attack. fans we talked to say they feel safe in the security measures they encountered thus far were reasonable and fast. the fans out en masse to experience super bowl central climbing the rock wall, listening to live music and coming up today we'll learn new details about the halftime show from the star herself, katy perry, expected to speak to reporters in a few hours. back to you guys. >> it will be interesting to see. thank you very much. at least the weather cooperates usually in arizona >> it's looking pretty good, 70s and sunny. super bowl xlix is going to air sunday night here on nbc bay area. kickoff is at 3:30. be sure to tune in for all of the pregame festivities. our very own bob redell is headed to phoenix as we speak. he's on his way right now. he's going to join us live starting tomorrow morning and we are very, very excited about that. this is very interesting, if you haven't seen it yet, there's a new controversial cover of

"newsweek" this morning. >> scott mcgrew it's all about silicon valley and doesn't paint a good picture. zbl >> it's not xlim tear at all. what silicon valley thinks of women. it shows you some of the controversies that we already know from gerbasha hall accused of attacking his girlfriend and sexual harassment. it shows a drawn woman with the skirt up in the back with an arrow pulling the irrelevant ask up and it says, "what silicon valley thinks of women." the problems started in small san francisco startups. high-tech companies generally have a better reputation. intel promised $300 million to make its workforce more diverse. apple slightly less diverse. facebook one of the better.

mark zuckerberg coming under fire to adhere to laws in turkey. it comes weeks after zuckerberg took to a digital soap box to support "charlie hebdo." "this is what we all need to reject, a group of extremists trying to silence the voices and opinions of everyone else around the world. i won't let that happen on facebook," he wrote. "i'm committed to building a service where you can speak freely without fear of silence, je suis charlie" except that's not what facebook did. protests in turkey. he acknowledges that facebook has to follow a country's laws but different laws in different countries have caused all kinds of trouble for silicon valley. for instance ebay has to be careful with historical items not to veigh lit german law. google had to remove links to news articles in europe that are actually true under europe's right to be forgotten laws but the companies don't cave in

every time. google shut down google china redirecting users to google hong kong. china then blocked google hong kong. reasonable question to guys is for mark zuckerberg who claims one thing, does another s how badly does facebook need to be in turkey? does it need to be in there so badly that mark zuckerberg has to take back what he said? >> in a global society, of course, democratic values trying to be transposed in other countries when we see some back and forth on that, thank you very much, scott, appreciate it. >> you're right. here are today's top stories as well, this morning at 6:16, san francisco crews keeping an eye out for hot spots in a building that burned at mission and 22nd street. the fire swept through the three-story building. one person died, six others were hurt. the red cross is helping 51 people who now have no place to stay. campus police at dejanza

alpine meadows making that snow whenever they can, overnight lows are cold enough for the snow to be made. i can tell you right now, 33 inches at the base is better than last year. we're doing all right and there's four inches of new snow courtesy of the system that rolled through earlier this week. so as we head throughout the morning, see truckie is at 21 degrees. you're at 41 in sacramento and 39 degrees to start in ukiah. whenever the temperature is below freezing mark they can make the snow. the drier it is the fluffier the powder they're able to make. looking okay up there. great news if you want to head to ta show, you have not been able to so far because of the meager snowfall that we've seen, courtesy of mother nature. i got to tell you we have a great looking system on the way just in time for next weekend. here are your weather headlines today. mild and breezy conditions, just love conditions and this breeze will build as we head throughout the afternoon. warmer weekend coming your way just in time for your super bowl festivities and showers, in fact

we're going to change that to rain. rain returns next week because it is looking really, really good for that. 67 degrees in the south bay. 66 degrees on the peninsula today, and 68 degrees in the beautiful tri valley, where the hills are still green, courtesy of the ample rainfall we accumulated in the month of december. now as we get into this weekend, take a look at where we're headed, san jose up to 70 degrees. 69 on sunday and on monday it's going to be mild out there, but we got some light showers coming your way, as promised. here is your futurecast. if you're not around your television set right now, come on over. come join us for a minute. this is something we haven't been able to show you in quite some time. i take you into late thursday into friday of next week, bulls eye right over the bay area, a good looking storm, and yes, i think we could pick up maybe one to two inches in the higher elevations, if everything pans out. that's rainfall that usually equates to one to two feet of fresh powder in tahoe. the warm system above 7,000 feet

but looking good for that as we head into next week. back to you. >> now we're talking. >> now we're talking. i almost skipped mike. how could i do that when he makes the delicious dips and we're so close to the super bowl, please forgive me and don't forget me when it comes to the dip. >> all right, christina. live look at our camera, stephanie chuang is over there. you see the crews here. i'll step in but i want to let you know this giant mike would be walking toward the extended latter. the fewer crew is still going on, still closed between 21st and mission, just a two or three-block area in the stretch. let's show you where that is in the city itself. the san francisco commute into and out of san francisco via the freeways is all right. the mission district section in the middle there on the screen shows you between 20th and 21st and 23rd, we have the closure for the two blocks there, affecting from 14th to 26th, as far as the 14 and 49 muni lines

on the east bay getting to the south bay, this is 880 through fremont picking up the volume but holding the speed limit but milpitas and in towards san jose. back to you. >> fog or not usually the traffic is visible. thank you, mike. a new gaum-changing environmental satellite on the launch pad alongicalical's central coast. they have scrubbed the launch for today due to high winds. they're going to try again in 24 hours. >> so the so-called smap satellite could help scientists create more accurate weather models, learn more about drought conditions, very relevant here and even predictions. a parent's plea, what one bay area cuple is asking the school to do to protect their son and the rest of the students

66 students at a southern california high school have been told to stay home for now because they may have been exposed to measles. >> all this happening at a school in palm desert, a girl was sent home earlier this week with a suspected case of the measles prompting a round of vaccination checks. the 66 students who were sent home have not been vaccinated. >> the measles outbreak that originated in disneyland has now grown to 95 cases. 79 of those infections are in california. 52 can be directly linked to

disneyland. most of those infected with the disease were mott vaccinated. >> here's one question that's popped up, what if your child cannot get vaccinated? one bay area family is asking their son's school to ban kids who haven't been vaccinated against measles because their own son can't get the shot. >> 6-year-old receipt couitt has leukemia. his immune system isn't even strong enough to get the measles vaccination. so to protect him his parents want everyone else to get the shots. but california allows parents to claim a personal belief exemption. rhett's parents say that law should berepealed. >> we're hoping there's a person or organization, maybe a politician who see this is and says this is something that we can do something about. >> the superintendent of the read union school district says he cannot prevent unvaccinated students from going to school unless there's a localized

outbreak of the measles. >> hopefully it's just contained in general. 6:26 right now. the markets hoping to bounce back after another rough day on wall street. we'll look at the numbers next. a major announcement in the disappearance of the malaysia airlines jet that vanished nearly one year ago.

but to take the threats seriously. >> no we about that, laura, sam. good morning. when people are on board and someone tweets a threat to a specific airline and a specific flight number, authorities have to divert that plane, get everyone off, get all the bags off, go through them, even if they think it's a hoax and that has happened 20 times since saturday. it includes as you said some flights in and out of sfo, and at least one that we know that was leaving san jose, four bay area flights out of the 20 affected so far. now the fbi is trying to figure out who is behind this. so working with twitter, they suspended the accounts for now but trying to figure out who the people are behind the accounts. the investigation is under way. some of the tweets were very specific, not just to airline and flight number but with messages like we planted explosives, we are isis, we are here as in here on the plane. at least one person saw that while they were sitting on the plane. you can imagine how

disconcerting that is. the feds think it may be pranks. however t is a federal crime, that means five years behind bars, up to five years behind bars and a quarter million-dollar fine. >> you have enough anxiety as it is when you're flying. hopefully we'll find out who is responsible. 6:32, following breaking news this morning, a gas tank truck exploded outside of a maternity and children's hospital in mexico city. according to a mexican television network at least 54 people are hurt, 22 of them children. no reports of death so far. the explosion sent a smoke billowing over mexico city. we'll bring you more details as soon as we get them. we'll take a quick look back home and see what's going on outside this morning. 6:32 on your thursday. the golden gate bridge relatively good looking traffic flow there. you can actually see the bridge which is always nice. people are excited. we have a big weekend in store. >> we're being spoiled with

news mission had its offs on the second floor. the staff is okay. people on the second floor. the ground floor is businesses. a rescue squad was able to get more than a half dozen people safely from inside the building. the chief says crew also remain on scene for at least another hour or two. >> it's a difficult fire. it still is. it's not out until all the hot spots are done and we feel the building is safe, the integrity of the building is safe before we leave. we'll stay here. >> reporter: the tricky part of the fire when flames spouted into the attic. investigators will go into the building when it's safe but it may take days to determine the exact cause and origin. six injured all together. the injuries were mostly burns and smoke inhalation and

exhaustion. red cross set up sites for those who lost their homes, at city college, dozens of children. with what's going on here mission may be opened sooner. live in san francisco, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> thanks, steph. we will have updates all morning long including our 11:00 a.m. newscast and any time we're not on air visit our website nbcbayarea.com. there you can find more videos of fires as well as photos from view viewers. we'll get a look outside right now at downtown san jose at daybreak and we know that christina is always the picture of energy and enthusiasm. she's excited about this morning. you have good news to share. >> good news and the futurecast models agree with me. typically that happens maybe 50% of the time this far out from a significant storm system but what i can tell you is, wait 'til i show you some of the

totals that they're projecting. they're going beyond what i would normally associate with this system. i'm going to show that to you as promised. 45 degrees in san jose. good morning to you. as the new day begins, we've got good air quality to moderate, all across the board, and yes, we have a little bit of fog developing throughout your inland valley spots. look at this, clear, beautiful shot of the bay bridge. areas of morning fog, you'll find that through the delta. we have a little bit developing in san jose as well at this point, building ocean breeze later on, so you have the fog and ocean breeze, indication of onshore flow back in the bay area. that means it's not going to be as dry out there as it has been. here is the deal. mid to high 60s yet again today, plenty of sunshine coming your way this afternoon, and then that fog will return this evening. it's going to roll in more heavily tonight. 5:30 the sun goes down. it's unusual to have high this is warm with our days as short as they are in the wintertime.

sunday at 8:00 a.m., the moisture still coming through. let me give you an idea of the preliminary projections from some of our models. let that tally run, look at this. maybe an inch and a half possible right here in san jose, over an inch and a half in palo alto and same for san francisco, looking good for the north bay to receive some ample rainfall out of the system with more on the heels, we've got another one brewing towards the middle of february. so the further you go out, the less confidence we have in some of the forecast models but this system looks good. i'm really liking what i'm seeing as we get into the next seven days. we're going to keep you updated. i'm watching that like a hawk just like mike is watching your drive. let's check in with him right now. good morning. >> good morning, christina. we had trouble seeing 280 at 17 in san jose. this shot is 101 at 680, where we see a slower drive and we can see the clouds in the sky, we can see the road and the sky. let's show you the map of the two shots in comparison. there's christina's shot and my

shot downtown san jose. you see how difficult her job is with the microclimates affecting the view. the traffic though not so tough to call. you know you'll have the slower drive, capitol expressway and 068 where 101 slows, 85, 87 and 280 your typical south bay and silicon valley build. typical thursday pattern. the tri valley through dublin and pleasanton and sunol for the build, same 880 out of hayward and fremont a little bit of building up and fog around the san mateo bridge. farther north the bay bridge toll plaza and in san francisco as you get off the bridge, looking to the mission district where stephanie talked about the fire. the cleanup continues why mission street is still closed. the fire watt 2nd and mission. roadway is closed between 21st and 23rd. muni 14, 14l, x and 49 taking ail reroute until they have that cleared, possibly before 8:00

the victim says he has a cut to his lip and a strong body odor. campus police returned to duty about an hour ago and overnight the santa clara county sheriff did respond, was able to respond to calls for help but there were none. i am awaiting calls back from the college and campus police. in the meantime, if you are a student here at deanza college or your kids go to school her, advise them to use the buddy system because the sun is not coming up until after 7:20 so still not broad daylight. in cube tina, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> we hear this about kind of thing far too often. thank you very much. this morning police will install radar warning signs along a san jose street where a jogger was killed by alleged street racers earlier this week. last night friends and family of kyran pan la honored her with a candlelight vigil. the 24-year-old died monday after she was hit by two cars believed to have been racing
