three quarters of a million dollars of wine stolen. in that case in seattle we're talking about 2500 bottles ever wine taken from a high end wine store there, the thieves broke in twice, once to spray paint over security cameras and broke in on thanksgiving cutting a hole in the wall, stealing wine, then puncturing a gas line igniting that trying to set off an explosion. that did not happen but they did get away with $648,000 worth of wine. one of the suspects tried to sell that wine to a broker for a fraction of the price. the broker got suspicious and called police. then the broker realized that he had bought more wine from the same man earlier this year and once he started talking to police, police realized that sale happened a few days after a theft from a wine store here in san francisco. got away with $100,000 of wine. the broker released a statement,
6:06 am
he said, quote, i'm not able to comment on any of this at this point, unfortunately i have been advised not to speak. meantime t owner of the wine store in seattle responded to a report police may have found most of his stolen wine. that owner said quote, while we are still doing an inventory to make sure it's all there the volume recovered makes us eager with anticipation and we can't wait to share the good news with our customers. now t two suspects that police believe may be responsible for both they are in custody in seattle charged with burglary, theft and arson. again police are still looking to see if the crimes are connected. when they arrested one of the two suspects he had a back pack he was trying to hide at the time and inside was a list of wine, certainly that would be evidence when the two men face a judge next week. chase cain, "today in the bay." >> thanks a lot. >> want to check the forecast with meteorologist rob mayeda in for christina. >> good morning. a chilly one around the bay

6:19 am
smoke pollution at its worst or highest this morning in the south bay so as you take the kids to school you'll notice some of that smoke in the air. hopefully the winds pick up tonight. that will improve our air quality and warm up our temperatures. but it's probably not going to wet the roadways. clouds coming in but nothing in the way of rain. that extra moisture coming in will help to trap some of the heat during the day which will lead to slightly warmer start to the day tomorrow. for rainfall, really nothing much there. maybe some sprinkles in parts of the north bay tochblt that's about it as skies turn clear during the day tomorrow. slight sea breeze getting us into the 30s and 40s the next few mornings. today close to 60 in san jose. pacific heights around san francisco should see the upper 50s. mid-50s in napa, tri-valley upper 50s, then 60s starting to show up in the seven-day forecast. san francisco this weekend, low

6:33 am
afternoon, some clouds coming in. this is part of a system that's not going to bring us rain but throw extra moisture into the atmosphere which will act like a blanket. keep those temperatures up for tomorrow morning. you can see how the system falls apart as it gets into the bay area. all it should do is scoop up marine air and push in moisture and get the mornings a little warmer and our afternoons warming up. the highs continue to climb through the weekend. around the bay area close to 60 in san jose, upper 50s near san francisco. the north bay mid-50s in napa, 58 in santa rosa. 58 in fremont and a showing of the seven-day forecast, numbers come up especially san francisco, early next week upper 60s, sunshine. tri-valley seeing the same. you'll probably appreciate the

6:43 am
welcome back. 6:43. this morning investigators are looking into whether two men arrested for a wine heist in seattle are tied to a similar crime in the bay area. chase cain is live in san francisco with the details. good morning, chase. >> reporter: good morning, laura. we're talking about expensive wine. nearly three quarters of a million dollars of wine and that is why san francisco police are talking to seattle police to see if these two crimes are connected. in this more recent seattle crime, 2500 bottles of wine were stolen from a high end store there. thieves broke in twice t first time spray painted over surveillance cameras, disabled alarms, then a second time, cutting a hole in the wall, stealing the wine, on the way out cut a gas line and ignited that line to try and set off an explosion that didn't work. they did get away with $648,000
6:44 am
of wine. one of the suspects took the wine and tried to sell it to a wine dealer for a fraction of the price. the dealer was suspicious so he contacted police. then that broker realized he bought more wine from the same guy earlier this year and they started talking to police and realized that sale to this dealer happened a few days after a theft from a wine store here in san francisco, it is fine wines international near burrnell heights. because of his involvement in the police side of this neil released a statement where he said i am not able to comment on any of this at this point. unfortunately i have been advised not to speak. but the owner of the wine store is speaking once he found out that police may have found most of the wine stolen from him. the owner said quote, while we are still doing an inventory the volume recovered makes us eager with anticipation and we can't wait to share the good news with our customers. >> seattle police have two
6:45 am
suspects in custody charged with burglary, theft and arson. seattle police are again talking with san francisco police here to see if the two crimes are related. one last thing, i have to point out when police arrested one of the suspects in seattle they found them with an article titled "how to commit the perfect crime" and this guy is now in jail. >> a wine list, right? a list of wines? >> reporter: he had a list of fine wines as well, a lot of the same wines they ended up trying to sell to the broker. i guess that's the perfect example of getting caught red-handed. >> evidence in that back pack. >> he didn't read the whole thing. >> thanks so much. >> see what's going on weather wise. >> it's a cold start to the morning at least in parts of the bay area. we have a nice sun rise or presun rise i should say. numbers near 32 degrees in downtown san jose. you can see the number there, zero right now in truckee.
6:46 am
for parts of the south bay around sunnyvale to morgan hill, waking up to the low 30s. peninsula temperatures chilly. mid-30s in spots. tri-valley and inner east bay seeing numbers in the 20s and 30s. the north bay temperatures 20s and 30s in the coldest spots. not much wind. slightly offshore as winds turn back to a sea breeze. that's going to bring in moisture and eventually improve the air quality, which we have a spare the air alert for pollution in the south bay as the winds pick up air quality will improve. our morning temperature is going to come up. you can see a system that will push high clouds our way. but no rain. that's going to be a bit of a blanket for us tomorrow morning, adding extra moisture to the atmosphere which will retain some of the heat and instead of this chilly dry air which has settled into the bay area. the system supporting the extra clouds and the stronger sea breeze not bringing showers. falling apart before it reaches
6:47 am
the bay area. behind it high pressure will build in. you will notice temperatures back on the rise. near 60 today, upper 50s around the peninsula and san francisco, and to the north bay, napa 56 degrees, mid to upper 50s from oakland toward fremont, and now a view of some of the seven-day forecasts around the area, in the 60s for san francisco, look at the morning temperatures starting to climb up. around the tri-valley, a change both in the morning into the mid-30s for the mornings. san jose, too, seeing the warming trend this weekend, mornings finally in the 40s, so you wouldn't think we would talk low 40s feeling warm. that will feel nice. >> relative just like the traffic flow which i'll tell you about in sunol. it's better. not really dramatic slowing. we have the south bay with the northbound routes, we see this kicking in before 7:00. with the orange here and 87 and
6:48 am
