i'll be back with a full look at the forecast coming right up. larry? >> thank you. you can always keep track of the weather conditions where you live with the abc 7 news app. you can get updates from the weather team and monitor live doppler 7 on the go. despite the little bit of rain, the national weather service says this winter season could be drier than normal. they released their drought outlook today. when asked if trends show that california is experiencing a pre-can you rememb pre-can you remember sore to drought, meteorologists say maybe. we'll get through the season no matter what. >> the man charged in this week's deadly stabbing on a b.a.r.t. train was ou on bail in connection with a case in san francisco. jermaine brim was charged or arraigned on five counts today including murder. police say brim stabbed oliver tyrone williams after he tried to stop brim from stealing another passenger satisfies shoes. the altercation started at i the bay point stations and he ran

off the train two stops later. his family is wondering why no one helped. >> he gave his life for somebody else. that's the way he was. it's frustrating that, you know, he goes three different b.a.r.t. stops before you know, somebody gets there to help him. and by then it was too late. >> family members are hoping to raise money for williams' funeral. we have a link to the go fund me page on abc7news.com. abc 7 news is committed to building a better bay area. one of the big issues is b.a.r.t. that includes safety on the trains. b.a.r.t. is adding more police and community service officers and fare inspectors on platforms and riding trains. kris reyes rode b.a.r.t. all day long today looking for the extra police presence. >> i'm going to be riding the daily city train. i'm going to be riding the pittsburg bay point train and the fremont train and i'm going

to tell you what i see. we're also going to be talking to riders to see if they're more security and if they feel safe on the train. >> are you seeing more security on the train this week? >> no. i can't say that i have. >> no, i haven't. >> not really? >> no. >> not this week. >> there is no security. there is no b.a.r.t. police. >> security upstairs and she has a message for them? >> come downstairs. if you're huddled up there. we don't get the help we need. why don't you come where all the action. >> it's important police -- doesn't necessarily mean you'll be safe. maybe the presence would help. >> are you worried because of what happened at the station this week, the murder that took place? >> yeah. it's been more and more often. >> i carry pepper spray. i carry a screwdriver that's this long. i have a stun gun on me because

i take b.a.r.t. every day. especially when i come at night. i'm always watching. i watch everything. >> i just got off the phone with b.a.r.t. officials. still waiting to see if we can get an on camera interview. they did tell me there's not only a free security personnel, but there are more police officers. so we are trying to get an explanation why we haven't seen any of that increased security. however, we have been on train the last two hours. we've been on the daley city train and the train back to fremont. every rider that we've spoken to, they have not seen any increased security. >> interesting. so the question is, why didn't kris see any police officers. b.a.r.t. provided us with this explanation. quote, all patrol officers are required to ride trains during each shift. we also have a team of officers dedicated to riding trains during the peak of commute.

there are as many as 58 trains in service. most shifts are staffed with about 30 officers. we do not have enough officers to be on every train. we rely on our b.a.r.t. customers to be our eyes and ears to report illegal activity. our officers will respond. so do you have concerns about b.a.r.t.? we welcome your ideas on our building a better bay area facebook page because building a b.a.r.t. is part of building a better bay area. six people suffered minor injuries when a car crashed through the front doors of a dollar tree store in vallejo. you can see the car is pretty far inside the store and the building on sonoma. the driver was a 71-year-old woman and that the crash didn't appear to be intentional. all of the people who were hurt were customers. now to the power shutoff. as of 4:30 this afternoon, 59% had power restored, 98% in napa county and 100% in sonoma
