tv   Today in the Bay  NBC  February 8, 2024 5:00am-6:01am PST

5:00 am
right now at 5:00, still in the dark. this morning thousands of pg&e customers still without power. it comes as parts of the bay area also in recovery mode after that powerful storm.
5:01 am
a live report, when the power may be turned back on. high stakes. a high court is set to determine whether the state of colorado can exclude presidential candidate, donald trump, from its ballot. plus -- >> only one team leaves happy. >> eyes on the prize. our countdown super bowl, and the way the niners are prepared to take on kansas city. this is "today in the bay." good morning to you on this thursday. i am marcus washington. i am laura garcia. we are going to check in with mike and the commute in a minute, but first let's check with the meteorologist, kari hall. it's cold out there. we have a few more showers that will be moving through, and we are still seeing very active
5:02 am
weather further to the south, and a couple spotty showers to our north. that's going to be coming in and as we go throughout the day we are watching out for that. our temperatures are now in the 30s. we are just one degree above freezing right now in santa rosa. it's 33. bundle up. we will have more cold mornings like this going into the weekend, but i was talking about a slight chance of rain, and we will see that in time for the evening commute, first starting along the coastline and then into the peninsula, and gradually winding down tonight and that's it. we will talk more about the weekend coming up. mike, you were checking out a crash on the nimitz. >> yeah, it's not completely clear but the commute should be all right. we have these crashes, and this one just happened on southbound 880. on the over crossing, there's slowing. a crash reported in the middle lane in the last ten minutes, so we are seeing slowing.
5:03 am
highway 4, a little slowing showing up as the crew is clearing, and we just got word from caltrans that cleared from 84. those crews overnight must be really cold. back to you. >> thank you. the waiting game to get the power back on keeps going. >> it has been so stretched out for people. ginger conejero saab joins us this morning. what are we hearing from pg&e. >> reporter: good morning to you. we just heard from pg&e moments ago, and we got the latest numbers of customers affected and we are still looking at over 12,000 customers that still don't have the lights on, and progress is still being made. the last number we got at 10:00
5:04 am
last night, there were 15,000 customers without power. there are more lights, definitely more lights on now. customer in sonoma county have been trying to get by without heat and lights and in some cases water. pg&e had the power back up in the rural area in sonoma county, and then a car slammed into a pole and a power went out, so there's no electricity or water. >> if the pump goes out for the wells, some places could be in trouble. >> reporter: to go back to some of the numbers. just moments ago pg&e releasing their latest numbers of outages, still more than 12,000 pg&e customers are without power. the numbers have significantly
5:05 am
improved on the peninsula yesterday morning, and the number was around 6,100, and this morning it's down to just over 1,000 here. north bay numbers still significant at 8,100 customers without power, and is that down from over 16,000 yesterday morning. let's switch gears a bit and we will take a look at this sinkhole in san francisco that caused some headaches on the roads yesterday. it opened up near the intersection of 14th and guerrero over in the mission in san francisco. public works crews say the hole is about eight feet deep, and they are not sure if it was triggered by the weekend's heavy rain. we may still see or feel the impacts of the storm in the days to come, maybe something like a sinkhole, so you want to be cautious of that, especially if expecting wet weather.
5:06 am
pg&e customers may feel the affect in your pocket, and there's good news because if you are without power for 48 hours consecutively, you could see the credit on your bill, and if your food goes bad during that time you can go on the website and file for reimbursement, and those are some problems where we can move forward to what we have been experiencing. >> a lot of people will be thankful for that. >> thank you, ginger. and then vivian gomez pleaded not guilty last summer to involuntary manslaughter, and practicing medicine without a license. she's accused of flying from florida to give silicone insections to a woman from antioch, and those injections
5:07 am
led to her death inside a hotel room. and then talking about a recent firing due to posts on social media. the posts were 12 years ago and described as bigoted and derogatory, and the unnamed officer was with the force less than a year. in a statement the department says, in part, quote, racism and bigotry are completely contrary to our core values and hate speech will not be tolerated in any circumstances. the department launching a review of its own hiring practices. and then a landmark case regarding former president trump. at issue is whether colorado can exclude trump from their 2024
5:08 am
presidential ballot. colorado's supreme court kicked the gop frontrunner off the state's republican ballot, citing trump's role leading up to the attack on the capitol. and the 14th amendment bars anybody that engages in insurrection in holding office. even if the high court rules against the former president, he will not be immediately disqualified from running. the issue will return to individual states. meanwhile, super bowl lviii is quickly come into focus for the 49ers. let's give you a live look at allegiant stadium. this is where the niners will take on the chiefs this sunday, but right now the niners are hanging out nowhere near the strip, and instead they are getting down to business. this is at unlv's practice
5:09 am
center, and the head coach realizes there's nothing they can do about the soggy conditions there. >> we are here and practicing on it, and everybody has their preferences and we will deal with how the it is. >> the chiefs are practicing in the raiders practice field as they are considered home team. a live look at i-80 in kingvale where snow has been falling in the sierra. you will need chains from i-80 in kingvale to the donner lake interchange. and chains are required on highway 50 right now. crews were out making sure drivers were safe and had the chains to make it through. one truck driver said the roads
5:10 am
were cleared until he reached i-80 and then the headaches started. >> we had no problems going down the 5 for seven hours, and then we got to the 80 and now we are at the 6,000-foot level on the 80 and now you need chains. we have them but we don't have the bungee cords for them. >> oh, no, got to come prepared. a lot of work to put them on, too. >> that snow is a good thing for that area, right? >> it is. it has been a huge boost to the sierra snowpack. if we look at what is going on now, if you are headed there and throughout the weekend, things are quieting down so we are hopefully going to seat roads getting cleared soon, but you want to bring the tire chains just in case. on january 1st our sierra snowpack on average was only 28% of its normal amount. well today we have seen a huge boost. we're at 75% of normal with the
5:11 am
best of it in the northern sierra that is now 83% of its usual amount, so the average snow depth now at about 21.3 inches, and the central sierra snow lab has reported that in the last seven days they have had over 55 inches of snowfall, so yes, it has been great to see that big boost there. we are going to see things drying out for a while so we will continue to monitor the snowpack, and we will talk about a slight chance of bay area rain coming up. mike, you are saying that now you have a second crash along 880? yeah, i don't see any problems, so it might be just over the hill where we can't see the traffic flow, but you see plenty of traffic slowing on the live camera and we don't see a sensor change. we will track that coming down to where there is still slowing. no longer in the middle of the freeway but now on the slow lane. southbound 880 around the
5:12 am
hacienda over crossing so watch for that. caltrans says the crew is clear from highway 4, and the distraction of clearing could be slowing the area. and then manzanita park and ride are doing maintenance, so it's not for flooding, just maintenance. lower on the peninsula, a smooth drive into the south bay. still have the slowing from the earlier crew on highway 87. we will watch that, but there's activity on the nimitz. coming up on "today in the bay," stock markets hitting new highs, but more companies moving out of the bay area. we introduce you to a young 49ers fan turned social media celebrity. his incredible story of resilience. keep it right here. keep it right here. you're wching "today in the at

5:17 am
the fundamental question, senators and for that matter americans have, why is the price of a drug higher in the united states than it is in, say, canada or mexico for the same drug? one federal study says on average 2 1/2 times higher. disney has bought its way into a share of epic games. the maker of fortnite. it's worth $1.5 billion, and marks disney's biggest investment in video games in the company's history. disney says taylor swift's eras tour movie will be on disney. and we don't know anything about a movie show wrote -- >> she's got a lot on her plate.

5:19 am
football? >> what's the point? >> patrick, patrick, you have five points. >> you can watch the super bowl straight from bikini bottom this sunday. it's going to be on nickelodeon. will be a fun way to watch it with the kids. and speaking of the 49ers, cooper coda, and she's about to turn three years old. he lives in new jersey, and he is three years old, and he recently got a liver transplant, and his parents started posting videos of cooper cheering on his favorite team, and his love of the 49ers comes from them. >> we were watching the eagles game in the hospital and, you know, that was the first time he ever said let's go niners was in the hospital before the eagles game, and i couldn't be prouder as a dad. >> the question is did he do the clap after that?
5:20 am
with a big audience, cooper inspired a lot of other fans just in time for the super bowl. let's go niners! >> let's go cooper, too. what a cutie. >> yeah, niners fans of all ages, and we are going enjoy the storm this weekend. yeah, it will be chilly but we are going to enjoy some sunshine. we do have one last wave of rain that will be coming in today and it still looks pretty sloppy for southern california with that rain moving in, and we can see once again some of the showers just to our north. as we take a look at our temperatures, this is going to be cooler than what we typically see with morgan hill today only making it up to 55 degrees. 57 in east san josé. we are also going to see mid to low 50s for the inland east bay with concord hitting a high of 55 this afternoon. hayward looking at 57 degrees.
5:21 am
mid-50s for redwood city, and mateo, 57. 56 in the mission district. the outer sunset today, 55 degrees. also 55 in napa and in sonoma. we talked about the slight chance of rain and it comes in around 3:00 to 4:00 this afternoon, just kind of springs up after a mostly sunny day. we will see this coming through the peninsula as well as the north bay, and then over towards the east bay into the tri-valley. we are going to see that one last chance before things clear out tonight and then the cold air will be settling in. our next several mornings will start out in the mid to upper 30s. we are looking at much more sunshine for the weekend. sunday is looking great. 62 degrees -- i wish it was 72. it will be in the 60s in the next few days, gradually warming up but at least we are not talking about 50s for all of the bay area. mike, you are seeing that it's still slow for drivers in concord? >> yeah, we are looking at the
5:22 am
overall commute and things are looking smoothly, and highway 37 is reporting at speed. there's a late construction pickup, and westbound highway 4 as you are coming over towards concord, we just now see the sensors turning toward the yellow zone and getting better so i think they finely cleared those crews. antioch and pittsburg, we have the building on the east side as it cleared from the west side. we will track that. heading to 242, vasco still moving good, and only 18 minutes there, and we are seeing a little more slowing southbound on 880. chp is there, and i don't know about the tow truck, but the volume builds off the castro valley, so there is slowing heading towards the san mateo

those that insight or lead an ininsurrection cannot hold office. >> well, did the writers mean to include the president or exclude him? who decides what an insurgeon see is? you will a court in the state of colorado found that trump did lead an insurrection and he cannot be on that ballot. both decisions are on hold pending the supreme court's ruling. okay, key point, the supreme court today is not ruling on whether trump incited an
5:34 am
insurrection. the supreme court doesn't decide guilt or innocence, and a court in colorado already ruled trump incited an insurrection, and the court will consider who is the amendment about and how do we decide what a insurrection is. it just says don't insight an insurrection, the same way it says you have to be 35 to be a president. it doesn't expand on the idea, and it just says you have to be 35. the justices, if they say he can be excluded, some will say that's hurting democracy. to do that, they will have to find a way to get around the 14th amendment's language that says no person that took an oath
5:35 am
of the constitution should hold any other office. and good to remember, this looks like a liberal versus conservative fight, but some of the more conservative judges may decide against trump. it's going to be soon when they announce that decision. >> thank you, scott. now to a breaking news update for you out of southern california. the bodies of five missing marines have been found after their helicopter crashed near san diego. it was reported missing after leaving an air force base in nevada. the marines were conducting a training flight and the helicopter last pinged in the rugged area of east san diego county. crews searched into the night on tuesday and found the helicopter yesterday morning.

is to create. >> and that she did. it's the wife of chief's quarterback, brittney mahoney. as for whether brittney or even taylor will be wearing the custom outfits for super bowl sunday, you will have to wait and see. >> i love it, because it's modernizing, and not just the typical jersey, the guy clothes we have to wear, right? >> yeah, you always steal the guy clothes. i'm going to wear this. >> oh, yeah, that, too. >> i was wearing my husband's 49ers jersey last time and put it on with tights, and i wanted to tie it up and do something with it, and -- >> no! >> no! >> just wanted to make it cute.

perfect. >> now kristen is helping you out. >> looking forward to that being affordable at ross. >> that may take a while. it's cold, and not only are we watching out for the cold weather but also the coastal flood advisory that will be in effect. it's not due to storms or rain. this is because of the gravitational pull of the moon, the astronomical high tides. we will see that for the next few days, and some of the low-lying areas with the king tides will see flooding over the next few days. let's check in on the rain. after 24 inches of rainfall for the water year in santa rosa, we are now at a surplus, and we have four inches above what is normal for this date. oakland was at a big deficit for rainfall before this, but now we are catching up. concord, just lacking an inch
5:54 am
and three quarters. we're catching up. currently we are starting out with the temperatures in the 30s, and it's a cold start. 55 in los gatos. for the east bay, we will see a high of 53 in livermore and 56 in walnut creek. along the coast, half moon bay once again watching out for a very small beach today because of the higher than normal tides. we will see temperatures in the upper 50s for san francisco. north bay temperatures in the mid to upper 50s as well. so we talked about this. the rain coming in for today. most of the day is going to be clear, but all of a sudden we will start to see the clouds bubbling up and then scattered showers developing around 4:00 to 5:00. most of it tapering off shortly after sunset, and then we are back to the dry conditions with sunshine in the forecast for the weekend. it will be chilly each morning for the next few days. we will start out in the upper 30s and our highs will reach

5:56 am
highway 4 where we had the earlier overnight crews and additional slowing. drive times are building for highway 4 and 880, and vasco is 30% longer than a short time ago because of the volume coming out of contra costa county down towards 580. no surprises. that's a typical pattern. over here near hayward, not a lot of slowing. watch southbound 880 passing hacienda. and the southbound, we do have north 101 showing the typical pattern, and the first rush easing up a bit. back to you. >> thank you, mike. the people living in the area of martinez refinery may notice flaring today and over the next few days. now, it's been happening at times already this week as a result of workers temporarily shutting down one of the
