right now back to you and the rest of the top stories of the day. >> thank you so much. breaking news this morning because we're hearing reports of a building explosion in north bend, washington. 30 miles southeast of seattle. multiple buildings are on fire and there is debris all over a grocery store parking lot. the reports started coming in within the last hour, we'll, of course, bring you more information as soon as it becomes available to us. 5:02 right now social media giant instagram is working to reach a cyberpredator. christie smith is live with the request what the stalker is skg kids to do, christie. >> good morning to you. what is happening these messages went out through instagram asking students for pornographic or inappropriate photos. so, the district, pleasant unified sent home a letter reminding families to talk about

internet safety with their kids and not sharing personal details online and certainly not opening any messages they might be receiving from strangers but to report that, if they do, according to the trend. instagram allows users to take and share photos but, apparently, a number of students have received these messages from an account that is just described as outside of the community. essentially asking to exchange inappropriate pictures. but the incidents didn't happen at school or on school computers. investigators say they are working with instagram to figure out exactly who is behind this account. reporting live in pleasanton, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thank you. at 5:03, the elderly man accused of opening fire in a daly city medical center could be in court as early as today. police have until today to present their case to the district attorney's office. if that happens, he could be arraigned this afternoon.

"today in the bay" chase cain live in san jose with the details. watch around your feet, chase. >> i have been keeping an eye on the ground around me because especially here in montgomery

hill park and evergreen college yesterday someone spotted a four-foot rattlesnake. that rattlesnake also likely venturing out a little bit to try and find water. not just snakes that people need to watch out for. in san francisco they have been complaining about problems with rats. rats have been drawn, apparently, especially to sprinklers people running their sprinkler systems and even water bowls for dogs. those have also been a magnet for rodents to come out of hiding and all because we're in such a severe drought and not a lot of water around for these critters. california is in the middle of its worst drought in some 500 years. according to the u.s. drought monit monitor, 77% of the state is in exceptional or extreme drought. last week it was just 67% of the state. so, things are getting worse. again, that does mean that it is forcing rodents and pests out of hiding. >> there's no water source for them right now. they're going outside to get it. and they eat plants, they eat meat but they're going to the

dog parks because there's water bowls. they're going to the horse stables because there's water. >> now, take a look at the u.s. drought monitor which was released just yesterday. it puts most of the bay area into d-4, which is exceptional drought. the highest ranking of drought basically from san francisco and contra costa county southward. in fact, that category, that area stretches all the way into the central valley, which, of course, is a major supplier of food and that is already having an impact on higher food prices. really just a lot of problems we're experiencing in california. sort of ironic that we're out here in the rain this morning talking about a drought and that shows you how serious it is. no matter how many rainy days we had over the past kuchal months we just can't shake this. as you mentioned in the last half hour, we're getting close to our dry season and that's not good news either. >> we'll find out with christina right now. thanks a lot, chase. we have to add the humongous

rats and now we have rats all because of this drought. >> it is absolutely bizarre how things keep changing for us. we keep getting all this rain towards the end of our rainy season, yet, the drought gets worse and worse every time i check. now, what happened yesterday that is really significant is the entire state of california has a drought on its hands. we did have a little bit of relief in the southeastern portion of the state. as of yesterday, that changed. temperature this morning here are nice and mild. we've got showers coming in, this will not put a dent in the drought. what might, though, is the potential for an el nino as we head throughout the winter. as we head throughout next winter, actually looking very promising every time i check. that is the one light at the end of the tunnel when it does come to the drought. that is ways out. today we're tracking the showers for you, widespread and will impact your morning drive and grab your umbrella because not just a morning event. the showers will continue, not

quite as steadily but start to break apart more scattered in nature. they'll continue throughout the day today. so, you will want to be ready for that. as we head throughout this afternoon, this is what you can expect, cool, cloudy day. showers continue. for the first part of the morning, watch for slick conditions i want to show you san francisco is looking good and we don't have a lot of fog out there. cool daytime highs. 50s and 60s. so, much cooler than average. and as we head throughout this evening, showers will start to really clear up. 7:51 is your sunset. as we get into this weekend, another chance for rain late saturday into sunday. show you your futurecast in my next report and then the heat is on. hottest weather we've had in months on the way to the bay area next week. we'll talk about that coming up. let's say good morning to mike inouye. >> looking here on the street. this is what's going on the rain christina is talking about. the sprinkles or drizzle wherever you are. wet roadways. that is the bay bridge toll plaza. easy drive right now. the map shows you the maze and

there's the green highlighting piedmont and the maze on the approach and wet roadways registering on our maps. over here, though, we're watching westbound 80 passing by and reports of a wrong way driver. thought it was initially a spinout. they said, no, someone was traveling eastbound on the westbound side and chp giving an update. someone hit the center divide and no injuries and people now outside of the car. somebody got turned around and they are on the side of the road along with their car. be careful passing by highway 4. the rest of your bay, there's the green we talked about mostly south of the san mateo bridge and still watch those wet roadways around the bay and those clouds will continue drifting around for that drizzle. back to you. >> thanks so much. a live look outside oracle arena. all quiet now. but last night it was certainly rocking. the warriors put a surge late in the game, but they just weren't able to beat the clippers. now trail the best of seven series 2-1. game four at oracle sunday afternoon at 12:30.

drizzle still hitting here and that will affect you as you drive across over the peninsula and watch the slick roadways and don't underestimate it. you have to slow down more gradually on days like this. bridge coming from san rafael and westbound 580 a damp roadway but not wet moving very smoothly towards the north bay. back to you. >> all right, mike, thank you very much. an update to the breaking news we're covering. a building explosion caused by a natural gas leak at a pizza parlor. northbound about 30 miles east of seattle. the explosion happened just after 3:30 this morning waking up the entire neighborhood. there's actually still a large plume of smoke in that area. our affiliate king tv reports that multiple buildings are on fire and there's debris scattered all over a grocery store parking lot. we'll, of course, continue to bring you more information as soon as it becomes available to us. tens of thousands of people converging on rome this morning as the vatican gets ready for two catholic popes. this will be both a happy and

is reminding parents to talk with their kids about internet safety and not sharing information with people you don't know and reporting anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. they also provided a link for internet safety tips and didn't specify which age group was contacted. also want to know that pleasanton police have been notified and working with instagram working with who the owner of the account actually is. >> thanks so much, christie. 5:32. two men are in custody in connection with a deadly shooting in milpitas in january. loyce weaver and robert ebertowski. he was already in custody on unrelated charges. now, they are accused in the death of a 19-year-old who was found shot to death in the parking lot of the executive inn on january 14th. a 21-year-old man accused of throwing a fire cracker into a

crowd of people at at&t park will be back in court for a preliminary hearing today. he pleaded not guilty last week. investigators say he tossed the lit fire cracker on to a busy walkway during a giants game. at least five people were hurt. he's been charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor. and an arraignment is scheduled for the man involved in a major silicon valley drug ring that stretched from mexico to northern california. prosecutors say this man of san jose is considered to be a high-level member of a mexican drug cartel. he is among 17 other suspects accused of trafficking and various weapons charges. investigators say that drugs were trafficked throughout the south bay and beyond. they found both a meth and cannabis lab in sacramento county. it looks like 49ers star aldon smith has avoided a felony charge for making a bomb threat at l.a.x. the district attorney has recommended smith be charged with a misdemeanor, instead. the l.a. city attorney has the

final say. smith made the alleged bomb threat earlier this month while going through airport security. possible bomb threat charges are not smith's only legal troubles. he'll be in a san jose courtroom next week for a hearing on felony weapons charges and drunk driving. smith is accused of shooting at people who would not leave a party at his house back in 2012. two people filed a lawsuit against smith and former 49er delaney walker claiming they were injured in that shooting. just yesterday one of those men reached an out of court settlement with smith and walker. you know, rain is in today's forecast, but the drought in california is still affecting all of us, even the animals, of course. "today in the bay" chase cain is live where even the smallest animals are feeling the effects of the drought. some of the small animals. >> well, some of them are not so small because yesterday not far from where we are now, someone spotted a four-foot rattlesnake. i would not want to come too close to that. at evergreen college just on the other side of montgomery hill

park where we are. of course, people in this area are being advised to watch out for that. they think that rattle snasnake just out looking for water, which hopefully it can find this morning because we had rain. rats are a problem in san francisco where lots of people are complaining that rats have been going after sprinklers and water bowls for people's dogs. really just coming out because they are looking for some water. and paleo climentologists say we might be in the state of california in our worst drought in 500 years. no wonder the animals are feeling it. 77% of the state are now in extreme or exceptional drought and just a week ago that number was only 67%. it does seem that things are getting worse. this rain may not be enough to help and until things do get better, it is definitely forcing rodents and pests out of hiding. >> water source for them right now. they're going outside to get it and they eat plants, they eat meat but they're going to the

dog parks because there's water bowls. they're going to the horse stables because there's water. >> take a look at the u.s. drought monitor. the latest one released just yesterday. it puts most of the bay area from bay area and southward in d-4. that is exceptional drought. the highest level of drought which they measure and that does stretch into the central valley of california and down much of the central coast of california, as well. so, a lot of food that is grown in those regions and the drought is having an impact on food prices and food availability. so, really, we are feeling it. it does not seem that this rain is going to be enough and it may seem ironic that we're out here talking about a drought even when it's raining in the morning, but that should give you an idea of how bad things are. so, hopefully christina loren will have good news for us shortly. >> absolutely. as raindrops we wish they were enough to make up for the drought, chase, thank you so much. it's not. have to keep that in mind. >> we would really need just

like a huge system, an el nino or something, christina. >> we could potentially get out of the drought over the course of one rainy season, if we get hit to six to seven maybe even eight powerful storm systems. you know what, the only way that could happen is if we see the el nino develop and it becomes a rainy season. that's potentially in the works for this next winter. that's what we're watching for for you we are on el nino watch and nbc bay area weather department. this morning we are watching those showers for you in addition to the rainfall coming through. we're tracking some thunder. now this is well to our north and the sacramento valley pushing over towards lake tahoe. however, a sign of the instability associated with this air mass and that chance is going to be heightened as we head throughout this afternoon. we accumulate that daytime heating and the chance for thunderstorms gets a little bit better. between the hours of lunchtime, noon, to about 3:00 p.m. if you're headed out, keep that in mind you could get caught. under a strong thunderstorm and that could be capable of

producing some hail. so, that's what we're watching for for today as we round out the month of april. actually accumulating more rain than average. it could actually go down as a record month, which is so bizarre. things have just been so unsteady in the bay area's weather. but things will change as we head into the summer months. as of next week, in fact, tracking the potential for fire weather. let's talk about the good news and that's the cool, cloudy day with showers continuing throughout the day and potentially half of an inch and maybe an inch of rainfall. up in the north bay, looking more like a quarter of an inch here in the south bay, but some places like los gatos, you could accumulate half of an inch. steady rainfall for that morning drive and highs in the 50s and 60s and need your jacket and umbrella for today and mostly clear conditions for this evening with another round of rain on the way late saturday into sunday. temperatures today are going to be chilly. 61 degrees. that's it for today in the north bay and upper 50s in the tri-valley and east bay and uniform numbers with this cold air moving onshore associated with this storm system.

your microclimate is not making a big difference temperature wise for today, but they will. yeah, we're talking record heat. just days away. i'll talk about that in my next report right now, let's check your droiv and it is rainy and could be slowing. here's mike inouye. >> looking towards fremont and turn the cameras south towards mission boulevard. taillights heading south into san jose. let's take them on the map here and see the green highlighting around the south bay maps because the damp roadways as christina talks about. a crash south 880 and sounds like everything is out of the lanes and they don't see slowing there or the rest of the south bay. the green highlighted just south of the dumbarton bridge and no big deal. the rest of smoothly and we see southbound 101 picking up a little company and moisture in the air, but not a big deal heading down towards the golden gate bridge. cdc taking extra measures after an increase in measles. we'll have details in a live report.

plus a very special tribute today to the men and women. many of them from here in the bay area. how they will be honored, coming up next.

5:42 on your friday morning. doctors are warning parents about what could be the biggest measles outbreak in two decades. some of the highest numbers of cases are right here in california. tracie potts is live on capitol hill this morning with new warnings from federal health officials and this is something that affects everyone, tracie. >> it certainly does, but definitely having a big impact right there in california. almost half of the 129 cases nationwide came from california and that's just this year so far. it's twice as many as we normally see in the first four months of the year. it's the largest growth rate since, within the last 18 years. almost two decades and that's why the cdc is cerb oncerned. 1 in 20 kids aren't getting their measles shots before they

go into school. now, this is having an impact not only across california, but specifically in the bayiaryia. two incidents at uc berkeley raised concern just this year because one of them was astru t student who road b.a.r.t. as a result of that, they think thousands of people may have been exposed. they are seeing through southern california. lots of younger parents and doctors who never lived through the original measles outbreaks and vaccines. they want to make sure that not only parents are taking it seriously, but they've never seen it before in their lifetimes but also the doctors know what to look for. peggy? >> tracie, one of the investigations is the herd is vaccinated and that's not happening here. >> we see this with the flu vaccine. well, everybody around me gets vaccinated, i don't need to. that's not necessarily the case with measles. one of the concerns one of the
