you with detailed banking data down to the month. if this sample report were mine, i would be concerned about the account that said it was closed for cause. if there's an error, early warning says you can contact them to understand the report and take action to fix it. >> always good to know. thanks, chris. coming up next, the top stories we're following today, including a new show of force, opposing the teardown of people's park in berkeley. we'll talk about the action planned in just a matter of hours. several lanes of 101 will be shut down later this morning here in the south bay. the impact on your morning

right now at 5:30, lane closures set for highway 101. ahead, we have team coverage on the impact it will have on drivers, and the workaround you may want to keep in mind. donald trump crushes the iowa caucuses. who is out and what is next coming up. and honoring the late dianne feinstein. the change you'll soon notice at

sfo cementing her lasting legacy. this is "today in the bay." good tuesday morning to you. thank you so much for starting your morning with us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. let's get a look at that forecast this morning. meteorologist kari hall is tracking what we can expect. we know when we see a lot of grain the rain is coming. >> the rain is on the way. we do have a little time to get through our morning and make it through the commute before we see the rain coming in for the afternoon commute. but it will first start in the north bay, we're tracking it with stormranger, our mobile doppler radar, and that's going to keep us ahead of what's going o. here is a look at the timeline for a spot like napa, where we will start out cloudy. at 8:00, it will be in the mid-40s, headed for the low 50s today, and rain developing as we go into the afternoon and continuing. now looking at what to expect with our hour-by-hour forecast, it will be mostly cloudy. notice that the north bay is seeing light showers until we

really start to see that activity ramping up later today, and getting heavier as we go into tonight. so i'll be tracking that. we'll talk more about how much you can expect. that's coming up in the full microclimate forecast. >> thanks, kari. some major road closures to tell you about on 101 this morning. it's going to impact thousands of commuters. >> we have team coverage. mike inouye breaking down alternative routes. first, let's get to "today in the bay"'s bob redell live near highway 101 in mountain view with more on the closure there. bob? >> reporter: good morning to you, laura and marcus. starting at 9:00 this morning, so a few hours from now, caltrans will be shutting down several lanes of highway 101 in both directions, starting at shoreline boulevard behind me here in mountain view. as you can see on this map, extending all the way down south for 14 miles to 13th street in san jose. now, it should be clear, this is not an entire shutdown of highway 101. there will still be traffic, but it will be slow traffic because

a number of lanes will be shut down, which, again, could impact the late morning commute. caltrans says it's shutting down the lanes so crews can do maintenance work on the road. that means removing old tires, clearing up debris that has gathered over time to make the highway more safe. >> you would think they could find a better way to do it than close whole sections of 101. >> it's definitely going to be a lot longer commute time. it's going to be less sleep. i'm going to have to wake up earlier just to get where i need to go. >> reporter: here is another look at that map. this impacts highway 101 between shoreline boulevard and mountain view and 13th street in san jose. this is today through friday, from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. so if your commute takes you on this route, you want to maybe consider another alternative way to get to wherever you're trying to get to. reporting live here in mountain view, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks, bob. let's check in with mike.

i know you have some alternative routes that will help a lot of folks. >> for the bulk of it, it's 14 miles. for folks who are saying shoreline to 13th, i don't know where 13th is in san jose. oakland road is a good reference point. i don't know if 13th actually reaches the freeway itself, but that's what caltrans sent out in their release. we're reporting it that way. we know oakland road as a major on and off-ramp. at 4:00 in the afternoon is when we already have the build coming down 101, but we also have the build southbound 85, which is one of your southbound alternates to get to 280. this stretch between san jose and cupertino is your most direct and easily accessed route. but that will add more traffic onto 85, so do keep that in mind. 85 between cupertino and mountain view may be more heavily traveled as folks travel between 280 and 101. we're looking at the morning commute, a very easy drive. we should be seeing this build

right here around oakland road again, where it first starts in the morning right about 5:40. that's in about seven or eight minutes. we already see a little volume build across the bay bridge, little blips here and there. highway 4 into concord out of pittsburg and bay point. we see slowing out of vallejo. we're on schedule for typical builds. with the rain coming in as well today, we'll watch for any changes as far as visibility goes as well. back to you. speaking of the commute, new overnight commuters may want to brace for headaches in the north bay after a gas tanker overturned about three hours ago in san rafael. it happened at northgate drive. no one was injured but first responders say the tanker is still leaking fuel and nearby residents are being told to keep their windows closed. hazmat crews are on the scene. that roadway will remain closed indefinitely. the crash is being blamed on a

truck suspension issue. happening today, people who oppose plans to redevelop berkeley's people's park are organizing a protest on the nearby cal campus. the school recently received approval to block off the park and secure the future construction site, even with legal challenges still playing out in the state supreme court. once the project is done, it will provide 1,100 new student housing units and include permanent low income housing. opponents are planning to hold a rally this afternoon. 5:35. to the results from the iowa caucuses. former president donald trump easily won last night. really trouncing his opponents. >> scott mcgrew, everything went right for president trump last night. >> everything. good morning. not only did he win by a lot, more than any other republican in the history of the iowa caucuses, the competitor he's most worried about came in third. here are the results. donald trump got 51%, ron

desantis 21%, nikki haley a close third at 19%. desantis' relatively strong showing keeps him in the race. that's good for trump, bad for haley. candidate vivek ramaswamy's night was disappointing. a distant fourth, and he dropped out of the race. >> the first hard truth, and this is hard for me, i've got to admit this, but we've looked at it every which way and i think it is true that we did not achieve the surprise that we wanted to deliver tonight, and i think that's just a hard fact that we're going to have to accept. >> i want to congratulate ron and nikki for having a good time together. we're all having a good time together. and i think they both actually did very well. i really do. i think they both did very well. we don't even know what the

outcome of second place is. >> we do know now. desantis in second, haley a close third. a win in iowa is very important, of course, because it's first for republicans. you need 1,200 delegates to win in iowa. trump won 20 last night. lots of candidates lose the iowa caucus, but win the nomination. trump lost it in 2016. biden in 2020. and sometimes winning doesn't help. i said trump had the second biggest win in iowa history. the guy with the biggest win was walter mondale. >> the nbc news projected winner of the iowa democratic caucuses, former vice president walter fritz mondale, which show his support is very broad and deep. the man from minnesota, a neighbor of iowa, a protege of hubert humphrey, winning here impressively. >> mondale would go on to represent the democrats in the general election against ronald

reagan, and he lost the general in the worst defeat in modern history. iowans clearly not bothered by donald trump's legal troubles. he starts a new trial today in new york city, the second civil trial brought by e. jean carroll. in the first, a judge ruled trump culpable of sexual assault and slander. from here, the republicans move to new hampshire. that will be a very difficult race. new hampshire is a traditional primary, a standard vote, and independents can vote in that race. desantis spent a huge portion of his war chest in iowa, but haley has been working new hampshire hard. that vote comes up next tuesday. and then california gets its say coming up in march. >> thanks so much, scott. it is 5:38 for you right now. taking a live look at sfo, where happening as soon as today, the international term nat renaming to honor a legendary bay area

lawmaker. airport commissioners are expected to approve the naming of the terminal after late dianne feinstein, she spent more than 30 years in the u.s. senate, after moving up from san francisco's board of supervisors. she died last september at the age of 90. the proposal is expected to pass easily, and does not require further approval from city leaders. >> it's kind of amazing to be here so long to actually have known some of these people. we're taking a live look outside in san francisco on this tuesday morning for you. kari is tracking rain in the works. you see it in your radar, don't you? >> yes, and even though we can see the clouds over san francisco, the rain is not too far off the coast. we're going to see that rain coming in, mostly this afternoon for much of the bay area. but tomorrow is going to be a really pleasant day, as the sky clears we'll have slightly warmer temperatures. we are tracking some heavier rain and wind for the weekend and the potential of flooding as

we get a couple of storms moving in. we're enjoying some of the breaks we see for now. in gilroy we have a start this morning in the low 40s and then at noon we're at 54 degrees, headed for the upper 50s today. and rain arriving around 6:00 this evening. so that's where temperatures will be slightly warmer compared to what we'll see in the north bay, with highs in the low to mid-50s there. and because we are going to see some fog and clouds in parts of the delta and the tri-valley, it will keep temperatures there a little cooler as well. i'll be tracking all of this. mike, you've been watching the roads. any issues popping up? >> nothing major. most of the issue i'm watching is the forecast you're talking about and the changing conditions. we are looking toward the situation that changed a bit, south 101 at the 380 interchange there. there is active on the shoulder of the interchange. a little investigation going on. it's not a major crash and there's a distraction, though, i think because of the flashing lights. we'll continue to follow that. 101 at 380, a bit of slowing as

you head south. meanwhile, a smooth drive for the sensors, contra costa county shows a typical build and same for the north bay. the bay bridge toll plaza, no drama. just a little more traffic as well. there will be a full closure, your access from alameda under the water, through the posey tube, will be closed overnight. scheduled maintenance. folks know getting from alameda to oakland, they'll have to use the bridges just to the south. it will be open by tomorrow morning's commute. this will affect during the day today from 9:00 to 4:00, bob redell is over there on scene talking about the sweeping work going on between shoreline and mountain view and oakland road, where we already see the slowing we talked about just a few minutes ago. >> thanks, mike. 5:41 right now. another boeing-made airplane forced to turn around, but in this case involves a model that's been made for years. still ahead on "today in the bay," boeing's new issue following alaska airlines recent scare. and here at home we're

at noon it's only 56, and not soon after that we'll need umbrellas as the rain moves in. most of us see the rain this afternoon. we'll time it out and talk about how much to expect in a few minutes. we're watching the timing at the bay bridge, getting a little longer as the metering lights look like they've been activated. there's a slowdown as you approach the toll plaza and slowing on the incline as the commute builds coming out of the east bay. we'll talk about more coming up. >> thank you. it is a quarter until 6:00 right now. the family of a richmond couple are in mourning and left to ask a lot of questions after the pair was killed over the weekend by a suspected drunk driver. it happened early saturday in a chain reaction crash on interstate 5 outside of san diego. they were headed to tijuana airport after a trip to cabo to celebrate her birthday. they leave behind six children and eight grandchildren. one of their sons says his

mother was a devoted family woman who immigrated to the u.s. with her two children to seek a better life. >> people had their differences and mom was able to set them aside and show people that, hey, being passionate, you know, just showing love, that everyone just remembers her energy. >> he says his stepfather was the only father he's ever known. a 28-year-old woman is in custody facing charges, including driving under the influence and vehicular manslaughter. developing right now, recovery teams have suspended their search in a small plane crash from sunday night off the coast of half moon bay. >> "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez joins us in our newsroom this morning. are investigators any closer to learning what happened? >> reporter: this is such a mystery. we do know today federal investigators will arrive to help figure out what went wrong. they will take a look at evidence that the san mateo county sheriff's department and coast guard collected off the

coast of moss beach. searchers found propellers and parts of a small plane. these were gathered and taken to a storage site for investigators with the national transportation safety administration to examine and analyze. witnesses at moss beach reportedly told investigators that they saw a plane flying erratically before it disappeared into the ocean on sunday evening. the plane is believed to have taken off from the east bay. also found in the water, the body of a woman who is believed to have been on that plane. >> a local fisherman found what they thought in the water was the body of a female. the timeliness and the proximity of where the wreckage was located gives it a good likelihood that this is one of the people that was aboard that aircraft. >> although the search for a second person believed to have been on the plane continued for several hours, it was suspended because the conditions are so dangerous, even in the daylight. officials say it is likely no one would have survived.

before the search was suspended, the search covered 28 square miles. now, the ntsb's preliminary report is likely to take 30 days and a final report could take one to two years before we know what truly happened. >> all right, thank you very much, kris. it is 5:47 right now. developing news this morning, boeing so far not commenting on an announcement that says a crack in the cockpit window of a 737 jet forced pilots to turn the plane around. it happened on saturday in japan. the plane landed normally without losing cabin pressure. the airline says the crack was found only in the outermost layer of the four-layered cockpit window. boeing is laying out new quality control measures in response to the sealed door panel that blew off mid-flight a week and a half ago. that led to terrifying moments for passengers and an emergency

landing. the new measure includes adding more outside independent inspectors on its assembly lines. boeing's 737 max 9 planes remain grounded as the faa continues its investigation. this morning new findings show more parents financially supporting their children well into their adulthood. a new survey finds one-third of parents financially support their children past the age of 18. that could mean anything from continuing to live at home to paying all of their bills. also, more than half of those parents call it stressful financial burden. more than 75% say doing so impacts their own finances and about half say that they actually had to cut back on their own living expenses. 34% have taken on more debt, and 27% had to prolong their retirement date. while it's normal to want to help your children, financial advisers say there are ways to help while avoiding the added stress. >> it's really important to

figure out the right boundaries for how you can support your children without going into debt yourself. so take a look and understand what you can afford to do, clearly communicate that to your children, whether it's a limit, whether it's a timeframe, to be able to really get on the same page and communicate about what you can do. >> there's some simple changes you can do to also help. if your child, adult child still lives with you, you may want to ask them to pitch in more around the house with chores or groceries. but finding a healthy balance is the key there. i always had to do a lot of chores. i was so happy when i left, i didn't have to cut the grass anymore. [ laughter ] >> yeah, doing those chores. all of that is much easier said than done. especially in the bay area, where buying a house is not even attainable. >> trying to send the kids to school. >> also, my dad, we would say, dad, we would like to take you out for dinner, he would say,

let me pay for this one. we would put up a fuss, and he would say, i'm just spending your inheritance. >> hold up. >> enjoy it with him. >> that's right. let's take a look at the forecast. we're talking about rain today. >> yes, and it's going to, for most of us, come in this afternoon. north bay may it earlier. i wanted to give you an update on how we're doing with our rainfall totals for the water year. so we've had a little bit of rain here recently, but still it is not what we usually see. we're still lacking about an inch of rainfall for santa rosa, even though so far we've measured over 14 inches of rainfall. oakland has had 5 inches of rain, but that is 3 1/2 inches below what's normal for this date. so you can see these rainfall deficits that we're running, and the good thing is that we do have some more rain on the way. so i think we're going to make up on those numbers pretty soon here, as we're now starting to

see the rain coming into coastal sonoma county. we're tracking it with mobile doppler radar. that will move into the north bay later this morning. you can see the rain as it approaches and a lot of it south of the golden gate bridge will be drying up. a lot of our coastal areas do typically see the light rain earlier than the rest of the inland areas. as we take it hour-by-hour, at 2:00 we're still seeing the rain in the north bay, maybe at times around san francisco and parts of the peninsula. then it continues to move into the east bay, down to the south bay for the evening commute. where we see yellow, that indicates heavier rain. it will be tapering off as we go toward tomorrow morning. rainfall totals look to be about a quarter to a half inch of rainfall. it could be a little higher for mill valley and some spots like the tri-valley and livermore and santa clara valley, about 0.3 of

an inch of rainfall. wave two comes in on friday, mostly during the afternoon as well. if you're making plans for the weekend, a little something happening on saturday evening. well, we are looking pretty wet at that time. there could be some breaks, and hopefully just in time for the game we'll see a bit of a break. but sunday, monday, possibly tuesday, wednesday, all of those days are looking wet at this point. we're going to see a very active storm pattern ramping up, with a few breaks in between. we're going to enjoy tomorrow, because it looks mostly sunny, highs in the low 60s. and a little bit warmer on thursday. but it will be mostly cloudy because it's going to be a wet weekend, with temperatures in the low 60s. mike, now you're seeing more of a backup out of oakland? >> we are seeing the backup forming as we showed for the last couple of breaks. and now we are about mid parking lot for the backup. one of the issues is i think they might have slowed the metering lights down a little near 9th, the exit into san francisco. there were reports of a disabled

vehicle. it sounds like everything is clear, but we do possibly have a little additional slowing because of those metering lights. so far, the backup not too severe and just a little slowing on the upper eastshore freeway through richmond for west 80. holding steady for the north bay and also the contra costa county drive. i do want to pull you over here. marcus told you about the overturned tanker truck in san rafael. i believe it's northgate drive is the one that's blocked, and you can get around the shopping center and come around. back to you. >> thank you so much. happening now, new data shows a drop in san francisco real estate values last year. the "chronicle" aggregated zillow's home value data and finds that the city saw a 5.5% decrease last year. that's the fourth largest decline among major u.s. cities. oakland real estate declined by about 4%. home values in part in the south

bay, meanwhile, climbed, as more people returned to the office. now, san jose, it rose more than 6% with the housing prices. across the bay area, still generally double the amount from a decade ago. abandoned oil wells have causing issues across the u.s. and in the bay area. still ahead, the impact it's having on our climate in crisis. then at 6:00, with more rain on the way, new concerns over toppled trees like this one at golden gate park yesterday. a scare for one woman who got trapped in her car, along with her children. keep it here

welcome back to "today in the bay." now turning to our climate in crisis, the environmental protection agency estimates that there are approximately 4 million abandoned oil and gas wells in the united states. more than 117,000 of those across 27 states are, quote, unquote, orphaned, which means that they are uncapped, unproductive, and there's no

responsible party identified to manage leakage or pollution risks. these orphaned wells can leak and contaminate groundwater, sometimes leaking methane into the air. methane is the worst greenhouse gas and causes our planet to warm. in california alone, there's currently more than 5,000 orphaned wells, and another 69,000 on the brink of being orphaned in the future. >> so because of these risks, one of the main strategies or what is required by regulation is to plug the wells. but, unfortunately, many abandoned and orphaned wells remain unplugged. because of that, there was the $4.7 billion that was mentioned earlier as part of the bipartisan infrastructure law dedicated to plugging orphaned wells. we just did an analysis and the total plugging costs for the

documented orphaned wells well exceeded the money allocated. so this federal funding is not going to be enough. >> and it's not yet clear if the funding has been cut from governor gavin newsom's recent budget to cap orphaned oil and gas wells. many of them are in southern california, but there are several in and around the bay area. you can see more on this story and how climate change is affecting us on our website, nbcbayarea.com. a quick reminder, nbc bay area is streaming 24/7. you can watch us whenever you would like on roku or other streaming platforms. right now at 6:00, bracing for back-to-back storms. we're tracking when the wet weather returns today and just how long it will stick around, with another system already on its way. somebody was telling me we have a guardian angel watching over all of us today. >> most definitely. terrifying moments atde
