in a matter of hours. also, more snow and not in the sierra. snow falling in parts of the bay area over the weekend. our cinthia pimentel is tracking how the forecast is shaping up for the rest of the week. this is "today in the bay." >> thanks so much for joining us on this monday morning. i'm kris sanchez. laura garcia is off. >> and i'm marcus washington. we first begin with breaking news this morning, and this is what's happening here in the north bay. a large sheriffs presence at two separate scenes, the first on stony point road in sonoma county and the second on todd road west of the freeway. both of those areas are expected to remain shut down for the next several hours, and the sheriff's office is asking commuters to avoid that area. so far, no other information is being released. our own ginger conejero saab is heading to the scene and will have a live report for us in our next half hour. we're going to turn to

cinthia pimentel because you are looking at what we can expect weather-wise. >> we've had four days of some really active weather, but right now things are starting to calm down for our monday. yes, there are some areas of light rain at this hour. with stormranger we can zoom through parts of san francisco, along 880, some slick roads that you do have to be careful of. as we take a look at the peninsula mountains, also some light rain. approaching morgan hill and gilroy, you're going to be met with slick roadways. some very light rain chances as we get our workweek started. it is chilly. in the north bay we have a frost advisory as temperatures start in the 30s this morning, and another place that's cold but getting a little bit better is the sierra. some isolated snow showers for today. i'll walk you through the rest of the microclimate coming up. we're looking toward -- cinthia mentioned the sierra and i know that's farther out, but we still have the closure for

80. you still can't travel over the sierra on interstate 80 and i'm sure we'll talk more about that. we had a traffic break, i believe it's just completed because we're back to green sensors for southbound 880. there was some slowing closer to the 237 flyover as well, so we'll track the entire area for more updates. so far, it does sound like everything is off to the shoulder. the bay bridge toll plaza shows slicker conditions. there was a disabled vehicle coming off of that flyover off of the 880 transition, but we're looking at a smooth drive now. slick conditions continue, of course. >> thank you, mike. heavy snow coming down in the sierra. you probably could have guessed that. but there's also some snow falling near the south bay. one peak getting several inches of snow, mount hamilton. typically the roadway is closed when there is snowfall there. not yesterday, so as you might imagine, dozens of people drove up the winding road to lick observatory to play in the snow.

for some, it was quite a milestone. >> very cold, but first time seeing it, so happy, happy for that. >> it was fantastic. i kind of want to eat it, make an ice cream or something. something special. >> you forget sometimes people have not seen it. for some people, they drove more than an hour to play in the snow, other people ditched the beach to go up the mountain. the final sprint is on heading into super tuesday. for republicans, voters in more than a dozen states head to the polls in about 24 hours. and while former president donald trump is edging closer to a rematch with president joe biden, former u.n. ambassador nikki haley is not giving in. >> she is celebrating her first primary win in the nation's capitol, washington, d.c., making her the first ever woman to win a republican primary. here is "today in the bay"'s brie jackson. >> reporter: the countdown to super tuesday is on. >> if you want to save america,

then go vote. remember, the primary is tuesday. >> as long as we are competitive, as long as we are showing that there is a place for us, i'm going to continue to fight. >> reporter: former president trump has dominated the republican contest so far. despite that, nikki haley vows to push ahead, saying she no longer feels bound by the rnc pledge to endorse trump if he does become the nominee. >> i think i'll make what decision i want to make, but that's not something i'm thinking about. >> reporter: on tuesday, voters across more than a dozen states will weigh in, with more than 800 delegates up for grabs. the former u.n. ambassador is looking to build momentum, after picking up her first primary win sunday in the nation's capital. i spoke with republicans about what's at stake for the party. >> i think under trump we had a stellar economy and our military was strong and useful and our

border was secure, or at least in the process of becoming more secure. >> i think nikki haley might have a better chance of getting a coalition together to beat trump and get the nomination, which would be very important. >> i think we all definitely are going to be a stronger party if they both stay in and we have this process play out. >> reporter: tuesday could be make or break for haley's campaign, as she looks to stop former president trump's march to the gop nomination. in washington, brie jackson, nbc news. and candidates hoping to represent california in the u.s. senate are urging voters to cast their ballots. two of the major candidates in the race were campaigning in san francisco over the weekend. representative katie porter spoke at manny's in san francisco, saying that she believes this will be a close race. representative adam schiff is making stops in san francisco and san jose today. yesterday he also spoke with a group in the city.

"today in the bay"'s bob redell joins us live from outside the d.a.'s office in dublin, and, bob, recall organizers say they have now enough signatures to get that on the ballot. >> reporter: correct. good morning, to you, kris. that group called save alameda county for everyone says it has collected over 123,000 signatures for the petition to recall alameda county district attorney pamela price, who critics say is antilaw enforcement and too soft on crime. plans to submit the signatures they've been collecting from the public over the past several weeks, submitting them to the county's registrar of voters after a news conference later this morning in oakland. the county will take ten days to

validate those signatures, and if certified, the board of supervisors will then schedule a special election. only 73,000 signatures are required, but the group collected more in case some of those signatures are invalidated. d.a. price has defended her approach to criminal justice reform, saying, quote, back in december, to hold people accountable without destroying the community, without decimating black and brown families because of the racism that has infected the criminal justice system. that was back in december and she was outlining her goals as alameda county district attorney. now, the "chronicle" reports that last week supporters of price, they went to the state attorney general, rob bonta, and they asked him to investigate reports of, quote, widespread fraud by signature gatherers, which the recall campaign denies. reporting live outside alameda county district attorney's office here in dublin, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> so many people watching that.

talking about chilly temperatures on this monday morning. i need you to bring a jacket and also carry around a small umbrella. you could be seeing some rain later today. 38 in santa rosa, napa and sonoma, 39 degrees right now in los gatos. there is a frost advisory, but for the north bay. give yourself extra time to warm up the car, get your coffee flowing. there are some light showers over san francisco, parts of oakland and along vallejo. we're going to continue with the spotty fashion as we go throughout the day. we'll have the rest of your outlook in a little bit. back to you. >> thanks, cinthia. history on the hardwood. there is a new leader for the ncaa basketball all-time scorer. the incredible moment and the fan reaction ahead on "today in the bay." a massive fine for apple this morning, and some good news from space. >> may thy knife chip and shatter. >> "dune: part two" opens at the

box office. the promising sign the latest premiere is bringing some what do i see in peter dixon? i see my husband... the father of our girls. i see a public servant. a man who served under secretary clinton in the state department... where he took on the epidemic of violence against women in the congo. i see a fighter, a tenacious problem-solver... who will go to congress and protect abortion rights and our democracy. because he sees a better future for all of us.

i'm peter dixon and i approved this message.

good monday morning. 5:14 on the first monday of the new month. we're starting in the north bay. there is a frost advisory for you in santa rosa, and we're going to continue to feel cold and see those overcast skies throughout the day. maybe some light drizzle will also pop up.

temperatures will only reach 53 degrees. we'll talk about rain chances through the midweek. you see a little glow, it might not be rain, but it is going to make damp pavement. the bay bridge moving smoothly right now. we're going to focus on what is going on, there's a couple of crashes i'm monitoring coming up. good morning. very happy monday to you. the nasdaq will start the week near an all-time high. congress has revealed -- the european union has slapped apple music with a fine for, quote, abusing its position. they say apple prevented users from learning about alternative music players like spotify that might offer lower cost music. it's one of the largest fines for a technology company ever.

a new wall street journal poll says more americans are feeling better about the economy but more than two-thirds think inflation is headed in the wrong direction, despite the fact it's not. inflation is down and continues to shrink. fed chairman jay powell will testify before the senate on thursday, a regularly-scheduled appointment where he'll talk about inflation and the plan on interest rates. then we'll get the monthly jobs report on friday. these reports have been much better than expected. in fact, most of the economic news we have gotten in the last six months or so has generally been better than expected. four nasa astronauts are headed to the international space station. they launched over the weekend, hitching a ride on a spacex rocket. two americans, two russians. we're still cooperating with russia when it comes to space. they should arrive to the station around midnight tonight. it was awesome to listen to

the crew and the excitement. you heard matt dominic make several calls to the ground relative to the abort boundaries going up the hill. it was great to hear matt's voice. you could tell they were really excited on their way to the international space station. >> meantime, the crew of the next artemis mission are training. this first one, they're going to go around the moon, but they're not going to land. it will be like apolo 8 in, what, 1968? we're doing it all over again, learning it, because apparently our grandfathers didn't write it down, and grandmothers. >> it's like circling trying to find a parking spot for lunchtime. iowa's caitlin clark is now in the history books, making her bark in division 1 college basketball as the ncaa's

all-time leading scorer. >> this for college basketball history. [ cheers and applause ] >> with that free throw, iowa's caitlin clark passes pistol pete maravich to welcome the all-time leading scorer in division 1 basketball. no man or woman has scored more points than collar, with 3,685 points and counting. iowa last night won with clark finishing with 35 point. the pressure of doing it in a free throw versus just a lay-up or something, everybody is watching. trending this morning, the biggest box office opening weekend of the year. >> "dune: part two," raked in more than $81.5 million for its domestic debut. >> i want you to know i will

love you as long as i breathe. >> you will never lose me as long as you stay who you are. >> positive reviews. >> the dune voice. >> positive reviews and word-of-mouth really pushing this movie to the top spot. the stars, timothee chalamet and zendaya. this film has sold $97 million in ticket sales, bringing the tally to $178 million just for the opening weekend. i'm sure those investors are really happy about that because that is nearly the cost of what it took to make that movie. >> wow. >> so the follow-up was set to be released last year but it was pushed back due to the actors' strike. it's bringing a boost to slumping movie theatres. the ceo of imax says the numbers could have been bigger but they ran out of seats. >> that's a good problem. >> and imax, our producer said, is the way to see that movie. >> it's so expansive.

>> i'm going to watch it on my couch. >> that big screen tv. >> we did watch a lot of movies this weekend. >> people were trying to find a warm, dry place. we're also looking for a warm dry place to start our monday. there is rain being picked up on stormranger, our mobile doppler radar, through san francisco, parts of richmond. albany down to the bay bridge, it is a slick commute. but it's very light, nothing we can't handle. as we go to the peninsula, slick roadways through 101 and 280, and down sunol there is light spotty showers, but nothing too bad. we've four days of rain and it really started on thursday. some of the measurements have been higher through parts of the north bay. mill valley almost 2 1/2 inches of rain, but higher totals through calistoga. everybody saw about three-quarters of an inch to maybe an inch of rain in concord. really, the santa cruz mountains, 3 to 5 inches of rain.

so it's been a really wet couple of days. we're going to be in for a few more spotty rain showers throughout the day. we're starting in the low 30s in the north bay. as we go throughout the day, it's still going to stay cold, but mainly towards parts of lake county. the rest of us will warm up just a touch, as we've been seeing some really cold days. temperatures today, 57 in oakland, 59 in san jose and 56 over in fairfield. we'll keep those overcast skies as we go throughout the day. most of the activity should hang near the north bay as the system tries to make its way into the middle part of the week. we'll start with slick roadways for tuesday and spotty showers, but it won't be until we get to wednesday when we start to see the system that will hug the coastline for many of us and then kind of dip to the south as we go throughout the day. and we really want to keep on talking about what's going on in the sierra, as we do have areas highlighted in pink, the winter storm warning will go from this morning until wednesday. still spotty snow showers as people try to make their return

into the sierra along 80 and 50. going through the rest of the week, we finally get a chance to dry out and see more sunshine as we go into thursday and friday. then another system drops in as we go through saturday. your sunday plans look dry for now. the seven-day forecast, we're going to see unsettled weather as we go through today, tuesday and wednesday. better clearing for thursday. san francisco, you'll still need the jacket and umbrella as we deal with cooler temperatures. inland valleys, slightly warming up as we get to the end of the week. mike, what are you looking at, a little water? >> a little water is not going to hurt you but it is something to be aware of. we have a nice smooth drive heading north. southbound, you see more lanes, the commute direction, and you see the water spraying up because these tires have good tread and that's what those tires are designed to do. that will be the case in many patches of the bay as cinthia has shown you. the rain is still going down the peninsula as well and that will

be an issue for some folks with wet roadways and slicker conditions. you see the green highlighting on both sides of the bay and there's active weather, as well as the commute building. there is a disabled vehicle west 80 around willow, the off-ramp. and the transition from vasco onto westbound 580, but no major problems. back to you. >> thanks, mike. during the month of march, we celebrate women's history. next on "today in the bay," we introduce you to one author whose new book is inspiring whose new book is inspiring women and helping them

it is 5:25. this morning we are celebrating women's history month, and we begin with a spotlight on a book which is helping empower young black women. "i am, i can, i will" is a guided journal helping to spark self-discovery. it's filled with quotes, mantras and stories from historical black women. the book is split into three sections and it's meant to guide the reader and show them what they're capable of. we talked with dr. cynthia jacobs carter, one of the co--writers of that book. >> it's good to see some positive stories, especially about women and girls, who aspired to do something different in their lives, to go from point a to point z.

so that's why i thought it was important in this day and time to give some positive aspects that young people could read about, and hopefully this will spark some inspiration in them. >> dr. carter says that young men can also read that book and probably should as well. she says the message of women empowerment is for all of us. >> very true. 5:26 this morning. top stories we're following today, including breaking news in the north bay. a live report from the scene of a major investigation under way at this hour, and the areas you're asked to avoid. plus, tracking snow conditions in the sierra. here is a live look at highway 50 where the roads are open, but that's not the case for all records in tahoe. ahead, road osures still in cl

breaking right now, heavy law enforcement activity in the north bay. a live report from the scene as the investigation is under way this hour. plus, the road closures under way in the sierra, after a fresh snowfall over the weekend. our own cinthia pimentel is breaking down totals for us. this is "today in the bay." good morning on this monday.

i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm kris sanchez. laura garcia is off this monday morning. we want to start with a look at the forecast because it is ever changing. we see more rain on your radar. >> yeah, we are into a new month, new workweek. we've got to get everybody prepared this morning. in the overnight hours we have seen mostly cloudy skies, a few spotty showers that we can show you on stormranger, our mobile doppler radar, to help you go about your morning commute. mostly through san francisco into south city and along the bay bridge, you're going to be met with cars picking up water in front of you, moving down 101 and 280, just some light rain to handle. as you make your approach through sunol into the south bay, things are starting to clear up. in dublin, planning our day, we are starting pretty chilly in low 40s and we'll continue with overcast skies. grab a jacket, maybe one with a hood in case you see drizzle. we're going to see times of rain, mostly overcast skies as we go through the middle portion

of the week. ahead i do have better news for those of you that love the sunshine. there will be a late week break with slightly warmer temperatures. then we do have rain turning in the seven-day forecast. we have it all. mike is here with the bay bridge. >> we have typical slowing right now, damp conditions. we're looking at this portion of i-80 locally. through the sierra we still have that closure, but that might mean local traffic is a little lighter because some folks may not have been able to come back to work. a smooth flow of traffic shows you the green highlighting in san francisco and in the east bay, as cinthia talked about. we're still dealing with damp roadways. north 101 at fair oaks, this crash is off of the roadway. in fact, this car is stuck in the mud on the side of the roadway. watch for conditions and watch the shoulders of the roadways should you need to pull over. >> thanks, mike. first, we are following

breaking news in santa rosa where there's a large sheriff's office presence at two separate scenes. >> "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab is there this morning, joining us live. ginger, we know this is kind of a developing scene. have you been able to find anything out? >> reporter: we are working to confirm some of these details. what we know at this point is that a number of roads here in santa rosa are closed, and before i go through the details of which roads those are, i want to take your attention to a small line of cars right behind us that are pulled over to the side of the road. i was just speaking to a truck driver not so long ago, he says he's waiting here because he needs to get to his truck to start his workday. unfortunately, that can not happen because roads are closed. now, let's talk about which roads they are. we are at todd road and moreland, todd road between stony point road and moreland avenue is indefinitely closed,

as is stony point road south, and police are asking commuters to avoid the area. we do not know much at this point, we are working to confirm some more details. but there are two different crime scenes. video shows a number of law enforcement vehicles, including san jose police, chp and sheriff's office vehicles at both scenes. there was also sonoma county -- or there were two sonoma county sheriffs vehicles seen at santa rosa memorial hospital. again, we are working to learn more details and have reached out to the sheriff's office. moments ago, i also spoke with santa rosa police. they are not giving us a time at this point of when they'll be giving an update. as soon as we have the update, we'll bring that to you. you can download our nbc bay area app for the latest. we're live in santa rosa, ginger conejero saab, "today in the bay."

>> a very tough way to start a monday. thank you. we know you'll ask more questions. happening today, the four men accused in the deadly shooting of an oakland police officer, this was back in late december, they're due back in court. officer tuan le died while responding to a burglary at a cannabis dispensary. last week authorities added murder charges, his bail was revoked, and all four are due in court today for a preliminary hearing. one group of south bay firefighters briefly played the role of law enforcement after someone broke into their firehouse over the weekend. it happened saturday night at fire station 8 in san jose near roosevelt park. police say a thief stole gear and personal items after kicking in a door. officers managed to make an arrest a short time later, but that's because firefighters just happened to be returning from an emergency call. after noticing the damaged door, they caught that man on his way out. >> they noticed that he was

carrying some items with him, a laptop and some other items. the subject went into the creek, through some of the items in the water. the crew from station 8, they called san jose police because of the break-in, eventually san jose police apprehended the subject. >> firefighters believe that that man is unhoused and they say this is not the first time that someone has broken into their fire station. crews also experienced a string of recent vehicle break-ins. blizzard conditions in sierra nevada are impacting major roadways. yesterday caltrans briefly closed highway 50, leaving drivers in the snow. it's now back open after crews cleared the road. caltrans says the i-80 between colfax and the border are still closed but it could reopen later today. we spoke with some drivers who were caught in the snow. >> we might as well just park it right here and relax for tonight

and try and get out tomorrow morning. >> i really thought it looked like we might be able to get through, or maybe they might let local people through. but it doesn't appear that they're allowing anybody to go. so it must be kind of rough up there. >> we did talk about that on friday, i'm just saying. here is a live look this morning. it looks like a winter wonderland. beautiful sights. this is a look at highway 50, running through heavenly village. it remains open at the time being, but stick with us because we'll let you know if there are going to be any changes throughout the day. we're talking about a lot of snow up there. >> a lot of snow. this is a live camera over our palisades resort cam, and through the weekend it was just completely whiteout conditions. today a slight improvement. we can finally see a little bit more into the distance, and hopefully as the sun comes up this morning we'll see that mountain right behind there.

conditions are slightly improving. we do still have this winter storm warning in the area shaded in pink, so once you're coming down 80 or 50, you could be met with some rough conditions. so just take it slow. this will be with us this morning into wednesday. if you notice some areas shaded in blue, as you make your way into the southeastern part of the sierra, that is the avalanche warning for around mammoth lakes. some heavy snow and gusty winds have come through the mountains over the last couple of days. we could see another chance of light snow showers as we go through the next couple of hours, taking totals about 1 to 3 inches. compared to the feet that stacked up, this is doable. something that's impressive is we're approaching that 100% of average snowpack through all of these regions, the northern one almost there, and as we go into central and south, we are starting to creep up there. compared to last year, we're still a little ways behind, but we definitely have more on the

way. mike, the backup is building at the bay bridge. >> yeah, we had a backup and more on the way here to the bay bridge toll plaza, right as we would expect the timing. this happened over the last ten minutes. that's a slower drive across the span, incline and decline toward the city. that's why they slowed the metering lights, to keep the span moving smoothly. wet roadway continues. highway 37, a new crash around mur island. we have slowing around the willow off-ramp and it is a distraction and it could cause slowing through hercules. it keeps traffic moving slower for richmond. the rest of the bay, a smooth drive. we are looking toward the tri-valley. no major issues. the crash still reported at the vasco transition onto 580. 580 moves as you would expect. the good news is we have one-way traffic control continuing for 84. it's still open, but it's still going to have some slowdowns and

there's more rain coming in. we're dealing with the aftermath of the whole weekend having rain as well. 680 and mission, i would just stay clear of the windy part of 84. the rest of the bay shows a tradition south bay starting to slow down. back to you. >> thank you. 5:39 this morning. still ahead on "today in the bay," the way one nonprofit is using social media to share stories from inside san quentin's walls. >> we are just a little more than an hour from what we think will be a major supreme court case that will affect the election. hi, everyone. >> i'm justin. >> and i'm jeremy. we're on team dan & shay on this season of "the voice." >> thank you so much for the >> thank you so much for the ( ♪♪ )

there. the wind has died down a bit, so no longer than issue for the san mateo bridge. we'll check out the rest of your commute coming up. big changes are coming to san quentin starting this spring, when, according to the department of corrections and rehabilitation, demolition work would begin on the governor's plans to transform the oldest and most notorious prison in california into a rehabilitation and education center. as you might recall, governor gavin newsom made the initial announcement last year. $240 million have been budgeted for the transformation of the prison, which is expected to be complete in 2026. rehabilitation work continues for the people who are incarcerated inside san quentin's walls. one local nonprofit is turning to social media to collect stories from previous or current inmates. their team hopes connections on social media can offer some healing. >> they don't have the opportunity to ever be heard by

someone and they've already been labeled with every negative thing you can imagine and they're the biggest critic of themselves already. so for me it's very joyous to be able to know that there is hope, we can give hope. >> the executive director of the project says that she supports the governor's decision to transform san quentin about a rehabilitation and education center, seeing it as a way to initiate change nationwide. president biden and former president trump, as well as the american people, all waiting on the supreme court this morning. >> scott mcgrew is here. a big decision coming at 7:00 our time. >> 7:00 a.m. now, the court is not saying what that decision is about, kris, but we are almost certain it's about donald trump and whether or not states can kick him off the ballot. the high court made an announcement that it would release a decision last night. at issue, whether the states of

colorado and maine can keep trump off the ballot, prohibiting those who engage in insurrection from holding office. that part of the constitution is not very clearly written. it definitely says, no insurrectionists can hold office, and it lists a whole lot of offices, but, weirdly, skips the mention of the president. and then, while, again, it says no insurrectionists can hold office, it doesn't say who makes the decision about who is or who is not an insurrectionist. most court watchers think the decision today will reject the state's arguments and keep trump on the ballots. the colorado primary election is tomorrow, part of super tuesday. trump won michigan, idaho and missouri's republican primaries over the weekend. if the experts are right and this goes trump's way, the thing to watch will be how the court arrives at that decision. it's going to have to do some legal gymnastics to somehow

uphold the constitution, while at the same time saying what the constitution says doesn't count. again, the court decision comes at 7:00 a.m. our time, and nbc will provide a special report. also today, the chief financial officer for the trump company will be in court. our reporters speculate he will plead guilty to lying on the stand. he's already served 100 days in jail for 15 counts of tax fraud related to the trump organization. the white house says vice president harris will meet with israeli war cabinet member benny gantz in washington today. harris joining the president in calling for a cease-fire in gaza as she spoke over the weekend in alabama. and progress in congress, which has introduced six bills to keep the government open, passed friday. the house and senate still have to pass those bills, but leaders say they're going to get it done. >> so, again, good news. of course the clock is now ticking, we have to pass this bill by friday. but the fact that the four

leaders, house, senate, democrat and republican, have reached an agreement, bodes well that the government will not run out of funds and shut down. >> there's another set of bills that have to be passed mid month to ensure the rest of governor stays open but, all in all, very positive moves forward. up until now they've been repeatedly kicking the can down the road. now they're actually accomplishing something. these bills have to be passed, but they exist. >> maybe it's that extra leap day they got. >> maybe so. >> thanks, scott. a bay area native is punching her ticket to paris, the first athlete to qualify for the tennis table team. she grew up on the peninsula and she's headed to the paris olympics this summer, her fourth olympic games. jiang directly qualified because she is the highest ranked female table tennis player in all of the united states. she is also in the top 50 of the

was just sing. it was a really surreal moment because it felt like i was just looking at myself singing. it was like a dream. >> a dream no more, as reality sinks in. three of the judges' chairs turned for jeremy and justin garcia, who say it's not always easy agreeing on what to sing or how to arrange the vocals. >> we definitely have times where we have one idea and another idea for a specific part, and it does clash at some point. but we do manage to find a compromise. >> as you can imagine, it is not easy singing for some of the top artists in the music industry and millions of people watching from home. but these twins know a little something about having millions of people watch them perform. ♪♪ >> these videos from 12 plus years ago have millions of views on youtube, and it shows these two were destined for stardom.

and it's no surprise they chose the judges from the voice dan & shay. >> working together, dan & shay has been doing that for years so we really think that they were a really good choice for us moving forward. >> a journey they say they hope makes their family, friends and community proud. >> we're still improving, but we really just wanted to give it a shot for "the voice," and thank god it worked out. >> that, it did. make sure you watch tonight. i don't think they're going to be on tonight. they've already progressed to the next. but "the voice" continues tonight right here on nbc bay area. you can watch it tonight starting at 8:00. it's two hours of excitement. >> yeah, as you said, we won't see them until the battle rounds, if you're familiar with the show. >> i have to catch that. they said dan & shay have been doing for thing for years, but they have been doing their thing their whole life. >> you google them, jeremy and justin garcia on youtube, and

you'll find so many videos of them performing many different songs. >> how cute. you probably need a twin right about now. you've been busy in the weather department. >> it has been a very busy weekend, but it's monday, we've got to get people informed of what's ahead. so no problem. the headline has definitely been the rain and the snow, but this morning things are starting to calm down. it is cold out there, especially in the north bay. look at those temperatures, santa rosa 38 degrees, napa 39. chilly 40s as we go into martinez, 44 in dublin. you need a really thick jacket, maybe one with a hood. we're looking at some light, spotty showers as we look at satellite and radar. that will be the story today, and behind that we have more rain chances. stormranger is picking up on some activity right now mainly

through the central bay, so approaching san francisco, parts of 880 as you make your approach into hayward. the east bay, it is a little more spotty and very light, parts of concord, pleasant hill and walnut creek. and taking it further south, the rain showers have started to move on, approaching los altos at this time. the santa cruz mountains picking up on rain that could be heavy at times as we look at the spots in yellow. aside from the rain, it will continue to be chilly as we get the front officially moving through. as we go into our temperatures, it's still going to be feeling winter-like as we take a look at 57 in martinez, 55 in livermore, as well as in santa rosa, and 59 degrees down here in san jose. walking you forward through the rest of the forecast hour-by-hour, the activity today is mainly going to be to the north bay. we're going to get overcast skies. as we go into early tuesday, similar to what we're starting with this morning, spotty rain showers for the early morning commute. the system is tending to stick to parts of northern california,

and it will try to drop down as we go into wednesday. we could be looking at that system pushing on through through parts of the south bay as we go into the afternoon. now, as far as the rest of the week, we are looking at that forecast through the rest of the week, showers move down through the southern part of the state, giving us better clearing for thursday and friday. the sierra continues to be stormy. we have a winter storm warning through at least wednesday and we'll be measuring snow totals very much lighter than we've seen the last couple of days. with that system the middle of the week, it could drive totals up to 14 inches in kingvale. our forecast continues to be active in san francisco, 50s and 60s, with better clearing, better news for sunshine as we go into late week. mike, we're seeing traffic through richmond? >> we're seeing more and it typically ramps up. cinthia, you mentioned that winter storm warning. you and kari warned folks about

the sierra. hopefully our viewers did not get stuck in that over the weekend. still closed for i-80. 580 showing more volume as you would expect heading across the span. there's the slowing we see coming toward richmond and berkeley. nothing major. slowing across the bay bridge and at the toll plaza. this crash is at westbound 37, so the commute direction around mare island. one vehicle was seen driving fast through the area and may have left the scene. watch highway 4, a little more slowing there. vasco road, a build southbound. but the crash has cleared from the transition onto 580. the drive over 20 minutes. 22 minutes now out of contra costa county, so a great drive over here. a smooth flow of traffic around the bay. highway 17 from 8:00 p.m. tonight until 5:00 a.m. tomorrow, there will be a lane shift because of some overnight road work. if you're coming earlier

tomorrow, do keep that in mind, northbound 17. back to you. >> thanks, mike. happening now, a spike in fentanyl overdoses is causing concern in marin county. health officials are learning local hospitals in the past two weeks, five people have died from fentanyl overdoses. that's four times the usual rate. health officials say there have been an increase in fentanyl found in wastewater. they sent out a public health advisory and it is telling people to keep narcan on hand to help anyone dealing with an overdose. you can get it free on the marin county website. we have a lot ahead at the top of the hour, including the latest from washington in the run-up to tomorrow's super tuesday primaries. here in the bay area, we have some new election intrigue as well surrounding a possible recall election in our future. the new step promised today by opponents of an embattled district attorney. and a reminder, nbc bay area
