>> 5:24. a lack of rain could bring mountain lions and other wild animals into bay area neighborhoods. wildlife officials say the dry weather is driving thirsty animals, probably not chickens, closer to cities. there is a bad guy. it's an issue in southern california, as people could see here in northern california more mountain lions and bears, even deer can be aggressive if thirsty and desperate. >> they need to eat and they need to drink water as much as we do, so what happens is when they can't find a natural stream they are going to go to where the water is which is often in people's yards. >> wildlife officials say as tempting as it is to set out water for thirsty animals, they advise doing that. >> while the rest of the country

is getting pounded by snow california's run of dry weather is creating a lot of concerns for the ski business. most ski shops in the bay area say they are still seeing a steady stream of customers heading to the resorts. it seems manmade snow is keeping them afloat. the owner of snow drift ski shop says he scaled back the number of employees from 10 to 3 as a result of the dry year. some of his customers say conditions are not ideal but they are skiable. >> you just have to expect a lot of runs that aren't open but you know, the worst day of skiing is possibly better than your best day in the office. >> boy, i second that. i couldn't agree with that more. tomorrow the california department of water resources plans to conduct the year'shfq c first snow survey. early data shows the snowpack is 20% of normal for this time of year. >> so let's figure this out. dry weather means bears are coming out of the mountains, skiing isn't that great, christina loren joins us when does it end?

>> let's bring on more. bad air quality. ends next week. >> locust. >> let's keep them away. we're looking good so far. 39 degrees in the south bay, the peninsula 41, 36 degrees in the east bay and san francisco at 44 degrees. we do have a major pattern change next week, that's the good news. we need that jet stream to come to the south in order for the storm systems to end up here in the bay area. that will take place as of tuesday. for the next couple days, mild f you have outdoor activities you want the warmth get it done while it's still warm out there. 66 in san francisco. not too shabby out there, anthony. >> no. yeah. in fact, as we were talking earlier things are looking good, that continues to be the case. i want to take your attention to palo alto, let's take 101 into san francisco. and that's where we are finding issues. over to the traffic map you hit over on the 280 if you

travel from san francisco down to daly city, there is a small in the middle lane blocking the traffic. in san francisco, the other direction this is at fremont street, there is an accident on the right shoulder. it's causing some slowing but not too bad at least coming in frontal the east bay. back to you guys. >> thank you. >> right now 5:27. still to come on "today in the bay" we continue to follow breaking news in san jose where investigators are on the scene of the first homicide of the year. >> an arson investigation at the chinese consulate in san francisco.

call, they also heard a car driving off but for whatever reason, no one bothered to call 911. police have been talking to people around here, no one seems to know this man. they don't know why he was shot and killed and of course they don't have a suspect as of yet. so what they have been doing, they tell us, people are being cooperative, trying to figure out what was the motive behind this shooting and who was the person who shot this man. again, the first homicide here in san jose taking place here in the eastern part of the city. >> thank you much. >> a developing story out of israel to tell you about. a hospital official says former prime minister aerial sharon's health is declining. he has been in the hospital for about eight years remarkably but his condition has drastically deteriorated. they say some of his organs including his kidneys are malfunctioning. the 85-year-old has been in a

releas released. there is speculation she or he was an uber partner. uber released a statement saying in part quote our olcy is to deactivate any law enforcement matter. if the driver is in fact a partner of uber she will be deactivated using that uber technology. so uber, it's unclear whether it was an uber car at all. >> police have identified two people shot on new year's eve as a college student and a boy. the boy, lee, was reportedly talking home when he was shot near the circumstance of 104th and walnut. he was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. investigators say 21-year-old ashley walker was shot while
